Promised by the federal government: “No drones over the US.” WRONG
A blatant and bald-faced LIE.
From RT.com:
FBI director admits domestic use of drones for surveillance
The FBI uses drones for domestic surveillance purposes, the head of the agency told Congress early Wednesday.
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.
“Does the FBI use drones for surveillance on US soil?” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) asked Mr Mueller during an oversight hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“Yes,” Mueller responded bluntly, adding that the FBI’s operation of drones is “very seldom.”
Asked by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) to elaborate, Mueller added, “It’s very seldom used and generally used in a particular incident where you need the capability.” Earlier in the morning, however, Mueller said that the agency was only now working to establish set rules for the drone program.
A lie before; a lie again.
Let us not forget this is the same blithering idiot — FBI Director Robert Mueller — who conveniently knew “nothing” about the IRS scandal.
And it is that you trust your federal government to do what precisely?

“Tyranny is always lurking just around the corner.”
A quadruple does of hypocrisy, anyone, with a festoonage of lies and more lies?

Computer Access Not Restricted, Lerner Continues to Log In to IRS System
From NationalReview.com:
Lois Lerner, the Internal Revenue Service’s director of Exempt Organizations currently on paid leave, has not had any of her computer access restricted since she abdicated her responsibilities, according to an IRS source with knowledge of the situation.
Lerner was placed on administrative leave on May 21 after refusing to tender her resignation, and logged into the IRS’s computer system using her agency computer as recently as June 4, the source tells me. She has the ability to access the same information that was available to her before she was placed on leave. The sources tells National Review Online:
[Lerner] can still access taxpayer data. If your duties do not inlude dealing with taxpayers, you are forbidden from seeing the information. That is a violation of IRS policy, and if she actually accesses any file that contains any Personal Identifiable Information, it is a felony violation. That would include emails that she has in her files discussing any taxpayer case that contains the name, address, phone numbers or tax data from a case. Actual Unauthorized Access (IRS uses the term UNAX) would be a really good reason for the new boss to can her in a hurry. I am sure a simple examination of her email files and hard drive would discover she still has taxpayer data.
Since Lerner is not currently dealing with taxpayers while on leave, she is forbidden from accessing any taxpayer data, though her computer permissions allow her to do so.
Imagine that. No accountability once again during a Demorat Administration.
And the hits and abortions just keep on coming.

Justice Department Fights Release of Secret Court Opinion Finding Unconstitutional Surveillance
Again, the Obama Administration — which “promised” to be the most transparent in history — is proving itself the complete opposite: the most OPAQUE in history and the most strident in keeping information from the electorate.
From MotherJones (Of all places!):
Government lawyers are trying to keep buried a classified court finding that a domestic spying program went too far.
| Fri Jun. 7, 2013 12:22 PM PDT
In the midst of revelations that the government has conducted extensive top-secret surveillance operations to collect domestic phone records and internet communications, the Justice Department was due to file a court motion Friday in its effort to keep secret an 86-page court opinion that determined that the government had violated the spirit of federal surveillance laws and engaged in unconstitutional spying.
The violations and abrogations of our Constitution and Bill of Rights go on and on and on, one abortion after the other, and still you have to dig and scrape and pry and unearth to discover what’s going on in your very own back yard, your very own country!
Further, the American Media Maggots, like thousands of domestic cats, do their very best to paw the sand over the daily piles of steaming shit created and served up by Mr Obama in DC. They’re happy to do it. Overjoyed.
Then they become packed and bristling with umbrage and scarlet outrage when the obvious is pointed out: their mouths and faces are coated with years of old and cracked DC shit along with the fresh strands of fecal materials dripping from their very teeth.
Never before have I seen an American press so willing to become such abject coprophages for Washington DC. It is beyond disgusting. And never have I been so disillusioned by the American electorate for installing this pseudo-black American Destroyer not once, but twice — mostly because they want more Free Cheese.
This is detestable. Beyond shameless. I lack further abominable words at this point.
I say — and this administration proves me correct — that if you thought the political damage stemming from Washington is bad, just wait another week.
It gets worse.
Keep pushing, Mr Obama. I don’t think America will like what’s just over the horizon.
Gird thy loins, America. Be prepared.
