Getting Uncle Sam Off Our Corporate Backs
SEVERAL OF AMERICA'S LARGEST HIGH TECH corporations, outfits like google, sent a letter to President Barack Hussein Obama asking him to please, pretty please back on a bit on the surveillance. Can you imagine! Google, asking President O, aka the U.S. fed gov, to cut it some slack when it comes to spying. Google, that legal incorporated individual, doesn't care a whit about whether the American government spies on private American citizens, private citizens all over the world, foreign corporations, or foreign governments. But google feels imposed upon, and wants the President himself to do something about it. Wouldn't google be better off, wouldn't they get better results, by going to the director of the NSA, or the CIA, or the FBI, or someobdy else in the big bowl of alphabet soup? The worst they can do is kick you out of their office, hopefully. What, exactly, can the mere President of the United States do, singly, to reform in any way, shape, fashion, or form, America's intelligence community? Obama probably doesn't even know how many different spy agencies there are in America, what their names are, or how to get ahold of them. At last count, there were something like, what, a couple dozen American federal spy agencies? So, good luck to google, and the rest of our corporate community, in catching a break from uncle sam's snooping. I guess the rest of us "little people" will just keep tottering along, whispering, using sign language, hiding from cameras, phones and computers.
