Haven't been paying attention... is it seriously called the "USA Freedom Act"...? God that is hilarious. You can smell their desperation for legitimacy. Listen you lowlife scumbag filth, it does not matter what you get passed, the genie is out of the bottle. Nothing less than a nuclear class false-flag will manage to put it back in. You aren't returning to the “Conspiracy theorists be crazy we don't do that, we promise.” argument and you better damn believe you aren't returning to the “No Such Agency” privilege. You are fucking doomed.
How can you be against U.S.A. freedom? /s
During times of war and under the grounds of National Security, monitoring US Citizens is LEGAL.
During times of war and under the grounds of National Security, compulsory internment of certain US Citizens and Aliens living in Continental United States and overseas possessions into designated military areas is LEGAL.
During times of war and under the grounds of National Security, any form of dissent can be associated to Sedition and the subsequent ground(s) for Insurrection; thus individuals who advocate seditious activities will be tried under the Military Tribunal system.
During times of war and under the grounds of National Security, the Executive Branch is granted extraordinary powers to govern by decree if necessary; therefore, constitutional rights can be suspended at any given time and without notice if the government deems imperative.
In legal terms the United States of America is currently in a State of War: Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) -- http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-107publ40/pdf/PLAW-107publ40.pdf
Hey shithead. Act of congress are not legal when they contradict the constitution. The only way those fuckers can make surveillance legal is by amendment. Lick spittle.
joint resolution. (17c) A legislative resolution passed by both houses. It has the force of law and is subject to executive veto. Black's Law Dictionary Ninth Edition
Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) = Joint Resolution
Take some classes of American Government, you stupid brute, before posting such incoherency
So Blacks Law Dictionary trumps the u.s constitutiion these days.I don't think so.
Article VI covers it.
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land;
In otherwords,,, laws and treaties have to be made in pursuance therof. Since the u.s military standing army has no constitutional standing other than Congress funding, and since Emergency Powers exists nowhere in the Constitution, your argument is moot.
Now will they do these unlawful things? Absolutely,,, as nothing has prevented them so far.
I once ate a bowl of watermellon ice cream with James Clapper. He seemed like a nice guy. Go figure.
@ comte de saint
Is that right? All perfectly legal 'eh? You mean whatever they say is legal is legal right?

