Equivocation makes it alright , doesn't it.


www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jul/31/nsa-top-secret-program...

XKeyscore covers " nearly everything a typical user does on the internet ", including
the content of emails , websites visited and searches , as well as their metadata.
XKeyscore allows analysts to search the metadata as well as the content of emails
and other internet activity , such as browser history , even when there is no known
email account. Analysts can also use XKeyscore and other NSA systems to obtain
ongoing " real-time " interception of an individual's internet activity.

The distinction between private sector and government agency is now undifferentiated
Surveillance that rivals that of the STASI East German Police State is to provide
intelligence on the loyalties of Americans in all areas of government sensitive to
obstructing the ' progressive ' new world order. This enables discrimination based
on Ideological criteria to admit ' fellow travelers ' consolidating a 5th column that
will override constitutional provisions and safeguards. If your career advancement
is stalled , and you're incredulous at how mediocrities , fools and idiots zoom ahead
right past you , now you know how.

“ This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry
is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic , political , even
spiritual — is felt in every city , every State house , every office of the Federal
government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must
not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil , resources and livelihood are
all involved ; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government ,
we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence , whether sought or
unsought , by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of
misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this
combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing
for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing
of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods
and goals , so that security and liberty may prosper together.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower , 1961

“ Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition,
it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures,
until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where
everyone lives in fear.” - Harry S. Truman

" The accumulation of all powers , legislative , executive , and judiciary , in the same hands ,
whether of one , a few , or many , and whether hereditary , self-appointed , or elective ,
may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
- James Madison

" I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedoms of the people by gradual
and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."
- James Madison

The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become
the instruments of tyranny at home.
— James Madison

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
— William Pitt[/size][/font]

www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/07/top-experts-have-warned-for-...

The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is
to take a little of their freedom at a time , to erode rights by a thousand
tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way the people will not
see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at
which these changes cannot be reversed.
— Attributed to Adolf Hitler
Sounds just like a ' progressive ' doesn't it.

Because the regime is captive to its own lies , it must falsify everything.
It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present , and it falsifies the future. It falsifies
statistics , It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.
— Vaclav Havel

The further a society drifts from truth , the more it will hate those who speak it.

That the Suffolk police would issue a disclaimer so as not to jeopardize
their stipend from the Department of Homeland Security ( who really runs
the NSA ) is entirely transparent. That alone should disturb anyone.

The Liar

Deceiver, dissembler
Your trousers are alight
From what pole or gallows

Shall they dangle in the night?

When I asked of your career
Why did you have to kick my rear
With that stinking lie of thine
Proclaiming that you owned a mine?

When you asked to borrow my stallion
To visit a nearby-moored galleon
How could I ever know that you
Intended only to turn him into glue?

What red devil of mendacity
Grips your soul with such tenacity?
Will one you cruelly shower with lies
Put a pistol ball between your eyes?

What infernal serpent
Has lent you his forked tongue?
From what pit of foul deceit
Are all these whoppers sprung?

Deceiver, dissembler
Your trousers are alight
From what pole or gallows
Do they dangle in the night?

— William Blake ( 1810 )

Lying is what people do , it's all they do , all of the time. Get over it.

A little paranoia is fine, but when it stops you from reaching your full potential(or at least half that), it becomes problematic.

A number of secure email platforms like Lavabit and Silent Circle, have
now folded under intense pressure from the United States government.

Lavabit was an email service used by Edward Snowden. From the very
cryptic message that CEO Ladar Levison left on his website, it appears
that he has been approached by the NSA to turn over email records.
Rather than work with the NSA , Levison has shuttered his operations.

http://lavabit.com
www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/aug/08/lavabit-email-shu...

And to boot, Silent Circle CEO Mike Janke announced that his organization
was pre-emptively discontinuing its email platform ' Silent Mail '.

http://silentcircle.wordpress.com/2013/08/09/to-our-customer...
Janke says he sees the writing on the wall and knows
" US government would come after us."

