The Fuse Has Been Lit: Seven Critical Points on Champ's Spying Program
[Breitbart] The sordid revelations from The Champ administration are coming at a pace that can only be described as, well, fast and furious. So lets lay down some markers here, as a sort of road map for the months and years ahead, or whatever time we have remaining:
First, if the PRISM program and all the rest of the governments surveillance programs were so good and necessary, then why didnt the feds catch the Tsarnaev brothers, who earlier this year blew up the Boston Marathon? Or Major Hassan, the 2009 Fort Hood mass-murderer? Or the underwear bomber, also from 2009, who nearly succeeded in blowing up the passenger jet flying into Detroit?
Second, if and when everything is revealed about PRISM and all the rest, its likely that we will learn of important and inculpating connections between the National Security Agency (NSA), on the one hand, and many civilian agencies, and Booze Allen on the other.
Or we could just ask Maxine Waters.
I am not just referring to Eric Holders Justice Department; I am also referring to the gleefully gushing leakers and win-at-any-cost politicos in the White House. And oh yes, lets not forget The Champ administrations partisan allies at the IRS, as well as the Affordable Care Act minders overseers at the Department of Health and Human Services.
Special Note: The HHS private donations programme is now on hold.
Moreover, since we know that the IRS was eagerly willing to share secret tax information with favored private groups, we shouldnt be surprised, in the end, to learn that NSA/PRISM material ended up in the hands of Champ friends and allies outside of the country government.
Third, we now know that Silicon Valley, and the telecommunications industry, are the key to The Champ strategy for total information awareness. In fact, the internet companies, and the phone companies, were the spearpoint for PRISM. No, wait, thats not the right image. Lets try this: These communications companies put peepholes into all of our private lives, through which Uncle Sam could sneak a peek. Every e-mail, every phone call, every text-message--the government knows about them all.
I blame Bill and Melinda.
Its now evident that all these wonderful digital services--many of them, such as Googles Gmail, given away for free--were, in fact, a kind of Trojan Horse. That is, on the outside, it all seemed like a good deal--but then the real truth comes tumbling out, and its too late. Some might recall the rueful lesson of the Trojan War: Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. The rueful lesson of our own time: Beware of geeks bearing gifts.
Beware of all "free stuff" and them that bring it.
Yes, Big Brother walks among us now, jiving, peeking and snooping into everything. And we, innocently and unwittingly, invited Big Brother into our midst.
