FBI objections to Nunes memo lack credibility given bureau’s shady past

“The FISA court has always done a dismal job of overseeing the vast surveillance regime it helped spawn. FISA provided a stamp of legitimacy for perpetual deceit  and perhaps the worst trampling of constitutional rights in American history. Regardless of the outcome of the current brawl, Washington must radically decrease secret surveillance of the American people.”

Imagine Being Locked Up in Prison because of Bad Forensics

“Out of the 351 cases in which the Innocence Project used DNA to exonerate wrongfully convicted defendants, flawed forensic evidence contributed in nearly half.  Many Americans, especially those who think shows like Forensic Files and CSI accurately represent real life, believe that forensic evidence presented in criminal trials must be valid. But we have known for years that many forensic evidence techniques are highly subjective and unreliable.”

The Man Who Saved Russia from the Soviet Union

“A leading figure in the latter years of the Soviet government, Alexander Nikolaevich Yakovlev began his career as a Red Army officer and a Communist Party apparatchik, but he ultimately became a devoted and effective enemy of Soviet tyranny. He will be remembered as the architect of ‘perestroika’ (restructuring of the political and economic systems) in the late 1980s and its consequences: exposure of the heinous lies and crimes of the criminal Soviet regime and the inevitable demise of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). For most of his life, Yakovlev was a closet classical liberal in one of the most illiberal and collectivist societies in history.”

What the FISA Memo Reveals about the FBI, DNC, GOP–and the sketchy timeline

“All this shows is that power will also be abused. Secret power that much more.  But neither major party is actually fighting to strip these powers from the government. The GOP’s complaints of abuse of power ring hollow as they approve other Fourth Amendment violations authorized by the same legislation!  They are just fighting for the upper hand over their political opponents. This is not freedom versus tyranny. It is a war of factions.  That said, it is laughable that some worry the release of this memo will cause dangerous distrust in the FBI and DOJ.  The more people distrust those dangerous and secretive government agencies, the better!”

Presstitutes Lie Through Their Teeth About House Intelligence Committee Report

“The FISA court document, declassified and released, contains confessions from both the FBI and DOJ that the agencies misled the court and falsely acquired surveillance permission.  Why did the FBI and DOJ rush to confess to the FISA court? The reason is that NSA Director Adm. Rodgers discovered their illicit spying, investigated it, and let it be known that he was reporting the FBI and DOJ malfeasence to the FISA court. Adm. Rodgers also informed President Trump.  All of this is known. Yet the House Intelligence Committee and the White House released the ‘Nunes Memo’ without pointing out that it was already confirmed by the FISA court itself and by NSA Director Adm. Rogers. Why?”

National I.D. By Any Other Name Still Stinks

“The result, the report says, is a nationwide system in which ‘even a small-town sheriff in rural Georgia or Vermont could have access to a database of hundreds of millions of Americans’ images.’ Between that and E-Verify, that sheriff could easily tie a face to a Social Security account—a National I.D. measure that voters have vociferously opposed, and that was rejected when it was proposed in the 1970s.  This de facto National I.D. becomes even more expansive when combined with a number of new technologies that states are starting to roll out. Harper discusses the possible combinations of REAL ID and E-Verify with the facial and license plate recognition technologies many states are already using, either in experimental or full-fledged forms.”

Israel Planned To Blow Up Passenger Plane In Arafat Assassination Plot

“These were the techniques Israel used to carry out at least 2,700 assassination operations in its 70 years of existence. While many failed, they add up to far more than any other Western country, the book says.”

The U.S. Destruction of Afghanistan

“The U.S. invaded Afghanistan, killed, tortured, and incarcerated hundreds of thousands of people, and bombed the country to smithereens because the Taliban refused to comply with Bush’s unconditional extradition demand.  It’s also why the invasion was not limited to simply capturing or killing bin Laden but also extended to a regime-change operation against the Taliban itself.  That’s why there has been a civil war in Afghanistan ever since.”

Jacob Hornberger: The Biggest Threat to Our Country

“Why does the Bill of Rights protect us from the federal government rather than, say,  from ISIS, terrorists, illegal immigrants, drug dealers, communists, Muslims, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Vietnam, Russia, or China?  The answer is simple: Because the federal government, not those foreign entities, is the biggest threat to our country. That’s why the Bill of Rights focuses on it rather than on foreign entities.  But here’s the kicker, the one no one (except libertarians) likes to think about: The threat that the federal government poses to the country comes primarily in the form of the troops — yes, the same troops that most everyone profusely thank for their ‘service.'”

Trump’s North Korea Rhetoric: Carbon Copy of Bush On Iraq 15 Years Ago

“Anyone who was paying attention during George W. Bush’s State of the Union addresses in 2002 and 2003 would have found Trump’s statements frighteningly familiar: Trump used exactly the same justifications for war with North Korea as Bush had for war with Iraq when standing at the same podium.”
