Government Stalkers: A Creepy Follow-up
May 6, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher When you have the IRS, DHS, FBI and NSA all vying to be letters in your personal alphabet soup, perhaps it’s time to evaluate what exactly you ordered when you decided to become or remain an American citizen! I attributed a lot of the IRS spying to their […]
IRS = Government STALKERS!
May 3, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Publisher Technology is the new weapon of choice when it comes to surveillance, especially for the IRS! The double standard imposed on the general public has reached almost embarrassing levels: 100% transparency from private individuals, a pass for corporate cronies, and NO expectation of transparency or accountability from the […]
Don’t Drone Me, Bro!
May 2, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Editor As I sit here and shudder over the implications drones would have on my civil liberties, government officials are looking to put “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles” in federal air space. While I find no consolation in the softer term, and don’t dispute the practical applications of drones, I take […]
Offshore Re-education Camp: Lesson 1
May 1, 2013 By: Paul Seymour, Director of Client Services I was recently asked to start doing a periodic radio broadcast on Radio Free Latin America (RFLA), called Offshore Re-education Camp. It’s being piped in to the USSA from a secret location south of the border via short wave radio signals. The aim of RFLA […]
CISPA: Liberty Win? Or Tyranny Delay?
April 30, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Editor The fact that CISPA was tabled in the Senate, doesn’t mean it’s dead on arrival. Chances are, it’s just dormant, much like the last time we thought it was “shot down”. Regardless of whether CISPA passes, unfortunately, the government agencies who want to pry deeper into private affairs […]
SEC’s Revolving Door: Who Will Regulate the Regulators?
April 22, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Editor Before we cry for more government oversight in the financial industry, we should be asking: “Who will regulate the regulators over at the SEC?” And before we look to more money, or more staff, or more rules, we should be asking: “Would any of those things address the […]
CISPA: Government & Corporate Information is More Important Than Yours
April 19, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Editor While proponents go so far as to argue that CISPA is a constitutional duty reflective of their oath of office, upon further examination, our right to privacy plays fifth fiddle to legislators’ desire to protect corporate and government information over that of private citizens. CISPA is an example […]
FBI & IRS Rifling Through Your Virtual Communications?
April 12, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Editor What is “reasonable” for government agents, usually is quite UNreasonable to the private citizen, especially when it comes to privacy of our virtual communications! I keep hearing the word “reasonable” from government agencies! In the words of the great Inigo Montoya (h/t “The Princess Bride”), “You keep saying […]
DHS Goes for Your Safe Deposit Box?
April 8, 2013 By: Kelly Diamond, Editor The Cypriot Deal turned a lot of heads and woke quite a few folks up to governments’ propensity to just TAKE private assets under some alarmist guise, and hopefully now, Americans will take more seriously the intentions of our own DHS and their moves toward confiscating our assets.

The Fourth Amendment: Abolished
February 26, 2013 By Steven Hilgart, Director of Marketing and Conference Operations The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution protects us from illegal search and seizures! But not in Constitution free zones where it’s been abolished. I’ve always been that guy who touches the stove to see if it’s hot. And what better way to test […]
