WATCH: Obama Gets Heckled Over Guantanamo

WHY USE GITMO WHEN YOU HAVE DRONES

For anyone who hasn't seen this yet, start watching at 18 seconds. The Droner-in-Chief is heckled by Code Pink protestor Medea Benjamin about shutting down GITMO during his speech at the National Defense University last Thursday.

Backgammon,

The company I mentioned only did what is referred to Open Source Intelligence. Like any news program/news paper etc, once it was published it became fair game for obvious reasons. In fact, the former company Blackwater, started doing the same thing before it's executive (Mr. Prince) high tailed it over to the UAE (no extradition), but since the facility in Myock N.C. does the same as what I did over a decade ago in OSINT, not much can be done unless small entities are able to expose what is going on.

Another firm, Hill and Knowlton, is a known PR firm that works with intel. (there are many others but they also run shell LLC's etc like those that I have written about, and are notorious for publishing 'propaganda to cover certain asses) about everything from global warming to how nice the banks really are.

The problem is the apathy that exists and how willing others are so easily fooled into accepting what is happening.

Keep an open mind.

What does it say about privateers doing the work of the government? Booz Hamilton is the Carlyle group reps in this affair. Also, isn't it possible that these privateers have highly sensitive archives having to do with all sorts of stuff. Will these cretins use this info to ford away people who are dissenters?

Skinflint gives me a hard time about the helicopters, BUT..... Godfather Politics is not a rag blog and they have an interesting story. During the hearing on the IRS targeting Conservative sites, there was an example of Obama's half brother, Malik Obama running Barack Hussain Obama Foundation and they were not only approved for exempt status in weeks but had their application back dated.

Malik Obama's 'Barack H. Obama Foundation' Raises Questions

www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/09/malik-obama-charity_n_859563.html

May 9, 2011 ... A charity organization founded by President Barack Obama's half brother is raising eyebrows, prompting one watchdog group to file a request ...





Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi was a trustee at the Boston area mosque. He is now one of the key spiritual leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood. His open support for terrorism caused him to be placed on the list of people banned from entering the US. One of Qaradawi’s close allies is Suar Al Dahab, Chairman of the Islamic Da’wa Organization which was established by the terrorist regime of Sudan’s President Omar Al-Bashir.

And who serves at the Executive Secretary of the Islamic Da’wa Organization and who works directly under Dahab? None other than Malik Obama, older half-brother of President Barack Hussein Obama. Malik works for and with known Islamic terrorists along with running the Barack Hussein Obama Foundation which operated illegally as a non-profit organization for 28 months. I also have questioned where the funds raised by the Barack Hussein Obama Foundation are going, considering the fact that Malik works for a terrorist organization in a nation whose government is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States State Department.

So is it any wonder or surprise that President Obama is so Muslim friendly and continues to openly support the radical and extremist Muslim Brotherhood? Considering that there is a direct path from the Boston bombing terrorists to Obama’s brother’s boss, do you still wonder why the White House refrains from using terms like terrorist or radical Muslim or Islamic extremist when referring to the Boston bombings? It might also explain why the White House forced the Pentagon to define the Muslim terrorist shootings at Fort Hood as just a work related incident instead of an act of Muslim terrorism.

Travelling down 15 there were convoys with cars flying flags from other countries just ROLLIN. Couple of weeks ago there were military birds flying all over the place around here starting at the wee hours. Not a peep around hear at all. effed up. Wasn't a plane at all, usually are followed by the fighter jets that shake the house and shalke the windows. Anyway, hope all is well where you are. Stay off the phone.

