        [VIDEO] - Barry Zwicker - Gulf War 1 Lies - Babies Thrown From Incubators - Wars For Zion
          Canadian television journalist Barry Zwicker outlines the publicly available evidence that the first Bush administration orchestrated an elaborate conspiracy to gain support for the first Gulf War. Iraqi soldiers were reported by alleged eye witnesses to have removed babies from incubators. As it turns out, this was a lie promoted in speeches by George Bush Sr., repeated the false testimony of the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador coached by a Washington public relations company.
        Sexual Violence in Libya, the Middle East and North Africa
          Recently, the International Criminal Court has taken note of the appalling evidence that rape in Libya is widespread and systematically employed. A thorough investigation of this matter is needed to bring perpetrators to justice.
        BBC News - Libya: Clinton condemns rape as weapon of war
          illary Clinton said she was was "deeply concerned" that Muammar Gaddafi's troops were participating in widescale rape in Libya.
          The International Criminal Court says it believes that there were orders given to rape and drugs were provided.
          In other parts of the Middle East and North Africa, Mrs Clinton said, there were even reports of "virginity tests".
          She said that there were reports that governments across the Middle East and North Africa were using sexual violence to punish protesters and said such acts violate "basic human dignity".
          "Rape, physical intimidation, sexual harassment, and even so-called 'virginity tests' have taken place in countries throughout the region," she said in a statement.
        Human Rights Council Report pdf
        Relevant extract
            The commission received, but was unable to verify, individual accounts of rape. It
          notes, however, that sufficient information was received to justify further investigation to
          ascertain the extent of sexual violence, including whether cases were linked to incitement
          by the command of either side. It is evident that reports of rape have had a major
          psychological and social impact and have spread fear among the population. Given the
          allegations that rape was committed as part of a policy to spread such fear, further
          investigation would be warranted.
            The ongoing conflict is having a significant negative impact on the rights of
          children. With regard to the use and recruitment of child soldiers, the commission considers
          that more investigation and research is required, in close cooperation with relevant United
          Nations agencies, notably the United Nations Children's Fund and the Office of the Special
          Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, as well as other
          non-governmental organizations.
            With regard to allegations concerning the conduct of hostilities by the North Atlantic
          Treaty Organization (NATO), the commission is not in a position at this stage to assess the
          veracity of the information received concerning indiscriminate attacks on civilians. The
          commission has not, however, seen evidence to suggest that civilians or civilian objects

      MOT: PL-107-40
        Dear Adam Curry,
        As far as I can tell, a public law is nothing more than "keys to the city." It looks good on paper, but that and 8.95 Canadian dollars will get you a sandwich at the Vancouver airport.
        The key issue is that either something is an ACT or it is not. Granted, in re war, Congress, in a sense, unchains the president in declaring war - but they do not pass an ACT in re war.
        In that PL 107-40 purports to authorize presidential action, pursuant to the WPR, then PL 107-40 authorizes NOTHING, because the war powers resolution authorizes nothing. Either Congress declares war or they do not. Either the president orders or authorizes the military to retaliate against offensive action of another OR the president orders an illegal first-strike.
        What is so outrageous then is that all during the Bush presidency, those Catholic and or wannabe Nazi judges all said that PL 107-40 allowed the president or his designees to declare people like Padilla to be an unperson (unlawful enemy combatant, now called unprivileged belligerent).
        Like I said, read the court cases with Padilla - like when the 4th circuit denied his habeas petition.

      Secretary Clinton Supports Syrian People in Op-Ed
        Finally, the answer to the most important question of all -- what does this mean for Syria's future? -- is increasingly clear: There is no going back.
        Syrians have recognized the violence as a sign of weakness from a regime that rules by coercion, not consent. They have overcome their fears and have shaken the foundations of this authoritarian system.
        Syria is headed toward a new political order -- and the Syrian people should be the ones to shape it. They should insist on accountability, but resist any temptation to exact revenge or reprisals that might split the country, and instead join together to build a democratic, peaceful and tolerant Syria.
        Considering the answers to all these questions, the United States chooses to stand with the Syrian people and their universal rights. We condemn the Assad regime's disregard for the will of its citizens and Iran's insidious interference.
        The United States has already imposed sanctions on senior Syrian officials, including President Assad. We are carefully targeting leaders of the crackdown, not the Syrian people. We welcomed the decisions by the European Union to impose its own sanctions and by the UN Human Rights Council to launch an investigation into abuses. The United States will continue coordinating closely with our partners in the region and around world to increase pressure on and further isolate the Assad regime.

