The Ninth Amendment to the Constitution is the strongest statement therein that powers not expressly granted the State are retained as rights of the People. The State has misconstrued, misrepresented, ignored, and denied the People's rights by elimination of protections reserved alone to them, not recognized by the Supreme Court, the Legislative, and worst the Executive Branch in the illegitimate exercise of draconian powers which unlawfully disparage the inalienable rights of the People.

REIN IN NSA! CREDO Action (Working Assets Mobile) Urges Readers Please Sign Petition Below That Congress Pass Pending Bipartisan USA FREEDOM ACT Co-Sponsored Even By "PATRIOT" ACT Co-Author Sensenbrenner
A Brief Digression Before The Petition At Hand
Friday, 1 November 2013, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The secret fact for the day is that in much of the world Halloween although officially over is still being "partied". With even lucky New York Wall Streeters still able to get in a $100 steak and a few good hours or so trick-or-treating in the hottest club restrooms "for the good old days" while the kids hit friends' penthouses under the watchful eyes of the au pairs. Plus some of that world-famous next phase New York late night partying once your significant "whatother" goes home with a headache.
Just imagine how good it must feel to stay up all night drinking $1,000 bottles of champagne and going straight via your $200 breakfast into your skyscraper corner office in a genuine office tower built for the ages (such as the Empire State Building where a B-17 could REALLY hit it in the fog and just BOUNCE OFF IT). Where they really are not yet ALL now designed by the architects to be faux corner offices so the CORNER PARTNERS really still do have the CORNER OFFICES. Have your fresh shirt put on and into your private bathroom with your next day's shoes shined while you read the funnies. You are shaved with a super-sharp straight edge by an escort you once dated whom you trust with your life (so long as you keep hinting her those tips "you would play yourself were you still working the trading down the ladder ha! ha! where it made any difference at all whether you came out ahead or behind because now it is all the same it IS ALL AHEAD).
Lickbacks For Order Flow
Oh what fun it is to ride where every day is a winning day. However one bets and whether one loses or wins numberswise you always win moneyswise. As we saw with "litttle shrub" Bush and yes again President Obama once Goldman, Sachs shared the imminent (as in at the close of business) evidence of its collapse and thus of its cronies, the Country's and inconsequentially must-not-forget least of all its clients to its former and future bosses through the federal government banking revolving door, that Federal Government sure could move fast for once, as in fat hands reaching for hundreds of billions of dollars in pockets as fast as they could ("the paperwork could be worked out later").
Candidly this meaning everyone else's money, including the whole Country's, by the way being sold to their fine clients that garbage you would not even take out for the stink and look at that, what did your clients do but go and BEAT YOU with your own ROTTEN ADVICE WHICH HOW DARE THEY SINCE EVEN YOU BET AGAINST THEM. Oh well, as we said, you are where EVERY DAY is a winning day, especially a losing day and a "conflict of interest" is just another trading technique kind of like "lickbacks for order flow"
And presto! chango! look at that just as we were taught in school. "How A Bill Is Made." And, boy, it sure is made fast! (Government's not closed that day!) And slipped right there (along with everything else) right in Uncle Sam's pocket and look out comes a fresh new shiny "bill", only this one is straight from the mint, and this one is a WINNER! Winner, winner, chicken dinner! There we go what we intended to say a bit more concisely. About as good odds (for BlackJack our very favorite) as in our TOTALLY UNINFORMED opinion one might expect on an Indian Lands (owned not "managed" please), say eight-deck continuously shuffling shoe where we can only split tens and double down on twenties. . . .
Sign Credo's Petition For The USA Freedom Act
All kidding aside the truth is this post has been drafted and lost and pummeled and back again. Speaking of our lead heading NSA CREDO Petition post title readers actually may be interested to learn that the Ninth Amendment's recent informational CREDO Working Assets mobile telephone service apparently has generated a significant amount of interest amongst Ninth Amendment readers as evidenced by an originally strong reader "pageview" showing followed by sustained higher levels than average of return readers to that post in particular.
Readers may recall that "CREDO Action from Working Assets" apparently follows in the tradition of Working Assets which we recall as originating at the time of the advent of fierce long distance "landline" telephone service competition. Working Assets set itself apart by characterizing itself as socially active (like CREDO today) at that time allowing customers monthly opportunities to make free calls for allotted time periods to designated numbers choosing from a selection of causes to support by volume of mostly "personal" directed telephone calls.
In any case we do NOT ourselves currently have any staff members whom we can consult personally as to the quality and reliability of CREDO service which apparently follows in the Working Assets tradition of setting itself apart by social activism such as demonstrated here in "Reining In The NSA" along with incentives such as assurances of the refunding of "contract service charges" for readers who decide they wish to try a CREDO telephone contract mid-stream in another but not suffer a financial setback (being held hostage) for doing so.
In any case we received the below e-mail from CREDO Action which is pertinent to news covered and/or followed here in that it links to a Congressional petition signature drive in SUPPORT of the "USA FREEDOM ACT" to reverse portions of the "USA PATRIOT ACT" and its ilk. Apparently the sponsors of this Bipartisan Bill (which even INCLUDES one of the Patriot Act's co-authors) could not resist the temptation in the naming of the new bill of flaunting what we can only hope HERE is a like-minded name directed in response to the very widely remarked cynicism in the naming of the Patriot Act. Only one one learns here that in this case the name truly a sincere step in the slow processing step in the process of restoring our constitutional rights.
Hopefully the urged passage of the USA Freedom Act is but one component in many pieces of legislation, judicial opinions and myriad other steps needed not a moment later to help clean up the detritus of the U.S. Constitution with enough left intact to continue to cleanup the United States Constitution with enough of that great document intact to enable the American people to reclaim it to its original glory consistent with legitimate amendment. Readers please find below the petition circulated to the American people for their signature in support of the USA Freedom Act and more generally to express their support of these great efforts to save our Country from anything but change by legitimate peaceful process as set out in the U.S.Constitution itself.

