President Biden has signed legislation to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act despite years of protest from rights groups and privacy experts who say the law is routinely used to conduct warrantless surveillance on millions of American citizens. The Senate approved the FISA bill on Friday in a 60-34 vote, and critics say it not only reauthorizes domestic spying but also dramatically expands its scope. "It's an enormous amount of data that they're collecting and very few rules" limiting its collection, says investigative journalist James Bamford. He warns that personal information collected by U.S. intelligence is also shared with Israel, which uses the data to target people in Gaza. "The U.S. has got to stop supplying all this data and the targeting materials," he says. Bamford's new article for The Nation is headlined "The NSA Wants Carte Blanche for Warrantless Surveillance."

Everything we allow to happen in Gaza/West Bank/Jerusalem will come back to haunt us because what happens in Palestine does not stay in Palestine. Palestine is only the laboratory.
Back door. All under the guise of doing the right thing ‘over there with others’ will come back ( immediately) to use that control to bear on us.
@@Gotprivacy-noyoudontit’s not even the “right thing” over there!
Absolutely I totally agree
So true. “They” love their social experiments. It’s terrifying to imagine what their desired outcomes are 😬
The American empire is coming up on its downfall or major leadership change … just like every other empire’s shift in power and world view/position shifts in a 200-250 year cycle. What happens next though?? 😬
I've been telling people for years that what they do to the Palestinians, they will do to us.
This is disgusting and undemocratic!
IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND THEY ALL MUST BE FOUGHT
So, the system is working as it was designed.
But our governments preach democracy and even send soldiers to wars to defend that. And we vote for them.
🎯
Disgusting? maybe.
Undemocratic? Anything but. What's undemocratic is to physically attack the certification of an election. This is just your leaders working with the power that you gave them.
After seeing what Israel has done to civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, this act must be stopped.
What about the comments being censored? Students being arrested.
Already passed
This is not a liberal or conservative issue. It is an American issue. It is a Constitutional issue. NSA is probably full of patriotic people with totalitarian tendencies. They must be made to abide by the restraints of the Constitution in order for our rights to be secure.
"The founders!" they cry. The founders were primitives who weren't even able to conceive of our modern world. This is just more proof of that. Can you imagine Ben Franklin being arrested for what's on his harddrive? he would be, in the year 2024.
Don't count on any of these people to be loyal to he Constitution. Their loyalty is to their paymasters.

Democracy died a long time ago.Hello dictatorship?;
Have you ever experienced democracy or the USA and the collective west just lip services democracy to use it to their weaked advantage ?
This should terrify us all!!!!
Human Rights it has taken man decades to achieve may be taken away!!
Please email or write to your government representative to demand that this latest F.I.S.A. Extension bill be rejected!!

Thank you Amy and James bamford for bringing this to my attention. Every American should see this .
I likeAmy Goodman;she is a good reporter;
Everyone needs to throw away their wifi and cellphones . Start writing letters again, stamps are cheap .
How did you post your comment? ☺
Still a good idea. I know we've been convinced we xant live outside of their web. What do you think,though?@MendeMaria-ej8bf
In Britain, stamps have just got expensive and the "Royal Mail" has been almost destroyed by government and media and crooked management. It must be connected, control communication, control the world.
The involvement of US in Israel’s crimes is shameful and so illegal. Providing information about its citizens to a foreign government is appalling
Tax money wasted by this administration The world must stop Netanyanu or he will fall from grace. Zahunistes want to destroy Israel and the US economy politically and diplomatically and support weapons factories. The whole world has failed to implement the ceasefire in GAZA, the UN Security Council fails, the International Court of Justice fails, including Biden after so many appeals to Israel, The international community must immediately suspend all relations with ISRAEL Israel does not show truths inflation The United States and Israel do not have a Mutual Defense Treaty. Americans are not obligated to go to war. Israel or the Zahunists continue with the genocide. The world cannot accept 35,000 deaths, women, children, 98,750 injuries and destruction of churches, mosques and total infrastructure for Palestinians. countries that are next door are a shame about 100,000 people
Im so disheartened by usa in this.
Our mutual leaders are working 24-7 to turn the United States into a Gaza strip.
Bingo

