Edward Snowden: The Hegelian Dialectic

[eric2136]

Sigh...Are we supposed to believe that a devil worshipper can serve at the highest levels of the military industrial security complex? Can such claims be credible? Come on Eric...that would make anyone else want to start talking gibberish about their mothers LOL

I don't hate you man but if you read posts #140 the txts clear states that "You need to calm down and you need to take it easy." Take care:wave:

There is no we, just your dumb ass, and I don't give a fuck what you believe. Michael Aquino has been a notorious public figure for 40 years you imbecile, there is no mystery as to his identity. Notwithstanding the fucking newspaper article which I provided for you which you could easily have researched for yourself, Aquino's military and satanic identity is part of official legal records, and codified case law, as part of a satanic child molestation case he was charged with while in the active army reserves:

So now I just kinda feel bad for being cross with you, because now I'm starting to believe you are really slow. For a grown man to be quoting his mom…well, I just don't know what to say about that, other than goodbye, and good riddance LOL !

And you better check your facts before you EVER have the audacity to challenge me on something I say. Now get the fuck out, and quit wasting my time !

Regarding Michael Aquino, Official Federal Court documents state the following:

_____________________

1991, July, San Francisco, CA, Satanist Michael A. Aquino v. Michael P.W. Stone, Secretary of the Army, 768 F.Supp. 529; 957 F.2d 139,

Michael Aquino, the founder of a Satanist group, Temple of Set, was a Lt. Col in the Army Active Reserves. After the Presidio Day Care case, he sued the Army after they "titled" him under an investigatory report for indecent acts with a child, sodomy, conspiracy, kidnapping, and false swearing, and for his dismissal from the active reserves.

"Aquino contends that evidence collected by the Army CID did not justify its creating an investigation report titled under his name and that those involved with the investigation were motivated to remove him from the Army because he is the founder of the Temple of Set, a satanist religion."

"Decision of Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) to title investigation report with Army Reserve Officer's name and its subsequent decision not to remove his name from title block properly resulted from relevant considerations and was not tainted by consideration of officer's satanist religious beliefs and pressure from United States Senator. 5 U.S.C.A. 706(2)(A)." [957 F.2d 139]

"{1} In 1990 a continuation board of the Army Reserve recommended discontinuing Aquino's service in the Reserve, and he was processed out of the Army."

Aquino was never criminally charged and the Army titled him 3 months after the criminal statute of limitations ran. Aquino's lawsuit against the Army was dismissed...

That's what a whistleblower is, Bob. But it has nothing to do with the documents not belonging to him, it has to do with the non-disclosure agreement which he signed. Whistleblowers, however, are exempt from such agreements when they are using the documents and information to disclose the illegal activities of their superiors, for the benefit of the public interest.

Without the documents to substantiate his claims, folks like you would be calling him a liar. How else would you suppose he could prove that what he was saying was true ?

Where is this written?

A whistleblower (whistle-blower or whistle blower)[1] is a person who exposes misconduct, alleged dishonest or illegal activity occurring in an organization. The alleged misconduct may be classified in many ways; for example, a violation of a law, rule, regulation and/or a direct threat to public interest, such as fraud, health and safety violations, and corruption. Whistleblowers may make their allegations internally (for example, to other people within the accused organization) or externally (to regulators, law enforcement agencies, to the media or to groups concerned with the issues).

"… Snowden is a whistleblower. It is actually not a hard question to answer. The Whistleblower Protection Act protects "any disclosure" that a covered employee reasonably believes evidences "any violation of any law, rule, or regulation," or "gross mismanagement, a gross waste of funds, and abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety."

In the two months since Snowden's alleged disclosures, no fewer than five lawsuits have been filed challenging the legality of the surveillance programs he exposed. The author of the Patriot Act, Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), called the scope of data collection revealed in one of the leaked Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court orders "incredibly troubling," and "an overbroad interpretation of the Act" that "raise questions about whether our constitutional rights are secure."

