I just finished watching a very timely movie.... |
|
"Enemy Of The State" with Will Smith and Gene Hackman. It was about the NSA and the eavesdropping on the American public.I really wonder what these actors thing bout what's going on now. This movie was made in 1998 by the way, I also wonder which one of the whitehouse gang watched it and used it as a reference.

1. Good rec. Also check out Network |
|
from the '76 or so. It's so relevant, especially to the overhaul of the media, and corporate power.

I've seen it on but never caught the beginning. I'll have to watch it now that I know what it's about.

3. The government has been spying on us for a long time. |

I find these issues almost funny. I have a retired relative that worked for the NSA for twenty years. If half of what he tells me is true, this is much ado about nothing.
People have no idea how long this crap has been going on and the level it has penetrated.
This will go nowhere because the democrats know when they start turning over the crap under bush's rocks, a whole lot of other rocks will be turned over with stuff that does not need to see the light of day. Political damaging to all administrations

5. I'm watching it right now. |
|
I wonder how many have been executed in that way and then made it to look like an accident when they wouldn't cooperate with a bribe or blackmail.
