THE REAL TARGET OF FISA

"...FISA campaign a waste of time--given that the US security state already gets the info they want through a variety of channels.

And Greenwald will act totally suprised and outraged when it comes out that the US government is focusing on

• leftists,

• stalwart environmentalists,

• indigenous rights activists,

• socialist, etc.

instead of Islamic 'terrorists'. A cursory review of US history in the past hundred years would inform anyone that the consistent target of the security state are democratically minded insurgents on the left of the spectrum.

I even take it as a given that they moniter this website on a regular basis. Why would I expect anything different than this in a country where the plutocratic elites jealously guard their power?"
