The Feds Won’t Stop Terrorism This Way

Posted on by

“While the current rationale for encryption back doors is to fight terrorism, they wouldn’t be used just for that purpose. For proof, just look at the history of the PATRIOT Act. This law gives the US government unprecedented civil forfeiture authority over the US ‘correspondent accounts’ of any bank in the world. If an alleged terrorist or other criminal deposits money at the bank overseas, the PATRIOT Act allows the government to seize an equivalent sum of money in the correspondent account in the US.  Proponents justified the law as a necessary escalation in the ‘War on Terror.’ But the very first time the government used its new civil forfeiture authority, it had nothing to do with terrorism.”

Does fear make Americans stupid?

Posted on by

ddc-header1

“Terrorists strike, people feel fear, and the terrorists win. This is foolish. More Americans are killed by their cars or bathtubs, but you don’t fear those things. You shouldn’t fear terrorism either. Fear has been bad for America.  Every time the public feels afraid the politicians do something stupid. For example: We felt fear about 9-11 so we imposed the Patriot Act and the TSA on ourselves.  We felt fear about supposed weapons of mass destruction, and so we invaded Iraq. That invasion was the petri dish for ISIS.  Now we’re afraid of ISIS. So that means we must be on the verge of doing something else idiotic. Please refuse to participate in the stupidity. Instead, actively oppose it.”

Bruce Schneier: Why are we spending $7 billion per year on TSA?

Posted on by

“The only reason they’ve been able to get away with the scam for so long is that there isn’t much of a threat of terrorism to defend against.  Even with all these actual and potential failures, there have been no successful terrorist attacks against airplanes since 9/11. If there were lots of terrorists just waiting for us to let our guard down to destroy American planes, we would have seen attacks — attempted or successful — after all these years of screening failures. No one has hijacked a plane with a knife or a gun since 9/11. Not a single plane has blown up due to terrorism.”

For Terrorist Fearmongers, It’s Always the Scariest Time Ever

Posted on by

“Here we are 14 years after 9/11, and it’s still always the worst threat ever in all of history, never been greater. If we always face the greatest threat ever, then one of two things is true: 1) fearmongers serially exaggerate the threat for self-interested reasons, or 2) they’re telling the truth — the threat is always getting more severe, year after year — which might mean we should evaluate the wisdom of ‘terrorism’ policies that constantly make the problem worse. Whatever else is true, the people who should have the least credibility on the planet are the Lindsey Grahams and Dianne Feinsteins who have spent the last 15 years exploiting the terror threat in order to terrorize the American population.”

TSA Overlooks 95% of Weapons In Security Checkpoint Tests

Posted on by

bruce-blog3

“An internal investigation of the Transportation Security Administration revealed security failures at dozens of the nation’s busiest airports, where undercover investigators were able to smuggle mock explosives or banned weapons through checkpoints in 95 percent of trials, ABC News has learned.  The series of tests were conducted by Homeland Security Red Teams who pose as passengers, setting out to beat the system.”

What’s in Your Wallet? Coming Soon: a National ID Card

Posted on by

“An interlinked system is a far greater security risk than a decentralized one, with each state issuing ID cards according to its own rules. That’s because if hackers manage to penetrate it, they’ll have access to identity documents in all 50 states – not just one. That means hackers will be able to copy your birth certificate, your passport, your Social Security card, and any other document you submitted to get your ‘secure’ driver’s license.  Moreover, since there’s no requirement that the data on your Real ID be protected in any way, private companies can use the information in it at will. Every retailer that requires identification will swipe your Real ID and then sell the data.”

Bill to Restrict N.S.A. Spying Blocked By Senate Republicans

Posted on by

“Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked a sweeping overhaul of the once-secret National Security Agency program that collects records of Americans’ phone calls in bulk.  Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, worked hard to defeat the bill, which had the support of the Obama administration and a coalition of technology companies including Apple, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo.  ‘This is the worst possible time to be tying our hands behind our backs,’ Mr. McConnell said before the vote, expressing the concerns of those who argued that the program was a vital tool in the fight against terrorism.”

9/11 Commission Chair: Declassify EVERYTHING

Posted on by

“9/11 Commission chairman Thomas Keane has previously called for the declassification of the secret 28 pages of the Congressional 9/11 Inquiry, and said that 60-70% of what was classified shouldn’t have been classified in the first place. The 9/11 Commissioners publicly expressed anger at cover ups and obstructions of justice by the government into a real 9/11 investigation. No wonder the Co-Chair of the congressional investigation into 9/11 – Bob Graham –  and 9/11 Commissioner and former Senator Bob Kerrey are calling for either a ‘permanent 9/11 commission‘ or a new 9/11 investigation to get to the bottom of it.”

US Pursues 134 Wars Around the World

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“This many wars – 134 – is an insupportable number. Legally it is possible; militarily it is feasible; politically it is doable – but not in the long term. Natural law itself militates against the kind of structure that has evolved in the US since 2001. Perhaps the financing will be the first to go. The vast amounts of money needed to support the military paradigm must be milked from the securities sector, itself fattened by monopoly monetary stimulation. Eventually, as we have long pointed out, this sort of effort is insupportable. The Wall Street Party is ongoing and may last several more years (with various interruptions) but the corporate warfare state as a matter of systemic practice cannot last.”
