Everything and Anything True In America Today That Only Would be Fit To Print AS If It Were In THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER. The outrageous, the ridiculous,the sublime, and the bizarre that can only make one roll one's eyes to heaven as if one were speaking Swaheelee and were from another planet, dimension or time zone.
Socio-political and economical bizarre stuff too good to actually make up. It's that true.
Update: He's pregnant again! The freak show continues. Only in America where you get a front row seat.
Now seriously, this is really what you'd expect the headlines to be on the front page of The National Enquirer. However, you can not make this stuff up. Once again as George Carlin is so fond of saying.
"The world is kind of a freak show but in america you get a front row seat."
One hates to keep quoting the same source, in this case On The Media but when you're on a roll and want to share the info...You're on a roll baby. Even if it is an incredulous blog such as the National EnBlogger. In an update to this original blog the only info we had about the Mystery Man who told the true story about Bush's wiretapping and nefarious listening devices aimed at you and me, the outrageousness of it all was a book by a New York Times writer. now the info sharing about "THE PROGRAM" (the NSA/FBI name for listening to joe smoe's from kokomo) whom nobody would believe, and deserved to be in a National EnQuirer magazine rag, is all true. Who knew?
Inquiring Minds want to know and now we do.
Update: December 20, 2008...... 2 years and 1 mystery man later
Sharing the info NOW is THE mystery man named Tamm. Thomas Tamm. A deep throat of shorts.(I mean sorts, unless he's into other peoples undies)
He is Ex FBI agent who blew the big whistle on the big guys who are/were listening and watching ordinary workdaday folks like you and me. Mr Tamm got a hold of some info the NSA and FBI would rather you not have. That's you and me, Jane Q and John Q, ordinary American citizen(who is not a joe six pack drinker because we don't drink, but seems to be the measuring for true Americans these days concerning the word ORDINARY), who obeys the law, minds their own business and just tries to get along. He told his story to Newsweek and Newsweek ran with it. Now we know, that they know that we know and now we( that's Jane Q and John Q citizen of America)can write about and talk about and get some sunlight disinfectant in on this shrouded sur-veil-lance. Always remember.....there is a VEIL in Sur_Veil_Lance. As of this writing Mr Tamm has not been found in his basement bound and gagged and tied up like an Abu Garib prisoner, he has been found on the Racheal Maddow show doing interviews as seen here.
Original Post:
It's been over two years since New York Times reporter Eric Lichtblau broke the NSA warrantless wiretapping story with James Risen. In his new book, Lichtblau explains the Woodward and Bernstein-like tale of exposing the program that's still surrounded in controversy and mystery.
Remember there is a VEIL in surveilance. That's why it's called sur Veil lance. It's hidden and covert. Like a bride on her wedding day. Like a Muslim woman in full Muslim dress. Like a ....well, you get the picture. You can't see it behind the Veil. A book by Bob Woodward, the leading authority on Nixonlike CIA info gathering stuff.
From On the Media:
With government phone surveillance so much in the news, it’s understandable that some assumed the collection of reporters’ phone records has something to do with the recently-disclosed NSA data mining effort. But that sort of conflation frustrates defense analyst Bill Arkin. He tells Brooke what’s wrong with understanding contemporary intelligence efforts as a Nixonian-style domestic spying program.
* editors note
Be forewarned if you listen to Bill Arkin's tone of voice in this interview. He is outraged and pissed that the American people are not outraged and pissed and it shows in his voice. Finally, somebody who is not laid back with that "Oh What Can We Do About It" attitude. At least you can write about and clue people in.
