2013 (v2)

 

THE GUARDIAN--The National Security Agency is currently collecting the telephone records of millions of US customers of Verizon, one of America's largest telecoms providers, under a top secret court order issued in April.

The order, a copy of which has been obtained by the Guardian, requires Verizon on an "ongoing, daily basis" to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the US and between the US and other countries.

The document shows for the first time that under the Obama administration the communication records of millions of US citizens are being collected indiscriminately and in bulk – regardless of whether they are suspected of any wrongdoing.

 

“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking [2013].” --George Orwell, 1984

I would be willing to bet that the conversations between the White House, congressmen, bankers and various FBI and CIA personnel contain material that in all probability would be conisdered illegal, vile and contrary to the interests of the US as a nation.

"Who is monitoring them?"

Not our press, that's for sure.

It is precisely because Congress is so thoroughly monitored that they are so passive these days.

They dare not talk of impeachment ... the system will destroy them.

I'm sure these types of transmissions are coded mesages, or atleast using private communication channels.

When will people realize that they can't say or send any information without it being monitored? When will they start encoding their private information? Atleast people could try to start making it difficult to interpret perhaps.

That's a huge noose, but it's still not big enough for some of the fat heads that rule lower Manhattan.

It is a huge irony to me that this statue, dedicated to the concept of Liberty, is across the Hudson from some of the worst despots living on the the planet.  We are deep into "can't make this shit up" territory.  George Orwell would love the irony as it fits perfectly into "1984".

Keep reposting WB7!  It is absofuckinglootly top grade combat art.  Everyone "gets it" instantly.

The strong among us will show up on a list. If your search patterns are logical and connected, if you are inquisitive, if you touch the grey border of the truth as it interfaces with the "black", you will ping more, accumulating more points, you will be interesting to the 'bots. This will result in YOU eventually rising to the level of human reviewed lists. You become a Person of Interest. The more efficiently you use your recording devices, the higher your score. So if you're a good guesser, have a feel for the truth, if you interest the machine, and, eventually, the human users, when you "mark" to a model... you're a terrorist and they kill you.

Glad I'm near the end of my life.  I pity the coming generations who still 'believe' in all this country claims to represent.   

Learned what a fraud it all was at West Point a long time ago - 40% of my class quit, disillusioned that the reality wasn't close to the ideal.   BTW,  Petraeus was one of the few that stayed and made it a career.  Married the Commandant's daughter (the marriage may have been a wise move politically and career-wise but the infidelity... not so much so - stupid actually).

Thye far right tin hat guys calling Obama a Manchurian Candidate may have been closer to the truth than anyone wants to admit. Mom's family seems to have close ties to the CIA.....   and maybe Barry Soweto was doing company work......     seems like every Peresident since Carter has links to the company - look up Mena, Arkansas for Clinton... the rest are self-evident.

Clinton was up to his balls, or Lewiski, in Iran-Contra and was working with Bush I. Shit they were acquaintances/friends. Give the book "Compromised" by Barry Seal a read. Gives a new meaning to Bush I breaking his "no new taxes" "pledge."

Obama IS CIA and is running their fascist program for their fascist masters. Look at what he has actually done not what he says. He makes Bush Jr. Look tame.

How do you get NAFTA thru a "Dem." Congress, a Congress that knows that it is undermining itself in doing so? You use a "Dem." president to support and push it. How do you get really a fascist money and tax grab like Obamacare thru a "Dem." Congress, a Congress that knows that it is undermining itself in doing so? You use a "Dem." president to support and push it. Shit, the "Repubs." even came out with a "contract"/"pledge" to the American people both times the "Dem." Congress got pounded in the next election.

Currently there is a power struggle going on between the CIA and Pentagon. The CIA wants to diminish the power the Pentagon garnered during Iraq II and Afghanistan and the Pentagon wants to pay the CIA back for the Petreus thing. I'm not sure how Bengazi fits in, but the CIA did have a Pentagon head when it happened and he was "out" not too long later.

Watch their mouth pieces, NYT (CIA), Washington Post (Pentagon), for what "news" and scandals break and you will begin to see the "tit-for-tat." Or put another way, who do you think is "breaking" all these current scandals against Obama if the propaganda media is so compromised and controlled?

