Obama even cited Paul Revere, in remarks clearly designed to justify government spying on its own citizens. To virtually no one's surprise, the president's "reforms" will not stop NSA's mass spying, and this was immediately evident in the opening remarks of Obama's speech when he attempted to argue that in times of war, the US has always used surveillance to secure freedom. "At the dawn of our Republic, a small, secret surveillance committee borne out of the "The Sons of Liberty" was established in Boston." Obama stated. "The group's members included Paul Revere, and at night they would patrol the streets, reporting back any signs that the British were preparing raids against America's early Patriots." Note how in the first sentence, using incredibly Orwellian tactics, Obama has twisted the facts to link spying to patriotism, and to suggest that the earliest American icons were engaged in the same sort of activity as today's NSA. Obama then went on to cite the Civil War, World War II, and the Cold War, arguing that "Throughout American history, intelligence has helped secure our country and our freedoms." Anyone with any shred of intelligence knows that comparing the actions of Paul Revere, who famously alerted the Colonial militia to the approach of British forces before the battles of Lexington and Concord, is in no way comparable to NSA mass spying. Was Paul Revere covertly spying on his own people? Was he collecting records of all their communications, even if they were completely innocent and not suspected of doing any wrong? Of course not, to argue so is completely asinine. Senator Rand Paul immediately took to the airwaves on CNN to challenge Obama's characterization of Paul Revere as a proto-spy: "Paul Revere was warning us that the British were coming. He wasn't warning us that the Americans were coming." Paul noted. Alex gets legal activist and Judicial Watch founder Larry Klayman's take on Obama's touted NSA reforms. Klayman has taken flak from the mainstream media after winning a lawsuit against the NSA, which led a U.S. District Court Judge to declare the monitoring of Americans' phone calls likely a violation of the Fourth Amendment. The Washington Post also hilariously pointed out in a blog post that "if the British Redcoats had access to the type of metadata and processing power the NSA does today, Revere probably would have been caught before he could go on his legendary midnight ride." Indeed, Revere would have been outed as a "terrorist". obama nsa reform classified documents politics speech president "united states" "national security" digital information "meta data" patriot u.s. usa america historic future communications speech liberty surveillance "data collection" government "3rd party" business 2014 cctv spy spying "internet privacy" defense vpn anonymous corporate secure law legal rights "u.s. citizen" "american citizen" media news newspaper journalism journalist system tech technology secret "agenda nwo" rt russia today farrakhan speech gerald celente trends in the news lindsey williams glenn beck 4th amendment we are change david icke edward snowden bill of rights ron paul rand paul civil liberty dream world patriot act anonymous constitution section 215 fbi cia domestic terrorist puppet Speaking of terrorists, it was only a matter of minutes before the president invoked 9/11 in his speech, following pre-determined NSA talking points in order to further justify the unconstitutional practices of the NSA. "The horror of September 11 brought these issues to the fore. Across the political spectrum, Americans recognized that we had to adapt to a world in which a bomb could be built in a basement, and our electric grid could be shut down by operators an ocean away." said Obama. Obama then argued, in the face of independent studies that suggest otherwise, that the NSA spying has "prevented multiple attacks and saved innocent lives -- not just here in the United States, but around the globe as well." He also argued, in the face of analysis by privacy and constitutional experts, that there have been no abuses connected to the NSA mass spying program. "Nothing in that initial review, and nothing that I have learned since, indicated that our intelligence community has sought to violate the law or is cavalier about the civil liberties of their fellow citizens." said Obama. google prism
