Europe's Secret Success2014-05-26, New York TimesPosted: 2014-06-02 11:04:04http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/26/opinion/krugman-europes-secret-success.html
European economies, France in particular, get very bad press in America. Our political discourse is dominated by reverse Robin-Hoodism — the belief that economic success depends on being nice to the rich, who won't create jobs if they are heavily taxed, and nasty to ordinary workers, who won't accept jobs unless they have no alternative. And according to this ideology, Europe — with its high taxes and generous welfare states — does everything wrong. So Europe's economic system must be collapsing, and a lot of reporting simply states the postulated collapse as a fact. The reality, however, is very different. Yes, Southern Europe is experiencing an economic crisis thanks to [a money muddle caused by Europe's premature adoption of a single currency]. But Northern European nations, France included, have done far better [than America]. French adults in their prime working years (25 to 54) are substantially more likely to have jobs than their U.S. counterparts. France's prime-age employment rate overtook America's early in the Bush administration. Other European nations with big welfare states, like Sweden and the Netherlands, do even better. On the core issue of providing jobs for people who really should be working, at this point old Europe is beating us hands down despite social benefits and regulations that, according to free-market ideologues, should be hugely job-destroying.

Despite Obama's new rules, no end in sight for drone war2014-05-23, MSN/ReutersPosted: 2014-06-02 11:02:39http://news.msn.com/in-depth/despite-obamas-new-rules-no-end-in-sight-for-dro...
A year after Obama laid out new conditions for drone attacks around the world, U.S. forces are failing to comply fully with the rules he set for them: to strike only when there is an imminent threat to Americans and when there is virtually no danger of taking innocent lives. Although Obama promised greater transparency in his speech at the National Defense University, U.S. lawmakers are increasingly critical of the secrecy surrounding the operations. There are growing concerns in Washington that the net effect of the targeted-killing program may be counterproductive. [Obama] is showing no sign of relinquishing what has become his counterterrorism weapon of choice since he took office in 2009. Drones are spreading to new areas ... in far-flung places like Somalia and in Nigeria. "Here we are, a year later, asking 'what has really changed?'" said University of Notre Dame law professor Mary Ellen O'Connell, a leading expert on extrajudicial killings who has testified before U.S. congressional committees. "The drones are still flying and the president still sees the attractiveness of this cold and antiseptic means of killing." Obama's vision of shifting control of the drone program from the shadowy paramilitary arm of the Central Intelligence Agency to the more publicly accountable Pentagon is moving at what one national security source described as a "glacial pace." The Pentagon's Joint Special Operations Command is widely believed to have been behind the December 12 drone strike in a remote part of Yemen that hit a convoy later identified as a wedding procession, killing 15 people.

Edward Snowden responds to release of e-mail by U.S. officials2014-05-29, Washington PostPosted: 2014-06-02 11:01:15http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/edward-snowden-responds...
Former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden responded to questions from The Washington Post following the release of an e-mail he had sent while working for the National Security Agency. Q: How do you respond to today's NSA statement and the release of your email with the Office of General Counsel? A: The NSA's new discovery of written contact between me and its lawyers - after more than a year of denying any such contact existed - raises serious concerns. It reveals as false the NSA's claim ... that "after extensive investigation, including interviews with his former NSA supervisors and co-workers, we have not found any evidence to support Mr. Snowden's contention that he brought these matters to anyone's attention." Today's release is incomplete, and does not include my correspondence with the Signals Intelligence Directorate's Office of Compliance. [But] whether my disclosures were justified does not depend on whether I raised these concerns previously. That's because the system is designed to ensure that even the most valid concerns are suppressed and ignored, not acted upon. The fact that two powerful Democratic Senators - Ron Wyden and Mark Udall - knew of mass surveillance that they believed was abusive and felt constrained [not] to do anything about it underscores how futile such internal action is -- and will remain -- until these processes are reformed. Still, the fact is that I did raise such concerns both verbally and in writing, and on multiple, continuing occasions - as I have always said.

