Vladimir Putin: Edward Snowden Still In Moscow Airport Transit Zone, Won't Be Extradited

Has it really not occurred to you that the distribution of wealth, both here in the United States  and beyond that, around the world, and how the concentration of wealth has increased exponentially in the past few years, isn't just a craps shoot?  That it's the result of what these intelligence agencies are up to?  
I don't know why you would defend this system unless you were one of those getting paid off (politicians, bankers, et al).  

The richest 1% in the US aren't sharing their winnings with us.  They're imposing austerity, where we the peons people are picking up the tab for their corporate wars for resources while the rich and corporate are offshoring profits, and pushing more and more of us into poverty.  They're not creating jobs for us.  They're not shoring up our infrastructure.  They're putting the squeeze on us.  Making education farther out of our reach.  They're not making us safer from attacks.  By having so many people unemployed, particularly young men, they're actually manufacturing the circumstances from which home-grown radicals are born.

Edward Snowden Going To Ecuador To Seek Asylum: WikiLeaks

Blackmail by RichardRaznikov


Do you remember back when BushCo was beating the drum for war against Iraq, he wanted the AUMF from Congress along with a UN seal of approval, do you recall that story about John Bolton having ordered intercepts on Colin Powell's phone calls? There was talk that Bolton was reporting back to Bush-Cheney that Powell was sabotaging their war effort with backdoor phone conversations with other nations' UN ambassadors. That's why you don't want an NSA capable of doing this to the People's representatives to Congress and the White House.

Edward Snowden Going To Ecuador To Seek Asylum: WikiLeaks

"9/11!  9/11!  9/11!"

If I didn't know better I'd swear it was 9/12/01, BushCheney were still in office and we were preparing to go to war in Syria, Yemen, Pakistan, Iraq.

The same problem that existed back then, that enabled 19 men, mostly Saudis, to hijack 4 planes and fly them into the WTC exists today.  It wasn't a lack of intelligence but the failure of the government to act on it.  The proof we have is the Boston Marathon bombing just over two months ago.  US authorities were tipped to the Tarnaev brothers and did nothing.  

The massive surveillance apparatus over Americans has nothing to do with keeping Americans safe from attack.  That's really not what our government does, and if you'd ever lost a loved one through a terror attack you'd know that.  The only time the government gets involved is when it threatens commerce. Do you recall Bush in the first days after 9/11?  "Go shopping".  

What's really going on - 

Another NSA whistleblower RussTice claims key government figures, including president Obama and numerous others have been under surveillance. A massive potential exists of NSA to blackmail political figures, judges, lawyers, CEOs and etc. to manipulate the US domestic and foreign policies, judicial system, legislatures, media, corporations, banks and so on might have already done grave damages to achieve crucial military and corporate agendas. 

“Don’t tell me there’s no abuse because I had this stuff in my hands, I looked at it.  In some cases I was literally involved in the technology that was going after this stuff.  I had my hand literally on the paperwork. They went after members of Congress, Senate and the House, especially on the intelligence and ArmedServices committees, the judicial committee, but they went after other ones, too. They went after lawyers, law firms, judges. They went after StateDepartment officials… They went after US international corporations, US banking firms, financial firms. They went after NGOs (non-governmental organizations) like the RedCross and people like that, that go overseas and do humanitarian work…"

“I can give you names of a bunch of different people they went after that I saw, the names, phone numbers of congress people and not only them, what looked like staff people, too......Not only their congressional offices, their home state offices. It's incredible what NSA’s done. They turned themselves into a rogue agency that has JEdgarHoover capabilities on a monstrous scale, on steroids.”
