Dear Comrades,

After an inspiring and uplifting speech on the State of the Socialist Union by Comrade Party Chairman and Future President Barack Barackovich Obama, the National Socialist Security Agency of the Department of Progressive Defense has announced the appointment of a new Civil Liberties and Privacy Officer, Comrade Commissar Rebecca Richards.

Comrade Rebecca's mission will be to evaluate the activities of the NSSA to ensure they are properly complying with Party directives concerning the elimination of all such Bourgeois notions as ‘privacy' and ‘personal liberties,' which are generally used as excuses for non-compliance with State regulations. In carrying out its patriotic mission to protect the State against all enemies, foreign and domestic, the NSSA must overcome any obstacles to Progress erected by reactionaries and the politically unformed elements of society.

Since the NSSA has been especially effective at monitoring the workers and peasants of the USSA, by tracking the wolves among the sheep through communications monitoring, Comrade Rebecca will be receiving daily reports of the citizens who may attempt to resist monitoring, and will have proper responses prepared to help them renounce their resistance and embrace the concept harmonious cooperation with security activities of the State.

Party officials are so pleased with her appointment that they have nominated her for the Order of Beria 2nd Class in anticipation of her outstanding performance.

The NSSA will protect us from terrorists hiding behind ‘privacy'! Up with the People, and down with ‘civil liberties'!

Faithfully submitted to the Collective of the People's Cube,
Comrade Nomenklatura-climber
Dialectical Progressivism Translator

In the words of a well known Zampolit officer, "Privacy is of no concern. In fact, it is frequently a threat to the collective good."

So will the Supreme Court now reverse its earlier decision(s) about the "right to privacy" that exists in the shadows of the emanations of the penumbras of the nimbi of the Constitution?
