“Federal military commanders have the authority, in extraordinary (undefined) emergency circumstances where prior authorization by the President is impossible and duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation, to engage temporarily in activities that are necessary to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances.

What would you do?
You know half the world is suspicious of anything any governments tell them.
So you check up on them with a comprehensive Prism spying network and… yep!

This activity is linked to the last decade of US defence planning, which has been increasingly concerned by the risk of civil unrest at home triggered by catastrophic events linked to climate change, energy shocks or economic crisis – or all three.
