WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration accidentally revealed the name of the CIA’s top official in Afghanistan in an email to thousands of journalists during the president’s surprise weekend trip to Bagram Air Field.

The officer’s name — identified as “chief of station” in Kabul — was included by U.S. embassy staff on a list of 15 senior American officials who met with President Obama during the Saturday visit. The list was sent to a Washington Post reporter who was representing the news media, who then sent it out to the White House “press pool” list, which contains as many as 6,000 recipients.   Continue reading “White House mistakenly reveals CIA official’s name”

“They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power.”

California killer Elliot Rodger blamed his violent misogyny on a pretty former childhood pal who went on to become his vision of all “mean, cruel and heartless” women.

Rodger became obsessed with the fellow British ex-pat and now-model, who was in seventh grade while he was eighth in the same California private school, according to his chilling manifesto.   Continue reading “The woman the killer blamed his misogyny on”

The Bilderberg Society will be meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark from Wednesday May 29 to Sunday June 1, 2014. David Rothkopf wrote Superclass in which he describes how the Thirty Families and their 6,000 minions run the world or at least America, Great Britain and Europe. Rothkopf used to work for Henry Kissinger. The Bilderberg Society has an annual meeting at which participants discuss an agenda developed for the Thirty Families and delivered to the meeting by the Bilderberg Society Steering Committee. That Steering Committee invites participants and sets the pre-arranged agenda. The agenda is discussed until agreement is reached and the participants take the wishes of the Thirty Families home to implement them. One third of those participants are government officials who represent Presidents, Prime Ministers and Foreign affairs Defense and Treasury Secretaries.   Continue reading “Not Everyone Is Waiting For Bilderberg To Tell Them What To Do.”

A gunman went on a drive by shooting spree on the night of Friday, May 23, 2014 at the University of Santa Barbara campus. These shootings left 7 people dead and another 8 injured. Many media outlets say that the answer to this is gun control; that banning guns, and changing the regulations connected to gun ownership, is the key.  This is also often the focus when it comes to school shootings as well, the gun not the mental health of the gunman.

Two items are of concern when it comes to this idea as the answer to prevention of events such as these.   Continue reading “UC Santa Barbra School Shooting: Mental Health vs. Gun Control”

Last week saw major cabal set-backs in the financial war together with several big moves on the energy front.

On the financial front, former World Bank lawyer Karen Hudes and lawyer Winston Shrout tried to sue the World Bank into returning 1000 tons of gold deposited with it by the government of Japan, according to CIA and Japanese government sources (Ms. Hudes did not answer an e-mail asking for confirmation of this). However, the US Treasury Department, the de facto controllers of the World Bank, refused, saying the gold Japan had deposited with the World Bank was stolen from the dragon family, the sources said.     Continue reading “New energy technology moving ahead even as financial chaos deepens”

The debate around gun violence in America has long been heated (and will likely be even more so after this weekend’s deadly rampage in Isla Vista, Calif. and the multiple shooting deaths in Myrtle Beach, N.C.), but ongoing efforts by new advocacy groups that came out of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings are hoping to change the conversation.

The nonprofits, which include Sandy Hook Promise, Evolve and Everytown for Gun Safety—a coalition funded by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg—have all recently come out with novel campaigns.   Continue reading “New Ads Take On Gun Control Spots aim to hit their mark”

The aftermath of Friday night’s murder spree in California could provide a serious setback for gun prohibitionists now trying to pander Golden State-style laws around the country, including the so-called “universal background check” (UBC) that alleged killer Elliot Rodger passed to purchase three handguns legally at retail, a detail now appearing in Sunday’s updated report in the Seattle Times.   Continue reading “Isla Vista shooting lays bare gun control failures”

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — When Warren Buffett announced in 2006 that he would give away his billions, he was flooded with individual requests for help that still flow in today.

Instead of tossing the letters aside, Buffett packages them up and sends them to his big sister Doris. With the help of seven women, her Sunshine Lady Foundation scrutinizes each request to find people who have come upon bad luck through no fault of their own.    Continue reading “Buffett’s older sister works one-on-one to help”

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) — Europe’s moves to rein in Google — including a court ruling this month ordering the search giant to give people a say in what pops up when someone searches their name — may be seen in Brussels as striking a blow for the little guy.

But across the Atlantic, the idea that users should be able to edit Google search results in the name of privacy is being slammed as weird and difficult to enforce at best and a crackdown on free speech at worst.   Continue reading “Europe’s order to mute Google angers US”

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s hugely popular female pop group AKB48 canceled fan events Monday after a saw-wielding man attacked two members and a staffer, shocking the nation and raising questions over security.

The two group members, Anna Iriyama, 18, and Rina Kawaei, 19, suffered hand and head injuries, and the male staffer who tried to stop the attack Sunday at a fan event in northern Japan had cuts on his hand. All three left the hospital by late Monday.   Continue reading “Japan pop group cancels events after saw attack”

SANTA BARBARA, California (Reuters) – With a California town grieving the deaths of six college students killed by a mentally ill man, one victim’s father on Monday blamed the killings on politicians who failed to tighten gun laws after a mass school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

Richard Martinez, whose son Christopher Michael-Martinez, 20, was gunned down on Friday night in Isla Vista, California, said similar rampages would continue until lawmakers took action on guns.   Continue reading “Father blames government ‘idiots’ as California town mourns killings”
