Big Dan's Big News Feb 3, 2009

ATTENTION: Right now! (8pm EST) "The Spy Factory" is on PBS/NOVA!!! Put it on!!!

The New Thought Police: The NSA Wants to Know How You Think—Maybe Even What You Think. In George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984, a civil servant named Winston Smith (played in the 1955 movie by Edmond O'Brien, above) loses all privacy as Big Brother and his Thought Police bring him under constant surveillance. Is the NSA today's Big Brother?

See my post on it:

Israeli Wiretappers, the NSA, and 9/11

The Spy Factory homepage

Was James Bamford told he couldn't get this "Spy Factory" NOVA thing on PBS without pulling all references to Israeli Wiretapping companies? It's the only conclusion I can come to, because there is no mention of it in the NOVA special on PBS. But he says it in this video below AND in his book... What more proof do you need, that people behind the scenes are censoring things against the Israelis on ANBCBSNNX and PBS? This got the "Israeli Media Censor" routine!!!

Below: Look at James Bamford on non-corporate/non-government TV - REAL public TV Democracy NOW!...NOT censored: Israeli Wiretappers tapping Americans phones. Along with the mass surveillance being conducted on all U.S. users of AT&T and Verizon by Narus and Verint, (according to Bamford), two other Israeli-owned companies, Amdocs and NICE Systems, have their fingers in the wiretapping pie as well. If Ketcham and Bamford are correct, (so far, no lawsuits), then the National "Security" Agency has thrown the "National Security" of the United States under the bus.

I'm not guessing...I'm telling you: James Bamford had to have been told to pull any reference to Israeli wiretapping companies tapping Americans!

Half of NEPA Catholic churches shutting down, sayeth the floaty guy in the sky...Big Dan's exclusive transcript of Bishop Martino's sermon: "Oh, Lordy! Great old bearded guy floating around in the sky who needeth money! Ye wanteth thee
churches in NEPA shut down.
Half of them. Oh holy clusters of fucketh. Those who are against thee floaty bearded guy shutting down of churches, are against thee. Not against me. Even though I'm the one doing this. Thou hath striketh his mighty sword against thy evil Catholic teachers union, too! And hath previously shut down thy lousy catholic schools so kids must travel dangerously further. Hallelujiah!!! Those who are againt these things, are againt THEE, not ME! Even though I'm the one doing it. You hath worked your miracles through me via thy mobsters, and millions in pedofile hush money, but I am only the lowly messenger of thine word. It's not me, it's thee! Beardy floaty guy in the sky told me to tell you to VOTE REPUBLICAN! Let us partaketh of thine Dominus Nabisco wafers, oh 'guy in the sky'! I thinketh we still have some of those wafers. And let us still have enough money for our funny hats and robes, wherever it may be that selleth them. Why aren't you stopping all of this, oh great one? Is it because you are only credited with doing good things? And 'someone else' is always doing the bad things? Why aren't you stopping them, then? You work in mysterious ways, it is not for us to ask logical questions like that! What's that you're saying? I'm doing a 'heckuva job' here in NEPA? Where have I heard that before? Peace be with y'all, and y'all come back now, ya hear??? And don't forget to bring MONEY!!!!!! A-A-A-A-A-AAAAAAAHHHHHH-MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The Pope and the Fonz say: "AAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!! Heckuva job, hatchetman*** Bishop Martino!!!"



***hatchetman - 1. A person assigned or hired to carry out a disagreeable task or unscrupulous order. For example, When it came to firing an employee, Arthur was his boss's hatchet man. This expression originally referred to a hired assassin but in the mid-1900s was transferred to less nefarious enterprises.

RNC counters Hillary with Palin...OOPS! I mean Steele with Obama!

Yes! There is a black guy associated with the Republican Party, you're not seeing things! Maybe he's the black guy who calls Rush Limbaugh and says, "Rush, I'm a black guy, but I agree with everything you say!" The party that brought you the disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina, the financial crisis, and 9/11 - brings you Michael Steele, the new head of the RNC...for "change". The other black guy associated with the GOP is Ken Blackwell, who orchestrated the stolen election of 2004 in Ohio.

Steele spouts the conservative mantra, but like all Republicans, doesn't follow it. Haven't we all heard this before from the Republicans? And you just saw 8 years of Republican rule from the Bush administration and Republican senators and congressmen. You can't paint over rust, even with black paint. This pick should alienate the KKK faction of the GOP's base. Below, Steele continues to claim the Republican Party is "conservative":

Dwight D. Eisenhower: The Republican President Republicans Won't Quote

Eisenhower - the Republican president that today's Republican Party does not want to quote...because they are NOT "conservatives".

President Eisenhower, as a former commanding general of Allied forces in World War II, knew exactly what the implications of having a permanent armaments industry were to the United States. He was also worried about the implications.
"Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations."


The Economic Cost of the Military Industrial Complex
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hope of its children."
These must be the words of some liberal Democratic Senator running for President in 2008. But no, these are the words of Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander during World War II, five decades ago.

The United States, the only superpower remaining on earth, currently spends more on military than the next 45 highest spending countries in the world combined. The U.S. accounts for 48% of the world’s total military spending. Where did the peace dividend from winning the Cold War go?

Eisenhower's farewell speech: "Beware of the Military Industrial Complex"

Another "accomplishment" of the Bush/Republican era: the richest few got obscenely richer, and the others are losing their homes!

Income of 400 richest Americans doubled during Bush era

Forbes 400 Richest Americans List

Let's take the money these guys aren't using, and get everybody health care and houses and educational funding...they're all going to hell anyway:



Rush Limbaugh will be on the air Monday, defending this disproportionate movement of income from middle class to the richest few, telling us that this is "OK", they pay more taxes...he'll leave out the part that they have all the money. He should know...he's one of them!

Below: Marcy Kaptur to her constituents losing their homes to foreclosure - "So I say to the American people, you be squatters in your own homes," said Congresswoman Kaptur before the House of Representatives. "Don't you leave."

She's called on all of her foreclosed-upon constituents to stay in their homes and refuse to leave without "an attorney and a fight".

"If they've had no legal representation of a high quality, I tell them stay in their homes," said Kaptur.
