Isn't he the same guy who has the ability to spread computer viruses wherever he wants? And yes, these tyrants are criminals, no question.
Let's say you( ie NSA) did stumble across a couple of suburban terrorist on long island. Would the clever thing to do be to send the local cops out to ask them if they had any bombs? Or maybe would you watch them and see if they could connect you to someone else? Send out someone to do a blackbag job on their house when they were away? These clowns are ridiculous. They spend tens of billions and can't keep track of two doofusses the russians ID'd for them. But they can roust you for googling the wrong thing.
Our government is too big, mostly staffed by incompetent morons, run by an unqualified corrupt community organizer and completely out of control.
I think this quote from leonardo dicaprio sums up the reason they storm the house first and ask questions later. When leo is told that cops sometimes cry if they were forced to use their weapons, they have all those pretty toys, and nothing to do with them, you know they are just itching to try it out on someone regardless of whether the situation warrants it. <object width="32" height="32" class="hark_player"> <param name="movie" value="http://cdn.hark.com/swfs/player_32x32.swf?pid=xjnzkczkhn"/> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/> <param name="allownetworking" value="all"/> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/> <embed src="http://cdn.hark.com/swfs/player_32x32.swf?pid=xjnzkczkhn" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allownetworking="all" width="32" height="32" wmode="transparent"></embed> </object><br/> <a href="http://www.hark.com/clips/xjnzkczkhn-they-signed-up-to-use-their-weapons" style="font-size: 9px; color: #ddd;" title="Listen to on Hark.com"></a> "Use their weapons? Let me tell you something. They signed up to use their weapons. Most of them, all right. But they watch enough TV... ...so they know they have to weep after they use their weapons. There is no one more full of shit than a cop. Except for a cop on TV."
I can only conclude that the intent of the government is to begin harassing ordinary citizens to get us used to it. Keep encroaching more and more on our liberties until one day the hammer drops. All with the blessings of the courts and the legislature.
Me neither. Problem is, there won't be a warning imo. Can't believe we have to consider something like this actually happening in America.
Geez. But let's collect every piece of information on every American so we can hang them high when we want. --- The F.B.I. has concluded that there was little its agents could have done to prevent the Boston Marathon bombings, according to law enforcement officials, rejecting criticism that it could have better monitored one of the suspects before the attack. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/02/u...l?partner=rss&emc=rss&smid=tw-thecaucus&_r=1&
It's not just the SC and Congress. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/wsj-obama-power-grab/2013/08/01/id/518243 WSJ's Henninger: 'Obama's Creeping Authoritarianism' ..."Liberals will back the president, Henninger said. "The political left, historically inclined by ideological belief to public policy that is imposed rather than legislated, will support Mr. Obama's expansion of authority." ... You are absolutely correct. Troubling times ahead.
What a surprise. When has any arm of government reviewed a screwup and admitted they screwed up? This is the same FBI that just can't seem to get to the bottom of the IRS scandal. They are ready to burn down a house full of children or shoot a guy's wife while she's holding a baby, eg Waco and Ruby Ridge, but they can't figure out a way to thwart a couple of idiots from Borakistan? Here's an idea. Deport their sorry asses. Or wiretap them. Or roust their apartment every week. Or follow them like they are actual terrorists, which the russians warned us was the case. Maybe the FBI could have prevented them killing those other guys too. Like the local cops in many cities, the FBI has its own agenda, which seems to revolve around abusing regular citizens but leaving actual criminals and terrorists alone. The only "terrorists" they have stopped or caught were ones they created themselves. Mixed up guys who most likely would have lived out their lives without incident but for the FBI recruiting them into bogus plots.