| The NSA has become a rogue agency and Congress needs to rein it in. | ||||
The petition to the House and Senate reads:
"The NSA has become a rogue agency and
Congress needs to rein it in. The USA Freedom Act is a much needed first
step that would stop the bulk collection of Americans' telephone
records and provide some needed transparency about National Security
Letters and other forms of warrantless spying. Please support this
important legislation, and oppose the competing bill proposed by Sen.
Dianne Feinstein that is reform in name only and would do nothing to
stop the rampant and unconstitutional abuses by the NSA and other
intelligence agencies."

Dear martin,
The NSA has far too much power to spy on innocent Americans without any meaningful oversight.
It's gotten so bad that even one
of the original ultra-conservative authors of the Patriot Act, Rep. Jim
Sensenbrenner, joined with progressive stalwart Rep. John Conyers and
Senator Patrick Leahy in introducing a bipartisan NSA reform bill.
This
bill, which they named the USA Freedom Act, would end the bulk
collection of Americans' telephone records and provide a modest measure
of needed transparency to the use of National Security Letters and other
forms of warrantless wiretapping.
It's a good first step, and we need to show the
House and the Senate that there’s popular support for Congress starting
the process of restoring our constitutional rights.Tell Congress: Rein in the NSA to stop its unconstitutional spying. Click here to automatically sign the petition. Let's be clear. We support the full repeal of the Patriot Act and the FISA Amendments Act. The only legislative vehicle for that is Rep. Rush Holt’s Surveillance State Repeal Act, which we will continue to fight for. But until we succeed in repealing the Patriot Act and the FISA Amendments Act, we should support anything that will start the process of reining in the NSA without making anything worse. The Sensenbrenner-Leahy bill is a good move in that direction. It will at the very least stop the kind of bulk surveillance dragnets that allows the government to spy on millions of Americans who are not suspected of any wrongdoing. And it will take a minor step toward transparency by allowing companies to disclose the number of requests they get from the government that force them to turn over the private information of their users and customers without a court order and under a gag. It's important to note that this is far less than what we truly need to rein in the NSA. But it's a good start. The bill preserves much of the status quo. Let's remember, the problem of overbroad and unconstitutionally intrusive government surveillance is so vast that even the president didn't know that the U.S. was tapping the phones of allied world leaders like German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But while the Sensenbrenner-Leahy bill is a good first step, the same cannot be said for the bill proposed by Senator Dianne Feinstein, which in the name of reform would simply codify the ability of the government to spy on innocent Americans without doing anything to prevent the rampant abuses that have become routine practices of a rogue NSA and other intelligence agencies. That's why we’re asking Congress to support Rep. Sensenbrenner and Sen. Leahy’s USA Freedom Act, and oppose Senator Feinstein’s sham bill which is meant to make the public think oversight is being strengthened over the NSA when there will be no meaningful reform established in the legislation. Tell Congress: Rein in the NSA to stop its unconstitutional spying. Click the link below to automatically sign the petition: http://act.credoaction.com/go/2449?t=5&akid=9307.5397176.GtsyYU Thank you for taking a stand against unconstitutional government spying.

