...
The "storm" finally got here, but it isn't raining. We just are the clouds. Still 66°. The air has been almost perfectly still all day, tiny droplets adhering to the south and west windows of my house. Just now it's starting to have little curlings of a breeze... starting maybe to become convincing... but I have opened everything on the north and east sides of my house to try to get some air moving. The weather service says it isn't going to be terrible until tonight.
I'm hearing all over the news that we cannot let the criminal fucks keep trying to make us concentrate on Snowden's odyssey rather than their criminality... and, in fact, they are not being that successful. Everybody, all sides of the political spectrum, and from everywhere on earth, is pissed off about this spying by the United States and England.
Yes, maybe we have known about it for many years, but not concretely, not so as to be able to pin it where it belongs pinned, and Ed Snowden and Glenn Greenwald and Julian Assange and associates of theirs not so famous and Iceland and Ecuador and Cuba and Russia and China have changed that murky state of affairs I hope for good. We have to keep our sights on the perpetrators instead of letting ourselves cloud it with the circus those perps are trying to make of our liberators.
The entire government of the United States is corrupt and way out of contract with the People. Most of them belong in jail. They are the felons, the traitors, the people whose asses belong in slings, who should lose their passports and be hunted to the ends of the earth. And you've got to stop letting 9/11 be their excuse.
THEY WERE DOING IT LONG BEFORE 9/11.
Q: Did foreign governments, terrorist organizations, get information they didn't have already?Their object is a fascist, totalitarian, world state. It's all mindfucks along the way. Wake up... and stay awake. Make everyone you encounter aware of this. Do not let Snowden's sacrifice for us go unappreciated. Make it stop.
Binney: Ever since ... 1997-1998 ... those terrorists have known that we've been monitoring all of these communications all along. So they have already adjusted to the fact that we are doing that. So the fact that it is published in the U.S. news that we're doing that, has no effect on them whatsoever. They have already adjusted to that.
Radack: This comes up every time there's a leak. ... In Tom's case, Tom was accused of literally the blood of soldiers would be on his hands because he created damage. I think the exact words were, "When the NSA goes dark, soldiers die." And that had nothing to do with Tom's disclosure at all, but it was part of the fear mongering that generally goes with why we should keep these things secret.
