“We want to use the front door with clarity and transparency,” he said.

Anyone who uses my front either rings the doorbell ,knocks but most certainly calls ahead to make sure I’m there , Then it’s up to me to let them in ,If they choose to force entry they may be shot beaten and on a slab. encryption is equal to my right to bear arms.

Comey is a Golden Keyhole…

There is reason to suspect that the FBI played a part in the Anthrax Attacks, back in 2001. Certain elements in Congress were stalling over the passage of the USA Patriot Act, which was simply the FBI’s perennial wish-list. So these delaying elements began receiving, ah, bouquets, of anthrax, and the bill was rapidly passed. In the following months, it gradually became apparent that the anthrax had come from the United States Government, and yet, no one drew the obvious inference. Unable to deny that the anthrax had come from the the United States Army laboratories at Ft. Detrick, the government went to great, and even extraordinary, lengths to frame a man named Steven Hatfill. Hatfill was more of a “policy wonk” than a working scientist, and attempts to incriminate him tended to founder on his lack of opportunity to gain access to the right kind of anthrax. Retroactively, it became apparent that the framing of Hatfill was done to protect Bruce Ivins. Ivins does not seem to have had any kind of political connections of a sort likely to involve him in a armed attack on Congress, yet the evidence of his having provided the anthrax in question is overwhelming. Ivins eventually went more or less insane, doubtless due to guilt at what he had done, and committed suicide when the investigation eventually swung back in his direction.

Some years ago, a man named Ed Lake formulated the hypothesis that there were two parties, the “Supplier” (a government scientist with inside access, who provided the anthrax), and the “Agent,” someone outside the government research establishment, who received the anthrax and used it. Ivins was the supplier, it seems. The Supplier-Agent hypothesis explains why Ivins became involved in drastic political terrorist actions which were out of character for him. Forget the FBI’s silly suggestions about a persecution complex directed at a college sorority. Ivins handed over the anthrax, because someone gave him the right order, and probably did not tell him what was going to be done with the anthrax. The FBI is a prime suspect for having provided the Agent. It was very convenient for the FBI that Ivins committed suicide. He might otherwise have made a full confession in court, and named the agent. Ivins was a tormented man whom the government had tricked, Ender-Wiggins-fashion, into being a mass-murderer.

Now, key portions of the USA Patriot Act are being nullified by advances in technology, notably in encryption and address cloaking. “The murderers among us” are being forced out into the open to defend their ill-gotten gains.

James Comey, himself, was a senior official in the Bush Administration’s Justice Department at the time that much of the anthrax investigation was taking place. He is not obviously unimplicated. At present, he is probably “carrying water” for FBI insiders who committed various crimes in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001. He must be made to testify before Congress about what he knew, and when he knew it.

Would any of us be surprised if we learned they did what they wanted anyways in open contempt of the legality of it.

Congress didn’t (literally) say ‘bite us’. See how Techdirt twists everything in the worst possible light! And you claim to be pro journalistic integrity.
