 The NSA Surveillance Story

Since the Guardian story about the NSA seizure of the Verizon phone records of millions of Americans dropped late last week, the administration and its allies have been asserting that privacy wasn't invaded because intelligence agencies didn't listen in on those calls.

But since the first report, we've learned more about operation PRISM, a secret operation that has gained steam since its inception in 2007 that lets the National Security Agency and the FBI tap directly into the servers of nine U.S. Internet companies with access to audio, video, photographs, emails, documents and connection logs. 

And neither side of the political aisle is buying the White House's defense that phone records did not include snooping on the content of the calls, that email and web habits of U.S. citizens weren't monitored, and that all activities started in some form during the George W. Bush years. 

It doesn't help the Obama administration that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told a Democratic senator under oath in March that the NSA wasn't spying on Americans - "wittingly." You can see the video of this here. 

This story continues to unfold. Over the weekend, the NSA whistleblower outed himself. But is Edward Snowden, the NSA contract employee who talked to Glenn Greenwald of the Guardian, really a whistleblower? Read this post by Rick Moran and let us know what you think in the comments section.

Google Needs Extra Time to Spy on Your Kids

It seems that Google is constantly falling afoul of conservatives, consumers, pundits, regulators and really everyone else on earth (except for the Obama campaign) for its privacy-infringing tendencies.

It got hammered for "alleged" spying in the Safarigate scandal, where it wound up agreeing to a record-breaking $22.5 million fine in connection with charges it surreptitiously tracked Apple Safari users who Google had said could opt out of tracking, and did what Google said was necessary to opt out. This spying of course enabled Google to grab data it shouldn't have had, to improve its highly profitable targeted ad business, and do it in a way that amounted to a violation of its contract with users. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

"The Destruction of our Constitutional Republics and How to Rebuild Them." 

Bill's description of the potential topics covered in this presentation......  After a brief introduction of how our original 13 States and the United States of America were created, I will discuss the so-called 14th Amendment, the effects this alleged Amendment has had on Pennsylvania, the other States of the Union and the United States of America, and "Nullification" as the "Rightful Remedy".  I will also briefly discuss other major historical events that have made today's unconstitutional governments in America possible. For example: The way the teaching law changed after 1870;  "The Committee of Ten" and "Common Core"; The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and the loss of the Tenth Amendment;  Zoning and Property Rights.

1. Pension Reform Pamphlet / Budget Proposal

a) Gov. Corbett's budget proposal contains elements of public pension reform (and liquor privatization). It is due June 30, so we must inform PA citizens to support it. I've attached a pamphlet I made for PA's public pension crisis. Print it out and place it on as many front porches as you can (no mailboxes) before June 30. If you can't print "manual duplex" (printing on both sides), you can pick some up from our house any time - there will be a box on our porch with copies inside starting Tuesday June 11. We're at 304 Shirley Drive, Harleysville.

PAMPHLET

b) Call/email/meet with your representative yourself about pension reform and liquor privatization. You know the urgency from Bill H's presentation at the May meeting.

LEGISLATIVE TALKING POINTS
Pick and choose from these suggestions, Add your own   

PENNSYLVANIA PENSION REFORM

* I support Gov Corbett's budget proposal that includes badly needed pension reform

* I ASK THAT YOU SUPPORT GOV CORBETT'S PENSION REFORM PLAN AND ADVISE ME YOUR DECISION

* The $41 pension debt hole is deep enough, it is time to reform an unsustainable public employee pension plan

* As a retiree I have a very limited source of funds to pay increasing school taxes due to rising pension costs

* It is past time to right size the public employee pension plan that the legislature has bloated with unjustified added benefits

* My school expenses will increase at least 3% not for education but only for pension cost increase

* Lack of reform will cause the cost of pensions for us taxpayers to increase 260% or $4.5 BILLION by 2016.

* My taxes will increase over $1,000 just for employee pension increase

LIBERTY FOR LIQUOR

* I support HB 790 that will privatize our state operated liquor stores has been introduced in the House

* The state operated liquor stores are a sad sack operation that only offer very choices and limited hours. The employees have very limited product choice.

* Forty eight states long ago have successfully abandoned state operated liquor business with no increase in alcohol related deaths, accidents and abuse.

* Private enterprise will bring alcohol taxes back to Pennsylvania that have been flowing to our free enterprise our border states.

