UPDATE2 Google Criminal CIA Partner Conspires In Illegal Preview Of Draft Blog Content, Unlawful Prior Restraint And Reader Access Denial Of Anti-War, "Explicit", "Intelligence" Content Of U.S. Government Agency Disclosures Of Crimes, Harassment Extends To U.S. Pathetic Removal Of Liar NSA Menace Symbol And Dr. Hunter S. Thompson Honor Tribute In 10th Year Since Death

     Tuesday, 30 June 2015. MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - Google which is a joint venture partner of the CIA as well as being partly owned by the CIA through acknowledged and unacknowledged front companies of late again has been limiting readers access to the Ninth Amendment through acts of obstruction of readers' access perpetrated internally and/or externally by Google itself and/or in complicity and conspiracy with other parties. The efforts of Google to limit readers' access to site content is readily apparent and visible to readers who can see for themselves if they do reach this site that they now only are able to read posts from roughly three days totaling about five posts at the time of this writing pre-publication which do no nearly fill the body of the so-called "landing page" of the Ninth Amendment. As recently as just past months readers might recall finding a full ten to fifteen posts published on this first page. [UPDATE 2] It further has become provably apparent that Google illegally reviews and unlawfully allows certain as yet unidentified other parties to review draft blog post "preview" working drafts under consideration for internal purposes only which have not been published by the Ninth Amendment therefore effectively spying on it violating privacy and other rights of publisher without reservation and without waiving any right whatsoever to take any action deemed appropriate without limitation.
      [UPDATE]  In the longtime spirit of letting no abuse go unrecognized no matter how tedious nor juvenile the editorial board of the Ninth Amendment wishes to call to readers' attention the fact that the N.S.A. logo honoring the dedicated work of that fine despicable agency and its dedicated tech nerds who presumably could not become drone "pilots" either having left the N.S.A. to again become legitimate hackers or gone too rotten presumably due to incompetence or brain damage which long has graced the right margin of this landing page mysteriously in recent weeks has disappeared completely without a trace not as a result of any intentional action of this publication coincidentally at the same time that a list of live 24/7 newslinks at the bottom portion of this landing page with the recent addition of a website which rapidly reports and adds each new N.S.A. abuse also has disappeared totally without a trace including all other links along with it doubtless to throw off the trail of any suspicion as to the N.S.A. Never have we been so outraged as since after a years-long series of posts chronicling the criminal moronic mean-spirited actions of bought and paid for indicted Liar Idiot Texas Former Governor Rick "Payback" Perry re-candidate brain dead still standing for President of the United States within hours of his profoundly sad announcement that he would not burden the great Lone Star state with yet another attempt at its governorship the private email account mailboxes of the editors of this publication suddenly were found to be filled with all manner of amusing "confessions" by the editors of this publication to a rich variety of persons and institutions with whom we were apparently believed to have relationships capable of further souring of misdeeds never committed as well as just oblique enough threats referencing potential dangers to children of those known and loved by us.
     But certainly the most savage and vicious act in this most recent depraved hackattack was the removal from the Ninth Amendment of the dedication at the foot of this publication to Dr. Hunter S. Thompson who died 10 years ago in 2005. It is replaced here by the words of his widow Anita in a recent audio Colorado Public Radio interview in which she still lives in the couple's home at Owl Farm in Woody Creek, Colorado but has left all of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's work areas untouched for ten years as a private museum for which she is scheduling visitors starting in August 2015. https://www.cpr.org/news/story/hunter-s-thompsons-widow-anita-talks-about-gonzo-legacy-and-museum
