'Terrifying’ New FISA Bill Will Solidify America Becoming A Full-Scale Police State


'Terrifying’ New FISA Bill Will Solidify America Becoming A Full-Scale Police State
Stefan Stanford


Just days ago, we republished this story on ANP titled "With America's 'Political Class' Engaging In Indefensible Criminality & In Cahoots With A Foreign Criminal Class, Respect For The Rule Of Law Vanishes Quickly" within which we warned America was quickly heading into a truly 'revolutionary' period due largely to our full-scale gallop into tyranny and the fact that the American people, people who own 500 million+ guns, won't accept said tyranny, nor should we ever. 

Warning within that story that what we were witnessing was a kind of 'Robin Hood effect,' a time when 'outlaws' have more honor than government, and that in such times, paradigms come crashing down, we see more evidence of our public servants in Washington DC quite literally waging war upon the American people in a must read series of tweets from Elizabeth Goitein, Co-director of the left-leaning Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, tweets which NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden called the most important thread you will read this year. 

With Goitein and Snowden warning of what they call a 'Terrifying’ new FISA Bill that would only solidify America becoming a full-scale police state under Joe Biden and the very real crime cabal that occupies Washington DC right now, forcing businesses and websites such as All News Pipeline to become NSA spies as long as they host any kind of communications, which we clearly do with people using our story comment sections to communicate, as Ethan Huff warns in this new story, we're witnessing nothing less than the United States government once again trying to turn the American people against one another with a new "Everyone is a spy" surveillance bill that is being quietly ushered through Congress. Briefly, from this story.

The Senate is set to vote on the FISA reauthorization bill that includes a provision forcing any company or individual that provides ANY communications service to become a pawn of the National Security Agency’s surveillance grid. 

The Section 702 provision of the FISA renewal bill requires any company that hosts any form of communication service tosurrender surveillance data to the NSA under a gag order if compelled by the agency. 

“Buried in the Section 702 reauthorization bill (RISAA) passed by the House on Friday is the biggest expansion of domestic surveillance since the Patriot Act. Senator [Ron] Wyden calls this power ‘terrifying,’ and he’s right,” wrote Elizabeth Goitein, Co-director of the left-leaning Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice on X Monday.

With Goitein warning also that “None of these people or businesses would be allowed to tell anyone about the assistance they were compelled to provide. They would be under a gag order, and they would face heavy penalties if they failed to comply with it,” it's easy for me to say that I'd rather be an 'outlaw' under such circumstances than 'aiding and abetting' what our government has turned into over the past several decades, a very real terrorist organization waging war upon the American people. 

As Senator Ron Wyden also tweeted of the bill, "This bill represents one of the most dramatic and terrifying expansions of government surveillance authority in history." 


"That sweeps in an enormous range of U.S. businesses that provide wifi to their customers and therefore have access to equipment on which communications transit. Barber shops, laundromats, fitness centers, hardware stores, dentist's offices ... the list goes on and on." 

Commercial landlords that rent out office spaces where tens of millions of Americans go every day to work would also be swept into the NSA snitching pipeline via the new amendment. 

While some entities would be exempt – hotels, libraries and coffee shops, to name a few – the vast majority would not, meaning just about every American business could be probed by the NSA to share confidential communications information on demand.
