WASHINGTON — The C.I.A. is paying AT&T more than $10 million a year to assist with overseas counterterrorism investigations by exploiting the company’s vast database of phone records, which includes Americans’ international calls, according to government officials.

The cooperation is conducted under a voluntary contract, not under subpoenas or court orders compelling the company to participate, according to the officials. The C.I.A. supplies phone numbers of overseas terrorism suspects, and AT&T searches its database and provides records of calls that may help identify foreign associates, the officials said. The company has a huge archive of data on phone calls, both foreign and domestic, that were handled by its network equipment, not just those of its own customers.   Continue reading “C.I.A.

WASHINGTON – Who, or what, is behind the “purge” of top-level U.S. military officers during the Obama administration, with estimates of the number of senior officers fired during the last five years edging toward 200?

According to Retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely, formerly the deputy commanding general of the Pacific Command, who has served as a Fox News senior military analyst , a good part of the blame belongs to Obama’s close adviser, Valerie Jarrett. Rampant “political correctness” due to her influence, Vallely tells WND, is now permeating the military and negatively affecting everyone from top generals to the ranks of the enlisted.   Continue reading “General blames ‘Night Stalker’ for military purge”

The command’s request called for any interested companies to send information about how they would continue to maintain the sites or develop new ones.   Continue reading “Special operations may add propaganda websites”

A South Dakota mom’s blog post ranting against her sons’ school’s rules against toy guns has gone viral and won her friends and enemies.

Stephenie Metz, 29, says that, despite a society that might frown more and more on toy guns, she’ll always let her sons play with theirs.

An Excellent Comment by Cal.

By voting for either Democrat or Republican you are voting for the destruction of the USA and the American people. There is NO difference. They continue on with the polices of the previous administration and add to them more unconstitutional policies. They are both destroying our legitimate government, willingly and treasonously.

You are supposed to vote your conscience, for the person who would uphold the US Constitution, not follow and vote the party line.   Continue reading “A Democrat or Republican Vote is a Vote for the Destruction of the USA”

The establishment of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks has made “homeland security” a common phrase and a flourishing industry in the United States. Service providers and manufacturers have benefited by introducing devices and offerings to protect, detect, and react to natural and man-made disasters.

We’ve all turned the ignition on our cars only to hear nothing when we expect it to crank. Usually we hitch a ride to the auto parts store and grab a new battery and turn in the old one to eliminate the dreaded core charge which is mandated by our lovely government. Before you turn the battery in, let me offer you an alternative use for those old car batteries.    Continue reading “Restore Old Car Batteries Using Alum”