Secret Police Chief Feinstein Betrays Democratic Roots Herds Comitttee To Endorse And "[P]reserve" NSA's 2006-Present "Call Log" Of All Of Every American's Phone Calls
Friday, 27 September 2013, SAN FRANCISCO - Dianne Feinstein has come (excuse us, "gone" apparently) far away since her heart's start as a San Francisco city councilperson and Mayor before the big one-way trip to Waxhington, D.C. She always has may we say appeared to have a proclivity for the more refined circles. Certainly even in bearing alone her she has seemed well-suited ( yes, pun, good) to her regal stature. Senator Feinstein has good posture.
Oddly in this case that stature compared to at least sheer height though perhaps with more awkwardness would be President Obama thus making her somehow somewhat comparable to the early President Obama in the case at hand. That is here in the NSA case that it seems to us she has taken a step reminiscent of an earlier in his term Barack Obamism.
We wish to emphasize our disappointment with Senator Feinstein's apparent apologism for the National Security Agency and indeed her even apparent ratification, verification, legitimization, there are a lot of words which seem uncomfortably close to fitting this situation of the NSA's operation "Prism". Well at least it sounds a lot closer than the "Patriot" Act which President Obama endorsed to that for which it might be suited should the need arise.
Senator Feinstein's avowed and/or at least otherwise obvious purpose apart from "preserving" the components of this blanket surveillance which she sees as "lawful" (a very good start) is not necessarily going to raise the public's "confidence" in something which has pushed beyond the limits of the public's trust for seven years already with some blanket surveillance program of which the public has had no knowledge whatsoever.
Difficult at best to raise a person's confidence in something which they did not even know existed but was intentionally kept hidden doubtless because of its "slap you in the face" overarching invasion of your privacy until the dark secret slipped out. Of what kind of confidence is one speaking in which the only evidence held up to bolster this massive systematic invasion of the privacy of all is the young man who told you about it and apparently two persons in the United States who broke the law in giving thousands of dollars to a "forbidden" Somali group presumably of "terrorists".
Whoa! Seven years of our national government by whatever means necessary directly collecting and keeping sorted specifically identifying records of every one of each of our telephone calls for our doing nothing at all except dialing and/or speaking on the phone, and that is all they have to show for the blanket surveillance of their own people. And one General who says he thinks this system would have averted the 9/11 attacks had it then been in place.

Senators Push to Preserve N.S.A. Phone Surveillance
By CHARLIE SAVAGE
Published: September 26, 2013
WASHINGTON — The Senate Intelligence Committee appears to be moving
toward swift passage of a bill that would “change but preserve” the
once-secret National Security Agency
program that is keeping logs of every American’s phone calls, Senator
Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who leads the panel, said
Thursday.

Judge Urges U.S. to Consider Releasing N.S.A. Data on Calls (September 14, 2013)

Court Upbraided N.S.A. on Its Use of Call-Log Data (September 11, 2013)

