WEB Notes:There is another article from the WSJ stating “Iran plots revenge” in case of a U.S. strike on Syria. Supposedly the U.S. “intercepted” communications from Iran. What is the point of that article and this one here? To generate a hate within you, to make you want war with Iran. How dare they protect their neighbor who they have a military pact with. Put this in other terms. If other nations were amassing military assets around Israel and threatening an attack against it and the U.S. stated, “we will plot revenge” that would be quiet obvious since the two nations are close “allies.” Use your mind folks. In either case these wars are going to happen whether days or months away, Syria (Isaiah 17:1) and Iran (Daniel 8). Continue reading “Iranian Military Chief: ‘We Will Support Syria To The End’”
The Acxiom Corporation, a marketing technology company that has amassed details on the household makeup, financial means, shopping preferences and leisure pursuits of a majority of adults in the United States, knows that Mr.Scott E. Howe is 45, married with children, the owner of a house in the 2,500-square-foot range, and is interested, among other things, in tennis, domestic travel, cooking, crafts, sweepstakes and contests. Those intimate details, Mr. Howe says, are entirely accurate. Continue reading “What data brokers know about you and how you can opt-out”
“When one door closes, another is opened,” as the saying goes. But Colorado did one better, albeit not very intentionally.
Formerly known as the Fort Lyon Correctional Facility, the 550-acre facility in Bent County, Colorado will now offer supportive housing, health services, substance abuse treatment, counseling and job training for the homeless. From there, it is hoped that participants will be able to transition to independent living — while saving the state money.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has added the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA), an active group of hackers sympathetic to the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad, to its list of wanted criminals.
Though working largely on the periphery for the last few years, the SEA has recently raised its profile considerably after temporarily disabling major media outlets.
Just one week after the SEA disabled The New York Times’ website for a considerable number of hours on August 27, the FBI issued an advisory warning Americans about the SEA and its capabilities. The statement also reported that any US citizen found to be aiding the hackers will be investigated as a terrorist who is actively aiding attacks against US companies.
The memo, dated August 30, was first published by journalist Matthew Keys.
“The Syrian Electronic army, a pro-regime hacker group that emerged during Syrian anti-government protests in 2011, has been compromising high-profile media outlets in an effort to spread pro-regime propaganda,” the advisory stated. “The SEA’s primary capabilities include spearphishing, web defacements, and hijacking social media accounts to spread propaganda.”
While little is known about the SEA, the collective claims it took control of domain servers for the The Times, Twitter, and The Huffington Post last week in its most recent cyber-attack. The SEA also defaced a Marine Corps recruitment website on September 2, posting images of US soldiers holding messages of contempt regarding possible American involvement in Syria.
“The Syrian army should be your ally not your enemy,” a letter on the page read. “Refuse your orders and concentrate on the real reason every soldier joins the military, to defend their homeland. You’re more than welcome to fight alongside our army rather than against it.”
The Marines stated that their webpage had not been infiltrated, although users were in fact redirected to a different site.
The SEA has also claimed responsibility for cyber-attacks on The Washington Post and Thomson Reuters, along with posting false news on the Associated Press’ Twitter feed. As a result of the online attack, the Associated Press – one of the most trusted sources for journalists – falsely reported that US President Obama had been injured in a surprise attack on the White House, causing a brief panic online. The tweet caused the stock market to fall by over 150 points.
The number of arrests made for low-level violations in New York City grew exponentially over the past decade, a result of the so-called “zero tolerance” policy that sought to prevent people from committing future crimes by arresting them preemptively.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has spent much of his final year in office defending the city’s stop-and-frisk policy, which a federal judge ruled was unconstitutional in August. But while he and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly fended off allegations of stop-and-frisk’s inherent racial discrimination, complaints about severe policing have largely stayed out of the headlines.

US Navy destroyers in the Mediterranean are “fully ready” to launch cruise missiles into Syria as part of a US military campaign that would not involve “extraordinary” monetary costs, a top admiral said Thursday.
The sky is no longer the limit for US drone warfare, with secret military research agency DARPA considering a conquest of the seven seas with an underwater drone carrier.
Public advocacy groups and farmers have joined forces to challenge biotech giant Monsanto’s claims on genetically engineered seed patents, and to halt the company’s aggressive lawsuits against anyone whose fields are contaminated by their GMOs.
Applications for gun purchases in Maryland are soaring ahead of the start of a tough new firearms law that sets new magazine capacity limits and bans the sale of certain types of assault weapons.
The Washington Times reported that state police received 85,141 gun-purchase applications this year through Aug. 31. That’s compared with 70,099 applications in all of 2012 and 46,339 applications in 2011. Maryland State Police have increased staffing to cope.

A number of Sen. John McCain’s constituents are not happy with the Arizona Republican’s support of President Barack Obama’s plan to take military action against Syria. Voters made that much perfectly clear when they confronted him at a town hall in Phoenix on Thursday.
The US military has killed, maimed and made homeless well over 20,000,000 people since the Vietnam War.
Very few countries have violated as many humanitarian laws and codes of war on such a large scale, and for such an extended period. The vast political leverage of the United States, the rising indifference of media coverage, and the alleged need of secrecy for matters of national security have largely enabled one of the bloodiest 50 years in human history. Continue reading “Infographic: War Crimes in America”
The position of National Security Adviser acts like a gate keeper to the President. This fact has never been lost on the Trilateral Commission, where Zbigniew Brzezinski was National Security Adviser to President Jimmy Carter in 1976. Brzezinski choreographed Carter‘s every move, even bragging about it years later.
When it comes to national security issues (overseas and domestic), nothing reaches the President’s eyes or ears without being filtered and screened by his Adviser. You can imagine possibility for manipulation if the NSA has a secret agenda to use the President in order to promote goals favorable to the membership of a private organization.

Are American Jews raring to get this war started with Syria? Well a newly-published article at a well-known Jewish media outlet would suggest this indeed is the case. But one small problem. People remember that Israel supporters were among the biggest backers of the war in Iraq, and they’re kind of starting to put 2 and 2 together. So what to do? Well…go ahead and openly advocate for the Syrian war, but, uh…ahem…just don’t say anything about Israel while you’re doing it! The following comes from the JTA: Continue reading “US Jews Back War on Syria but ‘Downplay’ Israel Angle”
Barack Obama appointed eleven members of the Trilateral Commission to top-level and key positions in his administration within his first ten days in office. This represents a very narrow source of international leadership inside the Obama administration, with a core agenda that is not necessarily in support of working people in the United States.
Obama was groomed for the presidency by key members of the Trilateral Commission. Most notably, Zbigniew Brzezinski, co-founder of the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller in 1973, has been Obama’s principal foreign policy adviser. Continue reading “Obama: Trilateral Commission Endgame”
According to the Guardian—which has reported extensively on the NSA’s dragnet surveillance practices revealed by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden—the NSA and its British counterparts the GCHQ have used “covert measures” to control and manipulate international encryption standards to the benefit of the NSA, largely through building “industry relationships” with many technology companies and internet service providers.
