I must say, this is certainly a great display of the way things deteriorate during the dissolution of a great nation into the chaos of fascism and finally extinction.
Its a lot like watching a fast motion film of an orange rotting and disintegrating.
Ive always wondered if there was some way that the population could resist the inevitable corruption of fascism once it was in control of the commercial and political institutions of a nation.
Apparently, the population is the very last group to actually realize that the nation is in peril and by the time that realization strikes home, the public is so disconnected from the fascist run system of controls and balances, that they really possess no access to the tools necessary to even begin a repair of the situation.
Instead, they run about in small groups with their hands in the air pointing at the horde of boogie men the fascists have manufactured for them - each group choosing a different boogie man and blaming all the woes of the world on that single imaginary evil.
Fascism is the green fungus one sees overwhelming the surface of the orange during its final stages of decomposition, and once the orange is no more than a dry dark stain, the spores of fascism simply blow away in the wind to seek out another orange.
What is always the most difficult thing for most people to understand is that institutions like this are designed to be the way they are. This is not an institution running amok at all. It is a smoothly working operation doing precisely what it was meant to do.
There is only one problem on Rikers Island, as far as the authorities are concerned.
Too much exposure.
People like Clemens, Schriro and Gumusdere are hired specifically because they are clueless minions willing to fill a chair for pay from the man to do nothing, so that such institutions can continue to function as they were designed.
The threat of possible cannabis legalization or decriminalization leads many officials, to hand out harsher and harsher penalties for ANY use of cannabis while the law still allows for punishment.
Its a control freak thing.
Legalization of Cannabis threatens the ability of people like District Superintendent Robin Ritchie, to utilize their positions of power to punish others. This is especially true among administrators of institutions dealing with children.
Actual Cure: Legalize and/or decriminalize Cannabis usage in any form, by anyone, today. Make it a criminal offense to manufacture and disseminate false information to the public about any substances, activity or process for the purpose of eliminating competition through criminalization.
Minor Fantasy Cure: Test all would be authorities for Egomania, Domination Inebriation and Assholitis and prevent such decrepit cretins from ever holding any form of public office, or any form of employment dealing with the care of children, the elderly or handicapped people.
PS - by decriminalize, I mean the removal of all legal language that pertains to Crime from all usage of Cannabis by anyone, making the use of Cannabis equal legally, to the use of carrots, cucumbers, wheat and other non-criminalized plant matter. IE Un-Criminalizing.
"Sure, if i won the lottery i'd booby trap my house and build the entire structure out of steel beams and concrete five layers thick with vault doors for entrances, spiked outer fences, and surveillance that can see for miles."
Unless you're a multi-millionaire in good standing with the rulers of your current local kingdom, I think you will find that attempting such "security" measures will be both, against the law, and sufficient grounds for an intense and intrusive investigation into your entire family-line's background to determine what subversive activities you or your ancestors have participated in, that are necessitating such a defensive stance on your part.
Remember, you are already guilty - the charges are pending.
I wonder how often such data-bases are used by small town officials to get re-elected, or at least to insure that opponents do not get elected. Nothing like knowing the private life of your opponents in detail to aid in those mud-slinging TV ads and other SOP Election Trickery.
When Monopolies, Black Mail and Extortion have become accepted as a normal business models, it should be quite obvious that the bad guys are winning the war.
Should be, but sadly it is obviously NOT obvious to most.
I think Donkey Dick is sort of an archetype that the members of the Most Transparent Administration In American History aspire to become, or at least hope to emulate.
In fact, I suspect that all of the pollution and poisons in our air, water and food may have caused a genetic dysfunction in the human brain where the ancient lizard brain at the center of the mammalian dual brain, gains complete control of the functions of the mammal brain.
This would produce a person with all the qualities of a reptile - a complete lack of compassion, total self-orientation, a cold-blooded, ruthless and opportunistic approach to self preservation, unable to feel remorse or regret, or view other life forms as anything but food or enemy - something between a reptile and a Klingon.
And Dick Cheney represents the culmination of this mutation.
I'm always amazed that nobody can see the obvious.
An employee gets fired from a job when the employee does something that the employer does NOT want its employees to do.
John Brennan has obviously done NOTHING that his employer did NOT want him to do.
To put that in a simpler phrase with fewer negatives;
Brennan has consistently done exactly what he has been told to do by his employer and thus, remains an exemplary employee, whose pay has probably increased continuously since he started the job.
To put that in an even simpler phrase;
Brenna is a paid liar, and just doing the job he was hired to do.
Why Brennan appears to be less than effective at his job, is entirely due to Snowden's expose' of the reality behind the standard plausible denials that Brennan was trained to vomit into the public's face on command.
If not for Snowden, everything Brennan (and his boss) has said, would have been accepted as untarnished gospel by the American public.
