U.S. Justice Department "National Security" Division One More Reason To Feel Safe In Your Prison Cell

       Saturday, 26 October 2013, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The United States Department of "Justice" (DOJ) reportedly after more than five years of prosecuting criminal cases illegally withholding evidence from criminal defendants presumably now languishing in prisons around the Nation along with other rather variously unfortunate casualties of the "War On The U.S Constitution", under what the New York Times rather generously calls a "narrow" reading by DOJ's "National Security" Division (bet that makes readers sleep better knowing along with the rest of the crowd of federal military forces, other armed forces, secret forces, special forces, contract forces, departments, bureaus, agencies, committees and patrols we now may sleep peacefully with our empty wallets at our bedsides or locked up somewhere outside our prison cell knowing that we have even more lawyers in suits than we probably already even knew or suspected) violating the clearly established restraints of the U.S. Constitution in defense of that document from any and all terrorists so that we unequivocally, unflinchingly, unintelligibly may say: "We won. We beat ourselves. Hurrah!"
       What on earth could merit such a run-on sentence overspilling its banks in an unrestrained (being THEIR very least favorite MOST frightening thought) torrent of words in a conspicuously unbalanced paragraph fairly (or not) screaming to be CONTAINED! Well dear readers basically that would be the not altogether appealing idea of explaining all this. And why we the editorial board of the Ninth Amendment believe the New York Times in this case let DOJ off far too easily our interpretation being that the entire premise of the article to which the link below will lead is flawed to the extent the disclosure of this heinous behavior is any sort of reasoned "policy decision". We agree vigorously with Amnesty International that what we have here is a pure and simple case of DOJ flaunting its sacred obligation to the promotion of justice but rather with its malfeasance for more than five years breaking the law illegally trying yet more of our population and only coming clean (doubtful) now for no better reason than it was CAUGHT IN A LIE TO THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, and if the Solicitor General cannot do the time, he should not have done the crime. As they say. You decide.

BREAKING - FDA Finally Caves To Drug Enforcement Agency Latest Policy Disaster Scheme To OK Top Medical Criminal Tier For Vicodin, Lortab Hydrocodone Painkillers

       Friday, 25 October 2013, WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a probable major victory for the DEA in its relentless "battle" to stay alive and ever expand in a nearly 40-year-long ceaselessly losing "war" of its own creation former drug-dealing President Barack Obama's FDA has given the "bombs away" signal for moving long-term painkillers brand names like Vicodin, Lortab (hydrocodone plus totally unnecessary amounts of acetominophen at DEA urging to insure destruction of as many living human livers as possible - a la paraquat, or aspirin) up to the highest tier of prescription medications along with morphine, oxycontin and amphetamines as soon as early next year.
       The DEA as usual follows in the footsteps of its predecessor Federal Bureau of Narcotics infamous for its Chief Harry Angslinger amongst other things (despite not being a doctor last we heard) awarding a lifetime prescription of morphine to former American Congressional hero Senator Joseph McCarthy conveniently refillable at will at the nearest Capitol Hill Pharmacy. If its latest ill-conceived  policy foray is enacted the DEA may have a chance at one-upping its relatively recent drugdealing fed rivals at the CIA ("birth of crack cocaine") outfit, although Afghanistan may present some intriguing opportunities for both drug-dealing agencies. Singer-songwriter Elvis Presley was named an official "special" drug-fighting agent just to demonstrate how seriously the former President Nixon took his completely insincere cynically announced "War on Drugs". Nixon awarded an official badge at the White House for Presley's drug-fighting efforts. Presley later died on the toilet during a drug overdose.

F.D.A. Seeks Tighter Control on Prescriptions for Class of Painkillers
The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday recommended tighter controls on how doctors prescribe the most commonly used narcotic painkillers.
The move, which represents a major policy shift, follows a decade-long debate over whether the widely abused drugs, which contain the narcotic hydrocodone, should be controlled as tightly as more powerful painkillers such as OxyContin.
The drugs at issue contain a combination of hydrocodone and an over-the-counter painkiller like acetaminophen or aspirin and are sold either as generics or under brand names like Vicodin or Lortab. Doctors use the medications to treat pain from injuries, arthritis, dental extractions and other problems.

