A truly FRIGHTENING post on DU today...."10 things to know about Snowden". [View all]

[bvar22]

Did you read this post?
It was posted in an attempt to discredit Edward Snowden, the latest Whistle Blower on our government accumulating and compiling personal data on American citizens.

It contains some interesting tidbits:

*Donated to Ron Paul

*Wasn't a friendly neighbor

*His laptop stickers reveal his beliefs

* Used the codename Verax, Latin for “truthteller.”

*Lived comfortably

*Not on social media

Does it bother you that this personal data is being used in an attempt to discredit a Whistle Blower.
How did "they" dig up all this stuff so fast?

If the government kept an updated file on everybody that contained a compilation of personal tidbits like this, then almost ANYBODY could be instantly discredited if there was ANY suspicion that they might step out of line.


"Wasn't a friendly neighbor??!!!!
Really?
Gosh, that could be in MY file from the time my neighbor tried to put up a Dusk to Dawn 20 Million Candle Power Parking Lot Security Light on our property line.
(I wasn't very "friendly".)

"Lived Comfortably"??!!!
WHEN did THAT become an area of suspicion or a Talking Point to discredit someone in the USA?

The thing that frightened me is that THIS is the kind of stuff that IS NOW being used AGAINST someone who dared to Step-Out-of-Line,
and the possibility that this kind of stuff is being collected, compiled, and stored under the protection of Homeland Security Secrecy Blanket.
The government's "denials" have been less than reassuring.

That THIS post appeared on DUs Greatest Page,
and gathered RECOMMENDS should scare EVERYBODY!
