FISA is a sweeping surveillance authority that allows the warrantless surveillance of Americans in the name of national security. It was originally created to stop intelligence agencies from spying on people in the US without oversight. But over time, the guardrails came off. And the man who helped build some of those guardrails at the FBI now says the system has gone badly wrong. In this video, we trace the full history of FISA, from the abuses that created it, to the safeguards that once held it in check, to how it became the legal foundation for one of the most powerful warrantless surveillance systems in America. 00:00 The FISA Process Got Corrupted 01:16 What is FISA 03:02 The Lead-Up 06:24 What FISA Did 10:08 Building the Safeguards 14:20 Dismantling the Safeguards 23:09 The Current Fight 24:26 This Machine Does Not Care Who Inherits It FISA is a weapon we keep handing forward, trusting that whoever picks it up next will be as restrained as the last person who held it. When you're told to just trust the system, you're not being asked to trust the careful, decent person who built it. You're being asked to trust everyone who will ever hold it after him. Every administration. The politician you'd never vote for. The official who already thinks people like you are the enemy. The question was never whether we can trust the people in charge today. It's why we built something this dangerous to hand to anyone at all. NBTV is a project of the Ludlow Institute, a 501c3 non profit whose mission is to advance freedom through technology.
