Down With Tyranny

'THE RULE OF LAW' is the clever phrase obama and the gang are using to describe their point of view in the worldwide hunt for edward snowden. The federal government gang, preaching morality to the world, claiming to stand by the rule of law, while defending an unconstitutional, illegal, domestic spying program. 

The best thing to do might be to pin a medal on snowden, and let him go his merry way. And then, purge the U.S. federal govt of massive dorruption. The people of the world might not fully understand the great disconnect between the american people and their government; usually, it hardly seems as if the government is any kind of reflection of the people at all.

a great service has been rendered to the people of the world by snowden, and particularly the people of the U.S.A. Wherever he is, let's all simply agree to let him be, in defiance of the sealed arrrest warrant issued by the U.S. fed gov. Sealed, secret content. How surprising.

There is no possible further harm snowden can do to the american surveillance state. Hasn't he already done his best? Isn't it too late to shut him up, and how would punishing him help at this point, by discouraging others to follow his example? Hell, we should all follow his example. Power to the people, down with tyranny, right?

At this point, you almost begin to believe that stuff about hidden alien bodies...

At first, the government, obama, denied that anyone is listening to anyone elses phone conversations. Categorical denial. then, the military came forward and said that whatever use the spying had was very limited, and in every instance thwarted a potential act of terrorism.

Now they are just flat out saying that there is nothing wrong with it. And that to oppose it, ar argue against it, in any way, is unpatriotic. You'll be hearing this soon enough, if you aren't already. Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels. Patriotism corrupts history.

With each passing day the american people grow angrier about this violation of privacy rights. The american people will insist on a clean restoration or privacy rights, protection from government surveillence.

We want good law enforcenemnt, and a safe, crime free culture, but we do not want a citizenry armed to the teeth, or government surveillence of all aspects, or any aspects, of our lives. A world of intense international competition, with information wars and huge military forces pitted against each other cannot last long.

Self protection and healthy mistrust are necessary; but paranoia and excessive  policing of society are cancerous evils. ultimately, We The People are in charge of all these choices.