The average length of a telephone call in the United States is 3:15. Sampled at 8000 cps, that creates an mp3 files under 200 Kbytes in size. Together with the meta-data, let's round it up to an even 200K for simplicity sake. Times 3 billion phone calls per day, times 365 days per year, times 7 years, yields a storage requirement for all those saved phone calls of 1,533,000,000,000,000,000 bytes of data. That is 1.5 Quintillion. If we expand it to every phone call in the whole world for every day for those last 7 years, that comes to 6.2 Quintillion bytes needed. Let's add 20% overhead for indexing and organization, and we get 7.4 Quintillion bytes of data, still just a tiny fraction of the advertised Septillion size of the Utah facility. There is no question the Utah facility has the capability of saving every single phone call made in the world for the last seven years, with lots and lots of room for something else as well. We may presume that this septillion-sized data center is close to being full, because NSA has started construction on an additional center in Maryland.

So what else are they saving on every single human being?

Dr.P... I am AMAZED that Jeremy Scahill hasn't taken a pop at this one. My guess it is so big that he may have been 'asked' not to do it..... However , I did work in open source intel for a time with a private concern as a researcher. Open source is open source and in their words......

Backgammon wrote, "The 4th Amendment requires probable cause and a warrant describing the specific items to be seized. A program which collects data on all Americans is a blatant violation and must not go unpunished." These violations occur with impunity, are ignored by the MSM, and in fact are part and parcel of every so-called Law and Order show on TV or the movies, where the police routinely holler "Search warrant!" while simultaneously kicking people's doors in. Is a person reasonably expected to do nothing when for-all-he-knows-a common-criminal-yelling-search-warrant kicks his door in? Roadside seizure of property with no search warrant by police has also become the norm as well. This is not due process. In Boston, contract security forces- wearing an SS-like Death's Head logo, no less, were seen engaged in "mock terrorism" activity. And we are to believe this was a coincidence? Americans had better wake up fast.

Podcast Show #112: NSA Whistleblower Goes on Record -Reveals New Information & Names Culprits!

[snip]

In this bombshell episode of the Boiling Frogs Post Podcast Show NSA whistleblower Russ Tice joins us to go on record for the first time with new revelations and the names of official culprits involved in the NSA’s illegal practices. Mr. Tice explains in detail how the National Security Agency targets, sucks-in, stores and analyzes illegally obtained content from the masses in the United States. He contradicts officials and the mainstream media on the status of the NSA’s Utah facility, which is already operating and “On-Line.” He reveals the NSA as a Deep State that targets and wiretaps US political candidates for its own purposes. We discuss the latest controversies involving the NSA, PRISM, Edward Snowden, and the spins and lies that are being floated by the US mainstream and pseudo-alternative media. Do NOT miss this revelatory interview.

Like everyone, I am worried about Steve.

I am in Ohio for two months and Gov Kasich is starting to look better to the Ohio voters as Obama continues to lead from behind.

Eric Fingerhut is leaving Battelle to join Hillel. Always nice to have Les Wexner friends.

Have you noticed they are going after Fabrice Tourre? The SEC wants his privates and his first born. Like he was the only Goldman Sachs wrongdoer. WSJ says "The SEC can impose quasi-criminal penalties based on the mere preponderance of evidence". Funny, they haven't used that ruler for the BANKSTAS!

Unemployment is still a record high.
Food cost are rising, Bernanke is still printing money to hold off the crash.
The idiots are selling immigration as a profit center.
Obama has suspended his own Obamacare rules to protect the 2014 elections.
The Middle East is on Fire while we back Morsi, then the Brotherhood, then Morsi and now the Military. Which is NOT a Coup.
The NSA is reading this email, HHS is afraid to admit they can't administer ACA, IRS is targeting religious & TP groups.
Iran is building nukes and Israel is just figuring it out, that they are on their own.
AND
Obama & Holder are worried that Trayvon Martin didn't get a fair trial.

Other than that, I am cool.

