CISPA
Is Fascism"Disguised In Cyber Security Legislation
CISPA
the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act if passed will allow""the
military and NSA warrant-less spying on Americans’ confidential electronic
Communications and transmitted private information; circumvent the fourth
amendment by permitting any self-protected cyber entity to share with the Feds
any obtained information that might relate to a cyber threat. Considering
federal government’s close business relationship with several telephone and
Internet companies it should be assumed the feds will through CISPA gain access
legally or otherwise to Americans’ electronic communications. The current House
Passed Cyber Security Bill overrides the Fourth Amendment. Any information
gleaned from warrant-less spying is admissible in Criminal, Civil and
Administrative courts against U.S. Citizens and businesses. CISPA opens the
door for U.S. Government spy agencies such as NSA; the FBI, government
contractors and private entities (to take out of context) any innocent"hastily
written email, fax or phone call to allege a crime or violation was committed
to cause a person’s arrest, assess fines and or civilly forfeit a business or property. There are
more than 350 laws and violations that can subject property to government asset
forfeiture. Government civil asset forfeiture requires only a civil
preponderance of evidence for police to forfeit property, little more than
hearsay.
The
U.S. Justice Department can use CISPA spying to circumvent the Fourth Amendment,
(no warrant searches) of Web Server Records; a Citizen’s Internet Activity,
personal transmitted emails; fax and phone calls to issue subpoenas in hopes of
finding evidence or to prosecute Citizens for any alleged crime or violation.
If CISPA is passed it is problematic federal, state and local law enforcement
agencies and private government contractors will want access to prior Bush II
NSA and other government illegally obtained electronic records not limited to
Americans’ Internet activity; private emails, fax and phone calls to secure
evidence to arrest Americans, to civilly forfeit their homes, businesses and
other assets under Title 18USC and other laws. Of obvious concern, what happens
to fair justice in America if police become dependent on “Asset Forfeiture” to
help pay their salaries and budget operating costs?
The
passed “Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000” (effectively eliminated) the
“five year statue of limitations” for Government Civil Asset Forfeiture: the
statute now runs five years (from the date) police allege they “learned” an
asset became subject to forfeiture. If CISPA is passed allowing (no warrant)
electronic government surveillance of Americans, it should be expected CISPA
will be used by government not just to thwart cyber threats but to prosecute
Americans for any alleged crime; expect government/police will relentlessly
sift through Citizen and businesses’ (government retained Internet data),
emails and phone communications to discover possible crimes or civil violations.
A corrupt despot U.S. Government Administration may too easily use
no-warrant-seized emails, Internet data and phone call information) to
blackmail political opposition, U.S. Citizens, corporations and others in the
same manner Hitler used Nazi passed no-warrant police state search and seizure
laws to selectively target Citizens for arrest, to extort support for the Nazi
fascist government, including strong-arming parliament to pass Hitler’s 1933
Discriminatory Decrees that suspended the Constitutional Freedoms of German
Citizens.
A
Nazi Government threat of “Property
Seizure” Asset Forfeiture of an individual or corporation’s assets generally
was sufficient to ensure Nazi support. History shows how that turned out…
