The question is, which side of that contest are You really on? American or Socialist? Freedom or Disguised Slavery?
On the Planet of the Apes, in the land of lies, all they do, to their demise.

I don’t know what I’m supposed to make of a Cold War president lecturing to us about the dangers of secret dealings. The stuff he’s saying certainly sounds nice…and it sounded nice when Obama said mostly the same stuff.
What “same stuff” did Obama say? And before or after inauguration?

“Gentlemen do not read other gentlemen’s mail.”
The election of 1928 brought Herbert Hoover to the presidency, with Henry Stimson as his Secretary of State. Stimson was one of the towering figures in foreign and defense policy in the first half of the Twentieth Century (he also later served in Franklin Roosevelt’s administration as Secretary of War).
Stimson made a decision to eliminate the Cipher Bureau. The decision likely was based on budget considerations, but it has come down to us as based on the need for acting in good faith in international relations. Whatever the reason for terminating the Cipher Bureau, when he did so Stimson spoke the single most famous sentence ever uttered about codes and ciphers:
“Gentlemen do not read other gentlemen’s mail.”
In his history of the Cipher Bureau, Yardley charged that Stimson had axed the organization strictly for moralistic reasons. In his own autobiography, Stimson did not deny this: he noted that although he became a heavy consumer of decrypt intelligence in wartime, certain practices that might be necessary during war were unacceptable during peace.

What does peace mean today?
NSA was not aware of the recently identified vulnerability in OpenSSL, the so-called Heartbleed vulnerability, until it was made public in a private sector cybersecurity report. Reports that say otherwise are wrong.
OK, sure. I’m supposed to take your word for it? That’s funny.
"As described in the section on democratic participation, the actions of governments are often so secretive (usually in the name of “national security”, i.e. the culture of war), that citizens are not even able to participate in knowledge of what their government is doing. Although secrecy and misinformation are usually justified as part of the culture of war (to hide information from “enemies”), it may also be used to hide incompetence, error and illegality. In the United States, for example, one wonders what secrets President Nixon was seeking when he authorized the Watergate burglary, and what secret programs were shredded by Colonel Oliver North in the basement of the White House under President Ronald Reagan. Often, the commercial media are part of the conspiracy to withhold information as was shown after the Vietnam War by the hearings of Senator Church on relations between the media and the CIA at the time when George Bush was its director .
No matter what the reason for government secrecy and misinformation, it always frustrates full democratic participation by the citizenry."

The gulf between need to know and allowed to know, nothing to hide and the bright side of a one-way mirror, consented exception and incontestable policy - is what we have every reason to scrutinize this moment.
John F. Kennedy was just another corrupt piece of shit. He’s not the courageous hero that he’s made out to be.
Last decent president was probably more like William McKinley.
It has been nothing but political douche bags ever since.
Then again I am an anarchist where I don’t really give a shit. Just my two cents.
Dont bother Saint, the people who assassinated him are much like the people here. Mostly nazoids.
Get people thinking in terms of who to bow to, and for some inexplicable reason, they begin to bow.
Been to any politically correctness or liberal politique festivals lately? Yes, if you don’t like somebody just call them a Nazi. Works every time.
The ultimate go to word for describing somebody as foul. Its label lives on in infamy.
Oh man they love to bow. Look Tylernazi here.

Yyyyy
eah.
Done any arm-stretching exercises lately?
I stretch my arms all the time. Weird question.
