Jeb Bush: NSA Needs Broader Powers to Combat 'Evildoers'
Ass. Press ^ | Aug. 18, 2015 | Bill Barrow

Posted on 08/21/2015 10:22:10 AM PDT by Izzy Dunne

Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush said Tuesday that the government should have broad surveillance powers of Americans and private technology firms should cooperate better with intelligence agencies to help combat "evildoers."

[...]

"There's a place to find common ground between personal civil liberties and NSA doing its job," Bush said. "I think the balance has actually gone the wrong way."

Evil-doers like the Bush Crime Family and their wholly-owned subsidiary, The Clinton Crime Family?

Bush also criticized private technology firms for using encryption to make it harder for their customers to be surveilled. "It makes it harder for the American government to do its job while protecting civil liberties to make sure evildoers aren't in our midst," he said.

Somebody should tell him that weaker encryption makes it harder for the "evildoers" to break INTO the gubmint info places.

Somebody should 'splain to him that the 'evildoers' are sometimes IN the gubmint.

Yeah, it’s like me boycotting Starbucks. For over sixty years now.

You want to buy something, just so you can boycott them all over again...

Wow! “Less liberty, less privacy - more government surveillance and control” is quite a campaign slogan. Maybe he should go with “Totalitarianism because anything less is just a halfway tyranny” - Vote Jeb the candidate for a stronger Mexico and a bigger American government.

Yeah, that’s right, Jebbie— “evildoers” who are described in in Janet Napolitano’s DHS white paper. “Evildoers” like Iraq and Afghan Wars veterans, retired military, “Christian identity” groups (you know, the people who, unlike the Bushes and Clinton/Saudi oil alliance, recognize the reality of islamofascism: that ALL of us are infidels and are to be killed per mo ham head’s word’s from all-ah’).

Our current admin has islamofascist embedded within the very structure of the national security apparat. Start by ID’ing them— and removing them, permanently. Begin with the National Security Advisor.

This ain’t a meeting of Skull and Bones, Jebbie— with everyone toking up with their int’l. girlfriends. We are a LOOOONG way from that BS.

And, finally— what are “personal civil liberties” exactly, jebbie? Do you mean The Bill of Rights— AS WRITTEN?
Doubt it. Because YOU think that the 14th Amendment grants a “noble heritage” of citizenship upon BIRTH in the US. What an absolute moron of flabby annoying NWO mediocrity and private club elitism of the foulest design and intent.
Such is the nature of the tyranny we fought over 200 years ago— not to be replaced with an anglo-euro NWO run by your or the clintoonian families of elites.

Jeb is not a conservative. He’s not much of a patriot, either.

Looky just WHO else the BUSHIES(via Barby) have in their background:
Barbara Pierce was born at Booth Memorial Hospital in the borough of Queens, in New York City, and raised in the suburban town of Rye, New York.[1] She was the third child of Pauline (née Robinson; 1896–1949) and her husband Marvin Pierce (1893–1969), who later became president of McCall Corporation, the publisher of the popular women’s magazines Redbook and McCall’s. Her siblings include Martha Pierce Rafferty (1920–1999); James Pierce (1921–1993), and Scott Pierce (born 1930). Her ancestor Thomas Pierce, an early New England colonist, was also an ancestor of Franklin Pierce, the 14th president of the United States. She is the fourth cousin, four times removed, and the second cousin, five times removed, of President Franklin Pierce.[2]