NBC Censors Snowden's Critical 9/11 Comments From Prime Time Audience2014-05-30, Global ResearchPosted: 2014-06-02 10:58:03http://www.globalresearch.ca/nbc-censors-snowdens-critical-911-comments-from-...
Statements made by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden regarding the 9/11 terror attacks were edited out of his NBC Nightly News interview with Brian Williams ... in what appears to be an attempt to bolster legitimacy for the agency's controversial surveillance programs. Snowden's comments surrounding the failure of dragnet surveillance in stopping the 9/11 attacks were censored from the prime time broadcast and instead buried in an hour long clip on NBC's website. "The CIA knew who these guys were. The problem was not that we weren't collecting information, it wasn't that we didn't have enough dots, it wasn't that we didn't have a haystack, it was that we did not understand the haystack that we had." NBC's decision to bury Snowden's comments are unsurprising given the fact that the 9/11 attacks are exhaustively used by the federal government as the prime justification for surveilling millions of innocent Americans. Snowden remarked on the government's prior knowledge of the accused Boston bombers as well, also cut from the prime time interview. 'We're missing things like the Boston Marathon bombings where all of these mass-surveillance systems, every domestic dragnet in the world, didn't reveal guys that the Russian intelligence service told us about by name," Snowden said. Despite ... government officials pointing to 9/11 foreknowledge, whether missed or ignored, establishment media outlets have continually worked to keep such voices out of relevant reporting.

Daniel Ellsberg: Snowden would not get a fair trial – and Kerry is wrong2014-05-30, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2014-06-02 10:55:46http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/may/30/daniel-ellsberg-snowden-...
On the Today show and CBS, [Sec. of State John Kerry] said [Edward] Snowden "should man up and come back to the United States" to face charges. But John Kerry is wrong. As Snowden told Brian Williams on NBC later that night, ... he would have no chance whatsoever to come home and make his case – in public or in court. Snowden would come back home to a jail cell – and not just an ordinary cell-block but isolation in solitary confinement, ... probably [for] the rest of his life. The current state of whistleblowing prosecutions under the Espionage Act makes a truly fair trial wholly unavailable to an American who has exposed classified wrongdoing. The other NSA whistleblower prosecuted, Thomas Drake, was barred from uttering the words "whistleblowing" and "overclassification" in his trial. In the recent case of the State Department contractor Stephen Kim, the presiding judge ruled the prosecution "need not show that the information he allegedly leaked could damage US national security or benefit a foreign power, even potentially." Without reform to the Espionage Act that lets a court hear a public interest defense – or a challenge to the appropriateness of government secrecy in each particular case – Snowden and future Snowdens can and will only be able to "make their case" from outside the United States. Snowden acted in full knowledge of the constitutionally questionable efforts of the Obama administration, in particular, to use the Espionage Act in a way it was never intended by Congress: as the equivalent of a British-type Official Secrets Act criminalizing any and all unauthorized release of classified information.

End Mass Incarceration Now2014-05-25, New York TimesPosted: 2014-06-02 10:54:03http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/25/opinion/sunday/end-mass-incarceration-now.html
For more than a decade, researchers across multiple disciplines have been issuing reports on the widespread societal and economic damage caused by America's now-40-year experiment in locking up vast numbers of its citizens. Several recent reports provide some of the most comprehensive and compelling proof yet that the United States "has gone past the point where the numbers of people in prison can be justified by social benefits," and that mass incarceration itself is "a source of injustice." That is the central conclusion of a two-year, 444-page study prepared by the research arm of the National Academy of Sciences. The report highlights many well-known statistics: Since the early 1970s, the nation's prison population has quadrupled to 2.2 million, making it the world's biggest. That is five to 10 times the incarceration rate in other democracies. A report by Human Rights Watch notes that ... "in its embrace of incarceration, the [US] seems to have forgotten just how severe a punishment it is." The severity is evident in the devastation wrought on America's poorest and least educated, destroying neighborhoods and families. From 1980 to 2000, the number of children with fathers in prison rose from 350,000 to 2.1 million. Since race and poverty overlap so significantly, the weight of our criminal justice experiment continues to fall overwhelmingly on communities of color, and particularly on young black men. After prison, people are sent back to the impoverished places they came from, but are blocked from re-entering society.

