  Massive Explosion Reported After CIA Drone Targets Indianapolis
  By:Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
  A chilling report circulating in the Kremlin this afternoon released by the Aerospace Defence Forces (VKO) states that Kosmos 2479 detected the firing of two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles from a MQ-1 Predator drone yesterday being operated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) over the United States city of Indianapolis that resulted in a massive explosion [photo 2nd left], and from local US media reports resulted in at least two deaths.
  Kosmos 2479 is an early warning satellite launched in 2012 as part of the VKO's Oko programme and monitors the US from geostationary orbit for all possible threats, including the tracking of American airspace for US Air Force and CIA fighter jets, bombers and drones.
  The CIA's MQ-1 Predator drones, equipped with two fearsome AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, have been described as President Obama's ''weapon of choice'' and are currently most noted for bringing to Pakistan the same horror that Hitler's doodlebugs inflicted on London during World War II.
  According to this report, after the firing of these drone-missiles, two distinct trajectories were recorded which were ''near simultaneously countermanded'' by countermeasures employed by an AN/ALQ-99 airborne electronic warfare system aboard a US Air Force EA-6B Prowler electronic warfare aircraft that had been dispatched from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to track this CIA drone that had, apparently, deviated from its assigned flight track.
  Most ominous in this VKO report is its stating that the ''intended targets'' of these Hellfire missiles were the US Army Resource Services (PPBES) and the US Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), both located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
  The PPBES is tasked with overseeing critical, mandated, and/or sensitive US Defense and Army-wide programs including foreign currency fluctuation accounts, Individual Ready Reserve Mobilization of American Armed Forces, and is responsible for the evacuation of civilians in case of threats to the United States.
  The DFAS pays all US Defense Department (DoD) military and civilian personnel, retirees and annuitants, as well as major DoD contractors and vendors. DFAS also supports customers outside the DoD in support of electronic government initiatives. These customers include the Executive Office of the President, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Broadcasting Board of Governors.
  Should the attack on either the PPBES or DFAS been successful, VKO analysts in this report say, the US Military establishment would have suffered a ''critical blow'' at the same time it is managing multiple wars across the globe, along with growing evidence of an internal power struggle between it and the newly reelected President Obama.
  Important to note is that this attack, likewise, comes within hours of Obama toppling one of the top generals believed to be leading the coup against him, and as we had detailed in our previous report titled ''Obama Topples Top Coup Leader After Washington Gunbattle.''
  As we had noted in that report, the toppling by Obama of General David Petraeus matched other top US Military leaders he has purged in the past 3 weeks, and which include: Rear Admiral Charles M. Gaouette, US Army General Carter Ham, Brigadier General Jeffery A. Sinclair, and US Navy Commander Joseph E. Darlak.
  To how powerful the explosion was when these Hellfire missiles hit the ground in Indianapolis we can read, in part, as reported by the local WTHR.com news service, and which says:
  ''Two people were killed and about two dozen homes were damaged by an explosion in a south side Indianapolis neighborhood late Saturday night. The explosion was reported shortly after 11 p.m. near South Sherman Drive and Stop 11 Road on the south side of Indianapolis.
  Bonnie Hensley with the Indianapolis Fire Department says the original explosion was on Fieldfare Way in the Richmond Hill subdivision. Homes on both sides of Alcona Drive were damaged. She added that more than 100 firefighters responded to the fire. IFD has confirmed at least two people died in the explosion. Fire officials say the victims were in one or both of the houses that were destroyed by the explosion.''
  Curiously to note in this reports conclusion is that this attack, should it have been successful, ''nearly mirrors'' that of the 11 September 2001 strike on the United States that Russian intelligence analysts still maintain was the ''opening salvo'' of a global economic war.
  Unbeknownst to the American people are that in the weeks prior to the 9/11 attacks, the entire western-backed global economic system was on the brink of total collapse due to massive fraud charges set to be filed against all of the top banks in the United States, but whose evidence was ''conveniently'' destroyed with the collapse of World Trade Building 7 which had not even been attacked.
  To the final outcome of these grim events now occurring in the United States it is not in our knowing, other than to note'...and with each passing day'...the situation for those in power, especially those who end up on the losing side, more closely resembles controlled chaos than anything else.

