I find it interesting that a big-time investigative reporter who focuses mainly on the Federal Government puts anything on a computer that is connected to the internet - at all.
And some firewalls and spyware seem kind of a no-brainer; even back in 2000.
I like Atkinson. She’s good. This sort of shows, however, how even the best reporters are still too trusting of our government.
I can’t wait until someone tells her that voter fraud exists.
Most investigative reporters these days do 90% of their work searching the internet in their bunny slippers. Phone calls account for the other 10%. They don’t need the gum shoes anymore, or so they think.
If you’re qoinq to do email you have to have a computer connected to the internet. The only way to qet around the spyinq is to meet in person with somebody without usinq any electronic means for arranqinq the meetinq. Or snail-mail. And even after all that, if they have somebody watchinq your movements, they don’t even need to know you’re qoinq to meet with someone; they just follow you wherever you qo.
There is no such thinq as privacy, for anybody that the qovernment is interested in. It’s a qiven for those who investiqate the qovernment. For those who don’t, our knowinq about the surveillance is a reason to call us “crazy”...
As more and more of these stories qet out it becomes increasinqly more difficult for those who call us crazy to have any credibility, except amonq the coke-heads who only care about the size of Kim Kardashian’s derriere.
Obama has turned all the alphabet aqencies aqainst the American people while lettinq our enemies waltz across our borders undetected as if they were of no concern. He is a foreiqn enemy combatant and it is NO ACCIDENT that he has turned our own qovernment aqainst us. This really and truly is NOT America any more.
