If only the mainstream media would stop parroting government lies, then I think we the people could rise up and stop the NSA. It's going to take intelligent people like us on the internet to finally stop Pax Americana from oppressing our freedoms.
- Amadou 13y agoThis is what happens when you don't parrot the government lies (from a previous HN article): http://www.thenation.com/article/174851/strange-case-barrett-brown http://www.thenation.com/article/174851/strange-case-barrett... The espionage-industrial complex is on the order of a $50 billion/year industry. That kind of money buys a lot of ignoring american ideals.
- InclinedPlane 13y agoDon't peddle this bullshit. There is a more than strong enough case of government abuse of power and wrongdoing, there's no need to make allusions to shadowy conspiracies that kill people without leaving any evidence. It weakens the argument rather than strengthening it. Stand on the facts, the facts are more than good enough.
- Amadou 13y agoI don't know where you got "allusions to shadowy conspiracies that kill people" from. I posted (a) a story about a reporter being very publicly persecuted for investigative reporting unfriendly to the government status quo and (b) referred to the quite well established fact that money tends to make people forget their ideals.
- frozenport 13y agoHi welcome to HN, I see you haven't made many posts. I am wondering if you could compare how life in Pax Americana with life in Russia or China. I am myself from Russia and can say that Americans enjoy significantly more freedom in the real world.
