      Adam Curry's Simple Weblog: Clintons and the 1% party like its 1999
        Almost 6 weeks later than the legal deadline required for non-profit organizations, the Clinton Foundation finally released its IRS for 990 documents to the public yesterday. #
      Wyclef Jean defends Haiti charity's actions - Haiti - MiamiHerald.com
        "The Post never highlights that Amisphere Farm Labor was responsible for preparing and delivering close to 100,000 meals,'' Jean says. This is not the first time Jean's charity has been scrutinized for its finances, or spending. Immediately after the quake, the charity faced a whirlwind of controversy.
      Wyclef Jean squandered Haitian relief funds
        Less than a third of the $16 million gathered in 2010 by hip-hop star Wyclef Jean for earthquake relief in Haiti actually made it to emergency efforts in the country, the New York Post reported on Sunday. According to the exclusive report, Jean's charity, Yele Haiti, doled out millions in questionable contracts -- in fact, $1 million was paid to a Florida firm that doesn't seem to exist. The Post also reported that a company called P&A Construction -- which is run by Warnel Pierre, Jean's brother-in-law -- received $353,983 from the group.
      Digicel Group to Build 173-room Marriott in Port-au-Prince Hotel | Hospitality Business News
        The Clinton Foundation has worked closely with Marriott and Digicel to develop this project. The Foundation connected Marriott and Digicel knowing their mutual interests in the hotel sector, visited proposed construction sites with the parties and facilitated introductions to the Haitian government and the Haitian Tourism Association.
        "This new hotel project will stand as a symbol of Haiti's recovery, providing much needed jobs to the Haitian people and encouraging foreigners to visit, invest and work in Port-au-Prince," said President Clinton. "My Foundation has worked with both Marriott and Digicel, and encouraged them to form this partnership. Their investment proves that Haiti is open for business and on the path to economic recovery."

      News1130:Local Dutch Christmas tradition cancelled
        NEW WESTMINSTER (NEWS1130) - The Sinterklaas celebration at the New Westminster Quay has been cancelled. The Dutch Christmas festival came under fire this year when people complained St. Nick's helper "Black Peter" was offensive. The character wears blackface, which had some people complaining about racism. Organizers reached out to the black community last week and agreed to pull Black Peter from the celebration. They say it's a great loss and they're saddened by the events of the past few weeks. People on the Sinterklaas Facebook page are saddened as well. Most of them say the controversy "is ridiculous". The Sinterklaas celebration has happened every year since 1985.

      Drones cleared for domestic use across the US -- RT
        So far the FAA has issued 266 testing permits to allow for civilian drones in the United States, but the Times reports that the aircraft aren't flying in large numbers yet, as the agency says that the crafts do not have the proper technology to keep them from crashing into each other as they start to soar in growing numbers. Small drones are being manufactured in the thousands, however, and AeroVironment Inc. has created a drone helicopter for police monitoring and intends on sending 18,000 of them to law enforcement agencies once the crafts have clearance. Those drones, reports the Times, weigh barely five pounds and could be controlled by a tablet computer.
      Second X-47B UAV Flies | Defense Tech