     We make it clear that the apparent gross curtailments of posts being presented on the "landing page" come with the publisher of the Ninth Amendment having taken no action on its own to so limit these posts but rather using the controls supplied by Google to attempt without success to remedy what is effectively censorship. Attempts to contact Google repeatedly by the publisher have gone unheeded with no response nor change again filling the "landing page" with what in the publisher's opinion are an appropriate number of posts as formerly appeared.
     Google is being subjected widely to massive enforcement actions throughout Europe including for several issues related to claimed market dominance by European regulators of up to 90% there although Google long here in the United States has had a free hand to do virtually as Google pleases largely due to the lassitude of the Department of Justice in enforcing this country's anti-trust laws being left to the whims of private attorneys to try to protect the rights of consumers as well as Google's long-term acknowledged partnership with the CIA including in the mapping of the earth known wherever possible to encompass the private curtilage and grounds of people's homes (just like their private images and information in Google search engine results) of course without anyone's permission to do so.
     Now Google is demonstrating the dangers that occur from letting one company have so much power. Here the Ninth Amendment notes that it is essentially powerless remaining at this web address to fight censorship in its longtime publication with Blogger. As is not uncommon with companies grown into "market monsters" now that Google is in control of a vast portion of the market it has gone from a company which grew large on the pretext of being open to all with minimal limitation Google recently announced that it would remove sites with "explicit" content which it always previously had allowed.
     As for the Ninth Amendment which often has posts investigating and reporting on abuses particularly in Executive Branch agencies such as the CIA unpunished for torture and the NSA unpunished for vast Constitutional violations as well as all levels and agencies purportedly engaged in "law enforcement" it finds itself with its public content which is most accessible to readers on the first "landing page" now to be sharply limited. If the Ninth Amendment publishes a new post it finds at the bottom of the landing page that it loses another current post not yet ready to be relegated to the realm of the "previous" posts.
     The Ninth Amendment entire editorial board decided to publish this post despite the content it expects to lose at the bottom of its "landing page" relegated to a "previous" page unless Google would relent from its illegal censorship practices constituting among things civil rights violations and if done in complicity with a U.S. government agency also without limitation constitutional violations most obviously of First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and of the press. Needless to say and plainly to see that has not occurred as Google given the opportunity has remedied nothing but continues in its illegal and repugnant practices.
     The decision of the editorial board to bring these matters to the public's attention became final upon preliminary research showing that Google in part through its "Adsense" program has for some time been using that program and other pressure to prevent Blogger publishers from publishing anti-war content as is made unambiguous in the link below. The link is to a Blogger publisher's post including an exchange with the publisher in which Google itself clearly acknowledges Google's censorship apparently also extending to Google's insistence on pre-approval of content.
     To those familiar with First Amendment law such advance power to review and reject another's speech and publication is a most dangerous type of censorship called "prior restraint" as it prevents a publisher from publishing material specified by the censor before any member of the public may assess it which of all censorship is found to be most repugnant to the courts as when the U.S. Supreme Court permitted the continued publication without pre-review of the "Pentagon Papers". If the Supreme Court allowed that with the continuing release by the press of the contents of supposedly "secret" papers concerning an ongoing military "conflict" one would think Google could let its publishers do as they wish per Google's contractual, statutory and other legal duties without limitation especially as it does so from the vantage of being a CIA government-affiliated agency implicating constitutional rights directly also likely in violation of a multitude of anti-trust laws that in the United States have long given Google unfettered unfair market advantage for which all others will pay either now or later.