One sees the same tit-for-tat in the Pentagon Papers and Watergate.

One has to keep in mind that we, the people and the producers, are who all of these scumbags live off of. As such we are the prize AND the enemy of all of their "games without frontiers."

It's all lies to us and money and power to them.

For those still fooled into following the wavy lines of left\right dialectical deception...

it needs be understood ...

On April 20, 1996 (Hitler's birthday) PresidentialPuppet Clinton signed the Anti-Terrorism Act ("for the protection of the people and the state"...while, a month earlier, the mysterious Louis Freeh had informed Congress of his plans for expanded wiretapping by his secret police. Clinton:

"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans." AND  "A lot of people say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it."

there is no "political process" by which to filter the machinations of the terror-talmudist CON-tinuum... only shadow puppet presentations of a theater of the absurd....

like some kind of demented KrustytheKlown dedicated to keepin on keepin on... even though... the ratings of his show have sunk below the pollable limits...the Merikan mind-controlled minion...(truly... the Manchurian Candidate writ large)remains hypnotized with the expectation that somehow... someway... things will still turn out OK!

Since the events of WACO TEXAS... there has been no "constitution" no "amendment rights" and no freedom of dissent.. Louis Freeh and Janet Reno told y'all so... but you refused to listen...

Even when the untold hero Timoth McVeigh tried to push it into your face to see...

Edye Smith(who lost two children in the Murrah Building)  noted that of 17 people on the ninth floor, ATF bureau, none suffered casualties ... indeed they seemed not to have come to work that day. And you still aren't sure bout whether 9-11 and the Boston Hoax were really real>?

McVeigh chose June 10th with an eye to the largest mass killing of Mericans(WACO)to have occurred since a bunch of other Merikans got hammered at Wounded Knee. But what I want to know is... did TMcV also know that June 10th was the anniversary of JFKs Merikan University speech... wherein he formally broke with the moneypower controllers and invited his own death therein? http://www.jfklibrary.org/Asset-Viewer/BWC7I4C9QUmLG9J6I8oy8w.aspx

June 10 2013... 50 years after the last time a Merikan "President" tried to buck BnaiBrith...

You all 'lethally injected' with a pervasive mindcontrol toxin which will destroy your power to rebel less you take to the streets right bout now! Taksim Square... your last wake up call.

edit... could mention of "BnaiBrith" be the trigger which brought the ZH house down>? Got the screen shot dudes!

"I have, therefore, chosen this time and place to discuss a topic on which ignorance too often abounds and the truth too rarely perceived. And that is the most important topic on earth: peace. What kind of peace do I mean and what kind of a peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, and the kind that enables men and nations to grow, and to hope, and build a better life for their children -- not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women, not merely peace in our time but peace in all time."

And as we head within mere days to the brink of yet other foreign intervention against a phony enemy... put forward by our phony friends...[as operation "Eager Lion" brings armed contingents from all the sionist satrapies together in Jordan]it requires little imagination to understand that Kennedy was speaking directly to the MIC and sionist entity whose quest for nuclear armaments he opposed... at the same time as being the last Merikan leader to speak directly to all the people of this earth... about a common desire for peace ... as opposed to war. Don't be fooled into thinking that this was not a radical statement of intent! Any Merikan\western 'leader' making it today would be howled out of office. By the usual suspects who now control your  media, your government... and you fate.

Yes... about the silver thing.., Executive Order 11110 AMENDMENT OF EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 10289... issued on June 4th... was a definite provocation of the moneypower... but the threat to contain the explosive aggression into south east asia... instead of letting slip loose the dogs of war... was an even more potent warning to the BnaiBrith controllers that he was going to go fully 'off reservation' ...they never even bothered to take the order off of the books. Every subsequent puppet president got the message loud n clear...

don't mess with the FED... and don't mess with it's headquarters in TelAviv.

This isn't about 'security' or 'protecting the populace' - it's about HOLDING ON TO POWER despite a history of botching 'security', intelligence, the economy and damn near everythign else over the past 60 years.
