Excellent ... BO is keeping the wire taps in place ... AND FOR A DAMN GOOD REASON !!!

[Doc Mercer]

Since the election of BO there has been a growing internal threat to this country.

right-wing militias and vague threats of violent uprisings by sore losers and media pundits

When you have Glen Beck reading from the same script as Newt Gingrich, and Bush/Cheney moles roaming the halls of the DoD and the DoJ how do one propose saving our republic from the barbarians who are already past the gates?

If anyone wants to see these people frog marched for crimes like treason, domestic propaganda, political prosecutions, perjury, torture, blackmail, etc

Beck and Bachman scream "Socialists" and fuckin dumbass Beck got busted recently not even know the actual history of Socialism .... Many of the reasons promoted by these crazies are the laundry list of projects and policies put in place by their beloved Bush administration and the republican party leadership, and promoted by the think tanks and pundits that now proclaim that they are all doomed to be the victims of "fascist tendencies"


I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY THIS .... THANK YOU MR BUSH AS BO CAN USE THIS TO MONITOR THE REAL THREATS TO OUR COUNTRY:

RUSH LIMBAUGH
GLENN BECK
MICHELLE BACHMAN
MARK LEVIN
SEAN HANNITY

Every Liberal blasted this policy when Bush implimited it.....

Now you guys are praising it.......

Obama fears for his life and if there are real threats against his life (im sure there are every President has threats) then measures should be taken to protect him....

Im just saying if Bush did this because of threats on his life every liberal under the sun would be blasting it and calling the ACLU......

So again I say

Doc;
The posts in this thread show your control freak fascisit tendencies at their worst.A president doesn't get "taken out" unless some very influential people want it done,there are no accidents.
You're so committed to the Obama agenda that any criticism of HIM is taken too personally by you.
Is it acceptable to violate the 1st amendment,and muzzle speech even if it's disagreeable to you?
Would the "Office of National Cybersecurity" also be opposed to the constitution,specifically the 4th amendment?


Should Obama Control the Internet?

A new bill would give the President emergency authority to halt web traffic and access private data.

?By Steve Aquino
Thu April 2, 2009
From:
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2009/04/should-obama-control-internet


<!-- Article Text -->Should President Obama have the power to shut down domestic Internet traffic during a state of emergency?

Senators John Rockefeller (D-W. Va.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) think so. On Wednesday[4/1/2009] they introduced a bill to establish the Office of the National Cybersecurity Advisor?an arm of the executive branch that would have vast power to monitor and control Internet traffic to protect against threats to critical cyber infrastructure. That broad power is rattling some civil libertarians.

e Cybersecurity Act of 2009 (PDF) gives the president the ability to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" and shut down or limit Internet traffic in any "critical" information network "in the interest of national security." The bill does not define a critical information network or a cybersecurity emergency. That definition would be left to the president.
The bill doesn't only add to the power of the president. It also grants the Secretary of Commerce "access to all relevant data concerning [critical] networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule, or policy restricting such access." This means he or she can monitor or access any data on private or public networks without regard to privacy laws.

Rockefeller made cybersecurity one of his key issues as a member of the Senate intelligence committee, which he chaired until last year. He now heads the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, which will take up this bill.
"We must protect our critical infrastructure at all costs?from our water to our electricity, to banking, traffic lights and electronic health records?the list goes on," Rockefeller said in a statement. Snowe echoed her colleague, saying, "if we fail to take swift action, we, regrettably, risk a cyber-Katrina."

But the wide powers outlined in the Rockefeller-Snowe legislation has at least one Internet advocacy group worried. "The cybersecurity threat is real," says Leslie Harris, head of the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT), "but such a drastic federal intervention in private communications technology and networks could harm both security and privacy."

The bill could undermine the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), says CDT senior counsel Greg Nojeim. That law, enacted in the mid '80s, requires law enforcement seek a warrant before tapping in to data transmissions between computers.
"It's an incredibly broad authority," Nojeim says, pointing out that existing privacy laws "could fall to this authority."

Jennifer Granick, civil liberties director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, says that granting such power to the Commerce secretary could actually cause networks to be less safe. When one person can access all information on a network, "it makes it more vulnerable to intruders," Granick says. "You've basically established a path for the bad guys to skip down."
The bill's scope, she says, is "contrary to what the Constitution promises us." That's because of the impact it could have on Internet users' privacy rights: If the Commerce Department uncovers evidence of illegal activity when accessing "critical" networks, that information could be used against a potential defendant, even if the department never had the intent to find incriminating evidence. And this might violate the Constitutional protection against searches without cause.