@ace ~ It's easy, if u were me... Unless you think I'm TOTALLY stupid
But how could anyone EVER know?... OK ~ Let's start with this...
- CH1 ~ click the tenure (4 years 35 weeks ~ which basically means ~ NEVER BEEN KICKED OFF)...
- Look at the other list...
- How many times have you EVER been kicked off?
- If so, WHY were you kicked off?
- How many times do the "My sister makes $7,000 a month" peeps get kicked off
Others, around here, kno what I'm talking about...
There are only three kinds of commenters on ZH
Those who have been kicked off.
Those who will be kicked off.
Those who are Stasi ratfuck bastards and get others kicked off.
< I've been kicked off
<I haven't been kicked off
this is my 3rd acct with the hedge.......been reading the comments since 2010
Kicked off (formerly Diogenes, one of the earliest supporters of this site?
People get kicked off??? I must not spend enough time here.
I remember Francis. He was course but shouldn't have been kicked off.
I remember the bitcoin clown from canada. He shouldn't have been kicked off, as many times as he was.
I remember all the "I made $7,000..." ones. They should have been kicked off much more quickly than they were.
CH1 is an interesting case. Maybe one day I will remember him too.
I have been here for some years and political correctness is not one of my strengths. I always thought this board was not moderated.
Guess I don't come here enough but I am beginning to understand why some folks that have been here a long time seem to disappear then come back with a new handle.
Now I'm wondering if they let those who put the finger on the "chosen" stay to keep tabs on them?
Gee ... a spot of melancholy and paranoia on an otherwise beautiful evening
I am not unfamiliar with the anti-joo rhetoric around these parts, and I'm not particularly careful to avoid stepping on toes. I've never been kicked- this post may be the one that does it- but it ain't happened so far.
It ain't the average Jew that is giving you grief, he/she is just trying to live life, just like you.
Now, I'm gonna tell you sumthin' that is gonna hurt your head and make you hate me, but I don't care.
The Khazars teamed with the Pope and built a whole new religion which was totally fallacious and they called it Protestantism.
Jesus! My head hurts!
"... and I'm not particularly careful to avoid stepping on toes"
WELL ~ FINE THERE ACE!!!
That probably assures you that you'll NEVER get kicked off (if that's your GOAL on ZH & in LIFE)...
So basically ~ Whatever you do... NEVER speak THE TRUTH & you'll live a long & happy life, & eventually retire with a nice cushy home on the 18ths hole of a golf course...
You should, therefore, be quite PROUD of yourself !
Geezes achilles take a valium.
This is all kinds of fucked-up! James Cole comes to the front in back-handed defense of acetinker!
It don't get any better than this, folks.
Achilles may need more than valium, tho'.
The truth is:
I will have to see if that Snowden moment gets me kicked off.
FGB
"... and I'm not particularly careful to avoid stepping on toes"
Uhhhh...Achilles Heel....I think that you misunderstood.
If acetinker is not particularly careful to avoid stepping on toes...
then that MEANS that he is willing to step on toes and speaks that which he believes to be true.
And although acetinker may think that I am a nut...and will step on my toes any chance that he gets...
unfortunately you misunderstood.
Been awhile, Tom... I was thinking you mighta' got booted.
Our differences, and our ability to tolerate one another, is what makes the world go 'round, imho.
A nut is a nut. We humans may do or say nutty things, but we'll never be nuts!
That's so 1400's.
Who created Atheism?
People are born as atheists. As a side note, in the early early days of Christianity when people made offerings to the Greek gods, the Christians and Jews were considered atheists... because they did not believe in the Greek gods. Thanks to Constantine, the Christians got to come out of hiding. How things have changed.
I must be Edwin G. Booz himself.
Let's put it this way... I've corresponded with you 4 long enough now to make the conclusion that you're NOT as I described the OTHER one...

Holy crap!
I keep in the back of my mind that this has gone on for a long while...
But your ARCHIVIAL talents prove that it has entered 'HIGHLANDER' territory!
Anyway ~ I can assure everyone that francis_sawyer doesn't work for Jooze Allen (whereby ~ at last count, there appear to be at least 10 Jooze Allen useraccounts here)...
FFS ~ There's fat assed JOOZE ALLEN employee that lives down the street from me... U know, completely with a 'changed' name that makes it seem more ANGLO... His wife loves me (because my lawn is the best in the whole neighborhood & it's the first that people pass as they enter the homeowners ASSN)... He? Instead? HATES ME (because when he moved in to the house, I went down there one day & tried to tell him which of the overgrowth on his 1 acre yard was viable herbs, & what was weeds)... He's a basic DICK...
I used joogle to retrieve and save comments from you, trav7777 and Mako and a few select others......IMHO, you three were the best...
I really miss TRAV!!! & 'Mako' & 'Long Soup Line' (they made me laugh every day & kept me sane)!
Damn, reading this thread has made me sad for what was lost here...
TRAV7777 and Francis were favorites of mine.
We come and we go... For the most part the really disruptive ones have faded away, not to be replaced. Sometimes my head ached from the OT posts that littered the ZH landscape. These days I read but rarely post any more since you folks are doing a fine job overall.
Thanks y'all! Reading some of these blasts from the past gave me a big smile this morning, (something I don't do nearly as much as I used to/need to these days).
I remember reading that thread! And I can barely remember what I just ate.
Might as well just Re-PASTE it HERE (for fun)

