Tech Dirt – by Mike Masnick

The joke around the NSA used to be that the acronym stood for “No Such Agency” as its very existence was denied for years. While the NSA is now very official, it’s still probably the most secretive agency out there. That’s to be somewhat expected, given its mission, but it appears that when it needs to be transparent, it doesn’t do very well at all.

We noted yesterday that Senators Ron Wyden and Mark Udall had called the NSA out for flat out lying on a “fact sheet” the agency had posted about its section 702 surveillance efforts.   Continue reading “NSA Deletes Fact Sheet On NSA Spying After Senate Points Out It’s Actually NSA Lying”

If there is any remaining doubt in your mind about the fact that the federal government today has been completely overrun by sociopathic, freedom-hating enemies of the U.S. Constitution, some recent absurd statements made by South Carolina Senator (and full-fledged American traitor) Lindsey Graham, a Republican, should put all such doubt to rest.   Continue reading “Enemy of freedom Lindsey Graham says he would support censoring mail for ‘national security’ purposes”

The wife of Rolling Stone journalist Michael Hastings, who was killed in what many people believe was a suspicious car crash last week, has vowed to “take down whoever did this,” according to the man who released an email in which Hastings told friends he was being harassed by the government.

Staff Sergeant Joseph Biggs, who yesterday told Fox News that Hastings was working on “the biggest story yet” about the CIA before his untimely death, was responsible for releasing an email Hastings wrote 15 hours before his car crash in which the journalist stated he was “onto a big story” and needed “to go off the rada[r] for a bit.”   Continue reading “Michael Hastings’ Wife Vows to “Take Down Whoever Did This””

Jeff Olson, the 40-year-old man who is being prosecuted for scrawling anti-megabank messages on sidewalks in water-soluble chalk last year now faces a 13-year jail sentence. A judge has barred his attorney from mentioning freedom of speech during trial.

According to the San Diego Reader, which reported on Tuesday that a judge had opted to prevent Olson’s attorney from “mentioning the First Amendment, free speech, free expression, public forum, expressive conduct, or political speech during the trial,” Olson must now stand trial for on 13 counts of vandalism.    Continue reading “California man faces 13 years in jail for scribbling anti-bank messages in chalk”

ST. LOUIS • In Chief Sam Dotson’s vision of modern policing, a drone would circle Busch Stadium to watch for terrorists, or silently pursue a criminal who thought the chase was over when the officer in the car behind him turned off its red lights and siren.

And Dotson is working to make it happen.   Continue reading “St. Louis police chief wants drones to monitor city from the sky”

The USDA “census of agriculture” is a government-run farm surveillance program designed to register and inventory detailed private data on farm assets, operations and personnel.

ISTANBUL — Turkish police used water cannon to disperse thousands gathered in Istanbul’s Taksim Square on Saturday to observe a memorial for four people killed during recent anti-government protests. The officers later fired tear gas and rubber bullets, and in some cases beat people with batons, to scatter demonstrators who regrouped in side streets.   Continue reading “Erdogan: Turkey, Brazil Protests Part Of Same, Foreign-Led Conspiracy To Destabilize Governments”

This Rather Strange Alliance

When a draft-dodging con man such as Bill Clinton begins to sound like General George Patton, most intelligent people realize that the fix is in.

Clinton recently remonstrated with Obama over the latter’s inaction in Syria. Like a true politician, Barack obliged and ordered small arms to be delivered to the rebels three days after the draft dodger had read him the riot act. Clinton is a sleazeball who has never done a thing except beat his own drum. His close friends are sleazy, his Hollywood buddies are shabby, and even his daughter’s father-in-law has done hard time for big-time fraud.   Continue reading “Want to Know What Is Going On In Syria, Follow the Money?”

The article below is very interesting and informative.  It undermines Common Core even more.  Everyone, in every state should be aware of what this merchandising stimulated program is doing to the education of our students today and tomorrow. Anyone connected with the approval of this program being used before it was ever vetted should be recalled, where this is legal to do; those who approved it should be brought out into the public eye, and made to justify their actions of implementing this program which is all about the merchandising of the program and removed from office or board by being forced to resign.    Continue reading “Don’t Take Your Child’s Education for Granted, What You Need to Know About Common Core”

An “insider threat” program launched by President Barack Obama encourages a culture of snitching among federal government employees and establishes a work environment where managers can be punished for failing to report suspicious activity, according to a feature story by McClatchy Newspapers. 

Marisa Taylor and Jonathan Landay detail the “unprecedented initiative” is “sweeping in its reach.” It “extends beyond the US national security bureaucracies to most federal departments and agencies nationwide, including the Peace Corps, the Social Security Administration and the Education and Agriculture departments. It emphasizes leaks of classified material, but catchall definitions of ‘insider threat’ give agencies latitude to pursue and penalize a range of other conduct.”   Continue reading “Obama’s ‘Insider Threat’ Program: Discourages Whistleblowing, Treats Leaking as Aiding the Enemy”

A border agent every 1,000 feet, every hour of every day, supported by 700 miles of fencing along the Mexican frontier.

No green cards for the 11 million immigrants living illegally in America until those steps and others to enhance border controls are taken. And none of it increases the federal deficit or debt.   Continue reading “Senate immigration deal includes tougher border security”

Congress may let student loan interest rates double July 1, but some federal workers and congressional staff likely are protected from the impact by a taxpayer-funded benefit that provided more than $20 million last year for them to pay down their college debts.

Congress created the benefit more than 10 years ago to make government jobs more appealing to job candidates who could get higher-paying jobs in the private sector. Meanwhile, a 2007 law that cut student loan interest rates in half will expire July 1, and Congress has been unable to reach a deal to extend it.   Continue reading “Federal Workers Get Millions In Student Loan Relief”
