I apparently was ahead of the curve when I picked up the domain AmericanStasi.com to highlight the domestic surveillance aspects of the American Stasi.
If you do not know what I am talking about, be ready to be blown away. I see it every day, and I can still not believe so many Americans would align against fellow Americans, just to curry favor with the powers that be.