Florida Couple Fined, Threatened with Jail for Feeding Homeless2014-05-12, NBC NewsPosted: 2014-06-02 10:52:32http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/florida-couple-fined-threatened-jail-feed...
A Florida couple who retired from their management jobs to care for the poor vowed ... to wage a tenacious legal fight days after being fined more than $300 each for violating a local law. Debbie and Chico Jimenez openly admit committing the act that earned them two citations apiece: feeding more than 100 people who are homeless in Daytona Beach. Police in Daytona Beach also threatened them with arrest and incarceration, if they offer any more of their home-cooked meals at Manatee Island Park, a gathering the Jimenezes say they've hosted every Wednesday for the past year. Debbie Jimenez, 52, a retired auto parts store manager ... and her husband, 60, a retired construction manager, operate [the] New Smyrna Beach-based ministry called Spreading the Word Without Saying a Word. "We were given 10 days to either pay the fine or tell them we're going to court. We're going to court. The police don't like it. But how can we turn our backs on the hungry? We can't," [Debbie Jimenez said]. In all, police officers ticketed six people, including four volunteers who helped the Jimenezes on Wednesday – one of them, a man in a wheelchair who recently escaped homelessness and participated "to pay it forward," Debbie Jimenez said. The fines levied by authorities total $2,238. Daytona Beach is not alone among cities that formally and legally restrict non-governmental individuals who seek to share food with homeless people in public or private spaces, according to a report co-released by the National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty.

Jurors Need to Know That They Can Say No2011-12-21, New York TimesPosted: 2014-06-02 10:49:12http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/21/opinion/jurors-can-say-no.html
If you are ever on a jury in a marijuana case, [you should] vote "not guilty" — even if you think the defendant actually smoked pot, or sold it to another consenting adult. As a juror, you have this power under the Bill of Rights; if you exercise it, you become part of a proud tradition of American jurors who helped make our laws fairer. [This] information ... about a constitutional doctrine called "jury nullification" is absolutely true. But if federal prosecutors in New York get their way, telling the truth to potential jurors could result in a six-month prison sentence. Earlier this year, prosecutors charged Julian P. Heicklen, a retired chemistry professor, with jury tampering because he stood outside the federal courthouse in Manhattan providing information about jury nullification to passers-by. The prosecutors in this case are wrong. The First Amendment exists to protect speech like this — honest information that the government prefers citizens not know. Laws against jury tampering are intended to deter people from threatening or intimidating jurors. To contort these laws to justify punishing Mr. Heicklen, [is] unconstitutional. Jury nullification is not new; its proponents have included John Hancock and John Adams. The doctrine is premised on the idea that ordinary citizens, not government officials, should have the final say as to whether a person should be punished. As Adams put it, it is each juror's "duty" to vote based on his or her "own best understanding, judgment and conscience, though in direct opposition to the direction of the court."

Former NSA executive Thomas A. Drake may pay high price for media leak2010-07-13, Washington PostPosted: 2014-06-02 10:47:29http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/13/AR20100713059...
For seven years, Thomas A. Drake was a senior executive at the nation's largest intelligence organization with an ambition to change its insular culture. He had access to classified programs that purported to help the National Security Agency tackle its toughest challenges. Today, he wears a blue T-shirt and answers questions about iPhones at an Apple store in the Washington area. He is awaiting trial in a criminal media leak case that could send him to prison for 35 years. In his years at the NSA, Drake grew disillusioned, then indignant, about what he saw as waste, mismanagement and a willingness to compromise Americans' privacy without enhancing security. He first tried the sanctioned methods -- going to his superiors, inspectors general, Congress. Finally, in frustration, he turned to the "nuclear option": leaking to the media. Drake, 53, may pay a high price for going nuclear. In April he was indicted, accused of mishandling classified information and obstructing justice. His supporters consider him a patriotic whistleblower targeted by an Obama administration bent on sealing leaks and on having something to show for an investigation that spans two presidencies. What led Drake to this point, friends and others say, is a belief that his actions were justified if they forced such a powerful and secretive agency to be held accountable. "He tried to have his concerns heard and nobody really wanted to listen," said Nina Ginsberg, an attorney.
Note: On June 9, 2011, all ten original charges against Thomas A Drake were dropped and he was not incarcerated, yet it is cases like this that keep people like Edward Snowden from making his case in US courts.
Why both sides of the political aisle are turning against Wall Street2014-05-07, Christian Science MonitorPosted: 2014-05-26 10:34:54http://www.csmonitor.com/Business/Robert-Reich/2014/0507/Why-both-sides-of-th...
More Americans than ever believe the economy is rigged in favor of Wall Street and big business and their enablers in Washington. We're five years into a so-called recovery that's been a bonanza for the rich but a bust for the middle class. "The game is rigged and the American people know that. They get it right down to their toes," says Senator Elizabeth Warren. Which is fueling a new populism on both the left and the right. While still far apart, neo-populists on both sides are bending toward one another and against the establishment. And it's not only the rhetoric that's converging. Populists on the right and left are also coming together around six principles: 1. Cut the biggest Wall Street banks down to a size where they're no longer too big to fail. 2. Resurrect the Glass-Steagall Act, separating investment from commercial banking and thereby preventing companies from gambling with their depositors' money. 3. End corporate welfare – including subsidies to big oil, big agribusiness, big pharma, Wall Street, and the Ex-Im Bank. 5. Scale back American interventions overseas. 6. Oppose trade agreements crafted by big corporations. Two decades ago Democrats and Republicans enacted the North American Free Trade Agreement. Since then populists in both parties have mounted increasing opposition to such agreements. Left and right-wing populists remain deeply divided over the role of government. Even so, the major fault line in American politics seems to be shifting, from Democrat versus Republican, to populist versus establishment — those who think the game is rigged versus those who do the rigging.