It doesn't end there. Over a dozen bills have been introduced in Congress to narrow these now public surveillance authorities and increase transparency regarding continuing programs. … [C]learly [Snowden]had a reasonable belief the documents he leaked to the news media revealed government illegality and abuse of authority…"As a whistleblower, Snowden is protected, by law, from discrimination. Protection from discrimination means that an employer cannot retaliate by taking "adverse action" against workers. http://www.whistleblowers.gov

[bobjustbob]

Your definition doesn't say he is exempt from the law.

 

[eric2136]

Your definition doesn't say he is exempt from the law.

He is not exempt from the law regarding whistleblowers, on the contrary, he is protected by the The Whistleblower Protection Act, as a whistleblower, from discrimination and retaliation by the NSA or other governmental entities.

 

[bobjustbob]

He is not exempt from the law regarding whistleblowers, on the contrary, he is protected by the The Whistleblower Protection Act, as a whistleblower, from discrimination and retaliation by the NSA or other governmental entities.

After reading The Whistleblower Protection Act you are right. He should be protected.

 

[eric2136]

After reading The Whistleblower Protection Act you are right. He should be protected.

Yes, Bob, you are correct ! And so why, then, did he feel it necessary to flee the country if the law should be on his side ? The answer to this question is what has so many people in America, and around the world, so concerned.

 

[Wormwood09]

Obama should thank him for letting him know this was going on. Because he says he didn't know so much, like anything else they get caught doing like Fast And Furious. (I remember when Obama used to say 90% of their guns came from the U.S. Now I guess he knows why lol)

But yeah, I think if Obama is going with his usual incompetence plea, then he owes Edward Snowden a big thank you for letting him know what the government is doing.

 

[eric2136]

Obama and the majority of other key government figures belong to the same and/or similar secret societies, overall there isn't much difference between most of them, although somebody like you should bet your sweet ass that you have Obama as president, He at least promotes the notion of giving idiot peasants some semblance of a fighting chance.

Tech industry: Obama's NSA reforms 'insufficient'

After delivering a speech about NSA Surveillance: National Security Agency surveillance, President Barack Obama speaks at the Justice Department.

Members of the tech industry appreciated President Obama's speech on reforms to the NSA surveillance program, but feel that he did not go far enough.

SAN FRANCISCO — Technology companies and industry groups took President Barack Obama's speech on U.S. surveillance as a step in the right direction, but chided him for not embracing more dramatic reforms to protect people's privacy and the economic interests of American companies that generate most of their revenue overseas.

"The president's speech was empathetic, balanced and thoughtful, but insufficient to meet the real needs of our globally connected world and a free Internet," said Ed Black, president of the Computer & Communications Industry Association, a group that represents Google, Microsoft, Facebook and other technology companies upset about the NSA's broad surveillance of online communications.

On Friday, the president called for ending the government's control of phone data from hundreds of millions of Americans and ordered intelligence agencies to get a court's permission before accessing such records. He also issued a directive that intelligence-gathering can't be employed to suppress criticism of the United States or provide a competitive advantage to U.S. companies.

In addition, the president directed Attorney General Eric Holder and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to consider whether new privacy safeguards could be added to online data gathering. Although those activities are only meant to target people outside the U.S. as part of national security investigations, information on Americans sometimes gets swept up in the collection.

Eight of the world's best-known technology companies underscored their common interest in curbing the NSA by releasing a joint, measured critique of Obama's proposal. They applauded the commitment to more transparency and more privacy protections for non-U.S. citizens, but also stressed that the president didn't address all their concerns.

"Additional steps are needed on other important issues, so we'll continue to work with the administration and Congress to keep the momentum going and advocate for reforms consistent with the principles we outlined in December," said the statement from Google, Apple, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and AOL.

In his speech, Obama also directed Holder and Clapper to look into new restrictions on the length of time the U.S. can hold data collected overseas and the extent to which that data is used. He added that the U.S. won't spy on regular people who don't threaten national security.

