An outrage and violation of the highest order

Many of the people searching through the haystacks were young, enlisted guys, 18 to 22 years old. They’ve suddenly been thrust into a position of extraordinary responsibility, where they now have access to all your private records. In the course of their daily work, they stumble across something that is completely unrelated in any sort of necessary sense – for example, an intimate nude photo of someone in a sexually compromising situation. But they’re extremely attractive. So what do they do? They turn around in their chair and they show a co-worker. And their co-worker says, ‘Oh, hey, that’s great. Send that to Bill down the way’, and then Bill sends it to George, George sends it to Tom, and sooner or later this person’s whole life has been seen by all of these other people.

Edward Snowden just stated that, as a matter of course, the United States government commits felony sexual abuse.

And when I walk into a cafe, or am shopping for groceries, and someone there, whom I’ve never met, is smirking at me and clearly has a look of odd amusement at me, what am I supposed to think?

It was just in the news that a gynecologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore was found to have been secretly recording the genitals of his patients during gynecological exams. Those patients suffered extensive trauma and psychological harm because of this and were awarded hundreds of millions of dollars.

How much more damaging is it already, based on what is known about government invasion of our lives, knowing that anyone in our presence could be a rapist?

At least the women who were patients at Johns Hopkins could know exactly who it was that had seen images of their genitals. Imagine their horror if they knew or strongly suspected that tens of thousands of people, who could be anywhere around them at any time, had seen them.

It is an outrage.

I personally don’t even care anymore about living. Every day I think how it would be preferable to die than to this. I am living a a victim of the highest order of violation and abuse that continues day after day, and there is no accountability for it. No justice whatsoever. Just endless mockery, harassment, and abuse.

This is America in 2014. A sick, satanic, rapacious country run by thugs.

And who does the American government give its money to? The number one recipient of foreign aid from the US is Israel to the tune of over $3 billion annually in military aid.

Everything is utter, complete bullshit.