Left-right alliance can get divisive issues on the table2014-05-17, San Francisco Chronicle (SF's leading newspaper)Posted: 2014-05-26 10:33:34http://www.sfgate.com/opinion/article/Left-right-alliance-can-get-divisive-is...
Tired of Washington gridlock? Want to see ways to get things done for the American people? Unstoppable: The Emerging Left-Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State [presents the] thesis of an unstoppable left-right alliance, [which] can apply operationally in 24 areas of needed change ... including strengthening civil liberties and reform prison policy. Progressives and libertarians - already in verbal agreement over the outrageous violations of privacy and other civil liberties by the national security state - can band together in a powerful alliance to correct the invasive parts of the so-called Patriot Act when it comes up for congressional review in 2015. Under this act and its abuses, librarians have to turn over information about what books you have borrowed. Librarians who merely tell their patrons about receiving these national security letters can be criminally prosecuted. Your home can be searched without you being told until 72 hours transpire. Your medical and financial records can be accessed without real probable cause. Earlier this month, more major technology companies declared their noncompliance with government's confidential demands for e-mail records and other online information. Twitter and Yahoo went earlier on this defiance, followed by Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Google, who say they routinely will notify users about government data seizures, unless enjoined by the courts. If this left-right alliance approaches Congress with a visible, cogent set of demands, the legislators will be more likely to deliberate in public hearings and not rubber-stamp renewal next year of the 12-year-old Patriot Act.

CIA: No more vaccination campaigns in spy operations2014-05-19, Washington PostPosted: 2014-05-26 10:30:46http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/cia-no-more-vaccination...
Three years after the CIA used an immunization survey as a cover in its hunt for Osama bin Laden, the White House has promised that the agency will never again use a vaccination campaign in its operations. Responding to a letter from the deans of 12 U.S. public health schools, Lisa Monaco, the assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, informed them last week that the CIA will no longer conduct such campaigns, White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said. The deans wrote to President Obama in January 2013 to protest the precedent set when the CIA used Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani surgeon, to seek information ... under the guise of conducting a hepatitis immunization survey. "This disguising of an intelligence-gathering effort as a humanitarian public health service has resulted in serious collateral consequences that affect the public health community," the deans wrote. International aid organizations were forced to move some of their staff members out of Pakistan, and some health workers were killed in a backlash against a polio vaccination effort. Attacks have continued sporadically. Last year, 83 new polio cases were reported in Pakistan, more than in Afghanistan or Nigeria, the other countries where it is endemic.