* There are allegations of misdeeds by the political appointed alcohol commission members

Audit The IRS Rally: Save The Date!

Were you targeted by the IRS for your political beliefs? Did you receive extra scrutiny for promoting limited government, the constitution, and fiscal responsibility? If not, will you be next?

What: Audit the IRS Rally
When: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 from Noon - 2pm
Where: West Lawn of the US Capitol

Join us on Wednesday, June 19th at 12pm on the West Lawn of the US Capitol as we come together to rally against the IRS. It's time that Washington sees first-hand just how outraged the American people are by these discriminatory acts.

In the spirit of what Becky Gerritson of Wetumpka Tea Party so elegantly said in her testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee:

"We are patriotic Americans. We peacefully assemble. We petition our government. We exercise our right to free speech and we don't understand why our government tried to stop us. We aren't here as a serf or a vassal. We're not begging our lords for mercy. We are born free American citizens and we're telling our government that you've forgotten your place. Its not your responsibility to look our for our well being and monitor our speech. Its not your right to assert an agenda. The post that you occupy exists to preserve American liberty. You've sworn to perform that duty and you have faltered."

Becky Gerritson gives testimony to Ways and Means Committee on IRS targeting her Tea Party group

WE'RE GOING TO WASHINGTON, D.C! On Wednesday, June 19, 2013 Tea Party Patriots (and maybe some other grassroots groups), are putting together an "Audit the IRS" Rally in D.C. Right now, the bus situation is up in the air, but TPP is working on it. In the meantime, I suggest that as group leaders/coordinators, you put together car pools and get as many of your members to Washington, D.C. as possible on the 19th. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT FOR TPP to make bus arrangements! If they put something together, we'll know about it and get the word out immediately. Set up carpools and be on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol by 12:00PM. If you're carpooling and you live in the Philadelphia area, leave no later than 6:00AM, otherwise you'll spend 2-3 hours trying to get from Delaware to D.C. As far as parking goes, you can park your car at Union Station for $20.00 for the day and walk or take a cab over to the Capitol. Below is a link from the TPP website. Please pass it on to everyone on your groups' email list and get as many of your group members to D.C. as possible.

 

If you are a member or if you are interested in going with us, our group, the Philadelphia Tea Party Patriots-Lower Bucks will be carpooling. We will be leaving from our house at 6:00AM SHARP! (If you're late, you can catch up with us on I-95!) Our address is 3585 Aster Avenue, Feasterville Trevose, PA 19053. I will be driving and I'm asking for other volunteers to drive also.

From a trusted friend:

As some of you may know, I am associated with Coventry Christian Schools as a parent of a graduate (2010) and as member of the Board of Trustees.   Last October we spent a wonderful evening honoring Mark Niehls at our revitalized Founder's Dinner and celebrated our shared heritage in the remarkable community that is Coventry Christian Schools. Our vision for future Founder's Dinners is to inspire and inform not only our alumni and current CCS families but to inspire and inform the Tri-County Area and even our region by hosting speakers and artists who can uniquely assist us in celebrating the heritage, core values, and mission of CCS while also lifting our vision for an even greater future built upon the foundation of our past. The caliber of our speakers and guest artists should provide us with wonderful opportunities to share our CCS story with new partners in Christian education. Proceeds from the dinner will be applied to our annual Coventry Kids Fund for CCS scholarships.

This year we are proud to announce that our distinguished guest and speaker is Dr. Benjamin Carson, and our dinner's theme is "Faith of Our Fathers: The Role of Faith in American Schools." Please join us as we welcome Dr. Carson to the Tri-County Area and celebrate the great things God is doing at CCS!  

Dr. Carson is a highly regarded neurosurgeon and motivational speaker who has addressed various audiences across the country. He is one of the most honored and recognized physicians in the world and holds more than 60 honorary doctorate degrees along with hundreds of awards and citations. He is a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States. He is the author of five books and is the founder of the Carson Scholars Fund. The 2009 award-winning movie entitled Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story, starring Cuba Gooding, Jr. as Carson, premiered on TNT and is based on his memoir. Dr. Carson is an authentic disciple of Christ, has been married to his wife Candy for more than 37 years, and is the father of three sons.

