REPARATIONS

Governments that are elected sometimes have to make reparations to citizens that have been grievously wronged by either prejudice or mistake. This is certainly the case with Edward Snowden (and Julian Assange by association). Snowden certainly revealed secrets, but the guilty parties were the various Government agencies that saw nothing wrong with using skills and equipment designed for fighting a war with a foreign adversary against fellow countrymen (and close allies). Just think about this “parable”.

Three boxers are standing in a line at a supermarket behind a trio of elderly ladies. With a secret signal, they begin pounding the helpless women with all the power and accuracy that they have learned in their years of training! When they get to the cashier one of them smiles and says “You don’t need to call the police – we’re Boxers. It’s what we do.” Snowden is like the cashier and Assange is like the floor manager.

This is surely a time for reparations to be made. It is time to reign in these rogue regimes. If the United States has not declared war and is claiming to be a “friendly” country, all of these agencies need to be ERADICATED!
