PRUDEN: Would the government lie to you?
The Washington Times ^ | June 11, 2013 | Wesley Pruden

Posted on 06/11/2013 7:02:10 PM PDT by Hojczyk

We know this White House doesn’t think much of the Second Amendment, it has reservations about the First. When these amendments are pushed aside, the rest of us won’t have anything left. We’ll wonder how it happened.

President Obama insists that nobody at the National Security Agency is listening to anybody’s telephone calls. That may be true. Not unless they have to listen, anyway. But “aggregated metadata,” collected and analyzed by computer technology, is more revealing than content.

Two NSA whistleblowers, J. Kirk Wiebe and Billy Binney, told Megyn Kelly of Fox News how it works. When the government’s computers collect information “about you that includes locations, bank transactions, credit card transactions, travel plans, EZ Pass on and off tollways; all of that can be time-lined. To track you day to day to the point where people can get insight into your intentions and what you’re going to do next.”

The “innocent” metadata can see who you call and for how long, see what bills you pay and when, your favorite restaurants and what you usually eat, even how many glasses of wine you order to go with the veal piccata.

Good citizens must resist the temptation to regard their government as the enemy, since we know that no government agency would ever lie, cheat and steal from us. So don’t worry. Be happy. If you can.

Every single day. Especially since the Trasparent Administration took over.

Don’t think of it as losing the 1st amendment, think of it as Dear Leader granting all of us compulsory 5th amendment rights.

The real question is:

“When is the government not lying to you”.

A Correct Citizen wouldn’t think that way though.

As decreed by Chancellor AND Fuehrer B. Hussein Obama, the Utah site for the storage of NSA documents will now be known as “BLACKMAIL HQ against citizens who might oppose the Obamanation Reich in the future.”

Seig Heil! Seig Heil! SEIG HEIL!