N.S.A. Able to Foil Basic Safeguards of Privacy on Web (September 6, 2013)
Ms. Feinstein, speaking at a rare public hearing of the committee, said
she and the top Republican on the panel, Senator Saxby Chambliss of
Georgia, are drafting a bill that would be marked up — meaning that
lawmakers could propose amendments to it before voting it out of
committee — as early as next week.
After the existence of the program became public by leaks from the
former N.S.A. contractor Edward J. Snowden, critics called for it to be
dismantled. Ms. Feinstein said her bill would be aimed at increasing
public confidence in the program, which she said she believed was
lawful.
The measure would require public reports of how often the N.S.A. had
used the calling log database, she said. It would also reduce the number
of years — currently five — that the domestic calling log data is kept
before it is deleted. It would also require the N.S.A. to send lists of
the phone numbers it searches, and its rationale for doing so, to the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for review.
By contrast, a rival bill
drafted by skeptics of government surveillance, including two members
of the committee, Senators Ron Wyden of Oregon and Mark Udall of
Colorado, would ban the mass call log collection program.
That more extensive step is unlikely to pass the committee. Ms.
Feinstein contended that “a majority of the committee” believed that the
call log program was “necessary for our nation’s security.”
Ms. Feinstein said her bill with Mr. Chambliss would also require Senate
confirmation of the N.S.A.’s director. At the same time, it would
expand the N.S.A.’s powers to wiretap without warrants in the United
States in one respect: when it is eavesdropping on a foreigner’s
cellphone, and that person travels to the United States, the N.S.A.
would be allowed to keep wiretapping for up to a week while it seeks
court permission.
That step would remove the largest number of incidents in which the
N.S.A. has deemed itself to have broken rules about surveillance in the
United States. Those incidents were identified in a May 2012 audit leaked by Mr. Snowden.
The rival proposals pushed by Mr. Wyden and Mr. Udall
would also ban the N.S.A. from warrantless searches of Americans’
information in the vast databases of communications it collects by
targeting noncitizens abroad. And it would prohibit, when terrorism is
not suspected, systematic searches of the contents of Americans’ international e-mails and text messages that are “about” a target rather than to or from that person.
Still, most of the senators on the Intelligence Committee, which had
received briefings about the call log program and other surveillance
even before Mr. Snowden’s leaks, used the hearing on Thursday to largely
defend the programs and criticize the disclosures.
Mr. Chambliss suggested that people could die because of Mr. Snowden’s
disclosures, and he pressed Gen. Keith Alexander, the N.S.A. director,
to describe the program’s value.
“In my opinion,” General Alexander said, “if we had had that prior to 9/11, we would have known about the plot.”
Officials have struggled to identify terrorist attacks that would have
been prevented by the call log program, which has existed in its current
form since 2006. The clearest breakthrough attributed to the program
was a case involving several San Diego men who were prosecuted for
donating several thousand dollars to a terrorist group in Somalia.
Mr. Wyden pressed General Alexander about whether the N.S.A. had ever
collected, or made plans to collect, bulk records about Americans’
locations based on cellphone tower data.
General Alexander replied that the N.S.A. is not doing so as part of the
call log program, but that information pertinent to Mr. Wyden’s
question was classified.

Obama Vapid Response Shocks Again Dismays Entire New York Times Editorial Board On But Most Recent Executive Major U.S. Constitutional Attack
Wednesday, 19 June 2013, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The Ninth Amendment most sincerely regrets yet again in what seems to be but a matter of weeks and indeed even through this log's most recent post to inform readers of reports that President Obama continues to dismiss and oddly appear to believe he is somehow even distanced from continuing reports of blatant Executive Branch (of which he of course is the Chief) encroachments of potentially calamitous historical Constitutional proportions on some of its most sacred and fundamental protections of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Many are perhaps most specifically and extensively set forth with the ratification by a majority of the several states of the Bill of Rights (which of course still in the view of this log known after all as "The Ninth Amendment" has some VERY largely obviously to most anyone who can read English individually protective yet oddly indeed near-completely unexplored, unrecognized, unacknowledged and actually effectively ignored provisions which the State in the view of this log can only be said to maintain ludicrously are some sort of vestigial surplusage which would have had to be absolutely uncharacteristically inserted by the Founding Fathers as if they were, say, getting paid by the hour or page.
In any case it was at most some few months ago that the entire editorial board of The New York Times as reported here called for the complete closure of Guantanamo Bay and release of remaining detainees especially in light of some who had now spent about a decade there even AFTER federal judges ORDERED them released and all essentially agreed that many (but not all - those being segregated) posed no threat at all. But Congress refused to provide funding.
Then of course heinous legislation such as the cynically entitled "Patriot Act" survives even in all its admittedly worst provisions thrown in in the dead of night with President Obama's administration actually having had its and other legislation's Bush-era "sunset provisions" not only not left effective but having done so by making these laws destroying the fabric of this country permanent.
And now in the wake of the most recent revelations of the Obama administration's continuation of the NSA's seven-year-old unconstitutional universal surveillance program even as the President and his new century "lethal surveillance teams" and Oval Office direct controlled drone assassinations and murders continue, the New York Times reports on President Obama's shockingly dismal and disingenuous statements in defense of the new surveillance state he oversees, even calling it successful when he well knows that the telephone component in particular produces far less safety-enhancing results.
The Ninth Amendment has as recently indicated here had about as much as it cares to stomach for the moment. Interested readers are encouraged to click to the New York Times editorial link directly below for further details. God Bless America.
