His reasoning is wrong but I think he is right in a fundamental sense. People in the government who participate in assaulting our civil liberties (or do nothing to stop it), like Podesta, Blumenthal, Panetta, Clinton, Obama etc. do not have the right to privacy..just like us. <br /><br />The issue is that the government knows almost everything about us but the inverse is not even close to being true. The only privacy you have is when you are not a “person of interest”. That is If you did not participate in Occupy, did not protest an oil pipeline, not a member of black lives matter, etc. then you are not a person of interest. Thus they will probably not act on what they know about you. Which at the end of the day is NOT really privacy in any effective sense. You cannot exercise your right to free speech and assembly without putting yourself economically and physically in jeopardy. <br /><br />This is not differential calculus. If the government denies us our right to privacy then those who are in government who abuse civil rights, or are in a position to rectify it and then don’t even try, then…Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362118380503827191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-57676874522528872692016-10-14T00:20:38.089-05:002016-10-14T00:20:38.089-05:00Same schmuck called Sputnik's agitprop bomb &q...Same schmuck called Sputnik's agitprop bomb "misreported" because they later took it down.<br />NSA (very much not DFHs) & German intel (ditto) both say there's proof it was Russia.<br />To which GG replies "Nuh-uhh!"<br /><br />Glennzilla knows damn well he's peddling shite & plainly could care less.jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840719620959481121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-53413631045730746162016-10-13T18:06:15.209-05:002016-10-13T18:06:15.209-05:00For me, the slowly growing realization among the K...For me, the slowly growing realization among the Kossack purity brigade - that perhaps the man is not so perfect as they had fantasized - is recompense enough.

Last I heard, Omidyar was pulling his support because Greenwald was spending all his time trying to start slap-fights on Twitter rather than investigating anything. Hard to blame him - when your notion of "journalism" entails waiting for someone to hand you stolen documents, you must end up with a lot of free time. Most people would write a novel or their memoirs, but calling people fascists and sending your flying monkeys to harass actual journalists must be very fulfilling too.Andrew Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05780648896926049012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-79595435249979069692016-10-13T09:56:57.771-05:002016-10-13T09:56:57.771-05:00As always in Glennie Pie's world, some animals...As always in Glennie Pie's world, some animals are more equal than others. <br /><br />I think he's just a little bit scared.