FREE EDWARD SNOWDEN!! FREE JULIAN ASSANGE!! USA IS GUILTY OF COMPLICITY IN THE EXTERMINATION OF THE INDIGINOUS PALESTINIAN PEOPLES......BE VERY CAREFUL WHO YOU VOTE FOR!!
Aaaaa......bravo....you got it 👍
This is beyond gross.
Biden really trying hard to prevent his reelection.
Every American joining any branch of military, government office or agency has a duty to oppose criminal malfeasance in their own heirarchy. As automation makes seemingly obsolete, entire professional trades. We need humans, acting from human interest, like Snowden, and Assange, who said nope to warrantless intrusion.
I am solidly opposed to all of these policies. FISA, military spending on Israel and Ukrainian proxy war. WTF!
What about our border?
Big brother IS watching you, how Orwellian.
THEY ALREADY KNOW THEY ARE MY ENEMIES AND SWORN ENEMIES OF AMERICANS AND THE WORLD. THESE GLOBALISTS ARE NAZIS
Bottom line US is complicit in genocide ...we are aware of this fact long ago, thanks for the gentleman who is shedding light on this subject, hopefully he won't become target for assasination

So if I thumbs up your comment will I be on some list??😳🇺🇸
There is a video about a certain "enemy of the state" in which he explains this is happening and how a secret agency tortures people who don't fall into line.
Is there any law that Israel doesn't violate?
They plead remember the 6 million while they step on your throat
They don't even abide by traffic laws. 😂
@@zoubeirfaouzi149 That's the least violation. We could tolerate this sort more easily. ❤

Jesus was treated as a terrorist-blood on their hands is the was they operate.
Those people are trying to take him away. In other words denying his existence because of their involvement with it and making it illegal to voice that opinion. The old adage whoever wins writes the history.
When will those who push this bill be investigated?
By who?
Yeah by who ?? They're the ones in power , duhhh.
@@Ancientlunatic The people should demand it, but the people are asleep...Sigh
I think they always could listen but now they can record. That's a little bit more intense.
Next you'll have ai generated conversations to incriminate people the government wants to silence
THE BIG SHAME OF THE USA IS JUST WHAT EDWARD SNOWDEN BROUGHT FORWARD FOR HIS LOVE OF HIS COUNTRY!! IF YOU SRE NOT FREE THEN THERE WILL BE A TIME NOBODY IS FREE!!:
This extrajudicial killing must be stopped.
terrifying
Illegal murder.. Should be investigated and always follow laws or you might as well bring the wild west back..
The future for mankind is very very bleak
Dangerous!!! Too much POWER given to the govt.
A government owned by Aipac.
Vote these people out!! Gop or dem. Who ever wants to take your freedoms away need to go!! Free julian assange ... FREE EDWARD SNOWDEN!!

Yet again, Israel given carte blanche to do whatever they want.
WTF IS GOING ON?!
Humanity must face the fact that there are three stages in Western societies/un civilization. 1) the conquering and genocide of the indigenous peoples land and culture. 2) setting up colonial governments, institutions and so called democracy. 3) The final stage, outright fascism.
I'll leave you with a poem from the book TRYIN TIMES from the Pyramids to the Projects:
DEMOCRACY
Who told you democracy is ruled by the people? Where does that electoral college come from? Who selects candidates before you elect candidates? Who said build that wall, do your research, Clinton started it. Who said deport those immigrants? Obama, while in office was known as "Deporter and Chief." This one says Republican, the other one says Democrat, they are two sides of the same coin. Who told you this was the best system? You only been taught about those other isms... Democracy on the brink of anarchy... Biden said "democracy is fragile"... how can something be fragile if it's built on solid foundation? Biden said "democracy is precious," to who? The answers are hiding in plain sight. Democracy and Demon have the first four letters in common. They must be rooted in the same, and precious to the demons that control this system.
This is outrageous!
US will never stop until it will be stopped
Time to leave America 🇺🇸
For where? There is more monitoring elsewhere.
Leaving won’t change much…especially not being able to hide one’s American identity which is being destroyed by our hostile, deceitful donor-bribed, government on the human destruction path with Israel for profit, land expansion, resource and power.
There are no surveillance borders. You can try Mars.

It makes no sense voting for this people who are causing harm to our country.

No. Nazi is short for Nazionaliste, which means nationalist. Only nationalists can be Nazis.

