Snowden journalist set to make ‘biggest’ disclosure yet (Names of Americans Being Spied Upon)

Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who helped NSA leaker Edward Snowden expose state secrets to the world, is set to make his “biggest” disclosure yet — the names of Americans the government spied on, he told The Sunday Times.

Greenwald added that Snowden’s legacy will be “shaped in large part” by this “finishing piece,” which is based on information obtained in the nearly 2 million documents the former NSA contractor secretly stole from the government.

The Conservatives on the list will be a meaningless part of this, though. What will be the bombshell is when every government official is on it. If two or three people at NSA, who nobody has even heard of, own the Supreme Court, Congress, the President and all of his staff, all the generals, and most of the media, we are practically, a stealth dictatorship with a illusion of democracy. There is no elected official, unless he does what the secret cabal wants. If he doesn’t, they just Petraeus him, and put in somebody who will do their bidding.

It is funny, but we may end up not sure if Russia is all that more controlled a form of government than we are. If the above article was even half true, this could be the biggest revelation in the history of America.

> It would be nice to think that an impeachment might come out of the biggest rape of the bill of rights to date. But thanks to a pack of morons who decided to impeach slick over lying about a blowjob instead of the Chinese getting a pack of US rocket and weapons technology, no president will ever face impeachment again.

Worth repeating....lol

You may have guessed from my earlier post that I’m a bit cynical and gloomy about the prospects for the future. It’s my belief that America, and much of the world has become what the Soviet Union was during the 1970s. Or like the Roman Republic in its later days.

There is one political ruling class. There may be different “parties” but they are window-shop dressing for the veneer of democracy. The political ruling class extends to the mass media, which is their propaganda arm. Anyone can enter the ruling class, but it is not easy to do so. It also helps to be from a ruling class family.

Within that ruling class, there are struggles for power and jockeying for position. There are internal checks and balances. As for the Rule of Law, the Law is for the peasants but not for the ruling class. But the ruling class has its rules. And while they can bend the laws, they can’t mess with the rules. Anyone cast out of the ruling class has broken one or more of it’s unwritten rules.

And the democracy or republic is just a political charade to make the masses think they have influence. Anything that resembles a popular movement that threatens the ruling class is dealt with in the following ways:

1. The public participants (the masses) are targeted for oppression by the legal and bureaucratic organs of the state;

2. The public participants are publicly vilified by the propaganda organs of the state;

3. Leaders of the popular movement are screened for admission to the ruling class, and bought off, or they are destroyed.

Being screened and bought off is one of the few ways for an outsider to break in. However, once a member of the club, they are expected to follow the rules. Most do; why not? It’s not a bad gig if you can swing it.
