Wyden Statement at Senate Intelligence Committee’s Open Hearing WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) delivered the following statement prior to questioning senior Intelligence Community officials during the Senate Intelligence Committee’s open hearing. Wyden is a senior member of the Intelligence committee. “The men and women of America’s intelligence agencies are overwhelmingly dedicated professionals and they deserve to have leadership that is trusted by the American people. Unfortunately, that trust has been seriously undermined by senior officials’ reckless reliance on secret interpretations of the law and battered by years of misleading and deceptive statements that senior officials made to the American people. For example, the director of the NSA said publicly that the NSA doesn’t hold data on U.S. citizens. The statement and subsequent questions may be viewed below or here:

Syphilis experiment in Guatemala The United States apologized for an experiment conducted in the 1940s in which U.S. government researchers deliberately infected Guatemalan prison inmates, women and mental patients with syphilis. In the experiment, aimed at testing the then-new drug penicillin, inmates were infected by prostitutes and later treated with the antibiotic. “The sexually transmitted disease inoculation study conducted from 1946-1948 in Guatemala was clearly unethical,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement. “In total, 696 men and women were exposed to the disease and then offered penicillin.

Edward Snowden Tells German TV That US Gov Officials "Want To Kill Me", Full English Version. Edward Snowden in an interview that aired on German television ARD on Jan 26th. Fugitive former NSA contractor Edward Snowden has claimed that US government officials “want to kill me” in an exclusive interview which German television says it conducted in Moscow. “These people, and they are government officials, have said they would love to put a bullet in my head or poison me when I come out of the supermarket, and then watch as I die in the shower,” he told NDR interviewer Hubert Seipel, who said the interview took place last Thursday. Snowden, who was granted temporary asylum in Russia in August, referred in the interview to a report by US website BuzzFeed of explicit threats against him from unnamed Pentagon and National Security Agency (NSA) officials. The former NSA contractor is wanted by US authorities on treason charges for disclosing details of a vast intelligence operation that monitored millions of phone calls and emails across the world.

RFID Tags in New US Notes Explode When You Try to Microwave Them Adapted from a letter sent to Henry Makow Ph.D. Want to share an event with you, that we experienced this evening.. Dave had over $1000 dollars in his back pocket (in his wallet). Believe it or not, it was his 'wallet'. We could have left it at that, but we have also paid attention to the European Union and the 'rfid' tracking devices placed in their money, and the blatant bragging of Walmart and many corporations of using 'rfid' electronics on every marketable item by the year 2005. Dave and I have brainstormed the fact that most items can be 'microwaved' to fry the 'rfid' chip, thus elimination of tracking by our government. So we chose to 'microwave' our cash, over $1000 in twenties in a stack, not spread out on a carasoul. Now we have to take all of our bills to the bank and have them replaced, cause they are now 'burnt'. We will now be wrapping all of our larger bills in foil on a regular basis. What we resent is the fact that the government or a corporation can track our 'cash'.
For investigating private intelligence practices, American journalist faces 105 years in prison Reporters Without Borders is alarmed by the charges currently facing the American investigative journalist, Barrett Brown, who has written for The Guardian and Vanity Fair. Brown, 31, had been investigating before his arrest, in September 2012, the contents of over five million internal emails released through a hack on the private intelligence company, Stratfor, which were later published by WikiLeaks. Brown is currently in federal custody, facing charges that add up to 105 years in prison. His trial should start next September. “Barrett Brown is not a hacker, he is not a criminal” stated Reporters Without Borders General Secretary, Christophe Deloire, “He did not infiltrate any systems, nor did he appear to have the technical expertise to do so. Above all, Barrett was an investigative journalist who was merely doing his professional duty by looking into the Stratfor emails, an affair of public interest. For more information:
21st Century Assassinations More Infographics on Good metanoia-films.org Plutocracy Counter-Intelligence The Power Principle Rise Like Lions Lifting The Veil Psywar Human Resources 7 Insane Conspiracies That Actually Happened The Tuskegee Experiment The Plan: Sometimes referred to as the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, the idea was that the United States government was going to monitor the effects of syphilis and perform experiments on those who had a developed form of the disease. That doesn't sound so bad, right? These men weren't told that they had syphilis and were denied proper treatment for their disease. How did that work out? Doctor 1: "Darn. Doctor 2: "Why is that?" Doctor 1: "Because it involves administering a painful and dangerous spinal tap for no medical reason." Doctor 2: "Hmm ... Doctor 1: "But, wouldn't that be a horrible lie?" Doctor 2: "A horrible what?" When there was a national campaign to use penicillin to stamp out the disease, those in the study were denied access. It took until 1972 for someone to blow the whistle on all of this. Buxtun then found a more receptive audience: The Plan: Some time during the 1970s, the Church of Scientology decided that they'd had enough.
Russians Suspected In 'Uroburos' Digital Espionage Attacks Russian government hackers are suspected of creating a highly-sophisticated piece of malware designed to steal files from nation states’ digital infrastructure. The Uroburos malware, named after an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail that recently appeared in the Broken Sword 5 video game, worked in in peer-to-peer mode, meaning it can move across machines even if they’re not connected to the public Internet. G-Data said Uroburos was “one of the most advanced rootkits we have ever analysed in this environment”. It works on both 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows machines, again pointing to a well-funded effort. It’s likely the Uroburos attacks went undetected for at least three years, as a sample of a rootkit driver was dated back to 2011. “The development of a framework like Uroburos is a huge investment. “The network design is extraordinarily efficient, too; for an incident response team, it is always complicated to deal with peer-to-peer infrastructure.

