1. Keith Alexander doesn't know what to do about the press

I will do such things-
What they are yet, I know not; but they shall be
The terrors of the earth!

2. Alexander appears to be a member of the military.

He is supposed to defend the Constitution. Sounds like he is doing anything but that. He should lose his rank and his commission along with everything else associated with his service. Talk about a traitor. There you have it.

He does not seem to have read the First Amendment. It was included in the Bill of Rights with the intention of limiting the power of the government and of the military.

Truth be told, the Founding Fathers did not want or foresee a standing military force. So Alexander is in the wrong here. If the Supreme Court agrees with him on this, just forget the Constitution.

The protection of the Freedom of the Press is the VERY FIRST ITEM listed in the Bill of Rights. Alexander appears to want to violate at it.

Wow! Is he planning some sort of military coup? Who are the enemies of the US here? I hope he will retract his statements.

4. Right there on that with you JD...

This is foreshadows some AWFULNESS, if not neutralized soon...

3. Sorry old chap......

...we're not going back.

5. Gen. Alexander, NSA Head, sees truthful journalism as the enemy that must be stopped, hmmmm...

Question: Is this alright in the USA of 2013? Has the First Amendment been cancelled lately by the Supremes? This is most frightening and evidence of our collapsing Republic that some even called a democracy...Share this video and start a conversation about our Nation, as the time is short.