NFL Terror Attacks Coming Any Given Sunday Truther.Org

  NFL Terror: Any Given Sunday
  Truther.orgNovember 10, 2012David Chase Taylor
  While an NFL terror attack could come any given Sunday, it will most likely come in bunches (coordinated attacks on multiple NFL stadiums at the same time), during the playoffs, or at an upcoming Super Bowl. The goal of an NFL terror attack would be to garner a political mandate for Obama post-election, give Obama a reason to invade Africa or the Middle East, install draconian police-state measures throughout America, create a reason to implement martial law, and potentially foment a civil-war in America.
  One particular date of interest is this Sunday, November 11, 2012, when Veterans Day will be celebrated in America. Aside from the NFL's month-long pro-war propaganda campaign entitled 'Salute to Service', the NCAA is also honoring the U.S. military with its inaugural Armed Forces Classic men's basketball game at U.S. Ramstein Air Base in Frankfurt, Germany. Although another NCAA military event in South Carolina entitled the Carrier Classic was suspiciously canceled, a new NCAA men's basketball game has been scheduled for this Sunday, November 11, 2012, on the flight deck of the decommissioned aircraft carrier USS Midway in San Diego, California, a city blinking red on every level of false-flag terrorism.
  The marriage between American sports and the U.S. military has been propagandized via ESPN this entire week and should a terror attack occur on Veterans Day at either an NFL or NCAA event, a majority of the U.S. military will likely watch it happen. All veterans and active duty U.S. service men and women have been invited by Applebee's, a national restaurant chain, for a free meal on Veterans Day to honor their service to America. Due to the gratis meals, military personal will likely flood to Applebee's in droves, spend lots of money on drinks, and watch Sunday's sporting events, namely NFL football. It appears that the U.S. military, the NFL, the NCAA, ESPN, ABC Sports and Applebee's have colluded in order to make Veteran's Day 2012 a day that will live in infamy.
  NFL's 'Salute to Service'The NFL is dedicating the entire month of November to the U.S. military in what is being called 'Salute to Service', a pro-war propaganda campaign started in 2011. According to reports, ''The National Football League will continue its long history of honoring veterans and active duty members of the military with its annual 'Salute to Service' campaign'' which is ''designed to unify and elevate the extensive military appreciation work of the NFL and its clubs''. All 32 NFL teams have designated one home game to honor the U.S. military in which teams will be forced to display a number of 'Salute To Service'-branded elements in their stadiums including goal post wraps, pylons with camouflage ribbon decals, wall banners with the words 'Salute To in the back of the end zone, camouflage ribbon lapel pins, camouflage Gatorade towels, camouflage Nike and Under Armour gloves for players, camouflage captain's patches and camouflage ribbon footballs used on every play.
  1. NFL TERROR
  1.1: NFL Terror Drills(2001-Present)The NFL has allowed the U.S. government to conduct numerous terror related drills in their football stadiums throughout America. These terror drills have trained local, state and federal officials for almost every conceivable act of NFL terror including but not limited to active-shooter scenarios, bio-chemical attacks, dirty bomb explosion and suicide terror attacks. In 2001, FEMA officials simulated a terror attack on the Superdome in New Orleans Louisiana, just prior to it hosting the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl terror drill simulated explosions as well as the outbreak of a mysterious bio-terror plague. Coincidentally, the Superdome will also host the 2013 Super Bowl on February 3, 2013.
  1.2: NFL Dirty Bomb Terror Plot (2006)On October 20, 2006, it was reported that Jake J. Brahm, an alleged 20-year-old grocery store clerk, had posted threats on the internet of a terrorist attacks on NFL stadiums in which radioactive ''dirty bombs'' would be detonated at seven NFL football stadiums. According to reports, Brahm's posting on October 18, 2006, targeted stadiums in Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland, Cleveland and New York City. Brahm also added that the stadium explosions would be praised by Osama bin Laden as ''America's Hiroshima'' and spark global conflicts. The message said that bombs would be delivered by trucks and that ''the death toll will approach 100,000 from the initial blasts and countless other fatalities will later occur as result from radioactive fallout.'' Although Brahm was arrested on federal charges that could have resulted in five years behind bars, he only received a 6 month prison sentence.
  1.3: NFL Bomb Scare (2006)On November 6, 2006, it was reported that two Carnegie Mellon University students, Sudeep Paul, 21, and Anand Shankar Durvasula, 20, were charged with criminal conspiracy and criminal trespass after they were caught in the middle of the night trying to sneak into Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburg Steelers. Although explosive-sniffing dogs found nothing of interest around the football stadium, an affidavit stated that the dogs registered two separate ''positive hits for explosives'' in the Lexus sport utility vehicle the men were driving. According to reports, Heinz Field security officers spotted the men on a security camera trying to enter the stadium. The security officers then approached the men who tried to escape, only to be apprehended by Pittsburgh police officers in waiting. The suspects initially told police that they were trying to check out the stadium because they had tickets to the Steelers game against the Denver Broncos, but later changed their story and told investigators they were trying to complete a music video. A video camera and tripod were allegedly found inside the vehicle which police found parked nearby. Even though the suspects were questioned by agents from the Joint Terrorism Task Force, Pittsburgh Police Chief Nate Harper stated that ''We don't know exactly what their intentions were''.
  1.4: NFL Exempt from Terror Lawsuits(2008)Congressional legislation passed in December of 2008, conveniently dismisses any potential lawsuits against the NFL stemming from a future terror attack on any of the NFL's football stadiums. The new law, entitled the SAFETY Act (Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies), which was curiously not reported until September of 2009, essentially guarantees that the NFL will not have to pay any claims that terror victims may file in the aftermath of an attack. According to the report, the ''protection extends only to companies' services or equipment that the Homeland Security Department has approved as being effective in anti-terrorism.'' The NFL got the protection after the government approved the league's nine-page stadium-security guidelines. ''An attack from a terrorist organization could put us out of business'', stated NFL security chief Milt Ahlerich.1.5: NFL & DHS Partnership (2011)The NFL was intimately connected to the foiled Super Bowl XLV nuclear terror plot (see below), so it should come as no surprise that the NFL and DHS have partnered together in the ''If You See Something, Say Something'' terror program. The NFL and DHS terror partnership was forged just two days prior to Super Bowl XLV, when U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano stated that: ''We are partnering this year with the NFL on our 'If You See Something, Say Something' campaign and launching that NFL partnership right here at the Super Bowl'...The idea is simple'...We are simply asking the American people to be vigilant, recognizing that our security is a shared responsibility that all of us must participate in. If a fan at the Super Bowl or any other American at any other place sees something that is potentially dangerous, then say something about it to local law enforcement or someone in authority''.
  1.6: Super Bowl Nuclear Terror Plot (2011)On February 6, 2011, a state-sponsored false-flag terrorist plot to detonate a nuclear bomb at Super Bowl XLV in Dallas, Texas, was foiled. Five days before on February 1, 2011, Julian Assange of Wikileaksrevealed to the world via leaked classified diplomatic documents that Al-Qaida was on the brink of using a nuclear bomb and that the West was on the verge of a ''Nuclear 9/11'". What the diplomatic documents failed to mention was actual target, date and location of the upcoming nuclear terror attack. Published 4 days prior on January 28, 2011, a free ebook, entitled The Nuclear Bible that went viral on the internet, specifically named Super Bowl XLV as the target, date and location of the impending nuclear terror attack. Pakistan, the alleged greatest purveyor of terrorism and nuclear proliferation, was scheduled to be scapegoated for the nuclear attack that would kick off a nuclear World War III.
  1.7: New NFL Security Protocols (2011-2012)Shortly after the failed Super Bowl terror plot, the NFL drastically changed their security protocols, a clear move to give the NFL plausible deniability in the aftermath of a terror attack. The first phase came in September of 2011, when it was reported that under the new ''enhanced'' pat-down procedures, the NFL had ordered all 32 clubs to search fans from the ankles to the knees as well as the waist up. Previously, security guards only patted down fans from the waist up while looking for booze, weapons or other banned items. The second phase came in August of 2012 when it was reported that even newer security protocols were being implemented at all NFL stadiums. According to the NFL, the new procedures involved ''using handheld metal detectors'' to ''ensure a safe game day environment for all fans''. Football fans are now asked to hold their keys, cell phones and other metal items in their hands during the new security process, a new measure implemented to eliminate the need for ''pat-downs'' before games. It appears that the NFL is fully anticipating a terror attack and has gone through the necessary procedure to ensure that they are not held accountable in the aftermath.
  1.8: NFL Attacks & Scares (2011-2012)Sports stadium terror propaganda is all-time high and there have been at least 10 stadium shootings, stabbings, threats and scares in 2012 alone. Ever since the foiled Super Bowl XLV terror plot, there have been numerous incidents which foreshadow that NFL terror is on the horizon. On August 21, 2011, it was reported that two men were shot and a third man was beaten unconscious inside the stadium in the parking lot of Candlestick Park after a preseason game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders. Roughly three weeks later on September 13, 2011, a man was arrested after allegedly using an illegal Taser in a fight with other fans during the Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets game. About a month later on November 10, 2011, a man was stabbed during a fight in the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot during a San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders game. A month later on December 20, 2011, the start of Monday Night Football at Candlestick Park in San Francisco was delayed when a transformer exploded just outside the stadium. The unprecedented explosion delayed the start of the game for about 30 minutes. After being allegedly fixed, the power and lights went out for a second time around 6:45 p.m. causing a second delay of game that lasted 16 minutes in the second quarter. Roughly eight months later, on August 18, 2012, it was reported that a man was police responded to a call from a man who said he had ''accidentally shot'' another man in a parking lot near the University of Phoenix stadium during the Oakland Raiders and Arizona Cardinals game. Five days later on August 23, 2012, it was reported that potentially rabid bats had swooped down fans during a game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Detroit Lions and that the Maryland's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) has warned people sitting in section 500 that they could be at risk for rabies. Roughly two weeks later on September 15, 2012, a man shot and wounded a female parking lot employee before killing himself between the stadiums that are home to the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals. A month later on October 15, 2012, a man suffered non-fatal injuries when he was stabbed outside Candlestick Park, shortly after the start of Sunday's game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants. Based on the sheer amount of events involving NFL teams from Oakland and San Francisco, a terror event may transpire in the Bay Area sometime in the near future.1.9: NFL Bomb Threat (2012)On June 2, 2012, it was reported that a Detroit Lions fan, Shawn Payton, 34, had called in two bomb threats during Detroit's playoff loss to the New Orleans Saints at the Superdome in January of 2012. According to reports, Payton called in the hoax threats from his home in Jackson, Michigan, in an attempt to halt the January 7, 2012, game, which the Saints went on to win. According to the indictment, he told the receptionist, ''I will blow up your building.'' In the second message, which was recorded by police after the first threat was reported, he ordered, ''I want you to relay a message to the sideline: If your stupid Southern team keeps winning, there will be '... severe consequences, OK?'' FBI agents allegedly traced phone records to nab Payton, who eventually pleaded guilty to a felony charge of using interstate communications to transmit a threat. Although Payton faced a maximum of five years' imprisonment and a $250,000 fine, it was reported on September 7, 2012, that he was only sentenced to three years probation and two months of home confinement.
  2. POTENTIAL NFL TERROR LOCATIONS
  2.1: Future NFL Terror Locations?While all NFL teams and stadiums are subject to the state-sponsored terror threat, it appear that Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois, Candlestick Park and the Oakland Coliseum in the San Francisco Bay Area, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey (New York), Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas, and Foxboro Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, appear to be the most likely locations. The aforementioned false-flag terror targets where chosen based on team popularity, team owners, city mayors, size and population, as well as the cities' respective terror related history. That being said, Chicago and San Francisco appear to be the chosen locations where NFL terror is most likely.
  2.2: Soldier Field (Chicago, Illinois)Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the son of a Zionist terrorist, desperately wants Chicago to host a Super Bowl at Soldier Field and he even joked about taking drastic measures to get what he wants. ''I found out a secret, and that is the commissioner's in-laws live in the Chicago area,'' the mayor said after meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to pitch the idea of a Super Bowl in Chicago. ''And I'm holding him hostage until that happens.'' If the type of Super Bowl Emanuel wants is anything like the Super Bowl XLV, there may be some extracurricular terror activities. The drastic measures Emanuel was refereeing to are more than likely real threats by a Zionist terrorist against the NFL to allow a major terror attack on an upcoming NFL game.
  According to the NFL, the Chicago Bears 'Salute to Service' game will be held on November 11, 2011, when the West Point ''Knight Caps'' Glee Club will sing the National Anthem. 100 members of the military from the various branches will hold the American flag and another 100 will hold the 4th Phase Flag. A soldier will lead the Bears onto the field while carrying the American flag, and the team's honorary captains will be Ray Mabus, Secretary of the Navy, and General Raymond E. Johns, Jr., 4-star general from the Air Force. Halftime will feature a Purple Heart presentation, a Medal of Valor presentation and re-enlistment ceremony. There will also be a video produced by Boeing, featuring Bears fans who sent in submissions honoring the military. A World War II veteran will be recognized during the Bears/Boeing Military Salute in the third quarter.
  2.3: Candlestick Park/Oakland Coliseum (San Francisco, California)Based on the sheer amount of violent and unprecedented events surrounding the Oakland Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers, a future terror attack on an NFL stadium in the Bay Area may be imminent. On August 21, 2011, it was reported that two men were shot and a third man was beaten unconscious inside the stadium in the parking lot of Candlestick Park after a preseason game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders. A few months later on November 10, 2011, a man was stabbed during a fight in the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot during a San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders game. A month later on December 20, 2011, the start of Monday Night Football at Candlestick Park in San Francisco was delayed when a transformer exploded just outside the stadium. The unprecedented explosion delayed the start of the game for about 30 minutes. After being allegedly fixed, the power and lights went out for a second time around 6:45 p.m. causing a second delay of game that lasted 16 minutes in the second quarter. Roughly eight months later, on August 18, 2012, it was reported that a man was police responded to a call from a man who said he had ''accidentally shot'' another man in a parking lot near the University of Phoenix stadium during the Oakland Raiders and Arizona Cardinals game. A month later on October 15, 2012, a man suffered non-fatal injuries when he was stabbed outside Candlestick Park, shortly after the start of Sunday's game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants.
  According to the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers 'Salute to Service' game will be held on November 11, 2011, and will include the ''swearing-in of new Army recruits and honoring of Wounded Warriors pre-game, unfurling of a giant American flag by service personnel, Anthem performed by Navy Counselor 1st Class Steven Powell, flyover of Navy F-18 jets, Salute to Service video board messaging throughout the game, a live tribute to veterans in attendance, a USAA ''Salute to Service'' card stunt during the game and a performance by the Army Silent Drill Team during halftime.''
  3. NFL TERROR SCAPEGOAT:AL SHABAAB
  3.1: Al Shabaab Terror ThreatThe apparent specialty of Al Shabaab terrorists is attacks on sports related events. Should the NFL suffer a terror attack, it will most likely be scapegoated onto Al Shabaab. Recent Al Shabaab terror propaganda and the ever expanding war on Al Shabaab has been recently bolstered by the timely arrest of at least 4 Al Shabaab terrorists allegedly intent on attacking America. Not surprisingly, connections between Al Qaeda and Al Shabaab have been made from Al Shabaab's inception. The marriage between the two groups is legitimate, given that both groups are run by western intelligence agencies, namely the CIA. Therefore, it would stand to reason that the groups would share the same political and religious ideology. Following in the Al Qaeda footprint, Al Shabaab has allegedly stated to Kenya that ''Your skyscrapers will be destroyed, your tourism will disappear''.
  3.2: Al Shabaab & ObamaThe ever growing and fictitious feud between U.S. President Barack Obama and the alleged terror group Al Shabaab is outright laughable. According to reports, Al Shabaab planned to kill Obama at his presidential inauguration and allegedly targeted Obama's grandmother in Kenya. On June 7, 2012, the U.S. government offered a reward for information on the whereabouts of leaders in the Somali militant group Al-Shabab. Two days later on June 9, 2012, Al Shabaab responded to Obama's bounty by offering a counter bounty of 10 camels for President Barack Obama and two camels for information on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
  3.3: Al Shabaab Terror AttacksThe apparent specialty of Al Shabaab terror is attacks on sports related events. Should the NFL suffer a terror attack, it will most likely be scapegoated onto Al Shabaab. The growing list of Al Shabaab terror attacks includes attacks on twin bombings on crowds watching the World Cup soccer final, a truck bomb at the education ministry in Somalia, kidnapping aid workers at a camp in Kenya, grenade attacks, a suicide attacks on sports officials in a theater, a suicide attack on the president of Somalia and the foreign minister of Kenya, the attack and capture of an airport in Somalia, a suicide attack on a church as well as a bombing on a church. As evidenced, their attacks are growing bolder and more daring.
  3.4: Al Shabaab Threat to AmericaThe U.S. Congress has stated that Al Shabaab poses a ''Direct Threat'' to the U.S. and that there is growing evidence that the Al Qaeda affiliate in Somalia, known as al-Shabaab, is becoming more of a regional terrorist player with the potential to go global as it targets U.S. citizens and interests. Al Shabaab urges their ''brothers and sisters'' to ''do jihad'' in America, Canada, England, ''anywhere in Europe, in Asia, in Africa, in China, in Australia, anywhere you find kuffar,'' a derogatory term for non-Muslims.
  3.5: Al Shabaab & Suicide TerrorBased on recent suicide terror propaganda, the ever increasing amount of suicide terror attacks and the recent high-profile cases of suicide terror plots allegedly thwarted by officials, suicide terror in America is now imminent. Although to date America has remained suicide terror free, in 1998, an Israeli suicide bomber plotted to attack the U.S. Capitol but was not successful due to faulty wiring. Steel street grates in Philadelphia have been ''mysteriously disappearing'' over the last year, and in Wyoming, numerous horse tails have been clipped and stolen, potentially indicating that suicide bombers dressed as women may be in the false-flag suicide terror script. In the 2012 Hollywood blockbuster entitled ''Act of Valor'', suicide bombers target American sports stadiums, a concept which could transpire in reality at an NCAA or NFL game. According to a May 13, 2012, report, security has been stepped up at airports worldwide as surgically-doctored terrorists plot suicide attacks with implanted bombs that would be undetectable to airport body scanners. On August 14, 2012, it was reported that Al Qaeda, under the heading ''Area of activity: The planet Earth,'' is allegedly seeking jihadists to carry out suicide attacks. Aside from a recent rash of unprecedented suicide terror threats and scares, the U.S. government has also been preparing for suicide terror by conducting multiple suicide terror drills in order to prepare local, state and federal officials for inevitable suicide terror.
  3.6: Al Shabaab & PiracyAn obvious question is how would African terrorists get to America undetected? Piracy! They would allegedly hijack ships and sail to America to revenge the death of Osama bin Laden. On October 22, 2012, it was reported that sea piracy had fallen to its lowest level in 4 years and that the Somali piracy threat had eased up. Somali pirates, who have long been linked to Al Shabaab appear to be one in the same and may be on their way to American shores. On October 8, 2012, it was reported that a Greek ship management company says it has lost contact with one of its tankers off the coast of western Africa, where several vessels have been attacked by Somali pirates. A few weeks later on October 25, 2012, it was reported that a mysterious Libyan ship carrying weapons may have some link to the September 11, 2012, terror attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The next day on October 26, 2012, it was reported that the U.S. Navy will be moving 24 ships from the Norfolk Naval Station region in Virginia out to sea to get out of the path of Hurricane Sandy, potentially providing a window for Somali Al Shabaab pirates to land on U.S. shores. Two days later on October 28, 2012, it was reported that a Russian ship with 11 people on board has gone missing in stormy seas off the nation's Pacific Coast, potentially indicating that the Somali pirates have hijacked another vessel.
  4. NFL TERROR SCAPEGOAT: EX-GITMO DETAINEES4.1: Ex-Gitmo Detainee Terror Threat Although a solo ex-Gitmo terror attack on the NFL is not likely, it is possible that these alleged terrorist could collude with Al Shabaab or Al Qaeda and serve as the scapegoat for a terror attack on America. After all, just as the 9/11 Terror Trial is about kick-off, reports are beginning to surface that ex-Gitmo detainees are complicit in recent terror attacks giving further credence to the theory that the Guantanamo military base is place where Muslims are radicalized, brainwashed and ultimately sent out into the world to commit acts of terror. On July 19, 2012, it was reported by Bulgarian media that Mehdi Ghezali, an ex-Gitmo jihadist, was responsible for blowing up a bus with Israeli tourists. Two months later on September 20, 2012, it was reported that the September 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was directly tied to Al Qaeda and a former Guantanamo detainee. Interestingly, on October 27, 2012, just 10 days prior to the 2012 election, Al Qaeda called on Muslims to kidnap Westerners with the purpose of trading victims for Islamic jihadist prisoners held in Guantanamo Bay.
  4.2: Ex-Gitmo Detainee ReleasesComplementing the impending 9/11 Terror Trial is the sudden and inexplicable release of at least 57 Guantanamo terror detainees which consist of former al-Qaida cook Ibrahim al-Qosi who supported terrorism by providing logistical support to al-Qaida, Shaker Aamer, the last British resident held at Guantanamo, and Omar Khadr who was convicted of killing Sergeant First Class (SFC) Christopher Speer. Another suspicious development is the upcoming transfer of Guantanamo terror detainees to the Thomson Correctional Center, a state prison 150 miles west of Chicago, Illinois. Whether or not the prison transfer will be completed without incident is yet to be determined, but a surprise prison break would not be out of the question as there have been 4 major prison breaks in Iraq, Libya, Mexico and the United States since September of 2012.
  4.3: Gitmo 9/11 TerrorTrialIn November of 2012, the world will be subjected to a spectacular show trial as the 9/11 Terror Trial kicks off in Guantanamo, Cuba. Despite the fact that the Israeli Mossad executed the 9/11 attacks, alleged Islamic terrorists will be tried and likely convicted in a television show trial which should be something of a hybrid between the Nuremberg Trial and the O.J. Simpson trial. Curiously, just prior to the start of the 9/11 Terror Trial, the U.S. Navy will ''clean up offices at the Guantanamo Bay'' to take care of offices which are ''dangerously contaminated with rat droppings and mold''. The Navy is obliging five prisoners charged in the 9/11 attacks who complained that their offices were so contaminated that their lawyers and paralegals have suffered respiratory ailments. Why the complaint wasn't filed by the lawyers is rather suspicious leading to fears that the Navy could conveniently leave behind explosives and/or weapons to aid the ex-Gitmo detainees in a daring prison escape from Guantanamo Bay. Theoretically, Al Shabaab terrorists from Africa could make their way to America via ship, spring their Islamic brothers from Guantanamo Bay, and attack U.S. targets along with ex-Gitmo terror detainees.
  CONCULSION
  To date, there have been at least three Obama terror plots which have been foiled: The Super Bowl XLV nuclear terror plot, the 2012 New Year's Eve dirty bomb plot, and the 2012 Democratic National Convention terror plot. After being caught red-handed on multiple occasions, the Obama Administration and its Zionist controllers are more desperate than ever to conduct major false-flag operations within the United States. Unbeknownst to most NFL fans, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has some very close ties to George Bush Sr. as well as George W. Bush. In May of 2011, NFL players called the National Football League a ''cartel'', potentially indicating that NFL players are in fact aware of the failed Super Bowl XLV nuclear terror plot. If the NFL suffers a major terror attack, it should come as no surprise as spectacular terrorism demands an audience. The NFL is one of the most highly rated television programs in America and thanks to the NFL's Red Zone, fans will be instantly terrorized if and when terror attacks occur at stadiums throughout the NFL.
  The U.S. economy is at an all-time low and dissent for Obama and the U.S. government is at an all-time high. According to a Financial Times article, Obama's has a ''growing credibility crisis'' and there are fears that the Democrats could lose the White House and the Senate to the Republicans. White House advisor Robert Shapiro made it crystal clear that Obama is relying on a terror attack to rescue his presidency: ''The bottom line here is that Americans don't believe in President Obama's leadership,'' said Shapiro, ''He has to find some way between now and November of demonstrating that he is a leader who can command confidence and, short of a 9/11 event or an Oklahoma City bombing, I can't think of how he could do that. The November election Shapiro spoke of came and went, so its clear that an Obama false-flag attack is imminent.