EDIT: CIA Torture Sites Photos "Classified" Of Black Sites Inside And Out Military Prosecutors Find In Massive Cache Prove CIA, Foreign High Officials And "Torture Psychologists" On-Site Culpability, CIA Human Rights War Crimes Torture Devices Used, All CIA Never Disclosed To Defense Attorneys, Congress, Nor U.S. Public As Obama Still Refuses To Prosecute Torturers

     Sunday, 28 June 2015, WASHINGTON - The endemically criminally conspiring corrupt pathologically lying murderous as yet not prosecuted and thrown if found guilty by a jury of their peers in private Florence Supermax cells CIA guilty of violating easily half the U.S. criminal statutes and international treaties, conventions and laws declined to respond to statements of former and present CIA officials as well as military and civilian lawyers in the below-linked article from the Washington Post revealing that earlier this year military prosecutors became aware of a cache of thousands of CIA photographs which the CIA likely had hidden from the military prosecutors or in any case "made them hard to find".
     Consistent with the CIA's routine criminal culture of illegal behavior the CIA made documentation incriminating to the CIA essentially inaccessible by having in this case first self-selected what CIA torture documents to reveal to Senate investigators and later federal prosecutors as well by segregating them from the CIA's other electronic records and keeping them on electronic drives at a "secret location in Virginia" that the CIA controls. Meanwhile earlier this year the CIA was stopped in time before it was stopped before it could misuse a new federal document "housekeeping" act knowingly wrongfully to dispose of thousands of doubtless incriminating to the CIA documents after having kept them only a brief period totally criminally by federal records standards.
     At the "secret location" the CIA already presumably through its own ineptitude revealed to Senate staff investigators the so-called "Panetta Report" (now kept locked in a Senate office building safe) proving that the materials the CIA made available in an enormous quantity of intentionally scrambled documentation in no coherent order dumped on them to thwart Senate staff investigators to hide the CIA's illegal human rights war crime torture practices. The mess of documents the CIA provided were in any case largely bogus misleading "drafts" and presented a totally fraudulent account of the CIA's miserably failed criminal "'Torture Program" following the horrible 9/11 attacks. At the time the torture program then being "designed" was described by the CIA official formerly responsible for CIA counter-terrorism as a "train wreck waiting to happen" before he then departed the CIA.
    The photos now revealed reportedly document the interior and exterior of so-called CIA "Black Sites" including in Thailand, Afghanistan with its notorious "Salt Pit" torture dungeon, Poland, Romania and Lithuania also including CIA and foreign intelligence officials who now do not wish to be seen fearing "retaliation" for illegally torturing "detainees", as well as the equally inept socio-psychopath so-called "Torture Psychologists" Bruce Jessen and James Mitchell who designed the CIA's "Torture Program". The uncovered illegally hidden CIA photos in addition to photos of prisoners kept naked in transit furthermore include photos of some of the CIA devices used to commit CIA human rights war crimes used to torture them.
     The far-reaching impacts of this revelation on many ongoing Guantanamo Bay as well as other existing and far overdue prosecutions including senior members of the criminal Bush-Cheney administration and its conspiring criminal CIA officials as well as those responsible for directly acting as its actual torturers including those having committed war crimes against humanity have yet to be prosecuted in the United States or abroad is potentially vast but again evidence of heinous actions against humanity simply ignored. To date President Obama permanently destroys his legacy regardless of what else he does having forbidden the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute a single one of these criminal torturers as the whole world waits.
     The photos obviously have been kept classified by the CIA criminals as usual not for valid "national security" reasons but for their own criminal "personal security" reasons to keep evidence of their illegal, brutal and torturous behavior from the U.S. public and the world community for fear of the devastating personal consequences to them for their criminal behavior which they believe they can engage in with impunity. This particularly with the protection of the FISA monkey rubber stamp courts the Founding Fathers never endorsed nor would have tolerated which to date have rubber stamped all illegal Executive Branch unconstitutional activities. They have brought shame upon the United States worldwide consistently condoning criminal actions in secret courts in trash unreleased "opionions". The Founding Fathers doubtless outraged would called upon all free thinking Americans to get out their weapons and secure more having easily found as compelling another American revolution to demolish these Bush-Cheney Administration and CIA criminals whose actions are not only as bad but sickenly worse than the British.
     CIA repeated efforts since before the time of the release of the U.S. Senate Torture report and continuing after its revelations even to the present dishonestly to demonstrate falsely that torture produced any significant reliable information (in any case irrelevant to the commission of torture) demonstrates the continuing well-founded concern of those U.S. former and/or present officials responsible for these barbaric acts that the day inevitably will come when those responsible will be prosecuted at home and/or abroad for all applicable crimes including but not limited to human torture and war crimes against humanity.

Pentagon "Backpack Nuke" Spy Chief Undersecretary Of Defense Michael G. Vickers USD-1 Despite Career Of Failures Highest Civilian Military Intelligence Official "Quietly Retires" Under Obama New Defense Secretary Ashton Carter

