Today's Attack Propaganda Against Trump Only Works On People With Amnesia

And those who are ignorant of basic legal concepts.

Today's attack mode: Donald Trump Jr,. an obnoxious character, son of the U.S. president, who is a chip off the old block, has been exposed by the U.S. secret police, using the New York Times as their megaphone, as having met with a Russian lawyer. The lawyer claimed to have dirt on Hillary Clinton- turned out she didn't.

Initially, moron Donald Jr. said the meeting was about adopting Russian children- an obvious, ludicrous lie. The Trumps seem adept at digging themselves in deeper and deeper in the political hole they're in.

So today we're being treated to the word "treason." Treason? The U.S. isn't at war with Russia. So there is no treason in an actual criminal law sense. The idea of "treason" is straight out of the McCarthy-Nixon-GOP playbook of 1947-1960, which the Democrats have latched onto as their strategy to try and topple Trump.

"Treason" having been so very loosely defined as being in cahoots with an enemy (Russia), what about the multimillion dollar donation to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for allowing Russian interests to buy uranium mines, approved by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? [1]

We're also getting "experts," from the secret police fraternity, no less, (like on NPR), saying this is a violation of campaign finance law, because information has value, and receiving such a "contribution" from a foreign source is illegal.

Well then, if "information" equals an illegal donation, what about that dodgy dossier compiled by BRITISH CITIZEN and former MI6 secret policeman Christopher Steele? He offered it to Trump's GOP rivals and to the Clinton campaign, and finally the U.S. secret police in the person of James "Mr. Upright" Comey, then-FBI Director, briefed Trump about it. Or for that matter, the numerous foreign contributions received by Bill Clinton back when, and the donors fled overseas to avoid investigators? No mention of THAT of course.

The hypocrisy and double-standards are breathtaking. As is the total obsession of U.S. media blatherers with every new arrow they can fire at Trump. (While barely covering the viciousness of his domestic policies. No surprise there. The entire power structure is fundamentally reactionary and thus objectively enemies of the overwhelming majority of the American population.) These propagandists and political hacks are apparently unaware that they are in a bubble, and that most people most probably could care less about all this nitpicking. Every day, a new molehill is blown up into a mountain by the propaganda system. Amazing.

I certainly agree that Trump is a rotten choice for president. But EVERY U.S. president has been rotten, only some more than others, because the U.S. has always been an evil empire. There are principled ways to oppose Trump. Unsurprisingly, the ruling elites and their minions have chosen an unprincipled way. True to their character.

One more point. One of the day's big propaganda talking points is that Donald Jr. should have immediately ran to the FBI and reported the approach to him! This is how far into a police state mentality the "liberals" of the media and Democratic Party are dragging us! It's thoroughly despicable. They are empowering the most evil part of the power structure more than ever, namely the secret police agencies, primarily the FBI, CIA, and NSA. They are treated as demigods now, and they are some of the most vile and malicious organs on the earth.

Remembering Manuel Noriega (And Forgetting the 4,000 Panamanians Murdered by the U.S. Military Invasion)

Manuel Noriega dies, U.S. media lies. (BBC and others too.)

Sickening "coverage" by U.S. and other media on the death of former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. The U.S. invaded Panama on the orders of then-president George H.W. Bush (Bush the Elder) on the pretext of executing an arrest warrant for a head of state, Noriega. 26,000 U.S. troops were used for this purpose. The U.S. devastated poor neighborhoods in Panama, and an estimated 4,000 Panamanians were murdered by the U.S. and their bodies dumped into mass graves. This crime has been totally effaced from history.

The British propaganda network the BBC did the same thing, lavishing much time on Noriega and his fate, with not a single word on the number of Panamanians who paid with their lives for this act of wanton U.S. aggression. Ditto in the U.S. broadcast media.
Pretty despicable when you think about it.

The reason the U.S. overthrew Noriega, and this too was totally ignored and indeed lied about, was that he had refused an order from Admiral John Poindexter to step up Panama's cooperation with the U.S. terrorist aggression against Nicaragua. He was duly threatened with consequences for his defiance, which then followed.

Also covered up was the assassination of Noriega's predecessor, Omar Torrijos, who had the interests of the Panamanian people at heart. The closest anyone came to even mentioning this was Christopher Dickey, a career journalist, who on BBC called Torrijos plane crash "slightly suspicious." No, it was a definite hit. This is confirmed by former NSA operative John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, who explained that those who refused to sell out to U.S. "interests," like Torrijos did, are inevitably removed from power, violently if necessary, and that that is what happened to Torrijos.

