CISA Surveillance Bill Hidden Inside Last Night's Budget Bill (engadget.com)
An anonymous reader writes that the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) was inserted into the omnibus budget deal passed by the House of Representatives late last night. Engadget reports: "Last night's budget bill wasn't all about avoiding a government shutdown. Packed inside the 2,000-page bill announced by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) is the full text of the controversial Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) of 2015. If you'll recall, the measure passed the Senate back in October, leaving it up to the House to approve the bill that encourages businesses to share details of security breaches and cyber attacks. Despite being labeled as cybersecurity legislation, critics of CISA argue that it's a surveillance bill that would allow companies to share user info with the US government and other businesses. As TechDirt points out, this version of the bill stripped important protections that would've prevented directly sharing details with the NSA and required any personally identifying details to be removed before being shared. It also removes restrictions on how the government can use the data."
Yes, the US bill of rights comes on a roll available in the central bankster's bathroom these days. Those Catholic/Protestant folks don't care much for human rights, Mayans, American Indians, or any native people in their land. Never trust a limey, or a banker, and never ever trust limey banker unless your in the club, understand and you're okay with what got JFK whacked. What sucks is they have been using the US stick to poke at the Islamic bee hive for a while now and it looks like they are pretty pissed off and the folks pulling the strings seem to want to pull off a gun grab. Perhaps we should keep our guns and show ISIS the yellow brick road that leads back to the UK and the Vatican and this BS has been going on against them for thousands of years.
