Back in March Infowars noted that new guidelines put forth by the Obama  administration will allow US spy agencies, under the umbrella of the National  Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), to keep records on innocent Americans without  oversight for up to five years.

The rules on data retention were relaxed Following  the 2009 Christmas day underpants bomber debacle. US representatives immediately  called for the NCTC’s authority to be expanded, saying that there was not enough  communication between intelligence agencies.

We warned that changes in such rules would aid the  already vast spying architecture that the federal government has aimed directly  at the American people.

This week, a report in the Wall Street Journal issues the very same  warning, noting that the NCTC can use the data it collates from every US  intelligence agency’s database, and analyze it to to predict possible criminal  behavior of any U.S. citizen.

The WSJ report notes how a head “privacy officer”  at the Department of Homeland Security explained to the Obama administration  that the new privacy busting powers provided to the NCTC would bring about a  “sea change”.

From now on, citizens interacting with the federal  government are subjected to a procedure where the first question asked is”Are  they a terrorist?”, according to the DHS official.
