Another poll shows a majority of Americas, 53 percent, disagree with NSA spying.

"With President Obama in the White House, Democrats stand in support of the NSA’s methods, 49% to 40% in the Gallup survey. Republicans were opposed 63% to 32%. When President George W. Bush was in office, Republicans were supportive of government surveillance efforts and Democrats opposed."

Figures. Politics isn't about left and right. It's about authoritarians and worse authoritarians.
"Indeed, the left has gone on the offensive, crowing that what Edward Snowden calls the “architecture of oppression” is all perfectly legal, pointing out that the NSA went through the FISA court – a secret “court” whose orders are classified top, and that, out of thousands of such requests, has only denied the government a grand total of 11 times. This left-right dynamic dramatizes the symbiotic relationship between authoritarians on both sides of the political spectrum – and, perhaps, explains how the Panopticon unveiled by Snowden came to be built and legitimized."

Even the Onion is making fun of NSA for claiming it thwarted dozens of terrorist acts.

The heroic motives of whistleblower Snowden. The heroism of whistle-blowers.

Defending Snowden from smears. More defense of the smears.

A US senator, privy to classified info, tells us

"What we learned in there is significantly more than what is out in the media today. . . . I can't speak to what we learned in there, and I don't know if there are other leaks, if there's more information somewhere, if somebody else is going to step up, but I will tell you that I believe it's the tip of the iceberg . . . . I think it's just broader than most people even realize, and I think that's, in one way, what astounded most of us, too"

Just what any rational person would expect.

On the floor of the House in 1984, congressman Ron Paul warned of the burgeoning surveillance state.

House votes to keep indefinite detention of Americans legal.

In addition to kinect, NSA wants to monitor you through TV set top boxes.

Cato loses credibility by supporting NSA spying.

If you see something, say something, unless what you see is government agents preying on the American people. Then you'll be hunted down and killed.

Facebook and Microsoft apologize for obeying their government masters.

The NSA, known best for lying to the American people, says it broke up dozens of terrorist attacks.  I"m not going to fall for the lies. Btw, if they discovered those plots in other countries, then stay out of the US.

The unspoken philosophy behind the NSA's capture of every communication in the world, including the US, is the US intends to become the one world government.

On the heals if the resignation of the head FBI agent in Boston, DHS admits it had planned and carried out a drill involving backpack explosives at the Boston Marathon. What a coincidence. Nothing to see here. Move along.

"The exercise, labeled as “Operation Urban Shield,” was funded by a $200,000 Homeland Security grant. It was planned months before the Boston Marathon, and it was scheduled to ‘take place’ in official capacity this weekend, according to the sources."

Naturally it was paid for with money stolen from taxpayers. Funny how that always ends in death and destruction.
