FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda According to available statistics, the number of spying warrants in the US jumped to 30,000 in 2006 which was more than all the warrants that had been issued for that purpose since 1979.
“We have seen this explosive growth…. It is none of the government’s business what it is we are saying in terms of the strategies we are planning unless we are engaged in planning illegal violent conduct; and we are not,” Ron Kuby, a US civil rights attorney told Press TV.
According to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which was established in 1979, a three-judge panel should decide if the government’s requests to spy are valid or not. However, published records say the court apparently trusts law enforcement and rarely rejects a request.
“The founding fathers that we admire so much… did not trust the police. They created the Constitution precisely because they did not trust this kind of authority,” Kuby noted.
Muslim Americans and residents are the main targets of spy warrants but non-Muslims and political groups are also becoming common subjects of such warrants.
Communications through regular phones, cellphones, computers, and even conversations in the privacy of homes are covered under the so called warrants.
Thomas Ruskin, a US security consultant, believes that the growth of technology will likely guarantee more spying warrants.
“If you are following somebody and you are up on a wire and that person then starts to speak to someone else… [who is] of significance or suspicious, you then have to get a warrant to go onto their phone [calls] … and email account [communications],” Ruskin said.
Critics warn that the recent signing of the National Defense Authorization Act by the US president Barack Obama will expand the use of the warrants and expose more Americans to microphones and cameras in the near future.