Michelle Obama 2016: Why Not? - Politics - The Atlantic Wire
  Link to Article
  Sun, 11 Nov 2012 14:37
  What's the case against Michelle Obama starting a political career of her own? It starts and ends with the fact that she doesn't want one. But what if she changes her mind? The first lady has three important things for a future in politics: the popularity, the skills, and the opportunity. (We'll get to "the will" later.) Here's the case for her taking her turn on the ballot:
  People love her. Aside from her husband and Hillary Clinton, the first lady is the biggest rock star in the Democratic Party. Her approval rating, at 69 percent, is higher than her husband's. But more tellingly, it's more than 20 points higher than Hillary Clinton's was in 1996. Clinton was elected to the Senate four years later. And while Clinton was a sympathetic figure because of her rocky marriage, Obama is popular because of her "aspirational" marriage, in the words of campaign photographer Scout Tufankjian. She took the photo of the Obamas hugging that became the most-liked Facebook photo ever. Tfankijan told Slate that she was fully aware the photos popularity wasn't about her composition, but about "how people feel about the Obamas."
  She has the skills. Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention was very well-received. The Daily Beast's Andrew Sullivan ran out of adjectives to describe how good it was. ("Stunning, brilliant, moving, passionate and right. Flawless. That was a speech a presidential nominee would be proud to have given.")
  When TV Guide speculated about what Obama might do if her husband lost, the leading theory was that she'd be some kind of TV talk show host:
  ''Personally I want to see her in the White House,'' says Hillary Estey McLaughlin, president of Telepictures Productions, the syndication company behind the Ellen DeGeneres Show. ''But if she were not going to be in the White House, I'd love to have her as the host of a show. She's amazing...She reminds me of Oprah Winfrey, as someone who has the ability to make people understand complex things in a simple way.''
  Obama could use her ability to "make people understand complex things in a simple way" to help moms with troubled teens, or she could explain public policy to the masses.
  She has the opportunity. No one thinks she can or would run to replace her husband in 2016. But if she wanted to launch a political caree, Republican Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois will be up for re-election in 2016. Obama wouldn't face the attacks Clinton did during her race for Senate in New York in 2000, while her husband was still President, that she was an opportunistic carpetbagger. Obama was born and raised in Chicago. John McLaughlin, the shouting host of The McLaughlin Group thinks Obama will do so, thus "duplicating the career of Hillary Clinton." Politico's Charles Mahtesian points out that if 2016 is too soon, there's always 2020, when Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin comes up for reelection. He'd be 75 years old by then. Obama is only 48 now, so she'd be just 56 in 2020.
  What about the will to do it? This is the only case people make against Obama's potential political career. Salon's Alex Pareene says, sarcastically, "a minor problem that she has never evinced any interest in running for public office." Jodi Kantor, author of The Obamas, says she'll eat her book if the first lady runs. But guess what? People said that about Hillary Clinton, too. In February 1999, The Wall Street Journal's John Fund wrote that Clinton "isn't likely to succumb to media calls for her candidacy, but she may be tempted... [S]he is in an awkward position from which she may find it difficult to transfer her public popularity into meaningful power." Bill Clinton's chief of staff while he was governor, Betsey Wright, said there was no way in an interview with Northwest Arkansas Times: "I can't imagine that in the end she would want to run for elective office and go back and work in Washington, D.C. I don't think she is that much of a sadist '-- I mean a masochist. That was a really bad slip. I don't want her limited by being in the Senate." Clinton announced an exploratory committee in July 1999.

