CNN Claims "Americans Want Security Over Freedom"
Update: the same Jake Tepper, noted below, wishes to clarify what he said:
@zerohedge your blog post erroneously suggests that i support that sentiment -- please fix, that's not what I was saying
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) December 23, 2013
Submitted by Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
Wow, this is straight up insane propaganda at the highest level. He is not even trying to hide the message. CNN’s Jake Tapper just comes out and says it:
I think the American people, honestly, want security over freedom.
- Jake Tapper
Compare that to let’s say, Benjamin Franklin:
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
- Benjamin Franklin
That right there demonstrates perfectly how far we have fallen culturally.

It's pretty fucking simple and since you're part of the problem here, let us repeat:
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.
- Benjamin Franklin
It's pretty simple cause you're too fucking stupid to realize I AGREE with you. Try reading what I wrote again, but this time breath idiot. And I wholeheartedly agree with the quote. But in the actual real world, not in some online freedom fighter fantasy world... PEOPLE DON'T CARE...and yes they don't deserve freedom either. They deserve exactly what we've got now, an electronic police state. Again, how is Tapper wrong? (and please don't quote Ben Franklin again, I took high school history too).
I hate to admit it but you're right.
The general populace has been so dumbed-down that they believe all the propaganda coming out of their respective governments. What with the control of the news media, entertainment media, etc, the false-flag events, and the orchestrated state of the economy, people are getting scared and are turning to the very people that created the problems in the first place.
The PATRIOT Act was definitely a Reichstag Play.
"Golly Dick, attacked by terrists! How long do I have to fly around?"
"They may be everywhere, W. Hang on."
"What're we gonna do? It loooks bad for Team Amurika."
"I dusted off some plans this morning in fact. I have a play in mind.""
That wasn't dust. It was *nthr*x
Zero hedge readers are part of the problem - here they are junking you but they're too stupid to realize that you don't agree with the situation. The fact of the matter is Tepper is right. Americans don't give a fuck about freedom.
Ben Franklin and his ilk wouldn't have put up with 1/10 the tyranny Americans put up with now.
What they believed back then doesn't apply today. Today Americans have given up lots of freedom, not for security, but for convenience. Just too lazy to fight it.
When everyone is in much greater danger of lightning strikes than terrorism, only complete morons would give up their liberty and support the aggressive police-state as they do for security.
It is indeed convenience... and laziness... and of course a fair percentage these days consider the freebees they receive adequate compensation for living in a tyrannical police-state.
cnn ratings would be even lower if they quit playing that crap in the airports. and whats up with " american airlines and our one world alliance partners want to thank you for flying bla bla hose shit. eff them all
USA should just be carved into two different countries: 1) Momma's Boys state and 2) Founding Fathers' state.
Jake Tapper says this soooo casually that it is rather scary.
He-Man Country
and
Girlie-Man Cuntry.
I hate the mainstream media. Fuck Jake Tapper. Good news is that NO ONE watches CNN.
As a proud American, I can relate to Jake Tapper's view that security is more important than privacy. I'm not doing anything illegal so if the NSA has to read a few of my emails to ensure the safety of Americans then I'm all for it. It's only the conservative troglodytes that are up in arms over the reasonable security measures being put in place, such as cctv cameras in public areas. It's time to stop living in the dark ages and time to start living in a brave new world.
Not even a good joke.
Nice sarcasm
Has to be sarcasm. Nobody is that stupid.
http://www.businessinsider.com/will-inflation-come-back-2013-12
Nobody? Talk at length (if possible) with a generational EBT card-holder, or go shopping for Air Jordans, and get back to me.
I hope your post is just sarcasm.
I'd hate to believe there're very many people that think like that.
Speak for yourself. I'm more likely to be stuck by lightning than to be the victim of a terrerrisss attack. You are the troglodyte dolt and this stupid statement proves it. Go back to The New York Times and spew your putrid stupidity fool. You'll make a great slave.
Have fun in your FEMA camp.
LOL. There's a tiddly little fact you don't get.
It doesn't matter how many of your e-mails the NSA reads, how many restrictions are placed on your freedoms, how many of your rights are trashed or how many armoured vehilcles the DHS have, GOVERNMENT WILL NEVER GIVE YOU THE SECURITY YOU CRAVE FOR. Government has little interest in YOUR security at all, only its own security and its ability to keep spending its way to Utopia.
Anyone who believes otherwise is in denial.
When people face up to these simple, plain truths, they will have come of age.
(please excuse the shouting)
!!! AMAZING !!!
Prey wants predators for security?
!!! AMAZING !!!
@Brillski Grow a pair.
So now we know what happens when viewership hits zero in the MSM. The hangings begin. Tapper will feel very secure covered in tar and fearthers and nailed to the freedom tree. Tapper is wrong, stupid, and has shown his hand. He is a nothing little political schill.
It thought it was another aritcle on taper.
When one eventually has little or no 'freedoms', as we are headed in the USA, then what exactly are we being kept secure from???
Freedom itself. For those who want to control others 'freedom' is the mortal enemy.
To anyone that might not be a 0hedger I would like to say this: We are the terrorists.
Tapper should ask that of every zoo animal.
CNN - the media magnet for total loser and moron "talent"...
Whenever I hear a journalist or a politician rambling on about what the "American People" need or want, I cringe.
This country needs a real depression.
And then a re-awakening.
Evil stirs.
Depression, revolution, then re-awakening?
One thing the NWO has right.
Quite a bit of the population shouldn't exist.
Of course, they're holding their list upside down.
Ignorance is the devil's playground.
Don't believe in evil?
Then you're already at a disadvantage.
"Don't be evil."

