In a review of intelligence activities by the Justice Department, the National Security Agency (NSA) was caught abusing its domestic surveillance authority, accessing e-mails and phone calls within the United States.

Despite the Justice Department taking “comprehensive steps to correct the situation and bring the program into compliance,” we should all write our legislators complaining about this infraction of our rights and demanding they take steps to prevent future illegal spying on our citizens. Here’s a sample letter you can send your representatives:

Senator/Representative _________,

Domestic eavesdropping is a serious issue for which I harbor deep concerns. Although limited authority to investigate suspicious individuals is reasonable given due cause, it is entirely unacceptable for any element of government to conduct intelligence gathering activities on the general citizenry without prior and specific court approval.

Law adopted by Congress in 2007 requires court approval to monitor purely domestic communications. Violation of this law by any public body should be immediately investigated, details made public, and offenders punished. Consequences must be made clear to public servants who violate the law.

Continued infractions of our liberties will not be tolerated. We look to Congress to re-evaluate domestic surveillance legislation and ensure it adequately protects our inalienable rights as citizens of a free country.

Here’s a great resource for finding the names and contact information for your Congressional representatives. Take a few minutes to cut and paste the sample letter into an e-mail and let these lawmakers know we mean business. Enough is enough!

Domestic eavesdropping has been a contentious issue since 2005, when it was discovered that for years following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the NSA intercepted international phone conversations and e-mails involving U.S. citizens without a warrant.

In 2007 Congress ended that program and passed legislation requiring the NSA to get court approval to monitor the purely domestic communications of Americans who came under suspicion. Since details of the Justice Department’s findings have not been made public it is not clear what aspects of the current law have been broken by the agency.

The Mustache Revolution is brewing. It is not a fashion statement; it does not even involve hair. It is the revolution that is happening in America, Right Under Our Noses. It fits right in between Marx’s model of government overthrow and Bernstein’s democratic socialism. This is elected officials distracting the electorate that begs them to act unconstitutionally. Here is how it was done.

A Little History
Karl Marx advocated a violent revolution to nationalize industry, redistribute wealth, and create a proletarian dictatorship. This would be very difficult for the American left, since they are anti-gun, anti-violence, and tend to dislike noncompliance. Edward Bernstein came around after Marx’s death and advocated democratic socialism. His goal was still to nationalize industry, but to accomplish it democratically. What is happening today is the Mustache Revolution; it meets the standards of both socialist ideologies. The US has elected our President and Congress democratically; most of the legislation has come about democratically; the problem is that the boundaries set by the constitution, make the process too slow. Therefore, in the name of Crises, Necessity, or Protection the limits on government are quickly removed.

Bailout Big Banks
Step one, use tax dollars to keep private businesses afloat. This gives government, not total control, but the ability to regulate finance in order to protect the interest of the people. Step two, make an enormous legislative blunder, and blame it on the banking industry. Let us not forget that the clause about the executive bonuses was removed, not forgotten, not left out, but removed. After there is a huge public outcry over executive bonuses, the next step is to levy a 90% tax. This tax of course is not limited to the bank that gave the bonuses, nor is it limited to the banking industry; the plan is to levy a tax on all executives who have a high salary and receive bonuses.

Stress Test
Of course, the wealth redistribution is not enough. The remaining step is to take major services, such as banking, health care, or auto manufacturers, and make them national industries. The first and most important of these is to take over the financial industry. The Financial industry is essential, because all businesses run off of the availability of credit (hence capitalism). Once all industries are getting their loans from the government, their nationalization will happen quickly and with little protest. So, after bailing out the banking industry, the next step is to create a stress test; this serves two purposes; 1) it asserts government power over the industry (no other industry needs to be deemed “strong enough to survive” in order to exist in the US economy), and 2) it makes people think that the government should step in when the test is not passed. Third, after the failure of the stress tests, the government will claim that the banks need to come under temporary government control. Since government has never improved a business after taking it over, temporary can be a very long time.

Not Under My Nose!
Things that stink are not meant to pass under your nose without notice! This revolution cannot continue to be ignored simply because we are in an economic downturn. Recession is not an excuse to jump from crises to crises without thinking out the political consequences of our actions. The hardest thing to regain, once it is lost, is freedom. And freedom is blindfolded on its knees in front of a gun named socialism.

Obama spells clear shift to Socialism in budget, Israel does the opposite and pushes for spending cuts, lower taxes, and smaller government; U.S. moves to increase ownership of Citibank 30% to 40%, bloggers and unions join forces to push Democrats further to the Left, Congress makes health care top priority, Congressmen treat Obama like king, waiting 12.5 hours just to shake his hand…just the latest in your Freedom Under Fire Report!

Famous investor and writer, Jim Rogers (Adventure Capitalist, Investment Biker, and Hot commodities), recently stated that America is “more communist than China right now,” but our variant of socialism is geared towards the rich. He was referring to the federal government’s decision to bail out beleaguered mortgage giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Tagged onto earlier questionable Federal Reserve bailouts designed to stabilize the financial system, as well as longer-term protectionist policy and corporate subsidies, Mr. Rogers might just be onto something…
