If It Stops Just One Des Moines Knitting Club Terror Plot …..

Ellsberg, who rose to fame in 1971 when he turned over the infamous Pentagon Papers to The New York Times, pulled no punches. He said that Edward Snowden’s recent leak — which revealed that the National Security Agency has been collecting Americans’ data for years — is the most important in United States history, and that the government’s sweeping access to our metadata leaves us “a turnkey away from tyranny.”

People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.

    Ellsberg may have had some kind of sudden epiphany now as he nears his demise.

    However this little SOB had no such intentions with the Pentagon Papers. Like the majority of “anti-war” malcontents, he wanted to hand over the yellow skins to the Communists, because donch’a know, they need a strongman to unify them and control them. Democracy and freedom are for white folks.
