A senior CIA official has died in an apparent suicide this week from injuries sustained after jumping off a building in northern Virginia, according to sources close to the CIA.

CIA spokesman Christopher White confirmed the death and said the incident did not take place at CIA headquarters in McLean, Va.

“We can confirm that there was an individual fatally injured at a facility where agency work is done,” White told the Washington Free Beacon. “He was rushed to a local area hospital where he subsequently died. Due to privacy reasons and out of respect for the family, we are not releasing additional information at this time.”   Continue reading “CIA Official Dies in Apparent Suicide”

Mother Jones – by Asawin Suebsaeng

There are currently no plans to screen Captain America: The Winter Soldier at the White House, as far as the film’s directors have heard. But if it makes it to the White House family theater, President Obama would be watching one big-budget, action-packed, and Scarlett Johansson-starring critique of his controversial terror-suspect “kill list.”

This isn’t me reading things into a mainstream comic-book movie. It’s what the directors themselves will tell you.    Continue reading ““Captain America: The Winter Soldier” Is About Obama’s Terror-Suspect Kill List, Say the Film’s Directors”

WEB Notes: The US/Russia game we have been watching is one being played out by the powers that be. A good article discussing that Russia’s banks are controlled by the world banks as well is: “Russia Is Dominated By Global Banks, Too“.

“A document filed within the sealed archives of theVatican library called the Magisterial Privilege gives the Pope the right to kill children in Satanic rituals” stated Kevin Annett in today’s phone interview about an April 7 Brussels court prosecuted by his ITCCS.

“According to the document dated Dec. 25 1967, before each new pope assumed office it was mandatory that they participated in Ninth Circle Satanic Cult rites involving the murder of a newborn child and consumption of their blood. Apparently this is one of the induction rights for any new pope. A copy of this statute has been entered as evidence and is now part of the court record.”   Continue reading “Court considers Vatican document giving Pope the right to kill children”

“The Canadian government has finally admitted to perpetrating the genocide of tens of thousands of native children,” ITCCS’ Kevin Annett said today in a phone interview. “It infuriates me that they’ve kept it secret for so long. I knew this fact 17 years ago when I uncovered statistics of around 50,000 missing native children that I found in the public library.”   Continue reading “Government admits to perpetrating child genocide”

Although the Obama administration claims deportations have hit an all-time high, they’ve actually hit record lows, covered-up by a shell game of phony numbers, said Jessica Vaughan, the Center for Immigration Studies’ director of Policy Studies.

Ms. Vaughan’s report went viral Monday morning about how 68,000 convicted criminals were released by immigration officials last year rather than deported. She revealed the bigger bombshell about phony deportation numbers during her interview on my talk radio show Monday afternoon on The Washington Times Radio Network.   Continue reading “Obama’s Deportation Rate Hits Record Low – NOT Record High!”

Tech Dirt – by Mike Masnick

We’ve been writing quite a bit about the supposedly devastating $40 million, 6,300 page Senate report that exposes the CIA torture program for being useless — and (perhaps more importantly) describing in detail how the CIA lied about it to everyone, including Congress. There’s been something of an ongoing fight about declassifying the document, with the general thinking being that the Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee would likely support declassification, but the Republicans would not. But, as we’d pointed out, despite Intelligence Committee boss Senator Dianne Feinstein’s condemnations of the CIA concerning the report, she still couldn’t must up the courage to admit that what the CIA was doing was “torture.” Instead, it was always the “detention and interrogation program.” But, anyone who’s looked at it knows exactly what it was: a torture program, almost certainly in violation of the Geneva conventions.    Continue reading “Some Senators Finally Willing To Call CIA’s Torture Program ‘Torture’”

Pontiac— Oakland County commissioners asked no questions last March before unanimously approving a cellphone tracking device so powerful it was used by the military to fight terrorists.

Now, though, some privacy advocates question why one of the safest counties in Michigan needs the super-secretive Hailstorm device that is believed to be able to collect large amounts of cellphone data, including the locations of users, by masquerading as a cell tower.

“I don’t like not knowing what it’s capable of,” said county Commissioner Jim Runestad, R-White Lake Township, who has met in recent weeks with sheriff’s officials about his concerns.   Continue reading “Secret military device lets Oakland deputies track cellphones”

At a panel in Toronto recently I was asked whether I thought the United States had become a “surveillance state.” How to answer that question? At first glance it’s an impossibly fuzzy question, the answer to which is relative depending on whether one has in mind life in an 18th century American town, or the Stasi. At the same time, if we can impose some structure on how we approach the question, it is an opportunity to take stock of where we stand—probably a healthy exercise.

Thinking it over, I came up with a five-part test by which we can consider the question:   Continue reading “Have We Become a “Surveillance State”? A Five-Part Test”

“Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience and are left to the common refuge, which God hath provided for all men, against force and violence.” ~ John Locke, 2nd Treatise on Government.   Continue reading “Dear Connecticut Read This and Take Heart!”

You Can't Spell Progressive without an S.S.Canada Free Press – by Tim Dunkin

Sinclair Lewis was wrong—when fascism came to America, it was actually wrapped in a rainbow flag and wearing an ascot.

How else can one describe the ongoing left-wing commitment to the stamping out of free speech, whenever that speech contradicts the gay agenda, as well as other parts of the “progressive” platform? With the resignation of newly-minted Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, the “progressive” Left, especially its social wing, has once again shown itself to be the enforcers a political correctness in speech and thought that ought to be chilling to any person who actually cares about individual liberty.   Continue reading “You Can’t Spell “Progressive” without an “S.S.””

The Global Recording Initiative: Yes, Your Grocery Store is Forcing You Into Agenda 21Canada Free Press – by Gretchen Olson

Agenda 21, the United Nation’s open plan for global sustainability, is widely understood to be voluntary. Critics of the scheme, however, insist the UN is engaging in double-speak, and that this so-called “volunteer” status is actually creating a world government through the interlinking of UN bureaucracies and international corporations.

It is appears now they may be right, this time involving a place most households in the Western world cannot avoid, the grocery store.   Continue reading “The Global Recording Initiative: Yes, Your Grocery Store is Forcing You Into Agenda 21”

US President Barack Obama’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia confirms what many even causal political observers have begun to suspect regarding recent US political history, that Washington’s values aren’t just nonpartisan, driven entirely by special interests permeating both sides of the political aisle, but are altogether non-existent. To understand why requires an understanding of both US-Saudi relations, not just during the Obama administration, but over the past several decades, as well as a basic understanding of Saudi Arabia itself.   Continue reading “Obama, the Sauds, and Bottomless Hypocrisy”
