Thanks Doka. If anyone expects the media here to cover this they're seriously mistaken. The MSM is a joke here in this country. From the article:

“Every time you pick up the phone, dial a number, write an email, make a purchase, travel on the bus carrying a cell phone, swipe a card somewhere, you leave a trace and the government has decided that it’s a good idea to collect it all, everything, even if you’ve never been suspected of any crime,” he said.

Snowden went on to note that, while in the past intelligence agencies would identify a suspect through an investigation and then obtain a warrant for surveillance, “Nowadays what we see is they want to apply the totality of their powers in advance—prior to an investigation.”

The former NSA contractor told his interviewer that his “breaking point” in terms of deciding to make the NSA documents public came in March of last year, “seeing the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, directly lie under oath to Congress” when he denied the existence of any programs gathering intelligence on millions of Americans."

If what Clapper did is true, then that is a criminal offense in and of itself, and he should be put on trial, but, the chances are slim to none that this will happen.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles and piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave. And keep on thinking free. (Moody Blues)

of course we all know the higher ups in NSA (as well as IRS and other three letter groups) can lie all they want to Congress or even under oath - and nothing gets done to them.

Interview: https://ia601301.us.archive.org/27/item ... nglish.ogv

MSNBC interrupts interview with Congresswoman Jane Harman regarding NSA and secrecy/security to report on the arrest of J. Bieber (!).



Absolutely outrageous.
We're cooked.

The strange thing is this: I would guess television viewers are primarily an aging demographic (maybe 35 and older? certainly not bieber's followers).
For if it profit, none dare call it Treason.
