This video link was censored by Huffington Post on their article about the Verizon blanket mass surveillance reported by Glenn Greenwald and the DOJ investigation into the leaker.
How about investigating the repeated multiple abuses of the Constitution by the Obama regime?
Mass surveillance has been exponentially increased to build a file on EVERY American citizen.
Glenn Greenwald's article :-

The problem with metadata - it gives you a whole load of other information :-

For anyone still wondering why Obama didn't prosecute Bush/Cheney, you quite clearly now have your answer.
Barack Obama is EXACTLY the same as Bush/Cheney.
We are now in the 4th term of the Cheney regime.
The purpose of the Mass Surveillance program does not have anything to do with combating terrorism.
It's purpose is to provide blackmail and intimidation material on anyone that might upset the government in the future.
Upsetting the government might involve :-
Attending an Occupy demo
Attending a gun rights rally
Being a potential government whistle blower (we have all seen the crackdown on those by Obama)
Being critical of government policy
Being a supporter of the Bill of Rights and Constitution (which Obama continues to shred until there is nothing left)
A property dispute, e.g. over the amount of compensation for confiscating property in order to build the Keystone pipeline
Material to be used in blackmail or intimidation would include anything you didn't want your partner, children or friends to find out about, e.g. :
An extra marital affair
Not being 100% honest on your tax filing or on an insurance claim form
A married man that has not come out and went to a gay bar
A visit to a lap dancing club on someone else's stag night
etc. etc.
If that failed to give up anything of use - they will go after close friends or family.
If your teenage kid has smoked dope that would be a powerful weapon to threaten you with.
They will threaten to go after them and jail them.
The Mass Surveillance program is not to protect the people from terrorism.
It is never going to be able to do that - see the massive intelligence failure of Boston.
All the evidence was there that the elder brother was a substantive risk and the authorities did absolutely NOTHING to stop it.
They should of been closely monitoring the activities of the elder brother upon his return from his 6 month visit to the Caucasus - including attendance at an Islamic Extremist conference. They "dropped" him - the FBI had known he was a risk for years, he was on their watch list.
The FBI and the NSA are too busy monitoring the activities of law abiding citizens to stop terrorism.
The Mass Surveillance program is to protect the government FROM the people.
It is to provide a source of information to blackmail, intimidate and suppress government critics.
In case anyone has any doubts that all phone carriers are supplying data to the government (only QWest objected), that it is a continuous operation, has been going on for years and has been exponentially ramped up by Obama - here is just some of the evidence :-

The monitoring and capture of internet searches, email and social media is part of a Mass Surveillance program called Prism.
Most major technology companies are part of the program.
Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple.
This too has been exponentially ramped up by Obama.

The program to decrypt and capture all online financial transactions is on-going within the NSA.
This is part of the reason that the new $2bn data center has been built in Utah (it becomes fully operational in the Fall).
It takes a lot of server power to decrypt every financial transaction made in the US.

Even if you are not concerned about privacy rights, how about the money?
Obama has spent well over $100bn on ramping up the Mass Surveillance program.
He continues to spend tens of billions of dollars a year on it.
Yet we have the sequester, bridges falling down killing people and 9,000 bridges in the US with structural weaknesses that could go the same way.
BRIDGES are killing more US citizens than terrorists!

The Mass Surveillance program is only one plank in Obama's program of numerous measures, to intimidate and suppress domestic dissent.
Here are the others :-

The intimidation of the general population to not be critical of the government is generally known as a Police State.
And make no mistake about it, that is EXACTLY what America has now become.
Even the NY Times, Obama's biggest propagandist is now writing editorials critical of Obama.

Obama in 2007 on Warrantless Wiretaps:
Supreme Hypocrisy and multiple outright lies.
Ari Fleischer just praised Obama for continuing Bush's 4th term on #CNN. It really is the state against the people.
Huffington Post's main story on their front page is using this picture and this headline :-
George W Obama