Once again Western media exposes itself as nothing but a system of mendacious propaganda. It is NOT legitimate journalism.

Trump Hits The Ground Running on Establishing Authoritarian Regime

On his very first day as president- and it was just a half day, as Trump was sworn in as president on noon, January 20- Trump already is quashing with an iron fist merely implied criticism of himself.

An employee of the Federal National Parks Service, which is part of the Department of the Interior, retweeted two tweets that failed to glorify the New Leader, the Magnificent Trump. One tweet claimed the crowd at Trump's inauguration was smaller than Obama's. The other noted, correctly, that upon taking the reins of power at noon on January 20th, the White House website, whitehouse.gov, was scrubbed of various policy areas, such as those dealing with disabled people (Trump infamously mocked in juvenile fashion a reporter with an affliction that causes spastic movements of the limbs) and women (Trump has bragged about how he grabs women "by the pussy" whenever he feels like it). References to climate change and other bĂȘte noires of the right also immediately disappeared, replaced by chest-thumbing bellows about "Standing Up For Our Law Enforcement Community" (meaning in practice supporting to the hilt police summary execution of African-Americans) and a "Making Our Military Strong Again" (who knew it was weak?).

A ukase immediately came down from on high to the Interior Department, ordering the immediate suspension of all the Departments twitter accounts:

"“All bureaus and the department have been directed by incoming administration to shut down Twitter platforms immediately until further notice,” Park Service employees were ordered on the very afternoon of the investiture of the Great Man. [1]

But lest you think that Obama represented light to Trump's dark, recall such things as Obama's government-wide diktat to all parts of the Federal government, that each employee should function as a spy and report on any "odd" behavior by fellow employees, apparently to put potential malcontents under scrutiny to prevent leaking. Furthermore, failure to report oddballs is itself an offense. Pretty nightmarish.

Obama perfected the perfect secret police state, in which the NSA secretly collects and stores everyone's phone calls, emails, text messages, tweets, Internet searches, and has advanced software to search this gigantic trove of data. They collect surveillance camera footage from thousands of cameras. Where license plate recorders are in use, they have records of where your car has been. Same with using EZ-Pass to pay tolls. Obama empowered all 17 U.S. Federal "intelligence community" agency members to freely access the NSA database. The FBI, DEA, and other police use it to cook up criminal cases against victims, hiding the warrantless search and Unconstitutionally obtained evidence from the courts and defense lawyers. The DEA has a formal unit dedicated to laundering the evidence through "parallel construction," inventing a legal explanation for how they acquired their evidence.

The FBI and the rest have free access to your financial records, your medical records, your credit card records, your airline ticket purchases, your everything.

Obama brought us "legal" indefinite imprisonment of Americans in military gulags without charges, as a matter of law- a law that currently is in force. And Obama has brought assassinations, including of American citizens, into wide acceptance.

Typical of Democrats, Obama is a slick operator who wears a velvet glove over the mailed fist, the better to delude and conceal, whereas the Republicans wear thin cotton gloves- or in Trump's case, no glove at all for disguise. Obama's many, systematic repressive acts has created the most thorough secret police surveillance state that has ever existed. This is his contribution to American history, and his bequeath to all his successors.

Meanwhile, in "violent" protests in Washington, D.C., (likely led by police agents provocateur posing as radicals, as per standard police practice) 90 people were arrested. No, 250. Wait,it was 90. Make that 100. On fifth thought, it was over 200. That, in sequential order, are the numbers reported on air by U.S. government radio propaganda network NPR yesterday and this morning.

As the French saying goes, The more things change, the more they stay the same.

No Honeymoon For President Trump

The current change in U.S. regime has certainly been different from the pattern of most of the last century or so. The usual practice is for the power structure to be at least outwardly respectful to the new Leader, and formally deferential. Media fawn over the new chief executive of the U.S. Government. The honeymoon can last for years in the case of an arch-reactionary like Reagan. Nixon had a second honeymoon in 1972 when he ran for reelection, when except for the Washington Post, the Watergate burglary was virtually ignored by the media- to the disgruntlement of Senator George McGovern, the Democratic candidate for president that election year.

