October 26, 2024 is the 23rd anniversary of the “USA PATRIOT Act” being crammed through Congress and signed into law in 4 days. This single piece of legislation unleashed all the systemic privacy violations Edward Snowden blew the whistle on in June 2013. This video explores HOW the legislation was passed so quickly and the chilling impact it has had on our country over the past 23 years.
