This week on FAIR TV: What are David Gregory and Andrew Ross Sorkin really trying to say about Glenn Greenwald? Unnamed government officials are telling media outlets that Edward Snowden’s NSA whistleblowing is helping terrorists. And Time‘s Jon Meacham has some odd nostalgia for the Bush years.
From Sept. 6 2011 article about Tom Shanker’s newly published book.
Time/US: “What under-acknowledged skill set, technology, person played a key role in protecting the nation post-9/11?
Shanker: No tool has revolutionized the nation’s ability to take apart terror networks, or received less acclaim, than the computer or, more specifically, the vast array of supercomputers devoted to the mission. Driven by the NSA, the system can collect, analyze, sort, and store data from a range of communications, in particular cell phone conversations, e-mails, and Web sites, billions of times faster than humans can. It’s the same case with data from documents seized on raids or forensic analysis of bombs.””
SAY NO MORE: Add Thom Shanker to the list of jurnalerrorist!
First off, since when are “terrorists” dumb enough at any time to communicate via methods that leave them wide open to surveillance? If they’re that dumb, I say they probably don’t know enough to build a pipe bomb. No, friends. Snowden and Company is about the higher-up crooks (MIC) using their ill-earned power to monitor lower-ranking honest people who might foment armed revolution against them. And if these crooks (who many think are the world’s worst terrorists) are really worried about other “terrorists,” why are they openly supporting them in Syria? Such problems when you don’t clarify your definitions of boogeyman labels!
HEY GREGORY, ‘SPLAIN THIS to EU OFFICIALS: http://rt.com/news/eu-demand-clarification-us-spying-440/
“‘I am deeply worried and shocked about the allegations of US authorities spying on EU offices,’ said the President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz. ‘If the allegations prove to be true, it would be an extremely serious matter which will have a severe impact on EU-US relations.’ ‘On behalf of the European Parliament, I demand full clarification and require further information speedily from the US authorities with regard to these allegations,’ he added.”
