Government covers illegal acts with official lies

Edward Snowden is one of several whistleblowers that have exposed the illegal acts of our government.  Instead of protecting them, as required by law, the government is vigorously pursuing them for their “evil” deeds.

Now the government, including most Republicans and perhaps a few Democrats, are defending this unconstitutional spying on its citizens by fear tactics — closing down embassies because they say that their spying revealed possible attacks by our enemies.

Well, perhaps! But let’s remember that this is all about big money — for the military, for the industrialists, and for the politicians. Ninety-nine percent of the revenue of Snowden’s boss comes from the federal government.

The huge database of information on everybody gathered from spying by the National Security Agency could lead to many of us being herded into our numerous Federal Emergency Managment Agency concentration camps, completely stocked with piles of coffins. Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act, which can be used to put us there.

Way back, a gang of Neocoms in the Pentagon, including future veep Dick Cheney, claimed we need a “New Pearl Harbor.” After Bush Jr. was elected, they got busy arranging the events of 9-11. On that day, three skyscrapers collapsed by controlled demolitions killing thousands.

In the massive cover-up, the show was blamed on a bunch of Arabs who were nothing more than patsies, but are now real enemies. Recently a video reluctantly released by NIST came to light in which two firemen discussed preparing to climb up to the fire of WTC No. 1. Two bombs went off in the lobby before a third collapsed it.

And still, journalists insist on parroting the official lies that al-Qaida did it.
