Who Needs an Official State Media When We’ve Got CNN?

Posted on by

“In a recent Esquire column, Charles Pierce recalled presidential historian George Reedy’s prediction years ago that so-called ‘shield laws,’ which protect reporters against criminal prosecution for not revealing their sources, would involve de facto government licensing of the press. After all, the law would have to define who qualified as a ‘journalist’ for purposes of such legal protection.  And guess what? US Senator Dianne Feinstein just bore him out. She ‘insisted on limiting the legal protection to ‘real reporters’ and not, she said, a 17-year-old with his own website.'”

This Is What Happens When Americans Place Their Trust In The State

Posted on by

“Ron Paul tried to warn again, and again, and again, prior to 9/11, that America’s foreign policy could someday come back to bite us here at home.  After that tragic day did sadly occur, the Neocons and the U.S. government received (as Dick Cheney said) an amazing amount of trust and belief in what they could do. Now, here we are just 12 years later. Bloomberg is out today with a national poll that says 68% say that the government is on the wrong track. A few days ago, Gallup released a poll showing that American belief that government is too powerful is at record levels.  But this is 12 years later….Dick & The Gang took the huge opening and crammed in as much as they possibly could.”

Microsoft reports 37,000 government data requests in first half of 2013

Posted on by

“The report shows Microsoft received 37,196 requests from law enforcement agencies, potentially impacting 66,539 accounts in the first six months of 2013.  The company said it provided ‘non-content data’ — usually names or basic subscriber information — in 77 percent of requests, and nothing in some 21 percent.  In 2.19 percent of the cases, the company turned over ‘customer content,’ with more than 90 percent of these in the United States.  Tech firms including Microsoft. Google and Facebook have been seeking to release more information on government data requests, in the belief that this would reassure customers.”

When A Sociopath Prattles to Psychopaths

Posted on by

“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.'”

The Government Is Spying On Us Through Our Computers, Phones, Cars…

Posted on by

“Private contractors can also view all of your data … and the government isn’t keeping track of which contractors see your data and which don’t. And top NSA and FBI experts say that the government can retroactively search all of the collected information on someone since 9/11 if they suspect someone of wrongdoing … or want to frame him.  The American government is in fact collecting and storing virtually every phone call, purchases, email, text message, internet searches, social media communications, health information, employment history, travel and student records, and virtually all other information of every American.”

N.S.A. Gathers Data on Social Connections of U.S. Citizens

Posted on by

“Since 2010, the National Security Agency has been exploiting its huge collections of data to create sophisticated graphs of some Americans’ social connections that can identify their associates, their locations at certain times, their traveling companions and other personal information, according to newly disclosed documents and interviews with officials.  The agency can augment the communications data with material from public, commercial and other sources, including bank codes, insurance information, Facebook profiles, passenger manifests, voter registration rolls and GPS location information, as well as property records and unspecified tax data, according to the documents.”

Drug Agents Use Vast Phone Trove, Eclipsing N.S.A.’s

Posted on by

“For at least six years, law enforcement officials working on a counternarcotics program have had routine access, using subpoenas, to an enormous AT&T database that contains the records of decades of Americans’ phone calls — parallel to but covering a far longer time than the National Security Agency’s hotly disputed collection of phone call logs. Hemisphere covers every call that passes through an AT&T switch — not just those made by AT&T customers — and includes calls dating back 26 years, according to Hemisphere training slides bearing the logo of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. Some four billion call records are added to the database every day.”

Who Wants Marijuana To Remain Illegal?

Posted on by

google-search-header2

“Police unions, private prison corporations, alcohol and beer companies, pharmaceutical companies, and prison guard unions are said to be in the top five in terms of lobbying and paying lawmakers to keep marijuana illegal. Hey, this is DEMOCRACY at work. This is the best system on earth, right? This is the system the U.S. government tells us it wants for Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.  If some foreign government through its politics forbids women from walking around without burkas on, that is a sign of its tyranny, U.S. officials tell us. But if the existing U.S. system forbids someone from using marijuana or some other drug, this is not infringing rights and it’s not oppressive.”

Ohio Supreme Court Takes Up Photo Enforcement Kangaroo Courts

Posted on by

“Toledo, Columbus and Dayton have joined Redflex Traffic Systems of Australia in petitioning the justices to overturn a Court of Appeals decision from June that found Toledo’s administrative review process unconstitutional.  The ruling has city officials worried about the potential for losing millions if the court decides Toledo deprived vehicle owners of their due process rights by usurping jurisdiction in setting up administrative panels that offer the accused less of a chance to win their appeal. Redflex in its court briefs claims a loss in the case could cost cities $100 million. Optotraffic, a competing camera vendor, predicted ‘copy-cat lawsuits’ would be filed in every jurisdiction.”

California: Two More Cities Chose To End Red Light Camera Use

Posted on by

“Though Redflex made $361,200 from operating the cameras in El Cajon, the city ended up losing $62,000 after ticket revenue was split with state and county governments. Money was not an issue in South Gate which also terminated its contract earlier this month. Officials predicted the program would make $75,763 in profit for the South Gate and $336,319 for Redflex out of the $5 million worth of tickets issued. After ten years, the city council decided to end the program based on public input.  Cities have also recently been spooked by the Redflex bribery scandal in Chicago, Illinois that has already cut the Australian firm’s profit in half.”
