Donald Trump Versus the "Enemy of the State"

"Enemy of the State," starring Will Smith and Gene Hackman, carries an exceptional currency with the modern moment even though it was filmed in 1998.  (WIKI:  Enemy of the State (film))

Jerry Bruckheimer was the producer and we can always count on massive explosions from him.  That's part of the attraction of the film but much more it's about the oppressive and invasive surveillance by the state and specifically it's about a telecommunications bill to permit even more intrusion.

That storyline is accurate to exactly the confrontations which for twenty years we have seen repeatedly on Capitol Hill ... except for the murder.  This isn't a bit on conspiracy theories so expand with as many names of people the Clintons murdered as you like and I'm sure the list is long and distinguished but it isn't the point.


In a single administration, Barack Obama made everyone an Enemy of the State or potentially one and that gave he via NSA the justification for hacking every telephone and network in the world.  No-one in the history of the planet ever hacked so many things ... and got away with it.

The justification for that last is Obama's pushing for the Patriot Act, NDAA, solid endorsement of the CIA and NSA, etc, etc.

From the standpoint of the White House everyone is an enemy or potentially one and America never turned that on all of its people at once before.  It has happened in segments of the population with the internment of Japanese civilians during WWII but never with everyone in the country.


In "Enemy of the State," the NSA is using every tactic at its disposal to hunt down Will Smith and that includes satellite surveillance along electronic tracking via cellphones and bugs, etc.  When the movie was filmed, it wasn't legal to do that to America but, after Obama, it is now.


Meanwhile, James Clapper doesn't really seem too sure who is the enemy of the state since he's got a story for every occasion.  (RT:  US ex-intel chief Clapper believes Russia-Trump claims, despite ‘no evidence to his knowledge’)

This is where it gets dance-y with this cat.

“We didn’t include evidence in our report that had any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians.  There was no evidence of that included in our report,” Clapper said, referring to a paper compiled by the NSA, FBI and CIA, together with the office of the DNI.

When asked if such proof even existed, he said: “Not to my knowledge.”

In the same interview, I just love the pirouette.

Clapper, however, still appeared unable to put his finger on where to look for any proof of the alleged “dissension-sowing.”

Asked if he still believed the Trump-Russia collusion claims, Clapper stated: “Yes, I do.”

Clapper is not the first to face questions over the issue of any substantial proof – or the lack thereof – of the Trump-Russia allegations.

Jethro:  it looks to me like that boy's potato patch is growing pumpkins


The amazing part is anyone believes James Clapper about so much as his birthday and yet he remains a noted authority.


Donald Trump has done some delicious pirouettes of his own, sometimes on a daily basis, regarding the CIA when sometimes they represent a major asset and at others they're untrustworthy skankmongers.

There isn't much concern about anyone getting tense about shooting at Trump since he's revealed himself to just about everyone as just another addlemorph who went nuts after he crossed the White House threshold.


Jethro:  so really the problem is the White House rather than the politicians?

It looks that way.  As soon as they move in there, they go nuts.  It happened with Obama, Clinton, Biden, Trump, one after the other so that reveals the immediate answer.

Jethro:  make another White House somewhere else?

Imagine the big fun as the states jockey for which one should host the New Washington.

Jethro:  they may end up eating each other!

Yeehaw
