I want to alert people, that because of these disclosures the past 8 weeks and this NSA traitorous activity against American citizens, that we are entering into a new battle. A battle that will unite certain previous opposed forces of Left and Right, because there is nothing left, and there WILL BE NOTHING LEFT OF THIS COUNTRY... if we lose our freedom of privacy and expression!

curiouser and curiouser....

Gellman told the Washington Free Beacon that Poitras [long-time activist filmmaker] approached him in February to help her assess anonymous emails she was sent by the professed NSA leaker, Edward Snowden....

Gellman said he helped Poitras frame questions to help verify the information provided by Snowden, but that Snowden was primarily Poitras’s source, even after Gellman began to communicate with him directly. After they received the document from Snowden, “Laura and I evaluated it together and decided to partner on a story about it in the Washington Post,” said Gellman.

I don’t care if she is a blind, three eyed goose. This is about our freedom and our Constitution! Get on point or get out of the way.
