Jail's not even cost effective.

Law enforcement has absolutely no need for the Digital Telephony Act except
to give them their own access terminals and PRETEND there is a firewall
between what the Military is doing versus what the FBI is doing.

Of course, to monitor phone calls at full capacity,
the FBI will need to use Military surveillance software.

We've come a long way from requiring a person to listen to the first minute
of conversation to even decide whether the person could continue to monitor.

It's a brave new world now.


We're there.


Surprise.

Texe Marrs and his organization are big on the "Anti-Christ" aspects of all
the technology the UKUSA governments have deployed to monitor people.

I am just glad he knows the Beast when he sees it, that it is Evil (without
the people involved necessarily being evil in intent: agreed!) and that
unless we do something soon, it will be too late: Earth will become Hell.

His book-jacket bio: Texe Marrs was a career U.S. Air Force officer (retired).
He commanded communications-electronics and engineering units around the globe.

This spying is illegal, massive, and domestic.
