That suit or suits under this Act may be instituted by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of Indians, or any tribe or band thereof, either separately or jointly, as party or parties plaintiff, against the United States as party defendant, by filing within five years after the approval of this Act a petition or petitions in the Court of Claims and serving with respect to each suit a copy thereof on the Attorney General of the United States, who, either in person or by some attorney from the Department of Justice to be designated by him, shall appear and defend the interests of the United States. Such petition or petitions shall set forth the facts upon which the claim or claims for recovery is or are based and shall be verified by the attorney or attorneys employed by said Indians, under contract approved in accordance with existing law, to prosecute said claims, which may be made upon information and belief, and no other verification shall be necessary. The petition or petitions shall be subject to amendment at any time prior to final submission of the case to the Court of Claims. Such petition or petitions may, in addition to alleging specific claims, demand a general accounting of all funds and property expended or used by the United States for the account of said Indians, in which event the General Accounting Office shall within a reasonable time from date of filing said petition or petitions make a complete audit of said accounts, and, in addition to the usual copies furnished the Attorney General, shall furnish a copy thereof to the attorney or attorneys for said Indians; and the court, after full hearing, shall state the account and render judgment in accordance therewith.
That at the trial of any suit instituted hereunder the court shall settle and determine the rights therein, both legal and equitable, of said Indians against the United States, notwithstanding lapse of time or statutes of limitation. In the determination of the validity of any claim asserted or defense interposed hereunder, the court shall have the full power and authority of a court of equity.
That the court shall have authority, by proper orders and process, to make parties to any suit or suits instituted hereunder any other tribe, band, or group of Indians deemed by it necessary or proper to a final determination of the matters in controversy.
That in any suit instituted hereunder any letter, paper, document, map, or record in the possession of any officer or department of the United States (or certified copies thereof) may be used in evidence, and the departments of the Government of the United States shall give full and free access to the attorney or attorneys for said Indians to such letters, papers, documents, maps, or records as may be useful to said attorney or attorneys in the preparation for trial or trials of such suit or suits.
That no payment or payments which have been made by the United States upon any claim or claims asserted in any suit brought hereunder, or expended for any of the said Indians, shall operate as an estoppel against any suit brought hereunder, but there shall be set off against any recovery obtained by said Indians hereunder any payment made by the United States on any claim asserted by said Indians, together with such gratuity expenditures as are directed to be set off by the Act of Congress, approved August 12, 1935 (49 Stat. 596): Provided, That no moneys expended for the benefit of said Indians under the Wheeler-Howard Act, approved June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 984), shall be applicable as set-offs.