Deadly earthquake hits northern Burma

  A strong earthquake struck northern Burma on Sunday, leaving as many as 12 people feared dead.
  An official from the meteorological department in the capital, Naypyitaw, said the magnitude 6.8 quake struck at 7.42am local time. The area surrounding the epicentre is a centre for mining of minerals and gemstones, and several mines were reported to have collapsed.
  The biggest single death toll was reported by an administrative officer in Sintku township, who said six people had died there and another 11 were injured. He said some of the dead were miners who were killed when a gold mine collapsed.
  According to news reports, several people died when a bridge under construction across the Irrawaddy river east of the town of Shwebo collapsed. The bridge linked Sinku on the east bank of the Irrawaddy with Kyaukmyaung to the west.
  The website of Weekly Eleven magazine said four people were killed and 25 injured when the bridge fell. The local government announced a toll of two dead and 16 injured. All of the victims appeared to be workers. A police officer in Shwebo said one person was confirmed dead from the bridge's collapse, and five were unaccounted for.
  Weekly Eleven also said two monasteries in Kyaukmyaung collapsed, killing two people.
  "This is the worst earthquake I felt in my entire life," said Soe Soe, a 52-year-old Shwebo resident. She said the huge concrete gate of a local monastery collapsed and several sculptures from another pagoda in the town were damaged.
  A resident of Naypyitaw, 225 miles south of the quake's epicentre, said several window panes of the parliament building had broken. The quake was felt in Bangkok, the capital of neighbouring Thailand.
  It comes a week before a scheduled visit to Burma by Barack Obama. He will be the first US president to visit the one-time pariah nation, which is emerging from decades of military rule.
Fisker loses over 300 Karmas in Sandy floods at Port Newark.

  Sun, 11 Nov 2012 14:02
  Port Newark Incident '' Fisker Automotive Follow-Up StatementOn October 30, following Superstorm Sandy, several electric hybrid and non-hybrid cars from a variety of manufacturers caught fire and were damaged in separate incidents after flood waters receded at Port Newark (NJ), including 16 award-wining Fisker Karmas. Port Newark is one of the largest vehicle handling facilities in the U.S., and many thousands of vehicles of many makes and models were severely damaged as a result of the unprecedented flooding.
  After a thorough inspection witnessed by NHTSA representatives, Fisker engineers determined that the damage to the Karmas was the result of the cars being submerged under five to eight feet of seawater for several hours that left corrosive salt in a low'‘voltage Vehicle Control Unit in one Karma. The Vehicle Control Unit is a standard component found in many types of vehicles and is powered by a typical 12V car battery. This residual salt damage caused a short circuit, which led to a fire that heavy winds then spread to other Karmas parked nearby. There were no explosions as had been inaccurately reported. The Karma's lithium-ion batteries were ruled out as a cause or contributing factor.
  The Fisker Karma meets or exceeds all safety requirements for markets in North America, Europe and the Middle East. Fisker Automotive is the leading manufacturer of luxury Electric Vehicles with extended range and will continue to develop and market vehicles that deliver an unmatched combination of style, performance and economy.
Mystery at Port Newark: Why Did 17 Plug-In Cars Burn?

  Amid all the damage left in Hurricane Sandy's wake is an automotive whodunit, or rather, what-dunit? What caused more than a million dollars-worth of plug-in hybrid vehicles, including 16 Fisker Karma luxury sedans, to catch fire Monday night at Port Newark?
  Fisker, based in Anaheim, Calif., has had problems with vehicle fires in the past, including one incident this year that prompted the recall of more than 2,000 Karmas to replace a faulty cooling fan.
  But the circumstances during the big storm were clearly unusual, raising the question of whether this latest incident is a sign of design flaws, of possible risks associated with plug-in vehicles generally or simply a result of the abuses wrought by extremely rare weather conditions '-- or some combination of the three.
  In a separate incident during the storm, three Toyota Prius hybrids at Port Newark also were damaged by fire. ''One Prius out and out burned, the others just kind of smoldered and got really hot,'' Cindy Knight, a Toyota spokeswoman, said in a telephone interview on Thursday. The smoldering cars included a plug-in hybrid Prius and a conventional hybrid Prius. The car that burned was a plug-in. That's three cars out of the 4,000 Toyotas that were at Port Newark during the storm, including more than 2,128 plug-in or hybrid models. According to Ms. Knight, the fire ''likely started because saltwater got into the electrical system.''
  ''We can't be certain exactly what happened at the port,'' Russell Datz, a Fisker spokesman, said in a telephone interview. ''But we think being submerged in 13 feet of saltwater had something to do with it.'' The company said the cars were not charging at the time of the fire and there were no injuries.
  Based on photographs of the scene obtained by the blog Jalopnik, Fisker's cars were parked fairly close together, so whatever the initial cause, a fire in one car could quickly spread to others. The cars are made of aluminum, which has a lower melting point than steel, and experts said this would likely contribute to the destruction seen in the photographs. And for any modern cars loaded with electronic components, exposure to saltwater can be a problem because it is highly corrosive and conductive.
  ''Picture a charged AA battery,'' suggested Daniel Abraham, a lithium-ion battery expert and chemical scientist at Argonne National Laboratory. ''If you connect the positive and negative terminals with a wire, it will short the battery and generate tremendous heat in the process.''
  Seawater can act like that wire. ''The conductivity of saltwater is much, much higher than that of freshwater because of all the salt,'' Mr. Abraham said. Salts dissolved in water break into positively and negatively charged ions, which then act as conductors. So if seawater connects both the positive and negative electrical terminals of a battery, it will tend to short.
  ''These were definitely extraordinary circumstances,'' Ms. Knight said. ''Once the salt gets in there, it's ready to do damage.'' Corrosion from the salt can damage wiring, for example, and the harness that holds the wiring, elevating the risk for fire, she said.
  ''This is a very large facility that inspects the vehicles, installs any accessories,'' Ms. Knight said. ''There's seaweed everywhere, all kinds of stuff that came floating in.''
  Although lithium catches fire in water, this volatile reaction would almost certainly not be the culprit here because the lithium is sealed inside the Karma's battery cells, a transportation research engineer who tests plug-in vehicles said in an interview Thursday. ''The fact that these cars have big batteries in them may or may not have contributed to the issue. Any electrical system can short and cause a fire '' it doesn't need a high-voltage battery pack for that to happen.'' He spoke on the condition of anonymity because his employer does not allow members of his team to be named in the media.
  The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey did not respond to questions about the fires.

Obama Evader

  Obama answers questions about the CFR and Patriot Act ... In this video, Obama says that he sees no evidence towards a continental government, yet in other videos he has stated ... "world order that I think we'd all like to see." '' YouTube
  Dominant Social Theme: All of this conspiracy talk is paranoid and unproductive.
  Free-Market Analysis: Thank goodness for the Internet. Even if you are an Obama supporter, this 2008 video should shock you. In it, Obama sidesteps questions about his membership in the elitist Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and professes to be profoundly troubled by then-President George W. Bush's executive orders reducing US constitutional freedoms.
  Today, we know that Obama did nothing to defend US civil liberties once he was put in office. Not only did he not reduce George Bush's most invasive executive orders, he added to them. Notably, Obama created a list of US citizens that his administration believes pose an imminent threat to the nation and should be assassinated via drone targeting if possible.
  It has been pointed out that killing citizens without due process is profoundly authoritarian and violates every aspect of constitutional rights. Dangerous or not, those who the administration believes are an "imminent threat" still are entitled to due process. For some reason, Obama and those who surround him believe they are not.
  What's also troubling, from our point of view, is the reverence with which the audience treats Barack Obama, thanking him for not taking "lobbyist" funds (whatever that means) and applauding enthusiastically as he evades one question after another.
  Listen to Obama dodge the real issue '' that he is the globalists' point man in the US, the individual the power elite plans to elevate still higher. There is a reason Obama will not reveal his background; it likely shows quite clearly who he really works for ... and why.
  Now that Obama has been elected again, many of the more profoundly authoritarian agendas that he was reluctant to exercise in his first term may be efficiently and unapologetically deployed.
  One thing we can certainly expect, however: He won't admit to them.