The 2013 Founder's Dinner, which will once again be a part of our Homecoming festivities, will be held at the historic Sunnybrook Ballroom in Pottstown on Sunday, October 13th, 2013. Doors will open at 4:30pm, followed by dinner at 5:15. Dress will be business/professional.    Tickets will be priced at $100 until May 15th, then will be $125, so reserve your tickets for the reduced price.

Pennsylvania

PA Liquor Sales Privatization 

ACTION ITEM:

Now is the time to email and call you PA State Senator and urge him or her to support the privatization of booze in Pennsylvania. If you don't take action now we may miss the opportunity to get the state out of the booze business.

The bill has passed the PA House and is being held up in the PA Senate. Below is a sample email and several additions that you can cut and paste from.

To contact your PA State Senator go to the following link:

http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/member_information/contact.cfm?body=S

If you are not sure who your PA Senator is go to the following site and input your zip and address if necessary:

http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/findyourlegislator/index.cfm?CFID=56012535&CFTOKEN=68075381

Examples for your use:

Dear Senator _________,

Now that the final hearing in the Senate on the House-approved proposal to privatize Pennsylvania's liquor system is over it is time to step up and end the government booze monopoly.

I urge you to support liquor privatization. It is time to end the state's conflict of interest and get out of the booze promotion business and establish proper regulation of the industry.

Thank you,

Additional ideas to cut and paste from:

New polls released from the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association show what I think we all know the majority of Pennsylvanians support liquor privatization. In meetings that I have attended virtually 100% of the attendees raise their hand to support state store privatization.

I am tired of special interest like Wendell Young holding millions of Pennsylvanians hostage so he can retain his nearly $300,000 a year job on the backs of workers making $21.00 per hour. The legislation I urge you to support will help state store workers transition to new jobs and allow consumers more choice. This is a win-win for workers and consumers. The only losers are the special interests.

The PLCB's wholesale monopoly can't serve current, much less expanded, retail outlets, restaurants and taverns. The PLCB does not deliver to restaurants, bars and taverns. In fact, the PLCB contracts with private companies for warehousing and even delivery to their own state stores. In addition, the PLCB establishes and promotes its own private label wines. Why are they wasting money on these promotions? Why are they creating their own brands when the market is full of plenty of private brands? This kind of monopolist management does not make sense for Pennsylvania taxpayers and consumers. 

RedState Morning Briefing

For June 11, 2013

1.  Over Criminalization and the NSA

The issue of over criminalization fits well with the issue of government overreach these days.

There is a maxim that one cannot plead ignorance of the law. But that maxim was premised on common law and the basic understanding that Americans should know something is or is not wrong through general common sense and application of obvious laws and rules to similar situations.

Courts, prosecutors, and the government generally still enforce this maxim, but it is harder and harder to see justification for it. In some cases - particularly with businesses - individuals and organizations are expected to know the laws of foreign countries whose laws our government acknowledges via treaty.

The Wall Street Journal has chronicled the absurdity of over criminalization. But what is worse is the abusiveness of the government in trying to get its way. This plays directly into the NSA PRISM program. Beyond the breaches of privacy, I hope disruptive candidates like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul pick up this issue.

One of the best exampled, tied directly to the NSA, is that of Joseph P. Nacchio, the former CEO of Qwest, who is now in jail. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

2.  PRISM Must Go

The Administration's blithe lack of concern about the threat of terrorism is accentuated by the way in which his Administration completely ignored the concerns the Russian intelligence services had about the visit of deceased Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev's to Russia while sending out minions to label evangelicals and Catholics as national security threats. Indeed, while Tsarnaev was obtaining training from fellow Islamic radicals in Russia the US government busied itself with persecuting the notorious "Hutaree militia" for plotting a violent overthrow of the US government (acquitted on all charges) and arresting four geriatrics in Georgia for talking smack in a Waffle House.

NSA "Whistleblower" An Enemy Agent?
By Cliff Kincaid  |  June 10, 2013
The fingerprints of America's enemies and adversaries are all over the disclosures about the NSA's terrorist surveillance program. It is significant that NSA contract employee Edward Snowden would flee to Hong Kong-controlled by China-and that he would select Glenn Greenwald, a far-left columnist, as his mouthpiece.

Just What Does Samantha Power Believe, and Why Do Some Conservatives Support Her Appointment?
By Ron Radosh  |  June 10, 2013
What precisely do we know about Samantha Power, the president's new nominee for the post of ambassador to the United Nations? I ask the question for one reason: Power, it seems, has won the support of some conservatives, as well as some friends of Israel.