Everyone should know just how much the government lied to defend the NSA2014-05-17, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2014-05-26 10:24:23http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/may/17/government-lies-nsa-just...
Just before Edward Snowden became a household name, the ACLU argued before the supreme court that the FISA Amendments Act – one of the two main laws used by the NSA to conduct mass surveillance – was unconstitutional. In a sharply divided opinion, the Supreme Court ruled, 5-4, that the case should be dismissed because the plaintiffs didn't have "standing". The court relied on two claims by the Justice Department to support their ruling: 1) that the NSA would only get the content of Americans' communications without a warrant when they are targeting a foreigner abroad for surveillance, and 2) that the Justice Department would notify criminal defendants who have been spied on under the Fisa Amendments Act, so there exists some way to challenge the law in court. It turns out that neither of those statements were true. One of the most explosive Snowden revelations exposed a then-secret technique known as "about" surveillance. As the New York Times first reported, the NSA "is searching the contents of vast amounts of Americans' e-mail and text communications into and out of the country, hunting for people who mention information about foreigners under surveillance." In other words, the NSA doesn't just target a contact overseas – it sweeps up everyone's international communications into a dragnet and searches them for keywords. The Snowden leaks also pushed the Justice Department to admit ... that the government hadn't been notifying any defendants they were being charged based on NSA surveillance.
Data Pirates of the Caribbean: The NSA Is Recording Every Cell Phone Call in the Bahamas2014-05-19, The InterceptPosted: 2014-05-26 10:22:44https://firstlook.org/theintercept/article/2014/05/19/data-pirates-caribbean-...
The National Security Agency is secretly intercepting, recording, and archiving the audio of virtually every cell phone conversation on the island nation of the Bahamas. According to documents provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, the surveillance is part of a top-secret system – code-named SOMALGET – that was implemented without the knowledge or consent of the Bahamian government. SOMALGET is part of a broader NSA program called MYSTIC, which ... is being used to secretly monitor the telecommunications systems of the Bahamas and several other countries, including Mexico, the Philippines, and Kenya. But while MYSTIC scrapes mobile networks for so-called "metadata" – information that reveals the time, source, and destination of calls – SOMALGET is a cutting-edge tool that enables the NSA to vacuum up and store the actual content of every conversation in an entire country. The program raises profound questions about the nature and extent of American surveillance abroad. The U.S. intelligence community routinely justifies its massive spying efforts by citing the threats to national security posed by global terrorism and unpredictable rival nations like Russia and Iran. But the NSA documents indicate that SOMALGET has been deployed in the Bahamas to locate "international narcotics traffickers and special-interest alien smugglers" – traditional law-enforcement concerns, but a far cry from derailing terror plots or intercepting weapons of mass destruction.
Fine Line Seen in U.S. Spying on Companies2014-05-21, New York TimesPosted: 2014-05-26 10:21:19http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/21/business/us-snooping-on-companies-cited-by-...
The National Security Agency has never said what it was seeking when it invaded the computers of Petrobras, Brazil's huge national oil company, but angry Brazilians have guesses: the company's troves of data on Brazil's offshore oil reserves, or perhaps its plans for allocating licenses for exploration to foreign companies. Nor has the N.S.A. said what it intended when it got deep into the computer systems of China Telecom, one of the largest providers of mobile phone and Internet services in Chinese cities. But documents released by Edward J. Snowden, the former agency contractor now in exile in Russia, leave little doubt that the main goal was to learn about Chinese military units, whose members cannot resist texting on commercial networks. The agency's interest in Huawei, the giant Chinese maker of Internet switching equipment, and Pacnet, the Hong Kong-based operator of undersea fiber optic cables, is more obvious: Once inside those companies' proprietary technology, the N.S.A. would have access to millions of daily conversations and emails that never touch American shores. The [US] government does not deny it routinely spies to advance American economic advantage, which is part of its broad definition of how it protects American national security. While the N.S.A. cannot spy on Airbus and give the results to Boeing, it is free to spy on European or Asian trade negotiators and use the results to help American trade officials — and, by extension, ... American industries.
After Years in Solitary, an Austere Life as Uruguay's President2013-01-05, New York TimesPosted: 2014-05-26 10:10:19http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/05/world/americas/after-years-in-solitary-an-a...
Some world leaders live in palaces. Some enjoy perks like having a discreet butler, a fleet of yachts or a wine cellar with vintage Champagnes. Then there is José Mujica, the former guerrilla who is Uruguay's president. He lives in a run-down house on Montevideo's outskirts with no servants at all. His security detail: two plainclothes officers parked on a dirt road. In a deliberate statement to this cattle-exporting nation of 3.3 million people, Mr. Mujica, 77, shunned the opulent Suárez y Reyes presidential mansion, with its staff of 42, remaining instead in the home where he and his wife have lived for years, on a plot of land where they grow chrysanthemums for sale in local markets. His net worth upon taking office in 2010 amounted to about $1,800 — the value of the 1987 Volkswagen Beetle parked in his garage. He never wears a tie and donates about 90 percent of his salary, largely to a program for expanding housing for the poor. His current brand of low-key radicalism ... exemplifies Uruguay's emergence as arguably Latin America's most socially liberal country. Under Mr. Mujica, who took office in 2010, Uruguay has drawn attention for seeking to legalize marijuana and same-sex marriage, while also enacting one of the region's most sweeping abortion rights laws and sharply boosting the use of renewable energy sources like wind and biomass. For democracy to function properly, [Mujica] argues, elected leaders should be taken down a notch. "We have done everything possible to make the presidency less venerated," Mr. Mujica said in an interview one recent morning, after preparing a serving in his kitchen of mate.