      Hackers might face stiffer sentences in U.S. | Reuters
        "Smoking keyboards are hard to find," said Frank Cilluffo, director of George Washington University's Homeland Security Policy Institute.
        "Anonymity of cyberspace, the lack of being able to do 100 percent attribution makes it difficult from a national security standpoint, obviously, if you don't know who is behind the clickety clack of the keyboard, or even if you do, you don't have 100 percent confidence," he said.
        Under current law, for first-time offenders, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act sets a maximum of 10-year prison sentences for breaking into a U.S. government computer if national security is at stake, a maximum of five years for breaking into a computer in order to steal, and one year for stealing a password to a financial institution or accessing a government computer, for example to deface it.
        Under the White House proposal, the 10-year maximum sentence for potentially endangering national security would become a 20-year maximum, the five-year sentence for computer thefts up to $5,000 would become a 10-year sentence and the one year maximum for accessing a government computer -- either to deface it or download an unimportant file -- could become a three-year sentence.
        At this point, none of the cybersecurity legislation introduced or circulating in Congress have included those tougher sentences.

      Pentagon Bomb Scare: Is the Suspect a Lone-Wolf Terrorist? - ABC News
        An international investigation is under way today to find out whether the Marine Corps Reserve lance corporal who was arrested early Friday morning for carrying suspected bomb making materials near the Pentagon is simply an unstable, misguided young man, or a cold-blooded lone wolf terrorist.
        "We don't know what a lone wolf, al Qaeda-inspired operative looks like. We don't know where they hang out, we don't know really what motivates them," former FBI agent Jack Cloonan said. "So when you don't know that, you've got a talent pool of people that is so huge, it stresses law enforcement. We just don't know what they look like and what they want to do."

      [VIDEO] - Barry Zwicker - Gulf War 1 Lies - Babies Thrown From Incubators - Wars For Zion
        Canadian television journalist Barry Zwicker outlines the publicly available evidence that the first Bush administration orchestrated an elaborate conspiracy to gain support for the first Gulf War.

As it turns out, this was a lie promoted in speeches by George Bush Sr., repeated the false testimony of the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador coached by a Washington public relations company.
      Sexual Violence in Libya, the Middle East and North Africa
        Recently, the International Criminal Court has taken note of the appalling evidence that rape in Libya is widespread and systematically employed. A thorough investigation of this matter is needed to bring perpetrators to justice.
      BBC News - Libya: Clinton condemns rape as weapon of war
        illary Clinton said she was was "deeply concerned" that Muammar Gaddafi's troops were participating in widescale rape in Libya.
        The International Criminal Court says it believes that there were orders given to rape and drugs were provided.
        In other parts of the Middle East and North Africa, Mrs Clinton said, there were even reports of "virginity tests".
        She said that there were reports that governments across the Middle East and North Africa were using sexual violence to punish protesters and said such acts violate "basic human dignity".
        "Rape, physical intimidation, sexual harassment, and even so-called 'virginity tests' have taken place in countries throughout the region," she said in a statement.
      Human Rights Council Report pdf
      Relevant extract
          The commission received, but was unable to verify, individual accounts of rape. It
        notes, however, that sufficient information was received to justify further investigation to
        ascertain the extent of sexual violence, including whether cases were linked to incitement
        by the command of either side. It is evident that reports of rape have had a major
        psychological and social impact and have spread fear among the population. Given the
        allegations that rape was committed as part of a policy to spread such fear, further
        investigation would be warranted.
          The ongoing conflict is having a significant negative impact on the rights of
        children. With regard to the use and recruitment of child soldiers, the commission considers
        that more investigation and research is required, in close cooperation with relevant United
        Nations agencies, notably the United Nations Children's Fund and the Office of the Special
        Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, as well as other
        non-governmental organizations.
          With regard to allegations concerning the conduct of hostilities by the North Atlantic
        Treaty Organization (NATO), the commission is not in a position at this stage to assess the
        veracity of the information received concerning indiscriminate attacks on civilians. The
        commission has not, however, seen evidence to suggest that civilians or civilian objects
        have been