We need more jewish bankers for the system finally to become honest & trustworthy...
~~~
Edit: I get junked for that comment...
Fine... But I pose a question... Banking has existed for thousands of years... IT HAS A HORRIBLE TRACK RECORD... It has almost a 100% track record of the bankers themselves ending up being hung on lampposts (or WORSE)... I seriously doubt that by the time this latest version runs its complete course, that narrative will have changed...
The only thing that changes is the RHETORIC [applied to a new generation that has casually forgotton the lessons of past generations]... IOW ~ What's 'DIFFERENT' this time isn't banking [or the thieves that consistently involve themselves in that profession]... Instead, it's the PR [the 'public relations']... Cans are successfully kicked based on how long the 'suspension of disbelief' can be maintained... To understand that [at its roots], one need only look to see who [or what subset] is unnaturally attracted to the professions of [or, more importantly, the 'button pushing positions within]:
- Main Stream Media
- political lobbying activities
- legal profession
- &, of course, the bankers themselves
The ANSWERS you need to find [laying aside ALL prejudices or knee-jerk attempts at being 'anti-prejudice'] lie within that search... In my observation, I've discovered that the identity of the primary candidates for culpability it IS NOT a 'null set'...
Wed, 12/26/2012 - 15:41 | 3096852 CH1Rockefeller was a Jew?
And Morgan too?
Who knew?
Wed, 12/26/2012 - 16:23 | 3097025 mjcOH1"A 2009 law school graduate sums it up rather succinctly: "I had a lot of faith in the system, the mythology that if you work really hard you can achieve anything, and the stock market always goes up. It was pretty naïve on my part.""
Then I decided to go to law shool and put all of that crazy talk behind me.
Wed, 12/26/2012 - 16:43 | 3097074 francis_sawyerBoth Rockefeller & Morgan made their fortunes [*mostly after] they sold out & bought into the jew system [which ~ to summarize ~ basically offered a way to exponentially LEVERAGE their positions by way of extortion, bribery, & paper transactions ~ which enriched FEW and harmed MANY]... It's the PHILOSOPHY that matters (& there will be those, along the way, who decide to sell their souls into it)...
~~~
&, of course, there will be those, like yourself, who are incapable of seeing the innate damage that is done to mankind in the process because you are overly compelled to ruminate about the delicate surface of the facade...
Life is a trip, ain't it?
*I'm talking about REAL fortune... Though it's funny because Morgan himself didn't really have a pot to piss in... Rockefeller [by nature of the "non-paper" characteristic of his interests, escaped that to a degree]...

Jesuits are jews who pretend to be part of the Vatican... [Which makes for, like, a DOUBLE WHAMMY of evil]..

