Big Brother Wants Into VoIP At Any Cost

wallaby fly-half writes "An amendment to the CALEA law would make it easier for the government to monitor calls made over VoIP and even temporarily store some packet traffic. Ars Technica reports that the 'bill will put the technology in place to buffer packet streams, and places the job of filtering those streams under government control. We know from the NSA warrantless wiretapping program that the government is not limiting itself to access to under court orders, and the CALEA bill must be considered in light of the capacity it generates.'"

Stop funding and arming terrorists in the Middle East?!

Stop flooding Israel with weapons to slaughter people. And how about not publicly rushing new bombs to Israel when they are running low on ones to kill civilians with?

Kooky end of the world prophesies involving the Middle East have no place in US politics. Believe what you want at home but leave that loony Christian Rapture shit involving Israel or whatever the fuck it is that drives the current US administration to fuel the Israeli terror machine when you show up at work everyday in Washington.

Turning the US into a police state is not the answer. Funding Israeli terrorism in the Middle East is the root of current US security problems.

Well, I guess rightwing TrollMods aren't so much "silent" as anonymous. Still fascists, though.