Sadly, due entirely to the position of power he holds and the high esteem Americans bestow on those who hold such positions, most Americans STILL accept everything Brennan (and his boss) say, as gospel.
Which is of course, why nothing is getting better and why people like Brennan keep on lying and keep their jobs.
Too bad all the Real American Patriots died off so long ago.
They sure as hell would not have put up with this government for hire and its candy-ass marriage to the Mob and Big Business.
These new folks, pretending to be Americans, are such insecure wussies that they're willing to sell grandma to the butchers if it means a promise of evading the butcher's block themselves - even though that promise, like all the rest before it, will soon be broken.
Who was it that said:
"You get the government you deserve."
==================================
"Today, Americans would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful!
This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence.
It is then that all peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil.
The one thing every man fears is the unknown.
When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being, granted to them by their world government."
"And yet, its apologists still think they can talk down to everyone on the other side of argument."
Like I said, successfully fooling most of the people all of the time is the main criteria for promotion (and favors) for members (and friends) of the Most Transparent Administration In American History.
This man, Ben Wittes, is just trying to do his best for his family by getting ahead; doing favors for those who can make his bank account larger and his position of power more secure.
He's just not very good at it yet.
It is after all, the American Way Today, and practice makes perfect.
One might notice, upon a rereading of the post, that I never said religion was the ONLY method of bypassing common sense and getting otherwise peaceful peasants to kill their neighbors - merely that it was the best method ever devised and the cheapest one as well, since the peasants are thus already pre-trained to believe that death is just a detour to the next life, or a vacation in God's Land, and all the rulers need to do is point towards the newest enemy and say "go get'em, boys".
In fact, I even presented the next best scenario - the false flag operation, where employees of the ruling families dress up as foreigners and terrorise the countryside - to place it in its simplest form.
Also, I sincerely do hope that you were not under the misconception that religion was somehow a new invention, and that peoples of the past had none of their own. or that the religions they did have were less omnipresent in their lives, simply because they were not "organized".
While it is obvious that the truly effective modern religions are all heavily organized and run like corporations, (and in my opinion, have at heart the very same goals), religions in the past played a far more crucial and direct role in the every day life of our ancestors among the non-elite.
From birth to grave, the "word" of those ancient gods - (also not so coincidentally translated into people-speak by the human members of a very wealthy and politically active religious order) - directed our ancestors' daily routines as much or more than any modern organized religion does today.
In fact, I would say that modern organized religions face far greater numbers of dissenters in their own land than any ancient religion.
Most ancient wars were also waged over religious matters and differences. In human history, only a hand full of wars have been openly caused by secular matters, although in truth, economic concerns were always directly responsible as the underlying drive of the ruling class to utilize the religious triggers that spurred their peasantry to war.
The primary difference in fact would be that back then, it was city VS city, rather than nation VS nation. That is the only real result that organizing religion has accomplished - bigger wars.
The NSA has indeed chosen the logo of a comic book mega villain, and it does indeed see itself as unstoppable and omniscient, yet, it is still perceived by the public as merely a mismanaged and rather incompetent agency, trying to do a difficult job in the face of extreme duress.
Even though it has been shown to lie in response to any questions about its activities and to steal secrets and research data from foreign companies and to attack US citizens with the intent of ruination of character, it is still perceived as an agency attempting to protect the US from terrorists.
Even after the whole world witnesses NSA leaders lying to the US public and even to congress itself, those leaders continue to deny they lied and spin even bigger lies to try and regain public trust, rather than simply regaining public trust by telling the truth - and still they are trusted by the general population.
Look around you. This arena is not the only one in which a cadre of apparently anti-US "soldiers" are waging war on the US public and the American Way of Life. Your education system is under attack. Your banks are working on new ways of scamming the public again as they did successfully only a few years ago. Your labor system is under attack as groups like ALEC and the Koch Brothers rewrite your laws in the background then pay politicians to install the rewrites under the guise of helping the children or fighting crime.
Your president is a Democrat who has fulfilled every single one of George Bush's Republican Dreams and whose advisors are all fascist members of the very corporate institutions that secretly threaten the future of the USA, and indeed the world itself.
In truth, the American Way of Life is under attack on every front, but of course, your information media is owned by the very people waging this secret war against you and keeps you perfectly dis-informed as to the state of the war and the connections between the players.
I give the NSA exactly the amount of credit due to any squad of elite soldiers, who excels in their specific field of undercover destabilization and conquest.
“If you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.” Sun Tzu - The Art of War
If you do not know that an enemy is waging war upon you; using your own legal and political system to destabilize and destroy your social and economic infrastructure, you are guaranteed to lose EVERY single battle and die at the hands of an enemy you trusted as a friend.
"..it has had the US dancing like a fraidy bitch for well over a decade now"
That just happens to be the best paid, and best funded fraidy bitch on earth.
53 billion dollars a year worth of fraidy bitch in fact.
