You Are Being Watched - CBS Censors 'Person Of Interest' Youtube Video Critical Of NSA


During Comic Con in June 2013, CBS released and posted several 'Peron Of Interest' videos on youtube. One of those videos mixed POI footage with CBS news footage in a way that mocked Director of National Security James Clapper, who perjured himself while giving testimony before a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_R._Clapper#False_testimony_to_Congress_on_NSA_surveillance_programs


Apparently the embarrassment of the false testimony mixed in with a mocumentary was too much for Keith Alexander and company to handle in the mist of public scrutiny surrounding the surveillance apparatus, and I am guessing, but I'd bet CBS pulled the video after pressure from the spy agency.


Here are the links and references made to the missing video

Fortunately I collect now so I can review later, so I have an archive of the video in question and may post a link to it later.

What pressure? What can the NSA do if CBS tells them to pound sand?
"Pull that video or we're gonna spy on you some more?" Well, that's a
helluva threat, considering they're already apparently collecting
everything.

Contrary to what Hollywood would have you believe, NSA is merely a
sigint collection agency. They don't have operatives with guns, running
missions and "disappearing people". They're a bunch of tech nerds
sitting in dark rooms tapping on keyboards.

They have DoJ and the Feebees available to do any leaning.
Ask Aaron Swartz about how hard they can push.

"Remove the video or we'll release those pictures of the CBS CEO and a
certain woman that isn't his wife", obviously.

And all CBS has to do is make it all public, since any such 'leaning' is
patently illegal and CBS's video is not. "Look what the FBI is doing
today." Show it off for all to see. Put some FBI guys in jail.

The NSA is run by treasonous scum who should be put to death. That agency has
become the enemy within and has for all intents and purposes declared war
against the American people, eviscerating the Bill of Rights. Keith
Alexander and his henchmen should be dancing on the end of a gibbet. This
would send a very clear message. (The death penalty, IMHO, is a perfectly
acceptable means of dealing with truly heinous crimes such as public
officials violating their oath of office.)

Is the farm scene of Harold as a child new material, or was it

Contrary to what the government would like you to believe,
the IRS, FDA, EPA and other ostensibly "white-collar" agencies
have armed and militarized operatives.

We've become a police state, where anything remotely illegal
results in a full-out SWAT team descending on the offender.

Well, were it not for the 8th Amendment which prohibits cruel and unusual
punishment, I would say they should be thoroughly tortured before being
publicly executed. Hung by the neck until dead would do nicely. Or
gassed. Or electrocuted. Even a nice old-fashioned firing sqaud. Nice
thing about a rope, though, is that it can be reused. (I expect there
would be no shortage of volunteers willing to pull the lever or throw
the switch no matter what method was chosen.)

Our public servants take an oath to defend the Constitution from
enemies internal as well as external. Time for them to take their
oath of office seriously and take these treasonous thugs down.

Nacchio had the misfortune of actually having committed crimes-- insider
trading.

Yeah, insider trading isn't some technical surprise crime that no one
knows about.
