senate bill to turn US into battlefield, vote on #ndaa looms

s.1867 'national defense authorization act' creates police state*
from presstv: American rights activists have slammed the US Senate for gearing up to vote on a bill on Monday that would define the whole of the United States as a 'battlefield' and allow the military to arrest American citizens in their own back yard without charge or trial.

The reactions comes after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said last week thatthe senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president-and every future president - the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world. The power is so broad that even US citizens could be swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even within the United States itself.”

Under the 'worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial' provision of S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which is set to be up for a vote on the Senate floor Monday, the legislation will “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield,” said South Carolina's left-wing Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who supports the bill.

The bill was drafted in secret by Senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.), before being passed in a closed-door committee meeting without any kind of hearing, the ACLU added.

This means Americans could be declared domestic terrorists and thrown in a military brig with no recourse whatsoever.

geopolitiks: 'world pressure mounts' as cairo clashes continue

geopolitiks: 'world pressure mounts' as cairo clashes continuefrom cbs/ap: International criticism of Egypt's military rulers mounted Wednesday as police clashed for a fifth day with protesters demanding the generals relinquish power immediately. A rights group raised the death toll for the wave of violence to at least 38. At least 2,000 protesters have been wounded, mostly from gas inhalation or injuries caused by rubber bullets fired by the army and the police.

jfk assassination: 48th anniversary of an american coup

'lost' jfk assassination tapes on sale
from ap: A long-lost version of the Air Force One recordings made in the immediate aftermath of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, with more than 30 minutes of additional material not in the official version in the government's archives, has been found and is for sale.

new book indicts cia in kennedy assassination
new book indicts cia in kennedy assassinationfrom cisionwire: New York Times number one bestselling author and JFK historian Mark Lane tried the only U.S. court case in which jurors concluded that the CIA plotted the murder of President Kennedy, but there were always missing pieces: How did the CIA control Dallas police and Secret Service agents on the ground in Dealey Plaza? How did federal authorities prevent the Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations from discovering the truth about the complicity of the CIA? Now, Lane tells all in his explosive new book – Last Word: My Indictment of the CIA in the Murder of JFK – with exclusive new interviews, sworn statements and meticulous new research (including interviews with Oliver Stone, Dallas Police deputy sheriffs, Robert K. Tanenbaum, and Secret Service agent Abraham Bolden) Lane finds out first hand exactly what went on the day JFK was assassinated.

'the umbrella man'
from errol morris: For years, I’ve wanted to make a movie about the John F. Kennedy assassination. Not because I thought I could prove that it was a conspiracy, or that I could prove it was a lone gunman, but because I believe that by looking at the assassination, we can learn a lot about the nature of investigation and evidence. Why, after 48 years, are people still quarreling and quibbling about this case? What is it about this case that has led not to a solution, but to the endless proliferation of possible solutions? Years ago, Josiah Thompson, known as Tink, a young, Yale-educated Kierkegaard scholar, quit his day job as a professor of philosophy at Haverford College to write the definitive book on the Zapruder film — “Six Seconds in Dallas.” Tink became a private detective, and came to work with many of the same private investigators I had also worked with in the 1980s. We had so much in common — philosophy, P.I. work and an obsessive interest in the complexities of reality. But we had never met. Last year, I finally got to meet and interview Tink Thompson. I hope his interview can become the first part of an extended series on the Kennedy assassination. This film is but a small segment of my six-hour interview with Tink.

super congress debt committee an unsurprising fail

deficit supercommittee officially admits failure
super congress debt committee an unsurprising failfrom forbes: In a statement released after the bell, the so-called budget deficit Supercommittee officially announced it failed to produce $1.2 trillion in budget cuts over the next decade. Their failure, anticipated by many, led to a substantial market plunge on Monday and will supposedly trigger the automatic sequester proposition, which is designed to enact $1.2 trillion in cuts, evenly split between defense and domestic spending.

destined to fail super committee completely fails
from washington times: For the uninitiated, America is drowning in debt. Barack Obama is piling on debt at an exponential rate while blaming everybody else for refusing to balance the books while he spends America into bankruptcy.

debt committee calls it quits without a deal
from cnn: Well, it's official. The congressional debt committee is so over. To no one's surprise, the bipartisan panel called it quits on Monday without reaching any agreement on debt reduction, let alone the $4 trillion "grand bargain" that budget experts say is needed at a minimum to get a handle on the country's long-term fiscal problems... The hope, of course, was that the super committee -- given extraordinary and unprecedented powers -- would tackle the tough problems facing the country's budget, such as rising health costs and an unwieldy tax code no one likes.

epic failure: the supercommittee was a super joke*

nypd says fbi declined to pursue 'lone wolf' nyc bomb plot

nypd says fbi declined to pursue 'lone wolf' nyc bomb plotfrom ap: U.S. authorities declined to pursue a case against an "al-Qaida sympathizer" accused of plotting to bomb police stations and post offices in the New York area because they believed he was mentally unstable and incapable of pulling it off, two law enforcement officials said Monday. New York Police Department investigators sought to get the FBI involved at least twice as their undercover investigation of Jose Pimentel unfolded, the officials said. Both times, the FBI concluded that he wasn't a serious threat, they said. The FBI concluded that the 27-year-old Pimentel "didn't have the predisposition or the ability to do anything on his own," one of the officials said.

notes on new mexico & scenes from an airport

notes on new mexico & scenes from an airport"there's a new mexico?" as many of you know, we went 'off the grid' last week. although we did discover some wi-fi by the second day, i still stuck to my 'internet fast' for the most part. but i took notes on some of the interesting things that happened while visiting family in taos, here are some highlights:

- we saw shirley maclaine at the santa fe airport, she was wearing a big jacket that said 'ghetto blaster' on the back

- there's a pretty cool radio station called ktao 101.9fm (it's solar powered!); and i was listening for the emergency alert system test to happen, but they didn't participate. (here's what the test looked like elsewhere) and apparently, they weren't alone: 'emergency drill fails in new mexico'

- meanwhile, they're working on something called the 'taos regional command communications center'. brought to you by homeland security & the local 'power' company kit carson, it basically looks to be a consolidation of emergency, power & communication services. and, of course: "this system will also be responsible for monitoring cyber security tied to smart grid and green grid systems."

- our plane out of santa fe was delayed, which made us miss our connection at lax... yesterday, i saw this article about the airline we used: 'dept. of transportation issues first fine against airline for tarmac delay'

- i hope keane made a lot of money licensing "everybody's changing" to alaska airlines, but damn i used to really like that song...

- the council on foreign relations magazine, foreign affairs, was prominently displayed on sale at the newport news store in the los angeles international airport.

- i had my first chance to opt-out of the radioactive naked body scanners at lax; instead, i got felt up by a very nice gentlemen who didn't even tell me his name. it was around this point that i remembered it was veteran's day & that's why it was so crowded... we were reminded once again that it was a holiday by the fine folks at heinz ketchup.

i also drove a car for the first time in a decade, saw petroglyphs & more that i'll mention on the upcoming episode239... thanks for indulging me, james