I think the Fraidy Bitch not only learned the lesson well and long ago, but manufactured the excuse, specifially in order to pay its self a king's ransom every year, forever, at your expense.
I've always found that if you follow the money, you will always find the real bad guys.
"They put the chips in a bag, mixed them up and then passed them around so no one knew who had what SIM chip, which eliminated that method of targeting."
This particular scenario has been used almost verbatim a great number of times to date and it always made me wonder if it was an actual event described by an actual terrorist to someone who then reported it to the west somehow, or if it was just a bit of Think-Tank propaganda tossed into the debate to keep the US public from realizing that the drones are actually killing innocent parties and missing the officially designated terrorists altogether.
This scenario reeks of the western "suicide bomber" mythos, by implying that the terrorists are letting fate decide which one of them is carrying the next to be droned SIM in his phone that day, and thus willingly taking the hit, along with whoever he is sitting with at the time, for martyrdom sake.
I mean, if you were a terrorist group aware of being spied on and aware that this was the method used, would you not consider it to be far less self-destructive to simply replace all of your terrorist gangs' NSA tagged SIMs with black-market SIMs from say, Russia or China, and to toss the NSA tagged chips into the houses or businesses of people you did not like.... so the US could drone-execute them for you.
Doe anyone know the origin of the SIM chip Bag story??
All I can say, is that we really must all thank our national uni-god for religions, because without religions, we would have a huge over-population problem and would have run out of food, water and air long, long ago, due entirely to the difficulty of secular governments to convince us to leave our families and farms and kill our neighbors on a regular basis.
Without our various competing religions, all of our international population purges, or wars, would have to be initiated through false flag operations, which always pose the threat of exposing our leaders as the inhuman opportunists they really are and which cost a lot to pull off successfully.
With religion, there is no need for logic or compassion or consideration of consequences, as hate and revenge alone will carry the day and turn farmers and laborers into murderous soldiers on both sides of any population purge, as often and for as long as needed, free of charge.
If not for religion, we would no longer exist as a species on earth. We would have fucked ourselves into oblivion centuries ago.
Well why not. Look at how many of the events that make up US history are actually rewrites designed to protect the guilty - and note please that ALL of them are still being taught as truth.
It will work just fine. Ten years form now, Clapper will be seen historically as a pillar of honesty, bravely performing a difficult job under severe duress, caused by nasty evil men who were trying to make him make a mistake.
On the other hand, Mister Wyden might end up becoming the villain in this newly minted (hi)story.
And conveniently, along comes ISIS, the Hollywood Terror Organization, to help insure that the now huge Anti-terrorism Industry, (otherwise known as Corporate Friends of the Government), gets their yearly budget of a measly $53 billion, raised to a more robust $100-150 billion a year.
Then again, considering the cost of yachts, bimbos and cocaine, maybe they will need 200 billion a year.
I am sure that it will not take too many more gruesome U-Tube videos to get the cowering American tax payer behind the new budgets.
More spook money and less freedom equals more safety right.
As for homegrown PR, all the NSA needs to do now is to make a cartoon showing the Anti-Terrorism Budget as a big Captain America type shield, being held up by a smiling but sternly handsome and well-ripped, Hollywood American Spy-Guy with the NSA logo boldly printed on his super-spy-guy suit, and portray Terrorists as missiles being fired out of a cannon labelled ISIS, and bouncing harmlessly off of the shield.... and then stick it up on U-Tube.
Yeah, that would work....
Maybe put the face of Mister Shea on the Spy Guy.....
It is after all, a political proof, otherwise known as the Big Lie, dependant on an emotional trigger, not a scientific proof.
And the "think-tanks" that constitute the government's brain, obviously consider a black-clad and black-masked, blatantly visible, extremely well-organized, incredibly well-equipped, Hollywood-Die-Hard-style-Evil-Acting and Boldly USA-hating Terrorist Gang to be far more effective in swaying those in the general public who now believe 9/11 was a real external terrorist attack, into supporting greater anti-terrorist expenditures, escalating drone strikes on foreign targets, more war in the middle east, increased US and foreign citizen surveillance and more unconstitutional actions by all branches of government.
Because the Federal Government's reaction to ISIS will be greater anti-terrorist expenditures, escalating drone strikes on foreign targets, more war in the middle east, increased US and foreign citizen surveillance, and more unconstitutional actions by all branches of the US government.....all on the taxpayer's dime, with their apparent consent.
You really don't have to fool all the People all the time.
In a pseudo-democracy, you only need to fool a majority of the people all the time.

Because the Federal Government's reaction to ISIS will be greater anti-terrorist expenditures, escalating drone strikes on foreign targets, more war in the middle east, increased US and foreign citizen surveillance, and more unconstitutional actions by all branches of the US government.....all on the taxpayer's dime, with their apparent consent.
You really don't have to fool all the People all the time.
In a pseudo-democracy, you only need to fool a majority of the people all the time.
