Who cares at this point?
Isn’t it amazing how all the other scandals, which were occupying the news, have suddenly been suppressed by this one Lone Wolf?
LOL
He’s an invention and a shiny object.
Kind of a sleight of hand...
People! People! Look over there!
No way this guy exists.
Not even qualified for Top Secret.
The clue is his bio.
No high school, college. That right there doesn’t even get your resume on anyone’s desk.
He’s a distraction.
He’s a stock photo for “Wired Magazine” or a “Picture Frame” you buy at Macy’s.
Wag the fake story.
The extra three billion pieces of information (actually much more) make it impossible to predict terrorism without millions of useless false positives. The system would detect a terrorism keyword in your grandmother's phone call which would be linked to your aunt via other records and your aunt's purchase of some chemicals for a benign hobby of some sort all based on a glut of diffuse useless data and boneheaded algorithms. (not to mention the fact that the data collected can be abused)
The FBI would then waste their resources on a useless lead and thousands more instead of doing their more effective rope-a-dope terrorist takedowns. Imagine instead of interviewing then ignoring Tamaran, they provided him with dummy explosives. They've done that before successfully. There would also be innocent people ensnared in a few cases but that's a much smaller price to pay for security.
I have not read where this guy has given out one bit of secret information.
Just that information was being mined by the Feds.
If I am wrong on this, please tell me were I missed it.
While they're 'protecting Islam' they're also attacking conservative Americans based on bullshit. It's time for us to know what 'enemy' these folks think they're protecting Americans from...
Past time.
Great post kreitzer - bookmarked.