Google Users And Developers BEWARE Google Lawyers' Unilateral Rule Changes "Effective" 11 November 2013

       Sunday, 13 October 2013, MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA. - Well we all know that this is the day and this is the age when a very strange thing has occurred with contracts and other areas of law. As best we of the Ninth Amendment Editorial Board recall there were a great many tenets of the law stretching far back to the common law that long predated the TYRANNY OF THE CORPORATIONS SUCH AS GOOGLE. How long must we close our eyes and pretend that we are utterly blind to the fundamental concepts of the great foundations of the once great and now completely eviscerated foundations of the legal system as handed down from the ironclad principles of such things as the English Common Law?
       Was it not any longer ago than our parents' lifetimes that institutions engaging in the practices of our banks, our credit card companies, our insurance companies and all that ilk would be taken out and strung up for the practices they have come to embrace with reckless abandon today crushing the ordinary workingperson with unilateral after-the-fact dictates of once-"loans" now become champions of "usury" and all form of injustice from which they no longer are held back by any form of BILATERAL (yes, that is correct, two parties) agreement rather than by one party's "fiat".
       Does anyone remember when a contract was a "meeting of the minds", does anyone remember such quaint concepts as a mutuality of consideration and things such as "terms and conditions" which actually were agreed to by the parties rather than simply ANNOUNCED by one party to the other, well, readers here we go again. . . .
       Now does anyone really know what in the world Google has been up to enslaving over two million families around the world allegedly writing their blogs amidst GREAT TALES OF RICHES while how rarely is it that we ever see them actually come to fruition except of course Google's latest joint schemes with the CIA to do what we do not know? Well readers we have been at this Ninth Amendment log some time now and there must be a leak somewhere in our piggy bank. That is all we can imagine as we have yet to receive even our first advertising pay?
       Well be warned Google if these young (yes of course 18+) children can make theirs and their families' fortunes we have decided that we too now shall read up and try to make sense of every bit of this endless series of Google pages that always to point both ways at the bottom (ever seen that one before?) yet never seem to come to any conclusion which yields any more MONEY for the faithful. Google cannot just be in the business of making 2 million families rich, can it? No thank you we do not want anymore "followers" and "+1ers" nor "circles of Google friends", we are going to figure this out once and for all and demand some accounting of exactly in what amounts and to whom and for how long those first checks and long since direct deposits started to flow. We are owed an accounting are we not? Perhaps a FOIA to the right-placed federal agencies?
       We do come carrying some news of WARNING, HOWEVER, GOOGLERS!  You have been warned if you weed carefully through the endlessly back circling computer text screens so start reading up ahead of next month. Yes come 11 November 2013 or on or about same day thereabouts the UNILATERAL GOOGLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE CHANGING ONCE AGAIN.
       YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. READ IT IN ADVANCE, AND JUST TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT, OR ASK YOUR LAWYER IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIED UP IN IT. ASSUME IT IS NOT IN YOUR BEST INTEREST. NOW, EVERYONE, ALL TOGETHER NOW, LET US MAKE SOME MONEY AT THIS THING. GO, GO, GO, EVEN IF YOU NEED WRITE 500 BLOGS EACH WITH 499 FULL OF GOOGLE-SANCTIONED "ADULT MATERIAL".
       As best we can tell you do not need to tell anyone your real name, your real anything, except maybe the tax man, except for now your "Circle of Friends" can "repay the favor" according to Google and repay all the writing you have done with some recommendations where they send on your work to be re-advertised, re-monetized, re-Bloggerized in its entirety.
       Remember that date November 11, 2003, and try to figure out exactly what it is they are up to right to THIS TIME now what have have they planned right that very minute? Roll out the Blogs, Google we are ready for our share of that cash and so much for your "contracts" your "terms and conditions" that are neither but dunenforceable unilateral breaches of contract. Show us the money!
       Now we are no practicing lawyers but we bet that Google has a few lawyers themselves who might explain (to Google in any case) why is it that Google NEEDS TO CHANGE UNILATERALLY THOSE "TERMS" AND "CONDITIONS" such that Google can take and adapt the Google's developers' (that is right, "us", we their friends) "intellectual property" developed for challenges but only for things such as Google's "business purposes" but otherwise "totally" respect our "intellectual property" rights oh yes, yes, really indeed to our ideas.
      Funny we did not see any such language going the other way? Nothing about us being able to make fair and necessary use of Google's "intellectual property". Oh, no, no, quite the opposite. After all we "developers" are not their "employees", we certainly have not been afforded those kinds of rights and assurances of employees have we? No reason Google should have acquired any rights to any intellectual property we might develop on OUR OWN TIME or why WE SHOULD NOT SUE GOOGLE should it mistakenly ascertain that after it it really did need "OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY" to further Google's "BUSINESS PURPOSES".
     Any chance Google might actually write these things down say ON PAPER and STAPLE and COLLATE them in order? So much easier to try and make sense of one's terms and conditions if they are not presented to one in what appear to be home-made movies made by virtual children whom one is not even sure work for Google or, alas, do not?
     Oh we can be so picky! Any chance Google might actually have its lawyers prepare say just a little itsy-bitsy statement that some people might wish actually to have their own lawyers look over all this material presented in such a DECEPTIVELY OFF-HAND WAY? Just a guess. Sometimes we scare ourselves we seem to make so much more sense than the ones who are paid so much NOT to get GOOGLE SUED? Finally while we are at it the "Terms and Conditions" do seem to anticipate at least the possibility of less than total harmony, their close making clear (unilaterally of course) that should their be any little disagreement that "Calfiornia Law Shall Govern". Only that is "As to choice of law provisions".
       Any of you twenty-year-old developers happen to have a clue what that might be about? Well, just going out on a limb, let us just guess that Google believes the laws of the Great State of California can be expected to bring a FAVORABLE outcome in any dispute against Google, which after all pays about half the State's budget, does it not? However, in the rare case where Google might not be expected to win , such as to the children's work laws which instead look favorable in say the Great Nation of Tibet, in that case might it not be prudent to have the Googlers pack up their suits and in that one special-circumstance case make at least just that one long flight over to Tibet, give the others a break on that airfare just that once? Sometimes it is just so hard to make sense of what really are one's best ime/tions

