Who Said It: "This Administration Acts Like Violating Civil Liberties Is The Way To Enhance Our Security"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Who said it?

This Administration also puts forward a false choice between the liberties we cherish and the security we demand. I will provide our intelligence and law enforcement agencies with the tools they need to track and take out the terrorists without undermining our Constitution and our freedom.

 

That means no more illegal wiretapping of American citizens. No more national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime. No more tracking citizens who do nothing more than protest a misguided war. No more ignoring the law when it is inconvenient.

 

That is not who we are. It's not what is necessary to defeat the terrorists. The FISA court works. The separation of powers works.

 

Our constitution works. We will again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers and that justice is not arbitrary.

 

This administration acts like violating civil liberties is the way to enhance our security. It is not.

 

There are no shortcuts to protecting America.

      - August, 2007

Confused? It is the same guy who said this back in 2006:

“Mr. President, I rise today to talk about America’s debt problem. The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills. Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally.  

 

Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’

 

Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.  

 

Americans deserve better.

 

I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”

Still confused? Here he is:

But of course......this is exactly what happens when you focus on the pseudo power.......the true power tell the president high high to jump...stop focusing on O and focus on the game. These families have controlled the world for Centuries and every supercycle just consolidates their power even more. The sheep will baaaa all the way to their slaughter.....Bush this...Obama that.....you're watching the the wrong game.... it was once explained to me that you have to think the way evil thinks to understand the motives and end game....

It is the responsibility of every parent to physically emass as much 'true' history as possible now for their children and to save it in various mediums - books, DVD's, tapes, written documents whatever - because as we speak, history is being rewritten and the schools will happily peddle the new incredibly biased version. We give our children two most precious gifts: love, and the ability to critically think. Education does not happen in schools, it happens in the home, whether or not one's child attends school outside the home. We worry for our children.

"I will provide our intelligence and law enforcement agencies with the tools they need to track the terrorists" - PRISM.

"That means no more illegal wiretapping of american citizen" - Made the wiretapping of American citizen legal, so it's no longer illegal.

"No more security letters to spy on citizen" - Security letters have been abolished, spying is on everybody now.

"No more tracking citizens who do nothing more than protest" - But if they walk on grass, that's a different story...

"No more ignoring the law when it's inconvenient" - Just changed it.

"The constitution works" - Once amended.

Somewhere down the political road here this devious, calculating presidential sophistic manipulation, designed to build some utopian "base", is going to see a troublesome end with 10s of millions of angry citizens. 

Keep looking for and be ready to reject the "hook", otherwise known as the 'inarticulate major premise', to wit:  "If you want 100% security...".  STOP! Who and When did "we" ever ask for that?

"If you want 100% security, you can't have 100% privacy" - or whatever he tried to propose.  So let's get this straight: in return for an unobtainable, utopian, never-asked-for level of security, he proposes that we accept giving up exactly what?  100% of our phone, email, home and auto privacy?   Just a small price to pay in order to gain that last bit of the 100% security we don't believe possible and never asked for?

Get real, Barry!

Fox News, CNN and MSNBC, for all their faux differences on unimportant matters such as God, Guns and Gays - similar to the Democrat vs. Republican, Blue team vs. Red Team meme, line up quickly in a straight line behind the government when damage control is deemed necessary. Many willingly, maybe a few grudgingly, depending on how much dirt the NSA can dig up to blackmail them into becoming team players.

Sorry to break it to you, but many of us were aware of this shit twenty years ago. Remember the Thrifts or Iran-contra? The names have changed (for example, Bartlett and Steele instead of Chris Hedges, or Reagan rather than Obama), but the game is much the same.

Technology is great, insofar as it speeds up communications and research (as well as making it easier to intercept and catalog), but it does not enhance sober analysis and articulate reasoning -- many of the comments I read now are simply SSDD reactionary rehashes. 