      Idea of civilians using drone aircraft may soon fly with FAA - latimes.com
        The Federal Aviation Administration plans to propose new rules for the use of small drones in January, a first step toward clearing the way for police departments, farmers and others to employ the technology.
    Syria
      Bomb voyage: 600 Libyans 'already fighting in Syria' - BlackListedNews.com
        The Libyan government apparently wants to share its successful experience of overthrowing the Gaddafi regime with like-minded Syrians. It has sent 600 of its troops to support local militants against the Assad regime, according to media reports. The fighters have joined the Free Syria Army, the militant group carrying out attacks on government forces in Syria, reports the Egyptian news website Al-Ray Al-Arabi citing its sources. The report says the troops entered Syria through Turkish territory. The alleged incursion happened with the consent of the chairman of the Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) Mustafa Abdul Jalil. The NTC allegedly welcomed volunteers to join the surge.
      'Western media outlets lie about Syria'
        A senior Turkish lawmaker says Western media outlets are not reflecting the reality in Syria and the West is playing a game in the Arab country, Press TV reports. MP Birgul Ayman Guler, the deputy chairperson of Turkey's main opposition party, the Republican People's Party (CHP), who visited Syria about one month ago as part of a Turkish delegation comprised of 38 women, said on Tuesday that the reality in Syria is different from what Western media outlets are reporting. In an exclusive interview with Press TV's Ankara correspondent, Guler stated, "What we understood during the visit was that the Western media were lying about the situation in Syria." "We were told [by the Western media] that there was bloodshed underway by the administration of [Syrian President Bashar] al-Assad, but we did not see any violence in Syria," she added. Guler visited the cities of Alepo, Damascus, and Latakia during her four-day trip to Syria. She said that fighting was reported only in Hama and Homs, where Syrian government forces were engaged in clashes with groups that had launched attacks on government forces and civilians. "When we returned to Turkey, we shared the realities with the Turkish people, the media, and the international community," the Turkish MP stated. Guler added that foreign elements, such as the United States and the European Union, are trying to implement a plot in Syria.

      Urban Dictionary Secret Squirrel
        A cue from an old cartoon show that was a parody of the spy genre; one of the characters was a squirrel spy. Originally meant to refer to someone working in covert operations or intelligence (undercover police, CIA, military intelligence, etc). It is now often used to refer to people who claim to have worked in the intelligence community in online forums and in person out of context with questionable veracity - ie potential/real poseurs/frauds. Forum poster X - " I worked in intelligence for 5 years and served in special operations but my service history is completely classified." Forum poster Y -" Oh great, another secret squirrel."

      Palantir, the War on Terror's Secret Weapon - BusinessWeek
        As the CIA analyst starts poking around on Fikri's file inside of Palantir, a story emerges. A mouse click shows that Fikri has wired money to the people he had been calling in Syria. Another click brings up CIA field reports on the Syrians and reveals they have been under investigation for suspicious behavior and meeting together every day over the past two weeks. Click: The Syrians bought plane tickets to Miami one day after receiving the money from Fikri. To aid even the dullest analyst, the software brings up a map that has a pulsing red light tracing the flow of money from Cairo and Syria to Fikri's Miami condo. That provides local cops with the last piece of information they need to move in on their prey before he strikes.

      CIA party's no posh affair - In the Loop - The Washington Post
        First Justice and the FBI. Now even the spooks at Langley are cutting back. Reporters got the bad news Tuesday on CIA Director David Petraeus's first holiday reception. "I regret to advise that your invitation is not, in fact, lost in the mail," the e-mail said. "Reflecting the constrained and possibly worsening fiscal climate, this year's event has been greatly scaled back." However, the agency's public affairs office will be hosting an off-the-record cocktail reception in January. There'll be hors d'oeuvres’Äîbut "because of governmental belt-tightening," it's a cash bar for alcohol: "(we promise at prices well below that of a beer on an airplane)."
      Dan Rather Says 'Big Money Owns Everything ... Including the News' - Truthdig
        Of course freedom of the press and of speech both come with pitfalls. People can peddle opinions as if they were facts. Those armed with the big, expensive megaphones drown out those blowing whistles.
        But now, we see our fellow citizens taking to the streets. And, that my friends, is our cue to get back to work. As the People of our nation begin rising up, they expect the business of news to be about inquiry and accountability.
        And, luckily for us, we can still do that ... but it may not be within the confines of big corporate media. As you know, we are living in an age when big money owns everything ... including the news.
      GeenStijl : CEO verslavingskliniek stijf van dope op KLM-vlucht
        Hoe heet dit ook alweer? Oh ja: ironie. De man die afgelopen vrijdag tijdens een KLM-vlucht van Zuid-Afrika naar Amsterdam zwaar onder de dope het vliegtuig op zijn kop zette en naderhand werd gearresteerd blijkt een gerenommeerde verslavingskliniek te runnen. Bas de Bont van Addiction Care in Veldhoven was tijdens de 12-urige vlucht zo erg onder de invloed van alcohol en medicijnen dat hij op 30.000 ft. probeerde de nooddeuren te openen. Dan ben je ver heen hoor. Ook probeerde hij de cockpit binnen te dringen, was hij zeer agressief richting de stewardessen en viel hij zijn medepassagiers lastig.