London's silver price fix dies after nearly 120 years2014-05-14, Financial TimesPosted: 2014-05-19 07:42:10http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/db3188b8-db46-11e3-94ad-00144feabdc0.html
It was born in the late 19th century when a handful of London bullion dealers agreed to meet daily under a cloud of cigar smoke to set the price for the "devil's metal". But now, after 117 years of operation, the London silver fix – an integral part of the city's $1.6tn-a-year silver market – is on its deathbed. The three banks that arrange silver's global benchmark said on [May 14] that prices would be "fixed" for the final time at noon on August 14. The move comes on the heels of increased scrutiny by European and US regulators into precious metals price-setting following the Libor scandal and probe into possible forex market abuse. Deutsche Bank last month resigned its seats on the silver and gold fixes, after failing to find buyers, leaving just HSBC and Bank of Nova Scotia on the silver fix. The three banks said there would be discussions "to explore whether the market wishes to develop an alternative" to the benchmark. The regulatory attention has removed the lustre from the once-prestigious precious metals fixes, while legal action in the US has been an additional deterrent for potential new members. US lawyers have filed at least 20 class lawsuits alleging manipulation by the banks responsible for the gold fix. The demise of the silver fix will raise questions about the future of the other precious metals benchmarks – platinum, palladium and, especially, gold. Following Deutsche Bank's withdrawal, the gold fix can continue to operate effectively with four member banks, but critics say the process is old-fashioned and opaque, and needs to be overhauled.

When NSA contractor Edward Snowden downloaded tens of thousands of top-secret documents from a highly secure government network, it led to the largest leak of classified information in history — and sparked a fierce debate over privacy, technology and democracy in the post-9/11 world. Now, in "United States Of Secrets," FRONTLINE goes behind the headlines to reveal the dramatic inside story of how the U.S. government came to monitor and collect the communications of millions of people around the world—including ordinary Americans—and the lengths they went to trying to hide the massive surveillance program from the public. "This is as close to the complete picture as anyone has yet put together — and it's bigger and more pervasive than we thought," says veteran FRONTLINE filmmaker Michael Kirk. In part one ... Kirk [pieces] together the secret history of the unprecedented surveillance program that began in the wake of September 11 and continues today – even after the revelations of its existence by Edward Snowden. Then, in part two, premiering Tuesday, May 20 ..., veteran FRONTLINE filmmaker Martin Smith continues the story, exploring the secret relationship between Silicon Valley and the National Security Agency, and investigating how the government and tech companies have worked together to gather and warehouse your data. "Through in-depth interviews with more than 60 whistleblowers, elected officials, journalists, intelligence insiders and cabinet officials, we have woven together the secret narrative that reveals the scale and scope of the government's spying program," says Kirk.