But nothing he said is likely to diminish the potential losses facing the U.S. technology industry, said Daniel Castro, a senior analyst for the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a Washington D.C. think tank.

The ITIF estimates that the doubts raised by the NSA spying could cost U.S. companies as much as $35 billion over the next three years.

In the aftermath of recent NSA leaks, the companies set aside their competitive differences to come together and urge Obama to curtail the NSA's online snooping and lift restrictions that prevent companies from publicly disclosing specifics about how frequently they are asked to turn over their users' personal information in the name of national security.

Obama did agree to at least one major concession to the technology industry by pledging "to make public more information than ever before about the orders they have received to provide data to the government." The companies are hoping greater transparency will show that the U.S. government has only been demanding information about a very small fraction of their vast audiences.

But the promise of more disclosure didn't satisfy two different groups focused on online privacy and other digital rights.

"Far more needs to be done to restore the faith of the American people and repair the damage done globally to the U.S. reputation as a defender of human rights on the Internet," said Greg Nojeim, senior counsel at the Center for Democracy & Technology.

Cindy Cohn, legal director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation believes there's still a long way to go. "Now it's up to the courts, Congress, and the public to ensure that real reform happens, including stopping all bulk surveillance — not just telephone records collection," she said.

Recent revelations about how much information the U.S. government has been vacuuming off the Internet threaten to undercut the future profits of technology companies that depend on the trust of Web surfers and corporate customers.

U.S. Internet companies are worried that more people, especially those living outside the U.S., will use their products less frequently if they believe their personal data is being scooped up and stored by the U.S. government.

Less online traffic would result in fewer opportunities to sell the ads that bring in most of the revenue at companies such as Google, Facebook and Yahoo. There is also concern that foreigners will be reluctant to do business with a wide range of U.S. companies that sell online storage and software applications that require an Internet connection.

Obama's proposal made "progress on the privacy side, but it doesn't address the economic issues," Castro said. "I don't see anything in the speech that will prevent companies in other countries from using what the NSA is doing to gain a competitive advantage over the U.S. companies."

NSA Chief Fired Amongst Heavy Criticism Over Charges Of Illegal Data Mining. President Obama Nominates Replacement
http://news.msn.com/us/obama-administration-nominates-new-nsa-chief

President Barack Obama has nominated Navy Vice Admiral Michael Rogers, now head of U.S. Fleet Cyber Command, to head the National Security Agency.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Navy's top cyber warrior was nominated by President Barack Obama on Thursday to head the National Security Agency at a time when the embattled unit is under fire for spying on Americans and allies.

Navy Vice Admiral Michael Rogers, the head of U.S. Fleet Cyber Command, is not expected immediately to change the NSA, shaken by revelations by former contractor Edward Snowden.

If confirmed by the Senate, Rogers would take over as head of both the NSA and the military's Cyber Command from Army General Keith Alexander, who is likely to retire in March or April.

A 30-year Navy veteran, Rogers is a trained cryptologist.

"This is a critical time for the NSA, and Vice Admiral Rogers would bring extraordinary and unique qualifications to this position as the agency continues its vital mission and implements President Obama's reforms," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in a statement.

"I am also confident that Admiral Rogers has the wisdom to help balance the demands of security, privacy and liberty in our digital age," Hagel said.

The NSA is under fire for monitoring the communications of U.S. friends and allies, as well as those of U.S. enemies, with a sweeping eavesdropping program whose scope was disclosed to the media by Snowden.

It has been criticized for collecting vast amounts of metadata from the telephone calls of American citizens, information that could be mined to trace potential security threats.

In a major speech earlier this month, Obama said he was banning eavesdropping on the leaders of allied countries and would begin reining in the collection of Americans' phone data.

Rogers will also lead Cyber Command, the military force responsible for defending the United States against cyber attacks.

Obama initially had considered splitting the leadership of the two organizations, but decided against it.

Hagel also said Rick Ledgett had been appointed as deputy director and senior civilian leader of the NSA. He replaces Chris Inglis, who retired this month.
