Bless the USA!

I’m eternally
grateful that curious and justice-minded Edward Snowden grew to
adulthood without becoming jaded, wedded to power and position,
or prescribed into numbness by ubiquitous authority.

His less than
stellar performance within the public schooling machine was an early
cause for celebration. Despite his nonconformity in state schools
– or perhaps because of it, Snowden was and is very interested in
serving his country and fellow man.

Believing his
country needed him in the military, he enlisted and tried to get
through some serious combat training. Perversely, his broken legs
in training probably preserved his moral compass. Early on, he noticed
his military instructors were more interested in getting trainees
to enthusiastically kill Middle Easterners than in preserving and
securing the country. This makes sense. Expeditionary volunteer
forces, mercenaries for an empire, whatever you want to call the
modern American standing army, must emphasize the attractiveness
and the excitement of the fight rather than the necessity of it.
To do otherwise would be self-defeating and hypocritical. To admit
the truth beforehand would be harmful to recruitment, as much as
record
suicide rates do after recruitment.

Snowdon has
confirmed what has already been reported and published in books
by James
Bamford and others. The aims and workings of the US Congress
and Executive branch have studied and reported for years, and we
understand the agenda both in terms of bureaucratic
tendencies as well as specific
executive goals in the post 9/11 era. So far, nothing really
new has been revealed, and all neoconservative state worshippers
of both parties have to complain about is that Snowdon confirms
the existing suspicions and expectations of the majority of Americans.

What angers
the D.C. elitists is that one more serf stood up and publicly denied
the commands of the government father figure.

Implicit in
the phrase “to suspect” is a sense that all this government
surveillance and data capture and storage is bad. A minority of
Americans suspect their government. On the other hand, “to
expect” is somewhat value neutral – and sadly a majority of
Americans expect the government to own its citizens, their communications,
their written and verbal commentary, their networks and friends,
their very thoughts and imagination and dreams.

Many
Americans seem willing to give away our fundamental humanity
to empty bureaucrats, hated federal representatives and even employees
of the widely despised IRS and TSA. They lie back and take it, so
to speak. Being repeatedly raped in this way – invaded, owned, subdued
and frightened – is not just what so many “law and order”
types and state-loving neoconservatives advocate with a wink for
prisoners in our many penitentiaries, it is apparently what they
advocate outright for every man, woman and child in the country,
every day.

Perhaps Americans
don’t mind this daily rape by the state because they have become
used to it, or perhaps, like abused wives and children, they feel
there is nothing they can do – the state also supplies so much that
they need, so they feel they must endure the bad side of being a
citizen.

Perhaps they
are afraid. At least what is being done today is survivable, endurable;
perhaps what could happen may be worse.

Perhaps they
feel they deserve no better. They
already give it away all the time already, so who would believe
their claim of rape so late in the game?

For a country
and a government so intensely concerned about the treatment of far
away Afghani women by a patriarchal clan system, it has little problem
with the same kind of state-enforced ownership of the daily communications
activities of 300 million average Americans – real-time collection
of metadata plus content storage for years – without consent or
court order.

Clan leaders
in Afghanistan justify their traditions as safer for women, and
in their best interests. Curiously, that’s the same excuse given
by the ruling goons in D.C.

Ron Paul is
right. “The government does not need to know more about what
we are doing. We
need to know more about what the government is doing. We need
to turn the cameras on the police and on the government, not the
other way around.”

Of course,
the U.S. government is so large that it is impossible to know what
it is doing, and if we could know, it would be impractical to monitor
it. The better choice is to drastically limit it, and current trends
show us that this is already happening. Law and constitutions certainly
haven’t worked, but happily the federal government borrows
or prints 46% of what it spends, a percentage that has been
inching up for years. We the people are not directly financing the
growth of government, even as we the people seem to demand more
and more government spending. Inflation, currency collapse, and
peaceful secessions of the productive parts of the country will
ultimately comprise “payment due”, and it will be traumatic. But
we have already stopped directly funding nearly half of our excessive
government.

As Gary North
points out, government monitoring of everyone is relatively cheap,
efficient and technologically easy. Further, it supports the driving
state objective of continuing government growth and borrowing by
ensuring taxes are gathered, property annotated, and opposition
voices punished, quelled, and silenced.

The fevered
obsession of our rulers with everything we are doing, writing, saying
and thinking is simply one more sign that the clay foundation of
the corporatist state is crumbling. The ongoing bankruptcy of the
state, financially and morally, is on display and it is to be celebrated.
The very overreach of government is its undoing, and the fact that
Russia and China are both publicly condemning the behavior of the
United States government is sweet icing on the cake.

Much
as in Russia and China, we the people in America don’t exercise
positive power over our government. Elections are kabuki dances,
entertaining but we know how the story ends. Like serfs everywhere,
we only have the negative power of consent – we
get what we tolerate. Edward Snowdon decided to withdraw his
consent, and his action offers each of us multitudinous opportunities
to withdraw our consent as well.

He is an enemy
of the state. May he live long and prosper!
