That always gets missed in all this, but it ends up leaving the spies themselves with deep mental health issues. People who brutalise and lie to others for a living are pathologically unwell or will eventually become so. There is no way to do this other than to train a cohort of particularly dirty and unprofessional players.Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971936879817909917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-39854701278590320752015-04-07T06:44:09.774-07:002015-04-07T06:44:09.774-07:00Saw that last night.

It is apparently not that hard for journalists to interview Edward Snowden.<br /><br />But just imagine the hash corporate television "journalists" would make of the opportunity.<br /><br />It makes me cringe just thinking about it.<br /><br />The government can see and save everything we do online. They engage in active cover-ups of their own crimes, but they have given themselves the capability and the regulatory power to see everything you do.<br /><br />They go after the charitable status of bird-watching groups for innocuous opinions on environmental issues. That's the CRA. Imagine out-of-control CSIS getting legal immunity for everything except raping you and killing you afterwards.thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-6008285696436941492015-04-07T05:33:13.300-07:002015-04-07T05:33:13.300-07:00The photo of your junk will be publicized.

In April, John Oliver interviewed Edward Snowden about the spy agencies spying and used a "dick pic" to make his point. Later, the Canadian government passed Bill C-51 given it's spy agency free reign. The "Dick Pic Revolution" began shortly thereafter and at by December googling "dick pic" brought up over 500 trillion hits. It was estimated that 25-35% of all the lpenises in the world were now digitised and that fewer than 1% of searches would now be free of dick pics within the first 25 hits. Rebel hacker group Anonymous joined the fray by hacking into government and corporate email programes and installing a virus, later made available freely for any disgruntled government or corporate employee to install at their workplace, that would attach a random dick pic to every email sent from those addresses.Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971936879817909917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-3429303508977471162015-04-06T19:34:26.063-07:002015-04-06T19:34:26.063-07:00Saw this earlier.

We need something like this for C-51 in Canada.<br /><br />btw How many regular journalists have gone to Moscow to interview Snowden?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