Shutdown Is Nothing Less Than EXTORTION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.....And Could Result In GLOBAL RAMIFICATIONS

    Sunday, October 13, 2013 Orlando, Florida    1 + 1 = 2;  2 + 2 = 4;  3 + 3 = 6!!!  It is that simple. Shutdown + Economy = DISASTER.  It is so discouraging to have to witness this unbelievable Government Shutdown.  I, Little L can't tell you how many times I have had to Accept and Live with the will of the ALMIGHTY VOTE.  The people have spoken. The vote has been counted and OBAMACARE won.  This Shutdown is unnecessary.  This Shutdown is a result of Extortion, Extortion of the American People.  I for one am FURIOUS.  Ted Cruz (R) Senator from Texas, please Cruz on down the road..... I wish this Yahoooooo would Cruz on down the road. Go have a cup of tea and leave the Country to people who know how to Govern.  As if TEXAS didn't have enough to be sick about, now they have another disgrace to deal with and his name is TED CRUZ. Please Cruz on down the road TED. I know, I know Ted can not be blamed for all our problems, but he sure has asked for all the credit! I will never read "Green Eggs and Ham" again.....
     Parents from the start teach their children to follow the rules.  They tell their children that rules should be followed and that if they do not like a rule they work to have the rules changed through the appropriate channels.  Parents do not tell their children to break the rules, or to ignore the rules.  Parents also teach their children to respect the vote, they teach their children that voting is a privilege not a given, and that the vote is to be respected.  I have many friends and relatives who do not share my political beliefs.  I respect each and every one of them.
      I respect their right to have their opinion and their vote.  That is what makes this Nation of ours great.  The Government Shutdown is causing unnecessary hardship for American Citizens.  It does not discriminate, all classes, races, and ages are being affected.  I can't even enjoy TEA anymore, because it reminds me of the OBNOXIOUS TEA PARTY.  Power and Money, that is what this whole mess is about in my opinion.
     We the people, need to stand up and contact our public servants and express our complete dissatisfaction with what we see as a complete collapse of Good Judgement and Will of the Majority. You can find out who your Elected Government Officials are by going to www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml .  Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of this great Nation we call the United States of America.  It does not matter to me if you are a Democrat or a Republican, now is the time to show up and speak up, before irrefutable damage is done.
     If this Great Nation the USA defaults and does not pay our debts we are guaranteed to have a negative outcome.  We are the LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD.  We are being viewed as a bunch of children throwing a tantrum.  A true Brat among Nations.  Enough Already!!!!

