Does anyone remember Senator Frank Church? He was the Democrat Senator from Idaho. He served from 1957 through 1981. He headed the Church Committee. What that committee did was investigate abuses within the United States Intelligence Community.
Anyway. What Frank said was this. And it rings true here, since what is surely contained in those documents is predictable. Though, the severity and characters remain unknown. What he had said was that “If this government ever became a tyranny...the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back, because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know.”
The Senator from Idaho was, in my view, a man ahead of his time.
