Who cares about "Right to Privacy" there is a Telecommunication Industry with more rights than American Citizens after all !!!

The point is that under the 'insistance' of a Republican Dominated administration that screamed 'National Security' since September 11, 2001, industries that exploit American's Rights have been developed. Those industries are reliant on changing the 'Rights of Americans' and exploit the very nature of 'Freedom.' Unless we remain aware of the dangers that 'exploitive' Executive Branchs of the USA Constitution bring to our lives, more and more of our Civil Rights will continue to be violated to insure corporate profits.

It is a form of corruption that the USA has to rid itself of. The Telecommunication companies that cooperated under the demands of Bush and Cheney, against the existing laws of the USA, need to be penalized for their role in destoying the Right to Privacy guaranteed to Americans.

The technology currently being marketed as 'state of the art' of Homeland Security will continue to compromise the lives of Americans and exploit the very meaning of our Democracy. This Sunnyvale Company is an example of protectionism by of these laws. I am quite confident, Bush and Cheney point regularly to the 'opportunities' of such companies IF rules are bent and even broken.

Enough already. Even the health considerations of these technologies are not known. We don't need our privacy monitored by invasive and potentially dangerous technologies for the benefit of convenience. Wire taps on even conventional methods of communication, now that Homeland Security has microwaves, have the potential to alter human wellness. We still don't know the dangers 'cell phone' technology has brought our society and won't for many years. The 'idea' that technology and products should be allowed to cause health risks with the 'potential' advent of improvements in 'treatments of the infirmed' is simply outrageous.

In a country without adequate access to health care, what will we be facing in a country with compromised wellness when the capacity of consumer protections are reduced for the sake of an economy. Americans have never had so few 'rights' to safety in the history of this country since Child Labor Laws began. We need a return to competency in government before laws such as this mess are considered into longevity !

These issues are huge and none are minor, they require the return of the capacity of our government agencies such as the FDA, FCC and adequate protections of a vigorous Justice Department. We have witnessed none of this under this Executive Branch but continually witness the exploitive nature of our laws while chasing innocent people with Rendition, Detention and Torture. Those are the focus of a Neocon Executive Branch and not the interest of consumer protection. We witnessed Homeless Men in Florida carted off to prison while it was touted as a victory for Homeland Security at the cost of American's Civil Rights.

We need a government that reflects 'reasonable' provisions for investigations and not those conducted and politically exploited at any cost. "The Culture of Fear" developed within our society has to be irradicated before our Civil Rights are meaningless and disposed of for profit for the lack of a 'real economy' of innovation !

THE 'USA' MINIMALIST REALITY - It's only about 20 levee breaks that have cost people life and limb to improve the potential flooding 'downstream.'

White House invokes executive privilege in EPA inquiry (click here)
The Bush administration refuses to turn over subpoenaed documents related to the agency's decision to prevent California from enacting stricter emissions standards than the federal government.
By Richard Simon, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

7:26 PM PDT, June 20, 2008
...The administration's claim of executive privilege is the latest twist in the escalating legal and political battle over California's efforts to implement its own law combating global warming. Critics of the EPA decision contend that it was based on politics, not science or the law....

After all, the dead of this country, whether it is in Iraq or domestically serve a purpose to their loss. The DEAD FOLKS in the Midwest have suffered the consequences so those 'DOWNSTREAM' have a better outcome after all !





It must be God's Plan after all. I mean George Walker Bush and John McCain would know best about that, right?

How ludicrous does this have to get? What will it take finally for Bush and McCain to pull the plug on oil exploration and begin to retool the nation's infrastructure to stop this travesty called GOVERNMENT !

I tell you what, rather than 'deal with the issue' of Human Induced Global Warming, let's just blame this mess on The Army Corp of Engineers that don't have the RIGHT to do what's necessary because the USA has a Government under Republican Domination for Decades that have denied the issue of Carbon Dioxide Pollution right up to the last 'go round' in the Senate recently. So, let's make the Army Corp the SCAPEGOAT to this Republican travesty and forget about those dead. I mean Bush and Cheney can ignore over 4000 American soldiers in an illegal war in Iraq they can certainly ignore trivial domestic losses due to Human Induced Global Warming. Oh, I forgot. There is no such thing as Global Warming and Carbon Dixoide could never be a toxic gas !

Neocons are simply amazing people. They believe that 'control' of the media and the 'political spin' will stop any reality handed them. Well, it would seem THIS ACT OF GOD has its own idea of reality and a nation now faced with potential food short falls and escalating food costs have a lot to answer for when in fact, IT AIN'T OVER !

