The NSA Thing...
A preemptive word of warning - I'm tired as hell right now, and I always write these things off the top of my head, in only 1 take, so, if I ramble? Well...KMA lol
Let's get started !
The above image is taken from the "Right Now" video from Van Halen. It is from the "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" album which was released in 1992.
Right Now, Joe Foster is thinking Sammy Hagar is a fucking prophet...
And just because I think I could spice my blog up with some tunes, here's the link to the video below, for your listening pleasure...
In fact, upon watching this video tonight, over a couple decades later, SO MUCH of the content of it is COMPLETELY relevant today, for ALL of us. Old men and oil companies are in control etc...
Right Now, we find ourselves in the year 2013, and are just NOW asking ourselves, what, when, how and WHY did our OWN government do this, to be able to have the ability to monitor US - and become Big Brother? How DARE they invade MY privacy?
To people like that. I don't really know exactly the proper way to respond. I think I might try by dropping a pretty heavy, but relevant quote on them, my favorite quote, of ALL time...it goes a little something like this...
"Most people are on the world, not in it-- having no conscious sympathy or relationship to anything about them-- undiffused separate, and rigidly alone like marbles of polished stone, touching but separate. " - John Muir
Right Now, those not IN the know, are probably wondering, "what the hell does he mean by saying that?:
What I'm trying to say is - Unless a person actually cares enough to understand and be completely aware of his world, his surroundings and environment - at ALL times, then you're part of the problem - not the solution.
So, if this applies to you, do me, and those of us with functional synapses a favor - sit down, shut up, and GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY of those of us who are able to form cognitive thought patterns, and try to make sense of things, and just MAYBE, think of a way out of this disasterpiece we've gotten ourselves so deeply mired into...
In all honesty though, given the generalized dis-associative state our attention-deficit-afflicted nation is symbiotically entwined with, I feel that we've now crossed past the 11th hour - the "Zero Barrier", and there's no looking back - the "asteroid" is GOING to hit us. (#Armageddon) Too many minds would need to be awakened, in too little time, and I just don't see our own country or world rising above the largest plague of Mankind - the Apathy that has us all BY THE BALLS...
I digress for a moment, you know, while I'm here passing out Sainthoods, I may as well give a few to the Wachowski brothers, because damn it, they too seemingly are able to divinate the divine when they shared the story and concept of "The Matrix" with us, which is, in nearly EVERY way, the absolute, complete, and tragically realistic analogy of our daily lives...... "The Matrix Is Real"
People are plugged in. Clueless. Automatons. Perfectly content to live ignorantly in bliss, rather than understand and comprehend or improve their own conditions or the worlds around them.
Why am I saying this? Simple. We have our entire country up in arms screaming about the fact that we're SURE that our Government (aka. "Mr. Smith") knows EXACTLY what we're doing - what we're watching on TV, what we're eating, where we're going, or what kinda porn we're watch....er just kidding..honest !
- A quick sidebar -
No knocks on my door - yet. Though, sometimes, I do wonder what would happen if I were able to openly share my views, face to face, with the Feds. Now the movie ERASER is coming to mind...."You've just been ERASED."
Damn. I watch too many movies....
- End sidebar -
So anyways, let's see if we can get some panties un-bunched. For my fellow countrymen all up in arms, let's start here...
I know you probably didn't read it, but that's OK, I knew you wouldn't, so being the great and helpful guy that I am, I'll explain it to you...
This is a law that the BEST PRESIDENT THE USA HAS EVER HAD (yes I'm kidding again, I could NEVER say that with a straight face) - George Bush signed into LAW in the year TWO-THOUSAND-AND-ONE.
So, for the past 12 years (and now we know more) our Men In Black (also another good movie), have had the proverbial FREE REIGN to come and go and monitor pretty damn as much of our personal lives as we see fit!
So I guess I should ask, where the HELL was all the Altruistic bitching THEN? Queue the sound of crickets....
Now, I know most of us are pissed about this (NOW), but seriously, did you EVER TRULY BELIEVE, for ONE SINGLE MOMENT, that they would, or have EVER imposed ANY kind of boundaries or restrictions upon the limits of their jurisdictions into our lives?
Are you REALLY THAT naive? How's that plug in the back of your head workin out for ya?
"Wow! I know Kung-Fu!..."
If you need a refresher, go look at "Prophet Sammy's" image again.....
