NSA chief denies that the agency is spying on your Facebook profile

Posted on by

“General Keith Alexander told a Senate hearing that a New York Times article ‘jumped to the conclusion this was done on Americans, that’s not true.’  He told the Judiciary Committee that the NSA, which has been under fire following revelations about vast surveillance efforts which collect data on Americans, only uses social networks when it is investigating ‘someone who is part of a terrorist investigation.’  ‘The fact that people assume that we’re out there mapping the social networks of US persons is absolutely wrong. What we do go after is those that are the subject of a terrorist investigation or something like that.'”

When A Sociopath Prattles to Psychopaths

Posted on by

google-search-header2

“Gen. Keith Alexander ought to give even criminally insane narcissists like Obummer pause. This is the maniac who wasted our taxes on duplicating the Star Ship Enterprise – I kid you not – as his office (easy to do when you can bury whatever astronomical amount such vanity cost in a ‘black’ budget). That by itself indicates his immorality and mental instability, let alone his pathological lying every time he opens his mouth.  No matter: a ‘security conference in Washington today[,]…which was attended primarily by government and industry officials specializing in cybersecurity’ and fascism, asked him to deliver  ‘a keynote speech.'”

Chicago Police Devastated This Man’s Life, And Now They Owe Him $1M

Posted on by

“Today Collins is a free man, acquitted of all charges, and the Chicago Police owe him $1 million. His seven-year odyssey may have finally ended this week, when a jury unanimously found the two officers involved guilty of malicious prosecution for fabricating the case against him.  Court documents and interviews reveal a remarkable story of a barber who blew the whistle on two veteran police officers and was vindicated. But the details of Collins’ case also underscore just how difficult it is for an ordinary citizen to prove misconduct by the police. Innocence, of course, is helpful. But luck is essential.”

Obama’s NSA review panel: An arm of the national security apparatus

Posted on by

“What did the Associated Press expect with the latest ‘hey, we’ll investigate ourselves’ project? The AP is shocked, shocked to find that the supposedly independent review of the NSA’s practices has started to look a lot like an operation run by its parent organization; that would be the same James Clapper who misled Congress on the nature of the NSA’s activities, and then later claimed to have been as transparent as possible.  Ron Wyden had actually given Clapper a full day’s notice on the question, but rather than ask for a classified briefing, offered a false denial instead.  Now he’s basically running the investigation into himself, but we knew that already.  The AP is just catching up.”

Police change story after video shows breaking student’s leg over ticket

Posted on by

“A group of police officers who allegedly broke the leg of an arts student and told her ‘we don’t care if it’s legal’ have been allowed to change their defence at the eleventh hour after CCTV footage of the assault emerged.  Rachel Gardner is suing the NSW police force claiming she was kicked, sat on, handcuffed, pushed against a fence, loaded into a paddy wagon and then dumped at a nearby train station without charge after being caught without a train ticket on March 13, 2011.  Police initially denied the kick occurred but sought to amend their defence in the Sydney District Court on Monday, minutes before the beginning of a five-day trial.”

Gun registry ‘scheme’ among concerns over US signing of UN arms treaty

Posted on by

“The treaty would regulate the $70 billion global trade in conventional arms. The U.S. is the largest arms exporter in the world, and Kerry’s signature was seen as a significant step in pushing it forward. Supporters say the treaty sends a bold global message advocating the first-ever moral standards on the cross-border trade linked to human rights violations around the world. But to some on U.S. soil, the treaty treads into dangerous territory and could step on the constitutional rights of Americans. They point in part to language, at the very beginning of the document, that includes ‘small arms and light weapons’ and worry this could cover firearms owned by Americans.”

Government Shutdown: An Oxymoron for Real Morons

Posted on by

“The words ‘government shutdown’ do not mean ‘government shutdown.’ They mean ‘boondoggle shutdown.’ They mean ‘special-interest-group-subsidy shutdown.’ What about the Post Office? Will it get shut down? No.  What about the CIA? Will it get shut down? No.  What about the NSA? Will it get shut down? No.  What about the TSA? Will it get shut down? No.  What about the Department of Homeland Security? Will it get shut down? No.  My suggestion: stop worrying about a government shutdown. Instead, keep worrying about the government staying open . . . just like you did before.”

Shutdown: ObamaCare (No) and the Federal Government (No)

Posted on by

“So, how long will House Republicans continue to take a stand? Until the polls indicate that they will lose in November 2014.  On October 1, enrollment in the exchanges is to begin. But hardly anyone knows how to enroll yet. The computer programs are not ready. The confusion has not yet hit. The sense of betrayal has not yet hit Obama’s poll numbers.  If Republicans can hold out long enough for resentment against the program to spread, they win politically. They can hold out longer. But at some point, they will capitulate. That’s what the uncertainty is all about. It’s about the timing of their capitulation.”

How to Decode the True Meaning of What NSA Officials Say

Posted on by

“An equally insidious threat to the integrity of our national debate, however, comes not from officials’ outright lies but from the language they use to tell the truth. When it comes to discussing government surveillance, U.S. intelligence officials have been using a vocabulary of misdirection—a language that allows them to say one thing while meaning quite another. The assignment of unconventional meanings to conventional words allows officials to imply that the NSA’s activities are narrow and closely supervised, though neither of those things is true. What follows is a lexicon for decoding the true meaning of what NSA officials say.”
