I saved this file in April 2010, don't know the source, link is to a Fox News clip. I urge you to please see it, no matter what you think of Fox, no matter what religion, or party you are.
I am not anti anything except harm to oneself or others. I try to see every person and location as having equal value, equal rights.
As an American citizen; I want my government to serve the needs of it's people first, not other nations, or business interests; and not a national security policy which is based on leading, or in league with any strike first, optional conflicts.
Of course countries spy on each other. "Select" Intelligence, and our security forces enable and plant false info & actions - "synthetic terrorism". This maintains funding for fake solutions to calm our fears; while Congress legally removes our rights, continuing to fund even more, unconstitutional, strike first operations on several foreign soils; digging us further into debt, while our country, and Main Street crumble.
Take action; tell your elected officials what it takes to earn your vote - action by them right now; stand up to end all unconstitutional war, before our nation falls further into decline and collapse.
Here's something to think about when you ask your elected representatives what they are doing with their time away from DC.

Does Your Congressperson Represent You -- Or Israel?
The Congressional recess is a time for elected representatives to be home in their districts, reaching out to their constituents. So why are one in five taking a junket to Israel?

From this 4/10 file; what has changed; what will you do about it?
Get your City/County/State/Fed to update and pass a Resolution to end all optional conflicts, begin with a cease fire for all now. See citiesforpeace.org for details.
Strength through defense. Re-allocate our resources to re-build the US economy, employing Americans to rebuild America well.

you want to know how deep and twisted this wiretapping and datamining watch every one of these you tube video reports that Fox was forced to take off their website back in 2001. The numbers of watches at you tube are not correct (part of the game). These numbers have been the same for over three years.
I keep wondering if part of the effort to give retroactive immunity to telecoms is also to try to protect Amdocs and Comverse Infosys.

Part 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwckJoP7-wg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwckJoP7-wg)
Is this issue part of what they are trying desperately trying to keep the American public from knowing. That these companies wiretapping, datamining systems had a back door into their systems that were compromised by another country or countries?

$33 Billion for War, How Could I Spend Thee on Local Jobs? (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-naiman/33-billion-for-war-how-co_b_549890.html)
Sometime between now and Memorial Day, the House is expected to consider $33 billion more for war in Afghanistan. This "war supplemental" is largely intended to plug the hole in Afghanistan war spending for the current fiscal year caused by the ongoing addition of 30,000 troops in Afghanistan, whose purpose is largely to conduct a military offensive in Kandahar that 94% of the people there say they don't want (https://www.justforeignpolicy.org/node/552#April2010t1), preferring peace negotiations with the Taliban instead.
Of course, by itself the number $33 billion is totally meaningless. To make it meaningful, we need to compare it to something - what else could we do with $33 billion?
A recent missive from the AFL-CIO (https://blog.aflcio.org/2010/04/22/bill-in-congress-would-save-or-create-675000-local-jobs/) gives a compelling answer: we could use $33 billion to put America back to work (https://blog.aflcio.org/2010/04/22/bill-in-congress-would-save-or-create-675000-local-jobs/):
If the Local Jobs for America Act (H.R. 4812) becomes law, it will create or save more than 675,000 local community jobs and more than 250,000 education jobs, according to the latest estimates from the House Education and Labor Committee (https://edlabor.house.gov/newsroom/2010/03/congress-and-mayors-announce-n.shtml).
According to the House Education and Labor Committee (https://edlabor.house.gov/newsroom/2010/03/congress-and-mayors-announce-n.shtml), the bill includes $75 billion over two years for local communities to hold off planned cuts or to hire back workers for local services who have been laid-off because of tight budgets. The bill also includes $24 billion, already approved by the House in December, to help states support 250,000 education jobs, put 5,500 law enforcement officers on the beat, and retain, rehire, and hire firefighters.
Let's therefore put the two year cost of the Local Jobs for America Act at $100 billion, or $50 billion a year.
Now, in order to compare apples and apples, we need to convert the $33 billion for war in Afghanistan to an annual figure - note that the $33 billion just pays for the Afghanistan war through the end of the current fiscal year on September 30. There's some debate about when the Pentagon will actually finish burning through the money it's already been given; let's start our count on June 1. In that case, $33 billion pays for four months of war in Afghanistan, for an annualized cost of $99 billion. In other words, the cost of the Local Jobs for America Act is half of the cost of continuing the war in Afghanistan.
Or we could look at it this way: suppose we decided to pay the two-year cost of the Local Jobs for America Act by shortening the war in Afghanistan. By how much time would we have to shorten the war? We'd have to shorten it by at least a year.
Now, if only there were a bill in Congress that would likely shorten the war in Afghanistan by at least a year.
Fortunately, there is. Last week, Senator Feingold and Representative McGovern introduced companion legislation "to require a plan for the safe, orderly, and expeditious redeployment of United States Armed Forces from Afghanistan." This legislation requires the President to establish a timetable for military withdrawal from Afghanistan. Since the current deadline for U.S. military withdrawal is nonexistent, I think it's fair to say that if this bill becomes law, the war is likely to be shortened by at least a year.
If you want your representatives in Congress to support the Local Jobs for America Act, and they say, "that's a great idea, but we have to pay for it," then encourage them to support the Feingold-McGovern bill (https://www.justforeignpolicy.org/act/feingold-mcgovern).
