Constitutional Amendment and The Right to/of Privacy.

I am not a constitutional scholar, a lawyer, or a Legal Rights Specialist – and yet, I know in my heart that we are being denied it (a God Given Right to some privacies); and if the constitution does not clearly state that fact … then it needs be amended. I’m Just Sayin’ … .


These United States of America urgently needs to address all notions – public and private – in regard to every citizens right to [expected] privacy. The Terms need be listed, defined, debated, redefined and instituted across the land.

This is about more than the Office of the President of The United States … it is about YOU … and me.

It is morally, civilly, ethically, wrong to invade and betray any citizens privacy – including gathering, sharing, storing, all data associated with our daily lives.

Respectfully, I submit, we are beyond the notion of interpreting and applying our Constitution on these matters in this 21st Century. We need NEW constitutional law – and I don’t care how it effects the pocket books of Google, Microsoft, Business that use those advertisement streams of cash … their effected bottom lines … are moot.

Freedom Includes Varying Rights To Privacy – regardless of the state of the country and its time that such a fact, right, and notion is front and center in a Constitutional Amendment regarding The Right to/of Privacy.

I am not a constitutional scholar, a lawyer, or a Legal Rights Specialist – and yet, I know in my heart that we are being denied it (a God Given Right to some privacies); and if the constitution does not clearly state that fact … then it needs be amended.

 It Means”OK”   … It Means PEACE Re: ADL’s List of Hate Signals

Re: It means "OK" B and ‘V’ A it means PEACE!

Sent to "ADL" ‘Fighting Hate For Good’ in response to their new List of Hate Signals

"You have rights [thanks to many good men and women before us] and I’ll not point and say "you can’t have ‘a list’ [of ‘bad’ hand signs]".

There are many[lists], and it’s good information; however, when one set of peoples’ ‘rights’ clash with another peoples’ rights – how is such a difference of opinion settled?

I don’t know – probably each case is unique – that said, we have a difference of opinion.

I have been saying, and using, [the] ‘ok’ sign since I was 4 and it never meant anything [and still does not] but ‘okay’.

It’s part of the language [our American language]. Don’t make me a goon because  use it or say it.

Same for ‘Peace’. When I ‘throw’ a ‘V’ Aw my hand and fingersIT MEANS PEACE.

You, nor any list, … can change that… at least not yet. Thanks for allowing my opinion and comment."

So, these tiny flowers are absolutely remarkable [and common in Central New York]. I guess they are a type of ‘weed’. So, in some photos it is not clear that this precious flower  – the actual little purple flowers are so small I could fit about 15 in the circumference of a US Dime. Each flower is smaller than a small pea! Even 1/5 the size.

Now, our grass is mowed [like all around the country] regularly; here the blade cuts to about 3 inches or so. So, here is the remarkable part … these guys ‘learned’ [adapted] and developed to full maturity … at a height of just UNDER the repeating cutting blade of the mower!!

A few photo’s seem out of focus, but my aim in adding those is to offer some perspective – bringing single blades of grass – into sharp focus to show the tiny environment they thrive in.

General Flynn? He should be awarded a medal; and, this outcome will be far better than a pardon.

I don’t pretend to know more than any person who may be reading this; even so, I sense, surmise, deduce, …  activities that came to surround General Michael Flynn after the election of President Trump is mind boggling, sad; … and very, very wrong. Immoral at least, and illegal as well. Frankly, – the word ‘sinful’ comes to mind.

I can not imagine how despondent, rejected, abandoned, alone … [General Flynn] felt in those days, weeks, months … while ‘the good guys’ slowly, [albeit surely], gathered their resources and information to right the many wrongs wrought upon him, his family, his friends, those who served with, and under him, and above him. A lifetime turned upside down.

Deep State? Yup. Remarkably, there has been such a ‘thing’ for many, many, years – but only recently has so much attention been devoted to shedding some light on the notion; and, it still needs more light so that The People can better understand and direct their government in right and positive ways.

General Flynn? He should be awarded a medal; further, although this process was surely painful, hurtful, harmful to [General Flynn’s] health, well being, spirit … I believe the outcome is an incalculably better by far than a quick presidential pardon. A pardon would have left a cloud … forever.

General Flynn, you and yours, have been and will remain in the prayers of millions of Americans. We regret the price you paid … for our freedoms to [ultimately] be better protected; it was sinful what was done to you.

With great thanks … .

France heat waves leave nearly 1,500 dead – according to health minister

 

Maybe it is true; it sounds reasonable to me in these times: Anyone who works should not be ‘poor’.

However, let us quickly look over to France where 1,436 people – most elderly – DIED because of a Heat Wave! Died… 1,436!

In this country, the government insures that elderly [and poor young ones too!] have both Heat and Cooling year round!

Lots of things wrong with our country today … but too, lots of great things too!

Time for Brennan and Clapper to be held fully responsible …

Time for Brennan and Clapper to be held fully responsible …

This is a story from CNN and it is clear to me that although the two former US Government leaders have been, for the larger part, silenced and warned off leaking and lying about President Trump

                … they are now reverting to these ‘behind the scenes’ leaks … and it is unacceptable. These men [not sure which leaked this – but] each are equally dangerous and need be held accountable for all their actions through today.

