UK Wants to Store All Electronic Transactions in Massive Database for a Year as Part of Anti-Terrorism Plan →

Data on all phone calls, text messages, email traffic and online visits would be stored for a year in vast databases under a new anti-terrorism plan in Britain, The Telegraph reported Saturday on its website.
The report, which did not cite sources, said that phone companies and broadband providers would be ordered to store the information themselves for a year for security services’ “real-time” inspection under the plan. Contents of phone calls, texts or emails would not be recorded, The Telegraph said, but the databases would retain the phone numbers and email addresses sent from and to.
And the plan would reach into social networking for the first time, The Telegraph reported, allowing security services to get information about direct messages between users of Facebook, Twitter and similar sites, and even between players in online video games.
The Telegraph said the government had been negotiating with Internet companies for two months and the plan could be announced as early as May.
The newspaper noted that there could be concerns over civil liberties issues and over the security of the records themselves.
It wasn’t clear if the plan applied only to domestic communications or whether international calls, texts and tweets would be swept up in the databases. The newspaper described the plan as a reworking of a proposal abandoned in 2009 by the previous Labour government amid a storm of criticism.

Society hates black people.
Like holy shit.
If you’re not white, you are basically screwed in America.
1/15 Black Males are incarcerated in the US (compared to 1/36 Hispanic Males and 1/106 White Males)
In addition, blacks are the second poorest group in America (second to Hispanics)
75% of scholarships go to white people even though they are only 62% of the population.
Not to mention the racist police force.
But don’t worry.
We have a black president, so racism is over…. /s
Santorum Doubles Down: ‘ObamaCare’ Is The First Step To The ‘Guillotine’ →

In his escalating war on President Obama’s fake war on religion, Rick Santorum warned yesterdaythat America is headed towards a French Revolution-style guillotining spree thanks to “President Obama and his overt hostility to faith in America.” The GOP presidential hopeful reiterated the claim today in Oklahoma, suggesting that the left wants public decapitations and that the Affordable Care Act is the first step:
SANTORUM: It was a secular revolution on which we relied on the goodness of each other. This is the left’s view of where America should go. And of course where did France go? To the guillotine. To tyranny. If there are no rights that government needs to respect, then what we see with ObamaCare is just the beginning of what government will do to you.
Santorum spews more Santorum.
