Shoot The PRISM-Gate Messenger: Obama To Launch Criminal Probe Into NSA Leaks
Suddenly embroiled in too many scandals to even list, and humiliated by a publicly-exposed (because everyone knew about the NSA superspy ambitions before, but with one major difference: it was a conspiracy theory.... now it is a conspiracy fact) surveillance scandal that makes Tricky Dick look like an amateur, earlier today, as expected, Obama came out and publicly declared "I am not a hacker" and mumbled something about "security", "privacy" and "inconvenience." He went on to explain how the government "welcomes the debate" of all three in the aftermath of the public disclosure that every form of electronic communication is intercepted and stored by the US government (now that said interception is no longer secret, of course) but more importantly how it is only the government, which is naturally here to help, that should be the ultimate arbiter in deciding what is best for all.
Yet the PRISM-gate scandal which is sure to only get worse with time as Americans slowly realize they are living in a Orwellian police state, meant Obama would have to do more to appease a public so furious even the NYT issued a scathing editorial lamenting the obliteration of Obama's credibility. Sure enough, the president did. Reuters reports that the first course of action by the US government will be to... shoot the messenger.
Reuters reports that "President Barack Obama's administration is likely to open a criminal investigation into the leaking of highly classified documents that revealed the secret surveillance of Americans' telephone and email traffic, U.S. officials said on Friday."
And how did Reuters learn this: from "law enforcement and security officials who were not authorized to speak publicly."
The mimetic absurdity of the narrative is just too surreal to even contemplate for more than a minute before bursting out in laughter: the administration's plans to launch criminal charges against those who "leaked" its Nixonian espionage masterplan involving every US (and world) citizen using the Internet, revealed by another group of sources leaking in secret. Pure poetry.
Of course, this was inevitable - once you start down the path of a totalitarian surveillance superstate, you don't stop until all dissent is crushed: either peacefully through submission to debt serfdom, or, well, not so peacefully.
It was unclear on Friday whether a complaint had been submitted by the publicity-shy National Security Agency, which was most directly involved in the collection of trillions of telephone and email communications.
However, one U.S. official with knowledge of the situation said that given the extent and sensitivity of the recent leaks, federal law may compel officials to open an investigation.
A criminal probe would represent another turn in the Obama administration's battle against national security leaks. This effort has been under scrutiny lately because of a Justice Department investigation that has involved searches of the phone records of Associated Press journalists and a Fox News reporter.
But what's worst, is that it may all turn very personal against the same journalists who dared to divulge the NSA's spy-op:
Journalists involved in The Guardian and Washington Post articles have reported in depth on WikiLeaks, the website known for publishing secret U.S. government documents.
The Post report on the PRISM program was co-written by Laura Poitras, a filmmaker who has been working on a documentary on WikiLeaks, with the cooperation of its founder Julian Assange, and who last year made a short film about Bill Binney, a former NSA employee who became a whistleblowing critic of the agency.
Last year, the web magazine Salon published a lengthy article by the author of the Guardian report, Glenn Greenwald, accusing U.S. authorities of harassing Poitras when she left and re-entered the United States. Greenwald also has written frequently about Assange.
The Guardian and Post stories appeared in the same week that U.S. Army Private First Class Bradley Manning went on trial in Maryland accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks.
In an email to Reuters on Friday, Poitras rejected the notion that the trial had any impact on the timing of her story.
"I am fully aware we are living in a political climate where national security reporting is being targeted by the government, however, I don't think fear should stop us from reporting these stories," Poitras wrote.
"To suggest that the timing of the NSA PRISM story is linked in any way to other events or stories I'm following is simply wrong. Like any journalist, I have many contacts and follow multiple stories."
Kris Coratti, a Washington Post spokeswoman, said the timing of the paper's publication of Poitras' story had nothing to do with Manning's trial and that Assange had played no role in arranging or encouraging the story.
Greenwald did not respond to emailed requests for comment. The Guardian's editor-in-chief, Alan Rusbridger, declined to comment.
Needless to say, once political retribution for publicizing the nuances of the police state becomes a personal affair targeting the very journalists whose task is to provide much needed information, the first amendment is basically finished.
Alas, on the path to tyranny the loss of rights and privileges, let alone the occasional amendment written on a very old parchment and which nobody follows or cares about, is inevitable.
And it is up to the citizens of such a tyrannical government to reclaim their nation. Which they will... Just as soon as The Bachelorette/Big Brother (no pun intended)/X Factor is over and the next disability check clears.

