Citing Secret Report Fascist Rogers Claims Snowden Aided Terrorists

In the manner befitting the defenders of the NSA mass surveillance programs House Intelligence Committee head Mike Rogers has now accused former government contractor turned NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden of putting our blessed troops in danger. Rogers and his crony Congressman Dutch Reppersberger (D-Md)  whose district just happens to contain Fort Meade where the the American Stasi headquarters are located used a secret Pentagon report to back their latest media crusade against reforming the fascist spying colossus. Not only are they accusing Snowden of putting our heroic imperial stormtroopers in danger but have like the criminally inclined Michael Hayden come out and hung the traitor label on the man and are now escalating the government's war on accountability by alleging that Snowden helped "terrorists" as well. The conflict of interest ridden Reppersberger who has no place sitting on any serious investigative panel given his close proximity to NSA HQ declared “Snowden handed terrorists a copy of our country’s playbook and now we are paying the price, which this report confirms”. He is at least partially correct in that fascists who are running this data-mining show view all who challenge their power, especially American citizens with a respect for transparency and the Constitution are indeed "terrorists". This is the way that it works in any authoritarian state run by dangerous control freaks and let's face it, these NSA surveillance programs have never been about actual terrorism prevention anyway, they have been able to prove that they have stopped on single plot against American interests. They are now and have from their inception been about crushing domestic political opposition that gets in the way of their ongoing criminality and consolidation of power.

Not only is the NSA spying on everyone, hoarding and storing data in their Utah facility as well as a location where the Main Core database containing information on political troublemakers (left and right alike), civil libertarians, writers, lawyers, intellectuals and all else who defend the constitution but readying for when the day that The Last Roundup is authorized. This will be when all of Rogers and Reppersberger's "terrorists" will be dealt with, likely when the economic collapse inevitably comes as the current system is unsustainable or perhaps sooner as their fellow traitors in the U.S. Senate are dangerously close to undermining the P5+1 Iran talks and pushing the country into one final, ruinous war. Rest assured that is is coming though and given past history all of what are mocked as tin-foil hat style "conspiracy theories" about internment camps should perhaps be given a bit more of a serious bit of consideration given the existance of  programs that have already been revealed and the zeal to defend them. Mr. Obama plans to announce "reforms" to the surveillance programs this coming Friday but they will be largely cosmetic and as effective at restoring a system of checks and balances, the rights of Americans to not be subjected to unreasonable searches and the future of this country as a band aid on a sucking chest wound.

Rogers has already used every opportunity provided to him by the corrupt media to attack Snowden, defend the unconstitutional surveillance of millions of law-abiding Americans but Reppersberger has not had quite the media prominence. Notably per his bio he is that he is a member of the so-called Gang of Eight, a powerful of congressional leaders which has an inordinate level of control over legislative policy and is an affront to the Constitution, not that the document matters to any of the elected representatives who are supposed represent the people but instead enrich themselves at the expense of the republic. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates' book "Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War" has the beltway punditry and the other arms of the state-corporate media atwitter over his jabs at the cunning Barack Obama and the boob Joe Biden but it has been largely played down that some of his most withering salvos are directed at the U.S. Congress, an enemy of the American people if there ever were one.  Gates vents appropriately at the cancer that has metastasized throughout the legislative branch:

"I saw most of Congress as uncivil, incompetent at fulfilling their basic constitutional responsibilities (such as timely appropriations), micromanagerial, parochial, hypocritical, egotistical, thin-skinned and prone to put self (and re-election) before country."