      Senate defies threat of veto in terrorist custody vote S1860
        Defying a veto threat by President Obama, the Senate voted Tuesday to give the U.S. military first crack at holding al Qaeda operatives, even if they are captured in the U.S. and are American citizens, and also reaffirmed the policy of indefinite detention. "We're no longer going to have an absurd result that if we capture you overseas where you're planning an attack on the United States, we can blow you up or put you in a military prison indefinitely, but if you make it to America, all of a sudden you get Miranda rights and you go to federal court," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who has fought the Bush and Obama administrations on treatment of suspected terrorist detainees. Tuesday's 61-37 vote to buck Mr. Obama and grant the military dibs exposed a deep rift within the Democratic Party. Sixteen Democrats and one independent who caucuses with them defied the veto threat and joined 44 Republicans.
      Defense bill offers balance in dealing with detainees - The Washington Post
        The United States has struggled to craft laws and procedures to prosecute the unprecedented kind of war that came to our shores on Sept. 11, 2001. The courts, Congress and two presidential administrations have gradually, often ad hoc, developed a system that seeks to uphold our values and honors our Constitution while protecting national security. Congress -- in particular, the Senate Armed Services Committee -- has worked hard to establish in law this important balance rather than rely solely on court orders and executive orders that can change with administrations.

        Today's Presidential Memorandum initiates a comprehensive assessment of agency systems for collecting, maintaining, and preserving the records that document the operation of our democracy.¬Ý Specifically, it calls for reports within the next 120 days, by each agency head, describing current plans for improving records management programs; outlining current obstacles to sound, cost-effective records management policies; and cataloguing potential reforms and improvements. The agency reports will inform, and be followed, by a Records Management Directive, to be issued by the Director of OMB and the National Archivist of the United States that will identify specific steps agencies must take to reform records management policies and practices.

        On Tuesday Prime Minister Abdurrahim el-Keib introduced a new government into the country which continues to recover from a brutal conflict following the onset of the Arab Spring in February. Tarhouni, once the finance and oil minister with the rebels which overturned Gaddafi's 42-year reign, was offered a political position in the new regime but declined it. On Friday Tarhouni took a swipe at the new order, saying that it does not even represent 10% of the Libyan population.

        One, an ethical analysis of the climate change disinformation campaign. We will examine whether this is a new kind of crime against humanity?
        Second, we will look at the piratical significance for negotiations in Durban if climate change is understood to create human rights violations.

      University of Utah professor's child porn probe moves to Utah home, campus office | The Salt Lake Tribune
        An anti-child pornography task force broke down the door of a jailed University of Utah professor's Cottonwood Heights home and police also searched his campus office after the educator was arrested and charged with viewing explicit child pornography on a Utah-to-Boston flight.
        Smith was sitting in the first-class section of the Delta flight on Saturday when a man behind him allegedly saw what appeared to be child pornography on Smith's open laptop computer. The passenger notified the flight's staff and also told his son via text or email. The son then called authorities, said Massachusetts State Police Trooper Todd Nolan.

