Uncle Sam's Leviathan

What does Rep. Adam Smith (WA - 9th District) know about this spying-on-America Leviathan run by our own government?  It has been reported that the leaders of major committees in Congress have special access to the anti-4th Amendment intelligence dragnet that has been long suspected by some observers of the government, including this blog, but now is out in the open thanks to whistleblower, Ed Snowden.  Smith is the ranking Democratic Party member on the Armed Services Committee, so he likely had/has better than average access to these government secrets that alledgedly are only for security purposes, but any perceptive person knows is also used to keep track of, among others, law-abiding political outliers or dissidents, e.g., "Occupy Wall Street" or the peaceniks in Minneapolis that the F.B.I. raided a couple of years ago. 

Since "Prism" is so electronically sophisticated, it would be interesting to know if this system also monitors the virtually 100% electronic elections in the United States.  Perhaps, "Prism" managed to monitor the 2004 Primary elections in Washington state, and if specific records were examined, could thus solve the mystery of the 9th Congressional District (Republican) Primary, the official results of which were sketchy at best and outright criminal fraud at worst.  The Leviathan keeps track of these type of things, after all ... Google ... Microsoft ... Facebook ...  Phone records ... Elections? ... God only knows what else.

It seems, if recent polls can be believed, most Americans don't seem to be too perturbed about this brave new world where "Big Brother" is all-knowing and acting solely in our best interests, of course, as our firmly entrenched elected politicos in Congress ensure us that everything is OK ... and about those elections ... surely they won't let the Leviathan be too intrusive as long as all the candidates are "stamped and approved."

Caucus of Shills

The so-called Congressional black caucus is one of the biggest frauds in America, as practically all of its members, with maybe a handful of exceptions, are corporate shills that do the bidding of corporations, interventionists and internationalists.  These are the same congresspersons that are some of the biggest promoters of globalism that takes away jobs and opportunities from citizens, and dramatically drives up housing costs for ordinary citizens.  But they're not worried, because their extravagant congressional salaries and perks, along with the incumbency election racket, protects them from such economic jolts as fierce competition for jobs from non-citizens and thousand dollar-a-month rents.  If every last one of them were defeated in the November election, the Americans that this caucus identifies with would be hard put to notice the difference.

Uncle Sam Should Stay Clear of International Mess

For a president who once said the U.S. shouldn't get in dumb wars, it's insane for Obama to engage in saber rattling over the international controversy involving a motion picture company, although he does seem to have walked it back some according to recent news reports.  Why did the motion picture company make the particular stupid movie that started the controversy in the first place, thereby provoking a nation with nuclear weapons?  Why is Obama defending a company whose executives insulted him because of his race behind closed doors, and probably insults a host of other people of African descent?   It's not even clear who started the cyber attacks on this company, and besides, this motion picture company, that's not even an American company, should  have to stew in their own problems and messes, which appear to have been created by their own arrogance.  The government shouldn't get involved in this matter at all o...