Yes indeed, that part about putting self "before country" especially applies to the renegade Senate bloc that continues to grow in number and is about to act to eradicate any chance of normalized, non-hostile relations with the new moderate regime in Iran. This would for the first time since the CIA backed 1953 overthrow of democratically elected Iranian leader Mohammad Mosaddeq that hostilities can be dialed down and U.S. business interests could benefit from a new market and open trade with the country. But the meddlesome Saudis and right-wing Israelis cannot tolerate that under any circumstances. The Kingdom's pull on U.S. foreign policy due to being a major source of oil would be torpedoed by improved relations with Tehran and an increasingly malevolent Israeli nationalist state led by the unstable Netanyahu would lose face along with his desired destiny as the historical equivalent of the sainted Sir Winston Churchill. Both are frantically working behind the scenes to support the Senate traitors that Gates exposed as venal, disloyal rats. For the record Gates also “worried about the influence of the Israelis and the Saudis in the White House… and their desire to have problems like Iran ‘taken care of’ while Bush was still president.” Bush eventually distanced himself from Cheney's sway and having to this point failed to suck Obama into an attack on Iran the focus has obviously turned to Congress.

Rogers and Reppersberger must be salivating at the prospect of another war, this time a damned big one that will unlike Iraq and Afghanistan require appeals to the public for sacrifices to support the war effort. Perhaps as the conflagration grows and the body count mounts, when conditions deteriorate to the point that Russia and China become involved that there will be a renewed effort to begin conscription for the first time since the Vietnam war era. A national military draft would do much to solve the ongoing problem of joblessness and the NSA will ensure that those who would oppose the restoration of mandatory military service (with the exception of the children and grandchildren of the wealthy and the U.S. Congress) will have been silenced.

Renegade Senate Preps to Deliver Iran War for 2014

Working largely on the behalf of a foreign power an unprecedented U.S. Senate power play is about to drag the United States into what is to be a ruinously costly and potentially catastrophic war with Iran. In the latest and to this point most serious effort to sabotage the P5+1 talks with Iran on limiting nuclear programs in exchange for easing of sanctions the U.S. Congress is now preparing to act against the long term safety and security interests of the American people in ensuring that war will be coming. The effort is led by the normal rat pack of warmongering swine the likes of John McCain, Lindsey Graham , the callow and opportunistic Marco Rubio, Wall Street’s very own Chuck Schumer and the Texas Zamboni Ted Cruz being the most vocal and media accessible shills for WW III. The bill itself, a piece of trash being pimped under the name of the Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act ensures that there will be the exact type of additional sanctions applied that the Iranian’s have stated would end the negotiations. 

Christ knows that we certainly could never enter into any sort of rational and normal sort of relationship with the oil rich Iran allowing the U.S. to tell the degenerate, terrorist supporters in the House of Saud to go and pound sand. Hell, when fifteen of the nineteen September 11, 2001 hailed from The Kingdom the biggest question that should be asked is why did Bush attack Afghanistan and Iraq instead of Riyadh.But the constantly carping Saudis, led by Prince Bandar bin Sultan (aka Bandar Bush) aren’t the most meddlesome in the Iran provocations, they have already destabilized Syria by funding Islamic militants and then watching as their efforts to have Barry and the boys start a war that would primarily benefit them go up like a flaming bag of dogshit.

The real problem with the now extremely dangerous push to start the long agitated for Iran debacle is of course the right-wing regime of Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu. This has been the case for too long now and to this point has been the one grave mistake that the corrupt, incompetent and psychopathic regimes in Washington haven’t made. It was looking like a go back during the Bush regime but Dubya wisely overruled Dick Cheney on this one and Obama became president and Bibi Netanyahu became Prime Minister of Israel in 2009. Despite his constant hysteria, bullying, allies within the U.S. media and political system and ridiculous drawings of cartoon bombs at the United Nations Netanyahu has thus far been unable to push the U.S. into waging the war that he lacks the balls to carry out on his own, sending his own people into the meat grinder instead of American servicemen and women.