Concentration Camp Obama

        In the 1942 Jack Benny/Carole Lombard movie "To Be Or Not To Be" - about a troupe of Polish actors trying to flee the Nazis - one villain, a Col. Ehrhardt, is referred to as "Concentration Camp Ehrhardt," to which Benny quips, "He does the concentrating. The Poles do the camping."

       Since he came to office 4 1/2 long years ago, Obama has been concentrating on destroying the conservative movement - eliminating any opposition to the socialist republic he's creating. In a few years, many of us could be "camping" in a very real sense.

       If that sounds alarmist, read on. And try to see the big picture - not snooping, secret e-mail accounts, official harassment and intimidation, sundry assaults on the First Amendment and using the IRS as a presidential goon squad in isolation- but as a deliberate, coordinated, far-reaching plan to use the machinery of government to crush dissent.

We'll Keep the Red Flag Flying Here

Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog 

Ever since FDR made it his campaign song in 1932 while running for office during the Great Depression, the unofficial anthem of the Democratic Party has been that Tin Pan Alley classic, "Happy Days are Here Again." But no matter how often the old Victor spun, it would not be until well after Roosevelt's death that happy days would be here again.

Like Hope and Change, Happy Days are Here Again was a blandly optimistic and non-specific promise that good times were coming. Someday the happy days would arrive, an appropriate enough sentiment for a song whose pivotal moment came in the movie "Chasing Rainbows" where it was sung to reassure a cuckolded husband who is threatening to kill himself. And in an even more appropriate bit of symbolism, the actual movie footage of that moment is as lost as the happy times.

No matter how often the Democratic Party cheats on the American people, it can always break out a new rendition of "Happy Days are Here Again" to win them back. And even if the happy days never seem to actually arrive, the promise of "So long sad times" and "Howdy gay times" where "your troubles and cares are gone" is always a winner.

While the American Democratic Party may not have an official anthem, the British Labour Party does and its anthem, "The Red Flag" would be entirely appropriate for the new Democratic Party that no longer has anything in common with Thomas Jefferson or Andrew Jackson.

It might be awkward to imagine Harry Reid or Joe Manchin trying to make it through verses like, "The people's flag is deepest red" and the sonorous chorus, "Then raise the scarlet standard high /Within its shade we live and die/Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer/We'll keep the red flag flying here."

They would probably look almost as awkward singing it as Labour Party leader Ed Milliband does, but you could easily imagine Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett belting it out. And that would be only right because while The Red Flag never gets around to mentioning Manchester, despite its popularity there, it does namecheck two cities. "In Moscow's vaults its hymns were sung/Chicago swells the surging throng."

Three Administration Lies to the Public That Must Have Consequences

President Obama, speaking to the American public, Friday afternoon:

If people can't trust not only the executive branch but also don't trust Congress, and don't trust federal judges, to make sure that we're abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we're going to have some problems here.

In the specific issue that Obama is discussing, i.e., oversight of the National Security Agency's vast data collection on American citizens, there is the problem in that no one within that system of oversight has the role or duty to speak on behalf of those being monitored, or about to be monitored. The executive branch knows what it wants - it wants to monitor people. The Congress may or may not want to advocate the argument, "hey, that person hasn't done anything wrong, you have no good reason to collect that information on them", but judging from what we now know, no one argued that perspective very strongly. And the oversight of the judicial branch is pretty weak when we know the Department of Justice goes "judge shopping" when their initial requests are rejected. If the executive branch can keep going to new judges until they get the decision they want, there isn't really much of a check on their power, is there?

Regarding that alleged congressional oversight, Senator Ron Wyden, Oregon Democrat, is coming awfully close to accusing the president of lying:

Since government officials have repeatedly told the public and Congress that Patriot Act authorities are simply analogous to a grand jury subpoena, and that intelligence agencies do not collect information or dossiers on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans, I think the executive branch has an obligation to explain whether or not these statements are actually true.

Wyden's suspicion is driven by a lie he appears to have been told under oath, one we'll look at in a moment. But more generally, we have seen quite a few folks in the executive branch abuse the public's trust and then see no real consequences for it.

