She’s a Girl.

Please allow me to explain something…

It’s unreasonable to believe Hillary Clinton could understand all the extremely complicated, dare I say convoluted, rules and requirements associated with holding the office of Secretary of State.  She did the best she could.

She’s a Girl.

To think Mrs. Clinton is capable of operating more than one electronic communication device for Official Business and a separate such device for Personal use is foolish.

She’s a Girl.

If you’re appalled that the people she surrounded herself with did nothing to aid her in complying with security measures being practiced by all Government Employees holding a Secret clearance and above, then you must not be taking into account their fear of sudden irrational bursts of anger and acts vengeful retribution.

She’s a Girl.

Taking into consideration a natural disposition to be flighty and irresponsible it is no mystery why Hillary could decide to create a private server outside of secure Government channels in order to communicate with the State Department, friends and family simultaneously.

She’s a Girl.

To be surprised at this level of incoherence, incompetence and unaccountability only illustrates your personal level of denial.

She’s a Girl.

Finally, the ease of which she ‘misrepresents the truth’, regarding all the above matters, when it appears to suit her… demonstrates…

She’s a Girl.

And, She will get away with it… because she can’t be expected to know what’s she’s doing.

(Feel Free to substitute “a Girl” with; “Old”, “Senile”, “Socialist”, “Leftist”, “Enemy of the State” or “Smartest Person in the World”.)


Who Knew?

Not a day goes by that I don’t learn something.

Today Hillary Clinton taught me, in her words, “It is left to Government Employees to determine what is government related and what is personal”.

I did not know that.

I expect this will also be news to Edward Snowden and Miss Manning… among others… but I digress.

So this afternoon, we were educated in how the Federal Government handles classified and government related e-mail correspondence.

They leave it to the Employee to decide.

While I must admit it is rare, if ever, I find a Government Policy to make things more efficient… I have to concede, this would be one.

Brilliant in its simplicity, this policy may be the first to genuinely streamline what would otherwise be considered crushing levels of redundant bureaucracy.

We also learned this afternoon that this policy extends to Cyber Security as well.

Again, I have to admit that much of the Cyber stuff is way over my head, like Firmware hacking such as Greyfish or various other Cyber Espionage and Cyber Warfare spyware.

But clearly… the State Department has made sure that all of their employees are capable of safeguarding their own, personally installed in their home, Servers. I can’t even imagine the hours of instruction and levels of knowledge one would have to individually possess in order to create such system. Good thing it’s Mrs. Clinton and not one of us Stupid people doing this type of complicated IT work.

So there you have it. There is nothing to see here… and besides, other people have done it so it’s okay anyway.

What?

Other Government Employees have not installed their own personal servers at their homes to handle all of their official, and some unoffical, e-mail correspondence?

Well… then… it’s a vast right-wing conspiracy just like when all those Republicans accused Bill Clinton of having sex with that one girl when he didn’t.

What?

He did? Well… everyone else was doing it too. And besides, it was just very, very, very heavy petting… which it not sex.  Nope.  Not sex.

Huh?

The whole thing was actually about sexual harassment, law Clinton himself championed, and there were over 20 women who had come forward regarding his errant sexual behavior, some even accusing him of rape? And then he lied about it under oath and lost his law license?!

Whatever!  Shut up!  Haliburton!  Bush Lied!  Dick Cheney!

I apologize, for that. My wife talks to me over my shoulder when I tap.

Finally, what we learned today is it’s nobodies business what’s on your personal, totally secure, server at your home.

The NSA learned something from Mrs. Clinton today as well…

She’s very Smart.  And Honest.  We’d be Lucky to have her as President.


NSA has been hacking Chinese Computers for Years!

Well, I would hope so.

This will reside in the “So What?” category.  Who exactly was this message meant for, Chinese nationals in the Occupy Movement?

PRISM leaker and former NSA contractor Edward Snowden “revealed” this surprising bit of information today.

With STUNNING revelations such as these, the percentages are moving in favor of my Counter-Intel Op guess… sorry… theory.

The establishment is working diligently to undermine the believability associated with Snowden.  Now he seems to be working on doing the same thing.

So far, what secrets has he revealed?

Wait!  Wait!  Wait!

I have one!

The Chinese have been hacking U.S. Computers for Years!

No Way!  That’s unbelievable! Right?

Or… How about this one:

A lot of people look at porn on their computers!  And… And… And, they have done it FOR YEARS!

Holy Cow!  Who Knew?

It’s so ridiculous that this hacking revelation was offered up as a story it hurts my head.

I EXPECT the NSA to do, or try really, really hard darn it, to do exactly that.

I DO NOT EXPECT the NSA to collect American Citizens phone, e-mail, soon.. medical records, and place them in permanent storage for future reference.

Do we think the Chinese are stupid enough to want this guy now?

Do we think they are as imbecilic as the Iranians were when we sent them the stealth drone and they plugged it into their computer systems?

As far as Snowden is concerned… I’m done with him.  He served his purpose in disclosing the NSA’s improper, unconstitutional, and hopefully illegal behavior.

If he disappears I’m not sure that I will care very much.

Frankly, if he wants to make a point then come back to the U.S. and enjoy three squares a day while awaiting trial.  I might take his side… I might not.
