The US military has destroyed more than 77,000 metric tons of military equipment – including mine-resistant troop transport vehicles – as it prepares to withdraw from Afghanistan in late 2014, the Washington Post reported today.

More than 7-billion-dollar worth of military equipment is no longer needed, or would be too expensive to ship back to the United States, and much of it is being shredded and sold locally as scrap metal, the Post reported, citing US military officials.   Continue reading “The US military has destroyed more than 7-billion-dollar worth of military equipment before leaving Afghanistan: “This is the largest retrograde mission in history.””

Sixty years ago today, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were legally murdered by the United States government. Today, their children see that horror as a force for good …

Today, the US government asserts that danger from the international terrorist conspiracy and their weapons of mass destruction justifies massive surveillance, indefinite detention and even torture. Authorities say we must guard national secrets even more securely to avoid destruction. Today, the issues raised by the Rosenberg case resonate from the Oval Office of the White House to Bradley Manning, who is being tried under the Espionage Act of 1917, as were Ethel and Julius.   Continue reading “Rosenberg Children Speak of their Parent’s Execution 60 Years Ago”

OKLAHOMA CITY – Talk to any journalist, particularly after they’ve had a few drinks at the bar, and ask them if they are ever nervous or concerned when going up against great power. At first they will probably say “nah, I’m a reporter. I’m just doing my job and they know that.” But if you really press them on the topic – particularly after that third or fourth drink – and they will begin to admit that, yeah, taking on the powerful is a bit stressful and, perhaps, dangerous.   Continue reading “Hastings’ death in fiery car crash is just the latest in a growing list of dead investigative journos”

The scandal over illegal data interception by US security services questions the correlation between the US and international law, and senior Russian officials are calling for an urgent update in Russian legislation in response.

Russia will not ignore the actions of the US authorities who had admitted leaks of personal data of Russian citizens to which the US security services had access, the Foreign Ministry’s plenipotentiary for human rights, Konstantin Dolgov, said at a special meeting initiated by the Upper House of the Russian parliament.   Continue reading “Russia promises legal action over NSA surveillance scandal”

“For secret assassination, either simple or chase, the contrived accident is the most effective technique. When successfully executed, it causes little excitement and is only casually investigated.”   Continue reading “Cars are arguably one of the softest targets when it comes to assassinations and kidnappings”

The Nebraska Information Analysis Center (NIAC) has recently equated picture taking with terrorist activity, something American’s have done and enjoyed for years.

In fact, I remember my Grandfather was fond of cameras, actually both of my Grandfathers were. They had the original type 35mm’s, the one’s with the interchangeable professional style lenses. My mom’s father even had a Cannon, which is the brand I use today. He was quite a photographer.   Continue reading “Nebraska: Picture Taking Now Considered a Terrorist Activity”

A fellow named Steve Knepp came across some agents of the Department of Homeland Security in Philadeplhia that claimed that the 2 billion bullets ordered by his agency was “quite possibly a clerical error.”

The agent told Mr. Knepp that it was absurd that people think that DHS would even have enough money to buy that many bullets all at once. The information that Mr. Knepp had seen, such as the work orders from the DHS that millions have seen, are just a mistake.   Continue reading “DHS Claims Billions of Bullets Purchased Were “Clerical Error””

To add further drama and confusion to the story of Edward Snowden, NSA Spying and Central Intelligence Agency involvement, a passenger on a U.S. bound flight out of Hong Kong Monday claimed that intelligence agents had detained him, were going to kidnap him, take him to a safe house, and that they planned to kill him because of his knowledge about the recently released leaks.

According to witnesses, passenger Daniel M. Perry relayed to other passengers aboard the plane that he was a government worker, a claim that was later confirmed by sources.   Continue reading “Real Life Spy Drama On U.S. Bound Plane: “I’m Dead Already, They’re Gonna Kill Me””

In the 21st century the two hundred year-old propaganda that the American people control their government has been completely shattered.  Both the Bush and Obama regimes have made it unmistakenly clear that the American people don’t even influence, much less control, the government.  As far as Washington is concerned, the people are nothing but chaff in the wind.   Continue reading “Fake WMD “Intelligence” and Orwellian Double-speak : Washington Is Insane”

All over the United States, frustrated homeowners are banding together, arming themselves and patrolling their own streets.  One of the primary reasons this is happening is because police budgets all over the nation are being slashed at a time when violent crime rates in the United States are increasing and many our our largest cities are being transformed into crime-infested war zones.  So instead of waiting for government to come up with a solution, many Americans are taking matters into their own hands.    Continue reading ““This Is A Glock Block” – Frustrated Homeowners All Over America Are Taking Matters Into Their Own Hands”

The US government is a criminal syndicate, openly committing atrocities on a global scale. The rule of law is a memory, buried in the rubble left by the false flag terror attack of 9/11, the manufactured “war on terrorism”, and the monstrosity of the Patriot Act.

 The legacy of the 9/11 crime—the greatest intelligence success in history (not an intelligence “failure”)—is a permanent state of emergency, a criminal military-intelligence-war apparatus (exemplified by the CIA, the NSA) of unimaginable scope and unlimited power, and endless war.   Continue reading “9/11 and the Military-Intelligence-Security Machine: Towards a Permanent State of Emergency in America”

The IRS may insist that you pay you taxes on time or they’ll come after you, but the agency isn’t quite so harsh when it comes to their own. The Treasury Inspector General (IG) for Tax Administration has revealed that in fiscal years 2010 and 2011, not only were there more than 1,000 employees who misused their government charge cards; there were 325 bad checks written by employees to cover their debts, and guess what? In 30 cases examined by the IG as a sample of the group, more than half were given “overly lenient treatment.” The IG’s report stated:    Continue reading “Over 1,000 IRS Workers Misused Govt Charge Cards, 325 Bad Checks Written”