LIE ONE: White House press secretary Jay Carney's November 28 explanation about changes made to talking points about the Benghazi attack:

The White House and the State Department have made clear that the single adjustment that was made to those talking points by either of those two - of these two institutions were changing the word "consulate" to "diplomatic facility," because "consulate" was inaccurate. Those talking points originated from the intelligence community. They reflect the IC's best assessments of what they thought had happened.

You can see the twelve rounds of revisions here, well more than a single adjustment, and mostly in response to State Department objections.

After it became clear that Carney had put forth false information, he dug in deeper. Carney paid for his lie with two days of hostile questions from the White House Press Corps . . . and then the storm seemed to have blown over.

LIE TWO: Attorney General Eric Holder, testifying under oath before the House Judiciary Committee, May 15:

Well, I would say this. With regard to the potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material, that is not something that I've ever been involved in, heard of or would think would be a wise policy.

Michael Isikoff later reported the precise opposite:

The Justice Department pledged Friday to review its policies relating to the seizure of information from journalists after acknowledging that a controversial search warrant for a  Fox News reporter's private emails  was approved "at the highest levels" of the Justice Department, including "discussions" with Attorney General  Eric Holder.

There is a claim from the usual suspects - Media Matters - that Holder is in the clear because he was asked about prosecutions for publishing classified information, not solicitation for classified information; they assert that the two actions are totally different. A pretty thin reed for a perjury defense, and one that utterly fails the standard of the chief law-enforcement officer of the United States informing the public of his department's operations.

For us to believe that, it would mean that during the entire Justice Department discussion of prosecuting Fox News' James Rosen for soliciting the information, no one suggested or mentioned prosecuting Rosen for publishing it. Remember, Holder didn't just say he didn't agree with that idea; he said he never heard of the idea.

LIE THREE: Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, testifying under oath before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on March 12, responding to questions from Wyden:

Wyden: "Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?"

Clapper: "No, sir."

Wyden: "It does not?"

Clapper: "Not wittingly. There are cases where they could, inadvertently perhaps, collect-but not wittingly." 

The subsequent explanation from Clapper, to National Journal: "What I said was, the NSA does not voyeuristically pore through U.S. citizens' e-mails. I stand by that."

But that's not what he was asked, nor was it even close to what he was asked. In fact, the light from what he was asked takes several years to reach a question about voyeurism.

If your excuse is that you are incapable of discerning what "any type of data at all" means, you are no longer allowed to keep a job title that has the word "intelligence" in it.

This weekend, the Guardian reported, "During a 30-day period in March 2013, the documents indicate, the NSA collected nearly 3 billion pieces of intelligence from within the United States."

Two of these three were under oath before Congress; the other was to the press, with the cameras rolling, on a topic of high public interest and great controversy.

If Obama were to ask for the resignations of Carney, Holder, and Clapper tomorrow, all of us who don't trust him would have to at least acknowledge that he's trying to set a better standard for consequences of lying to the public. But all of us know that he will do nothing of the sort.

Instead, he will continue to give speeches where he expresses incredulity that the public wouldn't trust him and his administration.

'Hi, I'm Edward, and I'll Be Your Whistleblower for This Week'

The Guardian introduces us to their source: "The individual responsible for one of the most significant leaks in US political history is Edward Snowden , a 29-year-old former technical assistant for the CIA and current employee of the defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. Snowden has been working at the National Security Agency for the last four years as an employee of various outside contractors, including Booz Allen and Dell."

Clapper's coming for him: "Office of DNI states bluntly that anyone with a security clearance is obligated to "protect classified information & abide by the law.'"

Farhad Manjoo: "So one guy who works for a CONTRACTOR for the NSA had access to 'everything.' This doesn't inspire confidence in this agency's data security."

Hey, It's Not Like That Country's a Powder Keg with Huge Religious Influence, Right?

Here's a strong guess on the next place to see a popular uprising:

Every nation bordering Syria-Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, Turkey-is being drawn into the conflict there. The leaders in these countries are worried, to say the least. But why is Saudi Arabia in a panic?

None of the Syrian warfare is spilling over into Saudi Arabia. Iraq and Jordan serve as buffers. Still, hundreds if not thousands of Saudis (nobody's counting) are pouring into Syria to fight with one or another of the factions trying to unseat Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. And that has Saudi leaders terrified.

Saudi Arabia's most important cleric, Grand Mufti Sheik Abdulaziz al-Sheik, recently warned that there was no religious reason for Saudis to join the Syrian war.

