America Today: Woody Allen’s ‘Bananas’ … Without the Humor

The Washington Post has just discovered that the NSA is also tapping the transatlantic cable. Presidential paranoia goes international. The regime can deploy drones capable of spying through the walls of private homes. Drones may be permitted to kill people. Citizens can be thrown in prison, indefinitely, and denied the right to counsel at presidential whim. All that is required is that the president apply the label “terrorist” to anyone he doesn’t fancy.

In 2012 The Lyin’ King issued an Executive Order, authorizing the takeover of every form of communication, public and private, including the internet, in case of “crisis or national emergency.” Section 5.2 of that Executive Order sanctions him to declare such a state, without additional authority. There are no guidelines for how or when such a takeover should end.

These actions are supposed to protect America’s “safety.” But do they?

This regime can’t or won’t find terrorists, even when tipped off about them by foreign governments (e.g. the Tsaernev brothers). It protects terrorists after they kill Americans on foreign soil and at home. Even with all the surveillance, they can’t seem to locate millions of illegal invaders. We are told that invasive government action has proven invaluable in America’s protection. Yet not a single example has been provided that this claim is true. Such actions are not presidential. They are those of a tin-pot dictator. Someone is being “protected.” It just isn’t us.

Ten years ago Hillary Clinton shrieked “… we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.” That was then, another administration. Clearly, now, El Jefe does not agree.

Make certain your underwear fits on the outside of your clothes. It won’t be long now.
