(5,082 posts)The story is the NSA. I suppose you didn't believe Russell Tice the one who blew the whistle on Bush in 2005. He was a high ranking NSA guy too even though detractors tried to assassinate his character and used the usual propaganda tools. He claimed He was ordered not to follow terrorists but judges, attorneys, journalists, members of Congress including Obama and generals. Why? He said to gain leverage over them. That's a nice way of saying blackmail them to get what you want. The worst of all this is the NYT revelation that NSA supplies DEA with illegally obtained information to track and bust US citizens in the failed and unpopular drug war. We are spending money to keep jails full of marijuana growers and dealers at the state level where NSA feeds illegal cell phone data to cops who are then told to lie to judges, defense attorneys and sometimes even prosecutors as to where the information to bust these people originated. They are instructed to recreate the trail of evidence with what they call parallel reconstruction. This in itself should render every one of those busts illegal as you have a right to contest evidence. The whole justice system is based on lies it turns out...yes most of our justice system is all about drugs. Heads shouldn't just roll...thousands of cops should be in jail for lying in court.
