Government merges closer with corporations to step up surveillance as US heads into total fascism
‘For a while after former NSA contractor Edward Snowden blew the whistle on the spy agency’s massive collection of personal data on tens of millions of Americans, it appeared as though there might be some genuine reform of how the intelligence community operates.
In August 2013, weeks after Snowden first revealed the existence of the NSA’s “Prism” spy program, several lawmakers called for reforms in the way the agency does its business. The calls came on the heels of a government report which found that the agency broke a substantial number of its own rules in conducting the domestic surveillance, a violation of its founding mandate.
“Press reports that the National Security Agency broke privacy rules thousands of times per year and reportedly sought to shield required disclosure of privacy violations are extremely disturbing,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said, according to The Washington Post.’
