Freedom Act head fake:
The NSA has not stopped spying on Americans…
and it never will
tapnewswire,com
There
are days I just shake my head in bewilderment at the astonishing,
almost incomprehensible gullibility of mainstream Americans and the
media that claims to be practicing intelligent journalism. When I see
the Associated Press report things like, “The NSA had stopped gathering
the records from phone companies hours before the deadline,” I’m almost
paralyzed with disbelief.
That’s their story, though. And they apparently believe it. See Either way, no more NSA collection of US phone records. Read the story yourself if you need a really good laugh at an example of extreme gullibility in the media.
What’s
so funny about that story? For starters, given that the NSA is a super
secret organization with ZERO oversight and a history of repeatedly
lying about what it’s really doing, how on Earth are we supposed to
believe the NSA when it says it suddenly stopped spying on Americans’
phone calls because it “lost the authority” it never recognized in the
first place?
Is the mainstream media really just taking the NSA’s
word that it has stopped spying on everybody because it no longer has
the “legal authority” to do so? There isn’t a single shred of evidence
that the NSA has
stopped any spying activities at all. Even more, the
Associated Press has no way to verify whether anything has been halted.
Trusting the NSA’s statement claiming it has halted its spying
activities is about as gullible as trusting Iran’s statements on how it
has halted its nuclear fuel enrichment program. Geesh… how hard is it
for people to understand that governments lie by default?
Grow up, America. The NSA was spying on us all long before it ever had any legal authority to do so,
and when the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper was asked
under oath, at a United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence,
about whether the NSA was spying on Americans, he outright lied over and over again, claiming no such spying was taking place.
So now, suddenly, we’re supposed to believe the NSA isn’t spying on us all merely because it says so?
Should we pull out our pinkies and do a pinky swear on it, too? Maybe we can be BFF as well?
The NSA recognizes no legal authority, period
It’s
just incredible that anyone would think the NSA’s activities are bound
by anything even resembling “legal authority.” The NSA does whatever the
hell it wants. And why does it do that? Because it can. Because they’ve
already gathered up all the records of U.S. Supreme Court judges and
they have enough emails, phone calls, web surfing history and search
engine history to blackmail practically everyone in Washington D.C. (and
everywhere else, for that matter).
“However Congress resolves
its impasse over government surveillance, this much is clear: The
National Security Agency will ultimately be out of the business of
collecting and storing Americans’ calling records,” says the Associated
Press. Yeah, right. In your crack-induced fairytale, maybe. But in the
real world of hardball politics and blackmail, any organization that has
the power to keep collecting all these records will absolutely keep
doing so unless and until it is physically forced to stop (i.e. shut off
the power, confiscate the servers and close the buildings).
And that’s never gonna happen, folks. Not by a long shot. The spy apparatus is far too valuable to ever be shut down. At best, it will pretend
to shut down long enough to shut up the public. But behind the scenes,
every single spy server dedicated to this task will continue as normal,
without interruption.
Sorry to have to say this so bluntly, but
anyone who believes the government is going to voluntarily stop spying
on the American people is a complete fool. The way these games are
really played is far beyond any recognition of “legal authority.”
For example, the NSA can simply take its entire spy operation, transfer
the assets to an NSA shell company in the Cayman Islands (without
actually moving the servers anywhere), rename it “NSB” and continue
operations as normal… all while testifying before Congress that, “The
NSA has halted all domestic surveillance operations.” Yep, it has! But NSB has resumed those operations, ha ha.
And
if NSB is ever unveiled, they can move it all to “NSC” and so on. The
spying never stops, folks. The only thing that changes is the name of
the spy organizations conducting it. Does any intelligent person
honestly think they’re going to voluntarily shut off all those billions
of dollars in servers and storage facilities they built for this
purpose? Ain’t gonna happen.
And the way you know this to be true
is to ask yourself this question: If you were the director of the
world’s most amazing intelligence gathering spy tool that operated
utterly without any boundaries or limitations whatsoever, would YOU shut it down?
Of course not. No one would. You’d use it precisely because it’s
powerful. It’s the Ring of Power from the Lord of the Rings. Almost no
human being has the moral integrity to voluntarily part with it. It’s so
PRECIOUSSSSS…
True American heroes: Edward Snowden and Rand Paul
Despite the ongoing spy activities of the NSA, it’s worth mentioning something hugely important in all this.
There
is only ONE Presidential candidate who has the courage to stand up
against the surveillance state and demand an end to these illegal
violations of Americans’ privacy. His name is Rand Paul.
As far
as I can tell, Rand Paul is the only candidate who has a spine. While
Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton are both total spy state insiders, Rand
Paul is risking not just his political career but even his own neck
to take a stand against the surveillance state. That’s historic. It’s
truly remarkable, and it may uniquely qualify Rand Paul to be the kind
of serious reformer who can take on Washington and knock some heads
around.
Edward Snowden is also, of course, the key hero in all this, and I strongly recommend you watch the documentary called Citizen Four
to gain a better understanding of Snowden’s contributions to privacy
and freedom in America. Edward Snowden has quite literally risked his
life — and forfeited his own personal freedom — to blow the whistle on
the illegal spying being conducted by the U.S. government on the citizens of America.
What should have happened immediately after Snowden’s shocking revelations was a nationwide movement of pissed off people marching in the streets against Orwellian government.
But what really happened instead was a nationwide movement of apathetic
sheeple turning on Oprah and munching down some Twinkies before
injecting themselves with insulin. In other words, nobody gave a damn
because they were too busy cowering in blind obedience and practicing
cowardice and conformity.
And so they all are getting the
government they deserve: an Orwellian spy state that enslaves them all.
This is what they are begging for, after all, when they are so gullible
that they’ll believe anything the government tells them. The same people
who believe the NSA magically stopped spying on them must also believe
the FDA protects the people, the DEA wants to eliminate the drug trade,
and the CDC is trying to eradicate infectious disease.
Wake up and smell reality, folks. None of these entities give a damn about the People. They all exist for only one purpose: to expand and assert their own power by any means necessary.
That’s the fundamental nature of organizational existence, and it’s
precisely why Big Government keeps getting bigger, badder and more
dangerous unless its power is somehow limited or halted by the People.
Hence the origins of the Bill of Rights in the first place, over two centuries ago.
We’ve
been down this road before, of course. This isn’t the first rise of
police state tyranny in the history of our world. And it certainly won’t
be the last...
