In Slain Teenager’s Case, a Long Route to National Attention from nytimes.com: Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old, was fatally shot on Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla. The next day his death was a top story on the Fox-affiliated television station in Orlando, the closest big city to Sanford. Within a week it was being covered by newspapers around the state. But it took several weeks before the rest of the country found out. It was not until mid-March, after word spread on Facebook and Twitter, that the shooting of Trayvon by George Zimmerman, 28, was widely reported by the national news media, highlighting the complex ways that news does and does not travel in the Internet age.
It would also allow the Special Operations forces to expand their presence in regions where they have not operated in large numbers for the past decade, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
While President Obama and his Pentagon’s leadership have increasingly made Special Operations forces their military tool of choice, similar plans in the past have foundered because of opposition from regional commanders and the State Department. The military’s regional combatant commanders have feared a decrease of their authority, and some ambassadors in crisis zones have voiced concerns that commandos may carry out missions that are perceived to tread on a host country’s sovereignty, like the rift in ties with Pakistan after the Bin Laden raid.
company lobbied for ndaa, gets $23m contract for equipment* from the intel hub: According to reports from the Daily Kos and Russia Today, a company specializing in night raid equipment was awarded a 23 million dollar contract from the Department of Defense and subsequently went on to lobby for the NDAA which has given the government the power to indefinitely detain American citizens. Surefire LLC openly lobbied for the House version of the NDAA, a bill many have claimed has effectively ended the Bill of Rights, months after receiving the 23 million dollar contact from the DOD. Why would this company be receiving a contract which could outfit at least 30,000 troops with new and updated night raid equipment when the U.S. is supposedly pulling troops out of Iraq and, to a smaller extent, Afghanistan? Why has this same company gone on to lobby for a bill that has turned the United States into a war zone?

a tale of two stories: european biowar outbreak & the censoring of it by mainstream media from dr. rebecca carley: The biggest story on the planet today is the outbreak of a very serious advanced biological war virus in Europe. The second biggest story on the planet is the suppression of this story for almost two weeks by the corporate owned mainstream news media.
million hit by 'plague worse than swine flu' from express.co.uk: A deadly plague could sweep across Europe, doctors fear, after an outbreak of a virus in Ukraine plunged the country and its neighbours into a state of panic. A cocktail of three flu viruses are reported to have mutated into a single pneumonic plague, which it is believed may be far more dangerous than swine flu. The death toll has reached 189 and more than 1 million people have been infected, most of them in the nine regions of Western Ukraine. President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko has called in the World Health Organisation and a team of nine specialists are carrying out tests in Kiev and Lviv to identify the virus. Samples have been sent to London for analysis. President Yushchenko said: “People are dying. The epidemic is killing doctors. This is absolutely inconceivable in the 21st Century.”
unconfirmed: obama has shares in baxter from fto.co.za: The President of the United States, Barack Obama has shares in Baxter, the company many say is responsible for the h1n1 swine flu pandemic. Back 2005 Barack Obama bought $50,000 worth of stock in two companies. Right after he bought the shares also in 2005, Barack Obama (still a senator at that time) introduced the first comprehensive bill to address the threat of avian influenza pandemic. AVIAN Act (S. 969) Then it makes it even more interesting that over $60 million dollars was awarded for a vaccine against the bird flu (2007) that at the time did not mutate till afterwards. The guy sure knows his planning, I guess that is change you can believe in. From investor to President.
video: bernanke is worried! hr1207 is gaining momentum fast!
from break the matrix: We're almost there! 207 co-sponsors for HR 1207 to Audit the Federal Reserve. Join our call-a-thon to push it over the top and give Bernanke a few sleepless nights. Add your non-compliant representative to our Call-A-Thon list, learn about the Federal Reserve & see who our current target is here.
fed to hire ex-enron lobbyist to counter hr1207 from washington's blog: How is the Fed responding to: (1) a bill in Congress with 190 co-sponsors to audit the Fed - (2) a new law giving the GAO some power to examine the Fed's actions - and (3) calls by many to abolish the Fed altogether? A promise of 100% openness and full disclosure to Congress and the American people? An agreement to stop all behind-the-scenes shenanigans? An end to the whole scam of private bankers "creating" credit and bilking the taxpayers out of trillions in interest? Of course not! Instead, the Fed is . . . launching a new p.r. campaign to show everyone how wonderful Ben and the boys really are. As Bloomberg notes: "The Federal Reserve intends to hire a veteran lobbyist as it seeks to counter skepticism in Congress about the central bank’s growing power over the U.S. financial system, people familiar with the matter said."
bill to audit federal reserve now has 207 co-sponsors from steve watson: At time of writing, a bill that would see the Federal Reserve bank audited for the first time in 59 years has 207 cosponsers in the House and is gaining traction with every single day. This means just 11 more are needed for a majority to be reached in the House. If enacted, HR 1207 will amend title 31 of the United States Code and reform the manner in which the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is audited by the Comptroller General of the United States. In other words, for the first time since 1950, the the independent financial powerhouse that creates and regulates all money in the US will be forced by law to open its books. HR 1207 was sponsored and introduced by Rep. Ron Paul. On February 26, 2009, it was referred to the House Committee on Financial Services, where it remains under consideration. HR 1207 also has a companion bill,S 604: F R Sunshine Act of 2009, in the Senate. This news also dovetails with reports detailing how the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the panel responsible for investigating the use of bailout money, has issued a subpoena to the Federal Reserve, asking them to hand over all documents relating to the takeover of Merrill Lynch by the Bank of America. Claims by New York Attorney-General Andrew Cuomo that former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke strong-armed BofA into buying Merrill, could see the two exposed to prosecution. There is no doubt that the privately owned Federal Reserve is in hot water, and it knows it.
