“Denial is no longer an option. For years, even decades it has been reported by people inside and outside our government that agencies and departments within our federal government have been spying on citizens and further collecting data (Personal Identifiable Information) associated with the domestic spying taking place. Many of us who discussed the spying taking place were called conspiracy theorists, tin foil hat wearers, or black helicopter paranoid people: Today we are called realists. The Snowden revelations are unique because of the depth and scope of the revelations and because Snowden had the official documents to back up his assertions.”
