Quote of the day:
Congressman Peter King is a thug and a two-faced liar. This apologist for fascism openly supports the MEK and the Real IRA, both of which were declared terrorist organizations by none other than the US government. The prime accuser against Julian Assange is a CIA operative, closely connected with US-financed anticommunist groups, deported from Cuba for what Havana labeled subversive activity. A gender crime indeed. As for all the liberals and progressives? Nowhere to be found. They bought into the cult of Obama, who has given them what the Republican Party would not dare … a totalitarian America. -- Charles Everett
Yet we listen to Peter King (R-NY), supporter of terrorists ...
Bread and circus for the masses. The moral decadence of a lost society.
That’s what you’re supposed to be doing. You’re supposed to be calling for his head. You’re supposed to be outraged. You’re supposed to be fearful that any further leaks of this nature must be stopped at any cost. At ANY cost. Meaning your liberty. Because that’s what you are about to willingly give up. 2011 will no doubt bring us legislation that will restrict the internet in some way. To protect us. For our national security. Who can argue with that? You won’t because you hate Assange so much right now that you will gladly trade away some freedom for the government safety net.
They weren’t shut down because the Feds need a crisis. A crisis in order to get the American people to willingly give up their privacy rights. Had they simply enacted legislation without a crisis, they would have faced a firestorm of rebellion. However, in doing it this way, we just lay down like a little kitten and purr.
Goodbye freedom, and thanks for all the fish!
Your righteous indignation is an example to us all. Keep it coming (but don't forget your blood pressure meds). Cheers.
Nice "big picture" analysis. Have to have a crisis to exert control--Chavez does it every week.