"Once information is accessed, it can be used for whatever purpose, no matter the original reason for accessing something," Granick says. "Who's interested in this [bill]? Law enforcement and people in the security industry who want to ensure more government dollars go to them."
Nojeim, though, thinks it's possible the bill's powers could be trimmed as it moves through Congress. "We will be working with them to clarify just what is needed and how to accomplish that," he says. "We're hopeful that some of the very broad powers that the bill would confer won't be included."

Keith Olbermann's Scathing Criticism
of Obama's Secrecy/Immunity Claims

By Glenn Greenwald
April 08,2009 "Salon"

-Several weeks ago, I noted that unlike the Right -- which turned itself into a virtual cult of uncritical reverence for George W. Bush especially during the first several years of his administration -- large numbers of Bush critics have been admirably willing to criticize Obama when he embraces the very policies that prompted so much anger and controversy during the Bush years. Last night, Keith Olbermann -- who has undoubtedly been one of the most swooning and often-uncritical admirers of Barack Obama of anyone in the country (behavior for which I rather harshly criticized him in the past) -- devoted the first two segments of his show to emphatically lambasting Obama and Eric Holder's DOJ for the story I wrote about on Monday: namely, the Obama administration's use of the radical Bush/Cheney state secrets doctrine and -- worse still -- a brand new claim of "sovereign immunity" to insist that courts lack the authority to decide whether the Bush administration broke the law in illegally spying on Americans.

The fact that Keith Olbermann, of all people, spent the first ten minutes of his show attacking Obama for replicating (and, in this instance, actually surpassing) some of the worst Bush/Cheney abuses of executive power and secrecy claims reflects just how extreme is the conduct of the Obama DOJ here.
Just as revealingly, the top recommended Kos diary today (voted by the compulsively pro-Obama Kos readership) is one devoted to attacking Obama for his embrace of Bush/Cheney secrecy and immunity doctrines (and promoting the Olbermann clips).

Then again who would know that having an AA in the WH would cause
the Skinheads, KKKers and the followers of Hannity and Beck to show such

Yeah .... Bush was a war criminal ... BO has done nothing to justify the
personal attacks at this stage with death threats and I pray Beck fucks

Doc;
Does anything go as long as the currently in favor other side neo-liberal crime family's running things?
When it was Bush offering security in trade for constituional freedoms the criticism was warranted,as it should be now when Obama's continuing and extending the power of the state over its citizens.
As long as Obama's policy agenda generally jibes with Bilderberg,CFR,the Tri-Lateral Commission,and other elite interests[there's no reason it won't],he's perfectly safe,and any threats being incited among fringe groups are not serious,but actually useful as pretexts for more broadly cracking down on valid dissenters too.
Beck,Hannity,etc.don't just originate their content without purpose,there's a design behind what they do,not randomness.

from Bush/Cheney to Obama

By Larry Chin

</TD><TD vAlign=top align=right>e


</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
To sober, clear-eyed observers of history and political deception, the ascension of Barack Obama held the promise for unprecedented new dangers: a revitalized New World Order, led by the Anglo-American empire?s neoliberal criminal faction and an iconic, deceptive new facilitator; and a continuation of Bush/Cheney criminality and war, under smarter and much more effective management.

Now, just months into their tenure, the Barack Obama administration has more than fulfilled the murderous promises he made to his elite constituency, deepening the mass destruction of Bush/Cheney, while charming its victims all over the world into enjoying their own demise.

The empire?s facilitator
Beneath his seemingly boundless charisma and charm, Barack Obama has always been an utterly ruthless politician. He has been a compromiser who has danced with the darkest forces of political and criminal power, while winning over common people; a consensus-abiding chameleon and a ?pragmatist.? Obama is the true model of what George W. Bush only claimed to be: ?a uniter, not a divider.?

The signs were clear from the early days of the presidential contest that Obama was, like every presidential candidate, a handpicked puppet. His cadre of national security and foreign policy advisors included the most notorious war criminals, intelligence/security ?advisors? and corrupt think tank assets in the world. His campaign was bankrolled by Wall Street, and big corporations. His policy agenda was taken from the playbook of the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. Both neoliberal (and neocon) elite power and money coalesced behind Obama, as his political rivals dropped off.