Now that has all changed as desperation oozes Bibi's pores for a peace deal with Iran would mean that he is only Sir Winston Churchill in his own warped mind. Netanyahu has shed any pretenses of rationality and a respect for letting the government that pumps billions of dollars of taxpayer money (largely military aid)into his country every year in mobilizing his stooges in Congress. The “Nuclear Free Weapon Iran Act” is the lovechild of a bipartisan coalition (notice how well they all get along when it comes to murdering non-white, non-Christian people?) led by New Jersey Senator Robert Mendez and Illinois Senator Mark Kirk who according to comments made via telephone to a private audience revealed who his true constituents are. Kirk regularly receives a boatload of money from AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) which is mounting an all out offensive to slap deal-killing sanctions on Iran and put the U.S. on a path to war. Menendez, who is the chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee and I do put the emphasis on "foreign" as according to the website Open Secrets led all members of the Senate in receiving payola from Israeli interest groups for 2012.  He also has a had a rather interesting recent run in with a prostitution scandal of the type that would make a member of this rotten congress susceptible to the type of sexual blackmail that could influence voting.  The big push for the Menendez-Kirk 'Screw America" bill has caused consternation to the point where an open letter from ten committee chairs - including DiFI - was sent to Senate Majority Leader and Democrat party poobah Harry Reid warning explicitly of the threat to the Iran talks and even the feckless Obama has threatened a veto. With 26 "bipartisan" co-sponsors, the lobbying might of AIPAC and Bibi's continued demagoguery this thing is going to pass early next year. Palmetto State Princess Lindsay Graham has her panties in a wad over a promised "veto proof majority". Jesus, wouldn't it be nice to see this venal pack of assholes manage 67 votes for something that benefits America.

The renegade Senate managed to slither out of D.C. for their latest taxpayer paid vacation prior to getting their dirty deal done but rest assured that it will be at the top of the list come January when they return. The deranged Netanyahu is hellbent at punching his ticket with history and dragging Americans along on the descent into hell.  This Reuters article lets slip that any facade that hid his meddling in congress and concealing his control of U.S. politicians is now no longer important to the 'new Churchill':

Taking even wider aim, Netanyahu said negotiators should demand a change to Iran's "genocidal policy" toward Israel, manifested through its supply of thousands of missiles to Palestinian and Lebanese militants, and its calls for the Jewish state's destruction.

The wish list has received a cool reception in Washington, will be given short shrift by Iran and was described as "crazy" by a senior Western diplomat. But experts believe the Israeli leader wants to put pressure on President Barack Obama and prevent U.S.-Iranian ties from thawing too far, too fast.

One way to do that would be to send a message to Israel's supporters on Capitol Hill. The Senate has already sparred with Obama over whether new sanctions against Iran should be prepared.

A former Netanyahu adviser, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said U.S. legislators were Netanyahu's target audience.

"It's one thing for Congress to hold off on imposing sanctions, quite another for it to cancel sanctions under a final deal with Iran. Netanyahu wants to help set the tone in Congress and he doesn't mind if Obama notices."

There is a growing sense in Washington that Netanyahu has accepted it is unlikely he can derail the negotiations, so he may have reverted to spoiling tactics, however unpopular they may be in Obama's administration.

"I can't believe the Americans are happy about (Netanyahu) sounding off the way he is at this critical point in time," said one Israeli official, who has direct knowledge of recent White House consultations between U.S. and Israeli experts on Iran.

The United States views engagement with the new, relatively moderate government in Iran as a chance to defuse more than three decades of tensions.

While the piece accurately (and surprisingly) fingers Bibi for mustering his cats paws in congress it fails to note that the reference to " defuse more than three decades of tensions" in Iran are the result of the CIA backed 1953 coup against the democratically elected leader Mohammad Mossadegh and led to the reign of terror of the  U.S. puppet Shah of Iran and his torture regime. The state-corporate media's greatest lies are those of omission and perhaps there is no greater of an omission than a discussion of Israel's own nuclear weapons when it comes to the invocation of the Iran's nukes. Given the increasingly fascistic track that Netanyahu's country has placed itself on as well as it's extreme and unstable leadership would it not be the safest course for the planet to ensure that neither Iran nor Israel had a nuclear weapons capability?

With the Senate now gone fully rogue with no aspersions of any longer concealing who and what they truly represent (it ain't America folks) we now enter a truly perilous time in history. With it fully obvious that none of the Menendez-Kirk jihadists have ever been made subject to the Foreign Agents Registration Act and are hellbent on self-immolation for the sake of a foreign country the future is bleak.  The collapse that has to this point been put off is coming now and all Americans need to consider what they need to do in order to protect themselves and their families.
