Snowden let us know that our government is not much different from the KGB run soviet government, at least that is where they(our government) want to take us. They’ve told us in 100 subtle ways over the last 10 years, and boldly/blatantly to our faces since Obama came into office, that being a tyrannical oppressive communist power is their goal. Having a strong KGB/Stasi type national security agency spying on its own citizens is a necessary tactical ability to achieve complete tyranny over us.
If anyone really believes our strength and security as a country are dependent on having a spy/intelligence agency like NSA they are sadly mistaken. The types of things going on in our country means that Putin doesn’t have to do anything, we are already there.
Our strength as a country depend on the inner moral character and spiritual strength of our citizens, coupled with a a true patriotism formed from our citizens being taught our true history, the Biblical foundations of liberty, and what our constitution really says, and a belief that it still works. With all that, we cannot be overtaken. Without it (which is where I believe we are now) no “intelligence” agency is capable of defending us from the treasonous sellouts that inevitably take positions of power when a country falls into moral anarchy.
Clearly and well stated.
I agree totally.
And it is frightening.
It is in God’s hands at this point. It has been on several occasions in our nations history. The founders understood the action of divine providence.
