House Defeats NSA Amendment By Mere 15 Votes

Recommend this article
On Wednesday evening, an amendment designed to block the National Security Agency from continuing to collect citizen phone records was defeated in the House of Representatives in a surprisingly narrow vote.
The 205-to-217 vote was far closer than expected and came after a brief but impassioned debate over citizens’ right to privacy and the steps the government must take to protect national security.
The amendment to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2014 proposed:
H.Amdt. 413 (Amash) to H.R. 2397: To end authority for the blanket collection of records under the Patriot Act. It would also bar the NSA and other agencies from using Sections 215 of the Patriot Act to collect records, including telephone call records
The amendment would have limited the NSA to using phone surveillance measures in cases specific to ongoing law enforcement investigations.
The proposed legislation, led by Congressman Justin Amash (R-MI), was pushed forward in the wake of a recently leaked classified court order, revealing the extent to which the NSA seizes citizen phone records and personal information under secret provisions of the Patriot Act. The information, leaked by former-NSA technical contractor Edward Snowden, has prompted serious political discussion over the past few weeks regarding the trade-offs between protecting the Fourth Amendment [Right to Privacy] and protecting U.S. national security.
Those opposed to the amendment argued that its implementation would undoubtedly put our national security at risk:
"You may have heard the expression that in order to find the needle in a haystack, we first need the haystack. This [amendment] takes a leaf blower and blows away the entire haystack," said Rep. Joe Cotton (R-AR)
However, the final vote for the amendment revealed a surprising amount of bipartisan support for a cap on government intervention into citizen’s private lives. 111 Democrats and 94 Republicans voted in favor of the amendment, defying the recommendation of both the White House Administration and Speaker John Boehner, who voted against the amendment.
Though the amendment was defeated, it is unlikely a mere 15 votes will stop House and Senate representatives on both sides of the aisle from pursuing anti-spying legislation. With many Democrats long-opposed to privacy breaches for the sake of national security, and many Republicans growing wary of the Obama Administration’s abuse of power (IRS scandal, Bengazi, etc.), one vote is not going to bring the ‘Right to Privacy’ conversation to a halt.

NSA “Leaker” Snowden to Join KGB Veterans Group

NSA “Leaker” Snowden to Join KGB Veterans Group

Because he’s an American patriot. And nothing says patriotism like trying to join the KGB.
True patriots who defect to an enemy country that has less human rights than the worst state in America don’t let little facts like that get in the way of their patriotism.
And who are we to question the patriotism of a Hanoi John Kerry or an Edward “Kremlin” Snowden?
Edward Snowden has applied to join a group of former Russian intelligence and security officials, according to the group’s director.
Participation in a union of former KGB security, intelligence, and police officials, would likely change Snowden’s status from that of a whistleblower seeking to expose wrongdoing, to an intelligence defector who has changed sides.
Alexei Lobarev, chairman of the group called “Veterans of the Siloviki”—literally “men of power”—told a Russian news outlet on Monday that Snowden, who has been staying in a Moscow airport transit lounge for a month, applied for membership in the group.
Kenneth deGraffenreid, former National Security Council staff intelligence director, said Snowden’s embrace by former KGB officials is a sign the former contractor is being used as a pawn in an international program of “active measures,” political operations aimed at harming the United States.
DeGraffenreid said Snowden, along with Army Pfc. Bradley Manning who was charged with leaking secrets to WikiLeaks, are part of a global anti-American network “that runs from Russia, to China to Iran to Venezuela to WikiLeaks and the European Union – all of whom want to do ill toward the United States.”
Lobarev, head of the former intelligence officers’ group, told Snowden’s lawyer Anatoly Kucherena, a member of the Russian government’s President’s Human Rights Council, in a July 18 letter that Snowden formally sought membership in the group, according to the Russian business publication RBK Daily.
According to the report “veteran siloviki” want to recognize Snowden as a “colleague” who formerly worked in intelligence.
As discussed previously, Anatoly Kucherena is an FSB stooge who supports every type of censorship Putin can think of. The FSB is the successor to the KGB.
Snowden is deep in bed with an enemy intelligence agency. The technical term for that is spy. Or traitor. Or in Paulland, patriot.

