No Canadian NSA connection, but very own data snooping program
RT | June 11, 2013
Canada does not use the US NSA’s top secret surveillance PRISM program, officials revealed. Instead, it has a spying platform of its own that it claims manages to distinguish between domestic and international telephone and internet data collected.

Former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul appeared on CNN tonight to tell Piers Morgan why he objects to the NSA surveillance program. Morgan directly asked Paul if he would have actually ended surveillance programs if he were president. Paul said he would still want intelligence gathering, but it would be done in a more transparent way, maintaining that the current surveillance program are unquestionably unconstitutional. He directly told NSA defenders that they are simply “justifying dictatorship.”

O Hillary
I think a generic Republican-- which is, after all, what they all are anyway-- could beat Hillary Clinton in Texas, Georgia, Kentucky and South Carolina in 2016. But those will probably be the battleground states if she runs. That's really bad news for the GOP, which would prefer that the battleground states be Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Colorado and New Hampshire, all states Clinton will probably have in the bag going into the election.

This Is Too Good To Miss: 23 Reasons Why I Feel Safer Today In America!
With all the reports coming out now about how the NSA has been purposely spying on every American citizen via their phones, social media, and even their personal e-mails, I am indeed shocked that more American citizens are not up in arms about this horrendous action by their own criminal government? Is America at the point now that its own citizens are hopelessly dumbed down by chemicals and the droning effect of their Talmud-Visions that they are unwilling to act to defend their freedoms and liberties? I do wonder...I came across the following article from the "From The Trenches World Re

A Slice of the Anti-war/Syria position in NYC
It shouldn’t be easy for a group of Antiwar.com writers and supporters to just walk in and dish about foreign policy at the Left Forum, which claims to be the biggest annual convocation of Leftwing activists in the country.
But it was — easy, that is. In fact, some of us probably made it harder for the Leftwing participants at the New York City confab to prove to us that that they weren’t just humanitarian “imperialists” in disguise. Imperialists – that’s a dirty word in these parts, on any side of the aisle. -

PRISM Nine: The Implications
The leaks about America’s ever growing (and already ridiculously large) surveillance state came with a handy list of nine companies that joined the program.