Glenn Greenwald: the explosive day we revealed Edward Snowden's identity to the world2014-05-11, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2014-05-19 07:35:35http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/11/glenn-greenwald-nsa-whistleblowe...
On Sunday 9 June 2013, the Guardian published the story that revealed [Edward] Snowden to the world. The article told Snowden's story, conveyed his motives, and proclaimed that "Snowden will go down in history as one of America's most consequential whistleblowers, alongside Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley [now Chelsea] Manning." We quoted [a note from Snowden that said:] "I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions … but I will be satisfied if the federation of secret law, unequal pardon and irresistible executive powers that rule the world that I love are revealed even for an instant." The reaction to the article and the video was more intense than anything I had experienced as a writer. Ellsberg himself, writing the following day in the Guardian, proclaimed that "there has not been in American history a more important leak than Edward Snowden's release of NSA material – and that definitely includes the Pentagon Papers 40 years ago". Several hundred thousand people posted the link to their Facebook accounts in the first several days alone. Almost three million people watched the interview on YouTube. Many more saw it on the Guardian's website. The overwhelming response was shock and inspiration at Snowden's courage.
Note: Don't miss the full, exciting story of how Snowden originally came to leak his stunning information at the link above. This excerpt is from the new book No Place to Hide by Glenn Greenwald. For more on government surveillance, see the deeply revealing reports from reliable major media sources available here.
Glenn Greenwald: from Martin Luther King to Anonymous, the state targets dissenters not just "bad guys"2014-05-13, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2014-05-19 07:33:34http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/13/glenn-greenwald-anonymous-mass-s...
The opportunity those in power have to characterise political opponents as "national security threats" or even "terrorists" has repeatedly proven irresistible. In the past decade, the government ... has formally so designated environmental activists, broad swaths of anti-government rightwing groups, anti-war activists, and associations organised around Palestinian rights. One document from the Snowden files, dated 3 October 2012, chillingly underscores the point. It revealed that the agency has been monitoring the online activities of individuals it believes express "radical" ideas and who have a "radicalising" influence on others. Among the information collected about the individuals, at least one of whom is a "US person", are details of their online sex activities and "online promiscuity." The agency discusses ways to exploit this information to destroy their reputations and credibility. The record is suffused with examples of groups and individuals being placed under government surveillance by virtue of their dissenting views and activism – Martin Luther King, the civil rights movement, anti-war activists, environmentalists. The NSA's treatment of Anonymous ... is especially troubling and extreme. Gabriella Coleman, a specialist on Anonymous at McGill University, said that [Anonymous] "is not a defined" entity but rather "an idea that mobilises activists to take collective action and voice political discontent. It is a broad-based global social movement with no centralised or official organised leadership structure. Some have rallied around the name to engage in digital civil disobedience, but nothing remotely resembling terrorism."
Note: This excerpt is from the new book No Place to Hide by Glenn Greenwald. For more on government surveillance, see the deeply revealing reports from reliable major media sources available here.

A Clockwork Orange author Anthony Burgess will be honoured in Manchester later today when a blue plaque is unveiled at the university where he studied.
It is the first British public monument to Burgess, who graduated from the University of Manchester in 1940 and was awarded an honorary doctorate by the institution in 1987.
The author, who wrote 33 novels, 25 works of non-fiction, two volumes of autobiography, three symphonies and more than 250 other musical works, grew up in Harpurhey and Moss Side, before winning a scholarship to Xaverian College.
Today's ceremony, at Manchester's new School of Arts, Languages and Cultures building, will feature the world premier of a trumpet fanfare he wrote as a birthday present for his son, Andrew Burgess Wilson.
Dr Andrew Biswell, director of the International Anthony Burgess Foundation, said: 'I'm delighted that the university has decided to install the first British public monument to Burgess, 50 years after A Clockwork Orange was first published.'
Burgess, who died in 1993, studied English Literature at the University of Manchester from 1937 to 1940.
First published in 1962, A Clockwork Orange is his most famous work; a dark, dystopian vision of the future focusing on juvenile 'ultraviolence'.
The novel, which celebrates its 50th birthday this year, was adapted into a film by Stanley Kubrick in 1972.
George Hamilton-Jones, from our Charing Cross Road shop, celebrates the return of William Gibson with The Peripheral, which should delight fans of his early futuristic works, such as Neuromancer.
Rob Ryan reveals how he put together his stunning paper-cut and screen-printed illustrations to create his latest book, The Kingdom Revealed.
Andrew Wilson, author of Ukraine Crisis: What It Means for the West, highlights the issues that matter about the Kiev Uprising and Russia's response.

Originally written on FF Locker Room | Last updated 11/9/14
NFL News: Tuesday the Baltimore Ravens came to terms with free agent quarterback Caleb Hanie, formerly of the Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears, to backup franchise quarterback Joe Flacco. The former Coloroado State ilumni has a total of 116 pass attempts in his five-year career. Terms were not disclosed. Fantasy Ramifications: With Hanie backing up Flacco, his only fantasy value would come if the franchise quarterback suffered an injury and couldn't play. Considering that Flacco has never missed a start in his career, the odds of Hanie getting into a game beyond a blow out is pretty non-existent. He should go undrafted in all fantasy formats this fall. The post Baltimore Ravens Sign Quarterback Caleb Hanie appeared first on Fantasy Sports Player Rankings - Baseball and Football - FFLockerRoom.com.

