J. Michael Springmann, the US Consulate Official who blew the whistle on CIA operatives in his own department skirting the law and allowing dangerous Mujahadeen fighters into the United States (issuing visas in violation of the law), has a new article on the Boston cover-up.
Springmann talking about visas improperly issued in Saudi Arabia, related to the 9/11 hijacker visas:
Keystone XL Protester Faces 1 year in Jail For Speakinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XthAezqn738
Treasonous JUDGES are cooperating with corporations to silence dissenters. The First Amendment guarantee of free speech is being systematically eroded in the service of increasing corporate power and profit. This Keystone XL case is a sign of increased crackdown on environmentalists, who are the targets of increased legal penalties for opposing the fossil fuel industry. The corruption of government is now outlawing free speech by those who seek to stop dangerous, dirty tar sands pipelines and watershed-polluting fracking operations.
“UNPRECEDENTED: [sic] DOJ Caught Spying on the Associated Press
Send Letter to Congress
It’s unprecedented, and it’s outrageous. The Associated Press is reporting that the Department of Justice spied on two months of reporters calls in New York, Hartford, and DC — including their phone line in the press office in the House of Representatives!The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative’s top executive called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into how news organizations gather the news.
Please add your name at right to demand a Congressional investigation of the DOJ’s spying on the Associated Press.
This is part and parcel of an ongoing war on freedom of the press and on whistleblowers — with the Obama administration having prosecuted more whistleblowers than all prior presidents combined.
Intrustions like these create a chilling effect that undermines the press and our democracy — and makes our society less free and open.
The AP’s CEO Gary Pruitt wrote a letter to the DOJ that underscores the obscenity of this spying:
“There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of the telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters. These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP’s newsgathering operations and disclose information about AP’s activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know.”
Enough is enough. Add your name at right to help us put an end to the war on freedom of the press.”
Former FBI Counterterrorism Agent Tim Clemente
“…by which he means not that any communication is susceptible to government interception as it happens (although that is true), but far beyond that: all digital communications — meaning telephone calls, emails, online chats and the like — are automatically recorded and stored and accessible to the government after the fact. To describe that is to define what a ubiquitous, limitless Surveillance State is.”

And yes Proles, the original 1984 is online and in the public domain for you to read right now. Orwell called it, and he remains the most relevant writer of the 20th century. This novel should be the catechism of the next generation who will be living it more and more with daily erosions and affronts and assaults on their liberties and living standards.

A ray of sunshine, Veterans Affairs Journal covered the Daniel Hopsicker revelations about CIA/Graham E. Fuller and Tsarnaev brothers’ uncle Ruslan Tsarni.
Although it is a proven, indisputable fact that the boys’ uncle was married to the daughter of a top CIA official who is a specialist in Islamic extremism and was former CIA station chief in Kabul Afghanistan, this fact cannot be published in any corporate news source — or at least it hasn’t to date. How is it that a little movie blog can write and post for days about this explosive evidence, yet the New York Times can’t find it relevant to the world?
I’m disheartened though because RT / Russia Today has also failed to report this case. I have personally, and repeatedly notified RT of the existence of this information, and yet have seen nothing. Hopsicker’s initial finding is dated April 26. It’s the 30th.
I am truly disturbed this time because even RT and Abby Martin are silenced on this issue so far. This is indicative of something Sibel Edmonds said the other day, and that is that Russia may be making a deal with Washington behind the scenes.
The hypothetical deal is as follows. Washington throws their Chechen terrorists to the wolves: the Russian security services. In exchange Russia abandons Assad in Syria, allowing NATO to launch major military actions and take Syria.
That leaves Sibel Edmonds and a handful of brave whisleblowers and fringe investigators (like me!!!) as the only news sources on the CIA / Boston Marathon bombing connections. I’m afraid not enough people view these sources to make a substantial dent and get the actual truth out to the masses. It’s the 9/11 cover up all over again.
But this time the end game is to ramp up the unaccountable, secretive police state, as we witnessed the show of force in Boston when literally thousands of heavily armed troops and armored personnel carriers flooded the streets and searched homes without warrants. Look for more of that.
And to get more of that, nothing works better than more incidents to sell it with to the public. This is an extremely dangerous time, and with the complete abandonment by the news media, we are in a state of fascist top-down control. Now, already.
If the crimes and abuses of the government cannot be challenged, it is by default a tyranny, a despotic regime.
Watch this news carefully. It is undeniable that Graham Fuller’s daughter married Ruslan, the uncle of the two ALLEGED bombers. Even Graham Fuller has admitted as much. The rest of the story is what the CIA has been doing in Chechnya since 1995, when Ruslan Tsarnaev first set up the “Congress of Chechen International Organizations” from Graham Fuller’s home.
There is no clearer or more desperate example of media censorship today than this news story.
Truthout publishes Glorious Martial Law? Well somebody thinks this stuff is important! Come on, people. Look alert.

Some of us have been hollering about this linear cliff dive to police state totalitarianism for a lot of years. Others play video games all day.
This video is what the police state looks like. It’s unconstitutional. There are no warrants. There is no reasonable suspicion. This is treating the citizens like criminals in their own homes arbitrarily, and if it is not opposed immediately, it is the end of the United States as a republic. Oddsmakers are probably not giving the constitution and democracy much benefit of the doubt in Vegas right now.
Here is what the supreme court said about martial law practices in the past:
“Those great and good men foresaw that troublous times would arise when rulers and people would become restive under restraint, and seek by sharp and decisive measures to accomplish ends deemed just and proper, and that the principles of constitutional liberty would be in peril unless established by irrepealable law. The history of the world had taught them that what was done in the past might be attempted in the future. The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people, equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of its protection all classes of men, at all times {121} and under all circumstances. No doctrine involving more pernicious consequences was ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government. Such a doctrine leads directly to anarchy or despotism, but the theory of necessity on which it is based is false, for the government, within the Constitution, has all the powers granted to it which are necessary to preserve its existence, as has been happily proved by the result of the great effort to throw off its just authority.”
–U.S. Supreme Court, Ex Parte Milligan, 71 U.S. 2 (4 Wall.), (1866)
Those instituting a police state right now should be impeached for treason.

Monitoring the police state.
More unconstitutional fascist / authoritarian / police state crap — what else were you expecting?
Department of Homeland Gestapo and their National Operations Center have leaked a verboten list of words that you should not be associated with on your social media, lest you incur the interest of the secret, unaccountable repression organs of the federal tyranny.
Your beloved Obama presides over this police state abomination, and you mindlessly cheer on his every abuse.
“…retrofitted 2,717 ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ MaxxPro MRAP vehicles for service on the streets of the United States. (source)”
Okay, that’s 2700 IED proof armored vehicles. Plus nearly 2 billion rounds of ammunition. Plus 7000 fully auto assault rifles (you were told those are bad?). Plus Obama gives himself permission to murder Americans on US soil. Plus drones, push button murder of thousands so far in various countries. Plus “indefinite detention.” Plus the “disposition matrix.” And an unbroken record of violating domestic and international laws with impunity (torture anyone?). Well I guess even the most dense coma victim might begin to twitch at this point.
Add lies on every channel on every matter of importance, and an unceasing desire to distract people as much as possible with the trivial.
This video might have seemed “alarmist” perhaps, in a different time and a different place:
