‘Brilliant’ Snowden Digitally Impersonated NSA Officials

Posted on by

“The 30-year-old’s role as a ‘system administrator‘ meant that he was able to access NSAnet, the agency’s intranet, using those user profiles and without leaving any signature.  An official told NBC that the NSA identified several instances in which the elite NSA-trained hacker impersonated officials, and that the spy agency’s forensic investigation is ‘trying to figure out which higher level officials Snowden impersonated online to access the most sensitive documents.’ Last week Michael Isikoff, Cole, and Esposito reported that the NSA is ‘overwhelmed’ – does not know the full extent of the tens of thousands of documents the former NSA contractor took from its system.”

Spain fights to lose status as drug gateway to Europe

Posted on by

“The make-up of drug rings sending cocaine to Spain has changed as well. The Colombian groups which dominated the trade in the 1980s have given way bit by bit to Mexican cartels. Drug traffickers’ interest in Europe has increased because demand from the continent for cocaine is growing. Over the past decade the number of cocaine consumers in Europe has doubled while demand for the drug has plunged by 33 percent in the United States. In response European nations have reinforced regional cooperation as well as their cooperation with police forces in Latin America to stop the flow of cocaine. Hiding cocaine in banana shipments remains one of the favourite tactics used by traffickers.”

Peru dethrones Colombia as cocaine king

Posted on by

“With Peru already vying with Colombia in 2011 — it actually was growing 400 hectares of coca more than its neighbor then, although it is thought to have produced less drugs — that means this country is now almost certainly the world’s top source of coca for the manufacture of illegal narcotics.  Ricardo Soberon, now a trenchant critic of the government’s counter-narcotics policies, is not holding his breath. ‘These figures are a clear indication the government is making incorrect decisions,’ said Soberon, who was squeezed out of his job, apparently under pressure from Washington, in 2011, for allegedly being sympathetic to the impoverished, small farmers who grow most of Peru’s coca.”

SWAT overkill: Our military weaponry is now aimed at us

Posted on by

“Your elected representatives are pissing away massive amounts of your hard-earned money on a local arms race that continues to escalate, with no end in sight.  Ready access to heavy equipment discourages the more subtle practices of community policing, wherein cops walk a beat and know the people they are serving and protecting. Military hardware creates barriers, and fosters a sense of ‘us versus them.’ Consider this bizarre twist: In our fear of foreign attackers, we are amassing obscene amounts of military weapons, and turning them on our own citizens.  The asses we’re kicking are our own.”

The Most Awesomest War Ever! [2003]

Posted on by

google-search-header2

“Some would have us believe that concern over the gargantuan power held by a handful of men in Washington is beyond the pale of civilized conversation, yet this blind faith in American democracy is hardly warranted. Today’s president uses unbridled military might to destroy ‘rogue nations’ overseas, yet the day may again be approaching when that same power is used on ‘rogue Americans’ in our own neighborhoods. Today, Americans console themselves with the thought that ‘we’ are only destroying the lives of America-hating foreigners. Will we be so willing to brush aside the deaths of people whom the State tells us are ‘America-hating’ Americans?”

Obama honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq war

Posted on by

“White House aides meanwhile shied away from the question of whether Iraq was better off, 10 years after the United States launched an invasion on the grounds of eradicating weapons of mass destruction which were never found. ‘I think historians have to make the judgment,’ White House spokesman Jay Carney said. ‘I think that ridding the world of Saddam Hussein was a welcome development for the world and for Iraq, but again, the president opposed the policy, as candidate, of invading Iraq and as a candidate for president as well.’ US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel acknowledged the huge human toll the conflict had taken on the Iraqi people.”

The Iraq War: 10 Years Later

Posted on by

“Heading the list are George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Colin Powell, and Condoleezza Rice, followed by a large number of subordinates and co-conspirators, including Douglas Feith, Elliott Abrams, Richard Perle, and virtually every other prominent neoconservative in the country. Notwithstanding their crimes, they have prospered. Bush and Cheney were reelected. All of the others have gone on to live as seemingly respectable members of society. They occupy prestigious positions and move about freely; they receive public honors; many people treat them as praiseworthy figures. None of them were ever indicted by a U.S. court. In short, they have got off scot-free.”

Hey Iraqis: How’s that “Liberation” Stuff Workin’ Out For Ya?

Posted on by

C4SSLogo22

“Just what ‘liberation’ meant to Rummy, Dummy and Scummy can be seen from the agenda Paul Bremer implemented as head of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in Iraq.   Bremer’s CPA was a classic ‘night watchman state.’ Remember all those priceless historical treasures the looters ‘liberated’ from the National Museum while the U.S. looked the other way? With Night Watchman Bremer’s go-ahead, global corporate looters gave the Iraqi economy just as thorough a ransacking.  On top of everything else, Bremer appointed a whole slew of ministerial officials to five-year terms that would override any later decisions by an independent government.”

Iraq deaths reportedly over a million

Posted on by

“A study, published in prestigious medical journal The Lancet, estimated that over 600,000 Iraqis had been killed as a result of the invasion as of July 2006. Iraqis have continued to be killed since then. The estimate that over a million Iraqis have died received independent confirmation from a prestigious British polling agency in January 2008. Opinion Research Business estimated that the death toll between March 2003 and August 2007 was 1,033,000. This devastating human toll demands greater recognition. It eclipses the Rwandan genocide and our leaders are directly responsible. Little wonder they do not publicly cite it.”
