The sext messages of former U.S. Representative
Anthony (Carlos Danger) Weiner have become a national news item again in the
race for Mayor of New York. Anthony's Weiner has taken a dimension larger than
that of porn stars and is somewhat legendary now, regardless of the facts of
Vienna sausage or foot-long and other red herrings. Hot dogs of technology, the
N.S.A. probably intercepted and recorded the sext messages of Anthony Weiner
like those of the more discrete officials presently in the U.S. Government.
A majority in the U.S. house of Representatives voted recently
to extend the right of the N.S.A. to record the phone calls of everyone in
America and the rest of the world so far as possible. That will enable Big
Brother to pan for the gold of all the hidden conspiracies of the world and
keep Americans safe. Cynics compare the policy unfavorably to the national
issue of gun control. The N.R.A. did not defend the right of Americans to have
private phone calls free from federal surveillance, and so the effort to repeal
the power of the N.S.A. to make a record of every phone call possible failed.
Two hundred seventeen congresspersons against ending the
N.S.A.'s phone record making power. Without the N.R.A. probably the same
congresspersons would vote to end the right of Americans to keep and bare arms.
The arguments for and against keeping the second amendment unrestricted and the
N.R.A. phone record program restricted are virtually the same. The price of
civil liberty is a little violence and risk of violence.
The power of a government to know whom its citizens talk to
every moment of their lives is extreme. Sure Al Qaeda would find it easier to
organize the deaths of some rich people in lofty Wall Street towers where dark
pools trade under the radar with cash at zero interest provided by the federal
government, yet some Americans are willing to risk the danger to the rich in
order to have private phone calls to people without the government knowing
about it.
At least the N.S.A. should share its data in the abstract with
the people of the United States so they can learn the quantity information on
what countries people from blue states are calling most in order to find out
what states are the most globalist and un-American. How many Californians are
on the phone to Mexico every day and how many Bostonians are hanging on the
phone to London? It would be useful to learn what rich people are calling
Zurich a lot in order to better calculate appropriate tax policy. One of the
main problems with the N.S.A. phone record policy is that it is of benefit
primarily to the rich and to government contractors and of little practical
value to telemarketers wanting to better design products to sell to Anglophile,
Mexicophiles and Islamo-chatists.
The Congress should direct the N.S.A. director to prepare a
monthly abstract statistical study of who and where Americans are talking to
overseas state by state and nation by nation and post it on a government web
site. It would be good to have hard data to show who the most un-American
globalists are and where they live to pin responsibility on some politicians
for failing to create jobs in the U.S.A. for everyone that wants one.
Anthony
Weiner's sext messages like that of others with personal pornographic content
should be called something else that isn't deprecatory to texting. It wasn't
sex-texting that is at issue in the personal porn pics of Mayoral Candidate
Weiner.
