The *REAL* Illegal Electronic Surveillance Scandal

There is a much biggger scandal regarding the illegal electronic surveillance of American citizens than the 'mainstream' media is willing to discuss. Very few people are aware that since the Nixon administration (1973) the United States government has been conducting [illegal] electronic surveillance of American citizens by secretly installing "monitoring devices" *INSIDE* of people without their knowledge or consent, and in complete violation of various U.S. laws. These monitoring devices were manufactured by the NSA!

This may sound like science fiction, but unfortunately, it is very true. Using extremely advanced, top-secret [nano]technology, the U.S. goverment have been *injecting* tiny devices [about the size of an
uncooked grain of rice] into people. These devices are used to record EVERYTHING that the targeted person says, everything that those in proximity to the targeted person say [these moittoringdevices are
extremely sensitive and can clearly detect --and record-- a whisper from up to 1, 200 feet away]. The
devices also trackthe movements of those who have been targeted.

How does the government justify this outrageous violation of the U.S. Constitution and the human and civil rights of the American people? It's very easy:

1.) When the government wants to 'monitor' someone, they claim that they are conducting an
'investigation' [the people who are targeted are usually completely innocent of any crime -- people are generally targeted for POLITICAL reasons].

2.) Before FISA was passed by Congress in 1978, the government [the PRIMARY federal agency which was responsible for injecting these 'monitoring devices' into people was the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The DEA was SPECIFICALLY created to target dissidents and whistleblowers in *fabricated* 'drug investigations'] would simply GAS the home of the targeted person at night [usually around 3AM] and then enter the home WITHOUT A WARRANT and WITHOUT the CONSENT of the targetted person. The gas was used to ensure that the targeted person would not wake up during the process of injecting the monitoring device into him/her. The injections could be done very quickly, and the targetd person would awaken in the morning completely unaware of what had been done.

3.) After FISA was passed, the government started obtaining warrants from the 'Surveillance Court' to enter the homes of targeted people and install 'monitoring devices' in them. These warrants were usually based on FABRICATED evidence. Although the goverment began obtaining warrants, the fact is that there are not *any* laws which allow them to inject 'monitoring devices' into people ---- therefore, with or without a warrant, it is ILLEGAL [i.e. a crime].

These criminal acts against the American people have been occurring since 1973.

The United States government was sued in the late 1990s for illegally injecting a monitoring device into a man named Charles A. Schlund, III [from Glendale, Arizona].

Case No: CIV98-1875PHX ROS, reassigned to RCB

His case was appealed all the way to the United States Supreme Court in May 2001, [the Supreme Court declined to hear his case].
