Federal Judge Finds N.S.A. Wiretaps Were Illegal
By Charlie Savage and James Risen | NY Times
A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the National Security Agency’s program of surveillance without warrants was illegal, rejecting the Obama administration’s effort to keep shrouded in secrecy one of the most disputed counterterrorism policies of former President George W. Bush.
In a 45-page opinion, Judge Vaughn R. Walker ruled that the government had violated a 1978 federal statute requiring court approval for domestic surveillance when it intercepted phone calls of Al Haramain, a now-defunct Islamic charity in Oregon, and of two lawyers representing it in 2004. Declaring that the plaintiffs had been “subjected to unlawful surveillance,” the judge said the government was liable to pay them damages.
The ruling delivered a blow to the Bush administration’s claims that its surveillance program, which Mr. Bush secretly authorized shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, was lawful. Under the program, the National Security Agency monitored Americans’ international e-mail messages and phone calls without court approval, even though the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, required warrants.
The Justice Department said it was reviewing the decision and had made no decision about whether to appeal. Read more.

Bush and Obama, along with the Injustice Department run by Eric Holder should be prosecuted for their criminality, failure to uphold the Constitution, international laws, and impeached for their Fascist, legalized support of police state laws, like the Patriot Act.
Start prosecuting War criminals, Law Breaking Presidents or Resign Now.
ILLEGAL??? . . . DAMN!!! That's what I said!!! . . . ;-)

"A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the National Security Agency’s program of surveillance without warrants was illegal, . . . "
But . . . but . . .but good ol' General Michael "4th Amendment" Hayden assured everyone that "no one knows the 4th Amendment like the NSA". . . ;-)
. . . then he invoked the "Divine Right of 9-11" and pulled rank . . .

Guess what happened then, kidz!!! . . . ;-)
Remeber all those "Watch Lists" that good ol' dual national Zionist Michael "Wanna Buy A Body Scanner Or Get Dancing Israelis Home" Chertoff was sure to include in his so-called
"Patriot Act" . . .
"Michael Chertoff"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Chertoff
. . . that same "Patriot Act" that Michael "Mr. 9-11 Non-Investigation" Chertoff just happened to have all ready to go right after 9-11 . . .
. . . all those "Watch Lists" that no one is allowed to see for "National Security" reasons . . .
Well, guess what happens when the Homeland Security Goon Squad shows up at all the businesses that you have contracts with . . .
. . . businesses that just happen to have lots of Government and Military contracts . . .
. . . and these Shadow Cabal "Golem" inform these businesses that they are doing business with someone that is on a . . ."WATCH LIST"!!!! . . .
. . . in closed door meetings that "never happened" since as part of the "Patriot Act" you can go to jail if you tell someone that is on a "Watch List" that they are on a "Watch List" . . . ;-)
See how that "Neutralization" game is played, kidz? . . ;-)

Hmm, I replied . . . "I stand with the U.S. Constitution, so where does that put ME???" . . . ;-)
Well, I lost all my contracts, my business, my home, my farm, and my professional and political career . . .
Meanwhile, good ol' General Michael "4th Amendment" Hayden went to work with his old Zio-Treason buddy, . .. ;-)
(clipped text from Michael Chertoff Link Above)
"Since leaving government service, Chertoff has worked as Senior Of Counsel at the Washington, D.C. law firm of Covington & Burling.
He also co-founded the Chertoff Group, a risk management and security consulting company, which employs several senior officials from his time as Secretary of Homeland Security as well as Michael Hayden, a former Director of the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency."

Now that this judge has finally acknowledged that these NSA/TelCo acts were ILLEGAL . . .
. . . one must ask, "Cui bono? Who benefits" . . who could possibly benefit from a Nation Wide/World Wide illegal electronic surveillance program???

Gee, if only we could find some "pattern" that would tie all these events together . . .
. . . something, some little detail, that maybe Homeland Security, The FBI, the Corporate Main Stream Media, Michael Moore, and Oliver Stone missed . . . or overlooked . . .
. . . some "Missing Link" . . . ;-)

"Missing Links"

. . . that would explain to WE THE PEOPLE who really BETRAYED us, the Rule of Law, and this Great Republic . . .
. . . those that blamed the sacrificed innocents . . .
. . . and betrayed US with the lying kiss of a false friend . . .
Alas, it just seems to elude this ol' fool from North Cackilacki . . . ;-)
Maybe some of you kidz can figure it out . . . ;-)
"So much for the golden future,
I can't even start
I've had every promise broken,
There's anger in my heart
You don't know what it's like,
You don't have a clue
If you did you'd find yourselves
Doing the same thing too
Breaking the law,
Breaking the law"

WOW!!! This NSA story disappeared from the Zio-Media faster than CNN's viewer base!!!! . . . ;-)
"CNN Fails to Stop Fall in Ratings"
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/30/business/media/30cnn.html?hpw
I noticed yesterday that by noontime all the dying dinosaur corporate Main Stream Zio-Media was starting to bury this NSA story. Then by mid afternoon, it had been scrubbed completely!!!
Must make room for more "Tiger Woods" stories, I guess . . . ;-)
However the NEW Media still considers this quite an IMPORTANT piece of NEWS . . .
(clipped headline and article from Prison Planet)
"The Criminal NSA Eavesdropping Program - While torture and aggressive war may have been the most serious crimes which the Bush administration committed, its warrantless eavesdropping on American citizens was its clearest and most undeniable lawbreaking.
Federal District Judge Vaughn Walker yesterday became the third federal judge — out of three who have considered the question — to find that Bush’s warrantless eavesdropping program was illegal. . . "

Now, to this ol' fool from North Cackilacki that helped design and implement these systems . . . the REAL story here is that this entire Post-CALEA Telecommunications infrastructure has been compromised by a FOREIGN Nation that cares not for OUR laws about "Warrants" and such . . .
How does it work? Well in 1994, before the "War on Terror", the Zionists were busy pushing the "War on Drugs" . . .
The argument went that due to the sophistication of these modern drug smugglers, Law Enforcement couldn't keep up using the old "Get A Warrant and physically put a 'Tip-Ring' wire tap on the phone lines".
So, all the new phone switches and Internet servers had to have "back doors" installed so that individual trunk lines or TCP/UDP sessions could be "split" and "rerouted" so that these could be monitored remotely. . .
Thus was born "CALEA" with Slick Willy's approval . . .
"Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act 1994"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Assistance_for_Law_Enforceme...
Now, the "trick" is that most of this actual work to implement CALEA was outsourced to a FOREIGN GOVERNMENT . . . yup, our "Special Friend" . . . ;-)

And you kidz wonder why over 300 of our Congress-Critters would openly commit TREASON . . . ;-)

They are scared because they know what our "Special Freinds" and their MOSSAD have in each of their "files" . . .
Remember, under this Talmudic/Darwinist/Marxist mindset, you don't trust ANYONE that you can't destroy . . .
"In God We Trust" . . .
As we have seen time and time again, any time any American Leader dares to question Israel, The Federal Reserve, Rothschild, etc. . . suddenly, there is some unrelated "scandal" supported by phone call records, e-mails, or text messages . . .
. . . and it is put in 24x7 rotation on the Zio-Media "Character Assassination" machine . . .
Connect the dotz . . . see the pattern, kidz . . . ;-)
"'Cause when you call me on the telephone
Saying take me to the show
And then I say, honey, I just can't go
Old lady's sick and I can't leave her home
The telephone is ringing
You got me on the run
I'm driving in my car now
I got you under my wheels
I got you under my wheels
I got you under my wheels
Yeah yeah"