Friends, welcome to 1934
and where did the pres spend last night?
why it was dinner at Vinnies

Hugo Boss, Bayer, IBM, Siemens etc would be so proud
All this begs the question: are black people capable of high civilization. Obama came from the civil right movement and it is just shocking to see how he is turning his back on that which made him possible. It seems that he fits right in with the African dictators.
wow...I'll bet you are just about the smartest guy on your bowling team aren't you? the pride of the double wide community.
Stick your head under your own politically correct ass. Ignore the obvious and hope reality will be better. Pathetic. I voted for Obama. But there are just some reality one can not ignore. Which part of turning his back on civil didn't you get. Alien iq more like dumb ass iq.

The main thing about race with Obama is that he can get away with anything. Being a Democrat gives him some teflon but being a "black" Democrat mans he is just about untouchable. He is not even probably 30% black.
I cannot stand the Bushes but if Bush or Reagan did 1/10 of the stuff Obama - they would be impeached in a week.

did i not read one of the boston bombers had a free phone? dont think this about stoping terrorist. its to get in someones back pocket
So, obamas not mad about any violation of rights.
He's mad about them giving away his dirty little secrets.
EXACTLY, EXACTLY RIGHT
He's only mad because he got caught. White House to investigate the leaks, any doubt how this will turn out?
HELLO effen NSA, how do you people sleep at night and live with yourselves?
So now I guess we can freely hang the flag upside down?

The NSA and Obama would thank you.
That is the exact kind of knee-jerk, "SQUIRREL!" kind of distraction the idiocracy goes apeshit over.
[As in the third post in this comments section.]
Exactly. All of this call detail / prism stuff was common knowledge within a year or so of the patriot act (when someone finally finished reading the thing!)
Have people actually been under the impression that their data/calls were NOT being monitored? I think not...
So why the big media distraction now? Did something major happen at the meeting with the Chinese? Or are they providing cover for something else?
Good point. While this PRISM news is important, it distracts people from the much more serious IRS scandal, which is really bigger than the IRS. Dear Leader has been using multiple federal government agencies to harass and intimidate his political opponents.
And, we should not forget about Benghazi or Fast and Furious. There are actual dead bodies behind those scandals - 4 for Benghazi, and 400-ish for F&F.
Forward (over the cliff)!
I'm sure there will be pardons all around if anything comes of any of these investigations.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Seeing as flying the flag inverted commonly means "I'm in Distess - Assistance required" (same meanig a the "V" flag) who were you hoping might help?
There's a very long list of Countries that'll not give a damn, however you might be lucky with Australia, seeing as we're still somewhat in your "good books" for the moment.
My line of thinking is that 90%+ have zero clue as to the significance of said act, and if even a small percentage were to actually figure it out, it would be a good thing.
When I explain things to people about certain truths in our society (namely origins of money, etc) they are very receptive to learning more.

Stick your head under your own politically correct ass. Ignore the obvious and hope reality will be better. Pathetic.
It's true true brain, your thesis is bulletproof, the Negroes are the only race I know of that has ever done ill to their fellow man.
Now, if someone could come up with an incident where a member of the white race did something abhorrent to another human being I'd say maybe - maybe - there's a debate to be had.
But as I'm fairly confident (like you true brain I have no knowledge of history) that no such case exists we can consider this closed.
So in closing, the downfall of America is entirely the fault of the negro race - always keepin' the white man down.

lol, you voted for Obama and you think its the blacks that are the problem?
FYI, there have been African civilizations. You just ton't hear about them much, because our history classes are very Euro-centric. Nubia, Axum, and Ethiopia are all good examples. In addition, there is now evidence that the iron age began in modern-day Nigeria, although Egypt appears to have had limited iron working abilities earlier than that (but with meteoric iron, not smelted).
Collectivism took strong hold in Africa long ago, and it now reaches its tentacles out to the rest of the world. Let's not let it do to us what it did to them, yes?
You're right-look at how well the negroes are doing running Dee-troit. And other than the negro that did some shit with peanuts feel free to list all of the great accomplishments of Africans(chucking a basketball aside).