You are here: Home » Robert Farley » Foreign Entanglements: Mali, Don't Ya Know
On the latest Foreign Entanglements Laura Seay and I talk Mali:
Why not Ghana?
This is unbelievably tragic:
I hope something survived. Even more I really hope they cataloged it.
John Protevi would say that comment is quasi-racist.
The torching of Timbuktu manuscript library by islamic supremacists was an act of islamic piety.
Remember, caliph Umar allegedly said, while ordering the library of Alexandria to be burned:
"If the books agree with the Qur'an, they are superfluous. If they disagree with it, they are heretical."
It"s not "Islamic supremists" It's members of a particular ect of Islam, the Wahhabis, who have lots of money due to their connection with the Saudi royal house, but who otehrwise don't get along with most of the followers of Islam in the world . . .
And of course, there have been plenty of Christians who did similar things (Google "iconoclasm") including the Puritans who were instrumental in founding the US.
Wahabism is a revivalism. Cf the difference between salafism and wahabism. The jihadists we see in Mali are Salafists, like al-Qaeda.
As per iconoclasm in Christianity: Iconophily WON the battle. Iconoclasm is an evil heresy.
Salafism is just a more polite word for Wahhabism–they don't like being called after Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab for more or less the same reasons they don't like monuments.
So it's not; ain't the same at all.
Cf. the etymology of the word salafi.
Wahabism is a doctrine held and sponsored now by the House of Saud, inspired by Mister Wahab. Docrine says that there will be a revival of islam at the end of each century to come.
Iconophily won the battle in the Catholic church (including both the Eastern Orthodox and Roman). However, it has never been completely trampled out, and after Zwingli and Calvin, it has had a prominent following in the Reformed and Baptist churches.
Yes, but Dagney/Winchester labors under the belief that his particular beliefs about the Imaginary Sky Wizard are OBJECTIVE TRUTH. Because Foucault.
Besides, that incident largely preceeds wahabism. It has occurred in any nation that islam has triumphed by way of the sword, where sites were destroyed and razed to the ground, whether it is in Mali, Afghanistan, the Maldives, Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh, The Byzantine Empire, etc.
Oh, nonsense.
The quote, and action, attributed to Umar is false. Furthermore the library of Alexandria was long gone by the time the Muslims conquered Egypt. Bernard Lewis, of all people (one of the least sympathetic scholars to Islam) comprehensively refuted it in his "The Arab destruction of the Library of Alexandria: Anatomy of a myth."
Nobody knows exactly what happened to the classical great library.
It is variously claimed by ancient sources have been destroyed accidentally in the 200s by the Romans putting down an Egyptian revolt, accidentally by Julius Caesar in 48 BC, on purpose in 391 by the local Christian authorities, on purpose in 393 by an anti-Arian Christian mob and, lastly, in 642 by a Muslim army on the orders of the Caliph.
If only we could somehow puzzle out why a 21st century moron chose one of the alleged destructions to be upset about in 2013. Let's put a team of monkeys to work around the clock on this one.
Plutarch said Caesar burned it, and he was writing well before Mohammed was even born.
Watching a conservative try to play a race card is like watching a monkey that's gotten ahold a field researcher's cell phone. The little dear is doing its best to imitate her actions and gestures, but it just doesn't work.
John Proveti would not say any such thing. You just can't understand him.
That is the winning hat.
–The French in Mali are now being shot at by islamists with with the very same weapons that France airdropped into Libya. Either those or the weapons that France sold to Gaddafi.
Between Somalia and Nigeria, Salafis jihadis has a huge presence in Africa. But Mali is its biggest footprint yet.
Isn't it more likely that most of the weapons used by former Ghadaffi mercenaries are Soviet-made? As it turns out, LIbya has a history that goes back further than the Bush administration, and for almost all of the Ghadaffi era, it was a Soviet client.
Ghadaffi's weapons have been killing Africans to Libya's south for decades. Ask the people of Sierra Leone or Liberia.
Inshallah, this will be the last chapter of that ugly story.
Al Qeada is alive and well !!
Needs moar Deleuze.
The lack of any reference to Habermas is evidence of the all-pervasiveness of Habermas' thought.
France is getting no support from Washington fighting in Mali now. The drones aren't flying there either and neither is much of anything else. The Obama régime's people have said that they support the French operation but that they're still waiting to get a "clear picture" of the mission, the enemy and how much this will offend the Morsis of the islamic world.
not quite correct, as i understand it from the news. the US is supporting the french air mission, by providing air re-fueling planes. not sure who the pilots are though, american or french.
Holy Mother of God…are you suggesting Winchester doesn't have his/her/its facts straight. I'm going to need to sit down with a big stack o' pancakes and sort through the implications…
that's NOTHING.
Your clever use of CAPSLOCK is indeed convincing, but you need more Foucault, and some reflexive Protevi-hatred.
Your clever use of CAPSLOCK is indeed convincing, but you need more Foucault, and some reflexive Protevi-hatred
The Society of CONTROL essay reveals in code, if you use geometric logic, that Protevi stole Winchester's strawberries.
and also doing strategic airlift and ISR support.
Yes, wouldn't it be terrible if we helped the Socialists prevent the religious fundamentalists from taking over a country?
I'm loving this…suddenly the new line from the neocon he-men is that we should be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the French. The effete, cheese-eating surrender monkeys of old Europe. The decadent defeatists of crumbling socialist Eurabia.
Doublethink the pleasure, doublethink the fun!
Robert Fisk always worth a read.
man, i am getting wayyyyyyy too good at this, i mentioned algeria, in a post elsewhere, a couple of days ago. frankly, i'm surprised it hasn't had more prominent mention in the dailys.
This is like the most intense Farley stare-down ever. One wonders, who was his Thesis Advisor? Roberto Duran?
He learned that stare from the main armament on the U.S.S. Missouri.
who was his Thesis Advisor? Roberto Duran?
It was Duran for a while, but then Roberto announced, "no mas!" and another advisor had to be found.
Guess he wasn't expecting that left hook.
Free market reforms encouraged by Sarkosy that dismantled Mali's educational and heath systems and moneymaking state industries left a big gaping hole that Islam filled. France is reaping what it sowed.

1. Is it true that you don't brine the butterball products?
2. Anyone have any idea about how long it would take to smoke these?
3.can anyone recommend a good turkey dry rub?

