Trump vs. the Deep State
If there had been any doubt that the land of the free and home of the brave is now a totalitarian society, the revelations that its Chief Executive Officer has been spied upon while campaigning for that office and during his brief tenure as president should now be allayed.

President Trump joins the very crowded list of opponents of the American State which includes the Tea Party, tax resistors, non-interventionists, immigration opponents, traditional family advocates, and a host of others who have been spied upon, persecuted and badgered by federal “intelligence” authorities.
While Congress conducted some feeble hearings and investigations of the shenanigans of the US spy agencies during the interminable Obummer Administration, no real action or reform was taken to reign in the eavesdropping and spying by the national security state on American citizens.
Hopefully, the surveillance of President Trump will change his outlook on the US “intelligence community” especially in regard to those courageous souls who have spoken out and risked life and limb to alert the public about their rulers’ nefarious activities.

Julian Assange looks out from his window at the Ecuadoran embassy in London (the window could use a spot of renovation by the way). He has also become a kind of digital ghost and surely he deserves better. The citizenry at large has to thank him for providing it with revealing peeks behind the curtain and allowing to obtain a better understanding of the true nature of the State (as depressing as it may be).

Ubiquitous Surveillance State
Not only has candidate and President Trump been monitored, but just about every American citizen is under surveillance, the data of which can be used against them at the appropriate time if and when they should challenge the American Leviathan.
NSA whistleblower William Binney confirmed what has been long known in government circles and by those Americans awake …read more
