FEAR PORN SELLS..

But the FBI is a bit perturbed about the reporting of the San Bernardino shootings..

This is the wording from reporter Erik Wemple at the WASHINGTON POST:

A whoa moment here: FBI Director James B. Comey today told the media that the suspected assailants in the San Bernardino, Calif., massacre — Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik — wrote private messages to each other stating support for jihad. However: “So far, in this investigation we have found no evidence of posting on social media by either of them at that period in time and thereafter reflecting their commitment to jihad or to martyrdom. I’ve seen some reporting on that, and that’s a garble,” Comey said at a media availability during an event in New York City.

Maybe you should read that again. “No evidence” of something Jihad related.. ISIS related.. 

The smoking gun to connect this to a bigger issue of terrorism seems to be weak at best.

But that never mattered.. fear always win. Doesn’t it?
Nothing to fear but fear itself? The same person who said that also set up internment camps that later would be viewed as repulsive.

Yes fear wins. Facts lose.

N.S.A. Collecting Millions of Faces From Web Images

We already knew the database was extensive.. we already knew they were collecting information. And we already assumed they had our faces.

Our selfies..
Our couplies..
And doublies..
Or whatever elseies we will be coming up withie..

Have we surrendered our privacy for the fleeting moment of vain attention?  Or is this just a product of the future being now? 

It’s a big big world in a biometric land..
We are strangers in it.

I hope you smile! 
You’re on camera.

A Smoking Gun bombshell: Al Sharpton's Secret Work As FBI Informant

The SMOKING GUN reports it, I can add no more:

When friends and family members gathered recently at the White House for a private celebration of Michelle Obama’s 50th birthday, one of the invited partygoers was a former paid FBI Mafia informant.

That same man attended February’s state dinner in honor of French President Francois Hollande. He was seated with his girlfriend at a table adjacent to President Barack Obama, who is likely unaware that, according to federal agents, his guest once interacted with members of four of New York City’s five organized crime families. He even secretly taped some of those wiseguys using a briefcase that FBI technicians outfitted with a recording device.

AND MORE:

The high-profile Obama supporter was also on the dais atop the U.S. Capitol steps last year when the president was sworn in for a second term. He was seated in front of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, two rows behind Beyonce and Jay Z, and about 20 feet from Eric Holder, the country’s top law enforcement officer. As head of the Department of Justice, Attorney General Holder leads an agency that once reported that Obama’s inauguration guest also had La Cosa Nostra contacts beyond Gotham, and engaged in “conversations with LCN members from other parts of the United States.”

There is a ton more to the story at the SMOKING GUN

More than 100 teens rescued in weekend sex-trafficking raids, FBI says

More than 100 teenagers many of them children from broken homes were rescued over the weekend in a sex-trafficking crackdown that swept more than 70 cities, the FBI said Monday. The youngest victim was 13 years old, the agency said. The sting resulted in the arre &

Surely disgusting to know this takes place.. and amazing that the FBI was able to bust up some of the pestilence that plagues this planet..

They got 100. But there’s thousands, if not millions, more to go..

It’s Snowden-slime time. 

Get ready.

He leaked big information about what the government does to surveil people. And now embarrassing photos are being sent online of him in 2002 (when he was much,  much younger) .. if this is the worst they got?? well.. that’s not bad. But I am sure his calls were traced and recorded too. So get ready for that.

Be a star! Ask for your FBI file.. But would you post it on Facebook?

You can Google your own name.. you can deeply search images on Facebook.. but do you really want to know what is known about you but the ‘powers that be?’ By the man?

A new pop industry has developed helping you request your NSA or FBI file from the government! 

It’s called GetmyFBIfile.com and it’s free of charge.. Ahhhh.. yes, the creativity of the net..

Of course you can just do it the ‘old fashioned’ way and ask for the file yourself from the FBI. But … asking for a file perhaps creates a file that didn’t exist to begin with? Oh the irony.. What to do, what to do..

This is Edward Snowden. He is 29. And he is the leaker who told everything and anything about the NSA and the FBI to the UK GUARDIAN.

He also explained to the GUARDIAN as to why..

He spoke about his actions in 12 minute interview posted on the GUARIDAN.. He defended Bradley Manning, and on whether what he did was a crime, he said “we have seen enough criminality on the part of the government.”

He said ‘nothing good’ is going to happen to him. . And now he lives in Hong Kong

He voted for Barack Obama in 2008.

Clearly he wouldn’t do the same now.

This is a major story.. perhaps the story of the year..decade.. our age? This is the main issue at hand right now. Terrorism and defeating it, but defending person liberty and cherishing what makes America great.

Some may wish Snowden ”disappears” as was overheard at a security conference about the leaker and the journalist who reported these secrets over the past week… Some may hail him as a hero. 

Either way, is it fair to say the investigation into the leaking of this classified information should now be over..? The Boundless Informant has now revealed his face..

Documents: U.S. mining data from 9 leading Internet firms; companies deny knowledge

U.S. intelligence has access to the servers of nine Internet companies as part of top-secret effort.

I suppose if the government would have attempted to extract data from Tumblr servers, they would have consistently received the same message that users typically receive when they try to update their websites: ‘WE’RE SORRY, SERVICE IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE’

Wow.. This is a MUST read from the NEW YORK TIMES..

And this was written BEFORE we found out that the FBI and the NSA tap directly into severs of nine top net companies getting just about everything that everybody does online..

Wow..

With the news of the day *(everyday)* this is how I now feel..

Let's answer Al Gore's question

He asked this:

In the digital era, privacy must be a priority. Is it just me, or is secret blanket surveillance obscenely outrageous?

I ask the same. Is it?

The Petreaus Layus update:

Tales of sex, scandals, and the CIA.. days after General Petreaus resigned over a sex scandal with Paula Broadwell and shocked the nation (but not Eric cantor) comes this new question: Did Petreaus’ mistress reveal information on Benghazi?

The FBI knew about the Petreaus affair in the summer..

Not the first time that a sloppy email chain was associated with David Petreaus..

Lawmakers press for Petreaus testimony on Libya despite affair scandal..

Now information is being revealed on the ‘second woman’ associated with the Petreaus scandal..

Will Obama’s second term be littered with scandal and upheaval?

Some more interesting UFO news being revealed: J Edgar Hoover's FBI took UFOs seriously..

This comes on the heels (but but in J Edgar’s heels) of yesterday’s revelations that John F. Kennedy wanted information on UFOs only ten days before he was assassinated in November 1963.

The FBI vault has some cool stuff .. why certain things have been released now, though? I think we can all speculate until the cows come home—with their insides torn out and mutilated by aliens.