Obama?s record in the US Senate was one of general complicity with Bush/Cheney and the status quo, including enthusiastic support of the consensus ?war on terrorism? deception and the big 9/11 lie. Former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has described how, in her encounters with Obama, the senator from Illinois repeatedly refused to act in opposition to Bush/Cheney policies. Time again, during his days in the Senate, and throughout the presidential campaign, Obama has not only fully supported the Bush/Cheney administration on the USAPATRIOT Act, and the wholesale militarization and criminalization of the United States.

Article from:
http://www.blackcommentator.com/319/319_kir_jekyll_hyde.html

Rarely had so many been hoodwinked by so few, until the installation of Barack Obama as the head of the U.S. Empire. The fact is that Barack Obama is not the fulfillment of anything but the nightmare of continuing 21st Century <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 /><ST1LACE w:st="on"><ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on">U.S.</ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> Empire.
Recently, even as it appeared that Barack Obama nearly broke his back, bending over in unnecessary and overly subservient obeisance to the current Saudi Arabian ?King? Abdullah, economic and conditions for everyday Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow peoples right here in this nation have continued to significantly worsen on a daily basis.
There is an enormous difference between sovereign Heads of State exhibiting simple diplomatic respect towards each other and needlessly prostrating oneself. The symbolism of Obama?s over done and unnecessary prostration to ?King? Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is telling, chilling, and deeply troubling. It is noteworthy that notwithstanding its own hypocrisy, the <ST1LACE w:st="on"><ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on">United States of America</ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> was brought into existence as a result of fighting a protracted and bloody war for ?freedom? against a King and other monarchs and tyrants of the period. If indeed there is to be any prostration on the part of Barack Obama towards anyone then let it be (in both word and deed) to the everyday, ordinary Black, Brown, Red, White, and Yellow peoples of ?America? and the world, not Wall Street barons, banksters, kings or other such monarchs.</ST1LACE>
<ST1LACE w:st="on">
By now even some of the politically deaf, dumb, and blind of this land should be able to see that other than misleading rhetoric, no ?change? of any real substance, is in the making. In fact, and to the contrary, Obama is busy pandering to the very same Wall Street institutions to whom his predecessors gave unceasing political and economic homage and loyalty. Nothing has changed substantively or systemically.

1. On the matters of <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on">Afghanistan</ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> and <ST1LACE w:st="on"><ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on">Iraq</ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>, Obama is in reality widening these wars not ending them. Moreover, his political and military destabilization policy towards <ST1LACE w:st="on"><ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on">Pakistan</ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> is short sighted, wrong, hypocritical and enormously dangerous for that entire region of the world. These wars are being continued by Barack Obama, while the peoples of <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on">Iraq</ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>, <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on">Afghanistan</ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>, and <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on">Pakistan</ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> are butchered, not to mention the ongoing deaths of <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on"><ST1LACE w:st="on">U.S.</ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> men and women in uniform who remain the canon fodder for the U.S. Empire?s war machine. In this regard also, nothing has substantively or systemically changed under Barack Obama.</ST1LACE></ST1LACE></ST1LACE>
<ST1LACE w:st="on"><ST1LACE w:st="on"><ST1LACE w:st="on"></ST1LACE></ST1LACE></ST1LACE>
<ST1LACE w:st="on"><ST1LACE w:st="on"><ST1LACE w:st="on"></ST1LACE></ST1LACE></ST1LACE><ST1LACE w:st="on"><ST1LACE w:st="on"><ST1LACE w:st="on">2. Notwithstanding Obama?s endless rhetoric, on the matter of the absolutely criminal financial bail-out of the Wall Street barons and banksters, inclusive of the avaricious insurance companies, Barack Obama has demonstrated repeatedly that he is deep in the pocket of Wall Street, not the people.Expect no systemic change from him for it will not be forthcoming.

3. On the matter of his attempting to bully and boycott the United Nations Conference on Racism, Obama is both wrong and hypocritical. Obama?s actions in this regard have made it quite clear that he opposes serious and systemic compensation / reparations for the descendants of the trans Atlantic slave trade, though no one should be surprised by this since he serves the interests of furthering and maintaining U.S. Empire and is himself, despite his slight pigmentation, the descendant of slave holders not slaves. What better way to maintain racism and other forms of economic exploitation than to have a Barack Obama as its de facto point man?!

