Systemic Resistance to NSA Scrutiny Digs In


Like an immune system responding to the attack of a pathogen the body of the 21st Century American fascist state is rapidly working to repel growing threats to its existence. Like so many white blood cells the state media and the corrupt agents of a completely compromised political system are swarming. As the outrage grows (at least outside the borders of this cloistered colony of idiots and sheep) the responses from the protectors of the establishment react to neutralize the threats. While Congress is expected to “grill” surveillance state leaders on the rancid hill will summon the high command of Obama’s Stasi - General Keith Alexander, Director of National Intelligence and known liar James Clapper and others for a staged display meant to put on a jolly good show that there still exists a system and checks and balances. Such concepts are quaint remnants of a past in which we were probably never truly as “free” as advertised but more so than in the surveillance/police state of the post 9/11 Homeland. That the very offenders of the system, who have shat upon the Constitution are to testify before a committee that is lead by the ultra-fascist Mike Rogers, after he just spent his weekend touring the media outlets and defending the same NSA is an obvious and blatant farce.

The stories of the NSA spying on foreign leaders, German Chancellor Angela Merkel in particular carry more clout than just playing peeping tom on millions of law-abiding American citizens who are largely viewed as useless eaters by the elite who run the system for their own benefit. International leaders, especially “allies” who are pissed off that they are being spied on can potentially muck up lucrative trade pacts and cost the pigs on Wall Street money so their concerns must be addressed, at least cosmetically. While the Obama administration continues to lie, obstruct and change the subject to the Obamacare website clusterf**k it is of more than of passing some note that none other than Dianne Feinstein, a hard core militarist who has served as a firewall of cellulite when it comes to NSA snooping programs has come out now and expressed obviously fake concern over the international surveillance. But of course she is full of crap and anyone who has been watching her fully understands this.

Feinstein, moving to cover her own ample backside is much making noise about a review of NSA programs – don’t hold your breath over what is to be a standard whitewash. There will be some form of Orwellian pushing of intelligence “reform” which of course will be just another big government lie. Like with the September 11, 2001 attacks, no heads will roll over this debacle because all involved are protected by the system. Sure, General Alexander will be stepping down but the damage has already been done with the implementation of this monstrosity of a high tech surveillance behemoth. He will suck the tax payer funded teat for a huge retirement package, free health care and supplement that income with gigs as an “expert” guest on FOX or CNN where he will make big money defending the snooping cash cow and the trillions of dollars that are funneled into campaign contributors by it. Americans should be pretty much used to paying for their own enslavement by now, the humiliating body searches by government TSA thugs in airports and the constant beat of FEAR and surrendering civil liberties to be kept safe has pretty much become internalized - and keep in mind, the youngest generation has never known a world other than this one.
The fabricated hearings aside the pocket media machine is busily churning out excuses and distractions, some of which are Can Merkel really be Surprised that the NSA spied on her? which covers the ‘everybody does it’ line of thinking. There is also the at least partially believable ‘out of the loop’ stories about Obama just not knowing what was really going on. While I personally think that one is total bullshit I also find Barry to be an abject incompetent, detached and content to float above it all while leaving aides like Valerie Jarrett to control access. The same excuse was used to insulate dear leader from the Obamacare website fiasco but this line would seem to mean that he is incompetent, that the emperor indeed has no clothes yet serves as a valid defense against what should be an impeachable series of offenses over the rogue NSA Stasi. It is all spin however and the spinning continues as it always does when the beltway elitists and their courtiers circle the wagons.

While I have yet to see it seriously brought up (but have no doubt that  it’s coming soon) other than by NSA Commandant Alexander there will be a propaganda front opened suggesting that the government criminalize reporting. What better way to defend actual criminals than to use the hijacked system to make any challenge of them the real crime? This is already being advanced rapidly across the pond with our friends over in the U.K. Brit leader David Cameron joins Generalissimo Keith Alexander in declaring war on the press over NSA reporting. In a Guardian story about the red coat vendetta against the Guardian Cameron issues a warning that going forward that the media must self-censor itself (much like the corrupt U.S. based counterpart does) and  that “if they don't demonstrate some social responsibility it would be very difficult for government to stand back and not to act."  The piece also includes this statement from another Brit paper –“The Sun quoted a "top surveillance source" as saying that terrorists had "gone quiet" after the publication of details about NSA and GCHQ operations.”  It is lamentable that Americans of today can't make the simple historical connection in that the founding fathers had a reason for rebelling against those bastards in the first place.

