Andrew Napolitano: Can the President Legally Kill Americans?

Posted on by

“President Obama has established a secret process that involves officials from the Departments of Justice and Defense, the CIA, and the White House senior staff whereby candidates are proposed for execution and the collective wisdom of the officials then recommends execution to the president.  If the recommendation is to kill and the president rejects it, the CIA is directed to arrest the person. If the president accepts the recommendation to kill, then death is ordered. The monstrous British King Henry VIII delegated the final say to his chancellor so that he could publicly disavow participation in the government murders.  Obama does not disavow them; he defends them.”

The Creepy New Security Credit Score for Spotting “Insider Threats”

Posted on by

“The new method, meant to identify leakers of classified information but also homegrown terrorists, drug financiers, school ground shooters, and even sexual predators, builds the security equivalent of a ‘credit score.’ It would secretly attach to every individual, while automatically generating and changing scores as behaviors and associations trigger indicators of anomalous activity. Every user, based upon clearances, time in service, personnel evaluations, derogatory information, anomalous transactions, credit score, etc., etc., will be churned in the temple of big data to detect the InThs who pose the most risk to an organization.”

NSA wants ‘front door’ access to users’ encrypted data

Posted on by

“NSA director Michael S. Rogers suggested tech companies could create a master multi-part encryption key capable of unlocking any device, The Washington Post reports. That way, if the key were broken into pieces, no single person would have the ability to use it. ‘I don’t want a back door,’ Rogers said. ‘I want a front door. And I want the front door to have multiple locks. Big locks.’ Government and law enforcement officials say total encryption could stand in the way of national security operations, while leaders in the tech industry and advocacy groups say the government shouldn’t have complete, unobstructed access to citizens’ private communications.”

Federal judge: CIA can keep Panetta review secret

Posted on by

“A federal judge has ruled that the Central Intelligence Agency need not release documents pertaining to a review the agency’s then-director ordered in 2009 of materials the Senate requested about CIA’s interrogation program many senators contend involved the torture of terror suspects.  The memos, often referred to as the Panetta Review after former director Leon Panetta, became fuel for a CIA-Senate tussle last year after some Senate Democrats said conclusions in those records were at odds with claims current CIA Director John Brennan made in the agency’s official response to an in-depth Senate Intelligence Committee investigation of the interrogation effort.”

Russian researchers expose U.S. hard drive firmware spying program

Posted on by

“The U.S. National Security Agency has figured out how to hide spying software deep within hard drives made by Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba and other top manufacturers, giving the agency the means to eavesdrop on the majority of the world’s computers, according to cyber researchers and former operatives. Kaspersky’s reconstructions of the spying programs show that they could work in disk drives sold by more than a dozen companies, comprising essentially the entire market. They include Western Digital Corp, Seagate Technology Plc, Toshiba Corp, IBM, Micron Technology Inc and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd.”

How “omnipotent” hackers tied to NSA hid for 14 years — found at last

Posted on by

“The money and time required to develop the Equation Group malware, the technological breakthroughs the operation accomplished, and the interdictions performed against targets leave little doubt that the operation was sponsored by a nation-state with nearly unlimited resources to dedicate to the project. The countries that were and weren’t targeted, the ties to Stuxnet and Flame, and the Grok artifact found inside the Equation Group keylogger strongly support the theory the NSA or a related US agency is the responsible party, but so far Kaspersky has declined to name a culprit. NSA officials didn’t respond to an e-mail seeking comment for this story.”

Charles Burris: Demonizing Putin Campaign Continues

Posted on by

“Ambrose Evans-Pritchard himself provided a key piece of the puzzle with his important online expose’ article, ‘Euro-federalists financed by US spy chiefs,’ tracing the covert planning, manipulation, and financing of post-WWII European federalism to top tiers of the American intelligence establishment (which interlocked with key Wall Street investment banks and financial institutions, the major foundations which acted as covert funding mechanisms for these projects, the elite mainstream media which provided disinformation and cover for the endeavor, and entities of the foreign policy establishment such as the Council on Foreign Relations and the Atlantic Council).”

The Luxury Homes That Torture and Your Tax Dollars Built

Posted on by

“James Elmer Mitchell and John Bruce Jessen are not the first Americans to employ  waterboarding and other ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ against our enemies.  But they are almost certainly the only ones to get rich doing it.  They did so by employing what is widely dismissed as ‘voodoo science’ based on misapplied principles in a program that CIA records suggest produced little, if any, intelligence of significant value.  And they might have gotten even richer. The Senate Intelligence Committee report says they secured a contract with the CIA in 2006 valued ‘in excess of $180 million.’  The CIA canceled the deal three years later, but by then the duo had received $81 million.”

CIA Torture Report Now Fast-Tracked, Over Republicans’ Objections

Posted on by

“There’s a new incentive to get the report out soon. Republicans take over the Senate in 2015. Many of them have not been impressed with the Democrats’ findings.  ‘The Senate Intelligence Committee today voted to send a one-sided, partisan report to the CIA and White House for declassification,’ Senate Republicans Marco Rubio and James Risch wrote in April, ‘despite warnings from the State Department and our allies indicating that declassification of this report could endanger the lives of American diplomats and citizens overseas and jeopardize U.S. relations with other countries.'”

Bill to Restrict N.S.A. Spying Blocked By Senate Republicans

Posted on by

“Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked a sweeping overhaul of the once-secret National Security Agency program that collects records of Americans’ phone calls in bulk.  Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, worked hard to defeat the bill, which had the support of the Obama administration and a coalition of technology companies including Apple, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo.  ‘This is the worst possible time to be tying our hands behind our backs,’ Mr. McConnell said before the vote, expressing the concerns of those who argued that the program was a vital tool in the fight against terrorism.”