     Sunday, 28 June 2015, WASHINGTON - Perhaps but doubtfully intentionally on the internationally recognized day on which Socialism is celebrated worldwide, on Thursday, 1 May 2015 United States Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD-1) chief Michael G. Vickers "quietly retired" from a position that most Americans including New York Times reporters apparently unsurprisingly have no idea is the highest-ranking civilian military intelligence position which oversees the Pentagon's $80 billion largest portion of the United States "intelligence community's" (publicly known) annual spying budget and also manages the nation's largest number of about 180.000 "intelligence people".
     Considering the responsibility of Vickers' position for imposing a major financial burden on the most unfairly heavily burdened taxpaying effectively chronically poverty-stricken portion of the country due to the government's obscenely wastefully unnecessary so-called "defense" spending not to mention the untold numbers of killings Vickers had overseen and ordered worldwide in the American people's name Vickers' reported departure from the Pentagon received very little publicity there with a low-key goodbye and curiously little coverage in the press.
     The New York Times article linked to below reporting Vickers' future plans simply confined itself to relate the uninformative news that Vickers himself provided that he intended to "sleep" claiming often having been woken up during his Pentagon service as Vickers told it on his special apparent "Batman"-type phone (reminiscent of the 1960's telephone drama "Batman" special red phone) presumably to authorize drone strike kills as well as other murders and so on which now allegedly had had its line "cut" along amusingly quaintly as told accidentally with his lined phone and cable service laughably claimed to have "cut him off" from the world as if he relied on technology for Pentagon communications from roughly a century ago.
     The Pentagon apparently had not heard this anecdote as it told the Washington Post at the same time that Vickers future assignments had not been ascertained although with his common drone strike kill experience he may find himself in some future assignment with the seemingly reassigned to disappearance CIA's "the Wolf" aka "Roger" aka "Mike" both of whom regardless of the atrocities for which they may have been responsible at least along with the CIA agent responsible for the "Argo" f*ck yourself mission have been portrayed in feature films although neither is known likewise to have received the "Intelligence" star.
     As to his curious career journey earning him such positions of enormous responsibility including for at least $80 billion of the taxpayers' money Vickers hardly distinguished himself in high school focusing his energy instead on lifting weights while maintaining a "gentleman's" (had he been attending Harvard which he did not) C+ average although a high school teacher oddly inexplicably did introduce him (according to the exceedingly sparse obviously slanted Wikipedia article also linked to below suspiciously seemingly poorly written by a friend) to the "realities of International Relations and the CIA's Secret War in Cambodia."
     The vision of the CIA's illegal activities killing foreigners in their homes overseas in undeclared war in a failed effort to achieve unobtainable objectives apparently resonated with Vickers and allegedly ignited a lifelong interest in Vickers in "International Relations" apparently as used in the loose sense by organizations such as the CIA as assassinating and killing people rather than as might be otherwise recognized in more established academic settings although Vickers would later use his contacts to get into these institutions for which he clearly was academically unfit in his "off years" to falsify a pedigree of "scholarship" much like a Bush might at Yale.
     Somehow being admitted to Pierce College where after being beat out for quarterback by Mark Harmon (later to become the star in the television drama "NCIS" and apparently enjoying a significantly more successful career at least by objective standards than Vickers) Vickers joined the Green Berets where he had the opportunity to prepare for his now "ideal occupation" of being in the C.I.A. Vickers reportedly scored 160 points on the Army's "Intelligence" test whatever that might be being the highest score possible and excelled at "Special Operations" training and hand-to-hand combat with many other similar extraordinary accomplishments apparently attributed to him in Wikipedia by an apparent admirer of equal academic ability given the misuse in this section of the Wikipedia piece of words more commonly confused by elementary school students such as the use of the word "through" for "throw".
     Sometime after this as a Green Beret during Cold War 1.0 Vickers reportedly either "volunteered to parachute" or depending on which version one prefers actually with a team infiltrated the borders of Warsaw Pact countries to place "backpack nukes" in those countries which as described in the Wikepedia article linked to below (there described under "suitcase nukes") were a later generation of portable nuclear weapons first developed by the C.I.A. and placed by Navy SEALS in North Vietnam in the early 1960's although never detonated. Although Vickers seemingly allegedly claimed his team actually "detonated" the weapons brought into Warsaw Pacts countries this seems an extremely unlikely claim as the portable nukes hidden in Warsaw Pact countries' populated or strategic areas might have been magnitudes more powerful than those dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and presumably someone would have noticed the large thermonuclear explosions with WWIII ensuing.
     (Today many do believe that the United States and the Russian Federation may still have powerful portable nuclear devices hidden in one another's countries left over from Cold War 1.0 near population centers as confirmed by one Russian spy defected to the U.S. but never found in the Shenandoah Valley that can be triggered on command of considerably more concern again as the United States and the Russian Federation effectively now have entered Cold War 2.0 with the "Atomic Clock" nearly as close to zero as ever. The portable devices reportedly incidentally also have been developed by the Israelis should this help calm anyone's nerves about global security.)
