NSA Director Pines for Dictatorship

George Washington's picture




 

Things would sure be a lot easier for NSA boss Keith Alexander if we had a dictatorship. Alexander said:

I think it’s wrong that that newspaper reporters have all these documents, the 50,000—whatever they have and are selling them and giving them out as if these—you know it just doesn’t make sense.

We ought to come up with a way of stopping it. I don’t know how to do that. That’s more of the courts and the policymakers but, from my perspective, it’s wrong to allow this to go on ....

(The quote starts at 21:06. But it's worth watching this failed propaganda attempt from the beginning, to see the bizarre mix of bold-faced lies, pseudo-sincerity and New Age music.)

There's a little thing called the "Constitution" ... but Alexander doesn't believe in it.

If you don't count this as a veiled threat, please read this and this.

Global invasion of privacy and wholesale violation of civil liberties are like seat belts: they help us take care of our people and protect our toddlers.  See, I'm wearing one.

All of the military ZH'ers are conspicuously absent when one of their own is taking the piss.  Maybe he is a closet member of "Oathkeepers", and is just waiting for the opportune time to strike?

Oathkeepers, what a worthless group.  All bark and no bite.  Threaten ANY of them with a dishonorable discharge and watch them shut the fuck up real quick.

"Top Brass" are not "our own".

You want the military to do something? Talk to NCO's in the Air Force. Talk to Lieutenants and Captains in the Army.

Those are the ranks that are still people. Top brass is a whole different ball game, just like politicians. Do you think Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, John McCain, or any of those other charlatans can be considered "just like you"?

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely" arose as part of a quotation by the expansively named and impressively hirsute John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, first Baron Acton (1834–1902). The historian and moralist, who was otherwise known simply as Lord Acton, expressed this opinion in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887:

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."

Alexander the Great, Peter the Great, Caesar, and Napoleon spring immediately to mind. Complementarily, Ivan the Terrible is loved by many patriotic, educated Russians.

I don't agree that all great men are bad men. Cincinnatus was a great man. George Washington was a kickass fighter, respected by the Indians and Brits who went up against him. GW was as close as a true Cincinnatus as we could have hoped for. Ron Paul is a good man, many would even say a great man. I'm sure others could think of many more off the top.

lol, George Washington was a lot of things, but 'great fighter' was not one of them.

he retreated his way to victory.

hsi first post was built in a valley. the French promptly captured it, and sent him packing back east with a warning.

That's right.  And he ordered Alexander Hamilton while in his role as Secretary of the Treasury to quell the rebellion against the Whiskey Tax after the war.

And had revolutionary heros killed who were protesting the fact the government was not paying up the money they were promised after the war.

Fuck George Washington.

And for those who like speculative fiction.....may I suggest the novel the Probabilty Broach, by L. Neil Smith.  It posits a story where through time where Albert Gallatin, the longest running Secretary of Treasury in American History, convinces the army not to put down the rebellion but march on the nation's capital and execute Washington for treason and replace the Constitution with the Articles of Confederation.  The story is now set in modern times in the NAC....the North American Confederacy.

A graphic novel has been written and can be found in it's entirety here......

What is this free press that you talk about in the land of the free?  The CIA has always controlled the press starting in the 1950s with Operation Mockingbird:

Operation Mockingbird was a secret campaign by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to influence media. Begun in the 1950s, it was initially organized by Cord Meyer and Allen W. Dulles, it was later led by Frank Wisner after Dulles became the head of the CIA. The organization recruited leading American journalists into a network to help present the CIA's views, and funded some student and cultural organizations, and magazines as fronts. As it developed, it also worked to influence foreign media and political campaigns, in addition to activities by other operating units of the CIA. (from wiki)

In the early 1970s, at least 40% of the top journalists were on the CIA payroll.

Now the New York Times clears every story with the Pentagon.  One of the most startling of Snowden's revelations was that US shares raw data on all Americans (phone calls, emails, contacts, web browsing history) with Israel with no legal restrictions. But no US media would report it - not the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, ABC, CBS, NBC, or Fox. We have a press in name only in the land of the free and the home of the brave. No US media would have dared print Snowden's revelations first. But then again, since the NSA spies on everyone (Congress, Judges, White House, everyone), they must have dirt on every journalist.

