Our Phone Calls And E-mails Are Being Monitored By The NSA ....

The FBI is flying planes overhead to track us. Yet this Roof kid puts a manifesto on the Internet talking about his intentions of killing blacks and starting a race war - complete with pics of him with a gun, burning an American flag, sporting the confederate flag and patches from Rhodesia - and these agencies didn't pick up on this guy? What's wrong with this picture?

The far right might be packed full of murderous freaks who want to tear down the government, but the left wants to cost rich men some of their ill gotten money.

Who they go after shows us who owns them.

There is reason to believe there is information to gather. There is a data base of the number doing the calling, the number called date, time and length of call. Unless a wiretap is placed on a number the information on a call is not recorded.

But the original post raises an interesting question.

If they didn't, there's a problem.

The biggest problem is, when secret laws and secret government run the country, We the People aren't allowed to know the truth.

An Explanation

To take a saying from a film, “I see all this stuff going on, and I dont see anyone doing anything about it. And it pisses me off.”. To take a saying from my favorite film, “Even if my life is worth less than a speck of dirt, I want to use it for the good of society.”.

I have no choice. I am not in the position to, alone, go into the ghetto and fight. I chose Charleston because it is most historic city in my state, and at one time had the highest ratio of blacks to Whites in the country. We have no skinheads, no real KKK, no one doing anything but talking on the internet. Well someone has to have the bravery to take it to the real world, and I guess that has to be me.

Unfortunately at the time of writing I am in a great hurry and some of my best thoughts, actually many of them have been to be left out and lost forever. But I believe enough great White minds are out there already.

Please forgive any typos, I didnt have time to check it.

The NSA are only saving our communications, indexing them, and not everyones--they had the power to do so-- they pick who based on whatever. This is what's not understood. Though I detest that they were doing it.

They either should have known and didn't, which proves they're full of shit that they need to do this. And Obama should withdraw the request to continue with the illegal spying.

Or they knew and did nothing. Which proves they're full of shit that they need to continue to do this. And, Obama should withdrawal the request to continue with the illegal program.

It is hard to get our government to even acknowledge that domestic terrorism exists. They refuse to call all of these attacks domestic terrorism in the first place, much less declare war on domestic terrorism.

That is why. They aren't even looking for domestic terrorists, even though they are a bigger threat to the country.