     What is particularly curious about Vickers' ever-advancing career is that it appears that almost all subsequent major covert military operations in which he participated or commanded in an intelligence capacity eventually proved to be spectacular failures ending in disastrous unforeseen consequences to the United States such as the creation and/or empowerment through funding and weapons supplies in the CIA's wildly expensive "Operation Cyclone" establishing the Taliban and al-Qaeda as obviously major later threats which succeeded in inflicting great harm to the U.S.
     Vickers bad judgment apparently continued after a lengthy sabbatical from "service" to the U.S. which later came to include later colossal failures such as the policies Vickers enthusiastically supported against Iraq now seen as being largely directly responsible for the circumstances allowing for the creation of ISIS incidentally totally unforeseen by Vickers both in his major "think tank" paper with web address below for interested readers as well as his Johns Hopkins' PhD. 1,000 page thesis on the need for aggressive action against Iraq presumably available upon request from that institution.
     In other words not very intelligent "Intelligence" at all with a remarkable inability to foresee the horrible consequences of the mistakes in which he played a leading role regardless of Vickers' alleged "perfect 160" score on his Army "Intelligence" test but seemingly more consistent with his high school C+ average suggesting he might have been better qualified for a less responsible position than the Undersecretary for Defense (USD-1) for which position President Obama unbelievably appointed Vickers after he was brought back into the federal government first for consultation by not-really-elected Cheney lapdog "President" George "litttle shrub" Bush after an apparent self-imposed period of decades of exile following his failures.
     It was during this period of exile that Vickers somehow got his Masters from Wharton followed by what sounds to be his bogus PhD. from Johns Hopkins with the adviser Eliot A. Cohen who sounds as if he should have been a certified lunatic apparently obsessed with the fanatical belief that the U.S. should go to war with Iraq simply because "Iraq had tried to assassinate Bush's father". This view which apparently deeply influenced Vickers in the writing of his 1,000 page PhD. thesis as well as his later "think tank" paper available as noted to interested readers somehow through the web address provided below.
     Vickers apparently after being taken care of at the private think tank was taken back into the federal fold of idiots willing to buy into the the Bush-Cheney obsession with attacking Iraq. Also of course actual cerebral intelligence clearly was not a qualification required for any senior position in the not-really-elected Bush-Cheney administration thus catapulting he new "scholar" Vickers in 2007 to the major Pentagon position of Assistant Undersecretary for Defense serving as adviser to the Secretary of Defense in such matters as "counter-terrorism" and other "operational activities". As mentioned above President Obama unbelievably retained him upon becoming President seemingly inconceivably naming him Undersecretary of Defense (USD-1) replacing James A. Clapper who became the Director of National Intelligence with blanket oversight of all intelligence operations.
     Vickers finally cemented his ineptitude in 2013 when along with the Snowden disclosures of the N.S.A. which he oversaw he appeared before the Armed Services Committee jointly predicting with the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency "future risks" that completely missed the imminent explosive emergence of ISIS. Previous to this Vickers was implicated but ultimately exonerated apparently for leaking information to the producers of the movie "Zero Dark Thirty" over which the CIA essentially required script-review authority over in order to make sure it implied torture was "successful" in the ongoing efforts of Bush-Cheney Administration including top CIA officials to avoid prosecution for war crimes against humanity in return for assisting the producers with the film much as the police chief of Los Angeles had years earlier in requiring pre-review of scripts of the television drama "Dragnet" in exchange for assisting the producers of that show with the use of official Los Angeles Police Department personnel and equipment. Interested readers can find more information on this in the appropriate link below.
     According to the Washington Post article linked to below for interested readers Vickers did state at a recent conference that there was not so much one over-riding security threat to the United States today but rather those caused collectively by Russia, Iran, North Korea, terrorism and cybersecurity risks. There apparently are those who might not agree as referenced in last Saturday night's airing of the HBO program VICE devoted to what has become known due to the growing threat of NATO conflict with Putin's Russian Federation as Cold War 2.0 which as noted is reflected in the least time remaining until nuclear annihilation on the infamous "Atomic Clock" since the time of the Cold War. In any case it looks as if Vickers may be batting close to .999 in wrong predictions perhaps making him a likely candidate for yet another top military security position in the disastrous case of "Latino"  Jeb Bush 2016 should he become the third Bush to seek to destroy the country whether by Presidential win or coup d'etat.
     Readers interested in the above can go to various links provided below for more information with commentary on certain links which appear either incomplete and/or to contain significantly different information from one another.
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_G. Vickers - surprisingly little information on him in Wikipedia considering especially the last position in which he served, as highest ranking civilian, former Green Beret, special forces, CIA, Afghanistan operation Cyclone, Wharton business masters, and Johns Hopkins PhD under Eliot A. Cohen apparent Iraq war fanatic because Iraq tried to "assassinate Bush's father" and notably Vickers PhD adviser.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliot_A._Cohen - Vickers PhD. thesis adviser appears to be an idiot fanatic for war against Iraq since 2001 including because Iraq tried to "assassinate Bush's father". Query how could Obama let Vickers continue in his Bush position then advanced in 2011. His credentials in Afghanistan sound ultimately like a failure and his PhD adviser an idiot for war in Iraq which Vickers later echoed in calling for smaller force as in Afghanistan to win in Iraq after it already clearly was a disastrous war started with lies.