Edit: Yeah whatever... Junk away... The MK Ultra program loves it some Jesuits... It's their source for all their best potential recruits...
Fucking sick world bitchez... [but people, by all means listen to CH1 & fat Jim Morrison ~ they'll keep you on the rails to righteous living]...
Ahmeexnal, too! Man, I really miss those guys!
I think you miss the point- Achilles Heel is that guy. He wants you to think you're crazy for thinking that humanity can solve it's own problems.
Trouble is, he might be right.
Does anyone miss Slewie-the-pi-rat?
I certainly do.
Apparently, university students who have expressed "pro-Palestinian" views are being catalogued on a website, so that they can be screwed out of job opportunities. A news story about it here:
http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/jewish-world-news/1.658325
...and the actual website is here:
http://www.canarymission.org/
If that isn't the creepiest shit you've ever heard then I don't know what is.
It was only a matter of time, as the J-mafia has taken control of most corporation courtesy of Wall St and the discount Fed window. Now that they are the largest 'employers' in the USA they are starting to flex the muscle to intimidate the common man. This is what you get for letting dual citizens run all over your economy unchecked. They will always form cliques, but if you try to oppose them they call you racist and anti-ceramic.
Frederick the Great once said
As soon as you get away from the frontier, the Jews become a disadvantage, they form cliques, they deal in contraband and get up to all manner of rascally tricks which are detrimental to Christian burghers and merchants. I have never persecuted anyone from this or any other sect; I think, however, it would be prudent to pay attention...
Is their stand not anti-gentile. Face it they are organized to act against you and your interests and you are racist if you try to do the same against them.
Would be nice if we had a choice to only give business to Christian run corporations. But because of Jmafia cliques the monopolies they have dont offer you any choices. And could you not hear the cries of anti-ceramic if you even published a list of Jmafia owned corporations in the USA.
Where are you going to publish it, they control the media and your internet access. How can you have a democracy when their oligarchy via AIPAC steals you votes by controlling your elected officials.
As it stands right now they are the EFFENDI and the rest of you are goy slaves. Hope the Chinese and the Russians can break the dollar and the power of this cabal of crooks.
"Would be nice if we had a choice to only give business to Christian run corporations"
Yeah, Christians are never corrupt... /s
Leave the fooking religion out of it and just deal with MORAL persons.
There is the first Christian corporation - Catholicism, and then there are a whole bunch of heretics. Anyone who interprets the "official" writings in any other way as explained by the Catholic church is a heretic. Anyone who asks where koala bears came from because they could not be on the ark... is a heretic. All that infighting. It started a long time ago and is only going away when the sun expands and fries the earth.
It is easier to fool a man than convince him that he was fooled.
So it could be that Anti-Trust Legislation and Racketeering is not pursued by DOJ & FBI partly in deference to closely knit families, networks, that might be ceramic.
I could see how that makes sense.
Teddy Roosevelt created Anti-Trust Law and it was a campaign Promise to break the Money Trust.
But politics takes money, and countries need financing just as much as New York City or any municipality.
Even after Anti-Trust Law was created in 1914, Clayton Antitrust Act, it was ineffective and not enforced. Many more Laws were fought for to add strength and create an Agency, the FTC to break up the Money Trust. But Banking and Finance was moved under the SEC completely destroying the many laws and congressional fights to enforce Anti-Trust Law.
But I'm not a Congressman.
It's almost as if Zionists want people to hate them..
You mean it's almost as if people hate them BECAUSE of their actions done to others for their own benefit.

Free Francis Sawyer_
When you recognize him then do not mention it to anyone.
I may not agree with everything he wrote...and I do not.
But I am not here to read Echo Box Club.
Dr.Engali is right.
There is no one here with whom I agree 100% of the time, and thats likely true for most of us.
But I respect those who have the guts to speak the truth as they see it, whether I agree or not. And I suppose if the flaggots on here knew how often I did agree with Francis et al, I'd probably be on my 3rd or 4th account as well. But my taciturn nature keeps me below the radar, usually.
I know what you mean. I don't agree 100% with anybody. Sometimes I read what I wrote and have to start a new window to argue with myself. Don't worry I'm not a lunatic...
tock
Don't forget LongSoupLines.
this one's for you..........
Fri, 12/21/2012 - 22:39 | 3089173 LongSoupLineThis isn't fucking morality, it's fucking financial and cultural genocide of the fucking middle class.
Fuck you Bernanke and the entire shit ass stinking fucking banking sector. Those fucks can burn and rot in a fucking landfill. Don't even fucking bother to bury those treasonous fucking assholes...
Other than that I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.
Classic!!!
Thanks for the memory :)))

LSL was my HERO!!! ~ lol

Fuck you Lloyd, you fucking Fed ass sucking shit eater.'
I've thought... MANY TIMES... Of trying to come back as a RE-INCARNATION of LSL...
Alas ~ 2 things...
1. There can only be ONE 'Long Soup Line'
2. I'm NOT a PRETENDER
So, in the end, I think one can only be what they must be... I, still, believe TRUTH will prevail (even after being kicked off a dozen times)...
Sure is: It looks exactly like Plato's cave, and if you step out into the light of day, you will most certainly be eviscerated by your former comrades if you dare return.
Choose wisely.
The only branch of Government that listens...
That would make a damned impressive bumper sticker!
The cartoonist is absolutely correct. The dumb public believed the word "Patriot" without thinking, and now they're getting "Freedom" shoved up their *sses. Just like the book 1984, words don't mean what the public thinks they mean. The Snakes In Suits always used U.S. to mean "them," not the country.
Yeah, just look at the Affordable Care Act!
Did the affordable housing act create affordable housing or overpriced housing?
Did the "right to work act" create a right to work?
Good point.

