  What the Heck Happened to America?
  Senior NSA executive Thomas Drake is an expert on spying in Stasi Germany … having studied it for years. Drake told Washington’s Blog that the U.S. has adopted the Stasi model:
  –
  “Collect it all, know it all” [the NSA’s model] is actually the Stasi model. It’s not just know everything; we have to be able to keep everything that we want to know, even if we don’t know it yet.
  –
  It’s a collect it all first mentality … and then we’ll get to know it all. I call it “feeding the beast”.
  –
  I keep shuddering because I’m intimately familiar with the East German surveillance state mentality.
  –
  A lieutenant colonel for the Stasi East German’s – based upon his experience – agrees. And German Chancellor Angela Merkel – who grew up in Stasi Germany – says the NSA is exactly the same. Top American constitutional experts also say that the Obama and Bush administration are worse than the Stasi East Germans.
  –
  Senior NSA official Bill Binney – the senior technical director within the agency who headed NSA’s global digital data gathering program and managed thousands of NSA employees – is an expert on Soviet spying.
  –
  Binney spent decades studying – and trying to counter – the repressive Soviet program of mass surveillance. Binney says that – after 9/11 – America implemented the same type of system used by the Soviets and other authoritarian regimes:
  –
  You’ve got the NSA doing all this collecting of material on all of its citizens – that’s what the SS, the Gestapo, the Stasi, the KGB, and the NKVD did.
  –
  Postscript:  Unfortunately, it’s not just spying …
  –
  In the decade after 9/11, the U.S. used specialized communist torture techniques specifically aimed at extracting  false  confessions.
  –
  Under Obama, whistleblowers and dissidents are treated as ruthlessly as in the Soviet Union.
  –
  When bad government policy leads to bad results, the U.S. government does what the Soviets did: manipulate the data. The Soviets had Pravda … similarly, propaganda is now being used within the U.S.  The U.S. government pumps out massive amounts of propaganda through the mainstream and “gatekeeper” alternative media,movies, video games, and other venues.
  –
  And the American economy has gone from capitalism to socialism … at least for the fatcats. What the heck happened to American ideals?
