The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history,
like the grains of gold in the sand of a river; and the knowledge of the past, the record
of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power
that goes to making the future ...............and remember .....where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control.History has proven that. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Former FBI Director James Comey openly admitted to Congress on March 20, 2017, how the FBI, FBI Counterintelligence Division, DOJ and DOJ-National Security Division, together with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the CIA, had been conducting independent investigations of Donald Trump for over a year without informing congress [the Gang of Eight]. When asked the question, Comey winced, then justified the lack of informing Go8 oversight by saying, “um, because of the sensitivity of the matter?”
Stupidly, Congress never pressed James Comey on that issue. The arrogance of Comey was astounding, and the acceptance by Congress was infuriating. However, that specific example highlighted just how politically corrupt the system had become. In essence, Team Obama usurped the entire design of congressional oversight…. and Congress just brushed it off.
This event, and everything in the background as outlined within the James Comey admission, factually happened. It is on the record, admitted and nothing about the reality of what took place is subject to conjecture or refute.
Yet somehow, we, specifically our congress, just moved on as if what FBI Director James Comey outlined and admitted wasn’t a total usurpation of the U.S. constitution and a collapse in the structure of our coequal branches of government.

The Rise of Tyranny in the United States and the Western world
Paul Craig Roberts
In every country of the Western world freedom and civil liberty are being destroyed by governments, none of which represents the people. One of America’s last remaining journalists, Glenn Greenwald, sees hope that people are catching on and the process can be stopped. My fear is that Western peoples are too weak and uninvolved to reclaim their freedom and that they will accept tyranny with minimal opposition, thus committing all future generations to life under tyranny. In contrast, the elite are determined and have demonstrated the power to discredit, to remove, and, it seems, to indict an elected President of the United States who attempted to represent the people against the elite. Moreover, with control of the media, the elite were successful in turning Donald Trump into a hate figure for roughly half of the US population. The same will happen to anyone who attempts to restore government accountable to law, the Constitution, and the people.
Perhaps the most important lesson in Greenwald’s report, essentially a history of the development of the national security police state in the 21st century, is that no President regardless of political party or ideology, neither Bush nor Trump, Obama nor Biden, can refuse legislation that builds a police state in the name of national security. Those Democrats who once opposed police state measures now favor them because they are useful in getting rid of Donald Trump. In Congress, Republican patriots and leftwing Democrats rush to the support of legislation that destroys their own freedom and turns the US Constitution into a dead letter document.
“No matter how much you hate the corporate media, it’s not enough. It is literally impossible to overstate not only the damage that they do but the malice with which they do it. And by malice, I don’t mean that they’re evil masterminds. I mean malice in the sense of the “banality of evil.” The people who go and punch the clock every day, never question what they’re doing, but whose work is nonetheless incredibly toxic and harmful. They’re just basically sociopathic careerists. But no matter sometimes those people can be the most destructive. “ — Glenn Greenwald
Glenn Greenwald is a rare honest media voice of our time. Edward Snowden understood this and entrusted Greenwald with the documents that proved the Nazi National Security Agency was spying on all Americans in violation both of law and the US Constitution. It was Snowden who was punished for telling us the truth about how far we were down the road to tyranny. The NSA’s crimes were defended and covered up by the Corporate Media. Congress and the White House did nothing to stop the NSA’s disregard for law and the US Constitution. Indeed, they facilitated the NSA’s transgressions.
In this long article, which is more than worth every minute it takes to read it, Greenwald shows the complete disrespect for truth constantly demonstrated by “our government” and the media whores who cover up for the rise of tyranny in the United States. https://greenwald.locals.com/upost/3701904/left-right-alliance-could-end-massive-domestic-spying-program-tucker-carlson-admits-errors-more

Snowden in my opinion was limited hangout for a Beltway op. Maybe NSA. To my recollection Russia had limited and suspicious interest in him. Very murky days we have since Reagan. And really since the death of FDR bringing Truman to the helm. CIA has taken over. Which begs the question of Obama's man, Brennan, the ardent ex-communist.
In Snowden's book and in several of his interviews he mentions that the info he published on the spying was just one small topic in the classified information that he took with him. He said the other topics were unimaginably worse and he chose not to publish info from them. I have long been curious if Snowden's remaining information addresses Biolab assaults planned for humans.
Snowden and Greenwald's cooperation took place after the Morgellon's epidemic and the CDC's response campaign to deny that it existed (labeling patients 'delusional', confiscating licenses of treating doctors, online smear campaigns and infiltrating organizations investigating the issue - gov 'fact-checker' language readily visible on e.g. Wikipedia), following which they quietly moved all of the Biolabs overseas to places like Wuhan and Ukraine, where multiple biolab outbreaks continued to circulate.
Someone needs to get in contact with Snowden to see what he can reveal on this matter. He took those documents with him to Rus. Rus moved into Ukr and strategically took out each and every lab: what our government should have done upon seeing the horrors of Morgellons that their work originally inflicted on people and animals.
