Obama NSA Speech/Open Thread
— DrewM

Just starting now on all the cable nets.

If this is really what he's going to propose, it's the dumbest thing this idiot has done yet. That's an impressive achievement given his record.

1. Give Privacy Act rights to foreigners.
...
The first reform strikes me as ludicrous. Why should foreigners have any privacy rights against the United States government? Privacy is a constitutional right that a citizen has against his own government Â— I have no more a right of privacy against Saudi ArabiaÂ’s government than a Saudi Arabian should have against NSA surveillance. Under the Privacy Act, an American has the right to see the information held on him or her by the government Â— will Dr. Zawahiri, the head of al-Qaeda, have a right to request his government file now?
The suggestion shows that the Obama administration seems to worry as much about the rights of potential terrorist suspects as it does about the Americans who are their potential victims.

I want tight controls on what the US government can do to Americans. Foreigners? That's WHY we have an intelligence community.

Added: He's going to announce that we'll stop spying on some foreign leaders. Unilateral disarmament isn't just for nuclear weapons!

Lot of hamstringing our FOREIGN intelligence here.

For that reason, the new presidential directive that I have issued today will clearly prescribe what we do, and do not do, when it comes to our overseas surveillance. To begin with, the directive makes clear that the United States only uses signals intelligence for legitimate national security purposes, and not for the purpose of indiscriminately reviewing the emails or phone calls of ordinary people. I have also made it clear that the United States does not collect intelligence to suppress criticism or dissent, nor do we collect intelligence to disadvantage people on the basis of their ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. And we do not collect intelligence to provide a competitive advantage to U.S. companies, or U.S. commercial sectors.
In terms of our bulk collection of signals intelligence, U.S. intelligence agencies will only use such data to meet specific security requirements: counter-intelligence; counter-terrorism; counter-proliferation; cyber-security; force protection for our troops and allies; and combating transnational crime, including sanctions evasion. Moreover, I have directed that we take the unprecedented step of extending certain protections that we have for the American people to people overseas. I have directed the DNI, in consultation with the Attorney General, to develop these safeguards, which will limit the duration that we can hold personal information, while also restricting the use of this information.

I updated this because I thought what he was proposing was more limited than it first appear. This is a pretty amazing retreat for the US.

More from Obama's speech:

Given the unique power of the state, it is not enough for leaders to say: trust us, we wonÂ’t abuse the data we collect. For history has too many examples when that trust has been breached. Our system of government is built on the premise that our liberty cannot depend on the good intentions of those in power; it depends upon the law to constrain those in power.

Unless you know, Congress won't let him to something he really wants to do.

Chutzpah, thy name is Obama.

12 From Drew's link: 1. Give Privacy Act rights to foreigners. 2. Prohibit the government from collecting telephone metadata and instead require it to ask the telephone companies to conduct searches for the data. 3. Creating an office to challenge search warrants sought from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Courts. And this will help how?

He asked to talk to the security officer in charge, left his cell. #, then disappeared. The school went full tilt freak-OUT. Some teachers started arming kids w/compasses, all the phone system alerts started going off, crazy. The reporter was going to local schools "testing" security. My wife and i are NOT amused.

40 So the courts were supposed to review the search warrants, but they became a rubber stamp. Another layer of bureaucracy is the answer! So now there is a group that's supposed to challenge the warrants (which is what the courts were supposed to do). So what are the odds this new group won't become super-corrupted by leftists?

Interesting. I'm seeing some room there for a de facto government takeover of the phone companies.

Which one of them is going to balk at the idea of turning over data? I seem to recall we had that discussion years ago, when Bush was in office. I forget how it turned out, but nowadays, does anybody think it's a good idea, if you are the CEO of a large corporation, to tell the government to pound sand when it comes a-calling?

This is par for the course with the local mediots in ever market "looking out for you" and being "on your side". They have morphed investigative journalism (which is hard) into do-gooder advocacy (which is easy).

The best thing about it is that there will be no apology and no ramifications. The media has a long history of creating messes and blaming them on "the system".

Here it is printed in its entirety: First Lady Laura Bush celebrated her 60th birthday on Saturday at the Bush family's ranch in Crawford, Tex., where the President gave her a triple-strand amber-colored necklace. With the pressure of Tuesday's upcoming midterm elections in the background, the Bushes spent the weekend at the ranch, and on Saturday hosted friends including Lois and Roland Betts, Regan and Billy Gammon, Debbie and Jim Francis and Nancy and Mike Weiss for a dinner of enchiladas, tamales, guacamole, rice and beans and birthday cake. Sunday is the first couple's 29th wedding anniversary. They will celebrate in Crawford before President Bush heads out on the campaign trail in a l0-state swing. The President turned 60 in July.

