Glenn Greenwald drops NSA bombshell in Italy

[woo me with science]

99. That was a sad post,

but illustrative of the desperation of the propaganda. I'm afraid the days of trying to make this about Obama or about evil "Libertarians" are long past. This is much larger than one Democratic politician or a fringe political party that is not even in power.

In fact, it is huge. These revelations of corporate spying in Italy cut to the heart of the corporate takeover of our government that is destroying this nation and driving millions into poverty and despair. Not only have we learned that the United States of America is a surveillance state engaging in unconstitutional mass spying and data collection on its own citizens, ....and not only is the NSA being used to strangle investigative journalism, probably the most important defense we have against abuses of power by government....

Not only that, but now we finally also see the actual subversion of this govenment spy agency, massively funded by citizen tax dollars,....for corporate espionage.

This is the definition of corporate fascism. This is subversion of the core purpose and use of our government, for corporate ends. We don't *have* a democratic representative government anymore. We are now ruled by corporate interests that are turning our own government against us and corrupting its entire reason for existing.

I suspect that you will require the last word here; that seems to be an unwritten rule of the propaganda. But you cant downplay this, no matter how hard you try. This is deadly serious stuff, and all the attempts in the world to make this about Obama or party loyalty or Libertarians will not divert from the importance of these revelations.

Goodnight.
