Rumor has it that President Obama may announce new guidelines to the NSA phone data collection.

On January 3rd (2014) Senator Rand Paul filed a lawsuit against the NSA for gathering all phone data as part of their domestic surveillance program.
Leaks from inside administration officials (probably “Skippy” Panetta) are alluding to a soon to be announced policy change of Dear Leader.    The change will possibly outline that the NSA is no longer permitted to capture all phone/data records and they will be held outside the government within the operational structures of the telecom network.
The NSA will then have to get a judicial order approved prior to requesting the data from the phone companies.

By now you might have noticed that Texas Governor Rick Perry endorsed Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell in his re-election bid.   You might have also heard his endorsement was during the Kentucky Lincoln/Reagan Dinner.   But did you hear that McConnells opponent, Matt Bevin, was also present and NOT allowed to speak ?
Such is the state of the Establishment Republicans, the “Decepticons”, fear.   You think the BIG R’s speak for freedom – they don’t.

Back in the summer of 2011 as the 2012 candidates were aligning/positioning for a potential run, a meeting was held in Colorado with the Koch Brothers et al, the Decepticons,  the Big Money Donors and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce folk including Tom Donohue.
Governor Rick Perry was the group’s hand selected man of choice.  His presence was unpublicized and somewhat mysterious.   In his home state there were questioning reports of his whereabouts.   That was 2011.
Fast forward to 2014 and it is any surprise the Decepticons and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce / Tom Donohue would not leverage ‘their man’ to assist their agenda ?   Actually, it shows just how desperate they are to retain power.   They wouldn’t even permit Matt Bevin to speak at the dinner.   THINK ABOUT IT.
Is that FREEDOM, or FEAR ?

New York Times Headline:  “Rebel Conservatives Excel in G.O.P. Fund-Raising, Heralding a Tug Right“…

WOLVERINES !

(Via New York Times)  Insurgent conservatives seeking to pull the Republican Party to the right raised more money last year than the groups controlled by the party establishment, whose bulging bank accounts and ties to major donors have been their most potent advantage in the running struggle over the party’s future, according to new campaign filings and interviews with officials.

The shift in fortunes among the largest and most influential outside political groups could have an enormous impact in the 2014 election cycle, as the warring Republican factions prepare to square off in a series of Senate and House primaries around the country and as Republican leaders seek to rein in activists who they believe have fractured and endangered the party with policies that alienate independent-leaning voters.

Behind the scenes, groundwork has been laid for a federal government confiscation of your tax-deferred retirement accounts such as IRAs.  They’ve been quietly working it through backroom committees since 2007.  You see, Uncle Sam has a spending habit….and he’s got it bad.   Now, he sees Americans with $19.4 trillion in retirement savings, and he’s generously offering to help them manage it.  What could possibly go wrong?

DEFEAT MITCH – The rest is easy….

To me – the McConnell 2014 video is creepy, really creepy.   But then again I can think of no-one who is more dangerous to the cause of conservatism than Kentucky Decepticon, Mitch McConnell.

Rand Paul is walking a tightrope over the Rubicon betting on McConnell winning the primary challenge in May and then giving Paul the establishment Republican approval toward a presidential bid.

(Via The Hill)  Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) sought to emphasize his Tea Party ties Monday by signing papers to file for reelection with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

In a video released Tuesday, McConnell is shown signing his filing papers with Paul and Agriculture Commissioner Jaime Comer (R), who are both Tea Party favorites in Kentucky. (more…)

Representative Peter King is a fully vested Decepticon.

However, after listening to King’s descriptions of NSA phone spying data use, one could be left with a rather curious consideration.

If what Rep King says is true, couldn’t the al-Qaeda affiliates wreak havoc merely with ownership of several yellow page books?

All they would have to do is start down the list of random U.S. phone numbers making calls and not only would the NSA would be bogged down, but thousands of U.S. citizens would be automatically subjected to terroristic stalking by their own government.

…. and how do we know they’re not?
