Kay who was the president who had J.Edgar snooping on all of his paranoid so called enemies (Nixon?). He wanted a dossier on them ?

Who was it that had J. Edgar snooping on the sexual proclivities of those he had for some reason a dislike.. Irony being too that J. Edgar was probably a closeted homosexual... ..

If you go back to the McCarthy era there was all kinds of wire taps snooping as it were. Martin L. King was a victim of wire taps.. The Hollywood crew who were brought before the House of UnAmerican Activities... were..

Friends of mine who had been part of the fringe Communist front parties... in good faith but not to overthrow the government lost jobs.. They had spied on them and all of the above was without the knowledge of the persons who later were denied jobs.. promotions or lost their status as a American Citizen.. including passports..

IT was an ugly time. These are the violations that I oppose. The enemy sometimes is not the enemy we think but our own government..
