I personally stopped 103 plots.

[Warren Stupidity]

I cannot reveal the details as that would compromise my ongoing activities to keep America safe.

[Skittles]

1. I WILL KICK PLOT-BLOCKING WARREN STUPIDITY ASS

YES INDEED

[Warren Stupidity]

3. I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION

[Skittles]

5. I WILL KICK FARTING WARREN STUPIDITY ASS

YES INDEED

[BlueStreak]

16. If I alert on this thread, that will means I will have thwarted 278 terrorist plots

With nothing but my bare hands and keyboard.

Let's see Chuck Norris beat that.

[Skittles]

27. LOL

[Ellipsis]

46. Well you obviously didn't see Expendables 2

[Fire Walk With Me]

63. A DUzy here, a DUzy there, a DUzy everywhere! :)

[CatWoman]

66. couldn't have said it better

[ohheckyeah]

2. Notice the zombie

apocalypse hasn't happened? That's all me man, stopped those sucker's plot cold.

[Warren Stupidity]

6. Thank you for your service.

And god bless America.

[ohheckyeah]

10. You're welcome and

back at you.

We're No. 1

[Voice for Peace]

45. how about the Prince of Darkness Thwarting. Was that you, too?

[tavalon]

48. Oh Heck Yeah!

Thank you, keyboard warrior. You're my hero. Zombie apocalypse is my worst fear.

[ohheckyeah]

56. Thank you very much....

I live to serve.

[Logical]

4. I assume you had imaginary secret warrants. If so, carry on. n-t

[DontTreadOnMe]

7. But there ARE elected officials in Congress that do know the details of the stopped plots.

Just what if... they really did stop a serious plot?

I am starting to see a positive outcome for spying on EVERYONE... seems to me that a whole bunch of corporate criminal activity should be easily uncovered. Tax evasion should be the top of the list.

[cherokeeprogressive]

8. "a positive outcome for spying on EVERYONE..."

Fucking insane.

[DontTreadOnMe]

23. So it seems clear that the government IS spying on us... so I guess the whole world has gone

Fucking INSANE! Welcome to reality.

[snappyturtle]

32. Simply, "no". nt

[treestar]

9. That is an interesting issue

What if the government used the data to prosecute the banksters and the corporatists? Then it might not be unconstitutional.

[Warren Stupidity]

11. Oh for fuck sake of course it would. Read the goddamn 4th amendment.

[ohheckyeah]

13. It's that damn blue pill and I

don't mean Viagra.

[treestar]

25. I'm saying people here would suddenly not find it unconstitutional

The same posters who find it horrible now might find it not so bad were it used to prosecute the banksters.

And you have to read a lot more than just the Fourth Amendment to have much expertise on the subject of unreasonable searches and seizures and probable cause.

[Warren Stupidity]

28. No. Just no. I think you are just uncomfortable with your own positions on this issue.

[treestar]

31. You have little idea what you are talking about

When it comes to the Fourth Amendment. And no interest in learning more about it before spouting off. You are cursing mad because you know that and are being called on it and projecting onto me your discomfort that you've gone overboard.

I'm sure you want to start right now defending the privacy rights of the "banksters." Make a post saying that even the banksters and corporatists have a right not to have their phone call metadata transferred. The government should not be spying on the banksters either. See what the result is.

[Warren Stupidity]

37. Shameless drivel.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Yes of course it applies to everyone. Even banksters.

But you have done a 180 here, first accusing "us" of hypocrisy because we would support warrant less spying on "banksters", and now of coddling them for not supporting it.

[Katashi_itto]

54. Wow. That is the most pathetic logic.

[Ms. Toad]

51. You would be wrong about that. n/t

[Hydra]

60. No the Banksters crimes are documented

We don't need more evidence, we need a President who isn't chums with them.

We don't need to break the law to save the world, as you seem to keep suggesting. Quite the opposite, in fact.

[Demeter]

72. We don't need no stinking warrantless wiretaps to prosecute banksters

We just need to put Holder in jail, for not using the evidence he has. And move on it before the statute of limitations kicks in, or another plea-bargain, get out of jail fine deal is struck.

[tavalon]

49. I'm just guessing, but I think Treestar was posting in the vein of the thread

[jtuck004]

59. "What if the government used the data to prosecute the banksters and the corporatists?" Then we

wouldn't be having this conversation, because it would have ended in less time than it takes a billionaire to have a lackey pop the cork out of a champagne bottle.

[ohheckyeah]

12. Is that sarcasm?

Like they will go after corporate criminals.

[LisaLynne]

14. I'm the one going after the corporate criminals.

Sadly for America, I suck at it.

[ohheckyeah]

15. LOL...

not your fault. They are slicker than zombies.

[treestar]

26. People on DU are always demanding that the banksters be prosecuted

So what are they willing that the government be able to do to get the evidence?

