Since December 10th when H.R. 4681 was passed by the House, the media has remained entirely silent on section 309 of the bill, which allows for law enforcement to illegally collect and store electronic data without a warrant and use it against us with impunity.
It also appears to allow law enforcement unlimited access to data the NSA has already collected through that program Edward Snowden exposed.
The legislation was scheduled for only a “voice vote,” which means that it is simply declared “passed” with voice votes and no record.
This is considered the simplest and quickest voting method, not what one would expect from such an important piece of legislation. For most pieces of major legislation, a roll call vote would be the standard operating procedure.
Thankfully, Representative Justin Amash, when catching wind of what was transpiring, went to the House floor to demand a roll call vote so that everyone would have to have their vote recorded.
The fact that this important piece of legislation was handled in this way indicates that this was done intentionally to sneak it past the public eye. It becomes even more suspicious when you realize that it was done concurrently with the CIA torture report being released and the Gruber hearing.
…
This bill will allow information gained from domestic spying by the feds, in the name of “terrorism,” to be transferred to local law enforcement for criminal investigations without any type of court order, subpoena or warrant.
This is one of the most drastic changes in U.S. law in our lifetimes and has the potential to turn the U.S. into a true police state.
Here are the comments Amash made on the bill from his Facebook page:
I am obviously a newsman, and I have never seen the media this intensely silent about any single issue. Honestly. It is madness.
Unsurprisingly, the section allowing this was added by the Jewess Dianne Feinstein.
This is a massive, massive thing. People need to spread this information immediately.
A petition has been organized.
Here is the full text of the section in question. The entire bill can be read on the Congress’ website, here.
