Those who have Serious Problems with Glenn Greenwald..Is it Him or His Reporting? [View all]

[KoKo]

What are the differences? If you dislike the "personality" of a reporter...do you discount anything they say? If you have a friend who might be more vivacious and vibrant in their personality...do you secretly resent them and discount everything they say ....just because you resent their personality?

Or, is there something about Greenwald's views on "Civil Liberties" that bothers you? Some here say he supports the Paul Father and Son and that he's a Libertarian. I don't understand what that's about since I've seen nothing from Glenn getting Political and Urging all of us to support Ron and Rand Paul for any office.

Others say that Greenwald supported Bush in his Iraq Invasion...yet Kerry, Hillary and many Democrats on the VOTE really DID support Bush's Invasion...but, they later claimed they didn't "Support" but only felt that Bush would "Not Use" the Authorization for War against Iraq as a "Real Declaration of War. They say they thought it gave him some backing but not Full Authority. (Is that Believable in hindsight?)

Anyway...we have Blackwater type "Independent Contractors" with Security Clearances (and dubious credentials) now working for "Private" (Not Government Restricted by Laws)Employees who are now there doing For Profit Data Collection which they can sell to Corporations like our Consumer Data Collection Agencies..(Drug Stores, Grocery Stores, Department Stores, Amazon Orders for Books and Goods...and On and On).

So we PRIVATIZE OUR INFORMATION to be Collected by Contractors like Blackwater was in Iraq and we are supposed to TRUST THEM?

What about blackmailing all kinds of people by Corporate Contractors who might have "ENEMIES" they could use this info against"

We have a Small Business in Health Care and we work with International Businesses to license products between America and Europe. If they are monitoring what we do via our SKYPE and Webinars and Interactions with these overseas groups and then sell it off to our COMPETITORS...Are we as a SMALL AMERICAN BUSINESS not at RISK by this Surveillance? How do we know how BIG BUSINESS could use this AGAINST ...Small Businesses by stealing our Clients by monitoring us and selling it off to Wall Street?

I don't know the answer to this. Maybe they ARE NOT DOING THIS....but....WHAT IF...\
They ARE?

These are the issues that need to be discussed and we need as citizens and business people to have our Government Address. It's quite frightening that ALL our Communications are monitored when we as "Small People and Businesses" have such a disadvantage not being able to afford the Big Security that Big Companies have with better Encryption and Safe Guards than WE can ever hope to Afford.

Whatever ...this is too long but we are very concerned that this is going on as Small Business Owners that Obama and our Party are supposed to be encouraging and supporting.
