“If you like your privacy, you can keep it”
Like a stand-up comedian with a political edge, Rand Paul deployed some witty one-liners after President Barack Obama’s comments on Friday about reforming the National Security Agency.
“What I think I heard is that if you like your privacy, you can keep it,” Paul, the Republican senator from Kentucky, said in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “But in the meantime, we’re going to keep collecting your phone records, your email, your text messages and, likely, your credit card information.”
In Friday’s speech, Obama called for limited reforms on how the NSA collects information, promising that the United States would no longer eavesdrop on world leaders and would rein in the vast collection of Americans’ phone data.
In Friday’s speech, Obama called for limited reforms on how the NSA collects information, promising that the United States would no longer eavesdrop on world leaders and would rein in the vast collection of Americans’ phone data.
“The reforms I’m proposing today should give the American people greater confidence that their rights are being protected, even as our intelligence and law enforcement agencies maintain the tools they need to keep us safe,” the president said.
Aside from the promise not to eavesdrop on world leaders, Obama largely left other proposed reforms up for discussion, effectively shifting the debate to congressional leaders.
Paul had another snappy response, when noting that Obama referenced American Revolution figure Paul Revere in his remarks.
“He mentioned Paul Revere. But Paul Revere was warning us about the British coming,” Paul said. “He wasn’t warning us that the Americans are coming.”
Later in the interview, Paul said he’s opposed to all massive data collection, by both the federal government and the private sector. Beyond civil liberty concerns, Paul said such massive surveillance just isn’t practical.
“Who are we going to hire, Eric Snowden’s contractor to hold all the information?” Paul said, laughing at his own joke.

My comment:
If you still believe in the messages of Barack Hussein Obama, there are only a few possible reasons left.
1. You are blindfolded.
2. You are extremely naive.
3. You simply refuse to listen to the truth.
4. You take pleasure in the evils of the US President.
There might be combinations of the four options, if you like to give me feedback on why you still are Obama supporter.

Google “outraged” at alleged NSA hacking
Google has expressed outrage following a report that the US National Security Agency (NSA) has hacked its data links.
An executive at Google said it was not aware of the alleged activity, adding there was an “urgent need for reform”.
The comments follow a Washington Post report based on leaks from Edward Snowden claiming that the NSA hacked links connecting data centres operated by Google and Yahoo.
The NSA’s director said it had not had access to the companies’ computers.
Gen Keith Alexander told Bloomberg TV: “We are not authorised to go into a US company’s servers and take data.”
But correspondents say this is not a direct denial of the latest claims.
The revelations stem from documents leaked by ex-US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, who has been granted temporary asylum in Russia and is wanted in the US in connection with the unauthorised disclosures.
The documents say millions of records were gleaned daily from the internet giants’ internal networks.
They suggest that the NSA intercepted the data at some point as it flowed through fibre-optic cables and other network equipment connecting the companies’ data centres, rather than targeting the servers themselves.

My comment:
Theft is a crime.
Who should the account holders of Google and Yahoo take to court?
Would the US Attorney General hold the NSA directors accountable, and request a judge to send them to jail?
The NSA hackers on Washington’s payroll, should be punished in court, and sentenced to long terms imprisonment.
You must be willing to believe in fairytales, if you believe that Barack Hussein Obama did not authorize criminal theft of private communications of dozens of World leaders. The US President is a hard core cyber criminal. The US Congress should start impeachment proceedings, and remove him from office.

Google boss Eric Schmidt warns on social use of media
Young people may one day have to change their names in order to escape their previous online activity.
This statement is not from an “offline grandfather” of the old days. Its a warning from Google boss Eric Schmidt.
Mr Schmidt told the Wall Street Journal he feared they did not understand the consequences of having so much personal information about them online.
The firm has been busy bolstering its social networking presence recently.
Google has acquired Slide and Jambool, two firms specialising in providing services for social networks. Slide is gaming firm, whilst Jambool provides virtual currencies and payments.
Many believe the acquisitions are a sign that the search giant is about to launch another social network. Some commentators have already given the rumoured product a name: Google.me.

My comment:
Would Jesus have made a Face Book pages on him self?
Matthew 8:4
Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
Matthew 16:20
Then he warned his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
Matthew 17:9
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
Matthew 12:15-18
Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Many followed him, and he healed all their sick, warning them not to tell who he was. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
Jesus did not want the “blitz lamps” to rest on Him. He did not come to Earth to gain popularity, become famous and rich.
So, please examine your self.
What kind of gossips are you entertaining on various electronic Social Media?
1 Timothy 5:13
Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to.
Romans 1:28-30
Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents…
