FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
An amendment introduced to the controversial CISPA bill
by perennial big government advocate Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee would
empower the Department of Homeland Security to intercept online IRS tax
returns and any other Internet traffic deemed to transit networks owned
by the federal government or operated on its behalf. ~ Paul Joseph Watson
“Jackson Lee’s amendment (PDF)
is broad enough to sweep in government contractors and university
networks such as Internet2 and CENIC, said a telecommunications attorney
who did not want to be identified because of client sensitivity. It
also appears to cover open Wi-Fi networks run by federal agencies and
networks in government-provided housing,” reports CNet’s Declan McCullagh.
Not only would the amendment give Big Sis the power to
monitor all government networks, it could also, according to McCullagh
and Ryan Radia, associate director of technology studies at the
Competitive Enterprise Institute, “allow Homeland Security to monitor
the communications of the federal courts and Congress, and intercept tax
returns sent to the IRS.”
Given the fact that the Department of Homeland Security has already identified all kinds of mundane behavior as “suspicious activity” possibly
indicative of terrorism, the prospect of the federal agency trawling
through Americans’ 1040 forms is nothing less than chilling.
The CISPA bill has already come under attack from all
sides of the political spectrum because it states that “notwithstanding
any other provision of law,” companies may share information with the
government, demolishing fourth amendment privacy protections.
Earlier this week Congressman Ron Paul slammed the legislation as
a “Big Brother writ,” writing, “CISPA is essentially an Internet
monitoring bill that permits both the federal government and private
companies to view your private online communications with no judicial
oversight, provided, of course, that they do so in the name of cyber
security.”
Targeting Americans for spying and punitive measures
through their relationship with the IRS has been a common theme in
recent weeks, with a separate bill, the ‘Moving Ahead for congress in the
21st Century Act’ (MAP-21), giving the IRS the power to revoke passports of Americans merely accused of owing $50,000 or more in back taxes.
Texas Democrat Jackson Lee has aggressively pushed for
extra powers for the DHS on a number of different fronts, most recently
when she promoted a program that places TSA agents on Houston busesas undercover spies tasked with interrogating passengers and searching bags.
Jackson-Lee also savaged a newly passed law that enables
airports to evict TSA screeners and replace them with private
security, ludicrously claiming that such changes would cause a new 9/11-style attack.
Jackson-Lee’s amendment will be debated during a House
floor hearing tomorrow, with the full CISPA bill expected to face a vote
on Friday amidst a crescendo of vocal opposition.
