Even as memory of the old American Republic fades away into the oblivion of history, the descendants of the Great Experiment have a hero.  Edward Snowden has sacrified everything in the name of freedom.  This should give modern Amerikans something to ponder come July 4th.  Most probably will not.  Read a little more: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/u-whistleblower-drops-sight-faces-legal-battle-192837160.html.

(Snowden has pledged his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor for Liberty.  What have you done lately?)

The fascists nuts have already called for his head.  Some want him executed, though this presumes a trial of some sort.  They are living in the past.  More up-to-date neo-con nuts are talking about “disappearing” Snowden.  That means death by torture at some secret CIA prison or by Hellfire missile.  No need to bother a judge or jury that way.

The revelations Mr. Snowden has bravely given us of late are disturbing or, at least, would disturb earlier Americans.  However, the information is nothing new.  The government has been intercepting, recording, and reviewing almost all electronic communications since the 1990s.  Remember Echelon and Carnivore?  The freedom-minded should.  Most will not.  Prism is just a newer, better system.

The system just keeps getting bigger and better and it will thus continue.  As recently as three or four decades ago someone would have raised the Fourth Amendment amidst all the discussion.  Not now.  The Constitutional protections enjoyed by previous generations are gone.  I imagine with all this rain the new grass on the Fourth’s grave (see: Swabbing the Fourth Amendment)  must be very green.  Hopefully someone will mow it from time to time.

Dianne Fienstink, Saxby Shameless, Lindsey Sham, and the Criminal in Chief say we have nothing to worry about and that we should be grateful the Empire is watching out for us (by watching us).  Everything these people say is a lie.  They’re quotes are irrelevant and will not appear on this site.

On to happier topics!  Did you know in Arizona swimming at a gym qualifies one for a DUI??  Read on about the ordeal of one Jessie Thornton of Surprise, AZ (town seems to live up to the name…): http://cleveland.cbslocal.com/2013/06/10/man-charged-with-dui-despite-blowing-000-during-breathalyzer-test/.  Like due process, evidence is a thing of the past in Amerika.  At least Thornton was eventually released once the revenue farmers admitted they made a mistake.  Increasingly, they just kill their victims instead.  He was lucky.  And, hey!  It’s 2013.  Let’s give the “driving while black” BS a rest.  Snowden (or me or you) might be driving when the Predator locks on.  It’s all of us nowadays, folks.

A while back I did a piece on Georgia’s Operation Rolling Plunder – a systematic raping of the rights of the motoring public.  Today, the local fish-wrapper ran a story of their own about the issue: http://chronicle.augusta.com/news/crime-courts/2013-06-09/operation-thunder-pinpoints-traffic-problems?v=1370829896.  If you bother to read the “article,” you’ll notice the complete deference to the lies of the government and the total absence of any opposing view.  Half of the comments after the article are from government worshipers who “would gladly stop for more [illegal roadblocks].”  They thank the stormtroopers for “making us safe.”  Well, good on the other half, at least!  Highway tip: avoid traveling in Georgia if you can.  By the way, you might have noticed there were more citations for child seat “violations” than for DUIs.  Keeping us safe – like sheep in a fence.

More to come soon.  This post was brought to you by the NSA, the Illuminati, and the Governor’s Council for Sheep Safety.
