All U.S. Intelligence Agencies – Including CIA and NSA – to Spy On Americans’ Finances
Reuters notes:
U.S. to let spy agencies scour Americans’ finances
The Obama administration is drawing up plans to give all U.S. spy agencies full access to a massive database that contains financial data on American citizens and others who bank in the country, according to a Treasury Department document seen by Reuters.
***
Financial institutions that operate in the United States are required by law to file reports of “suspicious customer activity,” such as large money transfers or unusually structured bank accounts, to Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
The Federal Bureau of Investigation already has full access to the database. However, intelligence agencies, such as the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, currently have to make case-by-case requests for information to FinCEN.
The Treasury plan would give spy agencies the ability to analyze more raw financial data than they have ever had before ….
***
The planning document, dated March 4, shows that the proposal is still in its early stages of development, and it is not known when implementation might begin.
***
The plan calls for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence – set up after 9/11 to foster greater collaboration among intelligence agencies – to work with Treasury. The Director of National Intelligence declined to comment.
The excuse given for this intrusion on privacy?
As with the destruction of all of our privacies and other liberties, the excuse given is terrorism.
Indeed, given that the government claims the right to assassinate or indefinitely detain Americans without any due process of law, do you think government employees will hesitate in seizing the assets of Americans labels as “enemies?”
The government has done it before, and President Obama authorized seizure of property again last year.
And the government’s take-down of Megaupload was an exercise of the power to seize all of the legal property held in a storage facility because a handful of crooks have illegal property in theirs.

You can't tea party with the NSA & IRS.

indeed, its one of those ...well the internet has that too, like politics has tea and sympathy.
no-I mean that soddomite site you have the link to
look o bum a, like clinton the elder, but much less attached to our nation,fatherless, men, with no ties to America, a perfect reflection of the ideal ruler for the multinational emerging NWO...every action to weaken America, and bind it to international laws and rules ..military and alphabet agencies long ago subverted (thank you Joe McCarthy they were here, you were no fool.) for those left or right look at our leaders here in America be honest with yourself they serve the reptiles who have no country only power control and wealth beyond measure. If you wake up if you open your eyes wide shut, if you stop being drugged and distracted , if you then find the toxic propaganda of media, welcome to reality, it hurts boy does it hurt. The truth is a cross and a crown of thorns. it is worth it.
I looked for a Michelle Bachmann /hot sausage link and ended up there; well once there I posted it.
I ain't intolerant. The fact that its up the ass and male on male friendly is incidental and accidental.
"Its the internet stupid..." as that guy said!
I'm personally more into Gomorrhism myself.
Or is it gomorrahmy?
Speaking of knowing about sodomites and Romney..
