The NSA and Its “Compliance Problems”

Posted on by

“For ordinary citizens, ‘compliance problems’ with the law are better known as ‘crimes’ (or possibly civil wrongs) and these lead to judgment debts, fines, and possibly even jail time, depending on the severity of the lack-of-compliance. But for government officials such notions are irrelevant — legal compliance problems are just something you file a report about, and send to another bureaucrat higher up in the government chain, so that he can bury it on his desk. Unfortunately, this is not a new phenomenon. The notion of the rule of law is the wellspring of an endless stream of hypocrisy in the modern social-democratic welfare-warfare state.”

John Kerry’s Tender Sensibilities

Posted on by

C4SSLogo22

“In response to Bashir Assad’s crossing of a ‘red line’ by allegedly using chemical weapons against his own people, Secretary of State John Kerry cites his own fatherly feelings as justification for the all-but-inevitable looming US military intervention in Syria. ‘As a father, I can’t get the image out of my head, of a father who held up his dead child, wailing …’ Hopefully CNN will try extra hard to sanitize the war footage from Syria once the bombing starts, now that we know how badly dead Syrian kids upset Kerry. Because there are a lot more dead Syrian kids on the way. This is the same John Kerry who served in Vietnam, and who backed two attacks on Iraq and one on Afghanistan, is it not?”

U.S. Has No Moral Standing to Condemn Assad

Posted on by

“Since 1945, the U.S. government has launched aggressive wars in violation of international law. It has tortured prisoners detained without charge. It has dropped atomic bombs on civilian centers, and used napalm, Agent Orange, depleted-uranium shells, and white phosphorus incendiary weapons. It has carpet bombed and firebombed cities. America’s unexploded landmines and cluster bombs still threaten the people of Vietnam and Cambodia. Today it inflicts suffering with Iranian economic sanctions — just as it did to the Iraqi people from 1990 to 2003. The Obama administration bankrolls Egypt’s military government, which massacred over a thousand street demonstrators.”

Obama administration hints it could act alone on Syria

Posted on by

“The United States hinted Thursday it could act alone to punish Syria for a chemical weapons attack. The Obama administration also denied that public skepticism dating to an Iraq war intelligence debacle was complicating its effort to justify possible military action against Syria. Obama, who came to power criticizing his predecessor George W. Bush’s go-it-alone approach on foreign policy, was confronted Thursday with a choice over whether to wait for allies or launch unilateral US action.  Obama aides stress they envisage only ‘limited’ punitive action in Syria and dismiss comparisons with the US invasion of Iraq, which the president built his political career on opposing.”

How the IRS Violates Legal Tender Laws

Posted on by

The-Circle-Bastiat-311

“One would think that it is more costly to deal with non-cash methods of payment. In any case, the last time I checked, the Federal Reserve Notes in my wallet all still bore the notice, ‘This note is legal tender for all debts public and private’ This means that they cannot be refused by the creditor for repayment of a debt previously incurred–especially not for payment of taxes, which are the pre-eminent ‘public debt.’ While the IRS may not be strictly in violation of legal tender laws, because one can still use cash to pay at some IRS offices, its anti-cash policy is just another tactic in the Federal government’s relentless war to stamp out cash payments.”

McCain’s Next Stop: Guantanamo?

[May 2013] “First, it has emerged that the some of the individuals he met with in Syria are actually ruthless kidnappers, who snatched men, women, and children from a Lebanese bus. Second, McCain’s Free Syrian Army in Aleppo have announced that they are merging with the US-designated terrorist group Jabhat al-Nusra, which is effectively a branch of al-Qaeda.  Finally, McCain’s Free Syrian Army are reported to have entered the Christian-populated al-Duvair village near Homs on May 27th and massacred the entire Christian civilian population of the village.  Section 1021 of the infamous 2012 National Defense Authorization Act prescribes indefinite detention for: [..]”

Will The US Really Condemn Terrorism in Syria?

Posted on by

[March 2013] “The US government’s various reports on religious freedom are largely politicized affairs designed to demonize practices in countries out of favor and skip over abuses among its allies. One could hardly imagine a more direct attack on religious liberty than to set off a bomb in a building of religious worship. But this attack has been perpetrated by US allies in Syria, who have benefited recently from 3,000 tons of sophisticated weapons shipped in by the US government and paid for by paragons of religious tolerance such as Saudi Arabia.”

Has US ‘Red Line’ On Syria Been Crossed?

Posted on by

google-search-header2

[March 2013] “Four days after House Intelligence Committee Chairman (and former FBI  agent) Mike Rogers reiterated in the Washington Post that the US ‘red line’ for military intervention in Syria would be that government’s use of chemical weapons, the US-allied opposition fighters have apparently used some sort of chemical device in Aleppo, killing at least 26, including 16 Syrian Army soldiers. Does the ‘red line’ count if it is the US allies using the weapons? In other words, does the US attack the Syrian government anyway now that the line has been crossed even though government troops and innocent civilians are the victims of the attack?”

“Imagine if an Iranian drone was collecting targeting data from off the US Atlantic coast after routinely warning the United States that a military attack on the United States remained ‘on the table.'”
