U.S. Tries to Make It Easier to Wiretap the Internet

Posted on 27 September 2010

Federal law enforcement and national security officials are preparing to seek sweeping new regulations for the Internet, arguing that their ability to wiretap criminal and terrorism suspects is “going dark” as people increasingly communicate online instead of by telephone.

Essentially, officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications — including encrypted e-mail transmitters like BlackBerry, social networking Web sites like Facebook and software that allows direct “peer to peer” messaging like Skype — to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order. The mandate would include being able to intercept and unscramble encrypted messages.

They probably already are "wiretapping" the internet.
In order to hide this possible fact they come out publicly and whine about what they think should be done.
To feign ineptness is an old trick that never fails to work with the sheep.

They Are!

And to prove it, you can look up a Government Program, called Carnivore, which has been renamed but it still in use.

I think their, main issue with the internet though is people are not listening to their prepared "News Media" these days.

They are looking for ways, to shut off freedom of association so they can go back to the era, of the 1960's and 1970's where they have complete control of the information people received.

The Government has been "Spying" on Internet users for awhile now.
People don't realize this but whenever those planes took down those
buildings on 9/11 our Government enacted laws that allow the Feds to
spy on average,everyday citizens for no reason at all and the really scary
thing about those laws is this,anybody who disagrees,protests or says
and writes anything negative about our Government can be considered
a Terrorist and punished accordingly.

This is the exact scenario our Founding Fathers warned us about and
tried to protect us from when they wrote the Constitution.I wonder just
how long the American public is going to take this abuse from these
criminals who now control our country?

This is another good reason for the citizens to get out there and excessive our rights, and legally defeat them.

Then when the truth comes out go after and legally punish FBI,CIA, Homeland KGB, and other scum.