http://www.govexec.com/defense/2015/04/pentagon-intel-chief-retires-citing-no-wrongdoing-zero-dark-thirty-leak/111514/  - Vickers denies on "retiring" allegations of leaking information for "Zero Dark Thirty" re which there are other CIA-prroducer conference calls and meetings re CIA review of script for film. Vikkers admits he missed ISIS threat. Makes clear his future plan is not just to "sleep".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suitcase_nuke - Vikker was Green Beret responsible for placing portable nuclear weapons in Warsaw Pact countries during Cold War 1.0. Were these actually not yet placed as New York Times reports or already placed as indicated in Wikepedia article link internally here.  Claims his Green Beret teams infiltrated Warsaw Pack countries with "backpack nukes" to detonate them.

https://fas.org/irp/congress/2013_hr/022713vickers.pdf -Unclassified report by Vickers and head of DIA in early 2013 complains of "budget cuts" to defense and intelligence while reporting over 100, 000 employees and list current national security risks for Armed Services Committee in open hearing and completely miss coming threat of ISIS with no mention at all of ISIS, its formation or even recognizing a potential for its formation.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2015/03/1c9/mike-vickers-longtime-senior-intelligence-official-and-former-cia-strategist-to-leave-pentagon/ - Vickers spent from 1980s to 2006 out of work perhaps because of involvement with massive buildup of future Taliban and Al-Qaeda funded by CIA and DOD in obsession to drive USSR from Afghanistan in massively long-term failure Operation Cyclone. Vickers later oversaw DIA, NSA and other "intelligence" agencies. His departure follows by just a month the appointment by Obama of new Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter. Obama kept Vickers as a holdover from the Bush Administration.

Edward J. Snowden Villified UK Coordinated Plan By PM David "Wanker" Cameron Security Officials Blatant Manipulative Government Chorus Planted Press "Leak" To Panic British Of "New" Russian And Chinese Non-Existent Cyberthreats Hysteria Adoption Of Yet More Civil Rights Violations By GCHQ Mass Domestic Home Spying Agenda And Government-Wide Home Privacy Invasions Of British People Already Far More Invasive Than N.S.A. In U.S.

     Tuesday, 15 June 2015, LONDON - A coordinated ridiculously obvious effort of various British "security services" and the Home Office in a transparent attempt to terrorize the British people into giving up even more of their civil rights anytime now by means of a coordinated attack of vague completely unsubstantiated doomsday innuendo based on neither any current nor proven incident at all casting the handily "notorious" (to all except most normal persons on the street worldwide) N.S.A. mass surveillance whistle-blower Edward J. Snowden as fall guy followed a blatantly manipulative press "leak" dutifully regurgitated by the Sunday Times. Its hyperbolic blather reproduced here below until cut off alas for our not having a subscription to that newspaper but not before the article belied its own total lack of any factual foundation bereft of evidence of official substantiated reason for concern for any harm to anyone at all.
     The handy but nevertheless true genius of the narrative device of the further vilification of Snowden served well for Cameron officials to express their outrage at little personal risk and as well as provide an enjoyable laughable complement to the opening of this past Sunday's "exclusively" leaked front page article to cast Snowden as some kind of beastly monster who seemingly long has been on intimate terms (and actually in the Sunday Times appears in effectively superimposed photos coyly to be avoiding a kiss on the lips or peck on the cheek from "call me Vlad" Putin) with his globetrotting now dearest of exile hosts Russian President Vladimir Putin no doubt met long ago and known by Snowden and his dog on the streets of Fort Meade, Maryland as Putin of course is known worldwide to be permitted freely to roam the United States shirtless and bareback on his horse befriending Americans young and old alike except in communities where horses are prohibited on public byways or shirts are required in public.
     Following the ghastly news in the "leak" was an ardently repetitive seemingly specific but at the same time factually void mostly identical pair of reasons fed to the selected press with great drama in which government officials to differing degrees intimated or outright lied that the Russian and Chinese were known (not true) to have decrytped documents they had obtained (well, were suspected of obtaining) but known definitively not to contain either names nor identifying information of British spies which documents only had been released to a very select few members of the most highly regarded conscientious members of the U.S. and British press by the "villain" Snowden who had "blood on his hands" and further was called by one official a "traitor" (although apparently not to Great Britain which is not known to have granted him citizenship) and so on which indeterminate event had within the past two years or whenever caused such a serious British security breach that some secret agents had actually been "moved" as in from one place to another.
     This apparently was such a traumatic experience and unfamiliar experience to them that being in a new place without the same contacts and personal support groups and so on that they were intimated to have been at a complete loss as to what to do to make new "friends" so might as well have been or right now might actually be on the dole (not the regular but the special one for government officials between jobs in public service and/or new areas such as "consulting" and "think tanking" for their old chums). It was conceded that wherever they might be none actually were ever at risk for harm except perhaps for theoretical harm had they been which they were not and so on.
     The effort to manufacture danger or damage fed to the press on its face is exposed most succintly as complete garbage by a single short statement from Downing Street (which the article had alleged shared the hysteria of the "security services" and the Home Office) completely negating all of the extreme and violent imagery of impending doom of which security types are are so fond with the simple statement in the concluding paragraph of the section of the "leaked" article below actually truthfully admitting in a simple statement that there was "no evidence of anyone being harmed" thus discrediting the entire idiotic endeavor of all others official and otherwise in the piece to create public hysteria (poor coordination perhaps not so momentous but nearly as unprofessional as for example when JFK's assassination was reported in some detail at Christchurch, New Zealand newsstands before it actually unfolded in Dallas, Texas according to several sources including Oliver Stones' film JFK just provided here as a rambling aside).
     In addition to that limited section of the Sunday Times "exclusive" which the Ninth Amendment was able to peruse before it made the not difficult decision not to purchase a subscription nor find a way around the "paywall" of that newspaper to read the entire article readers further interested below can themselves find the second link below goes directly to the article should they wish to take that route for whatever reason as well as for other interested readers who also or instead may go the first link below to a BBC News UK article reporting on the "exclusive" article offering a somewhat more reasoned analysis including from a security analyst who does in his observations in the article seem not unduly alarmed by the "news".