Well you're connected to the network right ? So yes..
Posting commands used is always good to allow people to see what you have tried.
Hi guys,
I've been piddling around with arp-poisoning using Ettercap-ng and Arpspoof along with Sslstrip and various Dsniff programs like urlsnarf, webspy, etc. I can succesfully perform a mitm on my open network and on my network with WEP encryption enabled, but I would like to be able to do the same on it with WPA encryption enabled. (Obviously I know the passkey cause its my network.)
I was previously under the impression that it was difficult or impossible to perform an Arp Poisoning on a WPA encrypted network due to the fact that merely knowing the passkey is not sufficient to decrypt the packets because of the WPA handshake. Then I stumbled upon this thread "http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/old-newbie-area/24774-ettercap-wpa.html" which claimed that performing a mitm attack on a WPA network is done exactly the same as on an unencrypted network (no handshake or passkey stuff required as long as you're connected to the AP).
Incidently, I have tried performing the attack just like on and unencrypted network (except I tried bothe Arpspoof and Ettercap-ng) but I end up DOSing both myself and my victim laptop.
So, my questions are:
1. Is the answer to this thread correct in saying that performing a MITM attack on a WPA is done the same as on an open network?
2. If question 1. is "yes", then what am I doing wrong? (I will post my commands if that is the case)
Thanks in advance!
Well you're connected to the network right ? So yes..
Posting commands used is always good to allow people to see what you have tried.
Ok, thanks. I appreciate the help. I'm fairly certain its not a driver issue cause as I said before aircrack-ng works fine. I am using Backtrack 4 running on a Dell Mini 9 with an Intel 5100 card.
Here are my commands. obviously they are run as root.
Using Arpspoof:
Using Ettercap-NG:Code:echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 sslstrip -k -f -l 8080 arpspoof -i wlan0 -t 192.168.1.7 192.168.1.1
Also, for etter.conf I have cahnged ec_uid to 0, and ec_gid to 0. I did not uncomment the iptables line since I was using Sslstrip.Code:echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 sslstrip -k -f -l 8080 ettercap -T -i wlan0 -Tq -M ARP // //
Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.
Ok, I figured it out. Thanks TAPE for clarifying that its possible. For all those who may read this post in the future I would like to clarify:
Contrary to what some other sites (I can remember specifically but I've read it somewhere) say, it is entirely possible to perform a MITM attack using Arpspoof (and probably Ettercap to but I haven't got it to work yet) on a WPA or WPA2 encrypted network. I sucessfully used Arpspoof and Sslstrip to sniff passwords on my WPA2 network. I'm sure many many people have done this before but I had spent a long time trying to find out if it was even possible, which it is.
Just in case anyone is wondering what commands I used:
Code:echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward arpspoof -i wlan0 -t 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.1 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 cd /home/christopher/.sslstrip-0.7 #of course you will have to change this to your location python sslstrip.py -k -f -l 8080
Perhaps best to first try and single out a specific host with ettercap
Code:ettercap -Tq -i wlan0 -M arp:remote /192.168.1.7/ /192.168.1.1/
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
Thanks guys! Actually, I've got it working with Ettercap in the meantime using the same commands as on an unencrypted network. Sorry I'm so slow to post. Thanks for the help TAPE, I actually had set specific targets I just typed it wrong in my post, but thanks for your time.
Also, Gitsnik, thanks for the tip, I'll look into making my own Arp packets. That sounds like a useful thing to know how to do. I really appreciate you guys.
I will mark this thread as solved.
edit: Actually, I can't figure out how to mark this thread as solved. If this is important please let me know how, otherwise I will assume that only the Admins can do that. thanks guys

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/1/2013 (1686 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A young Winnipeg man was killed in a snowboarding accident Tuesday at a B.C. resort.
Nick Voyer-Taylor, 22, died from injuries he sustained at the Big White resort, near Kelowna.
The B.C. Coroner's Service said Voyer-Taylor had been snowboarding before he was found injured, unconscious and partially submerged in water.
Members of the resort's ski patrol pulled him out and he was taken to Kelowna General Hospital but could not be revived.
Julie Voyer-Taylor said her son left for B.C. five weeks ago, where he worked as a cook at the Big White ski resort. She said his death came on the seventh anniversary of the death of his father.
Voyer-Taylor had worked as a cook at the popular downtown Rudy's Eat & Drink in Manitoba Hydro Place on Graham Avenue since it opened about 18 months ago.
Friends at the restaurant were devastated by the news about Voyer-Taylor's death.
"Nick was just a super nice guy," David Jolicoeur said. "He could talk to anybody and he had a lot of friends."
Jolicoeur said Voyer-Taylor planned to stay at Big White until April and then move to Vancouver to work as a chef. Voyer-Taylor was a graduate of J.H. Bruns Collegiate.
The B.C. coroner's office continues to investigate the death.