The New York Times spent the first year of Jimmy Carter's presidency putting his smiling visage on their front pages almost daily, in a strenuous effort to repair the damage to the public esteem for the presidency in the wake of Nixon's forced resignation and his hand-picked successor Gerald Ford's pardoning of Nixon to protect him from criminal charges. But by the last year of Carter's rule, the Times was smitten by Reagan, and did its best to sabotage Carter's reelection, such as by putting a photo of him on the front page running a marathon and looking exhausted, and describing him as panting and weak. The media also ginned up a fake "rabbit attack" on Carter to make him look ridiculous.

With Trump, the media assault has been unrelenting. It began after he won the Republican nomination, when it apparently dawned on the media czars and their minions that Trump would be dangerously destabilizing an unpredictable with presidential power. (Until then they had made him the center of mostly benign media attention for months.) The assault increased in intensity and virulence after he "won" the presdiential election November 8, with fewer votes than Hillary Clinton, by winning in the Electoral College, that extremely peculiar U.S. version of electoral  "democracy." A shabby piece of libel, an alleged "dossier" or "report," cooked-up by a former British secret policeman from MI6 (Christopher Steele, currently in hiding) who was hired by Republican primary opponents of Trump to come up with derogatory information about Trump, and then peddled by the Brit to the Democratic camp, was used by the so-called "intelligence community" and U.S. media to smear Trump as a pervert who had hired Russian prostitutes to piss on a hotel bed in Moscow in which one of the Clintons had slept, and the Russian secret police covertly videoed the whole thing and are now using it or are going to use it to blackmail or control Trump. That such a cheap spy-novel fantasy is taken seriously shows the desperation of part of the U.S. power elite, including the main secret police agencies, to hobble Trump.

And when Trump refuses to buckle, and instead denounces the "intelligence" agencies for this tawdry behavior, he is attacked by the commentariat for "attacking" "his own" intelligence agencies and "siding with Putin," and admonished by "experts" (various secret policemen, secret police veterans, and members of the established nomenklatura) that he'll have to learn to "work with" the CIA, FBI, et al, and sit at their knees to learn from them.

Now, Trump is awful, for sure, and his cabinet appointments are the worst in modern history, worse even than the egregious ones of Reagan. But this tawdry propaganda campaign throws into stark relief the unethical nature of the power establishment. It also proves once again that the Deep State agencies, in particular the CIA, FBI, and NSA, truly are states within a state that care first and foremost about their own power and prerogatives. Their loyalty to the state as a whole, to the U.S. government, and certainly to the president, to whom they are nominally pledged to serve, is far less important to them than their own self-aggrandizing schemes. After all, the CIA arranged the assassination of the president in 1963, with the FBI as a full participant in aiding and abetting the crime by helping cover it up. And the entire U.S. media played along, and still do to this day by maintaining the absurd fictional account of the assassination by the Warren Commission. (By the way, Gerald Ford, the guy who pardoned Nixon, was one of the Commissioners and functioned as FBI spy on the Commission.)

It's unfortunate that "alternative" media and public figures have so lost perspective and are so incapable of objectivity that they are playing right along with every propaganda assault on Trump. Between Trump's distortions of reality, and the distortions of reality being fostered by the elements of the power establishment desperate to undercut Trump on foreign policy mainly, (they seem not too troubled by what he threatens to do domestically), people will be disoriented without a lodestar of objective truth to turn to.

Instead of becoming foot soldiers in one side of an intra-ruling class power struggle, progressives should chart an independent course, a principled course, and ultimately the actually pragmatic course of declaring a pox on both houses of the power elite and devise ways to take advantage of their conflict. Playing them off against each other, for example, not legitimizing the slanders of the anti-Trump faction. Heaven knows, there is plenty of legitimate information about Trump to use against him, without trying to paint him as a Putin puppet who engaged in a lurid defilement ritual involving urination.

EU Masters Won't Be Able To Rid Themselves of Britain As Fast As They Want To

Looks like Britain may have the European Union bosses over bit of a barrel. They can't actually eject Britain from membership in their dysfunctional club. Britain has to invoke Article 50 of one of the EU treaties to begin the process of withdrawal. British Prime Minister David Cameron announced in the British Parliament that he would leave it to his successor to initiate that process. (Assuming his successor chooses to do so, which he is under no obligation to do. The just-completed referendum does not legally compel the British government to actually withdraw from the EU.)

Cameron announced he is stepping down in October. So that's already 3 months before anything can happen. He also referred to negotiating before Britain invoked Article 50. That gives Britain a good deal of leverage in extracting relatively favorable terms from the EU regarding trade, immigration, and social benefits for immigrants.