AEI Needs An Envy Intervention AEI's Arthur Brooks had an opinion piece in the New York Times over the weekend about the downside of inciting envy. By envy, of course, he means people who object to income differences that result from unjust distributive institutions. It was a silly piece, and what follows are some scattered remarks. 1. Arthur Brooks' colleague Andrew Biggs must be miserable. In his quest to wave away soaring economic inequality, Brooks tells us that "social comparison" is destructive and decreases happiness. I am left wondering then why Mr. This might seem like a cheap shot, but I am truly baffled by what the difference here is. 2. Brooks, like other conservatives, is really fond of the fact that Americans are unique in the world in thinking that those who wind up on the top of the economic hierarchy are personally responsible for that. It's understandable why Brooks does not like this. The richer your parents are, the richer you are, all the way up the income distribution. 3.
How to Fight Conspiracies and Win by Gary North by Gary North by Gary North Recently by Gary North: Is Profit Un-Christian? When someone at last discovers that some conspiracy has taken over this or that institution, he gets into a mentality that sees conspiracies everywhere. Anyone who finally accepts the fact that one or more conspiracies have been operating for one or more centuries to control the affairs of his nation, or even the whole world, has a tendency to see everything in terms of conspiracies. He begins to attribute to this or that conspiracy the ability to forecast the future almost perfectly, to control the future almost perfectly, and to thwart all attempts of critics to deflect the conspiracy from its agenda. Over 40 years ago, the man who would later be my father-in-law, R. The gravedigger gives up hope. I recall one man who spent his life clipping newspapers and photocopying items about how conspirators have done this or that. He was not alone. I have adopted a slogan that I believe represents his view.
What you need to know: trends and news in surveillance and technology Please note that by playing this clip YouTube and Google will place a long term cookie on your computer. Here’s a quick run-down of some important, recent stories at the intersection of technology and privacy: Public/private surveillance partnership gone wild. Police in Florida used a cell phone tracking device—most likely a ‘stingray’ IMSI catcher—to spy on a suspect, but didn’t get a warrant before doing so. Why didn’t they get a warrant? Why wait for DHS to spy on you when you can spy on yourself? Civil rights and big data: Houston, we have a (bunch of) problem(s). Gaming the surveillance state. Millions more invested in failed border "security" project. Think you have nothing to hide? You have the right to view and challenge evidence against you...unless you don't. No privacy for ordinary people, but privacy for the spies.
So You Think You're Smarter Than A CIA Agent : Parallels A group of 3,000 ordinary citizens, armed with nothing more than an Internet connection, is often making better forecasts of global events than CIA analysts. Here, a man crosses the CIA logo at its headquarters in Langley, Va. Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images hide caption itoggle caption Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images A group of 3,000 ordinary citizens, armed with nothing more than an Internet connection, is often making better forecasts of global events than CIA analysts. Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images The morning I met Elaine Rich, she was sitting at the kitchen table of her small town home in suburban Maryland trying to estimate refugee flows in Syria. It wasn't the only question she was considering; there were others: Will North Korea launch a new multistage missile before May 10, 2014? Will Russian armed forces enter Kharkiv, Ukraine, by May 10? "I'm just a pharmacist," she said. Rich does make true forecasts; she is curiously good at predicting future world events. Better Than The Pros It is.