British spies betrayed to Russians and Chinese

Tom Harper, Richard Kerbaj and Tim Shipman Published: 14 June 2015
Edward Snowden, inset right, has been in Moscow under Vladimir Putin’s protection since 2013

Edward Snowden, inset right, has been in Moscow under Vladimir Putin’s protection since 2013 (Walter Bibikow).
RUSSIA and China have cracked the top-secret cache of files stolen by the fugitive US whistleblower Edward Snowden, forcing MI6 to pull agents out of live operations in hostile countries, according to senior officials in Downing Street, the Home Office and the security services.
Western intelligence agencies say they have been forced into the rescue operations after Moscow gained access to more than 1m classified files held by the former American security contractor, who fled to seek protection from Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, after mounting one of the largest leaks in US history.
Senior government sources confirmed that China had also cracked the encrypted documents, which contain details of secret intelligence techniques and information that could allow British and American spies to be identified.
One senior Home Office official accused Snowden of having “blood on his hands”, although Downing Street said there was “no evidence of anyone being harmed”.

CIA Failed To Prevent 9/11 Attacks Due To Lack Of "Comprehensive Plan" Finds 2005 CIA Investigator General (IG) Report Released Only After CIA Failed To Adapt Resources Use Better To Accomplish Mission But Instead Again Wasted Them To "Delay, Obfuscate And Interfere Especially With Overseers" The Agency Culture Again Seen Here By CIA Relentless I.G. Harassment And Routine "Denials" Of Everything Causing The I.G. 2005 Report That The CIA "Failed To Prevent" 9/11 Attacks Due To Lack Of "A Comprehensive Plan" And CIA Ineptitude To Be Delayed In Public Release Now By Ten Years

