 Are You in the FBI’s Suspicious Activities Database?Posted on Dec 22, 2010
The Washington Post’s Dana Priest has another phone book’s worth of terrifying revelations about our national security/police/prison state. One that really chills given the FBI’s track record is the “vast repository” the Bureau is building that “stores the profiles of tens of thousands of Americans and legal residents who are not accused of any crime. What they have done is appear to be acting suspiciously to a town sheriff, a traffic cop or even a neighbor.”

If they are allowed to collect it without our consent,
Report thisthen the public should be allowed to have access to the
nformation as well. And with usability.

If you’re not in their database you must not be a true American.

I assume I am. I was told (by a friend that free-lanced for the CIA) in 1987 that I was on some official list of “subversives.” I also seem to be on the no-fly list and receive a special body search every time I take a flight to the US. In my recent memoir THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY ACT: MEMOIR OF AN AMERICAN REFUGEE (http://www.stuartbramhall.com), I explain how I got in this predicament (despite being a board certified psychiatrist in clinical practice for more than 32 years). I currently live in exile in New Zealand.

The Bush/Cheny Patriot Act took away our freedom and constiutional rights. We need to establish a new and better government and we can start by abolishing the Patriot Act, Fed, CIA and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and fire Turbo Timmy Geithner
Report thisFannie, Freddie and the Fed are a “drag” on our economy. The Fed keeps printing money which weakens the dollar and a low interest rate for Corporate America. Freddie and Fannie have tens of thousands toxic defaulted loans on their books.
The CIA has been turned into an organization with a license to terrorize, torture, kidnap and kill. CIA policies include assasinations and coups.
Tim Geithner is simply a pawn doing the dirty work of the financial oligarcy stealing our hard earned tax dollars to cover their bad debts, toxic assets and zero or low interest loans.
Clean up the corruption and then put people back to work

I find it ironic that one of the largest data bases in the US is kept stored in a state (West Virginia)that looks at information and knowledge as something that dropped from Beelzebubs asshole.
Look at this as a positive, if you are in their database, you must be doing something right. And try to ignore that white plumbers van that has been parked across the street for the last week or so.

Why are they allowed to keep your fingerprints, mug shots, DNA and even pictures of your dick(Michael Jacksons)?? If you are not convicted ALL evidence should be destroyed.

This is illegal intrusion. This is not security this is over reaching and laying the foundations for the outright dictatorship to come. And, all paid for by the people that are soon to lose their freedoms because of it. Shame!

Report thisAmong others, I’m sure. I’ve been through the criminal justice system. Fingerprints, photos, and even DNA, it’s all there, not to mention Social Security number and tax returns. The government has a file on everyone, and they can, and will use it against you if you step out of line. But that’s the price we pay for a “civilized” society, so quit bitchin’ and do what you are told, slaves.

The Amerikan public only have themselves to blame by cowardly ,submissively accepting every encroachment and debasement of our Constitution- all from the fear manufactured by the State. This is precisely why we once had the 4th and 5th Amendments. And people still say ” yes, but it’s for our own protection” and ” but, don’t you feel safer now” and of course my all time favorite ” I don’t mind, they can tap my phone, I have nothing to hide” Stupidity and fear will be our downfall.

Add that to Obama’s executive order he is prepared to sign in the new year, establishing the government’s right to detain prisoners without charge or trial(Democracy Now, 12/22/10), and that means any one with a complaint they Obama does not like, and off you go to the Gulag. America feels, and looks more like Josef Stalin’s U.S.S.R. everyday.

Implanted GPS chips from a dentist or doctor come next I presume? And cataract surgery? What’s on that little lens, anyway?
Visited your friendly neighborhood proctologist lately?
Does your new tattoo come with a bar code?
Extreme examples? Maybe.
Just remember,they are more afraid of US than we should be of THEM. And too much information is just as bad as none. So if everyone was on the list their list would be meaningless. Just a thought.
