Dallas59 ~:” I still want to see a list of the terror plots that they have prevented. WITH NAMES AND COUNTRY of origin. Case closed.”
Exactly !!
This is an organization which is supposed to be supervized by the Senate Foreign Intelligence Committee .
Since Diane Fienstein ,committee chair of that committee , doesn’t foster any warm feelings of security to my mind ,
I believe NSA is basicly unsupervised and has no meaningful oversight .
Obviously , they can , and have , ‘fluffed’ the committee in the past , and continue to do so now .
Obviously , the organization has by its own authorization , and by its own public admission , strayed from its intended purpose .
Instead of useful foreign intelligence regarding terrrorism , it has redirected its’ own
information gathering meta-data resources to American citizens on American soil.
McConnell’s suggestion that if ‘we have done nothing wrong that we then have nothing to worry about’ is beyond absurd !!
McCain must be sharing his meds with McConnell. They are both the ‘useful idiots’ that Lenin spoke of so highly .
It means that our own government believes that we are the potential terrorists either now , or in the future.
#1) That means that when we have ‘known terrorists’ who can be identified through profiling of extreme beliefs,and
#2) who already acknowledge a history of commiting atrocious acts by are ignored , by fiat of our government
#3) and that resource is then re-directed towards the general American citizenry
#4) that this secret organization maintains a list of American contacts on its citizen population,
#5) then the government clearly believes that we are the potential terrorists .. What !! (say that again, out loud !!)
And it is our own government, the current administration, that continues to thrive on this data , obtained in violation of Constitutional standards
and encourages this continued information gathering and preparations of lists of associates.
Provide a list of the terror plots that they have prevented. WITH NAMES AND COUNTRY of origin. Case closed.”!!
No list ,.. no continued funding !

in the end have neither, nor deserve neither.” ~ Ben Franklin

Yes, DHS already put that into print in 2009 at the bottom of p. 2 in a booklet(U//FOUO)(which means Unclassified, For Official Use Only) Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment. “Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”
That was in 2009. Since 2012, they can add opposition to gay marriage, gay soldiers, gay athletes, etc. gun control, border control, criticizing Islam, a strict Constitution, voter ID, spying on citizens, Arab Spring, Muslim Brotherhood, and anything else this administration approves of. Ethics and morality have been turned upside down. If violence ensues at the Million Muslim March on 9/11/2013, Marxist-Muslim Obama may declare martial law. A Dallas CAIR director, Mustafa Carroll, said, “If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land.” That means practicing Islam is treason. Islam is not just a religion, it is a government, as seen in Iran, where Valerie Jarrett was born.