"...And thus, class, if we reverse the CNN statement," siad Professor Wiggins, "we find the Truth is real Americans prefer Freedom over Security."
"Wow, Professor, that was cool," said Candace.
"Thank you, Ms Smithers. Yes, CNN is an excellent example of what we old-timers once called "Pravda," a now-defunct Soviet-era newspaper, made back when the news was printed on cellulose sheets."
"Why do they lie so much, Professor?"
"Good question, Billy. If they told the truth, your moms and dads would be very busy with a lot of rope and other sharp implements."
"What do you mean?"
"There's the Bell! We'll discuss that tomorrow!"
Sounds like that kid's going to "Ron Paul University".
He'll love the course on Austrian Economics.
They get to burn a replica of the rock group Ben Bernanke & His Magical Money Machine, headed by the counterfeiter extraordinaire BS Bankster.
Given Tapper's background, history, and views, there's no reason to believe he is anything but a CIA agent.
Or Mossad. OK, let's not quibble.

That Jake Nobody Scumbag that likes to opine for everybody, should be the first to have his head put on a stick!
EOM
Pricks like Tapper will have their own exhibition in the National Treason Museum.
The Treason Museum doesn't exist yet... but it will. As sure as the sun will cross the sky, it will.
THAT is a great idea! I'll work there for free & use me night stick to ensure discipline on all the former politicians, bankers, Fed members, etc.
If that's true, you can change the headline to:
CNN reports "Americans prefer fascist police state & economic collapse to freedom".
CNN should have another tagline too:
"CNN, news for fucking retards."
There, fixed for everyone!
You all do as you like, but I provide my own security and freedom; in spite of the government doing all it can to limit those options...........
FUCK YOU TAPPER AND ENTIRE MEDIA COMPLEX AS YOUR PROPAGANDA IS THE only THING HOLDING THIS SHIT SHOW FARCE TOGETHER..
I'd say at least 50% of the North American population thinks like this jackass. Most of them women and gay men.
Women love socialism. It's their mantra. If they didn't have it, they'd all be dead or have to depend on a man to survive.
All of women's advancement in society is very very strictly attributed to socialism.
The decline of men and their standing and well being is attributed to socialism.
As a man, I'd like to keep all of my gains and earnings to myself. If there's a safety issue, I should be able to spend my own earnings on ways to protect myself however I'd like.
Fucking government hates this philosophy.
Sad to say there is a fair bit of truth to much of what you say... statistically speaking.
However, it is always better to say "most women love socialism" or somehow make your statements a bit more precise. For I can assure you, some of us are vastly more liberty oriented than the average guy. Or in my case, vastly more liberty oriented than the average libertarian.
Outliers exist, and a fair number of men also accept and even promote socialism. Who do you see implementing socialism, by the way (thought actually the specific brand of tyranny is pretty much irrelevant, and the current mix is more fascism).
BTW, my advancement has never been advanced by socialism, only held back by my constant verbal denigration of all authoritarianism. Of course, I don't live in society at all any more, either.
They are a bunch of tossers at CNN.
And being a member of the MSM, CNN ignores the fact that this invasive, unaccountable, unconstitutional spying has not added to American's "security" one iota. Rather, the actions of our government have created many more brown-skinned people who would love to get their revenge for locking up innocents and bombing the crap out of their wedding parties!
Brown skin people?
You mean everyone doesn't hate them?
Hmmmm. Not enough positive response to this trial balloon..... Need a couple of more bombs exploding in public placess.....
LoL
Jake Tapper has a huge NSA cock right up his arse to his brain, whilst his mouth is sucking of the remainder of the military bankster establishment. Tapper loves the taste of military semen.
The guy is simply a mouth piece for the NSA who believe citizens are the servants of the NSA.
Nobody in this world believes what he said, nobody. It is obviously a lie, but he is obviously bound to make it by his masters.
There you go....you won't get a better more obvious example of a person trying to sell out their country.
And Jake Tapper you little cock sucking bitch. When you can get the generals cocks out of your mouth, wipe the semen from your mouth....
The USA would need no security beyond any other country, if didn't spend the last 50 years creating wars around the world, to suit its bankster military masters.....and to create as many enemies as it can so it could perpetuate military trouble making world wide and give use to a gross fat corrupt purulent bankster military elite a reason to exist on public money.

