America’s golden-throated community organizer
now is claiming that the government isn’t spying on the nation’s citizens.
The untruthfulness of that claim is clearly
manifested by the supposed welcome of a national debate on the appropriate
balance of the surveillance state vis-a-vis individual privacy by the same
orator-in-chief as well as by his appointees who occupy leadership
positions in America’s multiple security agencies.
Actually, the debate is about as welcome as
root canals by those apparatchiks. They did everything within their considerable
powers to shield the surveillance state from public view until one of their
underlings, Edward Snowden, revealed its existence. Mr. Snowden’s revelations
made the debate unavoidable.
The hypocrisy of the debate welcome is made clear
by the continuing intensive efforts of the officials voicing it to get their
grimy paws on Mr. Snowden. They are
intent on stringing him up for bringing public scrutiny to bear on their highly
questionable activities.
The inherent contradictions and inconsistencies of officialdom's activities, claims and statements undermine the credibility of everything emanating from the government.