The excuse that “terrorists” had “gone quiet” is asinine, any real terrorist already understands that they are under constant surveillance and at the end of the day the phony war on terror has always been a war against those free citizens who dare to challenge a corrupt and out of control power structure. Maybe Cameron’s government should just begin attracting sycophantic, egomaniac careerists with access to high state cocktail parties and preferential treatment – it has done wonders in The Homeland, just look at a guy like David Gregory. Back in the day of Operation Mockingbird where it was revealed that the CIA had plants at most influential news outlets in the country one agency employee famously commented that – “You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl”. With todays presstitutes the price is likely far less. Thirty pieces of silver is so passé when all that a lapdog really desires is an occasional scratch on the belly by his owners.

Obama Should Be Impeached for NSA Run Amok


“I began by telling the president that there was a cancer growing on the presidency and that if the cancer was not removed the president himself would be killed by it”

Nixon aide John Dean

I continue to look for the outrage within the political establishment, especially with the diehard Obama haters in the Republican party over the rampaging run amok NSA and the global surveillance. Not only have our civil liberties as Americans been desecrated but the Constitution has become, exactly as George W. Bush so famously tabbed it “just a goddamned piece of paper”. We essentially have no privacy rights and the government has been lying for years about the invasive data-mining and storage for ominous future usage of personal communications, credit and websites visited by law abiding Americans. Again where the hell is the outrage? If the GOP wants a real reason to finally mount Barry’s head on a pike here it is, Slick Willie was impeached for far less. Congressman Grand Theft Auto, Darrell Issa made the following remark on Obama's NSA in this piece in the Guardian - "Remember, the NSA works for the president. Through his national security advisers he knew or should have known" - but he is all talk and no action, nowhere to be found conducting one of his inquisitions when it isn't for show. Darrell could be a star if he started the impeachment hearings over Obama's NSA - but he won't. He is part of the club.

Obama is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors for allowing the NSA surveillance to continue and grow exponentially on his watch, hell he constantly lies about it to protect the criminals within the system. This is not some bullshit Benghazi conspiracy mongering, nor more political carping over a disastrous rollout of an abominable corporate insurance parasite friendly health care “reform” scam. This is real, not only are the rights of American citizens being trampled but ongoing revelations of the extent of our fascist deep state operations monitoring the communications of world leaders - our freaking allies for God’s sake is doing enormous damage to the national image and squandering whatever credibility had been accumulated, earned hard by those who gave their lives in past wars all for naught.  Hard core American fascists such as House Intelligence honcho Mike Rogers can primp and pontificate for the cameras spewing nonsense like this for CNN per the above linked Guardian piece -

"I would argue by the way, if the French citizens knew exactly what that was about, they would be applauding and popping champagne corks," he said. "It's a good thing – it keeps the French safe."
Going further, Rogers claimed that the emergence of fascism in Europe in the early 20th century could be partly explained by a conscious decision by the US not to monitor its allies.

"We said: 'We're not going to do any kinds of those things, that would not be appropriate," he said. "Look what happened in the 30s: the rise of fascism, the rise of communism, the rise of imperialism. We didn't see any of it. And it resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people."

Godwin’s Law aside because it was brought up by Rogers who never bothers to mention that the rise of Hitler’s Nazis did not exactly take place in a vacuum hidden away from public view. There were years of warning signs of what was coming, pogroms, demagogic rallies and the man did after all write a book entitled Mein Kampf in which he laid out exactly what was to become of the Jews. Rogers is a liar and a delusional paranoid authoritarian at that. Invoking the European fascist regimes of the past as justification for the current domestic fascism is hogwash. My grandfather risked his life fighting against scum like Rogers and his ilk and so did the grandfathers and great grandfathers of millions of Americans who are having that for which they sacrificed all stolen away by men like him. And men like Obama for that matter, a war criminal who has nicely grown into all of the vileness that the men who occupy that office have come to stand for.  He should be impeached and removed from office because in any society where the rule of law actually meant something other than to borrow from the late Hunter S. Thompson allow the establishment to push for  ”.. the systematic destruction of everything this country claims to stand for except the rights of the rich to put saddles on the backs of the poor and use public funds to build jails for anybody who complained about it.”

Bill Clinton was impeached over lying about a blow job yet Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid failed to use their majority to do likewise to Bush for the torture state and illegal wars of aggression nor was there any support for such a thing from all of the elitists on either side of the proverbial aisle. By failing to impeach Bush a climate of lawlessness and unaccountable crooked conduct was established and it has served to embolden Obama. The abuses will be far worse under his successor who might do more than just spy upon the population, his replacement may act upon that information that has been gathered and is just sitting out in a monster data storage facility in the Utah desert.

None of this is going to stop until the day that these high officials are brought under control and held accountable by the law – whatever remains of it and Obama would be damned good start, as the old Democrat Harry Truman was famous for saying “the buck stops here” and the top offender is sitting in Harry’s old office.

This is neither liberal nor conservative, those labels lose more meaning by the minute given the level of systemic corruption - this is about right or wrong.
