CSM-- A new poll from Pew Research Center suggests that, so far at least, Snowden's release of information on NSA programs has had a limited effect on how the agency is viewed by the American public.

The Pew survey, conducted Jan. 7-11, asked respondents about their views of various federal agencies, breaking down responses by sex, political affiliation, and age. It found that 51 percent of Americans view the NSA favorably – down from 54 percent in fall 2013 – while only 37 percent have unfavorable views of the agency.

WB7

Which once again confirms that which we already know:  We are essentially a nation of clueless morons who consider the PSI of a pro football and Kim Kardashian's oversized iButt to be of greater social importance than all else, the systematic derogation of our constitutional rights by the DC Vichycrats and the greatest  financial fraud ever perpetrated on the American public to name just two examples. 

Remember the notion that Congress was going to reform the NSA. I believe that ridiculous pipe dream now sits on the lameduck Q somewhere behind Twitter Community College and rescuing the phantom middle class.

If you have not yet watched Citizen Four, I strongly recommend that you do.

And yes Ed Snowden, we remember...

Nice rendition of Draghi, WB.

a lot of people have an opinion on this film though not many have seen it. eastwood starts the film from a postion which most everyone agree is controversial (and if the public approves of the what the NSA is doing remember they also supported the Iraq war - more people were in favor of starting that war than wanted the US to enter W2,and well doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the same (good) results is insane as well. just as constantly printing money to counter a deflationary economy is at some point going to blow up in your face. but look at this and go back and look at Heartbreak Ridge, and see how the two films leave you. (both are about the same uber patriotic jive) i live a few miles from the bar where they filmed that movie. and for the american people usually being wrong, joe sixpack thinks he hasnt done anything wrong, and he has nothing to hide, but eventually the stories start to filter through, like the body bags coming back from Nam, and public opinion turns. you and i are smart, we see their plans are going to fuck up before they even realize it, but im not sure that makes us prescient or cynical. either way it seems the conspiracy theorists should be called conspiracy scientists, they seem to be the only ones with the facts.

Here's for more mud in our eye....

If these bits of news have veins of truth in them those "body bags" for the human excrement that is the American military that is nothing more and nothing less than a "cult" will only continue to multiply and prosper to it's inevitable and well-deserved conclusion!  I have no remorse or pity for the next two wars that will open up and include many, many, many  U.S. casualties. Because after 14 years of it you have to severely question and reprimand the Ameircan mind for what it has done and  continues to do without a shred of conscience or guilt!

We truly are beneath contempt.  And the countries that will be involved in the next match will correct the problem that we are for them, mark my words!

Too bad Chris Kyle will be missing the latest action.  I would like to see how well his Navy and Marine buds will do racking up "kills" in places like Aleppo and Donetsk moving forward?... But if this is a taste of how bad it's already gotten for us outside of the lies that have been told about the coup, the destruction of MH-17 and that fact that we have had active fighters already engaged, don't expect the likes of John(s) Kerry and McCain to acknowledge their deaths anytime soon!...  They simply don't exist! Especially when you're on the losing side!!!

There are three ways to make napalm....One, mix equal parts of gasoline and frozen orange juice...Two, equal parts gasoline and diet cola....Three, dissolve kitty-litter in gasoline until the mixture is thick.

The only way to make the home-made stuff is packing peanuts (or any styrofoam) and gasoline.

None of things make napalm. FCOJ is mostly sugar and water. Cola is mostly water and sugar. Sugar is not an emulsifier, it won't cause a petroleum prodect to become miscible with water. Diatomaceous earth is a shitty thickener for fuel, it would work better as a fire extinguisher.

"FCOJ is mostly sugar and water."

WHERE'S BEEKS? WHERE'S BEEKS? TURN those damned machines back ON!

The mineral Diatomide is the prime constituent of liquid-absorbing spill-quenching stuff (diatameceous earth, AKA 'Floor-Dry'). It's also known as 'Kitty Litter' (I guess because cats pee a lot, and it's a liquid absorption agent).

Diatameceous Earth would actually negate any usable effect of the fuel, in fact (due to it's absorbancy rate per pound). It's used to PICK UP FUEL SPILLS due to it's negative ion charge.

Sol gel constituents aren't made up of kitty litter and FCOJ.

'I can make napalm using # 2 Diesel and a loaf of bread!' (Fucking 'yellowcake ANFO', or some shit)

obama has made his big career move by demagouging the republican party, and after eight years of bush people felt rightly so that they cannot trust a republican in the wh. bush was an fdr clone, he used deficit spending (the war was off balance sheet, he supported the new world order, and he created social programs (the home ownership society, built off Fannie Mae, and covenant free loans) - Bush and the Democratic congress had an immigration bill, but the GOP house blocked it.  obama ragging on bush is just another family squabble in one party america. this phobia of republicans has been obamas one outstanding quality. they say he was taking victory laps on the economy, haha bush took a bunch of those right until his fiddle busted and rome burned. the only thing different about the two bastards is the color of their skin.

If the US GDP tanks it will be over for the dollar...and the USA. All future presidents will find ways to spend more because the people can't. This will continue until the dollar collapses. It has everything to do with our current monetary system and nothing to do with the D or R after the name. Hopefully it happens on Big O's shift and the blame will fall on a socialist where it belongs. If we get a conservative...well we will still get the collapse and the blame will of course go to them. It will take a while for the real cause of the calamity to become clear in that situation.

The Snowden files have been, at best, poorly reported. But then again we know longer have 'news' but a narrative to be advanced. When you add in the infantile public, things do not change because change would require thought and thinking is too much work.

The more the State involves itself in everyday matters, the more complex and difficult it is to explain to people exactly what the problem is. They're like fish swimming in a sea of Statism - they cannot even detect the medium in which they operate.

The idea that 90% of the masses think (for themselves) is naive at best.

They identify 'thought leaders' or 'trend leaders'.  Generally someone telling you what you want to hear is enough for them to become a reputable 'thought leader'.  Hence Obama.