4. On the matter of universal single payer health care, Obama and his minions offer the deliberately misleading rhetoric of so-called ?affordable health care? which is not Universal single payer health care and still serves the financial interests first and foremost of the bloated and blood sucking insurance companies and their Wall Street accomplices. Universal single payer health care for everyday people is, and must be treated as, a human right, not some capitalist market commodity from which money is to be made or profit gained. On this matter of health care Obama and both the Democrat and Republican Parties (i.e. the Republicrats) are hustling the peoples of this nation.

5. Despite his misleading rhetoric to the contrary, Obama has set out to break the back of organized labor in a way that would have made Ronald Reagan green with envy. Again, this should come as no surprise as back in 2008, Obama made his strong ?admiration? for the late Ronald Reagan known. This is the same anti-union Ronald Reagan who is remembered for, among other things, despising poor and working class people and for having utilized the military to neutralize the legitimate organizing / labor rights and aspirations of <ST1LACE w:st="on"><ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on">U.S.</ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> civilian air traffic controllers, etc.
One should not be surprised at being bitten by the proverbial snake.

Future columns of Keeping It Real will delve into various details pertaining to the above points and much, much more.

It must be reiterated that Barack Obama is not the fulfillment of anything but the nightmare of continuing 21st Century <ST1LACE w:st="on"><ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on">U.S.</ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> Empire. This can and must be changed only by we the people collectively organizing, not by politicians who in reality serve the interests of the Wall Street / Military / Prison industry?s elite.</ST1LACE>
<ST1LACE w:st="on"></ST1LACE>
<ST1LACE w:st="on">The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde politics and policies of Barack Obama are not acceptable.
Onward?

July 22, 2009 "Salon" --
This summer, on a remote stretch of desert in central Utah, the National Security Agency will begin work on a massive, 1 million-square-foot data warehouse. Costing more than $1.5 billion, the highly secret facility is designed to house upward of trillions of intercepted phone calls, e-mail messages, Internet searches and other communications intercepted by the agency as part of its expansive eavesdropping operations. The NSA is also completing work on another data warehouse, this one in San Antonio, Texas, which will be nearly the size of the Alamodome.

The need for such extraordinary data storage capacity stems in part from the Bush administration's decision to open the NSA's surveillance floodgates following the 9/11 attacks. According to a recently released Inspectors General report, some of the NSA's operations -- such as spying on American citizens without warrants -- were so questionable, if not illegal, that they nearly caused the resignations of the most senior officials of both the FBI and the Justice Department.

Last July[2008], many of those surveillance techniques were codified into law as part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Amendments Act (FAA). In fact, according to the Inspectors General report, "this legislation gave the government even broader authority to intercept international communications" than the warrantless surveillance operations had. Yet despite this increased power, congressional oversight committees have recently discovered that the agency has been over-collecting on the domestic communications of Americans, thus even exceeding the excessive reach granted them by the FAA.

Among the most striking discoveries to come out of the Inspectors General report was that, despite the enormous expansion of the NSA's capabilities, including turning its giant ear inward for the first time in three decades, no one could point to any significant counterterrorism success. Instead, it warned that while the agency had little difficulty collecting vast amounts of data, the trouble was analyzing it all. It was a problem akin to Jorge Luis Borges' "Library of Babel," a place where the collection of information is both infinite and at the same time monstrous, where the entire world's knowledge is stored, but not a single word understood. In this "labyrinth of letters," Borges wrote, "there are leagues of senseless cacophonies, verbal jumbles and incoherences." In addition to the civil liberties and constitutional defects in the new surveillance law, another compelling argument against it is that it only increases the amount of "senseless cacophonies" in America's Library of Babel.

