Daniel Ellsberg, the guy who leaked the Pentagon Papers back in 1971, says we are well on our way to becoming a police state. He cites the N.A.S. spying scandal and the Administration's treatment of Manning and Snowden as examples. I agree with him and I further cite the Fast & Furious and Benghazi coverups as well as the D.O.J. attack on the Associated Press and FOX and the I.R.S. targeting of conservative groups and individuals as further evidence. We also have the militarization of D.H.S. and law enforcement to consider.
The truth is being oppressed. We are told only what they want to tell us and then without veracity.
" I absolutely agree with Edward Snowden. It's worth a person's life, prospect of assassination, or life in prison or life in exile — it's worth that to try to restore our liberties and make this a democratic country," Ellsberg said. Speaking specifically with reference to N.S.A. he continued, "It gives the government blackmail capability over the population at large . . . With the digital stuff alone, we have a surveillance capability that outmatches any police state in the history of humanity."
Obama has prosecuted twice as many whistleblowers as all previous presidents combined. Times in this country are dangerous when you have government employees in high positions hosting websites that call for blacks to kills whites and you get an almost total lack of care or concern on the part of the agency involved.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