Doublespeak
Yeah. Most Americans really are just a bunch of idiot sheep, aren't they? People want the benefits of a capitalistic and free society, but want all the government oversight, handouts and Big Brother to beat up their foreign and domestic enemies for them. This has all been hashed out before... debated endlessly... documents and letters written... soldiers died -- somewhere around 250 years ago. And now we have to go through it all again! A famous quote by George Santayana comes to mind.
Nonsense is so good only because common sense is so limited.
Another way to say that is that while wisdom is finite, stupidity knows no bounds.
The "Boob of the Century" Award goes to the total idiot who renamed our favorite fried potato snack, "Freedom Fries" Ya cant make this stuff up either, folks
Major props to Rand Paul- the one man willing to stand and fight.
Even if it was entirely theatrical, it was inspiring. . .
Sorry to rain on the feel-better about Tarabel post here, but my troll/whore/shill indicator just hit 11.
It's a bitch when you're right and nobody notices, ain't it? Well 14 (so far) noticed, thank God for your troll/whore/shill indicator.
We don't all get that.
Travel on.
Hard to feel bad for tarabel the terrible, s/he made her own bed.
At least it got three more people thinking about the NSA. That is something.
He is the ONLY one with balls in Congress
Tarabel, hate to be the bearer of bad news, the NSA may stop on US citizens, but they'll go back to the old arrangement the the Brits monitor us we monitor the Brits. Those pesky lawmakers always getting in the way, besides NSA needs to use all that fancy gear they bought.
I doubt anything stopped at midnight. These criminals know they are above all laws.
All of this is just theatrics to fool idiots.
its all a game=NOTHING stopped at midnight
I listened to what he said, alone as all his paid off pals deserted him, which is not unusual when a real fight is looming and Rand who I believe is not a lawyer, stood his ground after being ridiculed by media and other politicians.
He needs the support of all those who believe in the Constitution.
As he noted, the senate often gets less than the 48 hour minimum to debate and approve 1,000 pages of bullshit law.
For the first time in a long time I heard someone in DC make sense last night. I hope he has it in him to continue. Many people may not agree with all that he stands for and I really do not know all that he stands for but after listening to him last night after doing what he said he was going to do and is shunned for it, I think I like the fellow and he would be a better man in the WH than the liar in chief and war criminal who resides there now.
and yet he voted for the TTP-any way i would vote for him over Hellary
The headline may be about the NSA collecting phone records on all Americans - but that is just a cover for what they are really doing. By saying they are collecting all - they actually are hiding the fact that they are specifically tracking and spying in much more detail on a select group of people. Snowden has hinted at this, where the NSA plants certain special hidden software on your cell phones or computers. The NSA does not need to do this if all they are doing is tracking which numbers are called. The intent is to extract or capture the data on those devices, and to record specific phone calls, identify key words, and do voice pattern analysis. Those things are way more invasive than what the headline is -- and people would be very upset to know what the NSA is doing. Thus the subterfuge to distract these targeted NSA actions.
I've read the NSA has shit that can copy your whole hard drive in 15 seconds.
^THIS
I'm certainly concerned about the NSA's recent domestic intelligence gathering activities, but I'm far more concerned about how and against whom that intelligence is being used. Are Americans being targeted? With tactics like 'parallel construction,' would we even know? The increasingly cozy relationship between our government and private contractors, and an estimated $60 Billion 'Black Budget' only deepens my concern.
Baaaa baaaaaa baaaaaa nation of sheep will do as they're told or else...
Wake me up when the NSA and the Government announce massive layoffs.. instead of Hiring
Most crimes are solved by folks ratting people out and not by great detective work.
There's ZERO justification for BOOZE/NSA ScumScam. They just give a modicum of comfort to BankCorp at our expense of course.
"The things you own end up owning you." - Tyler Durden
Maybe on paper and theory the "government" might curtail their activities, but the reality is all the "big data" is on corporate servers forever.
'Our collective security is now a "public-private partnership."'
What comes from all of this are "Lists."
Google is at the epicenter of this fascist paradigm. While DIA and NSA and E I E I O toil away nine-to-five, the Googleplex is making lists at the behest of the SPLC/DHS.
The science fiction element to this future is that as long as your stay in debt and fear you cannot challenge the power structure.
Get a big head and run for office, build a coalition, march in the streets and the Googleplex will tell the FBI they found some kiddie porn on your computer.
The fire will be extinguished before it ignites.
Does not really matter. Do any billionaires live in your area? No?
Then you are economically irrelevant.
As long as we are irrelevant, we may as well show these control freaks what irrelevance is about.
Life is not about money, contrary to popular belief.
If 20 million irrelevant people stopped cooperating, not filling out forms, paying cash and asking for cash discounts, making sure their representatives actually represented them or recalled them if they didn't, it would make for a better America by a long shot.
And as far as the military goes, those guys undercover in Africa and the Middle East, don't expect thanks for fighting for freedom as it is being stripped away from within and they will use you to enforce it and you will follow orders.
This bullshit regime has got to go.
'Our collective security is now a "public-private partnership."'
a.k.a. fascism, USSA style.
the only thing that would have made this cartoon even better is if the family was carring their own personal all seeing eye devices to record the whole shit show and post it on fascist-book
Sorta brings a whole new meaning to the words "patriot" and "freedom".
Hate to sound like a prick but has anyone noticed how ZH moves so much slower than just about every other site? Processors also light up. What's up with all that? Either ZH implements the spyware or something else is going down. I don't like it one bit.
That's cause they're watching you there with their spyware.
Put a piece of tape over the camera lens, that should fix it.
The stupid delight when their stupidity is renamed neo-logic.
Only a criminal, tyrannical, and treasonous government need spy on the people.
Has the government stopped its tyranny and treason?
If no, then they are still spying.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..

