When the possibility of wiretapping first became known to Americans
they were outraged. Now, in our post 9/11 world, it's accepted that
corporations are vested with human rights, and government agencies
and corporations use computers to monitor our private lives. David
H. Price pulls back the curtain to reveal how the FBI and other
government agencies have always functioned as the secret police of
American capitalism up to today, where they luxuriate in a
near-limitless NSA surveillance of all. Price looks through a
roster of campaigns by law enforcement, intelligence agencies and
corporations to understand how we got here. Starting with J. Edgar
Hoover and the early FBI's alignment with business, his access to
15,000 pages of never-before-seen FBI files shines a light on the
surveillance of Edward Said, Andre Gunder Frank and Alexander
Cockburn, Native American communists and progressive factory
owners. Price uncovers patterns of FBI monitoring and harassing of
activists and public figures, providing the vital means for us to
understanding how these new frightening surveillance operations are
weaponised by powerful governmental agencies that remain largely
shrouded in secrecy.