[zeemike]

33. Well sense the corporation is a person

then all the amendments applies to them too...right?
But are they looking at the corporations books and computer logs for signs of terrorism or crime?...nope, they have the right to privacy that we don't have....so they are the real people and we are not.

[treestar]

35. They have the metadata on every call

That must include all the banksters' calls too. So what if eventually they get some evidence from the metadata that gives them probable cause to wiretap a bankster and from that get evidence to prosecute for stealing from the people? Are we going to have threads standing up for the bankster's privacy rights?

I just found this an interesting question in that I've seen on DU much condemnation of the banksters and demands they be jailed. So that involves getting evidence against them.

[Ms. Toad]

53. All of the threads protesting the NSA actions apply to all call data

not just the data of people we like. The means have to be consistent with the goals, and if we want a society that values civil liberties trample civil liberties to get there, even when the civil liberties belong to people we don't like.

[ohheckyeah]

34. I can't really speak for them. Maybe you should ask

them.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

65. Of course they should get evidence

And they should get it with a warrant that specifies what they're looking for and is based on probable cause. Good police work does not require a domestic surveillance state.

[ReRe]

55. I betcha....

... the 1%/corporatists are exempt.

[reformist2]

58. DontTreadOnMe ---> DoSpyOnMe?

[pacalo]

61. The corporate world wouldn't indict itself, let alone, legitimately investigate itself.

What if the main purpose of spying on all Americans is look out for business profits & gain. Monitoring bank accounts for all sorts of reasons that would give the banks a bigger edge over their struggling customers.

[L0oniX]

17. I plop'd 103 times in the last 103 days.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

29. That's just you getting your shit together.

[Squinch]

18. Warren, I keep telling you! That plot you stopped with my phone records wasn't a plot. It was a

damn bundt cake recipe. Now take off these handcuffs, and let my grandmother out of jail. I mean it!

FFS.

[Warren Stupidity]

19. All your bundt cake are belong to us.

[Squinch]

20. My Nana's going to kick your ass. You're in big trouble

[marions ghost]

22. ---

[Progressive dog]

21. I'll bet you did

[blkmusclmachine]

24. It's double super secret,

with extra bipartisanship and 11 Dimensional Rope-a-Dope goodness.

[napoleon_in_rags]

30. That's nothing.

I personally brought down America's most dangerous terrorist organization, DIMWIT. They were speaking in "code", so things like "soda" meant" nuclear bomb. I alone figured out their code, and stopped them from getting their bombs. Then I busted them, by bringing an ice cream full of explosives and asking them if they wanted anything. They said yes, so I was able to arrest them. Th00e whole operation only cost $7 billion of taxpayer money.

EPIC WIN!

[tavalon]

50. Epic Duzy!

[Dash87]

36. I personally went back in time and killed Hitler.

You're welcome, America.

[HardTimes99]

62. I stopped the Rapture single-handedly. On second thought, maybe

I should have just let Jesus have His followers.

[ismnotwasm]

38. I personally know Elvis is alive.

He's part of a top secret government organization that has the secrets of rejuvenation. He will live forever. What do you all think that buddy buddy stuff was with Rchard Nixon was about?

[Lady Freedom Returns]

39. Do did not do what you did...

You will go home and forget you ever did what you did.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

40. I personally stopped 110 plots

[Warren Stupidity]

42. You plot stopping seven upper you.

[Egalitarian Thug]

41. I was in the military and can't reveal any details, but you're all alive because I'm a hero!

Plus of course, I had help from God. Couldn't have done it without him.

[cliffordu]

43. I ate too many potato chips last night,

Stopped this morning's plot.

Man am I plugged.

And mean.

[tavalon]

52. I think you mean this morning's plop

I love this thread. I hate what birthed it, but it's a great thread!

[cliffordu]

77. No - My morning plot.

I think about this shit all the time.

[octoberlib]

44. Thank you for keeping America safe from the evil-doers nt

[tavalon]

47. Duzy

Not just for you but for half the responses in this thread.

Sometimes satire is the only thing that can get us through!

[lumberjack_jeff]

57. Curses! Foiled again! n/t

[avaistheone1]

64. Frankly there is no telling how many plots I stopped.

k&r

[rpannier]

67. Congrats But stopping that Alen Invasion is still my work

Don't you dare try and take that credit

[burnodo]

68. I plotzed

I know it's not the same, but I'm doing my part

[Swede Atlanta]

69. That is so old hat...

I stopped at least 150 plots by using my divining rod and my hearing aid.

The NSA has nothing over on me.

[Earth_First]

70. One dollar, Bob! nt

[Demeter]

71. That's a SERIOUS Case of Writer's Block, Warren!

Maybe a creative writing class?

[Warren Stupidity]

73. !

[scarletwoman]

75. DUzy!

[Thav]

74. And I would have gotten away with it too...

If it weren't for you meddling kids!

[MjolnirTime]

76. poor little baby. nobody listens to you. maybe you should hold your breath.

then you'll get your way.
