Never Surrender To Orwell’s Nightmare – Exclusive: Jim Fletcher Discovers Call to Resist in ‘Police State USA’
Jim Fletcher / WND
Frankly, there is widespread dread in this country. Nothing feels the same anymore. Much of this has to do with the current occupant of the White House.
Surveillance, disregard for traditional American values and now – reports that the First Lady is asking school kids to monitor their parents – all add up to a scary new reality in which the State controls all.

Collecting and processing personal data is big business, and the private sector is among the worst offenders when it comes to asking citizens to relinquish their personal information.

The intense focus on data collection should alarm every American.
