intel agency workers downloaded child porn on govt networks

"the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists & will persist"
intel agency workers downloaded child porn on govt networksfrom boston globe: Federal investigators have identified several dozen Pentagon officials and contractors with high-level security clearances who allegedly purchased and downloaded child pornography, including an undisclosed number who used their government computers to obtain the illegal material, according to investigative reports. The investigations have included employees of the National Security Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - which deal with some of the most sensitive work in intelligence and defense - among other organizations within the Defense Department.

'largest intel leak in history': wikileaks drops 'afghan war diaries'

'largest intel leak in history': wikileaks drops 'afghan war diaries'from ap: Some 90,000 leaked U.S. military records posted online Sunday amount to a blow-by-blow account of six years of the Afghanistan war, including unreported incidents of Afghan civilian killings as well as covert operations against Taliban figures.

The online whistle-blower WikiLeaks posted the documents on its website Sunday. The New York Times, London's Guardian newspaper and the German weekly Der Spiegel were given early access to the documents.

The White House condemned the document disclosure, saying it "put the lives of Americans and our partners at risk."

The leaked records include detailed descriptions of raids carried out by a secretive U.S. special operations unit called Task Force 373 against what U.S. officials considered high-value insurgent and terrorist targets. Some of the raids resulted in unintended killings of Afghan civilians, according to the documentation...

According to the Times, the documents suggest Pakistan "allows representatives of its spy service to meet directly with the Taliban in secret strategy sessions to organize networks of militant groups that fight against American soldiers in Afghanistan, and even hatch plots to assassinate Afghan leaders."

The Guardian, however, interpreted the documents differently, saying they "fail to provide a convincing smoking gun" for complicity between the Pakistan intelligence services and the Taliban.

ground zero: no rushin' to the moon

please donate to zero point radio & ground zero media!
ground zero: no rushin' to the moonfrom clyde lewis: I always shake my head and wonder why people don’t see the fraud for what it is. I was once told that we didn’t land on the moon and I said that was just a lie and that we did go. My heart wants to believe in these romanticized fantasies cooked up in government think tanks. Now I can see there really is no reason to be rushing to the moon now. We have some cooked-up hoax of climate change to contend with. It is just another boondoggle to feed money into a costly war machine. When I complain about the budget cutting for the moon projects people who are big Obama supporters say “Been there done that.” I know better. We have been nowhere and have done nothing.

netanyahu admits on video he deceived US to destroy oslo accordfrom the national: The contents of a secretly recorded video threaten to gravely embarrass not only Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister but also the US administration of Barack Obama. The film was shot, apparently without Mr Netanyahu’s knowledge, nine years ago, when the government of Ariel Sharon had started reinvading the main cities of the West Bank to crush Palestinian resistance in the early stages of the second intifada.

oakland marijuana law passes; 'pot factories' coming to bay area

video: oakland approves marijuana farms
oakland marijuana law passes; 'pot factories' coming to bay areafrom sfweekly: The Oakland City Council last night approved an ordinance allowing industrial-scale marijuana-growing operations to set up shop in town, supplying the city's medical pot dispensaries. The measure is expected, by some estimates, to generate up to $2 million in tax revenue for the cash-strapped city. Yet not everyone is celebrating. Only one council member, Nancy Nadel, voted against the ordinance. Two abstained.

In a curious dynamic that has been playing out since Oakland first began mulling whether to allow "pot factories" within city limits, a number of small-time growers strongly opposed the measure, arguing it would drive down the price of weed - don't get too excited, folks; permits for the large-scale operations won't be issued until January - and dilute its quality.

econocrash updates: competing currencies & scary graphs

video: competing currency being accepted in michigan
from connect mid-michigan: New types of money are popping up across Mid-Michigan and supporters say, it's not counterfeit, but rather a competing currency. Right now, you can buy a meal or visit a chiropractor without using actual U.S. legal tender. They sound like real money and look like real money. But you can't take them to the bank because they're not made at a government mint. They're made at private mints. "I sell three or four every single day and then I get one or two back a week," said Dave Gillie, owner of Gillies Coney Island Restaurant in Genesee Township. Gillie also accepts silver, gold, copper and other precious metals to pay for food. He says, if he wanted to, he could accept marbles. "Do people have to accept dollars or money? No, they don't," Gillie said. "They can accept anything they want or they can refuse to accept anything." He's absolutely right. The U.S. Treasury Department says the Coinage Act of 1965 says "private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash, unless there is a state law which says otherwise."

obama admin worse on whistleblowers than previous puppet admin

obama admin worse on whistleblowers than previous puppet adminfrom allgov: The Obama administration is being accused of getting away with crackdowns on government whistleblowers that President George W. Bush would have been publicly admonished for. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has allegedly gone after an ICE agent who told the media in March about new quotas for immigration arrests. In another example, the Department of Defense is restricting media access to military officers following General Stanley McChrystal’s comments to Rolling Stone magazine, and the Pentagon has gone after an Army intelligence officer who leaked a controversial video of a U.S. air strike in Iraq. “Some of these prosecutions wouldn’t have happened when [George W.] Bush was president, because there would have been a more partisan backlash,” Stephen Kohn, executive director of the National Whistleblowers Center, told The Washington Post. “The problem when you have a Democratic president—it’s not like Obama is signing the indictment—but it mutes the criticism.”

wooden ship from 1700s found at wtc ground zero

wooden ship from 1700s found at wtc ground zerofrom skynews: Archaeologists working at the World Trade Centre site in New York have found the remains of a wooden ship apparently buried there more than 200 years ago.

