Telco Immunity - Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind - NOT!
Don’t let the lack of MSM coverage delude you into thinking that the preznits isn’t still insisting on gaining the telcos immunity for their illegal spying activities at the behest of the US government!
From the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation);
Ominous Signs of a Forthcoming “Compromise” on Telco Immunity - Tell the House To Stand Firm
“This morning, CongressDaily reported that Senator Jay Rockefeller is now privately circulating a new ‘compromise’ proposal on surveillance legislation, only a day after it was reported that the telecoms themselves have begun shopping their own ‘compromise’ proposals around the Hill. You may remember Sen. Rockefeller as the force behind the surveillance bill passed by the Senate in February, which included blanket retroactive immunity for phone companies like AT&T that are alleged to have participated in the National Security Agency’s illegal warrantless wiretapping program.”
If you click through to EFF’s article you now see that the proponents of this legislation have the impression they can treat you and I like we’re ignorant and useless. What these clowns have done is alter the previous crap cosmetically so it looks different yet affords the criminals the same exact protection the originally proposed legislation did. So we must be idiots - they think we won’t notice!
Please, pay attention…
“Unless citizens stand up and make their voices heard now, there appears to be a very serious threat that the House could soon succumb to the President’s relentless demands for immunity to cover up his illegal spying program and throw Americans out of court. The phone companies still have a massive lobbying effort and deceptive fearmongering advertising campaign on their side — the only things on the side of civil liberties and the rule of law are public opinion and your voice.”
I guess Dubya never came to the understanding that doing the same thing over and over expecting different results was the definition of insanity. That’s right, I said that!