CREDO Phone Service Save Money Get Your Full Cash Credit Switch Back From ATT And Verizon Contract Hell, Plus Stop Readers' Payments Funding Senator Superstupid Ted Cruz "Tea Party" Titantic Plus All Giant ATT And Verizon Giveaways

       Friday, 4 Octobeer 2013, WASHINGTON, D.C. -  Superstupid Senator Ted Cruz (R- Texas, surprise, surprise)  what more perfect de facto voice of that awesome phenomenon in the United States come to be known as the "Tea Party". The name evokes richly textured small-town communities of mostly more mature thoughtful women discussing topics in knitting circles with others they may have known for decades, not to mention of course the seminal American historical Revolutionary event which started the United States on its long and hard-fought road to independence.
       Only fitting that Cruzian "Tea Partiers" of today distort that essential foundation of our Nation's history to debase it to a series of meaningless noisemaker events worthy of nothing more than the decimation of a collapsing country. Only this country to be rendered once again into the Republicans' timelessly failed recipe for repeated homeland economic disasters a la "Apocalypse Now", copyright the Doors, is our own fault.
       As usual the big-slime corporate donors want readers wrongly to believe "they are helpless" but to keep dumping money in the coffers of social pariahs like ATT and Verizon busy using confused callers perpetually extending "contract fees" (i.e. their latest consumer ripoffs) vying for those coveted front tables at the latest iteration of their "Tea Party" luncheon where they can sit just feet (oh boy!) from the Superstupid Tea Partier Supreme (yesterday dragged from the House of Reprsentatives because he did not know which house of Congress to which he belonged blabbing his phony filibuster). Sentaor Cruz may have his no doubt gathering henchman explain to him who is giving what so that it is easier to keep it straight on "payback" day, which in the Republican spirit unabashedly was cemented by former movie star and poster child for the disadvantaged Ronald Reagan.
       As best we recall before his Presidential inauguration speech had even begun Reagan's staff already had started working the front rows assuring luminaries such as then Searle President ("Pigheart") Cheney that that pesky aspartame ruling (causes brain cancer, does not everything?) would be reversed as soon as "Big Ron" could be taught to sign (no, NOT PRINT) his name to the orders to the FDA Administrator. No need to wait even until the Administrator could be replaced with someone more "enlightened", or should we say "encumbered" with the famous Cheney signature pallets of crisp new stacks of $100 bills straight from the mint press to the helipad do NOT pass time-consuming bill serial number recording.
       Speaking of brain cancer why not FINALLY ALREADY turn our attention back to today and the selfless generosity of ATT and Verizon wireless extended to the "Tea Party" morons and most of all their self-styled brainless leader Senator Ted Cruz, hear the tea spoons clanking around in his empty noggin?). The link below will help fill in those "interested" (or shall we just say "thoroughly nauseated" readers) with fascinating key participation of these well-practiced sleight-of-contract cellphone grifters ATT and Verizon whom we might thank our lucky stars do not get in the automobile sales, leasing and repair business (as far as we know, that is) were we not reasonably confident that they left no stone unturned getting a hand in EVERYONE's pocket except maybe in those countries which do not yet have pockets.
       The reported facts are presented in the CREDO cellular service advertisement set out below but are worthy of brief empahsis here. CREDO by the way is the modern-day mobile iteration of Working Assets which was the pioneer in social activism amongst long-distance landline carriers which monthly let its callers make free long-distance telephone calls directly to provided direct-dial numbers of callers representatives in Washington.

We have never spoken or communicated in any way with any such entity when we have made recommendations solely on the basis of our own observations and opinions.

Senator Ted Cruz is the ringleader of the current government shutdown—taking millions of Americans hostage in an attempt to thwart the will of voters in the 2012 election by defunding or delaying Obamacare. He even sought to thwart the will of his fellow senators by staging a rambling 21-hour faux-filibuster when he couldn't get enough colleagues to join a real filibuster.

Get 25% off your monthly data plan fee for two years*
Thanks to the shutdown, more than 2 million federal workers won't get paid on time—and 800,000 furloughed employees may never get paid for the shutdown period. The CDC has halted its flu program, just as flu season kicks into gear. National parks have closed, which is expected to cause the communities around them to lose an estimated $30 million a day.

If the shutdown lasts more than a few weeks, millions of veterans may not get their disability claims or pension payments, and low-income pregnant women and new moms may stop getting the help they need to buy healthy food for their families.