It's deja vu all over again


Totalitarian Statism is not some dystopian myth that is only a future possibility to be soon coming to a neighborhood near you, but is being recognized more and more for the reality that it already exists and has already swallowed up all of the regional neighborhoods. It exists whether or not you are a "fellow traveller" and sycophant supporter of the dystopian socialist "borg collective" in its every ambition and agenda which is an ultimate expression of social Darwinism. According to the subversives who are advancing the statist agenda there are no natural rights of the individual, but every human behavior along with the speech and the thinking that would spontaneously originate from the individual must be conformed to the format and content which is deemed by the global administrators, the "hive directorate" to be socially and politically correct with regards to the faux altruistic proposition that such conformity serves the greater good of the collective. It is the ideology of cultural Marxism which evidently is driving the world towards new definitions of what is "socially healthy" and "correct" thinking and language and behavior which conforms to a certain template for what is healthy and normal, versus what is sociopathological and requring intervention. But what it really comes down to is the elimination of the freewill and choice of the individual, where every subordinate subject of the New World Order has been put in receipt of essentially one choice only as mortal beings, to submit and accept whatever lot in life is being assigned unto them by their overseers as subjects who recognize what is good for them and comply, or to resist and incur the wrath of every agent of the state whose task is enforcement of compliance and inflicting of painful consequences upon any who are insubordinate to the police state.

This is precisely the social / economic / political scheme about which authors like George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and Ayn Rand have warned us all. Some people are smart enough to "get it" and recognize what is occurring in the world, while others are simply too brainwashed and stupid to recognize what is occurring and largely already has occurred.

<strong>franklyn</strong>, please stop writing things like "our country" when you're only referring to the United States.

Well, I guess it's about time to add Pb-lined shorts to the standard nutter kit (foil hats).

Does anyone else find it amusing that actual Sn foil would be more effective than Al foil

Collaboration is not conspiracy but collusion is.


http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/oct/13/us-scared-...

• Michael Hayden, a former head of both the NSA and the CIA, said something very interesting. In a discussion of how to secure the "critical infrastructure" of the United States he described the phenomenon of compromised computer hardware – namely, chips that have hidden "back doors" inserted into them at the design or manufacturing stage – as "the problem from hell". And, he went on, "frankly, it's not a problem that can be solved".•

This was pioneered by the US , it is what compromised Iraq's air defense systems in Desert Storm 1990. An electromagnetic pulse is the least of anyone's worries when failure on demand is built in to everything already.


• At the Black Hat security conference in August last year, for example, a researcher named Jonathan Brossard demonstrated software that can be burned into the hardware of a PC, creating a back door that would allow secret remote access over the internet. And – here's the really scary bit – the secret entrance couldn't even be closed by switching off the computer's hard disk or reinstalling its operating system. •

" Brazil announced that it will be building a 3,500-mile fiber-optic cable to Portugal in order to avoid the grip of the NSA. What’s more , they announced that not a penny of the $185 million expected to be spent on the project will go to American firms , simply because they don’t want to take any chances that the US government will tap the system. Brazil has banned the use of Microsoft technologies in all government offices , something that was also done in China earlier this year. Brazil’s rejection of American IT products alone , it is estimated will lose American firms over $35 billion in revenue over the next two years."
• Quoted from here _
http://www.sovereignman.com/personal-privacy/brazil-builds-i...

Given that American and Swiss banks have colluded to manipulate currency exchange rates to skim the increased costs they created , economic expionage is a reality that warrants action too prevent future theft. The U.S. is no longer trustworthy and having lost the confidence of other nations , that will never be recovered.

I know they have to try something, because it makes no sense to just hand over all their intel to a foreign government, but I think that's just political posturing.
My reasoning?
Because that worked so well for the USSR in the 1970s. Operation Ivy Bells, anyone?