What TPTB have been most successful at domestically is divide and conquer -- sowing confusion and conflict is simple, regardless of the technology employed to deliver it. Classifying information insures this confusion and promotes wild speculation. And we lap it up, spin our LèCarre and Flemming fantasies, and collapse into tail-chasing -- instead of focusing on what we can do practically to unite ourselves to counter TPTB's machinations and avert these disasters.

I have some of your and Will's work already preserved and stored for my now very young son. I have some copies of articles from ZH as well. Its in a large section of a very large, old family cedar chest that will hold chronicles of events that are happening now and in the past. I have no idea what kind of bullshit my son will be taught by the time he is old enough to attend school in the community. I hope I'm not breaking any laws by saving these precious bits and pieces from ZH, but I can't help worrying that your work, and that of so many others, will be "disappeared" before he is old enough to see and understand them. We are going through very turbulent times when the ethics and values of every single person are being challenged. I want him to learn about and understand these times being as free of state-approved propaganda as possible. As I said, we worry about our  children.

You're right, every kid at some point in his/her life is going to find their parents painfully embarassing. Otherwise you get a kid like that one in Sixteen Candles who had to be locked into the school gym by his parents so he would attend a school dance. I don't know if you remember that scene, but this little geek was pounding on the gym doors screaming "I want to be with you guys watching TV" while his parents stood outside the door shaking their heads no. Separation issues be damned!

Good quote KickIce.

 

"Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day." -- Thomas Jefferson

Teach people the elegant simplicity of Constitutional self-governance, and the tyranny and oppressions of bankers, billionaires and politicians will vanish like a fart in the wind.

And if they were, how long have they been here? And how easy would it be for them to control a bunch of TV and religion addicted monkeys?

I've never seen a god, yet most in this world are on their knees to some mumbojumbo fantasy or other. People are easily lead and believe what they are told to believe.  They can be told to dismiss and ridicule specualtion of alien life, when we can all go outside and see thousands of star systems like our own............yet we treat with reverence totaly fantastic bullshit like "god", with not a SHRED of evidence.........yet "man" is so fucking stupid, he will stand on a planet teaming with life, and wonder if there is life in the universe.........LOL.

It is not logical captain.

Many speak on here as if they have the answers, yet they are on this site looking for the answers, as everyone is as clueless as everyone else as to what is really going on and who (or what)  is really pulling the strings. My mind stays open, as all I can honestly say is "I don't know" (Aliens, Elvis, God, Kennedy, 9-11, Bankers, etc).

With a closed mind? Or a mind that has all the answers? It is pointless to enter debate. As the outcome is 100% predictable.

And it's not a minority either. 

How many Americans would turn down a job in govt harrassing citizens, maybe jailing citizens, especially when it pays double what they could make in private sector, plus benefits double what they could get in private sector (maybe triple), never worry about being fired, not even laid of?

Not many.  Very few probably.

That's the real problem.  Most Americans' talk of rights and liberty and freedom is pure bullshit.  They'd work for govt and be little tyrants given the chance.

Especially women.  Give women some authorty and they become real tyrants.  It really goes to their head.  Not all, but most.  Certainly high profile ones like Pelosi, Feinstein, what's-her-name running DHS, Hillary, etc, etc.

Men get pretty tyrannical too, but there's some give and take mixed in, negotiatiing.   Not women.  No give and take, no negotiating, their way totally.

Don't take my word for it, go ask women with women bosses.  You'll hear "tyrant", "snake", "monster", etc.

"stop focusing on O and focus on the game. These families have controlled the world for Centuries and every supercycle just consolidates their power even more."

Yes that's true, but we also need to remember that Obama is a pathological liar. Every single thing about him is either a lie, or a cipher. Both his parents are dead and his grandparents are dead, so whatever they knew is lost. Hell we can't even be sure who his parents were, exactly. Records are lost,transcripts are sealed, there are mysterious gaps in his life. The guy has done nothing productive his entire life-- no visible means of support. He has all the substance of a thick fog-- you can see its there, but you can't grab onto anything.

