Got Email?

So, you voted for Big Brother?

The Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection is accused of detaining an Indiana woman at the airport without cause and then quizzing her about her sex life on knowledge the agents may have gained through the interception of private emails. 

Christine Von Der Haar, a senior lecturer at the Department of Sociology at Indiana University, has teamed up with the American Civil Liberties Union and filed suit against the agency, saying it violated her constitutional rights against unreasonable search and seizures 

In 2012, Miss Von Der Haar accompanied her friend, a Greek national named Dimitris Papatheodoropoulos, to the CPB office at the Indianapolis International Airport to pick up computer equipment he had shipped separately when he flew into the airport a few days earlier, according to a release issued by ACLU. 

The custom agent asked Miss Von Der Haar and Mr. Papatheodoropoulos if they had any plans to marry, and then isolated them from one another to ask about the nature of their romantic and flirtatious relationship and if they were having sexual relations. Dr. Von Der Haar sat in a guarded room for 20 minutes, the suit alleges 

CBP appeared to be concerned that Mr. Papatheodoropoulos was trying to stay in the country illegally. 

“This case raises troubling issues about the power of the government to detain and question citizens,” said Kenneth Falk, ACLU of Indiana’s legal director, who represents Miss Von Der Haar....

These moral and criminal offenses have become daily fare. They will go unreviewed, let alone unpunished (of course, there will be PR babble about looking in to it unless the lid is off a particular cess pool.) We will see if the population has been sufficiently dulled so as to keep voting for the SS.

The good thing is DHS, Das Homeland Security, targeted an academic, a professor of sociology who, apparently, does not have a conservative life style.  The high probability is this person was a true believer.  Eventually, the state suppresses the true believer because they are activists and were subversives on the behalf of the victorious tyranny. They can turn on their former hero on short notice and the tyrants know it.

Got Netflix?  Good BBC:  The Last Enemy.  It is surprising the English establishment developed this mini series.

For light hearted story of how banks run both sides of wars in their control of everyone, except for those they kill:  The International.