BG, I haven t read any obits and the bills are still being paid. I guess everything is OK unless he is sick somewhere, I which case he better keep an eye on his innards. They may try to put him to sleep. Was out to Ohio earlier in the summer. Very beautiful out there. Nice to see so many farms off the grid, the Amish. The folks here are still trying to figure out how to implement the rain tax Md just passed into law. It will cost me plenty to rip out my driveway and rip out my deck, but fuck it, it's the principal. Just put gravel in to the dismay of my wife and neighbors. Did you catch NC article on MERS. Just a wipe out of all those transparently fraudulent mortgages, the kind that Holdem can't figure out, because you know, according to their experts, it's just too fucking difficult. Also keep an eye on the negotiations with the Trans Pacific Lartnership. NAFTA on steroids. Kind of removes local jurisdictions from being able to police themselves in favor of big business. For reference check out Naomi Kleins book Shock Doctrine and read what bechtel did to Bolivia? Damnit. Here of late I have been trying to keep up with the education system, which is about as fucked up as its ever been. The main proem with this, is that it is such a huge corporat concern at this point, that trying to get anything to change about it wil be nigh impossible. Gotta reach em early.0

So....what do we do? Twice we have elected an inexperienced, socialist/communist who wants to spread the wealth, not the jobs.
At least in the Middle East they remember how to fight, and die for their country. Americans are watching Honey Boo Boo and allowing the current administration to control what airlines merge, who succeeds and who fails, and those who have worked 50 years for a better life need to prepare to SHARE those fruits of your labor.

We shouldn't be discussing who will run the Fed, but who will AUDIT the FED. A great platform that did not work so well for Ron Paul.

We petition the Obama administration to:

Ask the American people to reenact 9/11.

According to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center ):

"When the World Trade Center twin towers were completed, the total costs to the Port Authority had reached $900 million", MUCH less than the price paid by the American people for last decade's wars.

Please remind the citizens of the U.S. that they are free to peacefully assemble, to organize themselves, to use available blueprints, dummies, full scale replicas of planes and WTC buildings, in order to reenact, in a remote location, some of the events of September the eleventh, 2001.

Reenacting some of the events of 9/11/2011 will indeed bring change and hope, will boost confidence, credibility and stability, will promote prosperity both in the U.S. and all over the world.

Kind regards,

Ben Franklin

On frontrunning scapegoats selected for their
failings resulting from witchhunt.

On the Rothschilds having only been part
Jewish for a long time.

On why Hitler was famously feminine, JFK's killers were subsantially gay fascists,
on why the gay bashing component of the religious right consistently turns
out being gay or having kids come out, why virtually all murderers of gays and
of straights with children mistaken for gay have proven being gay, and why
those transfering witchhunt are very seriously right candidates for being
gay gene carriers.

The above, however, appears to prove, using all history, all Earth,
morality, history and science are one and the same, which is, the
more one thinks about it, an inevitable end result.

It may be conveyed.

When the rich demagogue replaces democracy and democratic
economic processes with monopoly and privatization, and the
mouthpiece demonizes (witchhunt is simply judging--to control,
enslave, and it exists perfectly, essentially unit by unit, at
the expense of love) so as to make afraid of being demonized
the disapprovers, that conflates sociopathy with morality.

Something about Thomas Jefferson:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=thomas+jefferson+ufo%27s

The trolls for judging, control and slavery are now actively
trying to demonize Jefferson, particularly in terms of being
ostensibly non-Christian, despite the fact that many major
components of U.S. society could not care less Christian
or not.

In fact though, those latest discreditors would deny the
very founding of the U.S. having been purposed on
freedom, equality and love, or the re-stating of morality
in the Declaration of Independence itself.

Thomas Jefferson actually was an active, leading,
generous member of the Anglican Church. What he
did that was unusual was rewrite the Christian BIble
so as to remove pretenses for judging.

I've theorized the "Chinese religion" is the same as
Jefferson's, after a demonstrable date; but for:
whereas the West was admonished from judging,
it did so anyway, whereas China's 56 ethnicities
have never known witchhunt, and China's gays
have never known second class citizenship, let
alone the onslaughth of threatening paranoia,
because they adhered to the advice to not judge.

If someone's trying to prove something, then this
would be the purpose of the Lost Tribe, and proofs
of relation, particularly by way of mitochondrial
match, would be logically surmisable.