Director-General who turned a blind eye to BBC meltdown - and paid the ultimate price

  Sun, 11 Nov 2012 13:52
  By Ian Gallagher and Abul Taher
  PUBLISHED: 20:27 EST, 10 November 2012 | UPDATED: 05:08 EST, 11 November 2012
  George Entwistle's resignation last night came amid claims that he simply lacked the 'grip' to oversee the BBC.
  Mr Entwistle quit after admitting yesterday he had not even been aware that BBC2's Newsnight was about to link a senior Tory to child sex abuse ring.
  Appointed in the summer, his short reign overseeing the Corporation's vast empire lasted less than two months '' he only moved into the director-general's office on September 17.
  Last night, media commentator Steve Hewlett said Mr Entwistle '' previously director of the BBC division with responsibility for all the Corporation's television channels '' had not appeared to be 'in control' of what was going on around him.
  Scroll down for videoI quit: George Entwistle, left, makes his resignation statement last night with BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten
  Mr Hewlett said: 'The critical thing that's done for him is the sense that he's just not got a grip.'
  Mr Entwistle had already been dubbed 'incurious George' after his failure to ask what Newsnight's now famously cancelled investigation into Jimmy Savile was all about.
  And the crisis deepened last night as it was claimed that the former director-general personally intervened to axe a Panorama investigation into two newspaper tycoons, which was due to be aired tomorrow.
  According to well-placed BBC sources, Mr Entwistle ordered the programme on Daily Telegraph owners Sir Frederick and Sir David Barclay to be pulled as he believed it was 'risky' '' but did not fully explain what he meant.
  It will be replaced by a documentary about badgers.
  Mr Entwistle's departure comes in the wake of more revelations about Newsnight's false claims about the North Wales paedophile ring:
  A senior journalist working with the programme sparked furious internet speculation about the senior Tory said to be implicated into the scandal by posting a tweet while under the influence of 'potent medication'.The BBC was warned hours before broadcast that it hadn't put the allegations to the political figure, now known to be Lord McAlpine, and that he would sue if anyone linked him to the abuseMr Entwistle said he missed all the warning signs, and the programme itself 'because he was out'.The former director-general yesterday told Radio 4's Today programme that, despite being editor-in-chief of the BBC with final responsibility for broadcasts, he does not 'sign off' every programme.
  IN THE FIRING LINE?
  Head of news: Helen Boaden
  Newsnight editor: Peter Rippon
  Radio 5 Live controller: Adrian van Klaveren
  However, with the Corporation being engulfed by scandal after scandal, he apparently took the decision to veto tomorrow's investigation into the notoriously reclusive Barclay brothers.
  The BBC has refused to reveal the contents of that film, but it involved a six-month investigation led by the veteran reporter John Sweeney.
  Mr Entwistle's intervention had left Panorama staff behind the investigation feeling 'bleak,' said one source close to the programme.
  A source in the BBC said: 'There was no personal communication between him [Entwistle] and the Panorama team. But he told his lieutenants, who told us that the programme is not strong enough and the risk is too high.
  'That's his judgment. Others, in fact everybody, disagree with him.'
  The makers of Panorama are now understood to be in a fierce internal argument with BBC executives in the hope of broadcasting the programme at a later date.
  A BBC spokesman declined to comment on any decisions regarding Panorama, but tomorrow's episode will now be about the Government's aborted plan to cull badgers.
  Investigation axed: Instead of showing a programme about the Barclay brothers, a show about the Government's aborted plan to cull badgers will be aired
  It is likely to prove less contentious than the Newsnight film implicating Lord McAlpine that plunged the BBC into its latest crisis '' a crisis that stated with an ill-considered tweet from the editor of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism Iain Overton who had been working with Newsnight on the report into child abuse in North Wales.
  At 11am on the day of the show, November 2, he posted an explosive tweet saying: 'If all goes well we've got a Newsnight out tonight about a very senior political figure who is a paedophile.'
  The message prompted an immediate frenzy, and led to the BBC being bombarded with calls from journalists seeking clarification.
  In particular his words were seized upon by Newsnight's former political editor Michael Crick, who told Overton that the politician concerned had not been contacted about the allegations.
  Last night a source said Overton has been taking 'potent medication' for a recently diagnosed serious illness and that this, in part, had led him to tweet 'unwisely'.
  The source added that his Twitter post was something he 'deeply regretted'. But although he later erased the tweet, the damage was already done.
  That evening Crick appeared on Channel 4 News to warn that the 'senior Tory' was planning to sue anyone who linked him to paedophilia. As we now know the politician in question was Lord McAlpine, but at the time Crick was unable to name him for legal reasons.
  LEVESON LINK TO FREELANCE TEAM USED BY NEWSNIGHTThe calamitous Newsnight report was conducted by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, which '' ironically in the circumstances '' was set up to counter the perceived decline in investigative reporting by the mainstream media.
  The not-for-profit body is funded and supported by a network of media and City grandees with links both to the Hacked Off campaign against press intrusion and the Leveson Inquiry into media ethics.
  Its trustees include Sir David Bell, who was the chairman of the Media Standards Trust when it spawned the Hacked Off campaign to help 'victims of press abuse'. Three weeks after launching the campaign Sir David stepped aside to sit on the Leveson Inquiry.
  The McAlpine investigation was carried out by the bureau's lead reporter, Angus Stickler, an ex-Newsnight reporter who also worked on the Today programme.
  The bureau's editor, Iain Overton, has a distinguished track record as a commissioning executive at ITN and a senior producer at the BBC.
  But it was his Twitter message 12 hours before the Newsnight broadcast, which talked of 'a very senior political figure who is a paedophile', that prompted a torrent of speculation on the internet and precipitated the current crisis for the BBC.
  But while half the nation had been drawn into the intrigue, Mr Entwistle was apparently oblivious.
  He missed the Twitter meltdown, the warning from Crick and, indeed, the Newsnight programme itself. 'I was out,' he told Radio 4's Today programme.
  Despite his illness, Overton spoke at the Oxford Union the night before the Newsnight programme was broadcast. Afterwards he boasted that the following evening's programme was going to expose a top Tory as a paedophile. Crick, who was also present, is said to have asked: 'Do you mean McAlpine?' Overton replied: 'Well, you said it.'
  Over at the Newsnight offices there was 'intense concern' over the planned programme and the decision to make a dramatic claim on the basis of a single source.
  There was anger too that, in the words of one highly-placed insider, the BBC 'hierarchy appeared to be asleep at the wheel'.
  Despite McAlpine's repeated denials to Crick in the hours leading up to Newsnight's broadcast, nobody from the BBC ever contacted the former Tory treasurer for a comment.
  A BBC News source has told The Mail on Sunday that on that day there was 'a lot of shouting in the office' between deputy editor Liz Gibbons, currently in charge of the programme, and two other journalists over whether to run the story.
  It appears Adrian van Klaveren, the controller of Radio 5 Live who was last month drafted in to bolster the BBC's news management structure, signed it off.
  Last night Overton appeared to be considering his position. Having tweeted that the trustees of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism were 'appalled at what appears to be a breach of its standards', he added: 'I will make a statement once I have met the Trust.'
  Humphrys to his boss: 'You should go, shouldn't you?'Outgoing BBC director-general George Entwistle was yesterday involved in an extraordinary exchange with veteran presenter John Humphrys on BBC's flagship Radio 4 Today news programme.

  During a tense, 15-minute interview, Mr Entwistle defended his apparent lack of awareness of the Newsnight programme in which Lord McAlpine was wrongly accused of being involved in a child abuse scandal. Here are excerpts from the transcript:
  JH: But you must have known what happened because a tweet was put out 24 hours beforehand telling the world that something was going to happen on Newsnight that night that would reveal extraordinary things about child abuse and that would involve a senior Tory figure from the Thatcher years. You didn't see that tweet?GE: I didn't see that tweet, John, I now understand...JH: Why not?GE: Well I, uh, I check Twitter sometimes at the end of the day or I don't check it at all.JH: You have an enormous staff of people who are reporting in to you on all sorts of things '' they didn't see this tweet that was going to set the world on fire?GE: Now John, this tweet, I'm afraid, was not brought to my attention, so I found out about this film after it had gone out...JH: Nobody said to you at any time or to anybody on your staff who would then report to you, ''Look, we've got this Newsnight film going out '' Newsnight should already light a few bulbs with you surely but '' we've got this film going out that is going to make massively serious allegations about a former senior political...'' Nobody even mentioned it?GE: No.JH: Isn't that extraordinary?GE: Well, um, in the light of what happened here, I wish this had been referred to me, but it wasn't and I have to... I run the BBC on the basis that the right people are put in the right positions to make the right decisions. Now, in this case the film was not signed off in Newsnight, legal advice was involved, it was referred to the right places in news management and further referral upwards was made...JH: So, when did you find out?GE: I found out about the film the following day.JH: The following day? You didn't see it that night when it was broadcast?GE: No, I was out...JH: But you have seen the film now I take it?GE: Yes, I have seen the film now...JH: When did you learn that there were doubts about [Mr Messham's] testimony?GE: I only found out yesterday when I saw him make his apology to Lord McAlpine that there must be doubts about his testimony.JH: And you didn't ask any questions during the course of the week? Because questions began to be raised very early on in the week as you know.GE: No, John, I didn't.JH: Do you not think that you should have?GE: I um... I... there are... the number of things that there are going on in the BBC mean that when something is referred to me and brought to my attention I engage with it...JH: We now know Newsnight has failed massively on one programme and it has failed massively on another programme and it's caused the BBC enormous damage. You, as you say, as Editor-in-Chief, are ultimately responsible. Therefore it leads to the obvious question: You should go, shouldn't you?GE: No John, I've been appointed the director-general, the director-general isn't appointed only if things are going to go well, the director-general is appointed to deal with things which go well and things which go badly...JH: Have you given any thought to shutting down Newsnight?GE: No, I haven't John...

