this country is at war with enemies who want the west and its allies finished..
this country is spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the war on terrorism- least we can do is give information about our daily and cellular lives.
they can do whatever they please, for all i care, to keep us safe and if that means spying on our every move then so be it.
how will our records be misused? are people hiding something?
its kinda like security at an airport. if you have nothing to hide then who cares, if you have something to hide then you are in trouble..
its the same principle here.
all i said was that they are invading your privacy either or.

And that's exactly the mistake us made. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent on a war that has no ending in sight. A war that shouldn't have begun in the first place. A war of supposedly Sudam Hussien having nuclear weapons....

you guys probabaly get your kicks by watching the left wing crap that msnbc and cnn report which is also half the truth. The Bush Administration has made this country safer. They are only doing the same thing FDR was doing aftger WWII when he has all telegrams in the us screened
Whose talking about watching CNN or MSNBC? I don't listen to what the American media has to say period. There all half truths. Bush Administration has made the country safer? How so? So safe they knew there was going to be a terriost attack and didn't do crap about it? WWII was about what? thanks i believe since you brought it up you can answer that on your own. Which again it isn't the same. The first month...

if there is no wrongdoing on our part then we have nothing to worry about..
lol. good point with Osama. lol.
you know USA's intellegence is horrible.
nextel18 said:
if USA actually had good intellegence then maybe they would find him but they dont..
Whick is why it's OK for the government to track us. They're incompetence in capturing the REAL terrorists will be inogred, while slowly but surely they take our rights.
Look, I live a boring life and I can sit and not worry about the government coming after me, but I'm not.
There's a reason why we have the 4th amendment.
There's a reason why the government needs a warrent the spy on people domestically (there isn't a judge in this country that would refuse such a request if it's for terrorism).
There's a reason why we have the stored communications act.

nextel18 said:
but, what are we hiding if people will hide the telephone numbers? we already give away more information such as financial and others so who cares if they have our calls?
That's because corporations and private parties are not bound by Constitutional restraints. If you buy something from
them, they don't need a warrant to let the government know what you're buying. A phone call is differnet. It's considered private and it is protected by the 4th amendent.
If the government needs this info so badly, why couldn't they just get a warrant?
we have no privacies now so it doesnt make a differnce especially when we are in war. (and we are)
i say if you have nothing to hide then let them, if you have something to hide people then thats their problem.
So it's okay for me to circumvent the law, when it takes too long to do something. Give me a break.
we have no privacies now so it doesn't make a difference especially when we are in war. (and we are)
Yup, just like when we put innocent Japanese-American civilians into interment camps, because they didn't trust them. Guess what Nextel18, just because we are at war DOES NOT give the government the right to do what it wants. I'm sure that's exactly how our founding fathers envisioned this government.
i say if you have nothing to hide then let them, if you have something to hide peoplhen e then thats their problem.
That's not the point. THE GOVERNMENT...
(continues)
gov is allowed to protect people and if that includes what they are doing now then so be it- if you dont like it, leave the country or just comply becuase you have nothing to hide.
nextel18 said:
wow, you seem very testy and hiding something yourself.

Now I know all the conspiracy theorists making the documentaries on IFC about some guy in London picked up in the middle of the night and left in a prison for two years, blah blah blah. They must have confused him with the professor in Florida....

Precisely, those people were rounded up by raids done on training camps, terrorist bases, etc. Not the local 7-11 down the road or the dry-cleaners and brought to Texas and made to wash clothes. Wait a minute, I think I'm generalising too much with my examples. Pardon the semi-racist sentiment, but: I'm not saying the GOV is trying to convince you this is necessary but it's gonna' get done.

I agree there. But we were the ones who engaged in this war and personally I think we're going after the wrong people. I don't know, but if they can spy so well on us why can't they do so to track Osama? 🤣
Because Osama didn't do it.

