National Security Letters have been used by many Presidents for a long time. Most often they are used as intended. A tool that will help the President guard the safety of the people of the United States. That has not always been the case, but it has been the norm.
There appears to be a new twist added by the current administration though. That being the broad brush approach to diverse groups of people from varied backgrounds that support or oppose various issues and causes. It’s not just the Libertarians being painted into this picture anymore. It’s a pretty large slice of the American pie. I first saw something about this a day or so ago, and was thinking about posting about it with commentary; however, Tracy at No Compromise, as usual, beat me to it. Read on…
The American government is officially out of control, and has murdered the Constitution! We the People have aided in this killing, and it didn’t start with Faux-bama at the helm.
This slow crawl to utter control of us consumers (notice I said consumers, and not Citizens, that’s another post for sure) has been going on for a very long time, and the only reason we see it more clearly right now is because American Citizens are using technology to expose the destruction of the Constitution and our self-sovereignty!
I posted the Fourth Amendment to remind you of your self-sovereignty, natural Rights and show you first hand with a contrast to our beloved Constitution what the federal government is doing to take away our un-a-LIEN-able natural, non-government issued, Rights we possess because we were born human beings!
Let’s start with this little tidbit of information, the unclassified (meaning: not kept private) National Security Letter. What is that you ask?
“A National Security Letter (NSL) is a letter request for information from a third party that is issued by the FBI or by other government agencies with authority to conduct national security investigations.”
On the face, it all sounds really groovy, and protective of our Nation, but let’s take a closer examination of what a “national security investigation” might look like.
Recently, The Homeland Security released a so called “non-classified” report called Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.
The writers stated that the purpose of the report was
to facilitate a greater understanding of the phenomenon of violent radicalization in the United States. The information is provided to federal, state, local, and tribal counterterrorism and law enforcement officials so they may effectively deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks against the United States. Federal efforts to influence domestic public opinion must be conducted in an overt and transparent manner, clearly identifying United States Government sponsorship.
Let me start with this statement:

The Feds don’t even make good liars anymore! Why is it that the Feds are trying to “influence domestic public opinion”? It’s called brainwashing, but I digress!