                More than losing privileges – these man need be openly shut down.

                I’m Just Sayin’ … .

Here is the story that prompted my own post:

Washington (CNN)In a previously undisclosed secret mission in 2017, the United States successfully extracted from Russia one of its highest-level covert sources inside the Russian government, multiple Trump administration officials with direct knowledge told CNN.

A person directly involved in the discussions said that the removal of the Russian was driven, in part, by concerns that President Donald Trump and his administration repeatedly mishandled classified intelligence and could contribute to exposing the covert source as a spy.

The decision to carry out the extraction occurred soon after a May 2017 meeting in the Oval Office in which Trump discussed highly classified intelligence with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and then-Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak. The intelligence, concerning ISIS in Syria, had been provided by Israel.

The disclosure to the Russians by the President, though not about the Russian spy specifically, prompted intelligence officials to renew earlier discussions about the potential risk of exposure, according to the source directly involved in the matter.

At the time, then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo told other senior Trump administration officials that too much information was coming out regarding the covert source, known as an asset. An extraction, or "exfiltration" as such an operation is referred to by intelligence officials, is an extraordinary remedy when US intelligence believes an asset is in immediate danger.

A US official said before the secret operation there was media speculation about the existence of such a covert source, and such coverage or public speculation poses risks to the safety of anyone a foreign government suspects may be involved. This official did not identify any public reporting to that effect at the time of this decision and CNN could not find any related reference in media reports.

Asked for comment, Brittany Bramell, the CIA director of public affairs, told CNN: "CNN’s narrative that the Central Intelligence Agency makes life-or-death decisions based on anything other than objective analysis and sound collection is simply false. Misguided speculation that the President’s handling of our nation’s most sensitive intelligence—which he has access to each and every day—drove an alleged exfiltration operation is inaccurate."

A spokesperson for Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declined to comment. White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said, "CNN’s reporting is not only incorrect, it has the potential to put lives in danger."

Wide concerns about Trump in intelligence community

The removal happened at a time of wide concern in the intelligence community about mishandling of intelligence by Trump and his administration. Those concerns were described to CNN by five sources who served in the Trump administration, intelligence agencies and Congress.

Those concerns continued to grow in the period after Trump’s Oval Office meeting with Kislyak and Lavrov. Weeks after the decision to extract the spy, in July 2017, Trump met privately with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in Hamburg and took the unusual step of confiscating the interpreter’s notes. Afterward, intelligence officials again expressed concern that the President may have improperly discussed classified intelligence with Russia, according to an intelligence source with knowledge of the intelligence community’s response to the Trump-Putin meeting.

Knowledge of the Russian covert source’s existence was highly restricted within the US government and intelligence agencies. According to one source, there was "no equal alternative" inside the Russian government, providing both insight and information on Putin.

CNN is withholding several details about the spy to reduce the risk of the person’s identification.

The secret removal of the high-level Russian asset has left the US without one of its key sources on the inner workings of the Kremlin and the plans and thinking of the Russian president at a time when tensions between the two nations have been growing. The US intelligence community considers Russia one of the two greatest threats to US national security, along with China.

"The impact would be huge because it is so hard to develop sources like that in any denied area, particularly Russia, because the surveillance and security there is so stringent," a former senior intelligence official told CNN. "You can’t reacquire a capability like that overnight."

Months of mounting fear

The decision to pull the asset out of Russia was the culmination of months of mounting fear within the intelligence community.

At the end of the Obama administration, US intelligence officials had already expressed concerns about the safety of this spy and other Russian assets, given the length of their cooperation with the US, according to a former senior intelligence official.

Those concerns grew in early 2017 after the US intelligence community released its public report on Russian meddling in the 2016 election, which said Putin himself ordered the operation. The intelligence community also shared a classified version of the report with the incoming Trump administration, and it included highly protected details on the sources behind the intelligence. Senior US intelligence officials considered extracting at least one Russian asset at the time but did not do so, according to the former senior intelligence official.

In the first months of his administration, Trump’s handling of classified intelligence further concerned intelligence officials. Ultimately, they decided to launch the difficult operation to remove an asset who had been working for the US for years.

The President was informed in advance of the extraction, along with a small number of senior officials. Details of the extraction itself remain secret and the whereabouts of the asset today are unknown to CNN.

CNN’s Marshall Cohen contributed to this report.

 

No Confusion-He’s Right: Biden claims illegal immigrants ‘become Americans before a lot of Americans become Americans’

For a number of reasons, I don’t listen to ex VP Joe Biden for more than a few seconds – often to double check a fact…

Even so, I want to take a minute to say very clearly – I agree with the premise of his statement. For sure.

Some immigrants, legal or not, have become ‘Americans’ before many who were, and are, born here!

He’s right.

I’m Just Sayin’ … .

Here is the piece that led to my comment:

2020 presidential hopeful Joe Biden had another head-scratching moment out on the campaign trail Thursday when he claimed illegal immigrant children "become Americans" before actual United States citizens do.  https://fxn.ws/2ZHfoEj
