Surveillance: Can We Take a Step Back? |
Written by:Diana West 6/8/2013 7:56:00 AM |
I'm taking a short break today from promoting "American Betrayal" to write about the latest stages of tyrannical development in these United States for Dispatch International. The assignment is the burgeoning Obama scandals -- IRS, Prism, whatever breaks next.
This means two things:
One, this assignment is really no break at all from promotion of American Betrayal, because American Betrayal is a history of tyrannical development in these United States, and why we can't see it.
Two, partly because of the newspaper's mainly Euopean readership, I will be taking an explanatory step back from the tight-focus coverage and anaylsis of events to date.
Americans should, too.
Regarding the latest scandal to break -- the communications surveillance scandal -- I think something big is being overlooked in a near-sighted debate to determine whether security trumps privacy to prevent a terrorist attack. On the one hand, we have our 4th Amendment guarantees against no- probable-cause searches and seizures. On the other hand, we are told, the US government has that night-sweats-desperation, that countdown-clock-urgency to do whatever it takes to prevent a terrorist attack. That means, they say, scooping up our "meta-data" and treating them with 4th Amendment inspired kid gloves (right).
What is being overlooked? The US government is saying we need to fish from a pool of 300 million Americans to find and pre-empt the next "terrorist" -- or else. It is saying that we need to do this because there are no other predicters of "terrorism." It is saying that there are no doctrinal predicters of "terrorism." It is lying.
It is lying about "terrorism" itself.
Why -- to keep us safe? Or to keep Islam safe?
Ah, Islam. This, as usual, is what we are overlooking. The US government is lying to hide the threat to liberty, to peace, that Islam poses, just as I have discovered (and explained in American Betrayal) that the US government lied to hide the threat to liberty, to peace that Communism posed during World War II.
And why was/is that? The answer is a story of infiltration, penetration and subversion. It happened before. It is happening again.
The long-range impact of such an assault on truth and logic is shattering. But consider the more immediate impact on the American people. The US government has become a shill for Islam in alliance with such nations as Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan, just as it once served as a shill for Communism in alliance with Stalin. During World War 2, anti-Communists officials were even purged from Washington, anti-Communist materials, too. We the People were lied to then by Uncle Sam, thus ensuring the advance of Marx into society's deepest tissues.
It's happening again. The lies Uncle Sam is telling us today guarantee the advance of sharia into our deepest tissues, too -- cultural, legal, political, the works.
Meanwhile, woe to anyone who brings facts to the national security table: facts about jihad, facts about sharia, facts about Mohammed, facts about dhimmitude. As up-ending contradictions to the government's Big Lies, such people, too, become enemies of the state.
What do you wanna bet that their "meta-data," too, haven't been targeted by the behemoth?
But they aren’t looking for terrorists when they profile the wrong people.
When I say profiling, I’m talking about Israel and how they are able to successfully profile terrorists who are bent on destroying them
Now THAT’S profiling!
And it’s that crying need that this administration and its lackey apologists are covering up by attacking the rights of all Americans.
In the meantime, that also serves their dual purpose of turning America inside out and upside down from its original meaning.
In the name of the people, the state assumes almighty power over us.
And without a real opposition party to stand up to the dictators, our options are getting pretty slim.
Army Maj. Nidal Hasan of the Fort Hood terrorist act. The warning signs were everywhere, no action taken. It wouldn’t be prudent to profile a Muslim.
This is a fascinating parallel. We have to wonder when the Saudis began developing agents to infiltrate the US gov and when they began prepping Obama. So it’s basically “eliminate those against jihadis and Islam or we will turn off way our oil and collapse your reserve currency.”
Well, f em.

Thanks for the link to the warrant. (And thanks to The Guardian for performing actual journalism.)
