US nutjobs trying to start World War III: 3,000 troops and military hardware from 3rd Infantry Division heading
to Eastern Europe | 9 Mar 2015 | Thousands
of troops and major hardware from the Army's 3rd Infantry Division are heading
to the Baltic region to reassure NATO allies fearful of Russian aggression,
according to the Pentagon. Approximately 3,000 soldiers from the division's 1st
Armored Brigade Combat Team are bringing approximately 750 vehicles and pieces
of heavy equipment with them, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles,
artillery pieces and helicopters. The gear arrived Monday via ship in Riga,
Latvia, Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren told reporters.
US to Conduct Observation Flight Over Russia | 10 Mar 2015 | US and Czech military experts are expected to
conduct a surveillance flight over Russia as part of the Open Skies treaty
between March 9-14. Since 2002, Russia, the United States and a number of other
signatories to the Treaty on Open Skies have allowed a limited number of
observation flights over their turf. International agreements set the number of
flights, the type of surveillance equipment on board and airports that can be
used.
Zarif to U.S. senators: You are ignorant of international law
| 10 Mar 2015 | The Iranian foreign
minister on Monday reacted to an open letter to Iran's leaders by 47 U.S.
Republican senators [Grade 'A' sociopaths] who had warned
Tehran that any nuclear deal that the Islamic Republic signs with President
Barack Obama's administration won't last after Obama leaves office. Mohammad
Javad Zarif said the letter lacks "legal validity" and shows that the
signatories of the letter are "ignorant of international law." "In our view this
letter has no legal validity and is just a propaganda scheme," Zarif
noted.
Senate GOP's Iran letter sparks American outrage, #47Traitors Twitter
trend | 10 Mar 2015 | Twitter has turned on
the nation's 47 traitors. Outraged Americans on Tuesday blasted the overwhelming
majority of Senate Republicans for sending a letter to Iran's leaders, sparking
a top trending #47Traitors hashtag on the social media site following the Daily
News' front-page coverage of the unprecedented missive. Others took to social media to
individually list the renegade lawmakers who sent an open letter to Iran's
leaders warning them that a future President "could revoke" any nuclear deal not
approved by Congress. The News condemned the dangerous treachery in Tuesday's
scathing editorial -- and a chorus of patriots chimed in.
Letter by Republican Senators to Iran is 'unusual' and 'dangerous,'
Obama, Biden and other Democrats say | 9
Mar 2015 | Senate Republicans who sent a letter to Iran's leaders in an
unprecedented attempt to undermine nuclear talks are siding with America's
enemies, President Obama and Senate Democrats charged Monday. "It's somewhat
ironic to see some members of Congress wanting to make common cause with the
hard-liners in Iran," Obama told reporters Monday. "It's an unusual coalition."
Senate Democrats went further. "Let's be clear," Minority Leader Harry Reid
said. "Republicans are undermining our commander-in-chief while empowering the
ayatollahs."
Text of GOP Senators' [Loony] Letter to Iran's Leaders on Nuclear
Talks | 9 Mar 2015 | Dozens of Republican
senators wrote an open letter to the leadership of Iran, warning them that any
nuclear deal signed between Iran and U.S. President Barack Obama might not last
beyond his presidency, without Congress signing off on it as well. Here is the
text of the letter.
ISIL youngster shoots dead 'Israeli spy':
Video | 10 Mar 2015 | A video released by
the ISIL Takfiri terrorist group apparently shows a young militant shooting and
killing an Israeli man, claimed by the group to be a spy for Israel's spy agency
Mossad. The group released the 13-minute footage on Tuesday. The victim is shown
in the video identifying himself as 19-year-old Mohamed Said Ismail Musallam and
alleging how he was recruited by Israeli intelligence. The video bore the
hallmarks of the group's previous videos, including its dressing of the victims
in orange jumpsuits.
High-risk terrorism inmates on hunger strike over language ban:
claim | 11 Mar 2015 | (Au) Relatives of
high-risk terrorism inmates being held in the state's most notorious prison
claim the prisoners are on a hunger strike in protest at a new rule preventing
them from speaking Arabic. Prison officials have strongly denied any strike is
taking place and have refuted other claims that Korans and prayer time have been
taken away. On Sunday, NSW Attorney-General Brad Hazzard announced the policy banning 13 "extreme high-risk" terrorism inmates from speaking any
language other than English during family visits, phone calls and in letters.
All visits have also been restricted to non-contact, and previously approved
visitors are being vetted again.
Language restrictions on NSW prisoners deemed 'high risk' despite no
known terrorist threat | 8 Mar 2015 | (AU)
A restriction on prisoners speaking languages other than English has been placed
on "high-risk" inmates in NSW despite the state government acknowledging there
is no known terrorist threat coming from inside the cells. Attorney-General Brad
Hazzard said on Sunday that 13 prisoners, who are linked to terrorism, had been
identified as "extreme high risk restricted" and would have language
restrictions placed upon them. The restrictions are designed to prevent the
prisoners from co-ordinating or inciting terrorism from jail, Mr Hazzard
said.
