I also find amusing the hypocritical behavior of the elite:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nRecall how former Democratic Rep. Jane Harman &#8211; one of the most outspoken defenders of the illegal Bush National Security Agency (NSA) warrantless eavesdropping program &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/article22477.htm\">suddenly began sounding like an irate, life-long ACLU privacy activist<\/a> when it was revealed that the NSA had eavesdropped on her private communications with a suspected Israeli agent over alleged attempts to intervene on behalf of AIPAC officials accused of espionage. Overnight, one of the Surveillance State&#8217;s chief assets, the former ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, transformed into a vocal privacy proponent because now it was her activities, rather than those of powerless citizens, which were invaded.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Maybe the national security state will devour itself and be gone in a puff of greasy smoke.  However, I just can&#8217;t seem to bring myself to believe that will happen; these sorts of things are very difficult to eradicate once in place.  They will just implement a layer of political correctness so only little people get bit on the ass as originally intended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FBI&#8217;s abuse of the surveillance state is the real scandal needing investigation That the stars of America&#8217;s national security establishment are being devoured by out-of-control surveillance is a form of sweet justice http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/commentisfree\/2012\/nov\/13\/petraeus-surveillance-state-fbi As Glenn put it: &#8220;&#8230;there is some sweet justice in having the stars of America&#8217;s national security state destroyed by the very &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/sol-biotech.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/2012\/11\/13\/bit-on-the-ass-by-the-police-state\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Bit on the ass by the police state&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,7,3,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-government","category-infosec","category-politics","category-society"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sol-biotech.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sol-biotech.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sol-biotech.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sol-biotech.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sol-biotech.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1643"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sol-biotech.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1643\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1644,"href":"https:\/\/sol-biotech.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1643\/revisions\/1644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sol-biotech.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sol-biotech.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sol-biotech.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
