NO! Spying on other nations is the real cause of international tension.

From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
Actually both responses are true. The people of the world are furious about the NSA spying, reading our mail, emails, listening to our private calls, and also it comes out that several other "free" countries' governments are also spying on their own people, and using our NSA data to control everyone else.
This is beyond ridiculous. Not only.do the billionaires, military, elite, GOP, congress, senate, all of them, not pay us a fair wage, not pay taxes, try to control women's health choices, hide their taxable money and move our economy and jobs to other countries, then they take the products they made in China back to the USA to sell them here, back to us!
Then they release drones 24/7 over our heads, sell them to whomever can afford them, with no regulation or safety or impact studies whatsoever and engage in constant spying, not LIKE a police state but AS a police state, threatening our safety as much as terrorists do...so what is going to keep the drug cartels from getting these drones? Are we now going to have War on Drugs up in our atmosphere now? And drone crashes on top of our heads, and have to put up with accidents that are really hits? For pete's sake-- have they no sense, no shame, no decency at all? Are they completely crazy? Shouldnt we all sue them?
What now? What else are they going to do without our consent or knowledge?Can you even shoot down these drones with guns? Do we need to give up our guns and hoard drones now instead for personal protection?
And what about the true purpose of all those barbed wired FEMA camps (barb wire facing inside the camps to prevent any escape), that obviously are NOT for natural disaster assistance since they have refused to help any states having weather crises or other emergencies? I dont see terrorists yet occupying them so WHO ARE THEY FOR? We should ask DHS or Obama to sell them all, and sell at least a hundred of those extravagant underground bases and make them pay off the national debt with all this wasted taxpayer money that none of us are, or will, benefit from. Or let us regular people rent a bunk there for the cost of renting a room or apartment. At least they would be earning income to pay more for public domestic programs.!
If you read this on the air, call me "a disgusted citizen" This is just a fraction of what I have to say. At least I have the guts to leave any comment. What's with your other readers? Afraid, are you, to leave any comments because NSA might read them, probably? Well leave a comment anyways people, express yourselves or we have no free speech if we all stop speaking.
And they won't stop allowing Monsanto GMO foods, contamination of our food supplies, and prevent these plants, like weeds, from overrunning natural crops and depleting soil nutrients, No they won't even label these foods to let us know where they put them, and they put them in our baby foods and infant formula (Gerbers, kelloggs cereals) to poison our babies and toddlers, and us.. The congress won't stop the spraying of pesticides and fungicides that have already wiped out 70 percent of honeybees needed to pollinate food crops-- this will cause mass starvation and force us to eat that patented artificially genetic engineered GMO food and other nutritionally inferior foods that we don't control or like. Stop spraying these chemicals,you selfish greedy corporations, you killed off and wiped out almost all the midwest USA butterflies and now you are wiping out the bees we need for food.We don't want your stupid scientifically designed artificial pollinators!! Leave our bees, butterflies, and our food and water alone

meh, who cares. I'd like to think we aren't going to start a nuclear war with russia and the rich aren't going to let the economic ties between the US and Russia get compromised.
Besides, America is in the wrong on the whole thing.