Egypt: Arrest Warrants Against Muslim Brotherhood Leaders

Egypt: Arrest Warrants Against Muslim Brotherhood Leaders

Arrest warrants were issued on Wednesday for nine Muslim Brotherhood officials in Egypt, including leader Mohammed Badie, CNN reported, citing Egypt's official news agency.
General prosecutor Hisham Barakat ordered the leaders' arrests for "ordering armed groups to cut off highways and threaten violence in the city of Qalyub, spreading violence and damaging public interest," the MENA news agency reported.
According to Egyptian state media, Badie is charged with incitement to violence.
The warrants come two weeks after Egyptian prosecutors called for the arrest of Badie, perhaps because of recent calls for an "uprising" by the Muslim Brotherhood, following the killings of more than 40 protestors outside the facility where Morsi is being held.
Earlier Wednesday, Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sissi, the head of Egypt's military, called for mass demonstrations Friday to support the country's armed forces.
The call comes in response Muslim Brotherhood calls for mass protests of its own and lingering tensions nationwide spurred by the July 3 military coup that deposed president Mohammed Morsi.
The official Facebook page of Tamarod, the anti-Morsi protest movement, called on its supporters to heed the armed forces' call for protests, according to CNN.
"We call on all the Egyptian people to gather in all the squares next Friday to call for the trial of Mohammed Morsi, support the Egyptian armed forces in the coming war against terrorism and cleansing the land of Egypt. The army and the people will fight terrorism," the statement said.
Dozens of people have reportedly been killed and thousands injured since Morsi’s ouster, some of them in confrontations with authorities and others in clashes with those on the other side of the political spectrum.

Forest Plague

Forest Plague

 
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The discovery of a squirrel that tested positive for  plague prompted the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and U.S.  Forestry Service today to close the Broken Blade, Twisted Arrow and Pima Loops  of the Table Mountain Campground in the Angeles National Forest.

The closures were expected to remain in place for at least seven days.

Campers at the site near Wrightwood were notified.

Health officials said squirrel burrows will be dusted for fleas and more  testing will be done before the area is reopened.

``Plague is a bacterial infection that can be transmitted to humans  through the bites of infected fleas, which is why we close affected campgrounds  and recreational areas as a precaution while preventive measures are taken to  control the flea population,'' according to Dr. Jonathan E. Fielding, the  county's public health director.

``It is important for the pubic to know that  there have only been four cases of human plague in Los Angeles County  residences since 1984, none of which were fatal.''

 

Egypt on the Brink

A call by Egypt’s all-powerful army chief Gen. Abdel Fattah Al Sissi for mass demonstrations on Friday has sparked fears of increasing bloodshed in the divided country.

Already, more than 100 people have died as violence has swept across the country in the wake of the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi earlier this month. And as the interim government plows forward with cabinet appointments and constitutional amendments, fighting continues to rage unabated. At least two bomb attacks have been aimed at security forces since Morsi’s overthrow on July 3 and earlier this week, supporters and opponents of Morsi fought deadly battles in the streets.

"I urge the people to take to the streets this coming Friday to prove their will and give me, the army and police, a mandate to confront possible violence and terrorism," Al Sissi said during his televised address Wednesday, during which he wore dark sunglasses and full military garb.
Some Egyptians support Al Sissi’s call for Friday demonstrations, saying that the Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist sympathizers have repeatedly instigated violence.
But others see the call by Al Sissi as incitement to more trouble and instability.
“Al Sissi is fueling a war,” said Ibrahim Ahmad, a student at the American University in Cairo who has been taking part in the pro-Morsi sit-in near Rabaa mosque in Cairo’s Nasr City. “This is an indication that the army is losing control on the ground. This is not a war against terrorism. This is a war against us.”
Essam El-Erian, deputy chairman of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), the Brotherhood's political wing, vowed Al Sissi’s words would not quell protests demanding the return of democratically elected Islamist president Mohamed Morsi to power. "Your threat will not stop the millions from continuing to gather,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
In early July, The Daily Beast's Mike Giglio was in Tahrir Square to witness the roiling tumult.
With the deteriorating political situation in Egypt, the U.S. Department of Defense announced on Wednesday that President Obama would delay the delivery of F-16 fighter jets to Egypt. Pentagon spokesman George Little told reporters in Washington, D.C. that now is not the appropriate time to deliver fighter jets to the Egyptian army.
In the streets of Cairo, the anxiety was palatable on Wednesday afternoon. Some whispered about a coming curfew, others speculated the army would forcibly clear out the Islamist protest around Rabaa Mosque, and crush the Muslim Brotherhood.
Whatever plans the military might have for Friday, observers cautioned that the likelihood of bloodshed is high.
“This is an indication that the army is losing control on the ground. This is not a war against terrorism. This is a war against us.”
“Al Sissi hopes to give the impression that strong-arm tactics instituted ostensibly to meet rising violence have broad popular support,” Cairo-based analyst Elijah Zarwan told the Daily Beast. “Any violence Friday would underline that point. So long as ‘winner takes all’ remains the operative principle in Egyptian politics, this will not end well."
One young Egyptian man, who asked not to be named in fear of being targeted for his political beliefs, told The Daily Beast that Al Sissi’s speech was a preemptive move to counter any Brotherhood plots.
“The army definitely learned their lesson not to engage in any violence,” he said. “So to call for this now means they have intelligence that the Muslim Brotherhood was going to move things to more violent and escalated actions.”
Many Egyptians who took to the streets on June 30 against the former Islamist president cite terrorism and militancy in the Sinai as evidence of trouble instigated by Morsi-sympathizing Islamist groups. Directly following Al Sissi’s speech, an Egyptian soldier was killed in the Sinai desert, adding to a long list of now daily militant attacks on soldiers and security forces in the restive desert peninsula.
The anti-Morsi group known as Tamarod, which was instrumental in overthrowing the president, voiced its support of the military in a statement on its official Facebook page. "We call on all the Egyptian people to gather in all the squares next Friday to call for the trial of Mohamed Morsi, support the Egyptian armed forces in the coming war against terrorism and cleansing the land of Egypt,” it read.
In response to Al Sissi’s call to protest, the Anti-Coup Alliance, led by the Muslim Brotherhood, released a statement to press on Wednesday, detailing what they said would be 35 demonstrations leaving from mosques around Cairo and Giza governorates following Friday’s noon prayer. The protesters will be marching under the slogan “bringing down the coup.”

