Critics may not have been impressed with the case against CIA whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling, but the jury convicted. As I said, innuendo and fearmongering is all it takes.
"Sterling denied leaking anything to Risen, and said it was more likely Risen learned about the mission from Senate staffers who had been briefed on it."The Senate staffers might have leaked it, but this was a political prosecution, so blaming politicians was doomed to fail.
Cops want to track us, but they don't want to be tracked.
""The Register reports on a request from the US National Sheriffs' Association, which "wants Google to block its crowd-sourced traffic app Waze from being able to report the position of police officers, saying the information is putting officer's lives at risk." From the article: "'The police community needs to coordinate an effort to have the owner, Google, act like the responsible corporate citizen they have always been and remove this feature from the application even before any litigation or statutory action,' AP reports Sheriff Mike Brown, the chairman of the NSA's technology committee, told the association's winter conference in Washington....Brown called the app a 'police stalker,' and said being able to identify where officers were located could put them at personal risk. Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, said his members had concerns as well. 'I can think of 100 ways that it could present an officer-safety issue,' Pasco said. 'There's no control over who uses it. So, if you're a criminal and you want to rob a bank, hypothetically, you use your Waze.'""If tracking cops endangers cops, then tracking serfs endangers serfs.
The US had a Cold War plan called Plan C to bring the entire US under martial law. I'm sure it has a similar plan now. This is what ubiquitous surveillance will end in.
