WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration on Thursday acknowledged that it is collecting a massive amount of telephone records from at least one carrier, reopening the debate over privacy even as
Were you upset over the government spying on AP journalists?
Because this Verizon case means that the government has been spying on you in the EXACT SAME WAY.
Wow.
Every CIA official/Obama administration personnel who approved of ANY drone strike that killed people where we didn’t even know the target must be thrown in jail.
Court: Police can take DNA swabs from arrestees
This is terrible. Police can now forcibly take your DNA and enter it into a database whether you are rightly or falsely arrested. DNA swabs should require a judge’s warrant. Cops should prove that they have good reason to take and test your DNA. Now they don’t even need that, they can just “arrest” you for whatever reason take your DNA, and it will be stored by the government FOREVER. Wow!
If Obama now admits that he has killed 4 Americans with drones, but that he “didn’t specifically target three of them” (HA!).
Can we bring up articles of impeachment for violating the 5th amendment in his extrajudicial targeting killing of one citizen, and manslaughter against 3 citizens (including a 16 year old boy).
President Obama will discuss the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups with Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew Wednesday afternoon.
This is just too precious
Internal cost estimates from 17 of the nation’s largest insurance companies indicate that health insurance premiums will grow an average of 100 percent under Obamacare, and that some will soar more than 400 percent, crushing the administration’s goal of affordability. New regulations, policies, taxes, fees and mandates are the reason for the unexpected rate shock, according to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which released a report Monday based on internal documents provided by the insurance companies. The 17 companies include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Kaiser Foundation.
Thank you, useful idiots.
Good thing we don’t live in one of those countries where the government spies on journalists.

Lol the CIA has been giving away backpacks full of cash to our puppet leader in Afghanistan. The money has fueled corruption in Afghan politics. What a joke.
Can we leave that godforsaken country already?
As always, we have a spending problem, NOT a revenue problem.
History has a great way of repeating itself, often to so long after past events. As such in the digital age it is very easy to connect the dots and realize what is going on, especially in geopolitical conflicts that the corporate media doesn’t want you to understand.
You may remember that I’ve called out the Syrian rebels before as being heavily populated by Al Qaeda linked groups who regularly desecrate Christian Churches. Our corporate media doesn’t like to report too much on these things because it has been trying to get you to hate the Syrian regime (which has its own problems).
The question naturally becomes, “Why do we support these Al Qaeda type groups in Syria when we are supposedly fighting a War on Terror?” Well, it helps to pay attention and have the right sources, because the rebel forces have promised Europe a sweet heart deal on Syrian oil from the territories that they control. In fact, just yesterday the European Union (Last years’ Nobel Peace Prize winner, naturally) lifted oil sanctions on the rebels in an attempt to get the oil flowing again. The article also concludes with the UK and France wanting to lift EU sanctions against sending weapons to the rebels as well. LOL, can’t you see? ”Get the oil flowing, baby! Give them guns so they can defend the oil, and we have ourselves a new Western Owned puppet dictatorship in the Middle East.
How am I able to connect the dots? Because in Libya, just two years ago, those Al Qaeda backed Libyan rebels promised France 35% of Libya’s oil 17 days BEFORE the NATO bombing campaign started.
See the pattern?
North Korea has issued a series of
Obama saying that our deficits are shrinking is like an obese man saying that he only gained 50lbs this year.
Obama is such a tool, this man who himself smoked cannabis and did cocaine is going after people who use medicine that makes their lives better.
All government lists can eventually be used by government against the people. This is why government “databases” of everyone who smokes cannabis or everyone who owns firearms are simply unacceptable.
Of course, Obama’s useful idiots will continue to defend him no matter what, because they are willfully ignorant as to his actions.
A judge has blocked Iowa State University from releasing documents about food safety research conducted for the beef-processing company that makes the product dubbed “pink slime” by critics.
District Judge Dale Ruigh ruled last month that releasing the records would damage Beef Products, Inc. by revealing information about its proprietary food-processing techniques. Releasing them also would eliminate revenue that Iowa State laboratories receive from companies, who would go elsewhere for testing if they feared results were public records, he said.
“I think it’s in the best interest of the companies that do business in Iowa, the general public, and the university,” said attorney John Bickel, who represented BPI.
This is a classic example of government making a situation worse. This would NEVER happen in a libertarian society. Look at this folks, government is protecting a private company by blocking scientific research that proves their product is bad. Insane.