Meanwhile, there's been an odd disconnect between the political events and the behavior of stock markets. Every day, the political chatter from and about Britain is that it is "leaderless," since a clear successor of the Tories to replace Cameron hasn't been selected, and the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has a rebellion on his hands in his own party. Labor MPs are overwhelmingly calling for his resignation, and his shadow cabinet has resigned. We're being told that months, or even years, of uncertainty lies ahead.

Stock markets are supposed to hate uncertainty. And yet, after declining for the first two trading days after the Brexit referendum on Thursday June 23, stocks fell on Friday and Monday, in the U.S. about a total of 6% in the broad averages. Then they went up strongly the next 3 days in a row, recouping all the losses. This morning U.S. stocks are up again, for the fourth day in a row, although anything could happen by closing. As so often, the stock market confounds by defying its own putative "logic."

One excuse (aka "reason" or pseudo-explanation) for the rally is that traders expect central bank easing as a result of the Brexit vote. In other words, they assume that central banks (the Fed in the U.S.) exist to facilitate ever-rising stock markets by providing financial sugar for the professional speculator class. Perhaps some thought a measly 6% decline created a "bargain" situation. Given the extremely short-term perspective of "the market" in recent years, that probably is at least part of it.

How to square the continuing hand-wringing and bitter condemnations by financial and political commentators over the Brexit referendum outcome, along with their doom-and-gloom predictions for the economic future of not just Britain but even the entire world, with the giddy reversal of direction by stocks globally? Could it be that the elite chatterers and "economic experts" are dead wrong? Since they fetishize markets, surely they must defer to the "judgment" of those markets.

Following Moody's another "rating" agency, S & P, has downgraded the credit rating of the British government. As I stated in my previous essay, these credit "rating"agencies have shown themselves to be criminal enterprises by their complicity in the packaged mortgage securities fraud, rating junk mortgaged Triple-A. They deserve no credibility whatsoever.

Even the British pound rallied back to $1.35, from $1.32, although right now it's back to just under $1.33. But the gloomsters ignore the positive of that. It means British exports are cheaper, just boosting British exports. That in turn benefits at least some British workers, and certainly the export businesses. It also will boost tourism to Britain, since it means vacationing in Britain becomes cheaper for Americans and Europeans using the Euro. The downside is more expensive imports, and it makes foreign travel more expensive for Britons, who will get less foreign currency in exchange for their pounds when abroad. Net, Britain gains economically from a cheaper currency. And I doubt it will fall anywhere near the low of 1987, when it dropped to $1.04 U.S.

A looming political question is what Scotland will do. Scotland voted strongly for Brexit, and doesn't want to lose the alleged advantages of EU membership. There has been talk of another vote on Scotland independence, (Which requires the permission of the British Parliament, unless Scotland wants to fight a war of succession.) Well, the British empire has been shedding pieces of itself for a century, perhaps it's high time for another piece to molt off.

One worry going forward: now that the Tory former London Mayor Boris Johnson has dropped out of competition to succeed Cameron, the egregious Home Secretary Theresa May very much wants the PM job. She's a repressive authoritarian who has consistently pushed for more powers for the British secret police agencies, including the NSA's little brother, GCHQ (General Communications Headquarters, an electronic spy agency that works hand in glove with the NSA as one of the "Five Eyes," the electronic secret police organizations of the U.S., UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand). She also lobbies hard for more repressive laws. And if Britain leaves the EU, the privacy laws of the EU and the European Court of Justice will no longer exert a restraining influence on the British ruling class' thirst for more repression. At this time she has but a single rival to take Cameron's place, and that is Justice Secretary Michael Gove, an erstwhile ally of Boris Johnson in the pro-Brexit camp.



The Nightmare Scenario: The Remorseless Theresa May as Prime Minister of Britain.

FBI Used Facial Recognition Software To Identify Boston Bombers (SHH! Don't Tell Anyone!)

The lies and coverups started immediately after the Boston Marathon bombing of April 15th, it seems. I have been keeping notes, but the deceptions, contradictions, and falsehoods come so fast and furious, and on a daily basis, that I haven't been able to summarize effectively with sufficient detail to prove the points. So I will put aside most of the misinformation, disinformation, and omissions for now and just focus on one glaring deception- the fact that the FBI used facial recognition software to match the photos from the bombing to databases of drivers' licenses, visa and passport and other photo banks to ID the suspects has been covered up, and the corporate propaganda system (aka “the media) has instead sought to mislead the public.

