Or that's when you notice which people have no idea the vote had nothing to do with PRISM, it was about the US provider phone call records.

Hell, they even spell out it's "another program" in the damn article.
So "In a 205-217 vote, lawmakers rejected an effort to restrict the National Security Agency's (NSA) ability to collect electronic information." Does not include PRISIM which is the program designed to collect email, skype web searches and god knows what else from Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Apple etc?

Reading the article more you are correct it doesn't. Why would the bill only stop funding to the phone part and not the online survalience part? What kind of shitty bill is that. One would naturally assume that hey they are introducing a bill to stop the NSA from spying on its own citizens, it would including email, skype, web searches, AND phone meta tagging. What a useless fuck, they cannot even craft "outrage" bills properly.

Ultimately all this shit is retarded, using my American mother and her friends who could be called an "average" voters as in they are about as informed as mainstream news can get someone informed, as long as the people who want to continue this stay on narrative, it probably won't stop because the outrage is sadly a vocal minority simply because the majority has no fucking clue about what exactly is going on with this.

You mean Michael Hastings the journalist? Just check out some of his interviews/articles he did and the highly suspicious nature of his fatal crash.
Yeah, I just couldn't remember his name and I didn't have time to research while at work.

Yeah. But I would bet that even among people who are all outraged at the NSA stealing their megahertz, a decent majority of them will still vote to reelect their rep to the House. Nothing ever changes.

What are you talking about? Cars always explode when they hit things. I've seen it happen many times on the Simpsons and in many Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. -_-
The cause of the crash itself might be suspicious, but the car catching fire isn't. The fucking engine block was a hundred feet down the road, you idiot. No shit the fuel tank ruptured.

Are there pictures of the crash? Engine block separated from car sounds like a doozey.

So again, maybe the cause of the crash is suspicious. But if you hit a tree at 100mph and the engine and tranny of your car goes flying out the front, it stands to reason that the fuel tank is probably going to rupture as well.

I mean wouldn't it be easier to get one of your black agents to toss on a hoodie and just shoot him with a gun? Not like that's gonna make page1 in L.A.

Why do all this extravagant shit just to kill a dude? Bullets work just fine.

Bullets can and will always be traced after the fact. That potentially complicates things. Exploding cars leave no long term evidence, especially when you roll in your own people to manage the crime scene. Not saying he was killed, but a fake crash is probably the tidiest way to take out a reporter and leave no trail to follow.

fake crashes are how they kill all the reporters in the movies. It makes sense.

Hollywood is a front for the lizardjews. They desensitize us to what they're actually doing by writing movies involving their techniques.

"Haha, like in that movie?"

"YES! Exactly like in that movie!"

Well realistically, if a reporter who is a known whistleblower turns up with a bullet in him, people are going to dig into it and not be ridiculed for doing so. Same dude's car or plane crashes and anyone asking questions about it can be marginalized as a tinfoil hat wearing herpderp. Again, not saying he was popped, but if he was this is the way to do it.

That's exactly the thing. If you roll in your own people to manage the crime scene, which is pretty much a given with this, disappearing/swapping a bullet is WAY less hassle than moving an engine 500 yards. Why not just shoot him in the face?

It's one of those "they have to be geniuses while being incompetent" setups.

Unless that's what they WANT us to think!

Say what? How do they do that, exactly? I mean, I'm no criminal mastermind, but even I know that they first need to find the gun they think fired the bullet before they can begin to match them up. And then, if the gun had a file run down the barrel, they will never get a ballistics match. Or better yet, if it just had the barrel replaced, then they wouldn't even be able to tell it had been tampered with.

That makes sense though.

Did anyone ever find anything about what he was working on?
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/56636

By Doug Hagmann:
Based on my research as a professionally licensed investigator with nearly 30 years of experience, I wish to be on record that it is my professional opinion that investigative journalist Michael Hastings was murdered.

According to most recent investigative findings, it appears that Mr. Hastings made multiple contacts with sources directly associated with the illegal NSA domestic spying program, and either recently acquired materials and/or information about the extent of, the targets of, and the recipients of the information of domestic spying program. It is speculated that the latter information was of particular concern to as yet unidentified individuals holding positions of authority within the U.S. Department of Defense and their subcontractors, as well as certain parties within the Executive branch of the United States government. Investigation and research suggests that Mr. Hastings might have obtained, or arranged to obtain information pertaining to the role of a particular high-ranking officer within the U.S. military overseeing the domestic aspects of the NSA project.

If I was gonna do it, I wouldn't even blow up his car with my fancy gadget (Which might actually exist -- putting onboard computers in your cars is retarded)


I'd just put black widows under the driver seat and then let people go insane trying to figure out how black widows hatched out in his car. I mean lots of black widows. Hungry ones.

That way you get to use your fancy gadget later.

Expect to find out in 50 years about a secret amendment/vote/entente between Congress and the NSA where the NSA promises to stop spying on Congress' phones in return for this vote.
We don't need to wait. From Snowden's QA:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013...-whistleblower

Edward Snowden_sl said:
The US Person / foreigner distinction is not a reasonable substitute for individualized suspicion, and is only applied to improve support for the program. This is the precise reason that NSA provides Congress with a special immunity to its surveillance.
I wondered why this claim didn't get more press. It seemed significant to me.