fed would be shut down if it were audited, expert says from cnbc: The Federal Reserve's balance sheet is so out of whack that the central bank would be shut down if subjected to a conventional audit, Jim Grant, editor of Grant's Interest Rate Observer, told CNBC. With $45 billion in capital and $2.1 trillion in assets, the central bank would not withstand the scrutiny normally afforded other institutions, Grant said in a live interview. "If the Fed examiners were set upon the Fed's own documents—unlabeled documents—to pass judgment on the Fed's capacity to survive the difficulties it faces in credit, it would shut this institution down," he said. "The Fed is undercapitalized in a way that Citicorp is undercapitalized." Grant said he would support legislation currently making its way through Congress calling for an audit of the Fed.
and finally, to throw cold water on the whole thing: auditing the fed will not result in positive monetary reforms from rogue government: People are hailing the fact that Ron Paul’s bill to audit the Federal Reserve has now received over 200 co-sponsors. Unfortunately, it really doesn’t matter if this bill gets passed or not. The International Monetary Fund was already pondering the possibility of auditing the Federal Reserve back in 2008 and any audit of this institution will only prompt calls from establishment bootlickers to bring in more international control over the banking system. There are already calls for a global currency and in order to have this, the U.S. Dollar which has previously served as the world’s reserve currency for decades, will need to go away. Simply put, any audit of the Federal Reserve will be used by the banking elite to justify setting policies that will move us closer to the establishment of a global central bank. It will not be used to justify the dissolution of this diabolical money trust and the restoration of a sound free market monetary system... It is true that an investigation into the privately run Federal Reserve is sorely needed considering the obvious lack of transparency and corruption that this institution has been known for throughout its existence. However, an audit of this institution will merely be used by the establishment to increase their control over the global financial system. The establishment will merely utilize the problem–reaction–solution formula that they have used for years to consolidate their power. Obviously the Federal Reserve is a mess but the results of any audit will allow these people to sell the dumb American sheep a phony solution. It is unfortunate to say, but people who believe that Ron Paul’s legislation will result in any real substantive change are gravely mistaken.
obama's hypocrisy for raytheon: #2 at dod worked for military-industrial complex from youtube: Obama has already U-turned on a new policy of not allowing lobbyists in his administration to work with issues they have lobbied on in the past. However, just two days after stating his policy, he is already made an exception to his own rule by allowing William Lynn, a defense lobbyist for Raytheon to become the deputy defense secretary.
video: and you thought bush was bad from sociostudent: I don't see what's so hard to understand about this: Obama is just a front-man for the New World Order, the "brand name" of tyranny for the next 4 to 8 years. He's not the Christ OR the Anti-Christ: He's just an empty suit full of empty promises.
al-zawahiri calls obama 'a house negro' from washington post: Soon after the November election, al-Qaeda's No. 2 leader took stock of America's new president-elect and dismissed him with an insulting epithet. "A house Negro," Ayman al-Zawahiri said. That was just a warm-up. In the weeks since, the terrorist group has unleashed a stream of verbal tirades against Barack Obama, each more venomous than the last. Obama has been called a "hypocrite," a "killer" of innocents, an "enemy of Muslims." He was even blamed for the Israeli military assault on Gaza, which began and ended before he took office. "He kills your brothers and sisters in Gaza mercilessly and without affection," an al-Qaeda spokesman declared in a grainy Internet video this month. The torrent of hateful words is part of what terrorism experts now believe is a deliberate, even desperate, propaganda campaign against a president who appears to have gotten under al-Qaeda's skin. The departure of George W. Bush deprived al-Qaeda of a polarizing American leader who reliably drove recruits and donations to the terrorist group.
obama claims to seek space weapon ban from reuters: President Barack Obama's pledge to seek a worldwide ban on weapons in space marks a dramatic shift in U.S. policy while posing the tricky issue of defining whether a satellite can be a weapon. Moments after Obama's inauguration last week, the White House website was updated to include policy statements on a range of issues, including a pledge to restore U.S. leadership on space issues and seek a worldwide ban on weapons that interfere with military and commercial satellites. It also promised to look at threats to U.S. satellites, contingency plans to keep information flowing from them, and what steps are needed to protect spacecraft against attack. The issue is being closely watched by Lockheed Martin Corp, Boeing Co, Northrop Grumman Corp, the biggest U.S. defense contractors, and other companies involved in military and civilian space contracts. Watchdog groups and even some defense officials welcomed the statement, which echoed Obama's campaign promises, but said it would take time to hammer out a comprehensive new strategy. Enacting a global ban on space weapons could prove even harder.
from jewish daily forward: In a challenge to one of the most powerful lobbying tactics used by the Jewish community, a county in Maryland decided last week that local legislators could no longer go on sponsored trips to Israel.
Montgomery County’s ethics commissiondecided last month that council members are prohibited from traveling at the expense of the local Jewish community, even when funding is indirectly provided by a private foundation. A trip planned months in advance was subsequently canceled.
In an e-mail to a Montgomery County legislator, the ethics commission wrote that “the routing of monies through a lobbyist organization to provide travel services makes the gift unacceptable.” ...
The attention given to lobbying trips to Israel has caused a number of organizations to make a formal separation between their lobbying arm and the branch in charge of sponsoring travel to Israel. Groups such as theAmerican Israel Public Affairs Committeehave founded subsidiary organizations that deal with taking lawmakers, officials and journalists to Israel. As accompanists for trips to Israel, other organizations now have dedicated staffers who are not registered lobbyists.