      World News: WHO gears up as flu virus spreads - thestar.com
        The spread of an odd new flu virus that has been jumping from pigs to people in parts of the United States has the World Health Organization gearing up its response planning, a senior official of the agency says.
        The United Nations health body is figuring out what needs to be done if the virus continues to spread and a global response is required, said Dr. Keiji Fukuda, assistant director-general for health security and environment.
        The WHO wants to be ready to make recommendations and issue guidance to countries if the need arises -- though Fukuda stressed it is far from certain there will be the need.
        "We're very aware that we don't want to overplay or underplay. We're trying to get that right," Fukuda, a leading influenza expert, said from Geneva. "(We're) trying to make sure that we're ready to move quickly, if we have to move quickly, but also trying not to raise alarm bells."

      CRASH 2: More evidence of a bonkers system eating itself | The Slog
        I think this goes some way to explaining why the markets are desperately putting pressure on Berlin to stop playing dominatrix games, and start showing them where the repayments are coming from. Debt repayment quite clearly isn't going to come from economic growth: reduced banking income exacerbates a lending squeeze -- which would drive the eurozone deeper into recession. So as The Slog reported yesterday, the Sprouts, Krauts and Frogs are coming round to the view that zero-haircuts for lenders are what's required.

        In September, President Obama awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's most prestigious military award, to Sgt.

But today Meyer, 23, is having trouble getting a job because of allegations by defense contractor BAE Systems that he has a drinking problem and is mentally unstable. Meyer filed legal papers Monday claiming the allegations were in retaliation for objections he raised about BAE's alleged decision to sell high-tech sniper scopes to the Pakistani military.

    Wyclef Jean defends Haiti charity's actions - Haiti - MiamiHerald.com
      "The Post never highlights that Amisphere Farm Labor was responsible for preparing and delivering close to 100,000 meals,'' Jean says. This is not the first time Jean's charity has been scrutinized for its finances, or spending. Immediately after the quake, the charity faced a whirlwind of controversy.
    Wyclef Jean squandered Haitian relief funds
      Less than a third of the $16 million gathered in 2010 by hip-hop star Wyclef Jean for earthquake relief in Haiti actually made it to emergency efforts in the country, the New York Post reported on Sunday. According to the exclusive report, Jean's charity, Yele Haiti, doled out millions in questionable contracts -- in fact, $1 million was paid to a Florida firm that doesn't seem to exist. The Post also reported that a company called P&A Construction -- which is run by Warnel Pierre, Jean's brother-in-law -- received $353,983 from the group.

      The Clinton Foundation has worked closely with Marriott and Digicel to develop this project. The Foundation connected Marriott and Digicel knowing their mutual interests in the hotel sector, visited proposed construction sites with the parties and facilitated introductions to the Haitian government and the Haitian Tourism Association.
      "This new hotel project will stand as a symbol of Haiti's recovery, providing much needed jobs to the Haitian people and encouraging foreigners to visit, invest and work in Port-au-Prince," said President Clinton. "My Foundation has worked with both Marriott and Digicel, and encouraged them to form this partnership. Their investment proves that Haiti is open for business and on the path to economic recovery."

    News1130:Local Dutch Christmas tradition cancelled
      NEW WESTMINSTER (NEWS1130) - The Sinterklaas celebration at the New Westminster Quay has been cancelled. The Dutch Christmas festival came under fire this year when people complained St. Nick's helper "Black Peter" was offensive. The character wears blackface, which had some people complaining about racism. Organizers reached out to the black community last week and agreed to pull Black Peter from the celebration. They say it's a great loss and they're saddened by the events of the past few weeks. People on the Sinterklaas Facebook page are saddened as well. Most of them say the controversy "is ridiculous". The Sinterklaas celebration has happened every year since 1985.

    Drones cleared for domestic use across the US -- RT
      So far the FAA has issued 266 testing permits to allow for civilian drones in the United States, but the Times reports that the aircraft aren't flying in large numbers yet, as the agency says that the crafts do not have the proper technology to keep them from crashing into each other as they start to soar in growing numbers. Small drones are being manufactured in the thousands, however, and AeroVironment Inc. has created a drone helicopter for police monitoring and intends on sending 18,000 of them to law enforcement agencies once the crafts have clearance. Those drones, reports the Times, weigh barely five pounds and could be controlled by a tablet computer.