Let me guess, you haven't looked into 9/11 at all, have you. Well, do yourself a favor and check out this:
www.universalseed.org
9/11 aside, and even if there were "Islamic terrorists," why do you see it as okay for them to illegally listen to you? There are legal ways of doing it, and if that doesn't work, they should make it law. If they can't do it through the legitimate means, it means they are doing it in a way that would be looked at as wrong. Nothing to hide? That all sounds fine, but what next? First we hear that they are tapping our phone, but on international calls. Now we are hearing that they are actually doi...
(continues)
as i keep saying.. if you have nothing to hide then just comply, it will make this country safer..
Let me ask you something, did you know that a third building collapsed at the WTC that day?
Have you read up on 9/11? I've been researching it for two years, and it's scary what I have found.
There was no plane at the Pentagon, if you can find one, let me know.
There was no plane in Shanksville, PA.
The WTC was brought down by controlled demolition, as was WTC7, which nobody likes to talk about.
Check out www.universalseed.org
It has a lot of videos on there, and I realize your work computer probably isn't the best place to watch them, so when you get a chance, check them out. Loose Change is the best one...but all are good.
Also, check out Steven Jones' paper detailing how the molten metal found in the rubble of the towers could on have been caused by an explosive, such as thermite. His paper can be found here:

funny the stuff that we need to know is stuff that is mostly made up now they are trying to backpedal and cover their rears now that a lot more has been discovered.
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/hijackers.html »
That's right, at least 7 of the hijackers are alive. Now, I don't know about you, but I find it hard to believe that they could crash a plane somewhere, have the plane dissapear, then show up on the other side of the world weeks later saying, "I'm here! Why is everybody blaming me for these attacks?!"
Again, do the research yourself...I'm just trying to spread the word. We've been lied to.
so your theory is that the government caused these 911 attacks and caused this country to lose $100s of billions (maybe even a trillion) of dollars? come on.
Did you even look at the sources for those documents? Did you even look at the rest of that site? You are just another sheep...grazing away as your shepard slowly takes more and more of your pasture away. There is no point in arguing with you...I just presented you will damning evidence and all you can come up with is, "Don't believe what you read on the internet..."
The internet is a safer source than TV...and until you wake up to the truth...you are just another drone...
God help us... 😳
name calling? aww. someone is frustrated.
I am frustrated...I thought you would be more open to the truth. I have always respected you on this forum...
If you don't want to do the research, then you will never listen...
Look at www.911research.com and decide for yourself...millions have woken up to the truth...will you?
as i said before, why would the gov cause such a devistating blow to this economy by making up the events of 911?
What I am saying is that they faked the Pentagon crash and the one in Shanksville. Don't believe me? Look at the pictures and videos from that day, if you can find a plane, I've heard there is a reward for you. Do a search for "Spot the Boeing" and you will find a website that does just that...if you can find a plane, I think they have prize money for you.
Now, why would they do it? How else would they gain public support for invading Iraq? We have seen that Iraw had nothing to do with terrorists, and Saddam, while being a dick, had nothing to do with Al CIAda.
Before 9/11, nobody would have gone for a w...
(continues)
anyway, i am talking about the whole attacks on 911.
you still didnt answer my questions..
saddam said he had WMDS and they attacked.. it is kinda that simple.. next is iran..
you read too much of bias information.
Even if we did find them...it's the ones we SOLD TO THEM!!!
No, you just listen to the mainstream media too much...
Do the research yourself...then email me:

Do you know how many people have died since we invaded them?!

