Dismantle the NSA Slurp and Burp!

Last edited Fri Jul 19, 2013, 05:55 PM - Edit history (1)

You're probably thinking WTF is Slurp and Burp?

It's my pet name for the practice the NSA has fallen into where they grab everything and store it for future reference. That's the slurp part and the future reference is the burp part.

The Burp when as Clapper euphemised your book is opened. Oh, and he also confirmed that it's not just phone metadata, it is also the call content.

Even the dude who wrote the Patriot Act abomination said that's is not what he intended in the law.

Stop the Slurp and Burp. Tell that exact phrase to your friendly congressional staffer. Tell them to dismantle it now.

There is no legal warrant that allows wholesale recording.

Maybe I should go with Scoop and Poop instead of Slurp and Burp.

eating competitions. An abomination in their own right.

Concerning these latest revealing's of how our government is keeping tabs on...everyone, I wonder how long it would take to build a file on any citizen they marked.

It's amazing to me that Americans aren't in the streets demanding adherence to the Constitution.

It's saddening that this was revealed under a Democratic administration.

It's shocking to study how many parallels there are between our current social/political state, and any police state. Many (so far) gradients of intensity and coverage, but the same policies, actions, and attitude of government becoming "the boss".

They already have the data in a datawarehouse (That's an IT term of art) it's simply a matter of running the queries and they have an app for that.