And who helped Mr. Cruz go to Washington? Verizon Wireless and AT&T. Both telecom giants contributed thousands of dollars to his 2012 Senate campaign.

On top of that, Verizon has contributed $220,600 and AT&T a whopping $1,093,000 since 2009 to members of the House and Senate Tea Party Caucuses, who have pushed Republicans in Congress to hostage-taking extremism.

At CREDO, we don't fund radical right politicians like Ted Cruz—we fight them. We fight through our powerhouse network of 3 million activists at CREDO Action. Over the past week, we rallied more than 13,000 of our activists to call Republicans and demand that they vote against the shutdown. And another 9,000 called Democrats, urging them not to cave to outrageous Republican demands.

We also donate millions of dollars each year to nonprofit groups working for progressive change. Since 1985, we've raised $75 million for groups like Planned Parenthood, Democracy Now! and 350.org.

The more members we have, the harder we can fight back against extremists like Ted Cruz.

Join the fight. Make the switch to CREDO Mobile by October 11, and get everything you expect from a mobile phone company—and a whole lot more:*
  • 25% off your monthly data plan fee for two years
  • A contract buyout credit up to $350

BREAKING NEWS MANHATTAN: U.S. Drone Reportedly Crashes In Manhattan (After Government Gas Runs Out) Picked Up By Curious Bystander Who Examines Photocard

       Thursday, 3 October 2013, MANHATTAN- CBS Television News reported that just over SEVENTEEN HOURS AGO, when mostly freshman United States Representatives and their idiot House loser leader Boehner along with lost Senate Republican freshman prodigy Ted Cruz (no known relation to the actor) cut of the money for all Americans' headwear just as flu season started, cut off the temporary funds to keep the government afloat with temporary money, and forced the entire United States to stop work and defer paying millions of its Federal employees sending most of them home with no pay for the coming weeks. The Congress is not believed to have chosen to do the same to itself. Meanwhile as we prepared for press reports began coming in from CBS-TV news in New York that a (nonexistent) drone has crashed on a busy street (are they not all) in Manhattan? No government gas.
       Except the really important adolescents who work for the National Security Agencies and those who pack lox lunches and dinners for the generally heavier old Republicans before they go home and pat themselves on the back, Senator Cruz reportedly was either delirious or under the influence of borderline "brain death". Not unlike his beloved protege lame duck Texas "Village Idiot" Rick "Payback" Perry had been at the now infamous Republican nationally televised "Perry brain freeze". Whatever the case Cruz is a Senator with high hopes in the Republican party for carrying the mantle of the "Tea Party Republicans" boldly into the fully forseeable budget disaster which awaits us all.
       Although frugal California Governor Jerry Brown has not ever even been known to set foot in his "California" limo or mothballed "mansion", Texas Brain Duck Governor George "little shrub" Perry could be seen to once again shed a crocodile tear as Bush gleefully loaded his laser-sighted six shooter with some extra bullets in his mouth for good luck. "Better bullets than bandaids" the really extremely  short Perry reportedly quipped as he accidentally clipped a tree beside his beloved Labrador and sent his bodyguards diving for cover from his errant bullets which could have bought vaccine for a whole clinic.
       As reported here some weeks ago the relatively tiny and shrinking number of Texas "Tea Party" dupes see Perry idiot protege Senator Steve Cruz as the flag bearer of the "Tea Party" mantle that confused ignorant hope for salvation, having squandered earlier money on nonexistent coyote problems and boldly living out the fantasy of the "Tea Party King". (Some of those American Republicans sure do like Kings, like George of England.) They know on which side their toast is dusted.
       So Senator Cruz finally last night had to be physically escorted from the House of Representatives reminded that he is a big Senator now but NOT also a Congressional Republican Representative who does NOT get to vote twice to dump our Nation's living and eating money as might have been expected by this latest disastrous Republican financial "hero of ruin".
       And just the most recent Republican to take the Country down the sewer drain amidst fear, stupidity and recrimination. The most memorable last financial disaster of a sick fear-mongering Republican, well that would of course be just another long-time dope addict's run taking the Country along on the road to financial ruin was Republican star Senator McCarthy. As Cruz quivered wondering what next Mengelian medical research hare-brained scheme Republicans (many of whom are too stupid to marticulate from an accredited United States Law School and in any case not be able to succeed on their medical boards without a good deal of  grease-fillled Republican hand-squeezing).
      At least Senator Cruz can take comfort that he is not the only one in over his had as clearly now after his SECOND totally failed chance to divert further compounding of Republican-created disasters in a totally bad faith disingenuous last minute call unbelievably AGAIN to meet with President Obama TWENTY MINUTES before they lock up the government BOEHNER a COUPLE YEARS LATER STILL WANTS TO BE PLAYING with dredging up decades of yet more new dead old issues in a desperate attempt to run down the clock. The United States does not just have to close up the public restroom here and say, phew! that was a close one.
       And they even try to make the Republicans look like someone's heroes? Who their mothers? Do the Republicans WHO CAN ALWAYS SEE THE DOCTOR WHENEVER THEY WANT really believe that for making sure that the Americans' long ago duly fully legally passed universal health care is further diverted while these Speaker Boehner and fellow turkey Republicans play cock-a-doodle-doo with the real hard-working Americns' need for life and death health care now is going to make them some kind of heroes for thinking up stupid old lies as fast they can to kill off the people who voted for them?
       Now that is over how about a litttle time to go out and get a little cash in the palms, eh eh? Heck, their voters can wait all day in the emergency room for basic medical care (paid for by the State not the Feds mind you readers) for a while longer just like always (and probably catch something far worse while they are waiting in that germ pit.)
       No dice for the hot shot Republicans until after they have gone round and gotten paid off by all their insurance company pals and the people THOSE REPUBLICANS REALLY REPRESENT. We know they will be going to see their doctors in the morning, getting paid their Congressional salaries and honorariums and a little of this and a little of that just a small gift oh just fine, and sitting down for a nice steak dinner for lunch before they go to sleep with a job well -- NOT done. But just that one last thing must be sure to collect the dues BEFORE the pressure is off, right?  Oh yes indeed it is business as usual in the Grand Old Party, just do not get stomped on (or worse) by that big old elephant. . . . . Because we will sure want to see you still when we need next need you.