Yes, I do know, it WOULD have been NICE, to have had the luxury of the government sitting down with our own Human Rights groups and allowed / afforded us some form of discussions about what individual freedoms WE WOULD and WOULD NOT be willing to sacrifice or keep, but to do that just isn't feasible. Not in this kind of playing minefield. Not these days...things are different. Things are globally DANGEROUS.
Another quick, but relative digression - I've sat back and watched all the cutesy Memes about Gun control, and one of them sticks in my mind, which the promotes gun advocacy with a message that says something about "use guns, because when do you think criminals will ever play fair" or something very similar to that.
So the question to ask, which was already answered by the actions of "THE MAN" is - "THEY DON'T" and because of that, we're doing it "OUR WAY" your way is IRRELEVANT. Now sit down, shut up, and go back to being a happy little automaton in the Matrix. Know your role, and shut your mouth !
The point here is, you CAN'T announce to the world that you're listening to this channel or that channel, or monitoring this frequency or that for Terroristic activity. You don't go into a warzone / jungle or crime infested building and yell out something like - "Hey bad guys, are ya in here?" Guess what?
They're NOT gonna answer you.... #shocker !
So....since 2001, when the ENTIRE WORLD CHANGED (meaning, we DONT live in that kind of happy-go-lucky-everyone-is-shiny-and-happy-kind-of-world anymore, where everything was cutesy and happy, and only those mean people overseas that NO ONE CARED ABOUT blew each other up, and we didn't have a care in the world, only to make sure we didn't miss our favorite programs on TV - we HAVE to ask...
What in the blue FUCK do we do to stay 1 step ahead of these bastards?
And so, the government gave us PRISM...
and before that it was NarusInsight...
and before THAT it was Carnivore...
For those actually educated enough to BE ATTUNED to this world, do I REALLY need to stop and tell you that even before THAT, there were OTHER systems used to monitor us, and to keep us in control?
You're smart enough to know this has been something happening from the beginning of our formation until now, right ?
My point is, this isn't something that just sprung up and happened overnight...
Our enemies are NOT overseas anymore. They're HERE. They're all around us. That's OUR REALITY. And now, it's actually time to put down the remote and CARE, because it actually affects YOU. It affects ME. It affects us ALL.
In THIS world, today, to attempt to survive this kind of guerrilla warfare, you HAVE NO CHOICE other than to partake in these kinds of NECESSARY EVILS to attempt to stay 1 step AHEAD of your enemy - just like a global Chessmatch. Any good Chess player knows this is the best way to defeat your opponent.
The BIG problem with that is - our opponent(s) know, and are actively doing that to us, Right Now, too !
The BIG problem with that is - our opponent(s) know, and are actively doing that to us, Right Now, too !
Keep in mind, that employing these EXACT techniques, the monitoring of transmissions etc, were DIRECTLY responsible for assisting us in the capture AND EXECUTION of Osama Bin Laden !
And now, let me tell you, there is not ONE person in the ENTIRE WESTERN HEMISPHERE that didn't CHEER when we got the news that he was double tapped !
What happened then? Be honest with yourself. For a MOMENT you felt SAFER. You felt more SECURE. And maybe, just for a SECOND your mind flashed back and thought you could go back to it being September 10th, 2011 again. Things would once again be RIGHT in this world, and we could wake up from this incessant NIGHTMARE we're all in....
But NO, with 1 fell swoop, these fucking PRICKS Assange, Snowden and their assorted collection of douche bags have attempted to level the ENTIRE playing field and allow these fucking terrorists an EASIER time to plan and plot at how many of OUR loved ones they're going to be able to KILL.
With 1 fell swoop, that bastard ELIMINATED YEARS of collective time, money, secrecy and effort and nullify the GOOD things those systems have done AND POTENTIAL harm and deaths they could have protected us ALL from in our future....
What did General Alexander say? BECAUSE OF THOSE SYSTEMS they were ABLE to INTERCEPT (meaning takes place before hand) / THWART FIFTY PLUS attacks ! Attacks that, God knows, would have PROBABLY killed exponentially HIGHER than the events at The World Trade Center, and that day - 9-11, is a day that is FOREVER burned into our collective psyche. A scar that will NEVER heal. What could POSSIBLY be WORSE than THAT kind of DAMAGE ?
Do we REALLY want to find out ? Why not ask the people at the Boston Marathon...
Do we want to find out when they have a NUCLEAR SUITCASE to open in the middle of Times Square...?
Listen to me, you DONT defeat these BASTARDS by offering them a fucking flower, or by using strong language ! You've GOT to use these kinds of clandestine systems to create an advantage! You HAVE to be able to be the one to outwit, outplay, and outlast your opponent!! (yes Survivor IS my favorite show)....
