White House Wins Ruling On E-mail Records

An anonymous reader writes "The White House Office of Administration is not required to turn over records about a trove of possibly missing e-mails, a federal judge ruled Monday. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly found the agency does not have 'substantial independent authority,' so it is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act."

    it would all be so laughably pathetic if the outcomes weren't so disastrous. the lights are coming up all over now. conspiracy theorists are being vindicated. some might choose a tin umbrella to go with their hats. the fairytail is winding down now. let your conscience be yOUR guide. you can be more helpful than you might have imagined. there are still some choices. if they do not suit you, consider the likely results of continuing to follow the corepirate nazi hypenosys story LIEn, whereas anything of relevance is replaced almost instantly with pr ?firm? scriptdead mindphuking propaganda or 'celebrity' trivia 'foam'. meanwhile; don't forget to get a little more oxygen on yOUR brain, & look up in the sky from time to time, starting early in the day. there's lots going on up there.

    is it time to get real yet? A LOT of energy is being squandered in attempts to keep US in the dark. in the end (give or take a few 1000 years), the creators will prevail (world without end, etc...), as it has always been. the process of gaining yOUR release from the current hostage situation may not be what you might think it is. butt of course, most of US don't know, or care what a precarious/fatal situation we're in. for example; the insidious attempts by the felonious corepirate nazi execrable to block the suns' light, interfering with a requirement (sunlight) for us to stay healthy/alive. it's likely not good for yOUR health/memories 'else they'd be bragging about it? we're intending for the whoreabully deceptive (they'll do ANYTHING for a bit more monIE/power) felons to give up/fail even further, in attempting to control the 'weather', as well as a # of other things/events.

    dictator style micro management has never worked (for very long). it's an illness. tie that with life0cidal aggression & softwar gangster style bullying, & what do we have? a greed/fear/ego based recipe for disaster. meanwhile, you can help to stop the bleeding (loss of life & limb);

    the bleeding must be stopped before any healing can begin. jailing a couple of corepirate nazi hired goons would send a clear message to the rest of the world from US. any truthful look at the 'scorecard' would reveal that we are a society in decline/deep doo-doo, despite all of the scriptdead pr ?firm? generated drum beating & flag waving propaganda that we are constantly bombarded with. is it time to get real yet? please consider carefully ALL of yOUR other 'options'. the creators will prevail. as it has always been.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again.
    The People have lost. Not enough people care about what happens as long as they have American Idol and Survivor, and credit cards.
    Those who do care are less than 1 percent, and are also branded as nutjobs.

    We have already lost, and can change nothing. Voting is a sham; the people we elect will do what they want anyways at the cost of screwing over the little people, and if we don't vote the way they like, they'll just mess with the votes of electronic voting.

    And don't even think about an armed revolution; the army is much more powerful and much more well armed than 50% of the US combined and wouldn't bat an eye at "putting down" such a thing.

    The reason we whine is because we're left with no other choices. It's the result of our loss.

    I know about the case already. The civilized world rejoiced that the US had returned to the rule of law, after the suspension of Habeas Corpus was finally ended (not that Bush will respect the ruling, but at least his violations are unquestionably criminal now). You are whining that the US is ruled by Habeas Corpus and the Constitution. While crowing that the president is above the law, and can just illegally delete official records without laws even having jurisdiction over them.

    Let me make this short, because your reading isn't connected to any kind of processing. You're a nazi. I don't care what else you say, because it's all just nazi talk. Go tell some other nazi, who might care, or pretend to. You nazis always take each other out when you run out of easy victims, anyway.

    Where's all the people who are always screaming "I'm keeping my guns so the government can't take my country from me"? These people who claim that the mass murder by guns of so many Americans is acceptable "collateral damage", the price we pay for defending ourselves from government tyranny?

    They're frauds. The US government has violated the Constitution every day, in every way for 2,706 days. Yet instead of taking to the streets to protect themselves from the tyranny, these gun fetishists are among the strongest protectors of Bush's reign of terror.

    Yes, any decent country would have filled the streets by now, carrying pitchforks and torches, to rip these tyrants from their privileged thrones. But the tyrants have the gun freaks and the army and the cops.

    That's why we have impeachment, but that too has failed us - because we elected an entire generation of greedy traitors, the worst of whom know no partisan boundaries. All we have left is elections and activism. It's not enough to stop the tyranny right now, but it could reverse its direction in November. And if we keep up the pressure it could fix a lot in the years after. America changed pretty quickly from a sustainably damaging world dominator into a catastrophic one hastening its own destruction first. It can at least as quickly change back.

    But only if we keep up the pressure. Unfortunately, just like the gun freaks on the other side, people screaming for revolution aren't really serious or committed, either. How many will vote in November, the least they can do to get change? How many will find decent representatives to campaign for to get into those elections? How many will keep in touch with representatives to force them to acknowledge, and then accept, and then lead on policies that protect our freedoms?

    Revolution is easy - to talk about. Even easier than buying a gun. But we've got to use those tools, not just stockpile them as fetish objects, and yell about them when we get mad. Take your talk to the streets, and knock on doors to register more voters. Register only the ones who agree with you. That will actually make a difference. And you'll see: it will also make you feel better than ranting about revolution on Slashdot. I don't know if it feels as good as unloading a clip into someone, but it will have a lot more effect on politics than talking about guns will, either.