    Bomb voyage: 600 Libyans 'already fighting in Syria' - BlackListedNews.com
      The Libyan government apparently wants to share its successful experience of overthrowing the Gaddafi regime with like-minded Syrians. It has sent 600 of its troops to support local militants against the Assad regime, according to media reports. The fighters have joined the Free Syria Army, the militant group carrying out attacks on government forces in Syria, reports the Egyptian news website Al-Ray Al-Arabi citing its sources. The report says the troops entered Syria through Turkish territory. The alleged incursion happened with the consent of the chairman of the Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) Mustafa Abdul Jalil. The NTC allegedly welcomed volunteers to join the surge.
    'Western media outlets lie about Syria'
      A senior Turkish lawmaker says Western media outlets are not reflecting the reality in Syria and the West is playing a game in the Arab country, Press TV reports. MP Birgul Ayman Guler, the deputy chairperson of Turkey's main opposition party, the Republican People's Party (CHP), who visited Syria about one month ago as part of a Turkish delegation comprised of 38 women, said on Tuesday that the reality in Syria is different from what Western media outlets are reporting. In an exclusive interview with Press TV's Ankara correspondent, Guler stated, "What we understood during the visit was that the Western media were lying about the situation in Syria." "We were told [by the Western media] that there was bloodshed underway by the administration of [Syrian President Bashar] al-Assad, but we did not see any violence in Syria," she added. Guler visited the cities of Alepo, Damascus, and Latakia during her four-day trip to Syria. She said that fighting was reported only in Hama and Homs, where Syrian government forces were engaged in clashes with groups that had launched attacks on government forces and civilians. "When we returned to Turkey, we shared the realities with the Turkish people, the media, and the international community," the Turkish MP stated. Guler added that foreign elements, such as the United States and the European Union, are trying to implement a plot in Syria.

      A cue from an old cartoon show that was a parody of the spy genre; one of the characters was a squirrel spy. Originally meant to refer to someone working in covert operations or intelligence (undercover police, CIA, military intelligence, etc). It is now often used to refer to people who claim to have worked in the intelligence community in online forums and in person out of context with questionable veracity - ie potential/real poseurs/frauds. Forum poster X - " I worked in intelligence for 5 years and served in special operations but my service history is completely classified." Forum poster Y -" Oh great, another secret squirrel."

    Palantir, the War on Terror's Secret Weapon - BusinessWeek
      As the CIA analyst starts poking around on Fikri's file inside of Palantir, a story emerges. A mouse click shows that Fikri has wired money to the people he had been calling in Syria. Another click brings up CIA field reports on the Syrians and reveals they have been under investigation for suspicious behavior and meeting together every day over the past two weeks. Click: The Syrians bought plane tickets to Miami one day after receiving the money from Fikri. To aid even the dullest analyst, the software brings up a map that has a pulsing red light tracing the flow of money from Cairo and Syria to Fikri's Miami condo. That provides local cops with the last piece of information they need to move in on their prey before he strikes.

      First Justice and the FBI. Now even the spooks at Langley are cutting back. Reporters got the bad news Tuesday on CIA Director David Petraeus's first holiday reception. "I regret to advise that your invitation is not, in fact, lost in the mail," the e-mail said. "Reflecting the constrained and possibly worsening fiscal climate, this year's event has been greatly scaled back." However, the agency's public affairs office will be hosting an off-the-record cocktail reception in January. There'll be hors d'oeuvres’Äîbut "because of governmental belt-tightening," it's a cash bar for alcohol: "(we promise at prices well below that of a beer on an airplane)."
    Dan Rather Says 'Big Money Owns Everything ... Including the News' - Truthdig
      Of course freedom of the press and of speech both come with pitfalls. People can peddle opinions as if they were facts. Those armed with the big, expensive megaphones drown out those blowing whistles.
      But now, we see our fellow citizens taking to the streets. And, that my friends, is our cue to get back to work. As the People of our nation begin rising up, they expect the business of news to be about inquiry and accountability.
      And, luckily for us, we can still do that ... but it may not be within the confines of big corporate media. As you know, we are living in an age when big money owns everything ... including the news.
    GeenStijl : CEO verslavingskliniek stijf van dope op KLM-vlucht

