Our final observation on the matter of the US government, no longer accountable to anyone, and treating its citizens as indentured debt serfs who are entitled to precisely zero privacy rights, comes from Stephen Wolfson and “The NSA, AT&T And The Secrets Of Room 641A.”
It is an impartial view of what is really going on in the world of communication surveillance.
