Dear Abby

Fireworks fly in the second interview with a former State Dept. lackey:

 

Maybe even more fireworks were called for?

Two quick jabs to respond to the Al Qaeda Card:

The 9/11 Hijacker Visas (15 from Saudi Arabia btw)

US government complicity, cover-up and cooperation with the despicable Saudi monarchy — the main sponsor of Al Qaeda — is what makes us less safe.   To this day US CIA is working with Saudi and Qatari agents to send TERRORISTS to Syria to destroy the country and attempt to remove Bashar Assad from power.

As for foreign terrorists entering the United States, Mr. Crowley’s STATE DEPARTMENT, along with its CIA infiltrators at the consulates, should stop issuing them VISAS!  What a novel fucking idea?

 

The Obama Satan Dust Up

I found this quite funny originally, not because of any particular religious kookery on my part, but because on some levels it is quite appropriate to call out Obama’s evil. Even if the intent is completely different, the incident is an opportunity to talk about the realities.

Linn Washington Jr. wrote an article pretty close to what I would have written, had I been bothered:

The Real Obama?

“The evil inherent in Obama’s cavalier brush off of the “collateral damage” on innocents caused by drone assaults — including the killing of children — is what lawyers’ could term as prima facie evidence of evil whether or not one embraces those right-wing extremist labeling Obama the Anti-Christ.”

It’s also an opportunity to call out the History Channel, which has a stained record generally of bias and militarism. Their hit piece on the 9/11 cover-up was telling enough. Dishonest, skewed “history” is the norm there, and nobody should expect anything else. Perhaps this Obama/Satan flap will alert people as to whom is responsible for content there.

 

Your robot overlords nearly here…

 

It’s getting scary to go online each day. The implication for these types of technologies are staggering. See the MAVs for the militarized versions.

The nightmare is real, and you’re probably not going to like the future very much.

 

Yes, every one of these new toys will be put to use against the common rabble (that’s you) and in the service of protecting the powerful.  Citizens are no longer in the same arena, and are outclassed, out-gunned, out-surveilled on every conceivable level.  Welcome to the New World Order.

Justice Department Leaks Memo “Legalizing” Murdering Americans

By David Swanson

Global Research, February 05, 2013

War is a Crime

Here is the memo.  With a few tweaks and a more creative title — like “Murder With Your Hands Clean” — this memo could sell a lot of copies.

And why not?  Either there’s a whistleblower in the Department of So-Called Justice about to be charged with espionage, and NBC is about to face the same persecution as WikiLeaks, or this is one of those “good” leaks that the White House wanted made public in an underhanded manner — perhaps as an imagined boost to morality-challenged CIA director nominee John Brennan who faces his Senate Rejection Hearing on Thursday.

The memo, which is thought to be a summary of a longer one, says the United States can murder a U.S. citizen abroad (abroad but somehow “outside the area of active hostilities” even though killing him or her seems rather active and hostile) if three conditions are met:

“1. an informed, high-level official of the U.S. government has determined that the targeted individual poses an imminent threat of violent attack against the United States;”

The memo goes on to base its claims on the supposed powers of the President, not of some random official.  Who is such an official?  Who decides whether he or she is informed?  What if two of them disagree?  What if he or she disagrees with the President? or the Congress? or the Supreme Court? or the U.S. public? or the United Nations? or the International Criminal Court? What then?  One solution is to redefine the terms so that everyone has to agree.   “Imminent” is defined in this memo to mean nothing at all.  “The United States” clearly means anywhere U.S. troops may be.

“2. capture is infeasible, and the United States continues to monitor whether capture becomes feasible;”

And if a high-level official claims it’s infeasible, who can challenge that?

“3. the operation would be conducted in a manner consistent with applicable law of war principles.”

When a U.S. drone strike killed Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, no one had shown either of them to meet the above qualifications.

When a U.S. drone strike targeted and killed 16-year-old Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, no one had shown him to meet the above qualifications; I don’t think anyone has made such a claim to this day.  And what about his cousin who died for the crime of being with him at the wrong time?

The sociopaths who wrote this memo have “legalized” the drone-killing of Americans with the exception of all the Americans known thus far to have been murdered by our government with the use of drones.

MUST SEE: Dirty Wars (2012)

Documentary DIRTY WARS has been picked up for distribution at Sundance, and explores America’s so-called, and often bogus, “War on Terror.”

  
Investigator Jeremy Scahill travels the world chronicling drone strikes, covert support, training and arming of sides in conflicts throughout Africa and the middle east.

A book of the same name is also available.

 

Drones Already Here

Unmanned copters with live video now a threat globally.  Here is a video of unknown operators actually stalking French police with a quad-copter.  The usefulness of these devices to violate people’s privacy, and even to assist in crimes, has yet to be seen…

There are stories that have enormous consequences on the lives of Americans but are regularly under-reported or misrepresented by the mainstream media. Project Censored, the US media watchdog group, has released their annual report examining the shortcomings of reporting in 2012.