De man die afgelopen vrijdag tijdens een KLM-vlucht van Zuid-Afrika naar Amsterdam zwaar onder de dope het vliegtuig op zijn kop zette en naderhand werd gearresteerd blijkt een gerenommeerde verslavingskliniek te runnen. Bas de Bont van Addiction Care in Veldhoven was tijdens de 12-urige vlucht zo erg onder de invloed van alcohol en medicijnen dat hij op 30.000 ft. probeerde de nooddeuren te openen. Dan ben je ver heen hoor. Ook probeerde hij de cockpit binnen te dringen, was hij zeer agressief richting de stewardessen en viel hij zijn medepassagiers lastig.

    Senate defies threat of veto in terrorist custody vote S1860
      Defying a veto threat by President Obama, the Senate voted Tuesday to give the U.S. military first crack at holding al Qaeda operatives, even if they are captured in the U.S. and are American citizens, and also reaffirmed the policy of indefinite detention. "We're no longer going to have an absurd result that if we capture you overseas where you're planning an attack on the United States, we can blow you up or put you in a military prison indefinitely, but if you make it to America, all of a sudden you get Miranda rights and you go to federal court," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who has fought the Bush and Obama administrations on treatment of suspected terrorist detainees. Tuesday's 61-37 vote to buck Mr. Obama and grant the military dibs exposed a deep rift within the Democratic Party. Sixteen Democrats and one independent who caucuses with them defied the veto threat and joined 44 Republicans.
    Defense bill offers balance in dealing with detainees - The Washington Post
      The United States has struggled to craft laws and procedures to prosecute the unprecedented kind of war that came to our shores on Sept. 11, 2001. The courts, Congress and two presidential administrations have gradually, often ad hoc, developed a system that seeks to uphold our values and honors our Constitution while protecting national security. Congress -- in particular, the Senate Armed Services Committee -- has worked hard to establish in law this important balance rather than rely solely on court orders and executive orders that can change with administrations.

The passenger notified the flight's staff and also told his son via text or email. The son then called authorities, said Massachusetts State Police Trooper Todd Nolan.

    World News: WHO gears up as flu virus spreads - thestar.com
      The spread of an odd new flu virus that has been jumping from pigs to people in parts of the United States has the World Health Organization gearing up its response planning, a senior official of the agency says.
      The United Nations health body is figuring out what needs to be done if the virus continues to spread and a global response is required, said Dr. Keiji Fukuda, assistant director-general for health security and environment.
      The WHO wants to be ready to make recommendations and issue guidance to countries if the need arises -- though Fukuda stressed it is far from certain there will be the need.
      "We're very aware that we don't want to overplay or underplay. We're trying to get that right," Fukuda, a leading influenza expert, said from Geneva. "(We're) trying to make sure that we're ready to move quickly, if we have to move quickly, but also trying not to raise alarm bells."

So as The Slog reported yesterday, the Sprouts, Krauts and Frogs are coming round to the view that zero-haircuts for lenders are what's required.

But today Meyer, 23, is having trouble getting a job because of allegations by defense contractor BAE Systems that he has a drinking problem and is mentally unstable. Meyer filed legal papers Monday claiming the allegations were in retaliation for objections he raised about BAE's alleged decision to sell high-tech sniper scopes to the Pakistani military.
