Feinstein. Cunt. That’s all I’ve got to say about that.

The Big Secret Behind the CIA-Congressional Battle

You’ve heard that there’s a big battle between the CIA and Congress over the CIA spying on the Senate Intelligence Committee’s review of documents related to the Bush-era torture program.

Many are calling it a “constitutional crisis“. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa calls it potential “treason“.

The congress members complaining about spying by the CIA are right, of course.

But they are hypocrites. Specifically, these same congress members didn’t raise a peep when the government was spying on the people … and instead defended the government’s mass surveillance at every opportunity.

There are hundreds of thousands of Google hits for the search term “Hypocrisy CIA Senate Feinstein“.

High-level NSA whistleblower Bill Binney, Edward Snowden, a very high-level former CIA officer, a former FBI agent and many others are all slamming Congress for the hypocrisy

Even Jon Stewart has lambasted them

(And this isn’t the first time that Congress has been hypocritical when the spying was turned against them personally.)

A corrupt CIA is certainly part of the problem. After all, the same guy who was the lawyer for the CIA torture unit – and who was mentioned 1,600 times in the Senate intelligence report on torture – is now the chief counsel for the CIA … the guy working so hard to make sure the torture report is never released. (He was also involved in the destruction of tapes documenting CIA torture … discussed more fully below).

And don’t let Obama fool you: The White House is a big part of the problem as well.

Obama has for years prevented the Senate Intelligence report on torture – what the CIA’s spying is all about – from being declassified.

Glenn Greenwald tweets:

Could someone remind me who appointed [CIA director] John Brennan and to whom he reports? Having trouble finding it in most discussions ….

Obama appointed current CIA-director John Brennan, who – before the appointment – had expressly endorsed torture, assassination of unidentified strangers (including Americans) without due process, and spying on all Americans, and who got caught in numerous lies got caught in numerous other lies related to national security and defense. (Indeed, Brennan insisted that he be sworn in with a copy of the Constitution which didn’t include the Bill of Rights.)

Thinker

Watch what they do, not what they say.

“When they spied on my enemies I said nothing,
When they spied on my allies I said nothing,
When they spied on my fellow citizens I said nothing,
Now they are spying on me and I can’t shut the fuck up about it!”

There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of men, for this treachery.

For those who aren’t LOTR fans, there really is no insult too vile for Feinstein. She is the very worst of humanity.

I nearly spit coffee on my screen while watching Feinstein’s outrage.

Bitch, how’s it feel?

The only way to stop the hypocrisy is to amp up the magnifying glass on our rulers and their cronies (Dimon, Buffett, et al).

Do to them as they do to us.

Seems fair doesn’t it?

The best part was the 0.01 seconds the MSM spent on it before ignoring it to focus on Ukraine and the missing plane.

Priorities ya’ know, and the protection of our Constitution surely isn’t one of them anymore.
