“Yes, I believe it is in the nation’s best interest to put all the phone records into a lockbox that we could search.”
– General Keith B. Alexander, Director of the NSA, September 2013
These government chimpanzees are truly amazing.
Despite an interminable series of embarrassing scandals, they just dig their heels in further.
If they get caught spying on world leaders, they say it was for national security. If they get caught spying on citizens, they say it’s good for the nation. If they get hauled in front of Congress, they reject any idea of limiting their power.
There’s not a single bit of remorse.
Just like central bankers who keep printing money at all costs, these security spooks truly believe that their actions are righteous… and effective.