Are We Winning the Battle on the Web?
Or Are We Just Letting Off eSteam

Washington?s Blog

http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2009/07/who-is-winning-on-web.html

...remember that the internet was created by the military (it was originally called Arpanet - ?Arpa? standing for ?Advanced Research Projects Agency?).
And that a former CIA officer says that seed money from the the CIA helped launch Google.
And that the security services ? especially the NSA ? are tracking everything we do on the net. Indeed, as I?ve previously written:

A governmental unit operating in secret and with no oversight whatsoever is gathering massive amounts of data on every American and running artificial intelligence software to predict each American?s behavior, including ?what the target will do, where the target will go, who it will turn to for help??
The Pentagon is also running an AI program to see how people will react to propaganda and to government-inflicted terror. The program is called Sentient World Simulation:
​

?U.S defense, intel and homeland security officials are constructing a parallel world, on a computer, which the agencies will use to test propaganda messages and military strategies.
Called the Sentient World Simulation, the program uses AI routines based upon the psychological theories of Marty Seligman, among others. (Seligman introduced the theory of ?learned helplessness? in the 1960s, after shocking beagles until they cowered, urinating, on the bottom of their cages.)

Yank a country?s water supply. Stage a military coup. SWS will tell you what happens next.
The sim will feature an AR avatar for each person in the real world, based upon data collected about us from government records and the internet.?
​

So we are using the web to spread the truth.

But the powers-that-be may also be using the web to let us blow off eSteam ? venting our frustrations in a virtual environment, instead of actually doing something in the real world, like surrounding Congress in a peaceful protest, or taking other action to challenge those in power.

And they are studying our every moves, to study not only what we?re doing, but to be able to predict how best to manipulate us.
The commonly-accepted wisdom of bloggers (such as me) is that we are slowly but surely winning the battle to spread the truth.
After all, the web has now become the most popular source for news.
And the alternative media has sometimes pounded on stories so hard that the corporate news was forced to cover them, and the politicians and business elites were forced to scramble to explain away their actions.
...a comment on my website posted by dogismyth summarized something I?ve been thinking about:

This is why there is still unlimited, unfettered access to freedom of speech on the internet. Because the powers that be (PTB) know that people feel better about the situation just openly talking about the issues. The internet to them is not a threat, but it is our crutch. People complain, explain, disdain, sustain and act in pain on the internet about a myriad of problems.
AND THEY FEEL BETTER. So much better, that they do absolutely nothing else. Well, most do anyway.

I don?t know what to think anymore. Has anyone ever read the Berlin Stories by Christopher Isherwood? They take place in Germany right before the total Nazi takeover and one character is an ardent commie who posts bills and writes pamphlets and rants all over the place. He is happy playing his game of bad ass rebel. Then ?they? take him away to die, in earnest. All his friends that can scatter do so. That whole section sticks in my head whenever I read some of the comments on this and other websites. I know I?m on a list somewhere and I don?t give a shit anymore. The question is,?what do we DO? What will be our final stand?? Sorry. Maybe it?s sunspots. I?m just so discouraged lately.

I would argue that instead of spreading information, the internet does the opposite ? it contains the spread of information, just to those who choose to seek it out, it distorts the perception of the value of such information because it isolates communication of this information only to parties aware of it or seeking to be made aware of it and creates the illusion that spreading information actually acomplishes something else, other than communication of sought after or expected information by a defined group. ?Preaching to a choir?, if you will.
I grew up in old Soviet Union,in the late 60?s and early 70?s ? during time of my childhood, the Soviet government subsidized many different forms of recreation. Leisure travel (within Soviet Union), sports, arts / humanities, etc. One could argue that besides the social value of this, the other purpose was to simply take up people?s free time with activities that would prevent them from spending too much of their free time thinking about or participating in politics. Internet provides a much cheaper solution. Case in point ? I just wasted 5 minutes typing this and you wasted 2 minutes reading it. What did this actually acomplish?

Cubs has obviously not following what is going on

Limbaugh and Beck are on the fence Treason with their comments

If Barack can use this to his advantage good for him as the KKK and
Skinheads are eating up Beck's and Limbaugh's lies and for his safety
and the sanity of this country I am all for monitoring Beck and
Limbaugh along with Hannity nite and day

Oh spare us with the fear mongering "skin heads and KKK". What are there 2,000 left in the country? Give me a break.

And the "treasonous" language of Limbaugh and Beck amounts to about 1/100 of what was spewed about President Bush the past 8 years.

Hmmm

what "Lib" Media types were touting Revolution

Keith Olbermann openly lamented the fact that Cheney wasn't killed on one of his visits to Iraq. The Huffington Post (among other far less mainstream outlets) touted revolution and the violent overthrow of the government.
