CISPA is back - Call your Congressman

[FlimFlam]

If you have concerns about potential overreach by the NSA, I may have some bad news for you. It seems they are trying to revive CISPA (Wikipedia link to original bill).

From GamePolitics.com:

One of the loudest voices in favor of CISPA is General Keith Alexander, director of the National Security Agency and head of U.S. Cyber Command. Alexander said today that, in order to protect American interests from cyber attacks, the NSA needs the cooperation and trust of the public and the private sector. Alexander made his comments during a speech at the Telecommunications Industry Association’s annual conference. In his speech he defended the NSA's vast surveillance programs and said that much of the reporting based on documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden were inaccurate.

Alexander told attendees that the debate surrounding the NSA surveillance programs is holding up the discussion about new cybersecurity legislation. Policymakers believe it is essential that corporations and government agencies should share data freely and corporations should have immunity from lawsuits. These two things are at the core of CISPA.

Keith Alexander is friends with the VP of CGI, CGI developed Healthcare.gov. CGI owns Silver Oak Solutions. SOS created NSA favorites like a program to collect all email address, a program for mapping cell phone locations and PRISM. CGI also owns Stanley Inc. Stanley won a contract to print U.S. passports. Two Stanley contractors were fired for illegally accessing presidential candidate Barack Obama's passport. One employee from Anaylsis Corp. was reprimanded for also accessing Barack Obama's passport. CIA Director John Brennan was the CEO of Analysis Corp. at the time. After the passport breach, John Brennan was named "Counter-terrorism Czar" by President Obama and the key witness in the passport breach was murdered. Michael Hastings was about to go public about all things John Brennan, he died in a "car wreck". I'm moving into my bunker.

So what we're supposed to do here is sit back and trust the word of a paid, professional liar?

Umm...Yeah, we'll get right on that.

<bull and sh*t> Why would they be so after Snowden's hide if he was exposing BS information?