The lies are endless-- even for a politician. This guy has a perfect track record of lying-- is there a documented case of him telling the truth even once? You know, just giving a straight answer to a question that later turns out to be proven true.

If there are powers that be who pull the strings, how does it serve them to put someone in place that is 100% pure lies?

This is a question that demands an answer.

You mention supercycle and it seems to me we may be headed toward a period of decline.  A paradox I can't resolve is how the top families are going to furthur consolidate power given the existence of instant communication via the internet and a vastly larger university educated populace.  Why would the power elite allow such large access to education?  Is this some sort of frontrunning tactic?

"Why would the power elite allow such large access to education?" -- Wilcox1

 

Education has been "slimmed down" even at mid-sized colleges and universities. I was there, and fought it at my university, in the early and mid-1990s. They called it the "Metropolitan" model and tailored classes to fit area employers' needs -- which meant most "elective" history, sociology and political science undergrad and graduate programs were eliminated for a MBA program, Computer Science and Information Technologies, and Welding. Just not cost effective if the employer doesn't need it... and they need techs and managers.

Entirely begs the question, of course, of wether or not history, sociology and political science (and other substantive humanities) courses are merely indoctrination. But, considering their removal entirely from the curriculum, I would say not. After all, unemployed technicians are more useful and less damaging to TPTB out amongst the folk than unemployed philosophers and social critics.

Let me explain something nobody here knows apparently.

Congress has unlimited law-making authority "within the federal district"  (DC. and federal territories / areas).  Constitution says that. 

It means congress isn't bound by constitution in federal areas, just in the states.

Civil war eliminated the states.  It's all federal territory now, and has been since 1865.

Hence congress isn't bound by constitution anywhere in America now, and hasn't been since 1865.

It wasn't abolished.  It's still there.  It just doesn't apply anywhere now.

Federal legislation since 1865 proves it.  Most of it vilolates constitution.  But SCOTUS knows the truth ...even if y'all don't.

Who said it and WHY?

 

He read it off the prompter because his handlers knew it would resonate with the American people.  It continues to resonate with the American people.  His handlers and the handlers to be know it will always resonate. 

The people will continue to mistrust our leaders because though they can record the past and control the presentation of "current" information, they can't seem to find a way to completely Erase the past. 

This is primarily because leaders have a particular allergy to repentance, believing the American people to be unforgiving.  History teaches otherwise, imo.  Of any people on earth, the people of the US forgive when repentance is sincere.

It's too bad though, because as attorneys, US political leaders are taught first to deny everything, even if they have pictures.  It's what they know.  Admission of wrongdoing is a completely foreign concept.

The irony is however, true freedom can't occur until one learns to do it, and do it often. 

jmo.

Sociopath: A sociopath is typically defined as someone who lies incessantly to get their way and does so with little concern for others.  A sociopath is often goal-oriented (i.e., lying is focused - it is done to get one's way).  Sociopaths have little regard or respect for the rights and feelings of others.  Sociopaths are often charming and charismatic, but they use their talented social skills in manipulative and self-centered ways.

The Ongoing Debate Between Power and Conscience, Secrecy and Its Abuses

"At its very inception this movement depended on the deception and betrayal of one's fellow man; even at that time it was inwardly corrupt and could support itself only by constant lies. After all, Hitler states in an early edition of 'his' book: 'It is unbelievable, to what extent one must betray a people in order to rule it.'

If at the start this cancerous growth in the nation was not particularly noticeable, it was only because there were still enough forces at work that operated for the good, so that it was kept under control.

As it grew larger, however, and finally in an ultimate spurt of growth attained ruling power, the tumor broke open, as it were, and infected the whole body.

The greater part of its former opponents went into hiding. The German intellectuals fled to their cellars, there, like plants struggling in the dark, away from light and sun, to gradually choke to death."
