WASHINGTON — The Obama administration scrambled on Tuesday to slow Congressional opposition to the National Security Agency’s domestic spying operations as the House of Representatives prepared to vote on legislation that would block the agency’s collection of records about every phone call dialed or received inside the United States.
Gen. Keith B. Alexander, the N.S.A. director, met with Democrats and Republicans to lobby against a proposed amendment to a military appropriations bill that would stop the financing for its phone data collection program. The Republican-sponsored legislation is one of the first Congressional efforts to curb the agency’s domestic spying efforts since they were leaked by Edward J. Snowden, a former N.S.A. contractor.

I remember fondly the good ol' days of public service, when government employees thought quite highly of themselves and their brilliance and their leadership qualities and administrative acumen.
Alas, events of the past decade have forced civil servants to recognize their complete uselessness and total irrelevance to any meaningful conversation.
If the Republic is to be defended, you won't want government employees doing it. After turning your back for five minutes, you'd find that you had been robbed blind and a chain placed around your neck.
The National Security Agency is the eyes and ears of the National Security State. The National Security State is what I call a territorially inspecific political union. It is a political structure with a distinctly corporate flavor, a transnational structure that fancies itself a supranational political structure, a union made up of foreign and domestic bankers, armaments manufacturers, career military men, corporate "news" media, establishmentarian politicians, and whatever other hangers-on who might want their turn at the public feedlot, all of whom comprise a witting or unwitting collection of parasites known as the National Security State.
When insiders call Snowden a "traitor," they mean it. But what most people don't understand is that these corrupt insiders are referring to treason to a political structure that does not exist outside their own minds, which is the National Security State. Snowden betrayed the National Security State. That's what these corrupt insiders mean to say.
The National Security State hides inside the legal structure known as the United States, safely ensconced like a tick, hidden behind legal firewalls of compartmentalization and security clearances. Because of these firewalls, there is no meaningful United States oversight of the National Security State's activities.
The National Security State attacked the United States on September 11, 2001. Thanks to people like me, it failed. (Even if I were to receive a medal for what I regard as a mere continuation of my military service, my show being shot through with game theory considerations and chaos theory considerations and misdirection and subterfuge, leavened with a dash of strategic uncertainty, I would toss that medal right in the trash. Why would I soil my uniform with a medal conferred by a military that fields fat generals like Alexander, imaginary war heroes with a chest full of fruit salad, the crooked or the incompetent who go on and on endlessly about the terriss while doing nothing whatsoever about incompatible engine hardware on Murray Street?)
Alexander is a fraud and a coward. He works for the National Security State, that parasitic collection of snake oil salesmen and con artists and stage magicians who have worked assiduously for an entire decade to steal your natural rights and deliver them to their foreign banker masters. Alexander is your typical military officer: a boot-licking, ladder-climbing fraud --just like fully ninety-five percent of this nation's officer corps. He is a turncoat. That is all he could aspire to. Honor and bravery are alien concepts to his kind. Ignore him.
If you do not shut down the National Security State, which has its origins in the National Security Act of 1948, you can rest assured that the United States will be hyperviolently terminated and its every sash-wearing employee executed. The good people of this country will no longer tolerate the dismantling of the Republic and the theft of the natural rights originally defended by it.
This is not playtime.
You kill the NSA and you kill the National Security State. You kill the National Security State and you ensure the survival of the United States of America, as well as the restoration of the Republic that jurisdiction was conceived to defend.
Get crackin'. If all else fails, kinetically terminate the supply of coolant water to the NSA's gargantuan data centers. You interrupt that water and their equipment burns up. You achieve that and the National Security State dies within six hours.
Easy as pie.
