"Yes. It appears that "the most transparent administration in history" has never been all that transparent, and it's only getting worse."
And pray tell, when ever has any business considered that telling its secrets to the public was a good policy??
The US Fed is a Fascist Organization, and thus, is a business, plain and simple. It has no intention of disclosing its business secrets to anyone, let alone the people it is fleecing.
If your waiting for the next administration to be any better, you're going to be extremely disappointed. Once fascism takes over the governing of a nation, there is no direction left beyond straight down hill. The A Team will simply be replaced by the B Team and SNAFU will continue. A decade later the teams will switch again, and again SNAFU.
If shit starts to unravel, all that is ever necessary is to find a willing enemy with similar population problems and start up a war in his or some poor third-world country.
Fascism will eventually abandon the USA, once it has stolen everything of value and left its economy and public in ruins, but until then, it will continue to pretend to be a government and rob you all blind, with your full consent.
To be rid of such a blight, it is always necessary to excise the entire organism in one motion, because, like cancer, it can metastasize elsewhere, if even a small bit is overlooked.
Of course, before any such action can be under-taken, the public must first become aware that the problem exists.
Can't see that happening in America - The Complacent Consumer Country.
Its integrity and fairness are reserved for dealings with The People.
Eventually, the US public will realize that "The People" does not include the US public.
However, its unlikely that the US public will ever figure out just who "The People" actually are, since so few of "The People" are Americans.
But no matter. Once "The People" get Obama's new war under way, all of this stuff will be swept under the carpet anyway.
Nothing gets the American public's attention more completely than counting the dead bodies of their children and hating some foreigners.
And lets face it, the Russian Aristocracy is just as desperately in need of a new war as the US Fed is, so it'll be a "good" war for both sides.
The kind that never fails to put an end to "The People's" civilian dissent problems and allows both sides to disappear all of those who have spoken out against it.
Fascism is a business model, not a political process, and as such it is perfectly predictable.
"Is it really too much to ask the press to accurately report what Feinstein and Brennan said?"
Well, no. Its not too much to ask. Its just too late to ask.
You see, the White House already "asked" them to lie and they have already agreed to lie and then they went ahead and lied as agreed, and so now, they can't really tell the truth, because that would make people doubt other things they were "asked" to lie about by the White House... and well... that would just be bad.
You have to look at this from the White House perspective.
Sure he admitted to exactly what he was accused of, but if the White House had not "asked" the press to pretend he didn't actually admit it, then the public would have realized what Tech Dirt readers realized. And that too would be just bad.
Maybe if you'd have asked them first, they might have considered the truth as a valid use for journalism for once.
Considering how often the Press has considered the truth as a valid use for journalism in the past dozen years or so however, I somehow doubt it.
You might have had to threaten their licenses with renewal penalties or something first.... oh yeah, I forgot. Only the White House can do that.
"Senate Republicans are pretending that its putting people's lives at risk?"
Again, using semantics, they are telling the truth.
In this case, the people at risk happen to be the republicans themselves. Thus, People's lives ARE at risk.
Should the truth ever come out about how they eliminated the whole democratic party and supported the black mail and dirty tricks campaigns, they could easily lose their incomes - and to the very rich, losing one's income is the equivalent of losing one's life.
Over-sight - to pull the wool over the adversary's vision
"It only reinforces how the claims that have been stated repeatedly over the past few months that there is plenty of oversight of the intelligence community are completely hogwash."
Not exactly. There really is lots of "over-sight" going on.
In fact, many, many millions of tax payer dollars are spent on the people in charge of "over-sight" every year.
With semantics in the mix, the admin and its cheerleaders are telling the truth when they claim there is a shit load of very effective "over-sight" going on.
The problem is that in this case "oversight" means insuring that the crimes of the tri-letter agencies are not easily discovered by the "adversary", (often referred to as the American Public), and that leaks are covered up as quickly as possible.
Other aspects of federal "over-sight" include the rewriting of news reports to eliminate incriminating evidence, the harassment and blackmail of anyone who might be able to inform the public of the facts, and of course, financing TV and hollywood movies and series that depict spies as the good guys, to name only a few.
In the new Federal Dictionary, Over-sight means Preemptive and Hind-sight Cover-up.
So you see, they are telling the truth after all. There is lots of "over-sight" going on.
He'll likely hack the prison records and get released after 6 months and then hack the federal computers to remove his record of arrest and incarceration by changing the name on the documents.