13 Dead In Midwest Floods; Hundreds Flee (click here)
Flash Flood Warnings Posted From Texas To Pennsylvania; At Least 3 People Missing
(CBS/AP) Residents of low-lying towns stacked sandbags or grabbed belongings and evacuated Wednesday after a foot of rain pushed rivers and creeks out of their banks in the nation's midsection. At least 13 deaths had been linked to the weather, and three people were missing. Record or near-record flood crests were forecast at several towns in Missouri. Flooding was reported in large areas of Arkansas and parts of southern Illinois, southern Indiana and southwestern Ohio, and schools were closed in parts of western Kentucky because of flooded roads. "We've got water rising everywhere," said Jeff Korb, president of the Vanderbugh County, Ind., commissioners. The National Weather Service posted flood and flash flood warnings from Texas to Pennsylvania....


Battle to save farmland at fever pitch (click here)
By Jeffrey Meitrodt and Tim Jones, Tribune correspondents
6:18 PM PDT, June 18, 2008
URSA, Ill. -- Despite a history of heart problems, Larry Ippensen lifted shovel after shovel of sand Wednesday afternoon with scraped and sunburned hands in a desperate sandbagging effort to save his 160-acre family farm from a nearby faltering levee."If the levee goes, my crop is gone," said Ippensen, 62, who spent more than five hours filling bags with his two adult children and a 12-year-old grandson.

For miles around Ippensen's corn and soybean farm, the Mississippi River – raging at all-time flood highs or near them – devoured thousands of acres of prime farmland. At least nine levees were overrun Wednesday alone and more than 20 in recent days....

FEMA and The Farmer's Home Administration AIN'T GOT ENOUGH MONEY to reconstruct the Agricultural Infrastructure of the USA, yet alone rebuild levees. Do you have the remotest idea of the monies needed to supply 'loans' to farmers that have lost crops? Plenty. Do you know the monies approved for the illegal war in Iraq by the House today? Outrageous. Where are the priorities to a nation abandoned by it's Executive Branch to the ravages of corporate profits and dealings? The 'sink hole' called the USA Treasury keeps getting deeper and deeper and deeper and we haven't seen any substantial impeachment hearings yet. Amazing. And Wall Street thought all they had to do was restructure mortgages.

What.

A.

Joke !

And of course all this flooding was a complete surprise to the Executive Branch.

EXCEPT.

FOR THE COMPLETE SURPRISE LAST YEAR !

Ohio latest area to see new flooding; death toll reaches 22

RUSHFORD, Minn. - Water-weary residents across the Midwest began counting their losses Tuesday as damage estimates from this weekend’s deadly flash floods climbed into the tens of millions.
The rain moved into Ohio, where roads flooded, schools canceled classes and residents were rescued from flooded homes by boats.
The death toll from the two storm systems — one in the Upper Midwest and the remnants of Tropical Storm Erin in Texas and Oklahoma — climbed to 22 when searchers found the body of a man tangled in a tree about four miles from his wrecked, upside-down car near a creek south of Lewiston, Minn....


Regardless of the 'insurance' Bush has given to their Red State Agricultural Community, that isn't going to return the crop losses or a reasonable food policy for the people of the USA ! Anyone hungry or losing their homes due to food prices ?

You know its a darn shame that the USA's farmers will end up 'with relief' money when the cost of agricultural products, especially biofuel products, are going through the roof. Amazing. The 'very product' that would serve to bring farmers OUT OF LONG STANDING DEBT, is being washed away along with the soil. Darn shame.

Agricultural Assistance Act of 2007 (click here)

On May 25, 2007, President Bush signed into law the "U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007" (2007 Act).

The 2007 Act provides approximately $3 billion in agricultural disaster aid for America's farmers and ranchers. The aid will cover crop losses, livestock and feed losses, emergency conservation practices and dairy losses. The Act also extends the Emergency Forestry Conservation Reserve Program (EFCRP) and the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program.

This page serves as a clearinghouse for information about the farm programs addressed in the 2007 Act....

No, they can't !



Mistakes ? Mistakes ? That is what they call it when they expose a CIA agent for political purposes? A Mistake?

"W"rong !

A mistake is something one takes care of with "White Out." This is NOT a mistake !

Loyalty...In heart I am a public servant...the mistakes this White House made...I do not know if there was a crime committed...nor do I know if there was an attempt…to engage in a cover up during the investigation…I do know it was wrong to reveal her identity because it compromised the identity of a covert official for political reasons. I regret I played a role, however unintentionally in relaying false information to the public about it…
