On the 64th anniversary of the publication of GEORGE ORWELL’s classic “1984” BIG BROTHER is MORE than watching as WHITE HOUSE official defends seizure of American citizens’ phone records.
While Nixon may have famously bugged his Democratic opponents in the now infamous Watergate scandal of 1972 shattering his Presidency, President Obama defends the seizure of all Verizon customers’ phone data.
Today the Obama Administration admitted it has been gathering a massive amount of telephone records from at least one major telecommunications (and perhaps, possibly more) company, Verizon Communications, as critics charge the “transparency” Obama proffered to the American people was nothing more than a sham.
The shameful admission comes after the UK Guardian newspaper published a secret court order related to the records of millions of Verizon Communications customers on its website.
