OBAMA ADMINISTRATION: Executive Order Grants US Gov’t New Powers Over Communication Systems
Obama: Continually proving himself as bad for civil rights as George W. Bush ever was.
Seizing private communications facilities so that they are silenced? Really?
This is unconstitutional, anti-American, police-state bullshit. The type I’ve come to expect from Obama & Bush.
But oh. It’s to make us safer from a terrorist attack, right? So it’s okay, then. Just like the internet kill switch is okay! When Iran/Libya/Egypt seize communcations, it’s bad. When we do it, it’s good. America, fuck yeah.
And don’t say this was already law, or the executive order would have not been needed. If someplace is communicating something that actually incites violence, there are already laws in place to deal with that.

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION: Attorney General Holder Says Murder Is Legal –
To those who said that NDAA would not be applicable to American citizens…
To those who said that because the law did not modify previous law, it meant that Americans could not be assassinated…
To those who defended the Obama administration, and his appointee, Eric Holder…
…Here is our attorney general directly arguing that assassinating american citizens without judicial oversite is perfectly constitutional.
You see, existing law never needed to be modified. Just clarified by Bush’s actions and Obama’s legitimization of those actions.
And here is our attorney general directly saying it.
There’s no denying it.

LINK: WAR IN AFGHANISTAN: Taliban will rule Afghanistan again, says leaked US report
And once again, the truth comes out: Like every nation to ever invade Afghanistan in the past 150 years, we will leave without significantly changing anything.
Obama’s not stupid, had to have known this, sent in more troops than Bush ever had, and did so after promising to end our unnecessary Bush-era wars. But instead we had more troop deaths under Obama, and lost tons of tax money fighting a fight that made no real difference. Bin Laden wasn’t even found there!