Not sure which post has best audio.
Spying...and now lying about spying.
At least we knew the truth about it then.
But we still do know it.
You can know when a Government Official is lying by the motion of his jaw and the bleating sounds uttered from his mouth which emanate forth.
Those who have eyes will see it. Those who have ears will hear it.
The same guy who lied us in to the Patriot Act, its author James Sensenbrenner, is now super-pimping the Freedom Act.
That should tell us all we need to know.
Lot of high density paranoia here, eh...
It's not paranoia if they actually ARE out to get you.
And they ARE out to get you.
Those who are plotting against our Western economies have given up using electronic communication , so again, what point or what value are electronic spies ??
Waste of resources. Spend the money of nationalising your countries belief in it's right to exist, and strengthen the borders, and be on standby.
They're coming and won't stop over these next couple decades, and it will accelrate from here on in, as Western law clashes with those intent on forcing Sharia and the formation of Islamic states across the planet.
Guards up. Roger up and be prepared.

FBI behind mysterious surveillance aircraft over US citiesAssociated Press JACK GILLUM, EILEEN SULLIVAN and ERIC TUCKERJune 2, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI is operating a small air force with scores of low-flying planes across the country carrying video and, at times, cellphone surveillance technology — all hidden behind fictitious companies that are fronts for the government, The Associated Press has learned.
The planes' surveillance equipment is generally used without a judge's approval, and the FBI said the flights are used for specific, ongoing investigations. In a recent 30-day period, the agency flew above more than 30 cities in 11 states across the country, an AP review found.
It's all shits and giggles until the bullets really start flying.
When does it become treason?