I don't know of a single foreign product that enters this country untaxed, except the answer to prayer.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
Contributed by: Zaady
Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.
Quitting smoking is easy, I've done it hundreds of times.
The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession but carrying a banner.
In studying the traits and dispositions of the so-called lower animals, and contrasting them with man's, I find the result humiliating to me.
It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.
Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand.
The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.
I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want.
I am prepared to meet anyone, but whether anyone is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.

I do underfstand how the training, and legal knowledge go for the PD. The majority of offices here carry 2 books in the trunk. The SC case law book, and the SC DOT regulations book. There's a great deal to remember, even to try and look up a code is rediculous.
I have had some just wrong stuff done to me just because i carry.
I was pulled by DNR officers to inspect the deer on my cargo rack, as I was headed to the processor. The deer was legal, and I was actually in a great mood untill the officers gave me a hard time.
They asked to see my weapon to check the #'s, I complied. The officer unloaded it, popped the mag out, and emptied it into his pocket. My weapon was not stolen, and checked out, so I was given all my info back, and told to have a good nite. "officer, my weapon!" he walks back up to my hood, and pulls the slide off my glock, removed the barell & spring. He placed the handle, slide, and empty mag on the hood. Then throws the pocket full of ammo out in the road, and barell & spring off on the shoulder. Told me I better watch where I hunt from now on! Then he hopps in his truck and drives off!
It took all the constraint in my blood not to react how I wanted to!
I do wish that officers would be held accountable for their actions, but that's not a strong point here. It's getting better, but that takes time. It's not easy with a sheriff like our's.Missing girl's mother questions conversation with Sheriff Metts - WIS News 10 - Columbia, South Carolina |
More here.The Jessie Gutierrez Story
He's just a bully, as is the court system in this county.
I can't find it right now, but the sherrif recently made a statement in reguards to this and a few other issues with him, and the department.
"I'm J.R. Metts! I don't care what any one thinks, especially the county councill. I'm an elected official, and do not answer to the councill, so their opinion makes no difference to me. Ican only be removed from office by SLED (south carolina law enforcement devision) and untill they do, everyone can kiss my @$$"

You have got to love the south. I do not see much of this kind of stuff in the WA area. I suspect we are held to a higher standard when being looked at for the job. I had to do a polly, physiological, written and oral board, physical and health test. Than I had to sit down with the Sheriff and answer his Q's before he gave me a job. Then I had to do 5.5 months in an academy and 1 year of probation. That's a hole lot of stuff just to have a job that most people do not like you for. But all in all I would not do anything other then this. It is very cool when a kid looks a you with big eyes. When you get to do good things for people then they thank you for it.
Like I said there are good cop and not such good cops and then there are down right $hity cops. Stay safe and keep supporting the good ones.
What, and go into a courtroom with the sherrif of knottingham?
Just a tidbit of what the county court is like....
The judges are all good ole drinkin card playin buddies with the sherrif, and its all up to him, and the devil! 1 local criminal lawyer once told me that the fate of 90% of men are settled in a local resturant between the sherrif, judge, and prosecutor.
It's a sad state of affairs to be so bleak.

The attorney for the Minnesota St., Mankato, football coach who faces child pornography charges says county officials found no evidence that his client abused his kids.
Todd Hoffner's attorney released letters Monday that Blue Earth County social worker Holly Barkeim sent to Hoffner and his wife in late September.
In those letters, Barkeim says child protection services are not needed.
Hoffner was charged in late August after videos of his three children dancing naked and touching themselves were found on his work-issued cell phone.
Hoffner's wife and his attorney have said the videos are innocent family moments.
Attorney Jim Fleming said he is planning to file a motion to ask the judge to dismiss the charges.
Hoffner is on leave from his coaching job.

PRS Ted McCarty SC 245 Dark Cherry Sunburst 10 Top Willcutt LTD (808)
We loved the new Ted McCarty Limited 245's as much as any new model PRS has released in a long time. However, we thought the color palette was a bit limited. So we begged PRS do build us a few in some different finishes and they finally agreed--HERE THEY ARE!!
This one features a rich Dark Cherry Sunburst finish and beautiful flame 10 top. This is one of Paul's all time favorite finishes. We decided offer these guitars with a 59/09 bridge pickup and 57/08 neck pickup--this combo works great in this guitar. Stunning!
