In the wake of the NSA leaks we’re being told to trust the government with our simple data, it’s the leaker we need to worry about. Edward Snowden takes to the web to defend his name, while the top officials in US intelligence answer softball questions read from prepared statements.

This week, we’ll examine the claims, scrutinize the testimonies, and bring you up-to-date on the largest invasion of words privacy we’ve ever seen.

Plus the FBI admits to operating Drones within the US, your feedback, and much much more!

Right and Left Attack Snowden

As usual, the media has decided that, instead of looking at the problems of the NSA spying on it own citizens and the entire scandal surrounding it, it has taken to attacks on Edward Snowden, the whistleblower behind the leaks. The Guardian article presented the facts and didn’t speculate on Snowden or his character because it isn’t a necessary part of the story. Other media outlets, however, are ignoring the massive violations to the constitution that the NSA has committed and decided to participate in ad hominem attacks.

Edward Snowden burst in public view when the 29-year-old identified himself as the source of leaks about the National Security Agency’s surveillance of Americans. Here are 10 things to know about Snowden.

Snowden Holds Online Chat

Edward Snowden, who acknowledged leaking top-secret documents about extensive U.S. surveillance of telephone calls and Internet communications, claimed in an unusual live Web chat Monday that he sees no possibility of a fair trial in the United States and suggested that he would try to elude authorities as long as possible.

Hearing Party

The National Security Agency and Justice Department mounted a vigorous defense of the government’s controversial surveillance efforts on Tuesday, with NSA chief Gen. Keith Alexander claiming they have helped prevent “potential terrorist events” over 50 times since 9/11.

The government has been passing around some “talking points” to politicians and the press trying to spin the NSA surveillance story. We’ve got the talking points about scooping up business records (i.e., all data on all phone calls) and on the internet program known as PRISM.

A recent briefing by senior intelligence officials on surveillance programs failed to attract even half of the Senate, showing the lack of enthusiasm in Congress for learning about classified security programs.

The director of the National Security Agency was overheard offering a round of beer to the FBI’s second-in-command following Tuesday’s congressional hearing on the NSA’s controversial surveillance programs.

Former NSA Employees Corroborate Ed’s Claims

USA Today has published an extraordinary interview with three former NSA employees who praise Edward Snowden’s leaks, corroborate some of his claims, and warn about unlawful government acts.

Thomas Drake, William Binney and J. Kirk Wiebe belong to a select fraternity: the NSA officials who paved the way.

For years, the three whistle-blowers had told anyone who would listen that the NSA collects huge swaths of communications data from U.S. citizens.

Done Update

Robert Mueller, the director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, confirmed to lawmakers that the FBI owns several
unmanned aerial vehicles, but has not adopted any strict policies
or guidelines yet to govern the use of the controversial
aircraft.

Private citizen contractors engaged in the theater of battle might seem common place now, thanks to the war on terror, but in reality it’s one of the most transformational changes our Military has ever gone through, and most of us never noticed.

ACT 1: A new once a day drug can help prevent HIV infection, but it’s been announced during a major FDA Spying scandal, plus the biggest threat facing the United States of America, according to Lamar Smith.

ACT 2: How did companies like Blackwater get their start, what major policy changes were put in place to make this legal, and what the future looks like for these companies. We answer those questions, and a lot more.

ACT 3: It’s your feedback, and some of our follow up.

All that and much more, is coming up right now on, Unfilter.

ACT ONE:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
+ Lamar Smith, who is pushing for this new legislation, is the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee which (according to his website) \”is the second oldest standing committee in Congress. In the last Congress over one thousand bills and resolutions were referred to the Judiciary Committee on such subjects as terrorism, crime, immigration, bankruptcy, civil liberties, constitutional amendments, and patents and copyrights. Lamar Smith is the first Republican Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee from Texas.”

  • \’\’The greatest threat to America is not necessarily a recession or even another terrorist attack. The greatest threat to America is a liberal media bias.\’\’ – Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX)
