Magic! The Fantastic Feinstein: How To Make Privacy Disappear While Appearing To Defend It

Vatic Note:  So my question is "Why?"  Why is she doing this?  Who is she?  Is she a foreign agent trying to destroy the nation?  I don't know, but its clear she does not see herself as loyal to this country or its founding principles.  We have said that on here several times before, especially after he dragonian gun control bill.

Once you read this very good presentation below, the left will definitely understand why not one single gun owner that I know, will give up their guns to anyone.  Ammo is already being made from scratch to offset the manipulation of availability of ammo within the stores.  Remember Soros, who works for the Rothschild banking consortium, bought up gun ammo manufacturing companies and that is why we have a shortage.

But that is neither here nor there where this discussion is concerned.  It was only brought up to educate the left on why no one will give up any of their guns or comply with any of her unconstitutional mandates where the owners are concerned.  Now you know why.  Its so clear below and added to her proven corruption within her committees and the benefits of same to her husband and herself, financially.... you can see why she wants to be able to spy on all of us without protections offered against such tyranny.

Do you blame her?  Wouldn't all crooks like a break that way?  Of course they would.  If she had acted differently toward all this,  we may have been able to justify her actions in some other way, but its clear that criminality is a large part of the consideration for repression of the American  people.  I have no doubt about that.  Her district needs to help us clean house of these violators of their oaths who were elected in a fraudulent and deceptive way.

Civil libertarians have long viewed Senator Dianne Feinstein (D.,CA) as a menace to privacy and civil liberties in her role on the  Senate Intelligence Committee. She has worked to blocked investigation of torture while supporting warrantless surveillance of our own citizens.

 Recently, many Californians became aware of her role in seeking ever-expanding powers for the security state. Feinstein desperately tried to get citizens to embrace a new model of privacy that allows for their continual surveillance in the latest scandals under her tenure.

That has not worked particularly well so now Feinstein is taking a new approach: she is proclaiming her concern over the dangers of privacy posed by . . . drones. That’s right.

Like the street magicians distracting an audience, Feinstein is trying to get citizens to focus on the use of drones for surveillance and promising some form of “regulation” in the future. The obvious intent behind yesterday’s carefully constructed scene was to present Feinstein in the light of a fighter for, rather than an attacker of, privacy rights.

FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged the law enforcement agency uses drone aircraft in the United States for surveillance in some cases.

Feinstein jumped at the opportunity to declare “I think the greatest threat to the privacy of Americans is the drone and the use of the drone, and the very few regulations that are on it today and the booming industry of commercial drones.” 

The point is obvious. The collection of every call made by every American is not really a big deal in turns of privacy. It is also not a concern to grab hundreds of millions of emails and attachments. No, it is the limited number of drone cases that is “the greatest threat to the privacy of Americans.” Of course, using drones to vaporize Americans without a charge or judicial review does not appear to bother Feinstein greatly.  (VN:  true, how Orwellean is that?)

Feinstein appears to be taking advice from street magicians:

Physical misdirection is a well-known tool for the magician: he points at an object, a big gesture distracts, spectators fixate on a suddenly appearing dove. All are designed to distract from another movement that is vital for the trick.

Psychological misdirection is much more subtle – a good example is the false solution. This is where the magician leads spectators to believe they’ve worked out how the trick is done. Once this ‘solution’ is suggested people are much less likely to notice the clues that crop up as to how it’s really done. 

Instead people look for confirmation that their own theory is correct. When the magician finally shows this ‘solution’ is no such thing, spectators are left even more bemused. The false solution is, therefore, not just a happy coincidence, it is used as a distraction from the real solution.

Of course, Feinstein and the White House never intend to reveal the trick. With few people buying the new privacy model, Feinstein wants to get people to look at a problem that will then be “solved” by her. . . And presto, your privacy is gone.

I hear that her next trick will be to saw the Separation of Powers in half by further supporting the unchecked powers of the President.

Of course, Obama, Feinstein, and others in Congress live by the same oath when it comes to telling the public anything:

“As a magician I promise never to reveal the secret of any illusion to a non-magician, unless that one swears to uphold the Magician’s Oath in turn. I promise never to perform any illusion for any non-magician without first practicing the effect until I can perform it well enough to maintain the illusion of magic.”

This is why an oath to testify truthfully is not binding on people like Clapper and not enforced by people like Feinstein. They are honoring an older oath to each other.
