Jacob G. Hornberger: The Evil of the National-Security State, Part 3

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/logo2.gif

“A fascinating aspect of Operation Northwoods was the willingness of the Pentagon to sacrifice the lives of innocent people, including American citizens, as part of fake terrorist attacks to justify an invasion of Cuba. The idea, which has always been a guiding principle for the national-security state, especially within both the military and the CIA, was that the end justified the means.  To his credit, Kennedy rejected Operation Northwoods. But that didn’t dissuade the Pentagon and the CIA from continuing to support an invasion of Cuba. As it turned out, the chatter about invading Cuba reached both Cuba and the Soviet Union.”

Glenn Greenwald: Iraqi-American is imprisoned by US for saving his family from US sanctions

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/hamoodi2.png

“Dr. Shakir Hamoodi is an Iraqi-American nuclear engineer who just began a three-year prison sentence at the Fort Leavenworth, Kansas penitentiary for the ‘crime’ of sending sustenance money to his impoverished, sick, and suffering relatives in Iraq – including his blind mother – during the years when US sanctions (which is what caused his family’s suffering) barred the sending of any money to Iraq. The travesty of this case – and the havoc it has wreaked on the entire family – is repellent and genuinely infuriating. But it is sadly common in post-9/11 America, especially for American Muslim communities.”

Glenn Greenwald: US investigates possible WikiLeaks leaker for ‘communicating with the enemy’

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/An-Iraqi-man-reads-newspa-0062.jpg

“A US air force systems analyst who expressed support for WikiLeaks and accused leaker Bradley Manning triggered a formal military investigation last year to determine whether she herself had leaked any documents to the group. Air Force investigative documents, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, show that the analyst was repeatedly interviewed about her contacts with and support for WikiLeaks – what investigators repeatedly refer to as the ‘anti-US or anti-military group’ – as well as her support for the group’s founder, Julian Assange.”

Heat-seeking US election rhetoric finds Swiss “piracy”

“Anything goes in the US presidential elections, when it comes to lambasting and finding easy targets, but one of the oddest moves appeared Thursday, with the ‘Congressional International Anti-Piracy Caucus’ adding Italy and Switzerland to its black list. They join Russia, China and Ukraine on the list.  Switzerland, according to the group of 46 members of Congress, acts as a ‘magnet’ for piracy.  A key issue for the group appears to be strict Swiss data protection laws.”

Amish sect found guilty of hate crimes in beard cutting

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Amish-man-plows-field-via-AFP1.jpg

“An Amish bishop and 15 followers were convicted of hate crime charges in Ohio Thursday for a series of beard-cutting attacks against those they deemed had strayed from the faith.   The five separate raids were mainly carried out at night, with the victims forced out of bed, their beards and hair chopped off with horse mane shears and battery-powered clippers, and the roughshod barber work documented with embarrassing snapshots on a disposable camera.”

Italy upholds convictions of 23 CIA agents for imam kidnapping

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/photo_1336518727188-1-0-512x3451.jpg

[‘Extraordinary rendition’ only applies to some…] “Italy’s top court Wednesday confirmed guilty verdicts against 23 CIA agents for the 2003 abduction of an Egyptian imam in Milan and ordered a re-trial for five Italian ex-spies accused of taking part.  The CIA agents were all being tried in absentia in one of the world’s biggest court cases against the US ‘extraordinary rendition’ programme to interrogate alleged Islamist militants after the September 11, 2001 attacks.  Italy’s justice ministry is now obliged to make a formal request for the extradition of the agents, legal sources said, but the United States has already refused.”

Facebook yields to remove Hezbollah page under CIA pressure

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/ebrahimpour201208221651463271.jpg

“Facebook has removed Hezbollah-related pages in what can be seen as another attempt by Washington to muzzle criticism of US policies.  A spokesman for the social networking website told Lebanon’s Daily Star that the company removed the official Facebook page for Hezbollah’s al-Manar television because it ‘incited violence’.  Due to Hezbollah’s appearance on a list provided by the State Department that contains names of organizations that may be involved in the ‘promotion of violence’, they have been removed from the site, Wolen claimed.”
