| Operation Vigilant Eagle: Big Sis' shockingly dirty secrets go public |
| 2013-07-31 |
| Rutherford Institute President John Whitehead, a constitutional attorney for the past 40 years, said the Napolitano legacy of reducing freedom is evident across the board, starting in early 2009 when the department issued a report listing returning soldiers as one of the greatest threats to American security. "Another program Napolitano set up is Operation Vigilant Eagle, which is a surveillance system done on all returning veterans from overseas, where they watch Facebook posts, text messages, emails of returning veterans to see if they're going to be disgruntled," Whitehead said. "There are quite a few disgruntled veterans. In fact, one that we helped just filed a major lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security." "They arrived one day at his door, arrested him and actually put him in a mental institution for his Facebook posts criticizing the government. We got him out and then we sued the government," Whitehead said. Another outrage, according to Whitehead, is the harassment of Americans living on or somewhat near our national borders with Mexico and Canada. He said law-abiding citizens have been forced to hand over their laptops while the government officials download the information. The Rutherford Institute has also received reports of Americans being removed from their cars and searched without probable cause. |

| #2 Torches and pitchforks aren't enough. I fear it's going to come to explosives and rifle rounds. |

| #1 The more I hear the sooner I think that the torches and pitchforks come out. Is it time to rebel against the self-designated aristocracy? |
