Obama Signs "Advisory" Executive Order On Cybersecurity


The push for the total surveillance society continues with El Presidente just signing another one of his decrees Friday to push for corporations to “share” data with the federal government. Obama paid a visit to Silicon Valley for a public relations exercise called the “White House summit on Cybersecurity and Consumer Protection” at Stanford University to sell the latest attack on civil liberties. This has been coming ever since the alleged North Korean involvement in the Sony hack that to this day has never been backed up by evidence. The allegations accompanied the holiday media frenzy over the movie The Interview. The whole thing smacked of a false flag operation from the beginning with the end result being the imposition of the latest version of CISPA (The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) on the American public.

As reported by The Washington Post in a story entitled “Obama signs executive order on sharing cybersecurity threat information”:

President Obama signed an executive order Friday that urges companies to share cybersecurity-threat information with one another and the federal government.
Obama signed the order, which is advisory in nature, at the first White House summit on Cybersecurity and Consumer Protection at Stanford University here. The summit, which focused on public-private partnerships and consumer protection, is part of a recent White House push to focus on cybersecurity.

Obama said the prospect of cyberattacks are one of the nation's most pressing national security, economic and safety issues. The specter of a cyberattack crippling the nation's air traffic control system or a city with a blackout is real, and hacks such as the one on Sony Pictures last year are "hurting America's companies and costing American jobs." He also said they are a threat to the security and well-being of children who are online.

There is a word for the merger of state and corporate power and that word is fascism.  The push to get corporations to effectively meld with a government gone rogue and drunk on accumulating ever more power in the post 9/11 era is exactly that. Despite all of the controversy over the leaks by former government contractor turned NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden there still have been no serious efforts made to slap any oversight on the unconstitutional surveillance programs.

If anything, even more sneaky ways to circumvent accountability have been implemented and Obama’s big cybersecurity drive is one of them. It is not that there isn’t a legitimate need to have intelligence agencies going after real terrorists and they should have the tools to do so. However, the Bush and Obama regimes have gone completely over the line by snooping on millions of law abiding Americans without so much as a warrant and continuing to lie about it all.

While Obama’s executive order is of an “advisory” nature and the real damage needs to be done by the criminals in congress it is a foregone conclusion that a bill will inevitably find its way to Barry’s desk.

Obama Pimps Cybersecurity Bill and Further Gutting of the Constitution


Despite his enduring historic infamy at least Adolf Hitler was somewhat upfront with the Germans as he sowed the seeds of the destruction of their country. This is not the case with Emperor Barack Obama, a peerless con artist and snake oil salesman with as much an aversion to the truth as he has contempt for the Constitution. Obama was always hailed as a Constitutional law professor by the flacks, shills and propagandists who sold the schmucks on hope and change and his Harvard pedigree would seem to back that. However, given the ongoing dismantling of our no longer quite so free country it isn’t that much of a reach to consider that his expertise was sought for a reason. That reason being that he knows the weak points and blind spots to attack in order to complete the job of undermining a once vibrant democracy and is vigorously doing so.

In a story that will thrill the fascists in the government who have declared total war on the American people since 9/11, Dear Leader is now hard at work pushing the latest assault on privacy rights. As Reuters reports in a story entitled “Obama turns focus to Internet security, privacy”:

President Barack Obama will highlight plans next week to protect American consumers and businesses from cyber threats, a month after the most high-profile hacking attack on a U.S. company.

Internet security became a national focus after a cyberattack on Sony Pictures that Washington blamed on North Korea. The attack and subsequent threats of violence against theaters prompted Sony to scale back its release of "The Interview", a comedy film that depicts the fictional assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

A White House official said on Saturday Obama would announce legislative proposals and executive actions that will be part of his Jan. 20 State of the Union address and will tackle identity theft and privacy issues, cybersecurity and broadband access.

On Monday, Obama will present plans "to improve confidence in technology by tackling identity theft and improving consumer and student privacy" in a visit to the Federal Trade Commission, the official said, on condition of anonymity.

Obama will host members of Congress from both parties on Tuesday to discuss common goals for the economy and national security, the official said, as the Democratic president prepares a speech that will be his first to the U.S. Congress since Republicans won the Senate in November elections.

This coincides with the reintroduction of the 4th Amendment destroying CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) by Democrat Dutch Ruppersberger of Ft. Meade, MD last week. Despite the stunning revelations of the mass surveillance of Americans by the NSA Stasi, the feds, the whores in Congress and the trillion dollar surveillance state Gomorrah that keeps them elected are more determined than ever to invade the privacy of Americans. There will sadly be no resistance from a fearful and dumbed down public – there never is anymore.

There was no way that the United States of America would ever be conquered by a foreign force despite the horseshit that is always preached by the charlatans in order to keep the cash cow that is the Global War on Terror (GWOT) alive. The only way that America was ever going to fall was from within and the termites within the bureaucracy of the federal government - led by Obama - continue to chew away at the pillars.
