Thom Hartmann: How your privacy & emails may take a major hit this week

[thomhartmann]

Amie Stepanovich, Electronic Privacy Information Center, joins Thom Hartmann. If the head of the CIA can't hide his emails from the federal government - what chance do you and I have of keeping e-mails private? Well if Congress has it's way - you and I don't stand a chance at all.

1. 9/11

destroyed so much of our liberty. We don't even know if the fascist set it up to be able to enact something as heinous as the Patriot Act. Ohhh, Protect me! Protect me! lead me! lead me! Yeah right, mr and ms lemming. Right off the cliff or if you prefer to the kool aid stand.

2. Very well put heaven05! n/t

3. I have believed a false flag fascist state set it up from the very beginning. I also believe

the US is an Inverse Fascist State right now!

[RoccoR5955]

4. That's why

9/11 was an inside job. They wanted to take away our liberties all along. What better way than a false flag operation, where some "terrorists" launch an attack. Then they put the fear into people that if they don't give up liberties they will not catch the terrorists.
It was staged by the CIA and Mossad. Mossad, who wants to see a war in the Middle East, so that Israel can usurp more land, because their "settlements" are getting a bit too densely populated, among other reasons.
The CIA with the help of PFAW, wanted a "New Pearl Harbor," so that the US, and other corporatocracies can take over the natural resources in the area. Working with Mossad, they can give the Israelis more land, as part of a reciprocal deal.

5. I'm not arguing about the rest of what you said, but why in the world would PFAW

that is, People for the American Way - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_For_the_American_Way
have been involved?

I think you must have it confused with PNAC (Project for the New American Century). The PNAC is the group that specifically made the reference to a "New Pearl Harbor."

[heaven05]

6. you

are right. I read their manifesto, bunch of dangerous corporate-fascist-imperialist people spouting incendiary gobbledygook... couched in very fine language mind you. The whole 9/11 cabal is part of PNAC, really.

[RoccoR5955]

9. Sorry my bad. It was PNAC. n/t

7. All I can say is

8. Back in the old days, telephone operators used to be able to eavesdrop on people's conversations

mostly for their own entertainment.

How will this be different? Sounds like we'll be paying govt. workers to waste time eavesdropping on our trivial conversations.

[PDJane]

10. I remember being on a party line.

Yes, I'm old. However, not much different; the whole world listened. My mother used to blow a whistle into the phone; you could hear the phones being slammed down from the living room.

However, I thought we'd grown beyond that.