    MOT: PL-107-40
      Dear Adam Curry,
      As far as I can tell, a public law is nothing more than "keys to the city." It looks good on paper, but that and 8.95 Canadian dollars will get you a sandwich at the Vancouver airport.
      The key issue is that either something is an ACT or it is not. Granted, in re war, Congress, in a sense, unchains the president in declaring war - but they do not pass an ACT in re war.
      In that PL 107-40 purports to authorize presidential action, pursuant to the WPR, then PL 107-40 authorizes NOTHING, because the war powers resolution authorizes nothing. Either Congress declares war or they do not. Either the president orders or authorizes the military to retaliate against offensive action of another OR the president orders an illegal first-strike.
      What is so outrageous then is that all during the Bush presidency, those Catholic and or wannabe Nazi judges all said that PL 107-40 allowed the president or his designees to declare people like Padilla to be an unperson (unlawful enemy combatant, now called unprivileged belligerent).
      Like I said, read the court cases with Padilla - like when the 4th circuit denied his habeas petition.
      Love, as always

    Secretary Clinton Supports Syrian People in Op-Ed
      Finally, the answer to the most important question of all -- what does this mean for Syria's future? -- is increasingly clear: There is no going back.
      Syrians have recognized the violence as a sign of weakness from a regime that rules by coercion, not consent. They have overcome their fears and have shaken the foundations of this authoritarian system.
      Syria is headed toward a new political order -- and the Syrian people should be the ones to shape it. They should insist on accountability, but resist any temptation to exact revenge or reprisals that might split the country, and instead join together to build a democratic, peaceful and tolerant Syria.
      Considering the answers to all these questions, the United States chooses to stand with the Syrian people and their universal rights. We condemn the Assad regime's disregard for the will of its citizens and Iran's insidious interference.
      The United States has already imposed sanctions on senior Syrian officials, including President Assad. We are carefully targeting leaders of the crackdown, not the Syrian people. We welcomed the decisions by the European Union to impose its own sanctions and by the UN Human Rights Council to launch an investigation into abuses. The United States will continue coordinating closely with our partners in the region and around world to increase pressure on and further isolate the Assad regime.

    Hackers might face stiffer sentences in U.S. | Reuters
      "Smoking keyboards are hard to find," said Frank Cilluffo, director of George Washington University's Homeland Security Policy Institute.
      "Anonymity of cyberspace, the lack of being able to do 100 percent attribution makes it difficult from a national security standpoint, obviously, if you don't know who is behind the clickety clack of the keyboard, or even if you do, you don't have 100 percent confidence," he said.
      Under current law, for first-time offenders, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act sets a maximum of 10-year prison sentences for breaking into a U.S. government computer if national security is at stake, a maximum of five years for breaking into a computer in order to steal, and one year for stealing a password to a financial institution or accessing a government computer, for example to deface it.
      Under the White House proposal, the 10-year maximum sentence for potentially endangering national security would become a 20-year maximum, the five-year sentence for computer thefts up to $5,000 would become a 10-year sentence and the one year maximum for accessing a government computer -- either to deface it or download an unimportant file -- could become a three-year sentence.
      At this point, none of the cybersecurity legislation introduced or circulating in Congress have included those tougher sentences.

    Pentagon Bomb Scare: Is the Suspect a Lone-Wolf Terrorist? - ABC News
      An international investigation is under way today to find out whether the Marine Corps Reserve lance corporal who was arrested early Friday morning for carrying suspected bomb making materials near the Pentagon is simply an unstable, misguided young man, or a cold-blooded lone wolf terrorist.
      "We don't know what a lone wolf, al Qaeda-inspired operative looks like. We don't know where they hang out, we don't know really what motivates them," former FBI agent Jack Cloonan said. "So when you don't know that, you've got a talent pool of people that is so huge, it stresses law enforcement. We just don't know what they look like and what they want to do."