(As long as I don't get tied up, or tortured, or bombed, or shot....)
But, I personally don't care who listens to what I have to say. As one person said, I live a very boring life. If they were listening in on my conversations, all they would hear is what I need from the store, telling my mom how I am, and complaining to my husband about how dirty the house is... BUT, if you are going to listen in on my conversations, you better do it legally! If I can't listen on the line while my husband is on the phone with a rude telemarketer or what-have-you without having first announce my presence, why in the world does the government think that they can just tap in on my phone calls whenever they feel like it?

yep.. i am serious..
as i keep saying.. if you have nothing to hide then just comply, it will make this country safer..
You know another counties like China, N. Korea, and Iran have these policies Nextel18 keeps saying. So I guess we're just following the leader.
The government is not a corporation, Nextel18 just stfu and gbtw.
you seem to be angry at a very simple idea that protects the American people. perhaps you dont care, but i do.
How long has to "Terror Alert" been ELEVATED?
And how many attacks have there been on the US?
There was one in London, which btw, they just denied an investigation of it, claiming they need to focus more on preventing another attack, rather than finding out the truth about the attack that did happen. Again, just like 9/11, they blame it on gross incompetence, yet nobody is fired. 🙄
that is why there are these things in place among other intellegence things to protect us and that is why we are spending $100s of billions on this war on terror and will continue until the terrorists are gone.
as i keep saying, as soon as there was war declared on terrorism, we now have no freedom.
i dont see what the big deal is unless you are hiding something..
I am angry. Angry that 3,000 people died and this government uses it as an excuse to delete our freedoms. 👿
Angry that this adminstration used false info to justify a war in Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9/11. 👿
Angry that anytime someone dares to question the government, your labeled a terrorist or your unpatriotic cause you dare question the leader. 👿
Angry that this adminstration continually covers up Saudi Arabia, despite the fact 19 O...
(continues)
you have nothing to hide, then put the information.. (seems like you do)
i actually dont think it raises any concerns what so ever becuase as i keep on saying, if it protects us then who cares.. if they do it legally or not, they still will do it, no one will challenge it, but it will keep us safe.
They couldn't give a damn about us! Here we are, occupying one of the biggest oil producing countries in the world...yet we are now pushing over $3 a gallon now. Isn't that a bit suspicious? They pay $1, we pay $3...hmmmmm.
you want to debate oil with me? lol.
do you know why oil is where it is?
1. infrastructure and refinerie problems..
its that simple
we have ample supply especially if we need to tap into the alaska areas as well as our SPR. the only problem is the lack of refinery infrasructure.
do you understand?
As far as oil goes...yes, there is plenty of oil in Alaska and Canada...but there is no reason for us to be paying soooo much when we have so much at our hands...
But oil aside...we are talking about how we were lied to...
Again, look at the sites I have shown to you...then talk to me...have you even looked at 911research?
you keep changing the subject from oil to 911..
you have no idea how oil supply and demand works.. please dont say such stupidity..
next. with 911 you didnt answer my question regarding that either..
if you cant; perhaps we should end the debate..
The moment that someone does not agree with the government, you are labeled a terrorist. We really need to focus our energy as a governemt on finding the people who are a threat to the country. And they need to make the "...

that is all i care about.
As long as you feel a bit safer from the boogeyman terrorists, it's okay? What about the ID cards they plan on implementing? Will you feel safer when you no longer have cash, but rather everything you do is recorded? Will you feel safe when police ask, "Citizen, ID, please." "Where are you going? What for? When?"
Oh, wait...that's how it is now... 😲
I'll quote Ben Franklin now...
"Those who would give up essential liberty for a little temporary security deserve neither."

A quote from one of the most influential Americans ever and one that helped found this country:
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety"
-- Benjamin Franklin
-- Benjamin Franklin
One of the things this country was founded upon was that the government has no right to go invading our lives. If they want to wiretap people and get this type of information it would take them a couple of hours to go to a judge and request a warrant. It is that simple, it needs to be done legally and this certainly does not fall under a category that would be considered legal.

When it comes to the wiretapping, that should of never been leaked I think that the reporters that posted the story should be charged with treason, because its a security breech to the country. All that does is give away a stragety that we use to fight terror. The goverment was not tapping everyones lines just the lines that "suspected" terriost were connected to.
