India central bank red flags ‘virtual currency’

Posted on by

“The Reserve Bank of India has expressed concern over the rise of ‘virtual currencies’  which are the likes of bitcoin. Virtual currencies or crypto currencies have also come under the focus of the police. In its financial stability report, RBI has for the first time raised the issue of virtual currency in India. ‘The unregulated link between virtual currency (if permitted), and traditional currency with a legal tender status poses challenges as the complete control over the differently denominated virtual currency is given to its issuer, who governs the scheme and manages the supply of money at will,’ RBI said.”

Porn, wine and kazoos on IRS worker charge cards

Posted on by

“The IRS allows some of its 90,000 employees to use company charge cards to buy work-related items, such as office supplies.  However, employees made a host of ‘improper’ purchases — ranging from a dinner averaging $140 per person to Thomas the Tank Engine rubber wristbands. The inspector general said the IRS has been negligent when it comes to catching employees who circumvent $3,000 caps on transactions, by splitting purchases into several transactions.   The agency also doesn’t have a good record at turning off credit cards as soon as employees depart or retire.”

Retired U.S. Marine Gen. James Cartwright under investigation for alleged Stuxnet leak

Posted on by

“A former high-ranking US military officer is being probed for allegedly leaking details about a US cyberattack on Iran, a US media report said. Citing unnamed legal sources, NBC News said retired Marine Gen. James Cartwright has been told he is under investigation for allegedly disclosing details about the Stuxnet attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.  Cartwright, 63, is the former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The four-star general retired from the military in August 2011. Stuxnet, tailored specifically to target Iran’s uranium enrichment operation, struck Iran in 2010 and reportedly dealt a serious blow to its disputed nuclear program.”

WikiLeaks Volunteer Was a Paid Informant for the FBI

Posted on by

“In 2011, a cherubic 18-year-old Icelandic man named Sigurdur ‘Siggi’ Thordarson walked through the stately doors of the U.S. embassy in Reykjavík, his jacket pocket concealing his calling card: a crumpled photocopy of an Australian passport, a man with a unruly shock of platinum blonde hair and the name Julian Paul Assange.  Thordarson was long time volunteer for WikiLeaks with direct access to Assange and a key position as an organizer in the group. Thordarson served two masters, working for the secret-spilling website and simultaneously spilling its secrets to the U.S. government in exchange, he says, for a total of about $5,000.”

Catholic bishops: Indefinite detention ‘wounds the moral reputation of our nation’

Posted on by

“The top of the Catholic hierarchy in the United States on Tuesday called on U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to close down the Guantanamo Bay prison facility.  ‘Detainees have the right to a just and fair trial held in a timely manner,’ he told Hagel. ‘For at least 86 detainees ‘a crime has not first been proven.’ The indefinite detention of detainees is not only injurious to those individuals, it also wounds the moral reputation of our nation, compromises our commitment to the rule of law, and undermines our struggle against terrorism.’  Pates further said reports of forced feedings of prisoners on hunger strike suggested the U.S. was violating basic human rights.”

British inventor of the World Wide Web scolds ‘insidious’ Western governments over spying

Posted on by

“The British inventor of the World Wide Web accused Western governments of hypocrisy in spying on the Internet while lecturing repressive leaders across the world for doing exactly the same. Tim Berners-Lee, a London-born computer scientist who invented the Web in 1989 as the Berlin Wall crumbled, said the West was involved in ‘insidious’ online spying that could change the way normal people use their computers. Berners-Lee said the revelations about U.S. and British spying could alter the way people use the internet, especially for younger generations who can use it in intimate ways. He also questioned whether the governments could safeguard sensitive data once collected.”

Pardon Me? It isn’t Snowden Who Needs Clemency

Posted on by

C4SSLogo22

“It isn’t Snowden who needs clemency. It’s Barack Obama, his co-conspirators and his accessories before and after the fact. Nor is it Snowden alone before whom the crooks should be made to grovel for mercy. The fate of the Obama Spy Ring rightfully belongs in the hands of ALL its victims.  Will these telecom voyeurs, these data burglars — and their bosses — be made to truly pay for their crimes? It seems unlikely, as they are made members of the world’s most powerful organized crime syndicate, the government of the United States.”

U.S. Seemingly Unaware Of Irony In Accusing Snowden Of Spying

Posted on by

“At a press conference to discuss the accusations, an N.S.A. spokesman surprised observers by announcing the spying charges against Mr. Snowden with a totally straight face. ‘These charges send a clear message,’ the spokesman said. ‘In the United States, you can’t spy on people.’  Seemingly not kidding, the spokesman went on: ‘The American people have the right to assume that their private documents will remain private and won’t be collected by someone in the government for his own purposes.’ ‘Only by bringing Mr. Snowden to justice can we safeguard the most precious of American rights: privacy,’ added the spokesman, apparently serious.”