...even though all this data collection won't prevent another 9/11 because all they are doing is collecting the data, not looking at it, until after another attack when we can then used that collected data to round up everyone he needs to send to detention camps until things get sorted out.. you see?

And, a little pissed about the overall reaction of the school, read: the 'situation." Please bear in mind I live in a community where a guy who was well known to local cops did the following: Waited in a parking lot adjacent to city hall. Shot and killed a cop who was approaching him to chat. Took his gun, walked into the city hall meeting, killed 2 more cops, (both of whom I knew), and started shooting at the city council members. 6 dead total.

And they are correct. They don't realize just how correct, or else they would be trying to forestall the killing of the golden goose. Something about unintended consequences. But when have they ever had consequence in their pampered, drinking cocoa with both hands lives?

326 BF was definitely a moron The essay goes on to discuss the way different foods affect the odor of flatulence and to propose scientific testing of farting. Franklin also suggests that scientists work to develop a drug, "holesome and not disagreeable", which can be mixed with "common Food or Sauces" with the effect of rendering flatulence "not only inoffensive, but agreeable as Perfumes". The essay ends with a pun saying that compared to the practical applications of this discussion, other sciences are "scarcely worth a FART-HING."

350 Please bear in mind I live in a community where a guy who was well known to local cops did the following:
Waited in a parking lot adjacent to city hall. Shot and killed a cop who was approaching him to chat. Took his gun, walked into the city hall meeting, killed 2 more cops, (both of whom I knew), and started shooting at the city council members. 6 dead total. That was in 2008, but feels like yesterday.

Well I can certainly see how a crazed gunman shooting some cops five years ago would lead to schools arming students with pointed instruments and parents wailing hysterically because a reporter walked down a hall. That's just good common sense.

It can be fun, and they really are retarded and dense...

but Jake didn't respond

395 The station pulled this stunt at 5 local high schools. They fucked with our emotions to create a news story. If you don't get that it sucks to get the automated call telling you your kids school is on lock-down, I guess you need to pull your gristle encased head out of your ass.

He pulled the stunt of leaving his name and number with the school and then walking down the hall? Well of course the school would go on full lockdown for an hour and arm the kids with sharp objects. Why wouldn't they?

That reporter really pulled a fast one by exposing that your kids school is ruled by retards. I can see why you'd be mad at him.

396 I caught a bit of the speech today. Completely worthless waste of 30 seconds of my time (which is how much I saw of it). He comes across as an idiot in school who thinks he is so smart. I always feel like I am listening to a book report by a mediocre student.

OT: Posted by: Brave Sir Robin at January 17, 2014 12:03 PM (rWxHU) --- That is totally inappropriate for a reporter to do that.

402 What the Own-Goal Cultural-Equivalency Transnational Left, which can't understand the difference between Bush-spied-outward, Obama spies inward, also doesn't ever get regarding "citizens" and "foreigners rights," is: Foreigners don't have US legal, civil rights. Because. For over 230 years, any group of schmucks in whatever territory of wherever, since Delaware, had to approve, accept, and swear to the US Constitution, and oblige it to others, before even talking about admittance, and subsequent bestowing of civil rights to themselves to violate. First things first. You ain't givin' to the reservation, you ain't gettin' on the reservation.

404 President Obama's Department of Justice wants to "expand its definition of racial profiling" so that federal agents will no longer be able to consider religion, national origin, or gender/sexual orientation in their investigations...

ACLU national security attorney Hina Shamsi praised the proposed changes, saying: "Putting an end to [these profiling techniques] not only comports with the Constitution, it would put real teeth to the F.B.I.'s claims that it wants better relationships with minorities."

not a coincidence. this was announced yesterday

406 98% of what he says is the opposite of what reality is. The other 2% were just slips of the tongue that were dead on true how he plans on total destruction..er..transformation. Polling showed this would be good for the wobbly kneed fans. Cue up the lies.

"nor do we collect intelligence to disadvantage people on the basis of their ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs"

Really? Wow, I'm glad to know this. The NSA won't be wasting their time digging through tons of metadata to find out whether I'm black or not so they can then discriminate against me. It's like a tic. It's not even a reflex - it's a tic. A thing that you do because you *never* step on a crack on the sidewalk or twist your hair with your left hand when you're nervous.

"Chutzpah, thy name is Obama"

Sadly, Obama is also the name of extreme inanity. *SMH*
