The Obama administration, in a new court filing, urged the nation’s surveillance court to throw out a request by civil liberties groups to disclose its secret rulings about the scope and legality of the Patriot Act.

In the filing, embedded below, the Justice Department quotes with approval the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court’s own view of its power, expressed in 2007, that “[t]he FISC is a unique court … [o]ther courts operate primarily in public, with secrecy the exception; the FISC operates primarily in secret, with public access the exception.”   Continue reading “DOJ Says Public Has No Right To Know About The Secret Laws The Feds Use To Spy On Us”

As Congress considers the nomination of James B. Comey to lead the FBI for the next ten years, lawmakers should examine measures to rein in a bureau that has undermined civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorism.

Washington and Israeli Lobby pressure bear full responsibility. At issue is blatant censorship. It’s suppressing truth and full disclosure.

It’s controlling the message. It’s preventing viewers from getting vital news, information and analysis. Press TV features it daily. It provides a vital service.   Continue reading “Controlling the Message: Targeting Press TV”

A month ago, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) was considered by many to be the GOP front runner for president in 2016. Now, even if he secures the nomination, Republicans may very likely support him only half-heartedly like they did moderate Republican Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) in 2008, a sure recipe for losing the presidential election.

Refueling in Cairo has never been this comfortable: go to the gas pump, open the hood, hose mount, take pitch and wait. For a long time taxi driver Ahmed hasn’t found so much pleasure in his work. Today, he could even choose the natural gas dispenser at his favorite gas station not far from Tahrir Square, smiling. And because no one is in the queue and honks, there is even time for a paint cleaning. Ahmed is waving a leather cloth and philosophizes excitedly about the “Second Revolution” and the “people’s coup”, as he calls the events of those days. He turns up the radio: “Oh you my beloved Egypt!” is blaring from the speakers.   Continue reading “Egypt after coup – Suddenly there is electricity and petrol again”

It’s official. The American taxpayers will foot the bill for a $120M memorial to Dwight Eisenhower—a mass murderer with a trail of corruption and intrigue surrounding him that has been suppressed by the controlled-media in America, which fondly recalls the former president as an iconic war hero-turned grandfather figure.

In fact, “Ike’s” entire career was that of being an “available man” whose rise to power was made possible by behind-the-scenes forces that recognized him as a willing asset, eager to do their bidding.   Continue reading “Genocidal General Venerated with $120 Million Memorial”

More disturbing evidence suggests Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is getting critical high-level support from the establishment elite who seem to favorably perceive Paul as distancing himself from his father, retired Representative Ron Paul (R-Texas).

On June 19 The Washington Post—a key voice for the powerful globalist Bilderberg group—featured a front-page story asking “Is Rand Paul going mainstream, or vice versa?”   Continue reading “Powerful Forces Promote Rand Paul”

New studies show that psilocybin removes the trauma and fear from memories in the minds of mice, and even stimulates the growth of a significant amount of new brain cells.

Studies from The University of South Florida indicate that psilocin (or psilocybin, which metabolizes into psilocin), found in “shrooms”, triggers new brain cell growth, and erases frightening memories from mice. Mice trained to fear electric shock when hearing a noise associated with the shock, stopped reacting in fear to the noise when given a small dose of psilocybin, much more quickly, in contrast to mice given no psilocybin. “They simply lost their fear”, exclaimed the co-author of the study, Dr. Juan Sanchez-Ramos, a professor of movement disorders.   Continue reading “Psilocybin Mushrooms Promote Growth of New Brain Cells, Can Even Cure PTSD And Depression”

Games…

We all play them. Every culture has their own favorite types or games. Some people play video games, some people play sports like football, basketball, soccer or even wrestle. Others like games of mental prowess, like cards, or chess. I like puzzles. A puzzle is a mystery unlocked in front of your eyes. Dedication, perseverance and attention to detail combined with a whole lot of tenacity inevitably gets the job done.   Continue reading “The Puzzle of Tyranny”