"The situation in Syria is chaotic due to the proliferation of armed groups that do not fight under a unified banner," he said. "This is not considered jihad, which must be approved by rulers." Among those rulers he seemed to be including himself. And a year ago, Saudi Arabia's Council of Senior Ulema, the state's highest religious authority, issued [1] a fatwa prohibiting fighting in Syria without permission from the authorities.

King Abdullah also warned Saudis to stay out of it-as have many other Saudi government officers over many months-to no good effect.

Why are they so concerned? Well, all of them remember well what happened almost ten years ago when thousands of Saudis joined the jihads against the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan and then came back and turned their weapons on Saudis and foreigners who lived there. Hundreds died. . . .

Today most of the Saudi men fighting in Syria have joined the Nusra Front [3], an al-Qaeda affiliate-giving further worry to Saudi leaders.

ADDENDA: I looked forward to reading my advance review copy of Brad Thor's latest probably eerily prescient thriller novel Hidden Order . . . and then Mrs. Campaign Spot picked it up, and now I won't get it back until she's done, because as those who are familiar with Thor know, you don't just "put down" one of his books...

NRO Digest - June 6, 2013

Today on National Review Online . . .

MONDAY BRIEF

Balancing Liberty and Security

The Foundation

"Liberty is not to be enjoyed, indeed it cannot exist, without the habits of just subordination; it consists, not so much in removing all restraint from the orderly, as in imposing it on the violent." --Fisher Ames

Essential Liberty

"America is built on the principle of 'ordered liberty,' which seeks to maximize both security and freedom at the same time. The art of governance, then, is to establish rules that let the good guys get the bad guys without infringing on the freedom of the people. The Constitution doesn't give us a rule book to do that. Instead, it sets up security and freedom to fight it out with each other, constantly, like two indefatigable pit bulls. The struggle is intentional, so neither side wins out, but neither gets compromised. Freedom and security tear at each other until we get answers that reasonably address both. So, if people stop raising objections every time security might look like it's winning out, the system will fail. ... In short, neither full transparency nor just eschewing big data will work to secure both security and freedom. We don't and shouldn't trust government to follow its own rules on its own, but we need government to do its job right and find means to assure us it's doing its job in compliance with the law. That is a hard task, and sadly we have an administration with a mediocre track record of getting it right." --Heritage Foundation's James Jay Carafano

Government

"As a senator and presidential candidate, Obama routinely tore into the Patriot Act as if it was worse than the Espionage Act of 1917. Now, not only is he using the Patriot Act to spy on, well, pretty much everyone, his Justice Department actually used the Espionage Act to label a journalist a possible co-conspirator in espionage. But after the schadenfreude wears off, the question remains: Is this bad policy? ... After every terrorist attack, everyone always asks, 'Why didn't the government connect the dots?' Well, what the NSA is doing is connecting dots. ... I don't have much confidence in this administration. But I don't have an abundance of confidence in government generally. That's one of the things I love about America: The default position is to be skeptical of government, no matter who's in charge. ... The arrival of 'big data' ... creates opportunities for government (and corporations) that were literally unimaginable not long ago. ... Just because government could, in theory, poison people doesn't mean it shouldn't, in practice, inoculate people. But we're in uncharted territory, and a healthy dose of old-fashioned American skepticism seems warranted, no matter who's in charge." --columnist Jonah Goldberg

From: Gary L. Bauer


Who is Edward Snowden?

We now know something about the source of national security leaks that have bedeviled the Obama Administration in recent days. Even if you are a conservative happy to see the White House struggling with scandals, Snowden does not appear to be any conservative's hero.

First he chooses to flee to Hong Kong, which is controlled by China. If your primary concern is the violation of individual human rights, why run into the belly of the beast?

In describing his motivations, he uttered one phrase that jumped out at me. Snowden said, "...I hope this will trigger [a debate] among citizens around the globe about what kind of world we want to live in." His concern is not for America, but the world.

He described himself as a disillusioned Obama supporter, saying, "I believed in Obama's promises." Yet he voted for a third party in 2008, presumably for someone to the left of Obama. According to the conservative Washington Examiner, he made political donations to Ron Paul in 2012.

Whether you cheered the disclosures or are conflicted about them, it is worth noting that the most voluminous leakers of America's national security data in recent history have all been leftists. From Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in the '50s to Daniel Ellsberg in '70s, to Julian Assange and Bradley Manning, a disgruntled homosexual. If Snowden complicates the story, so do other weekend developments. (See next item.)


