6 Groups that Will Win Big From a War with Syria

Posted on by

“It has to be obvious to almost everyone that the US war machine is trying desperately to get another war going… and – at least for the moment – failing miserably.  The Romans had a phrase that they used for legal analysis: qui bono, which translates to ‘who benefits?’ Clearly, powerful individuals are pushing hard for the US to go to war. Let’s take a look at who these people are.”

Bradley Manning: The Mighty Fist!

Posted on by

C4SSLogo22

“We stand in solidarity with PFC Manning and the peace his actions stand for. The state has grown far too large. The centralized, federated nation-state is a great agent of repression. Its power lies in the hands of state servants who wish to extinguish what tiny flames of liberty are left among us. But for many, this sentence has inspired a howl so large that these flames may rage into a roaring fire.  If such an injustice can come down on Manning then it can come down on any of us who wish to challenge the immoral actions of the state. May the mighty fist of solidarity vanquish this state!”

Julian Assange: The Modern State Is Acting Like A Mongol Horde

Posted on by

EPJ13

“What is happening to the world now is not some Henry Kissinger-esque figure making secret plots…That happens a little bit, and those people like to think that they’re in charge. But it seems to me that what is actually going on is a pretty much out of control bureaucracy involving The State and Big Corporations, the National Security Agency now. Eighty-percent of its budget goes to Booz Allen Hamilton, Lockheed Martin… I liken it to a Mongul horde. Yeah, there are some people trying to be in charge of it in some ways, but its basically an unthinking, unreasoned process. And all the secrecy means that no one has the proper oversight of what is going on.”

Syria and the Perpetual War Economy

Posted on by

“The end of the Cold War did not bring a dismantling of the war apparatus. It found new enemies and new causes. Today, the unwinnable War on Terror virtually guarantees plenty of reasons for more military spending for years to come. The point of this discussion is not necessarily to rail against the military-industrial complex, as much as I hate it. Instead, I want you think about a more radical idea: That the military-industrial complex is now typical of how the American economy works across a breadth of industries.”

Bipartisan calls to cut off Egyptian aid emerge after military crackdown

Posted on by

“Untangling the aid relationship with Cairo would not be simple and could be costly for the United States as well as Egypt. A special financing arrangement Cairo uses could leave U.S. taxpayers holding the bill for billions of dollars in equipment Egypt already has ordered on credit, and companies like Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics that build military hardware for Egypt would be affected by aid restrictions.  Also on Sunday, several lawmakers made the point that the security of neighboring Israel and the Suez canal were compelling reasons in favor of continued aid. Since 1979, when Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel, it has been the second largest recipient, after Israel, of U.S. bilateral foreign aid.”

Syria strike could bring Raytheon payday

Posted on by

“A U.S. attack on Syria could translate into big bucks for defense giant Raytheon, which makes the Tomahawk cruise missile that’s said to be President Barack Obama’s weapon of choice.  Reports that the White House is planning an attack to punish Damascus for the use of chemical weapons sent Raytheon’s stock price to a 52-week high this week — and have reawakened grumblings in Congress that the military doesn’t buy enough Tomahawks.  Raytheon has delivered 252 missiles this fiscal year and 361 last fiscal year. And any Tomahawks fired at Syria would almost certainly represent a future increase in orders for the missiles, which can go for about $1 million apiece.”

AT&T paid for access to 4 billion call records a day for federal, local drug investigations

Posted on by

“US law enforcement officers working on anti-drugs operations have had access to a vast database of call records dating back to 1987, supplied by the phone company AT&T.  The project, known as Hemisphere, gives federal and local officers working on drug cases access to a database of phone metadata populated by more than four billion new call records each day.  Unlike the controversial call record accesses obtained by the NSA, the data is stored by AT&T, not the government, but officials can access individual’s phone records within an hour of an administrative subpoena.  AT&T receives payment from the government in order to sit its employees alongside drug units to aid with access to the data.”

Record labels ask UK broadband providers to collect data on illegal downloads

Posted on by

“BT, Virgin Media, BSkyB and TalkTalk are being asked by music and film companies to sign up to a voluntary code for policing illegal downloading. Negotiations have been underway for some months with the BPI, which represents the major labels including Warner, Sony and Universal, and the British Video Association, whose members include the BBC and Hollywood studios.  Measures could include throttling internet connections to slow them down, blocking users from particular sites, disconnecting offenders from broadband for a limited period, and ultimately prosecution. In order to implement these measures, broadband companies would need to keep a list of those customers.”

CEO of Danish CopyrightAlliance: “Control is Freedom!”

CEO of Danish CopyrightAlliance: “Control is Freedom!”

“Maria Fredenslund, the CEO of the Danish CopyrightAlliance, in a debate in which she argues for increased control of the Internet in the name of copyright, proclaims that ‘control is freedom.’ She lauds the ‘highly controlled and regulated society we live in’ and insists that ‘control gives us freedom.’ You see, ‘Control and regulation creates innovation … and personal liberty.’ She criticizes the Internet as being ‘undemocratic’ because there is not enough ‘control’ of it.  And people say I am exaggerating when I use the term ‘fascism’ to describe IP.”
