NSA Slapped With $20 Billion Class-Action Suit

‘The time has come for we the people to reclaim control of our nation’

WND

Drew Zahn

The National Security Agency surveillance scandal could now cost the federal government and its corporate cronies a cool $20 billion or more.

The NSA, Department of Justice, President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and the 12 companies allegedly collaborating with the government to conduct warrantless surveillance of American citizens are all named defendants in a class action lawsuit brought by former Justice Department prosecutor Larry Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch.

“Government dishonesty and tyranny against the people have reached historic proportions,” Klayman said in a statement. “The time has come for ‘We the People’ to rise up and reclaim control of our nation.”

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, seeks $20 billion in damages, a “cease and desist” order, expunction of all phone and communication records collected by the government through its PRISM surveillance program and “full disclosure and complete accounting” of what the named companies have allowed the DOJ and NSA to do.

The companies named in the suit include the following: Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Skype, YouTube, Apple, PalTalk, AOL and Yahoo. Combined with Verizon, which has been named in a separate class action lawsuit, the users and subscribers of these companies reportedly comprise a majority of the U.S. citizenry, thus positioning the lawsuit to pit the American people against their government and its corporate collaborators.

      Hopefully many more law suits will follow and for a lot more money, Like a trillion to get their attention. 20 billion is pocket change for the perps involved.

      What you all don’t seem to understand. Is that there is no way anyone will be allowed to find out what they are hiding.

      9-11 was a result of this type of investigation and has 0 to do with terrorists.

      This will lead to a world war. in my humble opinion.

    • websuspect

      Wow. Sixty bucks each. After the blood sucking lawyers get their share, it’ll be more like thirty.

      A lot of good that will do. The feds won’t be out anything if they lose. They are broke. The American taxpayer will be on the hook again. We have no representation in DC. The reps. and senators go to DC and forget about the people back home who sent them there. This much is evident in the bills they try to shove through. With no representation we have a tyrannical federal govt. that tries to overstep it’s bounds every time it can. I think we fought a war once over no representation. Uhhhh let’s see it was around 1776!