Muslim Brotherhood Kills Its Own to Demonize Egyptian Military

Muslim Brotherhood Kills Its Own to Demonize Egyptian Military

by :
New evidence indicates that some of the pro-Morsi protesters reportedly killed by the Egyptian military, after the Muslim Brotherhood president’s ouster, were actually killed by fellow pro-Morsi protesters. They did this, according to the report, to frame the military, incite more Islamist violence and unrest, and garner sympathy from America, which has been extremely critical of the military, especially in the context of the post-Morsi violence.

The Arabic satellite program, Al Dalil,(“The Evidence”) recently showed the evidence, which consisted mostly of video recordings.
One video records events on July 8, during pro-Morsi protests in front of the Republican Guard building in Cairo, where Morsi was being held, and where the bloodshed between the military and Brotherhood began.  The video shows a young man with a shaven head and a Salafi-style beard approaching the Republican Guard barrier; he gets shot, collapses to the ground, and dies—as other protesters fly into a rage against the military.  As the video plays, it seems clear that the military shot him.
However, watching the video in slow motion and in zoom clearly indicates that someone from behind him, from the pro-Morsi throng, shot him.  The whole time he falls, in slow motion, he is still facing the Republican Guard.  Yet when the camera zooms in, the bullet wound and blood are visibly at the back of his head; his front, facing the military even after he falls, does not appear to have a scratch.  Considering that the military was facing him, it seems apparent that a fellow Morsi-supporter shot him from behind.
On the same day this man in the video and others were killed, Muhammad Mahsoub, a former Brotherhood member and politician tweeted the following: “The Brotherhood sacrifice their youth in the streets, even as the sons of their leaders are at the beach resorts… Allah curse the hypocrites [based on a Koran verse];” and “I repeatedly warned al-Baltagi against his plan to antagonize the military in order to implicate it an attack on the protesters, but he insists on his plan…”
Baltagi is a Brotherhood leader who has been especially vocal about “getting back” at the military; he apparently also enjoys close relations with the widely disliked U.S. ambassador to Egypt, Anne Patterson.

By their second term “inside the bubble,” presidents have completely lost touch with reality: Aides and confidants conspire to keep the chief executive insulated from the real world — the bad news, the worse press coverage. They think it’s their job, and lounging on the Oval Office couches, they nod along with the president’s every musing.
But this presidency has taken OOCS to new heights. Mr. Obama has only a few trusted aides, and occasional leaks from the West Wing show a paranoid president suspicious of nearly everyone around him. Supremely confident, convinced by the fawning minions at his feet that he is untouchable, the president dismisses all controversy as partisan attacks by an overzealous opposition. A pliant press corps of stenographers follows in lockstep.
Not surprisingly, every president in the past 60 years has had a major scandal in Term 2: Dwight Eisenhower had the U-2 “incident”; Richard Nixon had Watergate; Ronald Reagan had Iran-Contra; Bill Clinton had Monica (literally); George W. Bush had Katrina (and let’s not forget those WMDs that never turned up); and now, this president has Benghazi.
Make no mistake: Benghazi is a major scandal. Benghazi is a scandal before, during and after the terrorist attack that left four Americas dead, including an ambassador.
For months before, there were warnings about weak security at the U.S. Consulate in Libya; no one paid attention. During the attack, when Americans were begging for help, the White House ignored their pleas, sent no help.
And after? That’s when the Obama scandal falls into the predictable second-term pattern his predecessors all learned the very hard way. Faced with a crisis, the Obama White House panicked. “We can’t have a terrorist strike two months before Election Day, so … let’s not have a terrorist strike two months before Election Day.” Cue the Cover-Up.
So little is known about what happened in BenghaziWhere was the commander in chief that night? No pictures from the Situation Room this time. Why didn’t the Pentagon authorize a quick-response team to swoop in? Members of the military say they were ready — burning — to go. The call came in: Stand down. Let them die. There were dozens of witnesses to the attack that night: Where are they? What do they know? What really happened that night?
And who forced the heavy-handed redactions of those infamous “talking points,” the ones that sent Mr. Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations onto the Sunday talk shows to declare that the attack was just the culmination of a spontaneous protest over an anti-Islam video posted on YouTube?
Carnival barker Jay Carney looked almost ashen Friday as he took the podium to face a suddenly invigorated press corps. Of course, the public briefing came after a private session with “reporters who matter,” a sure sign the White House is in full hunker-down mode — and, more precisely, terrified.
