Waiting For The Millipede To Drop Its Next Shoe

We knew for years that the NSA was spying on and mining data on US citizens. That story was deemed not quite fit to print until the UK "Guardian" elaborated on what we already knew. We knew for about two years that the IRS was used as a political weapon until Lois Lerner planted a question at a Bar Association conference. Until then, the media did not find the story newsworthy.

What will be the next spiked story to go viral? My money is on voter fraud. Like the IRS scandal, evidence of abuse is all over the blogosphere. This is a little bit different however because small town newspapers have reported on local stories of electoral cheating. A wider, broader dare we say it--conspiracy--has not yet been advanced by the mainstreamers.

Let's hope that Canada Free Press or Russia Times or The Guardian or The Telegraph or some other foreign news agency follows up on the leads.

Tim Stanley and 'The Telegraph'

I heard Tim Stanley on talk radio last night (must have been the Jerry Doyle show given the time of evening but Doyle's website is not worth navigating so I cannot verify that.) Tim Stanley seemed like a level-headed guy and like other Brit journalists, he is not afraid to report on Obama. Stanley was commenting on the Snowden/NSA situation and he seemed worth looking into.

So then today Limbaugh described Stanley as a far leftist or some such and claimed that he was trying to discredit Snowden in part because of 'The Telegraph's' rivalry with 'The Guardian.' I think Rush might be wrong with his assessment.

Stanley did write an article about Snowden's story unraveling. Possibly, but the gist of Snowden's revelations is still valid.

Please do not dismiss Tim Stanley as a wacky leftist because Limbaugh has mischaracterized him. Tim Stanley is well worth reading. Below is a link that is worth sharing.
