aNewDomain — In George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four elite officials of the government were allowed to turn off the telescreen that monitored their every move. They were the only ones.
We now know that the National Security Agency (NSA) spies on every American today. But, just like Nineteen Eighty-Four, it turns out that some Americans are more equal than others.
Hillary Clinton has revealed that she chose to delete her personal emails, and decided for all of us which emails, written during her tenure as Secretary of State under Obama, would be turned over to the National Archives. Without a hint of irony, she defended her right to privacy. This is even though she voted for NSA spying and has repeatedly called Edward Snowden a traitor.
For aNewDomain, I’m Ted Rall.