Supreme Court rejects cases on Guantanamo prisoner
treatment | 9 Mar 2015 | The Supreme Court
on Monday spurned two appeals involving U.S. treatment of Guantanamo Bay detainees prisoners, barring a
Syrian man from suing the United States over alleged torture and blocking the
release of images purported to show evidence of a Saudi man's mistreatment. The
justices in both cases left intact lower-court rulings in favor of the U.S.
government...Separately, the court handed a victory to the CIA by declining to
take up a case in which a Washington-based civil liberties group, the Center for
Constitutional Rights, was seeking access to videos and photographs of another
prisoner, Saudi citizen Mohammed al-Qahtani.
NSA sued by Wikimedia, rights groups over mass
surveillance | 10 Mar
2015 | The U.S. National Security Agency was sued on Tuesday by Wikimedia and
other groups challenging one of its mass surveillance programs that they said
violates Americans' privacy and makes individuals worldwide less likely to share
sensitive information. The lawsuit filed in federal court in Maryland, where the
spy agency is based, said the NSA is violating U.S. constitutional protections
and the law by tapping into high-capacity cables, switches and routers that move
Internet traffic through the United States.
Snowden files: Inside Waihopai's domes | 8 Mar 2015 | The Waihopai intelligence base looks oddly alien and
out of place: huge white "golf ball" radomes like a moon station and silent
buildings within two fences of razor wire, all dropped in the midst of vineyards
and dry hills in New Zealand's Marlborough landscape. Documents about the
Waihopai station leaked by US National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower
Edward Snowden show that the facility is as alien as is seems. Everything inside
the top secret station except the staff is foreign. The electronic eavesdropping
systems, the computer programmes that automatically index and search the
captured communications, and the databases where details of a whole region's
communications are stored: they are all standardised parts of the global
surveillance system run by the NSA.
5 suspects arrested over Nemtsov murder, 1 'confessed' -
court | 8 Mar 2015 | Moscow's Basmanny
district court has arrested five people in connection with the murder of Boris
Nemtsov, a prominent opposition figure, who was gunned down last week. Two
judges are reviewing the charges against the five people brought before the
court by the prosecutors on Sunday. Two of them are Zaur Dadaev and Anzor
Gubashev, who were identified as key suspects in the killing of Nemtsov after
their detention on Saturday.
FBI Investigates Purported ISIS Hacks of Several Western
Sites | 8 Mar 2015 | The FBI is
investigating the hacking of several U.S. websites by someone claiming to be
affiliated with ISIS [I-CIA-SIS] over the weekend, which spread to Europe on
Sunday night. Law enforcement and security analysts said they suspected no link
to the Islamist terrorist group, however. "The FBI is aware of the reported
incidents and is contacting the impacted parties," the agency said. In many
cases, local investigators and analysts said they suspected a hoax.
False flag crumbling under idiocy and lies by FBI: FBI testimony in Boston Marathon bomb trial pulled apart by
defence --Long morning of embarrassment for the FBI as agent
misidentified Twitter account photo of Grozny as Mecca and tweets falsely
attributed to Tsarnaev were revealed to be jokes from Comedy Central TV shows
and pop lyrics | 10 Mar 2015 | Sparks flew in a federal
courtroom in Boston on Tuesday in the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev – the younger
and only survivor of two brothers accused of perpetrating the 2013 Boston
Marathon bombing – as the testimony of an FBI agent and witness for the
prosecution collapsed under cross-examination by the defence.
Tsarnaev's defence attorney Miriam Conrad surgically deconstructed testimony
given late on Monday by an FBI agent that looked at Tsarnaev's Twitter accounts
– and embarrassed the FBI by showing them to have misidentified a picture of a
mosque in Grozny, Chechnya, as the Muslim holy site of Mecca. [LOL!
*Morons.*] The exposure of that mistake was just part of a long morning
of embarrassment for the FBI, as Conrad poked gaping holes in their
investigation into Tsarnaev's online persona. FBI special agent Steven Kimball
was forced to admit that he did not know that several of the tweets the
prosecution had highlighted yesterday – to damning effect – as pointing towards
Tsarnaev's radicalisation and violence were actually lyrics from pop
songs.