The war is over there, men!
Saddle up!
"The war is over there, men!"
~~~
That's a cop out...
Wars are where they always have been... INSIDE YOUR HEAD... Political 'Correctness', in of itself is a war... It's a war between you thinking that you're an enlightened being [you're NOT a UNIQUE SNOWFLAKE], and the reality that your delusion of being a unique snowflake evaporates in an instant when the reality of being flesh & bone gets factored in...
Political 'Correctness' is a foible hoisted upon the general population [which received a great assist after the advent of mass media]... Previously, it was mostly reserved to the "gentlemen class"... In BOTH cases, it was a facade to hide deceit... The problem now is that those who CONTROL mass media are actually capable of tweaking the dials of political 'correctness' in a manner whereby greater levels of deceit can be achieved [& over a larger populace] than ever before in history...
"Over There" only refers to the physical manifestation of this deceit... But the REAL WAR, as it has always been, is for INDIVIDUALS to see truth for themselves... The less people there are who understand truth, or who hide behind synthetic notions & comfort zones, the worse things appear to be "over there"...

Hey shit for brains. Why don't you just let the racists have their 1st Amendment say and stay the fuck out of it. Or are you too stupid to know when to STFU. Fucking dumb ass. Like your some fucking hero of the oppressed. You make me fucking sick. Self righteous POS.
Hey shit for brains. The whole point of the 1st amendment is that people get to call out ignorant shit heads. It doesn't mean that you get to spout your ignorant bullshit and we all have to shut up. Read the document some time and then send me a telegraph or whatever else you backwards fucking idiots do to communicate with each other.
Kiss my ass dumb fuck. Kito is no fucking hero. Pretends like he some fucking moral judge. Probably molests children at the bar mitzvah.
I was waiting for someone to say point blank that people who still hold ridiculous racist views in the western world in this day age are simply pathetic morons, but turns out no one had to say it, precious is doing an excellent job playing to type!
Rage on loser!
Cole. Anyone who follows ZH for more than 1 day knows you are a complete goon. As for my comments, there isn't even an ounce of rage. So you're simply a deluded slut who I would wager never lifted a finger for a minority individual or even anyone wrongly oppressed.
HOLY SHIT! FIGHT CLUB, BITCHEZZZ!!!
Hit him. No not him. Him. Over there. The other one. Harder. Again.
I'm impressed....so far this has been a fairly civilized bar fight.
What did I miss - I just got back from my klan rally.
You wuz jus gettin warmed up
Hooray!!! Reading ZH comments is like entering an alternative universe circa 800 AD. Ethnic, religious and racial groups are blamed for all our problems and anything else we can't instantly comprehend was caused by "them" - that nefarious group working to exterminate mankind.
What cultures emphasize and teach is the real issue. If one espouses education, hard work and delayed gratification, industry and savings and another espouses sports, entertainment, political dependency and expediency there will be different outcomes.
Well somebody finally has the balls to call it like it is...
it's not plural.. just one fucked up parasitic race is all the hate is thrown towards
Zionists act like people who hate them hate all races.. nice try.. while Israel is completely racists and you can't be Jewish without a jew mom right? How racist is that?
Face it, they want all the rest to intermarry or go gay so they are the only pure race left. And you want to call anyone else racist?

But what was this post about again? I forgot, cause some schmuck with low self esteem wants to act out in front of everyone cause mommy hasn't been listening to his bile, or is this just planned misdirection so those capable can't have an adult exchnage on a somewhat important topic.
I do think that the topic has been derailed, but most here know of the malfeasance of the empire.
So something like this is just another brick in the wall. A big brick, but nothing earth shattering.
For myself, I run under the assumption that the government will do whatever it thinks will protect itself and the status quo.