I assumed from the start, since there was immediate media chatter about how “the authorities” would be collecting surveillance video from cameras installed in the area as well as cellphone and camera pictures and videos taken by bystanders, that the FBI would seek to identify who placed the bombs by picking suspects and using facial recognition software run against photo databases to identify the culprits.

For me confirmation came from the sole media admission I'm aware of that facial recognition technology identified the bombers. On NPR, four days after the bombing on Friday, 4/19/12, 9 am EST, Tom Gjelten mentioned in passing that a picture from the marathon was matched with a driver's license photo of one of the bombers. He doesn't even say which bomber, or how it was “matched.” But there would only be one way to do it so quickly- facial recognition software.

Yet except for that, “the” media has not only kept this fact a secret, it has deliberately sought to mislead. It keeps throwing out red herrings, for example saying that surveillance footage in a store led to an ID. When you check out the details, there is nothing there; no assertion that someone recognized the bombers and came forward. We are also misled to believe that the FBI released photos of the suspects in order to ID them, when it fact this was done to aid their capture and to shake up the bombers. (Which succeeded, since they evidently panicked.)

I don't know what the Big Secret is. The FBI itself has publicly revealed its plans to expand its use of this technology. In fact, as long ago as October 2009 the AP put out a story about its use by the FBI in cahoots with the North Carolina State drivers' license photo bank. [1]

Another hidden fact: the New York City Police (NYPD) is using facial recognition technology with its system of thousands of surveillance cameras (mostly installed by businesses and corporations) that feed live time video to a CIA-veteran-run spy center at NYPD headquarters in lower Manhattan. Officially the NYPD denies using this software- it only admits to license plate reading technology. It also claims it only saves the video for 30 days- unless it's needed for an investigation.
Yet soon after the killing and capture of the Tsarnaev brothers, the NYPD announced that the brothers had visited Times Square last year- it identified them from cameras. Well, that's more than 30 days. Furthermore, millions of people pass through Times Square every year, including large numbers of tourists and commuters coming and going to work. So facial recognition software had to be used.

“The” media helpfully didn't point any of this out.


All this has relevance for political dissidents, who are the main target for this surveillance state (there are very few actual terrorists, or “terrorists,” unless you include all us dissidents, whom the FBI- and CIA and all the rest of the massive secret police state- consider to be terrorists). We are subjected to ever-increasing levels of repression. After the fall of Nixon, the level of repression waned a bit, only to resurge with a vengeance under Reagan, with significant further increases under Clinton, Bush II, and now Obama. Now, not only can they track your movements through your cellphone, which constantly broadcasts its (and your) location, or through tracking devices surreptitiously planted on your mode of transportation or even on your clothes [2], they can follow your movements via the thousands of surveillance cameras that feed into police spy centers in cities like New York, and with facial recognition software they can track your movements. (They already have your face from that mugshot they took when they arrested you, or from a surveillance shot they took when they were staking you out, or when a “tourist” on the street snapped your pic.) From this, they can learn your habits, places you habitually go, make a social network map of people you know, and know when it's safe to do a black bag job on your home to search, plant and service bugs and hidden cameras, plant drugs or explosives, etc. Currently, the publicly available information indicates that wearing sunglasses foils the face recognition technology. (Make them big and dark, or wraparound and dark.) The technology works by measuring the distance between certain points on the face. Supposedly a front shot is needed, but some companies claim to have software that works on angle shots or even profiles. But software pushers often exaggerate their products' capabilities. (Vendors to the secret police and military exaggerate a lot at times.) Also, showing teeth confounds the software. This is why when you get your photo taken for a driver's license now, if your mouth is open they tell you to close it. The Motor Vehicle Departments are adjuncts of the secret police. (Just like in any totalitarian state.)


1) Here are excerpts from that 2009 AP report, with my comments in brackets:

In its search for fugitives, the FBI has begun using facial-recognition technology on millions of motorists, comparing driver's license photos with pictures of convicts in a high-tech analysis of chin widths and nose sizes .
The project in North Carolina has already helped nab at least one suspect. Agents are eager to look for more criminals and possibly to expand the effort nationwide. But privacy advocates worry that the method allows authorities to track people who have done nothing wrong. [Like political dissidents.]
"'Everybody's participating, essentially, in a virtual lineup by getting a driver's license,' said Christopher Calabrese, an attorney who focuses on privacy issues at the American Civil Liberties Union.
Earlier this year, investigators learned that a double-homicide suspect named Rodolfo Corrales had moved to North Carolina. The FBI took a 1991 booking photo from California and compared it with 30 million photos stored by the motor vehicle agency in Raleigh.
In seconds, the search returned dozens of drivers who resembled Corrales, and an FBI analyst reviewed a gallery of images before zeroing in on a man who called himself Jose Solis.

