Counterterrorism Agency: Every Citizen a Suspect
Written by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
Counterterrorism Agency: Every Citizen a Suspect
Regulations recently signed into effect by Attorney General Eric Holder allow the National Counterterroism Center (NCTC) to monitor records of citizens for any potential criminal activity, without a warrant and without suspicion.
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the records that will be subject to seizure and examination by the NCTC include “flight records, casino-employee lists, the names of Americans hosting foreign exchange students and many others.”
Prior to the promulgation of these new regulations, such records were stored on only those citizens suspected of terror-related activity or as part of ongoing criminal investigations.
Furthermore, this information could only be stored for five years; that information will be stored indefinitely, so that the data can be analyzed by federal agents for signs of potential criminal behavior.

Oregon Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley says Americans would be "profoundly appalled" if they knew about secret spying, but California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein disagrees.
Democrats Duel: Sen. Jeff Merkley says Americans would be "appalled" if they knew about secret spying, but Sen. Dianne Feinstein disagrees.
A small, bipartisan group of senators is fighting to stop the extension of legislation they say gives the government access to Americans' private E-mails, text messages, and phone calls.
Time is running out to extend the FISA Amendments Act, a bill that allows the government to spy on individuals outside of the U.S. without a warrant.

KSM Judge Grants Request to Limit Torture Disclosure
"WASHINGTON -- The military judge overseeing the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others accused in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks granted a U.S. government request to limit disclosure of classified information about "sources, methods and activities" used in fighting terrorism.
The American Civil Liberties Union made the ruling public Wednesday, saying in a statement that the judge's decision would prevent the public from learning about "illegal CIA torture."
The written ruling by Army Col. James Pohl also approves the government's request for a 40-second audio delay in relaying proceedings from the military courtroom at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers spent part of a week in October debating how a military tribunal should handle classified and other sensitive information in the biggest terrorism case in U.S. history".

Discussion with Miles Kara about 9/11 air defense
Following the publication of the paper "Anomalies of the air defense on 9/11" (see here: http://www.journalof911studies.com/resources/Schreyer-Vol-33-Oct2012.pdf ) in October 2012 a discussion started between author Paul Schreyer and Miles Kara, former professional staff member of the 9/11 Commisson, assigned to their "Team 8", investigating the air defense on 9/11. Kara also published an article about this in November 2012 (see here: http://www.oredigger61.org/?p=5747 ).
Following the core points of this discussion, based on 7 questions Schreyer raised, published now with the approval of both at 9/11 Blogger and at JREF.

Paul Schreyer: The time of Scoggins´ first call to NEADS - I have it in my paper on page 6, lower part. What do you make of this? When did this call happen?

9/11 Truth activist Mark Graham recently sent a letter to the insurance companies covering the airlines that Larry Silverstein is suing, outlining the fact that the airplanes were not responsible for the complete destruction of the Twin Towers and WTC 7, as is claimed. Currently he is working with two engineers and an architect, who are going to file an amicus curiae brief so that the controlled demolition evidence is put in the record. In this episode of 9/11 Free Fall he discusses it with Andy Steele.

Innocents Betrayed
What is the cost of gun control? Count the number of unarmed innocents murdered by their own "protectors". Governments which pass laws are the most efficient destroyers of not only liberty and property, but of life itself.

What Happens When Guns Are Banned
Before you support a gun ban, consider the consequences. The loss of liberty to defend oneself can be measured in the loss of life.

Arm all adults and see what happens. Allow everyone to become a marksman. If it doesn't work, you can always try to take them away later.
Cops are too far away to be effective. They always get there after the crime.