Jared Lee Loughner sentenced to life in prison for Arizona shootings. (video)

  The former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is seen leaving court on Thursday after attending the sentencing of Jared Loughner. Link to this videoThe man who pleaded guilty to shooting the former US representative Gabrielle Giffords, in an attack that left six dead and 12 others injured, has been sentenced to life in prison.
  US district judge Larry Burns sentenced Jared Lee Loughner, 24, on Thursday to seven consecutive life terms plus 140 years in prison for the January 2011 shooting.
  Loughner pleaded guilty to federal charges under an agreement that guarantees he will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole.
  The hearing marked the first time victims including Giffords could confront Loughner in court. Her husband spoke on her behalf, saying Loughner changed his wife's life forever but could not dent her spirit.
  Addressing the court Giffords' husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, told Loughner he had failed in his attempt to "extinguish the beauty of life". Giffords suffered a head wound that left her with speech difficulties, a paralysed right arm, diminished sight and a limp.
  Kelly used the occasion to take a political swipe at Arizona governor Jan Brewer, a staunch gun-rights advocate, criticising her for speaking out against proposed restrictions on high-capacity ammunition magazines, like the ones Loughner used, in the aftermath of the shooting.
  "Jan Brewer said it had nothing to do with the size of the magazine '... She said this just one week after you used a high-capacity magazine," Kelly said, also noting that she named a "state gun" weeks later instead of "fixing the education system".
  Loughner, asked at the outset of the hearing by Judge Burns if he had chosen to waive his right to make a statement, answered in a low voice: "That's true."
  He was otherwise silent as he sat next to his lawyer, Judy Clarke.
  Giffords stood by her husband's side, looking impassively at Loughner as Kelly addressed the defendant directly. "You may have put a bullet through her head, but you haven't put a dent in her commitment to make the world a better place," Kelly told him.
  "Although you were mentally ill, you were responsible," he added. "You have decades upon decades to contemplate what you did, but from this moment, Gabby and I are done thinking about you." Giffords did not speak.
  Several survivors of the shooting also gave statements in court, including Giffords' former congressional aide Ron Barber, who also was wounded.
  Speaking to Loughner's parents, Amy and Randy, who were in court, Barber said: "Please know that I and my family hold no animosity toward you, and that I can appreciate how devastating the acts of your son were."
  Loughner pleaded guilty in August in federal court to 19 charges, including murder and attempted murder, in connection with the shootings outside a Tucson area supermarket.
  He admitted going to a "Congress on your corner" event armed with a loaded Glock 19 pistol and 60 additional rounds of ammunition with plans to kill Giffords.
  Loughner shot her through the head at close range. Six people were killed, including US district judge John Roll and nine-year-old Christina-Taylor Green.
  Loughner also admitted shooting the others with the intent to kill.
  Court-appointed experts said Loughner suffered from schizophrenia, disordered thinking and delusions. He was determined unfit to stand trial in May 2011 after he disrupted court proceedings and was dragged out of the courtroom.
  Loughner later was ruled mentally competent to stand trial after being treated for psychosis at a US bureau of prisons psychiatric hospital in Springfield, Missouri. He then agreed to plead guilty.
  Few clues to the motives for the attack have emerged. Prison psychologist Christina Pietz has testified that Loughner had expressed remorse for the rampage and especially for the nine-year-old girl's death.
  Giffords resigned from Congress in January to focus on her recovery.
  Barber served out the rest of her term after winning a special election. Barber ran in Tuesday's election for a newly created congressional district in Arizona and was running neck-and-neck with Republican Martha McSally, with the outcome hanging on 80,000 provisional and early votes that have yet to be tallied.

  Summary: While Windows Live Messenger was ad-supported, it barely generated any money. Enter the business case and the merging of users, and Microsoft has a potential cash-cow on its hands.
  The death of Windows Live Messenger is nigh -- in another life known as MSN Messenger -- but Microsoft is holding on to its 100-million-plus users by migrating them to Skype.
  Why? Messenger was dying, its user base was dwindling, Skype is getting stronger by the day, and it's generating millions in revenue. Microsoft had two services on its hands and more than 100 million users to spare, and killing a service without a path or direction to channel those users could -- heaven forbid -- land in the competitor's hands.
  Messenger was making a fraction of Skype's revenue by comparison, and Microsoft wants to start generating its $8.5 billion back that it spent on the Skype purchase in the first place.
  It's all about the money. Sorry, users. You're on the back seat on this.
  By shifting its entire base of consumer and small-medium sized business (SMB) users on a single instant messaging and voice platform that's proven to be stable, popular, and on the most part free, Microsoft can open up above all the opportunity for users to exploit the 'freemium' model that Skype offers.
  Because... Skype isn't free. It is for certain things -- one of the main reasons why the service so popular -- but under the belly of its free features offers a wealth of services that cost the end user. This guarantees a steady stream of revenue for Microsoft in long-term payments for premium services, like online numbers and business accounts, and the increased user base from former Messenger users only expands that opportunity.
  While at its peak, Windows Live Messenger had more than 300 million users, it fell out of favor with the crowds. It now has "100+ million," according to Microsoft, a drop by two-thirds in the space of three years. Messenger was a sinking ship after the 'death' of Windows Live.
  While Messenger was still generating some money through its ad-support, it wasn't generating nearly as much as Skype did. But customers ultimately migrated to private Facebook chat and public Twitter communications, while Microsoft dished out Lync, its enterprise-friendly platform for business clients.
  Messenger users were simply left out to pasture.
  Skype, on the other hand, currently draws in 40 million online people at peak times. Microsoft snapped it up last year and turned it into a Microsoft division, but while it was ticking away on its own, generating modest sums of revenue, Messenger was sinking into the mud and hemmoraging users.
  Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices division was up by $276 million, mostly down to the Skype acquisition. Even if we say Skype brought in a conservative estimate of $200 million, that's still a great deal more than a few banner ads in a software program used by only 100 million people would have done.
  But Skype is free. How is it making money?
  Skype-to-Skype calls are free, as are Skype to Facebook and Messenger instant messaging features. What lies underneath is the 'freemium' model of free-to-use but cough up when you want to call overseas, of use the bevy of business features like group video and the like.
  Microsoft also has Lync. In a nutshell, Lync is for use for unified communications inside the firewall, while Skype is for connecting those outside the firewall. Without a definitive date offered as yet, Microsoft says that they will deliver Lync-Skype federation "soon."
  While Skype is currently reserved for those falling in the consumer, and small-medium sized business (SMB) categories, Lync is reserved for business users in the enterprise. Most will go through their working and playful lives without spending a cent on Skype, but for those who use it for business use can do for a price, a low price at that.
  The more customers Skype gets through the Messenger 'transition,' the more features that can be added of a free-to-premium model. One Microsoft top brass suggested the firm could start charging for additional features, such as video archiving and authentication features, adding more corporate appeal.
  It's unlikely that Skype would ever become a wholly premium service -- there would be an uproar -- but bit-by-bit Microsoft can add the features guaranteeing a stable stream of revenue over time.

  Thirty per cent of the American public doesn't believe humans are the cause of our warming planet. There is a simple reason why (with thanks to the Climate Reality Project):
  The fossil fuel industry has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into disinformation campaigns aimed at protecting their profits. So far they've succeeded, at least in part. The US still doesn't have comprehensive climate legislation, and carbon emissions continue to rise.
  But things are changing. A year's worth of extreme weather has made it painfully clear that something is wrong, and the public is beginning to wake up. Help speed up that process by sharing this film with everyone.

