When journalist Glenn Greenwald broke the news about The National Security Agency’s on-going collection of “information on all telephone calls” in Verizon’s vast network, the United States population exploded with questions.
While Greenwald says he doesn’t know if Verizon is the only telecom under the NSA’s spell, a flip back in time will reveal there are, more than likely, others involved.
Flash back to a December 16, 2005 article in the New York Times in which James Risen and Eric Lichtblau disclosed that the Bush era spy order began the virtual dragnet of customer communications involving AT&T and Verizon, Sprint Nextel and others. One company that didn’t participate, Qwest, says it was approached about turning over their customer information in February 2001.
Anyone interested can get an overview of our country’s surveillance background by watching a clip from the widely acclaimed documentary, Washington, You’re Fired.
The Bush Era wiretaps were more than illegal though; they were unconstitutional. Judges Vaughn Walker and Anna Diggs Taylor explained that in different decision about similar cases.
Today’s NSA/Verizon relationship is much like the Bush NSA/Telecom fiasco.
The more interesting part about the Obama and Bush spy programs is it’s not the first time portions of the United States general population have found themselves being surveilled. The Supreme Court cases Katz v United States and Berger v New York, both from 1967, dealt with invasion of privacy and eavesdropping on telephone conversations.
What should be clear by now is that that this country has become a surveillance society, and it has been as far back as at least the 1960’s.
Something else well established is that the United States government is willing to break the law that governs them, the Constitution, in order to spy on the United States population.
Is it any wonder that people refer to the present conditions of the United States as a 1984 Society?
