| − | ==Why Does Pervasive Domestic Wiretapping of Law-Abiding Citizens Matter to Conservatives?==
| |
| − | There is a 21st century trend, as revealed by [[Edward Snowden]], [[William Binney]] and other [[Bill of Rights]] supporting [[whistleblower]]s, towards pervasive monitoring by both the Federal government and businesses like [[Google]] via "wiretap" of law-abiding citizen's internet, [[smartphone]] and smart television (Amazon FireTV, Roku and AppleTV) activity:
| |
| | | | |
| − | This apt quote best explains the reason why this pervasive domestic surveillance matters to many [[patriot]] [[conservative]]s and [[veteran]]s, who are inherently against [[big government]], and to many [[citizen]]s interested in [[preparedness]]:

| − | * "The progress of [[science]] in furnishing the [[big government|government]] with means of [[espionage]] is not likely to stop with wiretapping. Ways may some day be developed by which the [[Police state|government]], without removing papers from secret drawers, can reproduce them in court, and by which it will be enabled to expose to a [[jury]] the most intimate occurrences of the home. Advances in the psychic and related sciences may bring means of exploring unexpressed beliefs, thoughts and emotions. 'That places the [[liberty]] of every man in the hands of every [[tyrant|petty officer]]' was said by James Otis of much lesser intrusions than these. 1 To Lord Camden a far slighter intrusion seemed '[[subversive]] of all the comforts of society.' Can it be that the [[Constitution]] affords no protection against such invasions of [[Fourth Amendment|individual security]]?"
