Really read this and think about what he (and the government) is saying
"Given the fact of an open investigation, I’m not going to dwell on Mr. Snowden’s actions or motivations. I will say that our nation’s defense depends in part on the fidelity of those entrusted with our nation’s secrets. If any individual who objects to government policy can take it in their own hands to publicly disclose classified information, then we will never be able to keep our people safe, or conduct foreign policy. Moreover, the sensational way in which these disclosures have come out has often shed more heat than light, while revealing methods to our adversaries that could impact our operations in ways that we may not fully understand for years to come."
objection to government and disclosure of "classified" (aka criminal) information means the "government" will never be able to keep the people safe?????
So, the teleprompter puppet's recital, is obviously written by "Team Propaganda"... because as an mature adult and the leader of a so-called "Free Nation and Free People", you would expect to the president to address Congress and the people, the laws broken by the; NSA, by their executive staff/officers, by the DOJ for refusal to prosecute felonies committed by numerous government employees and departments, in violation of the Constitution, Congress, and the People. No, it was nothing more than the usual mind control bullshit and childish attacks at a person who understands what this unaccountable government has done; which is known to be corrupt and proven FOR SALE everyday, which has done to destroy the rule of laws, the country, and people.
BTW, it has been proven time and time again, over the past 500 years, that; Government Security, National Security, State Security, Internal Security, Secret Security... are always to protect the tyrannical government and eventually leads to the oppression of freedoms, the voice from the people, dissent to graft, corruption, & imprisonment. Nothing new, has been proven over and over, yet Obama's crafted speech proves, the government needs to oppress the people, domestically, commit tyranny through security at ever corner and communication port, so the rouge government may continue it's harsh mischief and brutal ventures on foreign lands around the world.
You may not agree, but their very own words prove I am correct and Obama sealed the deal today... that happens to be the governments right hand man called the U.S. State Department. Go ahead, call up any US embassy/consulate website... their first and foremost main statement is
"What is in the best interest of the United States Government". That always comes before the country or before the American people. Obama proved today, we need complete security at home so we may continues our(U.S. Government) ruthless endeavors overseas/foreign lands. No secret, the U.S. State Department is also used as a money laundering front in the form of foreign USAID, back to Military/Security Industrial complexes. Once diplomatic U.S. embassies and consulates for trade, communicating with host nations, have been turned in covert ops for alpha agencies, spy agencies, weapons running, subversion, and of course,secret dealers to launder USAID money back to MIC corporations to buy their military weapons/gear.
With all the RICO violation of government and government officials, does anyone trust them on rule of law or controlling complete security? Hell, the CIA & FBI testified to the 9/11 commission that it was all of the US government's overseas interventions; the invasions, the overthrowing governments, the installing and supporting oppressive dictators/regimes, occupation of foreign lands, theft of natural resources, and of course, the complete support for the brutal policies Apartheid Israel. No secret, it's there in black and white.
'National Security...
The Age Old Cry of the Oppressor'
PS:FDR early 1941
"The people of Europe don't ask U.S. to do their fighting. They ask for the implements of War...The Planes, The Tanks, The Guns, The Freighters, which will enable them to fight for their liberty and OUR SECURITY. We Must Be The Great Arsenal of Democracy"
At the time, FDR just forgot to mention he and the US government had been violating the Neutrality Hague Convention of 1907 Act for over a year.
June 11, 1941 U-boat sunk a American freighter, FDR used this event to occupy Iceland, relief of the British garrisons isolated and US militarize it.
Sept 4, 1941 US Destroyer attacked by a U-Boat between Iceland and the UK, FDR now authorized full attack against any German vessel at sea.
