Питам се понякога, защо съм наказан да живея в тази страна!? Какво сме ние за тези които ни управляват?! Sometimes I ask myself "What are we all for the Bulgarian government?!" The people's voice is nothing for them...

"This Wednesday at 9am the Swedish Parliament is voting on anew wiretapping law which would enable the civil agency (FRA— Defense Radio Agency) to snoop on all traffic crossing theSwedish border. E-mail, fax, telephone, web, SMS, etc. 24/7without any requirement to obtain a court order.Furthermore, by law, the sitting Government will be able toinstruct the wiretapping agency on what to look for. It alsonullifies anonymity for press tipsters and whistleblowers.Many agencies within Sweden have weighed in on this, withvery hefty criticism, e.g. SAPO (akin to FBI in the US), theJustice Department, ex-employees of FRA, and more.Nonetheless, the ruling party block is supposedly pressuringits members to vote 'yes' to this new proposed law withthreats to unseat any dissidents. After massive activity onblogs by ordinary citizens, and street protests, the storyhas finally been picked up by major Swedish news sources.The result will likely be huge street protests on Wednesday.People have been completely surprised since this law has notgotten any media uptake unitl very late in the game."
