Big Brother's Watching: Is cyber threat overhyped by US government?

The U.S. government wants to pry deeper into people's internet activities - even down to reading their email before they do. The ''Einstein Cyber Shield' is aimed at defending government systems from hackers. But it's upsetting many who say it's a massive infringement of civil liberties.

The U.S. government is ripening itself for an overthrow. The politicians are the terrorists that are waging war against the population and the Constitution. Perhaps a peaceful overthrow is in order.

Buy your guns and ammo while you can... Wake up people! The elite hate the internet! They are being exposed and they know it and don't like it. Our last freedom of speech and it will soon go down the toilet like the mainstream media.

If the US government has nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear. Their actions speak louder than their empty words! They keep claiming this is all to protect National Security, to protect the American people from "Them", the terrorists, but can anyone tell me who will protect us from the Government?