Prism vs. Verizon

According to multiple sources, including people on Capitol Hill, the Internet data collection program known as Prism was aimed exclusively at individuals overseas and not the American people. That stands in contrast to the massive collection of phone data (though not actual conversations). That program, in which Verizon was ordered to turn over massive amounts of data, was aimed at arguably every phone number in the U.S.

I don't believe the leak of the Verizon program represents any threat to our national security. So I am not conflicted about that at all. Americans have a right to debate whether we are comfortable with the government, and particularly this administration, collecting that much information.

The Prism leak, however, is much more troubling from a national security stand point, and certainly appears to have aided the jihadists who continue to work hard to find ways to kill us.

Here's something else to consider: We know the Chinese are engaged in an ongoing campaign of cyber-warfare against us. And yet Snowden essentially "defects" to China after exposing the details of our own cyber intelligence capabilities. One former CIA officer suggested that Snowden's actions could be "potential Chinese espionage," especially coming on the heels of Obama's meeting with China's new president.


Obama Has No Credibility

The New York Times is not happy with President Obama. In fact, the Times even declared that the president has "lost all credibility" on the issue of electronic surveillance. I agree, but not entirely for the same reasons.

Obama's defenders insist that the mining of phone data has helped us prevent attacks. Perhaps so, but what about these cases:

• The government had much more specific information than call volume regarding Fort Hoot shooter Major Nidal Hasan. It had Internet postings, his emails with a known America-hating jihadist and his rants on the job. Yet with data much more specific than anything collected by Verizon, this administration and its politically correct minions in our military were unable to act and soldiers were murdered.
• The administration was directly informed about the Tsarnaev brothers by Russian intelligence. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was on the terrorist watch list. But as the broken bodies were being picked up off the streets of Boston, all we got was an avalanche of excuses as to why it was unreasonable to expect the government to pick these two terrorists off the "watch list."
• In Benghazi there had been warnings that Al Qaeda was going to strike on the anniversary of 9/11. Internet postings and rumors were rampant. The militia hired to protect Ambassador Stevens told us it would not do so. Yet the administration allowed our ambassador and State Department employees to walk right into the worst nest of jihadists in the whole sorry state of Libya.
  
  And in spite of all their data collection, the Obama White House then tried to tell us that it wasn't Al Qaeda, but Muslim movie critics who burned our consulate and murdered our ambassador and three other Americans.

All of this suggests that when it has specific information tied to specific names, the administration is often unable to save American lives. So how are we supposed to believe that billions and billions of bytes of phone call data are essential to keeping us safe?


"War On Terror Is Over"

A constant theme of this administration has been, "The war on terror is over." Barack Obama ran as a candidate in 2008 on a promise to withdraw from Iraq. In 2012, he vowed to end the war in Afghanistan too. And just days ago, he essentially declared that the global war on terror is over.

Now I disagree. Most wars end with one side winning and one side losing. When the president says, "We've ended the war in Iraq and we are ending the war in Afghanistan," he never says our troops were victorious on the battlefield. And there is no sign our jihadist enemy has surrendered.

But if Obama believes the war is over, then why is his administration day-by-day increasing its surveillance of the American people? There is a disconnect here that makes no sense. Obama is telling us the war on terror is over, but he is demanding that we tolerate the massive collection of data.

Here's where I am today: I don't think I am going to like Mr. Snowden. I know I don't like Barack Obama. I am willing to tolerate government intrusiveness in a time of war with suitable safeguards. I do not trust this president to follow safeguards, and he is clearly not fighting this war with the objective of winning it.

I urge our friends on Capitol Hill, who favor a strong and free America, to take the lead in doing everything possible to prevent this administration from doing what it does most effectively: Using information at its disposal not to get traitors like Assange or the Tsarnaev brothers but to go after its domestic political enemies.

The New York Stock Exchange is the largest gambling casino in the world. It is a place little fish are constantly eaten up by bigger fish. The big players are willing participants in the growth and maintenance of Barack Obama's Potemkin Village. No one intelligent enough to have their hands on a large amount of money can possibly be ignorant of the chicanery that makes the Stock Market LOOK like an accurate reflection of the health of our economy. Indeed they take their seats in Obama's casino every day counting on the $80 Billion the Fed is creating out of thin air each month.
