NSA Stores Data to Target Any Citizen at Any Time
By RT
The current revelations on the NSA s spying are just the tip of the iceberg and affect "almost every country in the world," said Glenn Greenwald. He stressed the NSA stores data for "as long as it can," so they can target a citizen whenever they want.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article36680.htm
Spying not about terror
"What we revealed is that this spying system is devoted not to terrorists, but is directed to innocent people around the world," Greenwald told CNN's Christiane Amanpour.

Independent Institute
by Anthony Gregory
10/30/13
The government seeks to have all the data it can possibly get, and keep tabs on every documented detail in your life. They will share this data with law enforcement agencies that have nothing to do with terrorism, which is itself a minuscule threat compared to what America faced during the Cold War. The only way to stop this is a nationwide movement to restore the Fourth Amendment completely. No more warrantless searches, for any reason: drugs, guns, taxes, money laundering or terrorism. This system cannot be reformed, because the system, from top to bottom, is all aimed at abolishing every last bit of personal privacy...

A government of secrecy and fear
Tenth Amendment Center
by Andrew P. Napolitano
11/03/13
When Gen. Keith Alexander, the head of the NSA, was confronted with this litany of unlawful and unconstitutional behavior, he replied by claiming that his spies have saved the U.S. from 54 terrorist plots. He pleaded with lawmakers not to strip him of the power to spy or of the billions they have given him to spend on spying, lest another 9/11 plot befall us. Many Americans were willing to make this trade: spy on 330,000,000 Americans in order to stop 54 plots. But the government lacks the moral and constitutional power to compel this trade, because the right to privacy is a personal, individual and inalienable right, and so it cannot lawfully be taken away by majority vote (which never happened) or by secret fiat (which did happen)...