The remains of the 30ft length of a wood-hulled vessel were found when workers excavating the site, where a new World Trade Centre is being built, hit a row of wood timbers, The New York Times reported.

"They were so perfectly contoured that they were clearly part of a ship," said archaeologist A. Michael Pappalardo. The archaeologists have been working on the site - scene of the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001 - to document historical material uncovered during construction. They estimated that the vessel could date from the mid to late 1700s.

a hidden world, growing beyond control

a hidden world, growing beyond controlfrom washington post: Top Secret America” is a project nearly two years in the making that describes the huge national security buildup in the United States after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

When it comes to national security, all too often no expense is spared and few questions are asked – with the result an enterprise so massive that nobody in government has a full understanding of it. It is, as Dana Priest and William M. Arkin have found, ubiquitous, often inefficient and mostly invisible to the people it is meant to protect and who fund it.

ground zero: science fiction & spiritual poverty

please donate to zero point radio & ground zero media!
ground zero: science fiction & spiritual povertyfrom clyde lewis: In my history as a Talk show host I have interviewed scores of individuals who are authors in the sphere of Science Fiction. I have related my views on the idea that many people see science fiction as a great way to escape. I see it as an clandestine way to supplant religious thought with a new spirituality. It is a spirituality that has been highly favored by the cryptocracy and a way to acclimate society to the desired futures proposed by the elite. Now I am not saying that all science fiction has some sort of nefarious purpose, but what I am saying is that selected tales that have been embraced by the masses may very well become the new religious movements of the future if not in the present.

most of US want afghanistan pullout deadline; congress says no

most of US want afghanistan pullout deadline; congress says nofrom allgov: A strong majority of Americans believe the war in Afghanistan is going badly and want Washington to establish a timetable for bringing home U.S forces. But despite negative opinions about the war among voters, Congress continues to oppose setting any limits on when the U.S. should pull out of the conflict.

A new CBS News poll found 62% of Americans are unhappy about the war, up from 49% in May. Only 23% say they are willing to have troops remain in Afghanistan for one or two more years, and 54% think leaders should start a countdown for withdrawing U.S. soldiers. Forty-four percent disapprove of President Barack Obama’s handling of the war, while 43% approve it.

Prosecutors alleged that a group of officials in the military police unit had organized a drug trafficking ring with the aim of getting rich. Ganzer was among 14 people convicted in the case, while four were acquitted. In addition to jail time, Ganzer was fined euro65,000 ($82,000).

missing iranian nuclear scientist turns up at pak embassy in US

missing iranian nuclear scientist turns up at pak embassy in USfrom guardian: An Iranian nuclear scientist who was missing for over a year amid claims that he had been abducted by the CIA surfaced today at the Pakistani embassy in Washington, apparently asking to be returned home.

Iran accused Saudi Arabia of handing over Shahram Amiri to the US after he disappeared during a pilgrimage a year ago. A man purporting to be Amiri subsequently appeared in a series of internet videos, some saying he was hiding from US agents.

Today Amiri was quoted by Iranian official media as claiming that the US government had intended to return him to Iran to cover up his kidnapping in Saudi Arabia.


"Following the release of my interview in the internet which brought disgrace to the US government for this abduction, they wanted to send me back quietly to Iran by another country's airline," he told state radio from the Iranian interests office in Washington. "Doing so, they wanted to deny the main story and cover up this abduction. However, they finally failed."

roman polanski set free after swiss reject US extradition request

flashback: interview w/ peter levenda on polanski
roman polanski set free after swiss reject US extradition requestfrom ap: The Swiss government declared renowned film director Roman Polanski a free man on Monday after rejecting a U.S. request to extradite him on a charge of having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl.

The Swiss mostly blamed U.S. authorities for failing to provide confidential testimony about Polanski's sentencing procedure in 1977-1978.

The stunning decision could end the United States' three-decade pursuit of Polanski, unless he travels to another country that would be willing to apprehend him and weigh sending him to Los Angeles. France, where he has spent much of his time, does not extradite its own citizens, and the public scrutiny over Switzerland's deliberations may dissuade other nations from making such a spectacular arrest.

The Swiss government said it had sought confidential testimony given on Jan. 26 by Roger Gunson, the Los Angeles attorney in charge of the original prosecution against Polanski. Washington rejected the request. "Mr. Polanski can now move freely. Since 12:30 today he's a free man," Justice Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf declared.
