CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He Gassed Iran

Posted on by

“The CIA documents, which sat almost entirely unnoticed in a trove of declassified material at the National Archives in College Park, Md., combined with exclusive interviews with former intelligence officials, reveal new details about the depth of the United States’ knowledge of how and when Iraq employed the deadly agents. They show that senior U.S. officials were being regularly informed about the scale of the nerve gas attacks. They are tantamount to an official American admission of complicity in some of the most gruesome chemical weapons attacks ever launched.”

Paul Craig Roberts: Another Western War Crime In The Making

Posted on by

withkitties_150_1202

“The UK Independent reports that over this past week-end Obama, Cameron, and Hollande agreed to launch cruise missile attacks against the Syrian government within two weeks despite the lack of any authorization from the UN and despite the absence of any evidence in behalf of Washington’s claim that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons against the Washington-backed “rebels”, largely US supported external forces, seeking to overthrow the Syrian government.  Indeed, one reason for the rush to war is to prevent the UN inspection that Washington knows would disprove its claim and possibly implicate Washington in the false flag attack by the ‘rebels.'”

Targeted Killings in the Drone War—Illegal and Unconstitutional

Posted on by

eland_ivan_100x1331

“We were all laboring under the illusion that U.S. Pakistani ‘friends’ had reluctantly agreed to allow drone attacks on their soil in exchange for bucket loads of cash in foreign aid. Now we find out that U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan were permitted only if the U.S. also killed an Islamist militant leader whose forces were focusing their attacks on the Pakistani government. In June 2004, in the first targeted assassination in Pakistan using a Predator drone, the Bush administration killed Nek Muhammad.  A damning report by the CIA inspector general on abuses in CIA secret prisons had spurred the CIA to change from capturing terrorism suspects to gain valuable information to simply assassinating them.”

A Congressman who Doesn’t Cotton to the Constitution

Posted on by

“Rep. Cotton has proposed a measure that would punish family members of people who violated U.S. sanctions against Iran with prison sentences of up to 20 years. As Cotton explained: ‘There would be no investigation. If the prime malefactor of the family is identified on the list for sanctions, then everyone within their family would automatically come within the sanctions regime as well.’ The sanctions measure itself is constitutionally illegitimate, since Congress has no jurisdiction over the military and economic policies of any other nation.  Rep. Cotton would compound that offense against the Constitution by imposing collective punishment – without trial – on the basis of kinship.”

Our Moral Crisis

Posted on by

C4SSLogo22

“It seems official, the United States is a permanent wartime state. Senior Obama Administration officials have stated that the War on Terror, in its ‘limitless form,’ will carry on for another decade, possibly two. Given our role in the world, as an economic and military super-power, and given the economic, social and environmental crisis we see the world in, we must no longer deny that US foreign policy is a great agent of repression. We are a global threat to peace, security, liberty and the environment. Violence has become our foreign policy – it is the status quo. Perhaps what is most disturbing is the support the public lauds on politicians who support aggressive foreign policy.”

AFP: War Powers Resolution gives Obama the power to attack Syria

Posted on by

“US President Barack Obama has the authority to launch air strikes against Syria. But he has to notify lawmakers in Congress — a process which Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday has begun. ‘The administration is actively consulting with members of Congress, and we will continue to have these conversations in the days ahead,’ Kerry said in a strongly-worded statement on Syria.  According to a senator, a response on Syria ‘is imminent’ and US military ‘assets are in place.’ Some lawmakers, including many with ties to the ultraconservative Tea Party, unsuccessfully tried in July to preventively block an attack on Syria without the approval of Congress.”

NSA inspector general admits to ‘willful violations’ of agency’s authority

Posted on by

“US intelligence analysts have deliberately broken rules designed to prevent them from spying on Americans, according to an admission by the National Security Agency that undermines fresh insistences from Barack Obama on Friday that all breaches were inadvertent.  A report by the NSA’s inspector general is understood to have uncovered a number of examples of analysts choosing to ignore so-called ‘minimisation procedures’ aimed at protecting privacy, according to officials speaking to Bloomberg.  These cases flatly contradict assurances given by President Obama that the NSA was only ever acting in good faith.”

Are Bush and Obama Different from Hitler and Stalin?

Posted on by

google-search-header2

“I am thinking of aggressive wars, torture, show trials, renditions, abasement of rights like due process, attacks on free speech, claims of executive privileges and powers, executive orders, propaganda machinery, claims of the power to assassinate, undeclared wars, excessive executive powers, holding prisoners without trial, favoritism to particular interests, multiplication of arbitrary agencies and bureaucracies, a rising climate of fear, encouraging people to spy on one another, massive surveillance, internal martial policing and searches, and multiplication of laws. Nazism with its 1,000 year Reich is messianic and so is Communism. U.S. leaders increasingly have adopted messianic goals.”

Guantanamo Bay Authorities Ban Solzhenitsyn’s ‘The Gulag Archipelago’

Posted on by

techdirt1

“The legal team for Shaker Aamer, a British resident who has been detained in Guantanamo without charge or trial for 11 years, attempted to deliver a copy of The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn during a recent visit.  Of course, this isn’t the first time that ‘The Gulag Archipelago’ has had problems with the authorities: when it was completed in 1968, it had to be smuggled out of the Soviet Union on microfilm so that it could be published in the West.”

NSA broke encryption on UN communications: report

Posted on by

“The move provided the agency with ‘a dramatic improvement of data from video teleconferences and the ability to decrypt this data traffic.’ The NSA, on one occasion, also allegedly caught the Chinese secret services eavesdropping on the UN in 2011, it added, quoting an internal report. Der Spiegel also claims that the US agency kept tabs on the European Union after it moved into new offices in New York in September 2012. Earlier reports in Der Spiegel and Britain’s the Guardian newspaper had detailed alleged widespread covert surveillance by the NSA of EU offices, including diplomatic missions in Washington and at the United Nations in New York, as well as Brussels.”