  *Note: My children, I have reported to me that there are brats posting commentary about this blog, revealing that they read this blog, but allow poor people to pay for what goes on here as I suffer.What kind of creatures are these who are so shreetard, in being socially retarded that they admit to things like that in public, while lying about Lame Cherry is not always right, when this blog is proven correct constantly for those who allow the events to unfold. Sometimes things posted here actually stop events. Imagine that.I would not bother with such creatures, but the problem is the good name of this blog can not be sullied as that is Biblical in direction in no one should suffer such things. The reality is, I'm Ms. Cherry for purpose and if one can not accept that as my name, then these intellectuals who prowl the internet desperately seeking mental validation, would find some other trigger planted here to complain about.So you comprehend when one reads individuals analyzing what goes on here or putting titles in their names, what one is looking at is an intimidated individual. I must be a man, because they could not deal with a strong woman. They hide behind these "degrees" or armchair lectures, because no one in real life will listen to them as they are bores. That is why they are on internet sites trying to leech on writers who actually have taken the plunge and are putting their lives on the line.This blog frankly ordered them to GO AWAY several times this past summer, as I do not want these worthless rags on this site reading information and then repeating it as their own when it is popular and suddenly becoming always experts when they think something has not come about as Drudge has not posted on it.Creatures who are too damned cheap, literally damned cheap, to donate, are the fodder of America as like the Professor on Gilligan's Island the hunter of the prey would have them in the bag before they figured out their next move.I will repeat, I do not want you brats here. You do not have permission to quote nor to use my name. Go stalk about on monetized sites like Ulsteman as he likes the traffic flow and then wait for one of the Insiders to post something about 70% correct.You do realize the "intellectuals" are here for the porn pretending they read the articles.
  I have become fascinated with Barack Hussein Obama as the chameleon has revealed something about hisself in ANALGATE and BOXGATE which has now formed a pattern which is pretty.
  Barry Chin has been extremely busy while eating Cheetos and that part fascinates me, as from the start this blog analyzed correctly that Barack Obama is not stupid. He is street thug brainbuster in character, but not intelligent. He is someone who knows how to mirror people to get them to agree with him and he knows how to be on a leash to make people like Jarrett and Axelrod trust him to follow orders.
  The patterns of Barack Obama which were exclusively broken here fascinate me, as I have never come across anyone who exhibits the pattern of Pharoah, which is a condition defined here as Obama has a compulsion and obsessive drive to replace people he deems successful with hisself.Barry Chin has always been a little runs like a duck mental retard foreigner, and knows he can not measure up to America. His vision was one of replacing Jesus, Ronald Reagan, Martin King and George W. Bush, all melded into replacing 9 11 and the nationalist leaders of Islam in Khadaffi, Ahmadinejad, Assad, Mubarack and bin Laden so he can validate hisself as the Osseiran merchant come to power in the mercantile west.
  It fascinated me listening to his election theft acceptance speech as Obama was raging in tones which sounded exactly like a speech George W. Bush would give to America. Barack Obama has explicitly been engaged in "not and Obama regime" but in starting a George W. Bush second term on some mind warped dope head reasoning.Obama has been begging for the military he has murdered to now love him.
  Could there be guilt in Obama? Yes, but there could also be the reason that he has been threatened by key individuals in military assassination squads and was why Obama fled to the White House Rose Garden until a deal was worked out to pacify those elements, who will be eliminated in time behind the scenes.
  Everything about election theft day 2012 was about Obama from his 9 11 replacement in Benghazi ANALGATE in his failed hostage taking and rescue, down to the flipping of Florida to replace Al Gore in what was supposed to be this grand drama which Obama had scripted, but people figured out by midnight after reading here from the first that Obama stole this election and Romney was toast.
  Consider that my children in how Obama's mind really works. It is a mind which he just does not want to win an election by theft. No Mr. Chin desires to steal elections and do it so in the same shadow patterns of previous history so he can replace that history with his own.I have made mention here how Pharaohs were notorious for chiseling off previous leaders names and putting their names on the monuments. From Christ to Al Gore now, that is what this shadow signature of Obama is in being the precursor to the anti Christ. Obama is taking away all the American history of his 50 plus year memory and he is becoming that history.
  This foreign agent is going to have all sorts of things to memorialize hisself and it will just not be in America, but it will be globally, and that means his legacy of disarming Jews and Persians of nuclear weapons as he has had scripted from the start.
  Obama has been building nuclear bombs for Iran. Obama has been driving up gas prices destroying America to utter ruin. Obama has been destabilizing thee entire world, all of his "legacy" when he deems he will step in as thee Chin of Peace. It is insane if something goes wrong which it will as it will mean the Great Eurasian War with America and as this blog exclusively predicted all the fertile areas of Europe and Asia will face WMD scorched earth under Obama.
  The reality is from the complete media blackout on Scytl with key Michelle Malkin elements vouching for vote theft machines, which literally are proven to have been spitting out Oabma votes when voted for Romney, that Barack Obama stole another election. He stole the election for US Senate and then stole two Presidential elections. He did not do this alone, but had the complicity of the same people who had Muslims flying planes into the Twin Towers and were short selling on the stock market and never were prosecuted by George W. Bush.For all the power the Rovians have, they still are not on the scale of the old aristocrats of Europe, and that is who stuck Obama at 1600 Penn Avenue. Only this blog has taken this further up the chain beyond the Rothschild financiers. What 2012 highlighted was the feudal state elected now forever, because there is not any way that anyone is ever going to be allowed to have paper ballot counts again.
  If you recall this blog was pressing for the GOP to not allow cross over votes to put Romneycrats in power. Yet Levin, Limbaugh and Hannity did nothing in bringing this up.I can tell you exclusively that Rush Limbaugh was told to stand down in 2008 as he knows all of this, and that is why the fire has been removed from what he does. He knows he will have it all taken from him and his blondeberry minder will probably inherit that fortune with it soon being donated to the liberals like John Heinz as the blonde marries some democrat perv.
  The election software as this blog has revealed is based upon the original Scytl codex which interestingly was how to win at casino gaming in trends. Algorithms can indeed rewrite in radar waves and can be influenced by human auras as has been proven. What Scytl is on the cusp of and why the creator was murdered over the discovery is election software was run to monitor trends as in casino gaming. A definite amount of "winners" would be allowed to keep the people spending money. The winners would be linked to the numbers of people putting cash flow into the casinos to herd spending.What Scytl voting did was to take that and create nuance pulses which would monitor voting trends, suppress voters to match people voting, all in order to steal elections in thee exact numbers as were designed. It did not matter where the elections were or on what systems, nor on paper ballots as the electronic reporting is what was being reported.
  The reality is even the paper trail was being rigged in sufficient numbers to hide all of this. This is not an American Boxgate alone. This has been taking place in limited scope since 2004 at least. It simply is now being graduated for complete control as Democrats like Kevin Yoder of Kansas turn Republican to be elected and then keep Obama in power as the GOP.This Boxgate is not going to allow any more Tea Party disassembly of candidates in primaries. It is a reality that the control is not just going to be UN law enforcement in local communities, but the reality of minders in every community "thinking they are going bring something Obama better" as it is their own idea.
  It was stunning to hear Obama talking so glowingly of the military and his Chicago crowd going nuts over them, when they were Bush baby butchers just a few years ago.
  Election software company Scytl on the run from the Free Press ...www.freepress.org/departments/display/19/2012/4755Oct 23, 2012 '' Election software company Scytl on the run from the Free Press, from one ... The Free Press has previously reported, Scytl, a Barcelona based ...PDR files, just like Mr, Obama's smiling face birth abstract. All electronic and all "she's laughing at the joke and you're too slow".The powers that be Obama are very concerned about anyone looking at the vote theft, and that is why all the information has been shut down. Not one report can be found in anyone interviewing who wrote the software for Scytl, Sequoia or SOE. This is a Mockingbird operation type in the feudal intelligence groups literally figured out they can speed up their world order by just stealing elections the new fashioned way.
  Unless someone reports on it and states Obama is illegitimate, the masses will not believe their own conclusions......and there is always a Michelle Malkin vouching for Scytl along with the class stooge appearing on various message boards questioning the information posted here, and Obama stays in office as an election fraud.
  Scytl: Voter Fraud Facts and Fiction - Michelle Malkin - [page]townhall.com/columnists/michellemalkin/2012/05/.../scytl.../full/May 9, 2012 '' FACT: In January 2012, Scytl acquired U.S.-based SOE Software. SOE writes " election management" programs that assist officials with ...Yes your most trusted writers in May signed off on a Barry Chin election theft as much as Jack Cashill at WND signed off on Obama election theft. Malkin did it on payment. Cashill did it as he was not intelligent enough to comprehend what the vote codex was accomplishing.Mitt Romney won 2012 just as John McCain and Sarah Palin won the Presidency in 2008. The literal opposition across the globe has won every election, but Scytl installs the communists instead.
  On election eve, Barack Hussein Obama gave Dr. King's I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH. While Obama is not going to carve his face onto Dr. King's monument, there will be a Mugabe time this fraud will begin putting up his little Stalin monuments.Harry Reid in his hands across the aisle was the start in making the GOP obstructionists or full blown Obama whores. That is what this has been telegraphed in Obama will be the great uniter in giving crumbs to the GOP has he force feeds a bottle of vodka down the American Virgin to gang rape her again for a new round of brothel service.
  Boxgate as was broken here first on election night and before, another Lame Cherry matter anti matter exclusive.
  Barack Obama is illegitimate. Barack Obama stole the 2008 and 2012 elections. The feudal lords do not put in that kind of effort for just a few trillion in American dollars and an Obama nuclear peace medal. This now reaches complete domination as it has all been set up and is in place.
  By accepting those elections, you have now validated the crime, and by now questioning those elections you are now are criminal.

  You children of sin. Mitt Romney is not going to save you. You are children of adultery and your offspring have been rejected by God. He will not accept you for your sins are unpardonable.
  Listen to the Word of the Lord. You are Hosea's children, cast off, wards of iniquity. You have repeated that which your fornicating and adulterous fathers and mothers have done. Israel is a whoredom and America is her brothel. You have taken the America Virgin Daughter and made her a prostitute of the world. The Whore of Babylon rides upon the beast of empire, but the whore of Israel's daughter is illegitimate in America, Canada, Australia, Iceland, New Zealand, Orange Free State, England, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium, Ireland, France, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Netherlands, all the places where the Lord has sown the remnant, it is now filth, the rags of the prostitute's bed, defiled with stains not even of lust, but the lusts to envy in you have allowed yourselves sowed to the sewer and you are a sewage incarnate nation fit for only pollution.
  Hear the World of the Lord, should you expect His Love and Acceptance, when it was you who chose this Herodian foreigner, this Saulite Asian to be your messiah? Think not that your choice of a Mormon is your salvation, for Salvation alone comes from thee Son of God, Jesus the Christ.You are no different than the Jew or the Muslim or the Hindu. You are apostate upon your whores couch and you do not even show shame for a whore's bed. You instead have lifted your skirts in taking yourself to the world to see who would lie with you.
  You are drunken with Obamaness, and you will raise yourself off the gutters into which you have fallen, but think not you have recovered as you on holiday bring yourselves to God to show Him how fortunate He is to have you. No, the Lord God of America will not see you, hear you nor accept you, for you are filthy beyond the new cloth you have put on, your sin is tattooed to your skin and it has leached to the meat and bones under your hides, making you stained to your souls.
  Your hearts are not for the Lord and never will be, therefore the Lord will not be with you perpetuating your illusions and your sins. In Love, the Lord God of the children of the planted Israel will exterminate you and leave your lands a graveyard, of unburied dead, to be merciful to you, lest you commit even more degrading sins.
  Behold a host comes on another horizon to meet your horizon. Peoples of no mercy nor grace. They slaughter you, they rape you, they rip open your women with children and they smash the infant from the mother's arms.Think not this something to recoil you Obama prostitutes and you Romney purchased whores, for it was you who slaughtered God's Spiritual and physical nations. It was you who could not spread your legs nor mount each other in degradation quick enough. It was you who have slain in the womb. It was you who have poisoned his heritage and made the children bound to satan and not to Peace.
  Awake, slumber not, mourn not for you will not. This message is appealing to your vanity, for being rejected as without remedy, you may now indulge in your sin in fornicating and being merry for in the future horizon you die.If you would come with repentance and mourning today, tomorrow your leaders would have you in prostitute's clothes again telling you this is the right way for you to be.
  Children of the Christ, pray that you are found in God's Mercy and Grace to be delivered from the Trouble which Jacob has been burdened with. Think not you are worthy as Lot was filth in Sodom too. Pray God leaves you as His remnant to see the Lord's return.Mourn not for the dead, for they rejoice in their being aborted out of the lands by a foreign hand. It is their choosing. Rather mourn before the Lord that He might lessen the coming blows which will come to balance Righteous against unrighteousness and Justify your Faith against the unjustified in their whoredoms.
  You fight you fight. You fight the wind and you chase it's tail. A whirlwind of God's Wrath will be poured out. You have raped the Virgin Daughter and sent her away with threats of murder as your living witness against you, as the crowds stood watching it all like theater.The resistless storm of God's Fury catches you up in His Wrath for a sentence of execution to the children of sin.You will not be saved for you do not will to be saved. sin is your god and your chosen leaders are not deliverance from sin God can work through, but delivering you into greater sins to which God will Judge.
  God's Mercy, Grace and Loving Kindness be upon the children of Light, in may the prayers of the Holy Ghost, the Intercession of Christ, the Goel of the Father, and the prayers of the Saints of Heaven be heard for them in this time of laying low and this season being laid low. Amen and Amen

