More web censorship from the Boston Globe (and more retyping from me).
Hope you appreciate my effort, readers.
I can't keep doing this, so don't expect any MSM paper analysis tomorrow.
I may not even bother with the websites anymore.
May just stick to the blogs from now on.
"Bush asks support on Iraq, economy; No sweeping initiatives in final State of Union" by Michael Kranish and Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | January 29, 2008
WASHINGTON - .... Bush also pressured Congress to quickly pass legislation that would make permanent a temporary bill hastily passed in 2007 that legalized a form of the warrantless wiretapping program Bush authorized after the 2001 terrorist attacks. The law, known as the Protect America Act, is set to expire on Feb. 1.
Even though the law extends for a year, and he was spying on us before Sept 11, 2001!!
This was all that was in the paper.
They cut this:
Though there appears to be broad support in Congress for that act, Bush has also demanded that lawmakers include a provision giving telecommunications companies legal immunity for having participated in the original program, shutting down lawsuits by customers who say the program violated privacy laws.
Never mind that retroactive immunity is unconstitutional,
"Article I, Section 9: "No bill of attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed,"
but Bush's Wiretapping Began BEFORE 9/11!!!!
Bush has threatened to veto any bill that does not include the immunity provision, and Republicans are also blocking a Democratic proposal to pass a bill temporarily extending the original Patriot Act so that lawmakers can debate the immunity provision with less time pressure."
Yeah, why would you want the American public knowing about the asshole's illegalities, huh?
Meanwhile, here us another article that the Globe's website hacked to bits!
"Divided Senate headed toward spy bill extension" by Thomas Ferraro Reuters | Reuters January 29, 2008
WASHINGTON - Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell relented yesterday and said he would offer a short-term extension of an anti-terror surveillance law, set to expire this week, as he seeks immunity for telephone companies.
The Kentucky Republican made the announcement as he pushed for passage of a stalled bill to replace the temporary law, which expanded the power of U.S. authorities last August to conduct electronic surveillance of enemy targets without a court order.
The bipartisan bill would tighten controls on spying. It also contains a demand by President George W. Bush that any phone company that participated in his warrantless domestic spying program, begun after the September 11 attacks, receive retroactive immunity from lawsuits.
Except that Bush's Wiretapping Began BEFORE 9/11!!!!
And the MSM KNOWS IT!!!
Yet they CONTINUE to PRINT the LIE!!!!
That's why they are NO LONGER to be TRUSTED -- about ANYTHING!!!!
ALL PROPAGANDA, readers.
Which is why YOU and I are HERE!!!
With the law set to expire Friday, lawmakers might agree as soon as today on an extension of a week or so, before House Democrats have an out-of-town retreat.
Nearly 40 lawsuits have been filed accusing AT&T Inc, Verizon Communications Inc and Sprint Nextel Corp of violating Americans' privacy rights in helping the government's warrantless domestic spying program.
On back-to-back votes, Democrats blocked a move to bring the bill up for a vote on passage, and Republicans stopped a bid to extend the law for 30 days.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, suggested the law be extended a month or more, perhaps even into the middle of next year when there will be a new president, to give both sides time to resolve differences....
Thanks, you spineless fucking DemocraPs.
Why did we even bother electing you!?
"None of us want the current law to expire. But if it does expire because of Republican tactics, surveillance will not end," Reid said, noting existing operations approved under the law could continue until at least August.
Then WHY the RUSH?!
And why is Bush TOSSING MORE BULLSHIT about it?!
So, FUCK OFF, government!
You are getting my thoughts with a FULL FART BLAST, assholes!!
Sniff up, shitters!!!!!!!!!
After it was clear McConnell did not have the 60 votes needed in the 100-member Senate to clear a procedural hurdle and obtain a vote on passage of the bill, he said could agree to "a very short" extension of the law. "Republicans will not allow this critical program to expire and will offer a short-term extension, if necessary," he said....
Oh, so the lying shitter was BLUFFING, huh?
The rest of this piece was censored from the web:
Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a floor speech:
"In a transparent attempt to score political points off of national security issues, the White House has decided once again that scaring the American people with unfounded and manipulative claims is in order."
The surveillance bill, co-written with Senator Kit Bond, Republican of Missouri, cleared the Senate panel last fall by a 13-2 vote. It seeks to reauthorize the 2007 Protect America Act, an update of the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Under FISA, law enforcement agencies were required to obtain a court warrant before eavesdropping.
That's why I no longer believe in DemocraPs.
Think they are going to save us from the fascism?
They are PART OF IT!
The bill is controversial because it essentially makes permanent Bush's program that secretly authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on telephone calls and e-mails without a court warrant.
The bill also contains a provision, sought by the White House that would give the telephone companies protection from lawsuits.
If they didn't do anything illegal -- as Bush claims -- why do they need immunity, readers?
Congress approved temporary authority to eavesdrop without a warrant in August, but that power is scheduled to expire Friday.
The next step is uncertain. Civil liberties groups said one option is to revert back to the original law, forcing intelligence agencies to gain approval from the FISA court each time they want to conduct electronic surveillance.
Sounds good to me!
Democrats said existing electronic surveillance cases could continue for a year without new authorization, but any new case would require intelligence gatherers to follow the old FISA rules.
Intelligence agencies have said that the older requirements are cumbersome and limit their ability to conduct surveillance of potential terrorists.
Why, when they are the ones directing them?
Why were you spying on us before 9/11, and how did you miss the hijackers plot?
Pffffftttt!
Just hours before President Bush was to deliver his annual State of the Union speech, Republicans portrayed Democrats as being weak on terrorists.
I'm just shaking my head, readers.
Fuck the god-damn fascists!
The nation's intelligence agencies had been unable to collect vital foreign intelligence without the prior approval of the FISA court.
That's a fucking lie!
They have 72 hours before they have to report for a warrant.
I'm so sick of the AmeriKan MSM and its shit lying, readers!
Sig Heil!
Senator Saxby Chambliss, Republican of Georgia, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, speaking on the floor:
"Our intelligence community told us that without updating FISA, they were not just handicapped, but that they were hamstrung. Time is running out."
That LAST SENTENCE a BIT CRYPTIC, no?
What does Chambliss know that we don't?
Another FALSE-FLAG INSIDE JOB on the way, readers?