A CORONER has called for measures to prevent deaths on a road bend which has seen two fatal motorcycle collisions in two years.
South and East Cumbria coroner Ian Smith has written to Cumbria County Council following the death of Gary Roberts, of Accrington, on the A683 in Middleton, in March.
At an inquest at Kendal Magistrates' Court, he gave a verdict that Mr Roberts, 63, died as a consequence of a collision, which took place on March 18.
The inquest heard the collision happened near the site of a previous fatal motorbike accident, a year earlier.
Mr Roberts had been riding from Shap to Kirkby Lonsdale with around seven others when it happened.
Mr Smith said on the road at Middleton, the back wheel of Mr Roberts' bike slid away from under him, 'leading to a loss of control'. Mr Roberts collided with a post. A post-mortem examination revealed he suffered severe head and brain injuries.
At the inquest, fellow rider Karen Rostrom, of Blackburn, said she had seen Mr Roberts' bike touch a long stretch of gravel in the middle of the road before his back wheel 'skipped out'.
Diane Bowman, the collision investigator, told the inquest: "It's my belief that the strip of gravel is highly likely to have contributed to the collision."
Cumbria County Council's network highways manager Tony Beaty said since the death of Mr Roberts the site was inspected for debris on a weekly basis. He said: "I've tossed this over in my mind and I can't think of anything that would improve it [the road] except regular sweeping, given the topography."
In summing up, Mr Smith said he would write to the county council to record that there had been two fatal accidents on that stretch and a previous non-fatal incident.
"Something has to be done, and said, and recorded," he said. "The letter would be addressed to the county council Highways Department, placing on record what has happened and that they need to carry on inspecting the road on a regular basis and to consider any extra options open. They should give it some further thought."
Mr Roberts' son Andrew Roberts, 36, of Horne Street, in Accrington, said it had been a hard year for the family.
His sister Debbie added: "I know it's sad but I think Gary would be pleased the accident happened up here. He lived for riding, it was what he loved."

FIVE people have been arrested after a suspected handgun was found in a car.
Police were called by a motorist travelling on the M65 who reported that someone in a red Fiat Punto had pointed what they thought was a firearm towards them.
The incident happened yesterday between junctions seven and eight on the motorway.
The Fiat Punto left the M65 at junction eight and headed towards Bury on the A56.
Details were passed to officers at Greater Manchester Police, who received reports of two cars driving at speed near Bolton Road, in Bury, just after 4pm.
When officers attended, they found a Fiat Punto and a black Audi A4 had crashed in Croston's Road.
The firearm was recoverd from the Punto. Two men, aged 18 and 22 from Blackburn, and one woman aged 26 and from Newchurch, Rossendale, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of possession of a firearm.
Another two men, aged 33 and 37 from Blackburn, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of affray.
They are all currently in custody. The firearm has been sent for forensic analysis.
Det Insp Mark Vaughton, of Blackburn CID, said: "We believe that the occupants of the Fiat Punto and the Audi are from the East Lancashire area and are known to one another.
"While we have recovered a firearm there is thankfully no suggestion that this was discharged at any point during the incident.
"Having said that we are treating this extremely seriously and we are working closely with our colleagues in Greater Manchester Police to progress this inquiry.
"Investigations are on-going and I would appeal for anyone who witnessed either of the two vehicles at any stage during this incident to get in touch with us."
Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting log number 775 of Wednesday, January 22, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

WITNESSES are being sought after a family was rescued from a ditch when their car crashed near Pickering.
A Fiat Panda, which was believed to be carrying grandparents taking their grandchildren out of the day, ended up on its side in a ditch after being involved in a collision with a blue MG ZR car next to RAF Fylngdales on the Whitby to Pickering road.
The five people in the Fiat were taken to Scarborough Hospital by ambulance for treatment for injuries which are not believed to be life threatening.
The man driving the MG, from the Stafford area, was uninjured as a result of the crash at 9.25am on Saturday.
Emergency assistance was provided by North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue and staff from RAF Fylingdales.
Traffic was managed around the collision scene to allow the police to investigate and for the recovery of the Fiat Panda from the ditch. The road was back to normal by 11.50am.
Witnesses to the collision or anyone who recalls seeing either the blue Fiat Panda or the blue MG ZR prior to the incident, are urged to call North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask for Gareth Gilleard. Or email firstname.lastname@example.com
