Gubemnts of 21 Nations Announce Opposition to NSA Spying

Some of these are governments that must have already been aware of, or working with, the NSA, but others are not. Good to see this...

Snowden Reveals No Phone Call Made Without NSA Knowing

Note Feinstein's deflection. First of all, the meta-data is not all that is collected. The Prism program goes further than that, and so do the secret warrants issued by the so-called "FiISA Court". Second, the Supreme Court decision to which she refers is a mighty stretch from the concept of privacy that is supposed to be protected by the 4th Amendment.

 

If police were to enter any random house, not knowing who lived there, to search for contraband, it would be an infringement of the 4th Amendment. That analogy is akin to the NSA collecting so-called "anonymous" meta-data...

 

Check out the piece. Ed Snowden continues to do good work.

TSA Now Invading Personal Information PRIOR TO YOU ENTERING AIRPORT

So, the race is on for the invasion of privacy. Which anti-constitutional agency will win, the TSA, or the NSA?

 

Lest we forget the IRS, invading your neighbor's personal business information to pilfer his earnings and now going in to grab money from you if you don't buy health insurance.

Yay! Mark Cuban Beats the Feds and BLASTS THEM!

Great job, Mr. Cuban! A libertarian strikes back!

 

Please lisen to our pod about this story, and about how so-called "insider trading" bans are anti-freedom and bad economics!

If You Had Hired a Private Fire Dept., Would You Accept This Behavior?

Amazing. And the lame excuse the Chief offers is inconsitent with what actually appeared on their "Emergency Tweet".

A Smart Idea from Utah Folk Who Protest NSA: Adopt-a-Highway

A very good move from folks who are near the nexus for the NSA: its new Data Collection Center.

 

By paying ransom to the state in an "Adopt-A-Highway" system, they're making room to walk by the side of the road and show signs opposing the NSA. Interesting. What do you think about the idea?

US Gubment Funding Study to Use Twitter to Measure Population 'Depression'

Whether you like the idea of this study or not, is it appropriate to tell other citizens they MUST pay for it?

New Revelations by Snowden, Greenwald: NSA Collects Personal Contact Info of Millions

But don't forget, the "FISA" court that issues secret "warrants" (otherwise known as NOT warrants) says collection of data is fine. Sure, they didn't mean personal contact data, they meant so-called meta-data. Funny that meta-data is ALSO private. Sooooo, both kinds of collection are... um...

...UNCONSTITUTIONAL. And beyond that, even if they were, where, exactly, did you or any of us sign the so-called "social contract"?

 

Wait. You mean it's just a fictitious veneer painted on coercion via gubment? It doesn't exist?

 

You must be one of those anarchists Harry Reid warned us about.

 

Consider Market-Based Parks v Gubment Parks, Shutdowns, Exclusion of Visitors

Here's a piece to start the thought-investigation: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/9/rangers-arrest-21-venturi...

You'll see that the Grand Canyon federal Park Rangers have arrested 21 people for venturing onto lands that their own taxes have paid to supposedly keep the place going.

US Medical Fascism Law To Share Civilian Data w Law Enforcement, FOIA FIlers

We have tried to tell people that since the bogusly titled Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the federal gubment has claimed the statutory power to collect your private data. It began doing so last year. Now, it claims the statutory power to share that with police agencies as part of the also bogusly named "Affordable Care Act".

 

Nothing like that 4th Amendment, and those warrants to collect personal information, huh?

The NSA: A Spy Agency That Spies On You, Breaks the 4th Amendment, and now, the First

This guard is wrong on every count.

The Infowars team is much more into conspiracy theories than we are, but their news team often gets stories first, and follows-up very well.

An Example of the Classic Media Biases - Matthews Spits Them

Take a look at this video, and soak in the lovely lack fo substantive analysis of the medical fascism law, the broad-brush ad-hominim attacks, the assuptions about what Ted Cruz is trying to do, rather than the points Crus mentioned in his filibuster. It's a circle jerk of collectivism, hidden behind a curtain of so-called "analysis". Sad and sick.

One wonders why Chris Matthews was calling a Texas Rep a "hero" for filibustering an abortion bill in the "republic" of TX, while he says Cruz is "a problem for the republic".

FISA Judge Rules It's Okay for NSA to Get Phone Meta-Data

When you read this piece, recall that the feds were pushing CISPA, which would give the telecom corporations immunity from civil suits for handing over this data.

Jaden Smith: "School Is There to Brainwash Kids"

Yep. Well said.

Amazing how the pop media jesters don't seem to understand his drift, and would rather stand on the image of being 'concerned' for the education of "our" young people.

Idaho Threatens 12 yr Old Kid for Not Collecting Sales Tax on Raspberries

Classy move, tax-collectors.

We hope more and more people will begin to realize that the state, in its generic form (ie any polis) is nothing more than a mafia working under the guise of statute.