I think the derailment was more a function of when the topic came out (Friday night) than any planned misdirection.

Yeah, i assume it's just people piss drunk swinging at their shadow a good portion of the time.
"remember the jews were defending the kkk. . ."

O.K., Otto, I accept your challenge.
It was a Negro who perfected the process of seperating Plasma from blood.
He died @ a hospital in Atlanta,Ga. from injuries in a car accident. He needed Plasma. They refused because he was Black.
He needed Plasma. They refused because he was Black.
Indeed. But who were "they"? "They" were government; a government that instituted and enforced segregation laws. It's too bad that the civil rights movement while perhaps achieving some small level of success didn't see the real villian
Odd isn't it: if you look at history you'll find all great attrocities had one thing in common they were effected by governments.

Yes i realize that i sound like a racist. But i am lashing out because i am so angey. I hope nsa gets all my posts and kiss my ass.
I don't care if you are racist. I'm not going to change that if you are, and if you are not that's great for you. The problem is that people tend towards teams, and issues such as the raping of our Constitutional rights is not a black/white issue. Obama's race has literally nothing to do with it, but if the sheeple make it about race then they've won. Again. This shit is never going to change if people line up behind race, party, ideology, etc.
I dare you to go to Chicago and say that to every black man you see.

Until the whole humanist, relativist, subjective, empirical, positivist, liberal, progressive, collectivist mindset is discredited and a return to the philosophic ideals of individual responsibility, moral integrity, liberty, justice and consequence that produced the Constitution, nothing but trouble is in our future.
A consequence will occur regardless of the path taken.
Right now, it looks like it will like take a nasty societal bitch-slapping and catastrophe to (possibly) return this pathetic culture to sanity.
Sooo... only whites are racists????
I almost agreed with you, it's not race :) , but it is ideology. Too many minorities are still stuck on the Democrat plantation.
And there are no dumb fuck rednecks sucking the Republican cock of pretend freedom and America, fuck yeah.
They're not sucking anything, they're being cheated. Welfare state and freedom are incompatable. I can't blame anyone for wanting freedom, the plantation democrats however are are looking to get something from the govt. We're losing our freedom to maintain what the statists created. R&D, mostly D.

". . . plantation democrats however are are looking to get something from the govt."
The "plantation democrats" were NOT looking to get something from the gov't." During Reconstruction it was the plantation republicans, i.e. the former slaves that were getting something for nothing that the gov't. confiscated from the "plantation democrats".
40 acres and a mule.
Every Jim Crow Cracker in the southern US lynching blacks and brutally enforcing segregation for 100 years after Reconstruction was a Yellow Dog Democrat ("I would vote for a Yellow Dog if it ran as a Democrat"). Lester Maddox chased blacks out of his Atlanta restaurant with an ax handle in 1964, and then got elected as the Democrat governor of Georgia in 1966. Why are minorities such knee jerk Democrats? Very odd.

The Western World's "Popular Press" is full of (always anecdotal) evidence that small brown envelopes from your "favourite " Government Revenue Service (IRS, ATO, IR (UK), etc.)can have, and maybe have had just that effect!

It does work actually, which is why it's so insidious.

Yes its actually quite brilliant i must say. Tptb know that, given the history of this country, their deviant behavior will forever go unchallenged by racially diversionary means. Think about it, any white guy who criticizes the pres is automatically a racist. The only hope this country has is for ethnic groups to get out there and be heard. But with the majority of ethnic groups being dependent on entitlements and intentionally segregated into impoverished communities, their isnt much hope for any political activism(i hope im wrong). Its also a big reason they want imigration reform passed... More peeps dependent on entitilements= more votes= more political ignorance. Its all about voter population