Finally someone said it.
The people in the US can't say that this law makes them criminals.
I hope they don't fall into the trap that was targeting them.
Lets say Israel is genociding innocent childeren,women and innocent men.
Slogans don't change anything.
Demonstrations, voting to right people and boycott work.
Thank you Democracy Now
Take away: There's no such thing as privacy of any kind anymore. Act accordingly.
In the past they did it illegally, now it will be legal and widespread… welcome to 1984!
This clip will be a great intro to any dystopian sci-fi movie
Superb interview!
I've never been a fan of these laws. Post 9/11 panic laws should have been left behind with the war on terror.
The war of Terror was committed by the Bush Administration. 9/11 was to preempt a war in the Middle East in order to place strategic initiatives there in order to steal anything the US Government could get their greedy hands on . Oil , Opium ...plus put bases there so they could kill more women & children. Afghanistan, Iraq , Iran . NSA / CIA etc . I love this country however our leaders since Bush Sr has turned into America the Evil . Sad 😢

All of the US local militarized police forces receive training from the Israelis. None of this over reach is at all surprising.
That's 2 way, it allows Israeli intelligence to assess the "cooperativeness" or otherwise if every police officer. They then know whose career to hinder.
Who told you this instagram? Why would Israelis have to train our local police? What kind of training? Drones you mean? I've heard 3 people say this on Instagram now and I know students from the middle east are really experienced because it's already been done to them.
What are militarized police forces?
Oh you're talking about THE FEDS AND SWAT!!! Lol
America is becoming what it always was
Thank you for your appreciated journalism. ❤
excellent interview by James Bamford insightful & analytical .
Now add to all this that Google, Meta, Amazon and MS employees stay less than 2 years on average in their companies and go the next and to the NSA and back and forth. The buildings of these companies and the NSA are very close so the employees can just change jobs without having to move.
Why are IAEA not investigating Israel? Do USA have an international legal duty to prevent Israel from acquiring nuclear weapons and declare knowledge? Why should Iran be treated differently?
According to my local phone company several years ago, the NSA records every phone call
Our internet traffic also goes through "dark rooms".
The dystopian works of fiction from our past has become our present and our future.
We live in the intersection of "1984", "Brave New World" & "Fahrenheit 451".
Enjoy.
More surveillance....terrifying
The Genie has escaped the bottle. Not yesterday, at the renewal of the law, but long ago at the passage of the law. It is appalling and frightening, and our American understanding of personal privacy has radically changed because of it. At least among those in my genetation, for whom civics was an itegral part of our education. That ended 50 years ago. People on subsequent generations, at least those in public primary and secondary schools, were denied this education, and it shows. Snowden and others had some success in forcing the Senate to act, but once loosed, there is no putting the genie back. I should note here, the that our country is under constant and ever increasing cyber attack. Many tens of thousands of attempts are made every day, by foreign entities to spy on corporations, individuals, defense entities (both contracted and government based) , academia, media and many more. Many US based foriegn operatives use ubiquitous forms of communication to send and receive inforation, and our protection against these threats is the NSA. I don't agree that American citizens should then, allow for the general collection of our communications as a cost we must bear for our saftey. I also dont agree that companies selling us all things we buy, should be legally able to amass our consumer info either. We can silve this problem, but to do so, we have to stand united in our opposition, voting in those who oppose, and getting out from under those who support these intrusions. Of course, that would mean theowing off identity based politics altogether, in favor of idea based politics. Imagine that. Americans voting like Americans were meant to vote.

What opportunities are there in the market, and how do I profit from it?
You can make a lot of money from the

I would really like to know how this actually works.
All you need is a good capital and the
service of a professional broker, with those your investment will most certainly produce high yields.

we're already in a surveillance state. hi, nsa!
Puts an AK in the hands of a child, great job ! It's all done by AI, i.e. adolescent with a bad temper, with no adult supervision. Worst nightmare comes true, why 33,000 dead in 6 months now we know these are intentional murders.
Ive never known the government to follow the law with or without a warrant
What are they so afraid of that they exponentially feel the need to have extreme surveillance against citizens? Perhaps those that feel the need to have such ridiculous control, have no real control to begin with.
Please continue giving "Code Pink" attention. They have over 5,000 lbs. of food and medicine for Gaza but they are stalled somewhere in Turkey or Greece because the U.S. will not allow them to bring in supplies.
The EU privacy Regulation (GDPR) 2016/ 679 would surely not permit this for Europe?
For now !!!!!
I'm Irish, we'd never allow it in Europe
Just Wait . All Organizations will follow suit . New World Order... remember. 😢
The EU tries to abolish end to end encrypted communication, so, I think they don't give a f about it as long as they profit from it too
Sure? EU - corrupt to the core, dependant on US policies
Thank you Senator Wyden for looking out for us!

