NSA Weasel Bait

Imagine the depths of human depravity necessary to be sitting in a glass cube somewhere around DC,conducting unreasonable searches of  persons, houses, papers, and effects, and rationalizing that activity without getting up, giving their notice, walking out the door, and maintaining their integrity as a fellow citizen worthy of something other than utter contempt?

When confronted with the clearly criminal acts of our employers, we have two choices.    We can access our spine, or we can sit in our chair and rationalize away-- its our job, a weasel somewhere has finessed their way around these very clearly written words, the nation needs this surrender to the terrorists whose very purpose was to destroy American freedom, which we are doing for them, and carry on so that we can pay our rent and make our car payments and so on, just like the Nazi guards once rationalized in that earlier state uber alles cluster fuck.

Kyrel the government is using the threat of terrorism as the scapegoat in order to draw people's attention.  It is a statists wet dream that they were waiting for just such an excuse so as to implement these measures without having fear of rebellion or protest even on the part of the sheeple.

You're welcome!

Perhaps in the years to come a Brilliant young mind may write an almost autobiography of her escape from the dictatorship that sprung up in the USA.. Instead of calling it "We The Living" it could be called We The Sheeple:How America Pissed Away Its Freedom and is now FUXORED!  (Fuxored is my other contribution to RoR!)

Good point. I think today's dominant pro-tyranny political philosophy is partially using the jihadi threat as a mere excuse and rationalization for their Big Brother goals and ideals. But the statists are also partially sincere and honest, in my opinion. Today's intellectuals simply believe in do-goodism or altruism. This applies to the jihadism problem, and every other one. Statists fundamentally think that the people are too stupid and evil to make their own decisions and live their own lives right. Political tyranny is how the statist do-gooders solve these various problems and "help" the people. And if the do-gooders and statists have to lie about the Muslim threat -- to exaggerate and mischaracterize the nature of the menace -- in order to grow the gov't and shrink individual freedom, what's the harm? The noble cause of slavery has been advanced.

Haha Fred!

I had 4 days off and spent the time out in the wilds taking photographs and hiding from drones!

More zeros!! Lol

Perhaps we underestimate the value of all those zeros; after all, they are backed by the full faith and credit of the US Government, meaning, a promise to show up three months later with a new freshly printed piece of paper with even more zeros in it.

There is no end to the number of zeros they can print on a piece of paper, and the amazing thing is, when they do that, folks will hand over stuff they made to the government in exchange.  Well, folks close to the CronyFest, anyway.     See, that 'stimulates something they like to call 'the' economy.

But lets not forget; governments also ask the folks who make all the stuff to also make the stuff to fight the wars, and not only that, but they ask the folks who make the stuff to fight the wars to actually fight and bleed and die in the same wars.

See, somebody needs to ask their secretary to print the zeros. 

And somebody else needs to make all the stuff and also fight and bleed and die in the wars.

This is pretty much the curriculum in the Ivy League; figuring out who is who.

Stimulated yet?