The people holding privileged positions in government and finance and industry have finally realized that the criminal surveillance programs they supported because it gave them inside knowledge of other people's affairs, has been secretly turned upon themselves.
They have realized that all of their clandestine operations, illegal dealings, secret sex escapades and deepest, darkest secrets, are now recorded for posterity somewhere in the Federal Hall of Useful Secrets.
They are now aware that they too - like their victims - are open to blackmail by the tri-letter agencies of the federal government.
That they thought they were immune says much about their mindset. It also shows that these are exactly the wrong people to hold such high office and high privilege.
It should be very interesting to watch the various participants in the global blackmail scam turn on their enablers in the tri-letter agencies and then watch them all retract their claims as the triletter agencies strike back with letters of simple blackmail.
I must admit, I am very happy to know that the recordings of the once-secret criminal activities and immoral dealings of Feinstein and her Cheerleaders, now threaten their future of feeding at the public tax trough, as it has threatened the livelihoods of so many others among the public for so long.
However, the very fact that the tri-letter agencies possess the secrets of those in position of political, financial and industrial power, means that regardless of how bad this thing gets - regardless of how much political crime is exposed to the public over the next few years - blackmail by the FBI, CIA, NSA and possibly other, even more secret agencies, will prevent any justice from ever taking place.
Instead as always, a few low level scapegoats will be sacrificed on the alter of public opinion while the real criminals will receive promotions.
Except that politicians are people and people have appetites, and generally, the greater the income, the more esoteric and deviant the appetites.
The NSA, uses the tried and true MAFIA proven rule that every man has his price, and by surveilling every communication of every politician and official in every country, they have managed to create a very, very, precise price list.
You will indeed see the exact opposite of what you want "politicians around the world" to do in the very near future. They will cave in to US demands one after the other, as they receive the notification of the price tag next to their names on that list.
What is really scary for people in power in foreign lands, is that the NSA/FBI/GCHQ/CIA can now upload the "incriminating evidence" directly onto their individual computers at will, using the back-doors built into the software already installed, in such a way as to make it appear that the owner was responsible.
There is no way to fight back against such a system of coercion.
Blackmail is an awesome business model, when you're eavesdropping on the whole world.
If you mean government, methinks you did not read the article fully. There is no "they" currently available on earth to punish or prevent excess by corporations. The old "law enforcement organizations" that were once responsible for this sort of action, are currently busy insuring that the peasants cannot upset the mega wealthy in any way, and arresting school children who point their finger at someone in a threatening manner.
Once again, money has spoken, and "they" are on the payroll.
hmmm.... wasn't that the same argument they made against usury - commonly known as interest....
Methinks that argument is not going to get very far against an organization that considers profit first and morality last - if at all.
Big Pharma has but one agenda - to sell as many drugs as possible, to as many people as possible, forever.
Corporate mandates do not include a morality clause.
The only purpose of corporation is profit on an ever-escalating scale, by any means possible. This, regardless of their product or service, is the mandate of all corporations.
To a corporation, wrong means income capital lost, and immoral refers to laws that prevent the corporation from lying, cheating and using other business models such as blackmail, that could wrest more income, from more people, faster.
Your argument is as pointless as saying organized crime is wrong and immoral. It was designed to be that way.
This is simply another example of the desired results of NSA surveillance-fueld blackmail.
When some nation/group decides to make a stand against the Empire's desire to make the rules, all that the Corporocracy needs do is send each of the people composing the resisting force a message containing a list of their personal habits, foibles, sexploits and secret dealings. In no time at all, the opposition to the Empire's desires fade away as if it had never been, especially if a couple of the hard-liners in the group are suddenly killed in auto-accidents, or plane crashes.
After all, none of the black-mailed victims is likely to tell anyone that they are being black-mailed.
The MAFIA and Drug Cartels proved the process works almost every time and the FED has simply made the process into policy.
Now that was some of the best history rewriting I've come across on this or any other blog and deserves a class A rant.
"since most of us support a smaller government"
That its 100% bullshit should surprise nobody however, since you admit at the start to being a card carrying member of the Bullshit Party's A Team - the Republicans. Historically, they used to be the Democrats as far as their proclaimed mandate goes.
What you support is anything that will create a greater balance in your off shore accounts, just as the democrats do - the Bullshit Party's B Team. A party which historically was once the Republican Party, as far as their proclaimed mandate goes.
These "parties" are interchangeable, as they are simply private clubs composed of men and women who have already stolen millions from the public and desire more.
