Is Obama Starting A War With Syria Just To Distract Us From All The Scandals?

At the moment when the Obama administration is feeling more heat then ever before, it starts another war. Suddenly everyone in the mainstream media is talking all about Syria and not about the IRS scandal, Benghazi, NSA snooping or any of the other political scandals that have popped up in recent weeks.

Permanent Washington?s backlash to Edward Snowden

In These Times
by David Sirota

06/14/13

Whether in celebrity culture or in our Facebook-mediated interactions, we live in the age of the human being as a public brand. So there s nothing surprising about the reaction to this week s disclosures about the National Security Agency s unprecedented surveillance program. In our cult-of-personality society, that reaction has been predictably, and unfortunately, focused less on the agency s possible crimes against the entire country than on Edward Snowden, the government contractor who disclosed the wrongdoing. Almost universally, the government officials, pundits and reporters who comprise Permanent Washington have derided Snowden...

The Stalinization of Amerika

Independent Institute
by Mary Theroux

06/17/13

In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, rather than hold accountable and roll the heads of the bunglers at the U.S. intelligence agencies who failed to follow up on multiple reports of possible terrorist activity.... Intelligence agencies were instead granted the expanded budgets and power that are always sought in the aftermath of a crisis. They were forced to abandon the nifty name and logo they had come up with (pictured at right, above) when it?s too-graphic, Big Brother-isc depiction elicited protest, but the spirit was fully retained, and a new era of unprecedented, total and widespread spying on innocent Americans began...

If you are reading this, the federal government probably already knows it. Sure, that s being sarcastic...but not really. The Washington Post first revealed that the National Security Agency (NSA) and the FBI are 'tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. internet companies, extracting audio, video, photographs, emails, documents and connection logs that enable analysts to track a person s movements and contacts over time' through a secret program called PRISM, which dates back to 2007. The NSA s eavesdropping on innocent civilians joins a number of 4th Amendment violations in the U.S. that have surfaced in recent months...

The NSA scandal violates the lessons of our history and our constitution

Reason
by Andrew P. Napolitano

06/13/13

The government says we should trust it. Who in his right mind would do so after this? President Obama says the feds have your phone records but are not listening to your calls and will not read your emails. Who would believe him? James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, testified that the feds were not gathering vast data on Americans. Who would trust him? The NSA says that Congress knew about all this, but its members were prohibited from telling the American people. What kind of a democracy is that?

Sorry, Mr. Obama, the Constitution is not negotiable

Fox News Forum
by US Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)

06/12/13

In the United States, we are supposed to have a government that is limited with its parameters established by our Constitution. This notion that the federal government can monitor everyone s phone data is a major departure from how Americans have traditionally viewed the role of government. If this is acceptable practice, as the White House and many in both parties now say it is, then there are literally no constitutional protections that can be guaranteed anymore to citizens...

Covering up indiscriminate killing

Come Home America
by Darryl W. Perry

06/12/13

All in all, Manning s crime is that he is a whistle-blower of government war-crimes. Knowing that war-crimes have been committed, and that members of the military were killing civilians, at times doing so intentionally, it should come as no surprise that the CIA did not always know who it was targeting and killing in drone strikes.

Chemiewaffenpropaganda: Obama überschreitet rote Linie

14. Juni 2013

''Die USA tun es wieder. 2003 wurde der Irak-Krieg mit einer Biowaffenlüge begonnen. Jetzt konstruiert Obama sich seinen Kriegsgrund für Syrien. Die Beweislage ist ganz, ganz dünn. Vor allem gibt es keinen Beweis dafür, dass ein möglicher Einsatz von Chemiewaffen von Assads Seite durchgeführt wurde'', kommentiert Jan van Aken, stellvertretender Vorsitzender der LINKEN und außenpolitischer Sprecher der Linksfraktion im Bundestag die jüngsten Aussagen der US-Regierung, dass Assad Chemiewaffen in Syrien eingesetzt habe.

Van Aken weiter: ''Selbst wenn tatsächlich Giftgas in Syrien eingesetzt wurde, bleibt völlig offen, wer es eingesetzt hat. Die Behauptung, nur Assad kontrolliere diese Waffen, ist sehr weit hergeholt. Seit der Warnung Obamas von der ''roten Linie'' müssen wir doch damit rechnen, dass Rebellen alles daran setzen, einen Chemiewaffenangriff vorzutäuschen oder gar selbst auszulösen, um damit einen Kriegseintritt der USA zu provozieren. Deshalb ist es richtig, dass die Syrien-Kommission der UNO immer darauf hinweist, dass es nicht möglich sei, die Täter festzustellen. Es spricht einiges dagegen, dass die Chemiewaffen, so sie denn tatsächlich zum Einsatz gekommen sind, von Assads Regierungstruppen eingesetzt wurden. Militärisch macht der Einsatz von kleinsten Mengen Giftgas punktuell an einem Ort überhaupt gar keinen Sinn. Einzelne Giftgranaten bringen taktisch in einem Gefecht kaum messbare Vorteile, während sie strategisch mit dem großen Risiko behaftet ist, dass die USA militärisch angreifen. Ein Einsatz einzelner Chemiegranaten durch die Assad-Truppen wäre deshalb im höchsten Maße irrational.''

The NSA and the infrastructure of the Surveillance State

CounterPunch
by Eric Draitser

[T]he political landscape in the United States has so thoroughly devolved that elected officials are more concerned about stopping the whistleblowers and leakers, than about addressing America s continued descent into a fascist police state. Despite all of this, Americans continue to be told that this is the 'sweet land of liberty.' We may be able to buy Nike sneakers and flat screen TVs, but that s not liberty. We may be able to tweet with our iPhones and download our favorite movies, but that s not liberty either. Rather, as George Orwell famously wrote, 'If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear'''...

As the news reports poured in, and as sales of 1984 surged by an astonishing 6,884 percent, a friend asked me whether the PRISM story strikes me as more Orwellian or more Kafkaesque...

Debt ceiling deal: DC wins, Americans lose

US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) Campaign For Liberty

10/21/13

Washington, DC, Wall Street, and central bankers around the world rejoiced this week as Congress came to an agreement to end the government shutdown and lift the debt ceiling. The latest spending-and-debt deal was negotiated by Congressional leaders behind closed doors, and was rushed through Congress before most members had time to read it. Now that the bill is passed, we can see that it is a victory for the political class and special interests, but a defeat for the American people...
