1984 Has Arrived

Imagine a facility that measures 100,000 sq. ft. for which the sole purpose is to store all of the information about each and every one of us in the country. That Orwellian place actually exists. It is the Utah Data Center and is expected to be operational in September 2013.  The data being collected  includes bank cards, credit cards, contents of private emails, cell phones, Google searches, social media and more. This collection of data began right after 9/11/01 under Bush and has been expanded under Obama.

In a chilling episode of "For the Record" produced by TheBlaze TV, NSA whistleblowers come forward to tell their stories of how the government has been subverting the Constitution. Host Laurie Dhue tells Glenn Beck, Executive Producer of the special,  "what we learn in this is that the protagonist is a guy named Thomas Drake and he says after 9/11 we became a foreign nation basically for the purposes of vast dragnet electronic surveillance. He wanted to blow the whistle here. He approached General Hayden, who was then running the NSA, and said ‘Do you have a warrant for this stuff?’ Because he knew that what was going on was in direct violation of the Constitution. Direct violation of the fourth and Fifth Amendment."

"And General Hayden admitted this surveillance was being done without a warrant. But that wasn’t the end of it. Thomas Drake decided to blow the whistle on the corruption and the fraud and the waste and abuse in the NSA. And guess what happened? He was indicted on 10 felony counts under the Espionage Act. He ended up vindicated.”