The purpose of Government is to insure the wealthy have a large population to exploit, and the name of the government Party in power is meaningless. One gang of millionaires is identical in its desires and needs to any other gang of millionaires.
This is why it was so easy to put in a ringer. The 2 party system was long ago corrupted to fulfill the desires of the wealthy at the expense of the citizens. The vote is a shell game, maintained as a placebo for the masses.
The corporations needed to complete the rewrite of American Laws to allow them to double and triple their ability to steal from the public and Bush was not done when his stolen term was over.
A ringer was needed because nobody in America would believe for one minute that another Republican was elected honestly after the destruction left by the 2 burning Bushes.
The Vote Scam would have been blown wide open, and that scam was one the wealthy had no desire to lose, as it was the only thing keeping the masses from sticking their heads on pikes along main street.
You are a businessman whose only desire is greater wealth. As with your business, you know that any lie that works is a good lie. You are obviously a successful businessman, but just as obviously, you know that what you wrote was nothing more than a good lie, and for most here, it will indeed work.
America's - and indeed the world's - greatest problem is that the middle class has no desire to see an end to the excesses of the Upper Class, because they desire to someday BE the Upper Class.
The only question here is - are you already a member of the ruling class, or are you simply another middle class wannabe who desires entry into that exclusive club, and are willing to do "whatever it takes" to get there?
One need only view his admin's accomplishments to realize that the vast majority of its successes have been Republican wet dreams since Bush the first.
Had they (s)elected another Republican to office after Bush the Second, even the thinking-challenged members of the US public would have realized the voting system was fixed.
A black republican running as a democrat was the ticket.
I think the poster is referring to the vast bulk of the public who use the internet for games, porn, shopping and chatting with friends, or not at all, and who - if they bother at all - get 99% of their daily news from TV, where none of this stuff is even mentioned, let alone covered in detail - making the statement a very, very accurate assessment of the current state of affairs.
More people might care if they were aware of the situation true, but this is not the case currently.
Good grief man, can you imagine how much money the Five Eyes pulls in every year on the sale of kiddie selfies alone, not to mention all the footage captured daily of youngsters surfing web porn one handed, unaware that their cameras are live and recording them for posterity and profit.
Even a government can steal only so much tax-payer money before its noticed, so various means of income are always appreciated to help finance secret operations such as a global dirty tricks program... like looking the other way while the banks rob the world blind for a few years, and then exchanging a Get Out Of Jail Free Card and a tax-payer funded Bailout in exchange for fifty percent of the take.
A trillion dollars will get you a lot of high tech.
Remember, these people see themselves as not only above the law, but as the very law itself.
Where there is no consequence upon actions, there is no restraint or limit to the means and methods that can be entertained and employed.
GCHQ and NSA are only two arms of the global surveillance network octopus that calls itself the Five Eyes.
What you learn about any one of the Five Eyes, describes all the others as well. As with organized crime, this is a "corporate based organization".
"Corporate Based Organization" meaning they have a board of directors, regular meetings between the leaders of all five member nations, and most importantly, stock holders.
Its member nations can be seen listed at the bottom of all the recent GCHQ documents describing the dirty tricks programs deployed on all civilians who utilize electronic communications.
Its stock holders are governments, multinational corporations, foreign and domestic billionaires, royalty and organized crime.
It would appear that the Next Evil Empire is already here.
If you are raped but are also drugged so that you do not wake up while being raped, then you were not raped.
Using this logic, murder is a crime that cannot actually happen, because the victims of murder cannot be aware that they were murdered... cuz they're dead.
Thus, if you were murdered, you were not murdered, because you did not know you were murdered.
You really gotta love these corporate criminal types.
The proof that the NSA is now composed of petty corporate college graduate types with dreams of being 007s, is that if they had done what any well trained secret spy agency would have done at the onset in a situation like this - deny that any of Snowden's documents were real, and claim that Snowden had been reprimanded while on the job numerous times for trying to create a parody web-site of the NSA using Power Point presentation graphics - there would be no controversy and Snowden would have found no audience, beyond the very edges of the fringe population who already suspected the NSA was a corporate terrorist group.
Instead, they proved immediately to the whole world, that all the documents confiscated by Snowden and released by the Guardian were 100% real and that the NSA was a criminal gang of incompetent juvenile assholes, by going after Snowden as if he was a mass murderer of babies.
This is what happens when fascist corporations teach graduate business students how to run a secret dirty tricks operation.