Who'll protect us from our protectors after they have absolute control of us? "Absolute power corrupts absolutely," was written by Lord Acton about the Pope. Will you be safer in their cage or in their chains? Tapper is another apologist for the government. We have met our most dangerous enemy and it is them. As the prophet Samuel warned 3,000 years ago about wanting a king, "And you yourself will become his slaves."
Anyone needing more safety, please enter the nearest FEMA Camp..

Two years ago this Christmas, I began boycotting MSM and am proud to say I have not watched CNN for this length of time along with NBC, ABC, CBS and affiliates.
Once when I was on vacation in Brazil, the piss poor cable's only English language news was some variant offered by CNN - it was completely content free, no news at all. I was stunned at how poor it was - 100% kumbayah, PC correct crap. Soviet television was probably far more interesting.
After a few days I swear I would throw up (except, but then I had figured out that Brazil is far more interesting than spending any time at all in the hotel room other than crashing and partying). I almost ended up throwing a rock through the TV when CNN was on, as I still wanted to know what was going on in the world every once and a while.
Rescuing from the above episode, as Westerners we are far too addicted to news. Taking a complete break from TV, cable and the internet every once in a while is a "good thing".
'freedom's, familiarity maketh the heart grow fonder... unapologetically masking trival pursuits of wanton indulgences, whereas, absence of secuirty breeds contempt from a world enslaved to one's own's inherited carnage?'

Taking a complete break from TV, cable and the internet every once in a while is a "good thing".
( best comment in the Thread )
Humans are far too dangerous to be left to live in the wild. We must be domesticated and taught where our food bowl is. A society conditioned to happily eat the crap fed it is an "advanced" civilization. We live to be Progressive and to love our masters.
A Russian dissident once wrote Food is Primary Matter. Shit is Secondary Matter. The primary goal of communism is to blur the lines between Primary and Secondary Matter.
Did CNN hire Ass-cheese Bashir yet? Make a good replacement for the Bone-smoker Cooper, whose ratings are going down faster than he himself does on his days off...
"...please fix, that's not what I was saying"
You own it bitch.

'No, I didn't actually say what you think you heard me say. I mean, I would never say that. See, I am denying it now, so it never happened then. THEN is such a thing of the PAST, you know, and everyone KNOWS you can't learn from the PAST.' (Tapper, CNN apology video, December 26, rehearsal video cut)
Liberty is security to the free individual.
That makes you a slave pimp Jake.
Is it that you hate freedom or that cowardice is such a fast-track to profit?
If so many people believe you, CNN, why has your viewership been plummeting for years?
<sound of crickets chirping>
jake nazi tapper is a cia swastika head who was sent to brainwash people watching their 60kz somnalizing boob toob.....
security is terrorism - fuck you rockefellers, bushes, obama and cia. of course the indonesian usurper to the throne would send tapper to hypnotize the boobs.
I dont want to pick between security or freedom. I have the security thing covered, I want security OF my freedom
I blame it on women's suffrage and possibly estrogen in the water.
Jake Fapper can go Tuck himself! (dyslexic)
It's pretty clear what you said, Tapper...so please go fuck yourself (PGFY).
Opinions are like a__holes, everybody has one. If you really want to understand CNN, watch Amber Lyons tell all about it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x9KipxRrpo&list=UUvsye7V9psc-APX6wV1twLg
Please dont mention the word Tapper, it's taboo!
when the government violates the constitution then who are they supposed to be protecting us from anyway?
Having just read this, I figure ending the Fed would cause a sudden outbreak of peace and security all over the world:
in November 1910 a group of government, banking and business leaders fashioned a powerful new financial system that triggered, promoted and imposed a century of conflict and genocide, including two world wars, a Great Depression, many recessions and systematic mega-banker bailouts using taxpayer’s money.
It is definitely no “Bank” in the sense of a financial institution promoting the credit needs of the real economy for the benefit of the vast majority of the working population’s needs. Rather, the FED supports the financial needs of the global war system, covert operations, usury, drug dealers, and the global banksters.