Please "Like" N.S.A. To Facilitate Use Of Americans' "Mainway" Metadata To Monitor Your Phone, E-Mail, GPS, Family, Friends, Lovers, Acquaintances, Social Network Relationships

       Monday, 30 September 2013, THE TOWER OF LONDON - "Power Corrupts. Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely." What on God's Earth could Lord Acton have meant by those convoluted words so confusing to the ordinary cryptographer as to surely have meant nothing at all? No doubt His Lordship uttered them just as thoughtlessly as the Founding Fathers entirely consistent with their otherwise tediously nonchalant drafting of the United States Constitution included the Ninth Amendment when they circulated it to the several states as one of the original Twelve two of which must have been really bad as the States could not even stomach that balderdash and had to trim the whole lot down to the Ten renumbered and come to be known as the "Bill of Rights" (or to today's three branches of Government the "Invoice of Suggestions".)
       Yea! did the Founding Fathers furthermore that fateful summer in addition to verily vestigial verbiage plunked elsewhere in the Preamble and Body of the Constitution's text lavishly extoll and make use of their many lustrous and other select arsenal of ponderous words for no reason at all other than to waste their time, breath, energy and to avoid having to go back a moment too soon to their families, whom in any case the N.S.A. had it fully metastasized could have been keeping an eye on them making sure lest they leave anything out of their letters or their (beta) Facebook entries.
       We might admit it appeared ever so slightly challenging to this Ninth Amendment editorial board for a while to predict the who and when until having done nothing to stop it came the next wave of perpetration of widespread U.S. Government overreaching, abuses of powers and outright violations of long-established laws as soon as those misdeeds became technologically feasible and "cost-effective" in that special "national security" sense of the term. That is any cost is effective and every security is national.
       Now despite N.S.A. General Keith Alexander's assurances of facile necessity like technology run amok with hackers the breaches of our liberties have rumbled exponentially close behind with the government hacking at the heels of our private lives at 20 million hits of metadata an hour. Turns out we really do not need to know exactly what you were doing on the telephone with the ACLU two hours a week, because we have a pretty good idea, and especially after the N.S.A. Hearing (oh, that is us!) then they spoke with the Center for Constitutional Rights for just another hour (told you those CCRS were always even a wee bit sneakier, a wee bit craftier). And zoom in on that wall at the Facebook birthday party video at their National Offices would you? 25X magnification, 17 filters, and, oh, hand over the night vision goggles while the candles are burning, just make out that "Master Litigation Chart" as if with the naked eye right there, eh?
