But, most of them are too cowardly to do it themselves.  They use the power of threats and lies and hope for the best.

There are millions maybe billions of bloggers and we are all vying for attention.

I'd be honored to be on that list but being one of millions of dissident bloggers I am not holding my breath. They just don't have the manpower to go after them all, so, blog away!

If that indeed is the actual sentiment of NSA toward Bloggers, if they ever decide to begin "cleaning-up" the Internet from troublesome Bloggers, you can bet they would start at the top. (Maybe; NSA works in ways that none of us completely understand...) A few high-profile deaths would be sobering to the Blogging community, and lately, it's hard to tell if this is just rhetoric or the sign of the times - when being a patriot can cost you your life.

We've all noted the rise of right-wing mainstream hate rhetoric, and it’s getting worse by the day. The East Coast Avengers recently released a new song with the theme of killing Bill O'Reilly ( Rap group makes waves with O'Reilly 'death threats' ), and while I don't approve of murder in any degree, I can't help chuckling to myself how indignant Bill O'Reilly must feel - and wonder if he has the moral turpitude to look inside himself and honestly ask himself why anyone would produce such a disgusting, but comical, song. I view it as satire and a reply to O'Reilly’s numerous threats and his constant hate rhetoric, but as with anything, we have to hope it doesn't stir someone up who isn't playing with a full deck to begin with...

Government officials that have such an attitude should be released from their jobs and perhaps follow their recent investigations to see what degree of snooping caused them to form such drastic and illegal ideas. If the government is becoming our enemy because we legally use the constitutional right of free speech, we have to ask what happened to democracy and freedom. This would seem to indicate that liberty and freedom may be on the endangered list - just as many of us already are. When will the country wake-up and save themselves and their families from tyranny?

These NSA ppl have been brainwashed into thinking the constitution is their enemy. This is quoting some preacher I saw/heard on CNN during a special program: "There is corruption in having power over others". Well, he hit the nail on the head with NSA, FBI, Homeland Security, TSA and the rest of the corrupted employees that are paid by none other than the US citizens. Basically we are paying them to treat us with NO respect and most often than not, like dung.

It appears they have been using the "death by suicide" on their most hated ppl. That leaves me to conclude that IF they hate you, you may end up "committing suicide". Let's see, we have many of them, even back to Clinton--Vince, The recent DC madam, the anthrax man, et al.

Maybe we should go back say 20 yrs, and count up all the "suicides" of ppl in the limelight. There's someone's hypothesis to begin their essay or article.

Uh uh, not me. If I do any researching, I already have an agenda to work on. It involves my life and health.

In case they are reading, here's wonderful quote from Thomas Paine (probably their enemy as well) :  

"An avidity to punish is always dangerous to Liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of Laws. He that would make his own Liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedence that will reach to himself."

As I see it, that clearly states that whatever they do or to us or Liberty they take from us, they take away from themselves. It will come back to haunt them eventually. Heck, if every single taxpaying citizen stopped paying taxes all at once, these G-men thugs wouldn't have a job for too long. Then they B in a Boat with me. Something for them to think about. But hey, they don't longthink. They don't even consider the Big picture.

Off topic, but about the off shore drilling land grab deal, if they get that land grab (disguised as a drilling deal) and build desalination plants, then they eventually sell us our water. Our water is going to be scarce and wars over water will be numerous. Something else to think about.

What needs to be taught on Political science 101 is that the government is in reality a specific form of 'Continuing criminal enterprise.' Basically, an old extortion murder racket with an assortment of mobbed up hitters pretending to be something that they are not, and that is legitimate.

Going to kill us? They have had 'Ben' running massive internal death squad operations against us for decades if not longer. Our 'Good Americans' ship into this old crown colony an assortment of contract murderers from around the planet. They 'Hit' you, and the "Intelligence agencies" help them flee the country.

This may help you to understand why the central bankers have built such a massive stockpile of nuclear weapons; if you don't like their death squad operations and you intend to bring them to the bar of justice to answer for their crimes against humanity, then they will burn you up before you get the chance.

Here are a few words from a man who learned the truth long ago, Democratic Senator John Stennis who said that "When the people find out what is going on; it is going to blow the Pentagon right out of the water."

So for the 'Hitters' who talk of "Just Killing them" it may be time to make Peace with your world.

Our beloved government has built FEMA prisons all over the country, and now on You Tube there is a video of thousands of plastic coffins stored in warehouses. Who are they for??

Hi folks,

One little thing I've done to hopefully raise awareness of the NSA problem among my own circle of friends & family is to attach a signature to all my outgoing email. It reads as follows:

NOTE: This message may have been intercepted and read by U.S. government agencies including the FBI, CIA, and NSA without notice, legal warrant, or the knowledge of the sender and recipients.

Who knows whether this also triggers one of NSA's filters. Maybe it does. If so, great! More email for them to expend their effort on. Since they're scooping into their system anyway without my consent, let's see if we can at least get one of their computers to spend some time & money on it. Maybe even a human will look at it.

If you like this idea and would like to start using it, I'd like to suggest that you re-word it so that the NSA can't simply reject all messages with this exact text.  Instead, they'll have to be more creative and invest more time & effort on us malcontents. Then re-word it again every few weeks (change the wording, or a capital letter, spacing, whatever). Yes, I know:  given the NSA's massive intelligence vacuum cleaner, we're peeing into the ocean here.  Nevertheless, perhaps we can raise some awareness & at the same time make the NSA's/FBI's/CIA's job a little more difficult.

 Anyone else doing something like this?