     Saturday, 13 June 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - That federal government's official determination that the C.I.A. failed to prevent the 11 September 2001 attacks on the United States due to the C.I.A's ineptitude in lacking any "comprehensive plan" to prevent such attacks finally this past week has been formally revealed to the American people in the long overdue public release of the C.I.A. Inspector General (IG) 9/11 report reaching that condemning conclusion the public release of which the C.I.A. for a full decade has improperly obstructed and delayed for as long as possible until now.
     As reported in the Reuters article which interested readers can go to at the first link below C.I.A top officials have fought bitterly among themselves as well as with others outside the C.I.A. as to who was responsible for the catastrophic intelligence errors which allowed the 9/11 attacks to occur. As competing persons' mistaken memoirs and misremembrances steadily make their way to "press" over time presumably most all involved or touched by the circles (be they of power or be they of doom) will seek without hesitation aggressively to reconstruct disastrous history as they deem necessary vigorously to deny responsibilities for which they once clamored.
     Desperate to distance themselves at breakneck speed from the memory of their own actions or lack of them the overarching motivation now being even if not possible to benefit at least to try to deflect any further damage to their own approaching presumably feared at best rather bruised legacies as the day inexorably approaches for all of us that personal "remembrances" of one kind or another mostly will be the near sole entirety of evidence of the material reality we once both knew ourselves as persons and were known to most others on earth.
     Their "bitter" disagreements extended to C.I.A. Inspector General John Helgerson who upon releasing a draft 2005 report critical of the CIA up to its leadership by CIA Director George Tenet who read the draft report and in a "heated" 2005 letter rejected Helgerson's draft critical report. Tenet resorted to histrionics charging that "[y]our report challenges my professionalism, diligence and skill in leading the men and women of U.S. intelligence in countering terrorism," Tenet then essentially wrote to Helgerson all the good things he accomplished.
     These attacks including against what is supposed to be the "independent" Inspector General continued unabated as detailed in the Reuters article at the first link below including through another 2007 memo draft "partial" public disclosure and all the rancor which has continued to the end.
     In any case although the Ninth Amendment is committed to covering the CIA further in all the glory of the fits currently turning attacks at its own internal oversight IG when in fact the obscured vital point is that the C.I.A. allowed the horror of 9/11 to occur by its own ineptitude just as when it pulled all its familiar sneaky and crybaby stunts with the Senate Torture Panel going so far as to commit cyberattacks on Senate computers while simultaneously formally lodging false claims with the Justice Department outright lying that the Senate Interns were doing to CIA computers that which the  CIA in fact was doing to the Interns,
     All of which is rather tedious in its predictability as the CIA eventually after lying about all it could for years until caught then used its usual means of covering up its first lie with another but finally the CIA had to write a formal written apology to the Senate for lying, invading the Senate's computers, making false accusations, whining in every way possible, threatening, lying again all finally followed by it's usual "okay already, we are sorry we did do it " letter which is very nice except in the end all the smokescreen garbage swept aside the point is that the Senate Torture report concluded that torture war crimes against humanity where committed for which members of the Bush-Cheney administration as well as CIA officials who should therefore by criminally prosecuted but literally pray to get away with crimes up to murder.
     Those readers interested in the CIA's years of bitterly complaining and intruding into what should have been the Independent investigation report will find the usual CIA antics of insanely needing to know every detail of what is being written about the CIA immediately without regard for any impropriety of not only letting alone others who supposedly have independent oversight responsibilities but completely intruding into and trying to control their work, their writing and their conclusions. The Ninth Amendment editorial board unanimously believes that this intrusiveness by the CIA or any agency of those who have oversight responsibilities is outrageous and gravely dangerous in more ways than one,
     Yes the CIA due to a lack of any comprehensive plan among other things is responsible for the success of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. It is unfortunate that rather than focusing on improvements at the CIA that in fact must be the biggest issue as Reuters put it succinctly that the past ten plus years many have instead been most engaged by their concern that "[a]t stake in the years-long dispute are the legacies of former top CIA officials and the agency itself." In other words rather than finding the truth they want to write their own history and apparently are more than willing to attempt to force their narrative into the one of what really occurred.
     Readers interested in more information about the above can go to the first link below to the Reuters article referenced above. Those readers interested in the C.I.A. Inspector General's Final Report regarding the C.I.A.s lapses allowing the 9/11 attacks to occur can find it at the second link below which also includes links to C.I.A. memos and correspondence during the course of the investigations as well as the C.I.A.s response to the Inspector General's Final Report.

N.S.A. Criminal Obama New Constitutional Violations Concise Chronicle From N.Y. Times All Report Summaries Below With Reports Expanded As Desired

     Saturday, 13 June 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Greetings to all our domestic and especially our steadily growing numbers of fairly regular readers in nearly fifty countries now who should know although the next paragraph is directed to those here in the U.S. that the remainder of the post should prove worthwhile to the many who have expressed interest in the subject matter of the posts here. We are immensely grateful to all of our diverse readers who visit our site for diverse reasons from diverse locations with good intention.
     It just can be so challenging these days to try to keep up to be a good informed citizen who stays current with the relentless storm of today's government blatant abuses and less obvious ones constantly encroaching on the constitutional and other rights of the people of the U.S. and other countries of the world community often with absolutely no constitutional nor moral authority even remotely justifying illegal and unethical actions with apparent delusional impunity in areas reserved alone to the people especially given today's propensity of most any government agency to lie emphatically until its principals literally are being walked off to prison or pried out of their office due to stupendous misdeeds and or years-long scandal as the case may be. All the while we are trying to meet our many other obligations while most of all trying to set aside adequate time for the "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" for which we established our U.S. government to protect and preserve us all in the first place.
     One way of late to catch hints of Government abuses by the N.S.A. is to listen to President Obama himself as he seems to have developed the unfortunate habit of using the word "transparency" to describe his administration even as it moves especially of late further and further from that description such that it never will be used in any way to describe his legacy other than the fact that any claim to it has been a lie. One can be fairly sure of late that if the President uses that word in public or a speech his N.S.A. or some other executive agency is up to some new secret abuse to which it eventually will be outed kicking and screaming but certainly not by the Obama White House unless caught red-handed (thus of course providing an opportunity for some tortured attempt to twist it into some phony self-accolade for the Obama administration's "transparency" upon being exposed.)
     What follows is a recently published New York Times handy summary of N.S.A.  publicly known alleged changes and other activities for those unable to keep up with all the latest N.S.A. abuses (which we fear also now are now bleeding inevitably into domestic law enforcement) but wishing at least to be informed as to what has been going on that is publicly known about the N.S.A. organized in an easily readable form with the option to read further in articles expanded as desired:
