Among the ironies of President Obama trying to sell us the NSA domestic spying program is that Government surveillance was used against the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. in an attempt to destroy him & stop the Civil Rights movement. Had the the FBI, succeeded, Obama might never have been president. Juan Cole Our leaders pretend that preventing even a single terrorist attack is so important that they have to kidnap & torture people-including many they knew were innocent, invade Iraq & Afghanistan, establish a system of mass surveillance on hundreds of millions of innocent people all over the world, assassinate civilians anywhere in the world-including Americans & children, & have the authority to secretly indefinitely detain Americans in military prisons without due process. That condemning US foreign policy is material support for terrorism & that revealing evidence of unconstitutional activities by Government officials is treason. That they & they alone can decide what Americans have the right to know. They expect us to believe that though they have already abused their new powers-it was not intentional & we can trust them. That its okay for our Government to override the US Constitution because they are doing it to keep us safe. Is al Qaeda more dangerous than the old Soviet Union? Why do we have to give up our rights now? People who fear Government tyranny must have something to hide or be crackpots or crackheads. When the US Government decided to keep Americans under surveillance & to gather & store our personal information including-our communications-it stopped being a Constitutional Republic. It stopped being a representative government... Congress, the Courts-including a secret Kangaroo FISA Court, Government officials & contractors, & our Presidents decided to invade our homes & organizations, spy on our private lives, & trample on our rights-instead of protecting them. Thats a big step in the direction of totalitarianism. Principles NOT Parties “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated... The Founders proposed the Fourth Amendment to end once and for all suspicionless searches & seizures of Americans’ personal property and information. We now know that for some years our government has collected private information about our communications—and in many cases, the communications themselves. The government does this despite the fact that it suspects us of no wrongdoing. Nothing the President said today will end the unconstitutional invasion of Americans’ privacy. Representative Justin Amash US Government Criminals say: Stop Snitchin Edward Snowden! Representative Mike J. Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee smeared Snowden as a “thief” & claimed he may have had help from Russia. Representative Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he thinks Snowden was “cultivated by a foreign power.” Senator Dianne Feinstein, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said, “I dont look at [Snowden] as being a whistleblower. I think its an act of treason, He violated the oath, he violated the law.” Representative Peter King, who sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, said, he believes Snowden is a “traitor or a defector” for providing The Guardian with documents & The New York Times “an accomplice.” I think hes a traitor. I think - I hope we can catch him at some point, and that he receives the justice he deserves. Notorious war criminal former Vice President Dick Cheney.