"You Have 20"seconds To Comply...
And doctors ? This will compromise the medical files of doctors and their patients.
Not a doctor but a nurse, I think they would have to repeal the HIPAA act for this to be possible. It does seem a sticky situation though.
Why do you think there was a huge push to turn our paper medical records into Electronic health records (EHR’s)?
The government may access your electronic health records without a warrant at anytime if you are a suspect or victim.
The ACLU has some interesting information on their site regarding the loopholes in the HIIPA act they are using to access our personal information. For example;
Law enforcement disclosure powers
Q: Can the police get my medical information without a warrant?
A: Yes. The HIPAA rules provide a wide variety of circumstances under which medical information can be disclosed for law enforcement-related purposes without explicitly requiring a warrant.[iii] These circumstances include (1) law enforcement requests for information to identify or locate a suspect, fugitive, witness, or missing person (2) instances where there has been a crime committed on the premises of the covered entity, and (3) in a medical emergency in connection with a crime.[iv]
In other words, law enforcement is entitled to your records simply by asserting that you are a suspect or the victim of a crime.
Q: Can the government get access to my medical files through the USA Patriot Act?
A: Yes. Section 215 of the Patriot Act allows the FBI Director or his designee to get a court order under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act “requiring the production of any tangible things (including books, records, papers, documents, and other items) for an investigation to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities, provided that such investigation of a United States person is not conducted solely upon the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution.”[vii] This power appears to apply to medical records.
I cannot believe we even have to discuss this. We deserve what we get and more.
Horrifying developments!!! You / we are all next, after Gazzans.
Now you know how it feels?
Collecting that much info on people is insane. They want to play god
in 2011 a girl I wanted to date essentially cut the relationship off because I refused to get a cellphone or facebook and believed they were spy devices setup as dragnets by the NSA. Called me a crackpot weirdo and left. Never seen her again.

PHILOSOPHY
IF I DIE BEFORE I WAKE
Paul Teich©️11/1512023
A little girl may pray to God
But she counts on her mommy and daddy
So that she can think about Barbie dream homes, unicorns, and chocolate milk
And not wondering if she will make it through the night
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Is make pretend to a tender little girl
No matter what the religious leader say
Her parents are real
The little girl is her mother’s heart
She is her father’s soul
She annoys her brother and he her
To the sweetheart, Darling, little girl
The heart, the soul and the annoyance are real
When mommy goes away, and she says to the light of her life
Her older son crosses his arms and looms over discontent
Grown-ups come back, my joy and sweetness
And the little girl cries, and reaches out her arms and runs for the door
This is real to the little girl
When mommy comes back, that is real to the little girl
When mommy says hide in the bathroom, we don’t have a basement
They are dropping bombs
That is not real to the sweetness and light that is a little girl
When soldiers pull money from the bathroom and defile her
What is real to the little girl?
If I die before I wake
There will be no more bombs
If I die before I wake
The soldiers won’t be able to do to me what they did to mommy
If I die before I wake
Why should I pray the Lord my soul to take?
If he couldn’t save mommy
What is real to the little girl?
May the love in a little heart, be understood and real
May peace, loving poetry, save the world
😢😢😢 Heart wrenching, deep poem. Thank you for sharing this, may it help raise awareness. The murders of the innocents must stop.
Has there ever been any reason to believe that the NSA requests warrants to collect calls/emails and spy on US citizens when they're making "domestic" phone calls or sending emails to domestic destinations? Do the NSA, CIA also politely seek warrants when they want to blackmail or assassinate anyone of any nationality in the US or anywhere on earth? I think we can assume that they do whatever they want anywhere if they think they can get away with it. Has the NSA ever faced serious consequences for not seeking warrants!??
How many would-be whistle-blowers or truth-leak liabilities have died in mysterious "warrant-less" circumstances in the US?

Don't let these Democrats fool you.

We are living in a surveillance country next, we are going to be forced into social credit score.
If I had known something like this was going to happened, I would have retired in
Costa Rica. If a party runs on a platform that would elimate laws like this, they would have my vote. The way Democrats and Republics are going, a newly formed party whose program is prioritizing domestic programs would be welcomed by voters.
So this is how Democracy becomes safe and secure.