SC National Guard Drills: Humvees Outfitted With Machine Guns for
Door-to-Door 'Wellness Checks' | 9 Mar 2015
| On March 7, 2015, a state-wide drill, entitled Operation Vigilant
Guard, took place under the pretext of preparation
for the inevitable destruction a hurricane would bring to South Carolina...Such
door-to-door "wellness checks" also took place in Overton, S.C. The portion of the drills that were witnessed by
this writer involved a setup of about 9 military tents outside of the Florence,
SC, airport. A number of trucks were present as well as Humvees, many of which
were outfitted with machine gun turrets and machine guns. A sign reading "Region
4: HRF" was posted outside of the airport. HRF stands for Homeland Response
Force and Region 4 represents the FEMA region of the area...Numerous military
vehicles were seen on the streets of Florence throughout the day.
Nearly 15,000 MN turkeys die in avian flu episode; four workers being
monitored | 6 Mar 2015 | A strain of lethal
avian flu is now being blamed for the deaths of nearly 15,000 turkeys in Pope
County, and officials are moving quickly in an attempt to keep it in check. The
Minnesota Department of Agriculture said Thursday that only workers handling the
birds, all from the same commercial flock, are at risk of infection. Minnesota
Public Radio (MPR) reports that four workers who had direct contact with the
infected birds are being monitored by MDH for respiratory illnesses...The U.S.
Department of Agriculture says the finding in Pope County, in western Minnesota,
is the first appearance of the highly pathogenic H5N2 strain in the Mississippi
flyway.
Hillary Clinton: Private email set up for
'convenience' --Hillary Clinton: 'I
thought using one device would be simpler; obviously it hasn't worked out that
way.' | 10 Mar 2015 | Hillary Clinton has told reporters she used
private emails out of "convenience" during her time as secretary of state. But
Mrs Clinton said it "would have been better" to have two accounts to separate
work and personal emails. The issue of whether Mrs Clinton breached federal
records rules has gained attention as she is expected to announce a run for
president.
Ferguson City Manager Cited in Justice Department Report
Resigns | 10 Mar 2015 | The city manager of
Ferguson, Mo., who a Department of Justice report said was responsible for
overseeing the city's operations as it engaged in racially biased and
unconstitutional policing practices, has resigned. The announcement came during
a City Council meeting here on Tuesday, about a week after the scathing Justice
Department report. The manager, John Shaw, 39, had held the post since 2007. As
Ferguson's chief executive, he is the city's most powerful
official.
Ferguson judge behind aggressive fines policy resigns as city's court
system seized | 9 Mar 2015 | A judge [sic]
in Ferguson, Missouri, who is accused of running a modern-day debtors' prison
while fixing traffic tickets for himself and owing
$170,000 in unpaid taxes, resigned on Monday as state authorities seized control
of the city's court system. Ronald J Brockmeyer stepped down as Ferguson's
municipal court judge after Missouri's supreme court ordered that all the
court's cases be transferred to the St Louis County circuit court, according to
a source who was not authorised to speak publicly about the
decision.
Wisconsin capital marked by third day of protests after police
shooting | 9 Mar 2015 | Activists protested
for a third day in Madison, Wisconsin, on Sunday over the fatal shooting of an
unarmed black teenager by a white policeman, the latest in a string of killings
that have intensified concerns of racial bias in U.S. law enforcement. More than
100 people angry over the death of Tony Robinson Jr. marched through the streets
of Madison toward the capital building on Sunday evening, carrying signs,
beating drums and chanting "The people united will never be
defeated."
As Two Oklahoma Students Are Expelled for Racist Chant, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon Vows Wider Inquiry | 10 Mar 2015 |
As the University of Oklahoma expelled two students Tuesday for leading a racist
song that sparked outrage across the country, the fraternity involved said it
would investigate incidents at other campuses as it faced questions over the
chant's use by members at other universities. Former members of the fraternity,
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, claimed on social media that the same chant was used at
colleges in other states, and University of Oklahoma officials investigating the
episode said they did not believe the song had originated on their
campus.
University of Oklahoma fraternity suspended after racist
chant | 9 Mar 2015 | A video of racist
chant by men alleged to be fraternity brothers at the University of Oklahoma has
brought widespread condemnation and the fraternity's suspension. The 10-second
video features men said to be members of the fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon
(SAE)...The chant appears to be: "There will never be a n--r SAE/There will
never be a n--r SAE/You can hang 'em from a tree, but it will never start with
me/There will never be a n--r SAE." Early Monday, the fraternity's national
organization said the University of Oklahoma's chapter would be
suspended.
Iowa Elementary Students Raising Money to Save Polar
Bears | 10 Mar 2015 | (Urbandale, IA) A
group of 4th grade students at Karen Acres Elementary School are out to save the
polar bears, one stuffed animal at a time. The students say they came up with
the idea after learning about the effects of global warming on polar bears in
class; as ice melts, polar bears are dying, and the students hope to raise m-ney
to save as many as possible. After approaching the principal, the group is
making stuffed polar bears and selling them - along with pins - as a
f-ndraiser.