The free press in these United States is more mythical than unicorns or democracy in the land of the free. It died decades ago.

The final nail in the coffin of the free press was when TPTB were allowed to consolidate the main stream media under the control of six major corporations mostly controlled by Zionists.

Why do they hate our Constitution so?

 

It amazes me that these jackals who swore to defend the Constitution have so little regard or understanding for it. The fact that he makes these declarations, without couching his thinking shows that our political heritage of rule of law doesn't even impinge upon his conciousness. The islamofacsists are pikers compared to these beaurocrat welfare queens in hating our liberty and damaging our republic, if you can still call it that.

Denninger underlines the difficulty to make change...

paraphrasing...
Why "Political Activism" is Dead in the USSA friends
Simple mathematics
..."There were 108,592,000 people in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2011 who were recipients of one or more means-tested government benefit programs....plus 21,880,000 Govt. employees.
...Leaving 79,836,000 left working in the Private Sector.
There is No possible way for Political Change in the USSA.
The 130,472,000 Majority will never vote to either to end their own Freebie Govt Handouts, nor agree to fire themselves from their Govt Jobs.
The American Empire is doomed...Protect Yourselves accordingly.

Heheh, I love ZH 'math'

But I will agree with you 150 million billion percent...assuming that NOT ONE of that " 108,592,000 people in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2011 who were recipients of one or more means-tested government benefit programs" has ever in their entire lives paid taxes, or unemployment premiums, or social security premiums, or had a job, or owned a business, bought gasoline, etc. etc.

Because, as we know from Ayn Rand's medicare receiving rationalization lesson (much to the chagrin of all her slavering acolytes), those folks that have their entire working lives paid taxes, and unemployment premiums, and social security premiums, and had a job, or owned a business, bought gasoline, etc. etc. are not 'taking' at all when they gain access to the public coffers; in fact they are just making as much back as possible from whatever they've already put in, right?

Basically the  Luciferian Elite are like royalty,  there are several royal families like the Rothschilds, Warburgs, etc.

From these families a small commitee is picked, and they are the ones who pull all the strings in the world.

Under them are things like the bilderbergers, IMF,  The Fed, the world bank, the 100 or so multi national companies that control most of the economy.

This commitee pushes the Elite's agenda of one world governement, depopulation, total control.

Which you can see by the monument built by Ted Turner of all people.

I doubt it's anywhere near as cost as that. Though many of their interests are aligned, these people are infintely greedy and are probably at each others' throats half the time.

And unless you think it's all theatre, the fact that Putin put a kaibosh on the west's Syrian adventures suggests they don't rule the entire globe... I suspect their influence is relatively limited in China and Iran, too.

My take of it is as mob families running crime syndicates that are continually in competition or alliances with the other crime syndicates.

When settlements were first formed, the Hatfields and the McCoys were kept from conflict and molded together with the development of top-down chain of command using organized force. That allowed rather large nations to come into existence.

Currently in the modern era, that chain of command model is running into serious problems in a drive towards world governance. The ingroup-outgroup morality that developed in the tribal system, and in conjunction with the concept of a personal (to the community in which it arose) God and Nation, created larger and larger ingroups, is being undermined because it MUST END OUTGROUPS to become a World Government.

Soldiers, police and other "authorities" are just trained dogs. They'll perform whatever command they are given. This guy would have veted the questions and practiced the answers before he put his ass in front of a camera. And remember; It's his ass on the line here. How to avoid getting a big kick in it was his priority. Paid for lap dogs. Think they won't turn their guns on you? They do it every day. They're holstered but ready for use at someone's command. That's what you do in a hierachy that demands subjugation on the part of the grunts.

It's been my contention for a long time that the U.S. military senior officer corp is a breeding ground for Fascists. The whole military way of life is an authoritarian system. This is why the founding fathers wanted no standing armies. It wouldn't take much for these generals and admirals to take part in a military coup.

Amt III, Inland-SD, headed by SS-Gruppenführer Otto Ohlendorf, was the SS information gathering service for inside Germany.

Amt VI, Ausland-SD, led by SS-Brigadeführer Heinz Jost, and later by SS-Brigadeführer Walter Schellenberg. This was the foreign intelligence service of the SS.