Apple iOS Software: Time For An Update

  Sir Jony Ive, the man in charge of Apple's software design
  The Apple backlash is in full swing right now.But it really started this summer.
  In our office, the people who review gadgets started grumbling that iOS was stale. These grumbles were crystallized in Farhad Manjoo's story for Slate titled, "The iPhone is Boring."
  Manjoo wrote, "Apple's mobile platform used to be unquestionably the best smartphone operating system on the planet. Now it feels just as good as everything else."
  When the iPhone 5 came out, Manjoo was singing a different tune, saying, the "iPhone 5 is a Miracle," but it largely based on how great the hardware is.
  His original point stands. Apple's software is getting stale.
  In his review of the iPhone 5, Joshua Topolsky had his harshest criticism about Apple's mobile software, writing:
  "Don't get me wrong, iOS is a beautiful and well-structured mobile operating system '-- but it's begun to show its age. It feels less useful to me today than it did a couple of years ago, especially in the face of increasingly sophisticated competition. I always have this sense now in iOS of not knowing where I am, what my status is '-- constantly having to load things and reload them. It feels tiring."
  And this week, Kontra, a blogger focused on Apple and design wrote about iOS: "Apple software '-- especially its self-declared future, iOS '-- needs some serious overhaul both in aesthetics and experience, and far more in the latter department."
  The good news for Manjoo, Topolsky, Kontra, the people in our office let down by iOS, and really anyone feeling let down by Apple, is that all signs point to 2013 being a big year for Apple and software.
  Think about what has happened to Apple since September.
  On the product side, it released a new iPhone, a new iPad, an iPad Mini, a new iMac, new iPods, and a new laptop, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.
  On the executive side, there was a major shuffle, with Scott Forstall, the former leader of iOS pushed out. In his place, Craig Federighi with take over iOS, in addition to OSX. Jony Ive, who previously led hardware design will lead the look and feel of Apple's software.
  In the press release announcing the moves, Apple titled its release, "Apple Announces Changes to Increase Collaboration Across Hardware, Software & Services." Astute Apple blogger John Gruber believes that's the plain truth. Apple made the executive changes so Apple's various divisions would work more closely.
  Forstall was said to be a divisive figure who didn't play nice with everyone else. By removing him, all the divisions can work together more easily.
  On Twitter, Sammy The Walrus IV notes, "Logic (if there is such a thing) would point to 2013 being all about iOS with only minor changes to Apple hardware."
  The hardware has all been refreshed. Unless Apple releases a TV, which is possible, we're not expecting much on that end. This frees up Apple and its new executive system to target the stale and in some ways broken software that's only been incrementally upgrading for the last few years.
  Of course, with any big change, comes big risks. Look at what happened with Maps. Apple's executives could start tinkering with iOS and ruin it. But, at this point that's a chance Apple has to take. If iOS continues at its current trajectory it will be passed by Android in the software department sooner than later.
  It's not sexy for investors who want to see big beautiful hardware that gets people waiting overnight in big lines. But for the future of Apple it's just as important.

Obama May Levy Carbon Tax to Cut U.S. Deficit, HSBC Says - Bloomberg.
  Link to Article
  Wed, 07 Nov 2012 18:14
  Barack Obama may consider introducing a tax on carbon emissions to help cut the U.S. budget deficit after winning a second term as president, according to HSBC Holdings Plc.
  A tax starting at $20 a metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent and rising at about 6 percent a year could raise $154 billion by 2021, Nick Robins, an analyst at the bank in London, said today in an e-mailed research note, citing Congressional Research Service estimates. ''Applied to the Congressional Budget Office's 2012 baseline, this would halve the fiscal deficit by 2022,'' Robins said.
  Hurricane Sandy sparked discussion on climate protection in the election after presidential candidates focused on other debates, HSBC said. A continued Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives means Obama's scope for action will be limited, Robins said. Cap-and-trade legislation stalled in the U.S. Senate after narrowly passing the house in 2009.
  North American discharges fell 1.3 percent last year amid slowing economic growth. In China, the world's biggest emitter, greenhouse gases from fuel use rose more than 9 percent in 2011, according to BP Plc (BP/) statistics published on June 13.
  ''Cap-and-trade has been demonized'' and Obama probably won't seek to install such a program in his second term, Richard Sandor, founder of the world's biggest carbon trading exchange in Europe, said today at the presentation in London of his book titled Good Derivatives.
  New carbon trading programs in California, China and Brazil may encourage U.S. lawmakers to introduce greenhouse gas trading by about 2020, Sandor said.
  ''We've lost our moral authority in the U.S.,'' he said. ''You haven't here in Europe.''
  Prices in the European Union carbon market, the world's biggest by traded volume, dropped to a four-year low in April on surging supply and flagging demand.
  Obama and the U.S. Congress should consider a carbon tax to help meet the government's looming need for revenue, according to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions in Arlington, Virginia.
  The tax would not necessarily add to the economy's total tax burden, according to Elliot Diringer, executive vice president of the research group. Such a tax may free up space for reductions in company taxes that dissuade employment, for example, Diringer said in an interview from Arlington.
  ''We have lots of need for new revenue to address our challenges,'' which include priorities for conservatives such as extending tax cuts, avoiding deep defense cuts, reducing the corporate tax rate, reforming tax territoriality, and deficit reduction, the group said today in an e-mailed statement.
  ''While Sandy's lessons are still fresh, the president should be clear about the urgency of cutting carbon emissions and strengthening critical infrastructure to protect Americans against the rising costs of climate change,'' the group said yesterday in a separate statement.

Designations of Iranian Individuals and Entities for Censorship Activities Under the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act and Executive Order 13628
  Link to Article
  Sun, 11 Nov 2012 05:58
  Today, the U.S. Department of State reported to the Congress the designations of four Iranian individuals and five Iranian entities for having engaged in censorship or other activities that prohibit, limit, or penalize freedom of expression or assembly by citizens of Iran, or that limit access to print or broadcast media, including by jamming international satellite broadcasts into Iran, and related activities. These actions were taken pursuant to Section 403 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, signed by the President on August 10, 2012, and Executive Order 13628, which the President signed into effect on October 9, 2012. As a result of this action, U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions involving the designated individuals or entities, and all designated individuals and members of designated entities are subject to a ban on travel to the United States. This action also blocks, or freezes, the property and interests in property of designated individuals or entities.
  These actions underscore the Administration's ongoing commitment to hold Iranian government officials and entities responsible for the abuses carried out against their own citizens. Those designated today include Minister of Communication and Information Technology, Reza Taghipour, who has been found responsible for ordering the jamming of satellite television broadcasts and restricting internet connectivity. Also sanctioned are Iran's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance and its Press Supervisory Board, which have limited freedom of expression through their censorship and closure of numerous newspapers and detention of journalists. In addition, we are designating key individuals and entities responsible for assisting the regime in its crackdown on and censorship of the Iranian people.
  Such abuses demonstrate the Iranian Government's ongoing campaign to censor its own citizens, curtail their freedoms, and to prevent the free flow of information both in to and out of Iran. Countless activists, journalists, lawyers, students, and artists have been detained, censured, tortured, or forcibly prevented from exercising their human rights. With the measures we are taking today, we draw the world's attention to the scope of the regime's insidious actions, which oppress its own people and violate Iran's own laws and international obligations. We will continue to stand with the Iranian people in their quest to protect their dignity and freedoms and prevent the Iranian Government from creating an ''electronic curtain'' to cut Iranian citizens off from the rest of the world.

Skype gave data on a teen WikiLeaks supporter to a private company without a warrant: report.

  Skype faces accusations that it handed user data to a private company without a warrantPhoto Illustration by Mario Tama/Getty Images
  Skype's privacy credentials took a hit in July over a refusal to comment on whether it could eavesdrop on conversations. Now the Internet chat service is facing another privacy-related backlash'--after allegedly handing over user data without a warrant to a private security firm investigating pro-WikiLeaks activists.
  The explosive details were contained in a report by Dutch investigative journalist Brenno de Winter, published on NU.nl earlier this week. Citing an internal police file detailing an investigation called ''Operation Talang,'' Winter wrote that PayPal was attempting to track down activists affiliated with the hacker collective Anonymous. The hackers had attacked the PayPal website following the company's controversial decision to block payments to WikiLeaks in December 2010.
  As part of that investigation, PayPal apparently hired the private security company iSight to help find those responsible. Headquartered in Texas and with a European base in Amsterdam, iSight describes itself as a ''global cyber intelligence firm'' that ''supports leading federal and commercial entities with targeted and unique insights necessary to manage cyber risks.'' iSight's Netherlands-based director of global research, Joep Gommers, followed an online trail in an effort to track down the hackers, ultimately leading to a number of Dutch citizens, among them a 16-year-old boy operating under a pseudonym. Gommers reportedly contacted Skype, also a client of iSight, and requested account data about the teenager. According to Winter's report, ''the police file notes that Skype handed over the suspect's personal information, such as his user name, real name, e-mail addresses and the home address used for payment.'' It adds that Skype disclosed the information voluntarily, ''without a court order, as would usually be required.''
  The allegation is a serious one for Skype, not least because its own privacy policy promises that it will not hand over user data without permission ''unless it is obliged to do so under applicable laws or by order of the competent authorities.'' The policy further states that the information will only be provided to ''an appropriate judicial, law enforcement or government authority lawfully requesting such information.'' As a private company, iSight fails to meet these criteria by a considerable distance.
  Skype has issued a statement on the matter, saying that it ''takes its customers' privacy very seriously'' and is undertaking an internal investigation. A spokesperson told me that Skype was working with the private security firm to ''combat spam and malware,'' and admitted that ''it appears that some information may have been inappropriately passed on to Dutch authorities without our knowledge.'' The spokesman added that Skype has taken ''necessary steps'' to ensure this doesn't happen again, though declined to elaborate on what those necessary steps were.
  The key question will now be whether this was an isolated violation or whether other Skype users' data has been handed over to private investigators in separate cases. I emailed Gommers to ask whether there had been other instances where he had been provided information from Skype in the course of his work for iSight, and also contacted PayPal for comment. But neither had responded at the time of publication.
  Earlier this year, I reported that Skype, which was purchased by Microsoft for $8.5 billion in May 2011, had evaded a question on its ability to eavesdrop on calls. The question was prompted by concerns about changes made to its architecture and a patent gained by Microsoft for ''legal intercept'' technology designed to be used with VOIP services like Skype to ''silently copy communication transmitted via the communication session.'' After the story was followedupelsewhere, Skype issued a statement that the architecture changes were not made to facilitate wiretapping'--but failed to address the concerns around the patent. In a blog post written at the time, security researcher Christopher Soghoian said the extent to which governments can intercept the contents of Skype voice calls remained unclear, concluding that ''until it is more transparent, Skype should be assumed to be insecure.'' The latest allegations in the Netherlands will likely only add to that sense of mistrust.