Personally, I APPLAUD the President for using these systems, because I know, for as much of a DOUCHE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ALIKE CAN BE, at the END OF THE DAY - OUR PRESIDENT WOULD PICK UP A GUN OR PRESS A BUTTON TO DEFEND US ALL OR DIE TRYING TO KEEP US ALL SAFE. That's his fucking job! He's doing it, but in a way that our world climate and environment created FOR him, NOT because he ARBITRARILY sought out, of his OWN ACCORD, to USE. Get the DIFFERENCE?
Now, this brings me to this little shitstain Snowden....
Man...I've been in IT for 26 years, and I've run across EXACTLY the type that he is - the smug, pompous, know it all, elitist, want to be self righteous and important, firebrand and legend in his OWN mind that he WISHES to be...he's NOT. He's not "Neo" though, I'm positive he wishes he was.
Ironically enough, there's IS a part of me, that incessantly yearns, in ALL things, for the TRUTH, that CAN see the merit in the INFORMATION itself, but his actions, CLEARLY DO NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS.
At the end of the day, the dissemination of his information and dossiers will DEFINITELY do our country, AND OUR SAFETY, more HARM than good. In the end, his whisteblowing is a ruse of his own.

So what can we DO about it? Critical systems and government departments will ALWAYS be prone to user intervention. Maybe one day, to paraphrase another Keanu movie, perhaps government employees will manditorily be "wetwired" to our sensitive systems, and restricted from classified information. Maybe we will have the ability to "mindwipe" agents that go rogue...who knows....they're already working on it....hey, it COULD happen!
So let's see now, where is this coward anyway ? Right Now, he's sitting ( last I checked he was in Russia, (giving our secrets to our NUCLEAR ARMED BEST FRIENDS THE RUSSIANS - a truly awesome thing in of itself!!!! I couldn't be HAPPIER about that, I'm damn near downright GIDDY about it ! FML......)
He's saying he's doing this in the public interest, and yet, he's giving interviews and shit, and now his Pops is making demands and riders and waivers about the conditions on which he will be coming back to America...
If I was Barack, I'd say "SURE BUDDY !come on back, ALL is forgiven! Honest ! I got a welcome home package just WAITING for ya!!!....though, if it were me, it just very well could be a package that was ticking...lol
Seriously people, Snowden isn't telling anyone who is clued in anything they don't ALREADY KNOW. It is simply, if at best, putting a product label with the ideology and concepts we've all known to exist, for many, many years...
The only people that seem, in ANY way shocked about this, are those people who managed, somehow, with SUPERHUMAN EFFORT, to tear themselves away from their beloved suckling of TV for a second, or, because someone texted or tweeted something to them about it. Hell, maybe they saw it Trending Now and figured they'd check it out...lmfao !
So...anyway, thanks Ed for exposing our country, and needlessly putting lives in danger. You're a REAL HERO...no, not really. ...you're a fucking narcissistic TERRORIST, and I can't WAIT til the Feds get a hold of you. I GUARANTEE you'll WISH you were in Guantanamo !
I have to wonder this very important thought. What would he think, if it was HIS family standing next to the wastebasket at the Boston Marathon...would he have the same ideals then...?
Me? Yeah my family lives near Boston. My family had a FUN day worrying about the welfare of our loved ones until, many hours later, we learned everyone was okay...I'm telling you, it's NOT a position you EVER want to find yourselves in...
So anyway, good luck with your travels Ed. Try fucking over or crossing the Chinese or Russian governments next and see where THAT gets ya! I guarantee the same exact place if he ever tries to step foot back here again...
In a fucking body bag....
So how do I summarize this? I guess I just really don't give a shit what the government monitors of mine. If they want my hard drive, I'll hand it over willingly. If they want to listen to my conversations about me taking my Mom to Wal Mart, or how she loves chocolate shakes, or how riveting and shocking it is that I call my wife to tell her that I love her, or that I'm constantly sending her love notes and texts all day....or that I look at pictures of comic books on Facebook, or that I write radical blogs....muahaha !!!
Simply put, I have nothing to hide, and I'm unashamed of anything I've done. If anyone else is like that, I would venture to think, that they have nothing to worry about either - so they can blissfully and ignorantly stay plugged in to The Matrix, with their TV remotes firmly locked in their grasp.
Right Now...I believe, our Government has other things to do...
Right Now...I'm done.
