Ethan Huff – Natural News Apr 16, 2024
The United States government is 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.
While everyone has been focused on the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Gaza wars, the U.S. Congress is actively working towards turning the country into a full-fledge surveillance state.
The legislation in question, which is buried deeply within Section 702 of the reauthorization bill (RISAA) currently before the House, is described as “the biggest expansion of domestic surveillance since the Patriot Act.”
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) called the bill “terrifying,” promising to do everything he can to stop it from being passed. Demand Progress has also created a portal through which you can contact your representatives and tell them to VOTE NO on this highly invasive new law.
“This bill represents one of the most dramatic and terrifying expansions of government surveillance authority in history,” Wyden tweeted along with the official tally showing that the House just voted 273-147 to extend FISA Section 702’s surveillance powers for another two years.
“I will do everything in my power to stop it from passing in the Senate.”

When everyone becomes a snitch
As explained by Elizabeth Goitein on X, current law allows the U.S. government to compel “electronic communications service providers” with direct access to people’s communications to assist the National Security Agency (NSA) in spying on the American people.
“In practice, that means companies like Verizon and Google must turn over the communications of the targets of Section 702 surveillance,” Goitein writes. “(The targets must be foreigners overseas, although the communications can – and do – include communications with Americans.)”
The new law would change the definition of “electronic communications surveillance provider” via an amendment to vastly expand what Goitein describes as “the universe of entities that can be compelled to assist the NSA.”
“If the bill becomes law, any company or individual that provides ANY service whatsoever may be forced to assist in NSA surveillance, as long as they have access to equipment on which communications are transmitted or stored – such as routers, servers, cell towers, etc.,” Goitein explains.
“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.
“The amendment even extends to service providers who come into our homes,” Goitein further explains. “House cleaners, plumbers, people performing repairs and IT services providers have access to laptops and routers inside our homes and could be forced to serve as surrogate spies.”
“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.”
Be sure to take the time to contact Congress to oppose this new amendment before it is too late!

Okay, not read, no time.
Think about all the sites, all business sites that have Google, Facefuck and the rest built in. Even if you don’t use these links in the site, they get all your data.
Virtually all online businesses spy for the Nazis. The other day I heard that one third of the FBIs budget is spent on precrime, which is a catchy name for knowing what everyone is planing to do. It could be a crime, it could be anything.
Let’s say the Nazis knew 2 million were planning to protest in London. They could organise all sorts of events to thwart them. Rail breakdowns, motorway accidents, fake terror threats, even terrible weather.
Everyone want to empty their bank accounts, well, they would preempt this.
There’s no freedom, no one is waking up, there’s only Nazi tyranny. The horse left the stable years ago.
Yes..Yes… go out and ‘vote’…
hehe…”govern me harder Daddy!..govern me harder!”..
With a suspended Constitution Congress has zero powers, Military are in control.
It’s a movie, the best ever ..
After visiting Bolshevik Russia in 1920, Bertrand Russell wrote to Lady Ottoline Morrell: “Bolshevism is a closed tyrannical bureaucracy, with a spy system more elaborate and terrible than the Tsar’s, and an aristocracy as insolent and unfeeling, composed of Americanized Jews. No vestige of liberty remains, in thought or speech or action.” (The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell, paperback ed. 354)
“U.S. businesses to be forced to serve as NSA spies”
Earth to Ethan Huff, earth to Ethan Huff… businesses and corporations already act as governmental spies and spooks; where the hell have you been?
The link that is provided to alert our ‘representative’ to lobby/vote against this bill could be the first place the communists (with masked faces) would seize to identify dissenters…
On the subject of spies, I came across this today:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Reilly
“Sidney Reilly” aka the “Ace of Spies” aka Sigmund Georgjevich Rosenblum
Interesting…
My understanding is that since government is made up of corporation sponsored individuals anyway, spies while traditionally thought of as employees e.g. civil servants, of governments are in fact corporate based in any case – maybe with the “veneer” of corporate cover. Consequently, we are sold the notion of government working through such operations — e.g. James Bond — when it is actually these operations that actually run the government. I recall reading the spying apparatus of the Rockefeller organisation was the basis of American intelligence. This kind of synergy is called “fascism” if your own empire is defeated by the winning one. “Government” thus becomes no more than a holding company for international capital.
And so, “Tell your representatives to vote NO on massive expansion of domestic surveillance state – U.S. businesses to be forced to serve as NSA spies”, seems like another pointless posturing to go along with the umpteenth article on Biden being senile or Trump being a limited hangout. This is just more swimming in the shallow end of the echo chamber.

@ Simon..
The spooks along with academia, which of course is full of spooks and always has been, are what could be termed the ‘newe’ post modern lower nobility (five eyes,service scientisms, quaks of all colours, AI imbeciles etc) ..servicing the corporate aristocrats…(autocratic technocratic overlords or billionaire bankers/ spoilt brats).. in the soon to be new very shitty city states…
in other words… corporate feudalism..as defined many decades ago in Quigley’s books…and sherpa’d away at…until here we are…nowheresville..
..Don’t expect these imbeciles to actually come up with anything vaguely original..which of course is symptomatic of the death of vaguely civil society… and it’s replacement with a Death Cult..Thanatos and of course Eros….but simply cover for becoming, soon to be, very very extinct…
the so called ‘merchants’ having run out of the ‘Goods’..to carry on…hehe..
Lerch – Exactly , govts. and corporations have been working hand in glove for decades to harvest data and spy on us.
NB: Rockefeller and his cohorts, once they had established themselves with all the money Rothschild gave them, were acutely aware that the so called ‘consumer’ society and American Dream/Nightmare post modern theme park..was merely a stepping stone in their plan to kill off their hated enemy..
.. which was of course, the common sensible prole..or white male…who may one day sensibly seek retribution for all of their impositions…
…and set about sharpish to use all the tools at their disposal..which of course was the ingenuity of the common sensible prole… to destroy as many of the common sensible proles as was Devilishly possible…and eventually replace him with a machine..just like them…
… which of course the common prole created as well, due to the fact that most rich men are as dumb as a brick in the practical whirled…which is all very talmudic.. and unsurprisingly so when you look at the cast of reprobates over the years…and as noted, also incredibly fucking stupid..unsurprisingly…
…akin to lopping off your own head..if you have a headache…but then again what can one expect from imbeciles of such epic proportion.. well..pretty much the society you have…
