Islamic State commander confesses to receiving funding through
U.S. [Yeah, don't forget the
multiple food and weapons drops to I-CIA-SIS, too!] | 28 Jan 2015 | Yousaf al Salafi --
allegedly the Pakistan commander of Islamic State (IS) or Daish -- has confessed
during investigations that he has been receiving funds through the United

Salafi, along with his two companions, during a joint raid in Lahore. However,
sources revealed that al Salafi was actually arrested sometimes in December last
year and it was only disclosed on January 22. "During the
investigations, Yousaf al Salafi revealed that he was getting funding -- routed
through America -- to run the organisation in Pakistan and recruit young people
to fight in Syria," a source privy to the investigations revealed to
Daily Express on the condition of anonymity.
Pentagon documents: Obama to request big defense budget
hike | 27 Jan 2015 | President Barack Obama
will ask Congress for a hefty, almost 8 percent boost for the Pentagon,
including 5.3 billion to equip and train Iraqi soldiers and moderate Syrian
'rebels' to fight create more
Islamic State militants in the Middle East. Obama will ask for 534 billion for
the core budget of the Defense Department -- a 38 billion increase --
according to "pre-decisional" Pentagon documents obtained by The Associated
Press on Tuesday. That means there could be some slight changes when the budget
actually comes out Monday...Another 51 billion would go for overseas military
missions, including 43 billion for ongoing operations in Afghanistan
[to protect the CIA's opi-m production] and
3.8 billion to 'train' Afghan security forces. [Oh-but-another reason
to like on Facebook: I Really Hated Bush but Obama is Actually
Worse.]

war | 28 Jan 2015 | Serious questions have
been raised by the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem about the legality of
Israel's policy of targeting dozens of Palestinian homes during last summer's
war in Gaza - a strategy that led to hundreds of civilian deaths. The report is
the latest alleging serious breaches of international humanitarian law by Israel

residences led to the deaths of 606 people in 70 attacks on homes that it
examined. Among the dead were 93 children under the age of
five.
Islamists greater threat than Nazis - Swedish right-wing
MP | 27 Jan 2015 | The
leader of the far-right Sweden Democrats party has compared Islamists with
Nazis, saying Islamism was perhaps a greater threat for the country. The
statement has caused controversy with various Swedish religious communities. The
leader of the anti-immigration party, Mattias Karlsson, said in interview to
Swedish TV that one must take all ideologies seriously and fight them in every
way. Nazism was "terrible" but Islamist ideology can even be more dangerous for
the world, he said.

French police question
eight-year-old over terrorism comments | 28
Jan 2015 | An eight-year-old boy in France was questioned by police for half an
hour Wednesday after he allegedly made comments in school in praise of
terrorists, police said. The child triggered concern when he refused to take
part in a minute's silence at his school in the southern city of Nice after
Islamist gunmen [allegedly] shot dead 12 people at the Paris offices of the
satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo on 7 January, according to Marcel Authier, in
charge of the region's public security..."In the current context, the principal
of the school decided to report to police what had happened," said Authier, who
stressed no complaint had been filed against the boy.

during a siege in a downtown Sydney cafe was killed when she was struck by
fragments of a bullet fired from a police officer's gun as authorities stormed
in to end the 16-hour standoff, a lawyer told an inquest on Thursday. Katrina
Dawson, a 38-year-old lawyer who was among 18 people taken hostage last month by
a gunman, died after being hit by six fragments of a police bullet that had

told the Glebe Coroner's Court. One fragment struck a major blood vessel and she
quickly lost consciousness, he said.
Spy agency employee was flying drone that crashed at White
House | 27 Jan 2015 |An employee of a U.S.
spy agency has confessed to operating a small drone that crashed on the grounds
of the White House, the agency said on Tuesday, the latest in a series of
incidents that raised questions about the president's security. A spokesman for
the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) said that an off-duty employee
had told the U.S. Secret Service, which guards the presidential home, that he
had been flying the four-propellor drone when it crashed on Monday. The NGA is a
Defense Department agency whose principal job is to analyze photographs taken by
spy planes and satellites.
Documents Show N.S.A.'s Wiretap Moves Before Congress's
Approval | 27 Jan 2015 | A federal judge
ruled in 2007 that the U.S.A. Patriot Act empowered the National Security Agency
to collect foreigners' emails and phone calls from domestic networks without
prior judicial approval, newly declassified documents show. The documents -- two rulings of the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court -- fill in a chapter in the history of the
N.S.A.'s warrantless surveillance program. They show the agency's secret moves
in the months before Congress authorized the spying by enacting the Protect
America Act in August 2007. The disclosure also brought into public view a
previously unknown example of how the surveillance court, which hears arguments
only from the government before issuing secret rulings, sometimes accepts novel
interpretations of the law to bless government requests for spying
powers.
Massachusetts Nuclear Reactor Shuts Down During
Blizzard | 27 Jan 2015 |A Massachusetts
nuclear power plant shut down automatically Tuesday after the blizzard moving
through the region interrupted power flow...The Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in
Plymouth, the state's only nuclear power plant, shut down automatically at about
4 a.m. Tuesday when the electrical connections it uses to transmit electricity
to the grid were interrupted, plant management said in a statement. Output had
already been reduced to 20 percent because of the storm.
Obama administration proposes oil drilling off North Carolina
coast | 27 Jan 2015 | The Obama
administration floated a plan Tuesday that for the first time would open up a
broad swath of the Atlantic Coast to drilling, even as it moved to restrict
drilling in environmentally-sensitive areas off Alaska. The proposal envisions
auctioning areas located more than 50 miles off Virginia, North and South
Carolina, and Georgia to oil companies come 2021, long after President Barack
Obama leaves office. The [insane] plan, which covers potential lease sales in
the 2017-2022 time frame, drew immediate reaction from Capitol
Hill...Northeastern Democrats were expected to outline their objections later
Tuesday to drilling in the Atlantic Ocean.
Arizona monitoring 1,000 people for measles linked to
Disneyland | 28 Jan 2015 | A measles
outbreak in Arizona that originated at California's Disney parks is at risk of
increasing dramatically in size as health officials keep tabs on 1,000 people,
including nearly 200 children who could have been exposed at a Phoenix-area
medical center. Those who haven't been vaccinated are being asked to stay home
for 21 days [even though those who were already vaccinated might have
spread the disease], a standard health practice, or wear masks if they
have to go out in public. State Health Services director Will Humble said it's
possible but unlikely that the number of cases can be contained at seven. [See:
CDC lies: Measles outbreaks confirmed among children
already vaccinated 13 Jan 2015.]
Why is Sharyl Attkisson testifying at Loretta Lynch's confirmation
hearing? | 28 Jan 2015 | If Attorney
General Eric H. Holder Jr. had an enemies list, it might look a lot like the
list of witnesses who will testify at a Senate confirmation hearing for his
potential successor, Loretta Lynch. At least the four witnesses have been called
by Republicans. That half of the list includes not one, but three
people involved in lawsuits against the
administration. And among them, none is more well-known than ex-CBS News reporter corporate fraud Sharyl
Attkisson, who is a household name among many conservatives.
Supreme Court Halts Oklahoma Execution of Richard Glossip, Two
Others | 28 Jan 2015 | The U.S. Supreme
Court issued stays of execution Wednesday for three Oklahoma death-row inmates
whose challenge to the state's lethal-injection formula will be heard in the
spring. The prisoners include Richard Glossip, who had been scheduled to die
Thursday night and whose cause has been championed by prominent
capital-punishment opponent Sister Helen Prejean. For the first time since 2008,
the high court has agreed to hear a challenge to the legality of lethal
injection.