Now states have quality photo machines and rules that prohibit drivers from smiling during the snapshot to improve the accuracy of computer comparisons. [Emphasis added.]

North Carolina's lab scans an image and, within 10 seconds, compares the likeness with other photos based on an algorithm of factors such as the width of a chin or the structure of cheekbones. The search returns several hundred photos ranked by the similarities.”

But ah, someday, someone's going to be falsely convicted of being a “terrorist.” Check out this part of the article:

The system is not always right. Investigators used one DMV photo of an Associated Press reporter to search for a second DMV photo, but the system first returned dozens of other people, including a North Carolina terrorism suspect who had some similar facial features.

The images from the reporter and terror suspect scored a likeness of 72 percent, below the mid-80s that officials consider a solid hit.” 
 
You might not be so lucky! And we know how credulous jurors are when it comes to swallowing “forensic science” and “expert testimony.” For example, bite marks have been used to fraudulenly convict people of murder, based on “expert testimony” claiming “matches” between bite marks in human flesh and someone's teeth. A preposterous assertion just based on common sense, you'd think. But not to ignorant jurors. So what if they say your face “matches” a picture of a “terrorist”? They already use falsified fingerprint evidence to frame up innocent people. (Cases where the state itself admitted this has happened have occurred in at least California and New York.)


2) Not at all farfetched. Planting tracking devices inside the heel of your shoe, for example, during a black bag job on your home, is easy for them. In fact, some reactionary wrote a book years ago (I forget the names of the hack and the title) giddily sharing the story of how during the Vietnam war a transmitter was hidden in a button of a shirt of a Vietcong “suspect,” with thread that doubles as antenna wire, which was used to track and kill him. Neat! was the attitude of this loathsome propagandist. Anyway, imagine how far technology has progressed since then.Hitachi announced in February 2007 the development of an RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) chip that is so tiny it can fit between the ridges of your fingerprint. RFID chips emit a unique numerical code. So embedding it to any object, a piece of paper, whatever, can be used to trace the source of an object. (RFID transmitters are currently attached to products for inventory control and tracking.)

The tiny Hitachi chips are narrower than a human hair- so tiny that Hitachi calls them “dust.” [See “Hitachi develops RFID powder” at pinktentacle.com]

                               

                                                               Left photo shows a hair and the new police state “dust.”

In the words of Defense Review: “NSA, CIA and FBI personnel must all be licking their chops over the intelligence and surveillance applications that such a small micro RFID chip makes possible. Got someone or something you want to track? Just toss some 'Powder'/'Dust' chips onto them/it and track them/it at your leisure. How would they know?” [“Hitachi'Powder'/'Dust' ”-Chip Ultra-Small Micro RFID Chip with EmbeddedAntenna for Military and (Clandestine) Intelligence/SurveillanceApplications: U.S. Military, Law Enforcement and IntelligenceAgencies Licking their Chops?”]

And no doubt you've heard the news, on Wired magazine's website, about the giant new NSA spy center in Utah to collect and store every phone call, text message, email, fax, and whatever else they can grab, in the world, including in the U.S. Don't worry, they have supercomputers that can search it all for keywords, for people, names, places, even voices using voice print recognition technology. (This isn't even new. Ford Rowan wrote a book way back in the 1970s, Technospies, describing how the NSA back then used voice prints to hunt for people making phone calls. So using a payphone will enable them to locate you. You have to alter your voice print, with a dental retainer, or stuff some tissue or something in the roof of your mouth. Merely disguising your voice by imitating Bugs Bunny or Donald Duck or an Englishman does not do the trick.) And contrary to their lies, they are sweeping up ALL domestic communications, as they started doing right after 9/11/01, as we know from NSA whistleblowers, who were then targeted for persecution by the Obama regime, including FBI terror raids on their homes and indictments under the “Espionage” Act, the World War I repressive legislation Woodrow Wilson got Congress to pass to repress opposition to U.S. involvement in that war. (Funny how they never repeal any of their repressive legislation. Guess they figure it might come in handy someday. As indeed it does! Oh, and that “temporary” Patriot Act? They just keep renewing it.)
