Well, if you have ever wondered what an organized criminal association could buy with the trillions of dollars in profits from 75 years of un-taxed income from the sales of narcotics and cannabis, look no further than the Pharmaceutical Industry, the Energy Industry, the Insurance Industry, the Entertainment Industry, the Medical Industry and the Federal Government.
If it acts like MAFIA, looks like MAFIA, steals like MAFIA and lies like MAFIA, chances are really good that it is MAFIA.
Well, I can see politicians scrambling to get on this wagon as fast as their furry little legs will carry them. After all, considering the size of the settlements available when suing a country, the graft chunks and payoffs for willing minions, shills and henchmen should be astronomical in size as well.
Its such a lucrative con, that a politician could get his 120' yacht, summer home in Yosemite, and his Lear Jet all in one single operation and retire before he turns 50!
Looks to me like this is gonna be the wave of the near future.
As far as the effect on the public is concerned - many, many politicians and lawyers and other crooks will be able to reach the top of the capital food chain long before the public becomes aware of the cause and tries to stop it.
In other words, its a perfect five/ten year business plan.
Re: Re: Why the Pentagon should demand the release of the CIA torture report
22 suicides a day and counting.
Perhaps the military has finally decided to use the Cheney Program. Dick always said that the only good soldier was one who died as soon as he was no longer needed on the battlefield, since you don't have to pay dead soldiers.
Of course, Donkey Dick's plan included depleted uranium ammunition as a means to kill the veterans soon after returning home (with a bonus for doctors to cash in on the cancers before the vets died), but it seems the new Fed has come up with a nifty drug cocktail that includes all of those drugs you hear about on TV that warn about the side-effect of "thoughts of suicide"...
When it comes to killing Americans, nobody is better than the US Fed.
Just a guess of course, but methinks that Hayden has a huge portfolio buried somewhere in a desk at NSA HQ, that contains all of his "extra-curricular activities" and just like any other victim of NSA blackmail, he is now doing his level best to support the NSA through his words and actions in the hopes that the NSA will shred that portfolio some day.
"Of course, it won't stop the NSA's defenders from making the same old claims again and again without proof."
Actually, this disclosure should escalate the official "Snowden is a Traitor" claims as well as the number of VIPs making them publicly.
And it may just earn Snowden an Obama-drone.
(I can't help but picture Obama sitting in the Star Trek Room, in the Captian's chair, yelling "Arm Photon Torpedoes", as he watches the drone's final appraoch to target.)
Standard Operational Procedure dictates, "When you're caught in a Very Big Lie, tell it more often and louder and get many very important people to swear it is the truth, so help them gawd."
When you have Meta-Dirt on everyone, its real easy to "convince" VIPs that its in their best interest to lend their support and lie to the public using their best "sincere" face.
Remember, it is these officials and these VIPs whose statements will eventually make up history, and thus form the basis for the truth as it is known to future generations. And it really works. This is why we are always doomed to repeat history's errors.
It is absolutely impossible for the Fed and its tri-letter agencies to admit the truth. Policy dictates that they must escalate and embellish the lie when confronted by truth, regardless of the evidence that supports it.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't the US still running a few dozen "extraordinary rendition" facilities in foreign countries around the globe, where acts of "detention and interrogation" continue to be exercised upon ..... well, who ever it is they have secretly kidnapped and spirited away to these places??
I don't remember any official notification that mentions these US taxpayer funded torture chambers have been shut down.
Hmmmmm.... if the lady believes she has a chance to take Google for a few dozen million via a bogus copyright lawsuit, perhaps she has also convinced a judge somewhere that his assistance in validating the bogus suit will gain him a very large portion of the take, placed in an off-shore bank account for obvious reasons.
Stranger things have happened... and for a lot less money. And judges are no less greedy than failed actresses.
This is a 100% fake report, designed to show how the activities of the NSA are actually doing more harm than good, by forcing the NSA and its sister agencies to perform criminal acts in order to continue spying on their own people.
========================
From Rooters News Dateline March 32, 2014
It is hard to comprehend how the federal tri-letter agencies can participate in such unamerican activities as has been exposed by various means such as the Snowden files, and still maintain the facade that they do no harm - not only to their own employer's credibility, but to the nation's security as well.
As more and more Americans begin to realize that much of what they took for granted as being directives of sound scientific reasoning - such as the national habit of leaving computers on 24/7 - are in reality, social engineering stunts perpetrated by the tri-letter agencies, at the behest of the federal government, designed to give the fed more access to the public's private information, more and more Americans are trying to circumvent such intrusion by whatever means are at their disposal, such as simply turning off their computers whenever they are no longer being used.
And naturally, as more and more American citizens learn to turn their computers off when not in use, the tri-letter agencies have been doing their best to find new avenues into the treasure trove of personal data they have come to feel belongs to them, and to regain control of the army of computers they have been able to access and use secretly for so many years.
Now word comes from un-named sources inside Microsoft, that NSA - in cahoots with MS - has begun using an ingenious bit of sleight-of-hand code to thwart this new trend in common sense among the members of what the Fed considers its private "public" resource base.
Planted via regular MicroSoft updates, a new bit of cool code has been installed in most of the nation's PCs over the last 8-12 weeks, which simply intercepts the user's "power-down" command, and runs a fake shut-down scenario on screen, designed to convince the user that the PC is shutting down, while in reality, the PC is simply switching to "stealth" mode.
The monitor is turned off, the drive light is turned off and any mother board or tower lights are turned off and the computer appears to be indeed totally shut down.
Sleep mode is also mimmicked by the software, if that is the user's normal behaviour.
The code runs a 6 day analysis of the user's normal shut down procedure before instituting its own fake shutdown scenario in order to best imitate the events the user would normally expect to see. Since the lights on modern external modems never really stop blinking on and off, the transfer of data is not apparent to the typical user who believes his computer has shut down.
Once the stealth scenario goes into operation, a shutdown notification is sent to the NSA monitoring station in charge of stealth zombies, as soon as the user initiates a shut-down, so that the spooks' monitoring computers can immediately add the stealthed computer to their army of zombied PCs for use in everything from DDOS assaults on foreign systems to spoofing Tweets on Twitter. The contents of all such zombied computers are of course, routinely scanned for any tidbits of data that can be used to NSA's advantage later.
Since the code is standard Microsoft machine code and installed by the user along with a normal update and runs only after the user has initiated the faked computer termination, it is virtually invisible and impossible for a normal user to detect by any means.
Of course both the NSA and Microsoft have denied such code exists and both claim that the report is entirely bogus. Microsoft has gone so far as to claim that such code is indeed not possible to make, install or run.
It just goes to show you that where there's a will, there is a way, and even if this code is not currently possible or in use, we are certain that it soon will be, if the national habit of shutting off PCs not in use, continues to escalate.
As sincere as the statement sounds, it is still Microsloth and I'm certain that the only thing that has changed is the manner in which they lie to the public.
Its more sincere sounding now.
But, its still a lie.
MS will always do as it pleases first and attempt PR afterwards, but only if it feels the PR skit might have some chance of successfully fooling the public, or if it thinks its absolutely necessary - like this time, since they're hoping to prevent a mass customer exodus.
Normally it would just weather this shit storm for the period of consumer memory - a couple weeks - and then pretend it never happened, but the off-hand manner in which they violated their own privacy agreement, as if it simply did not exist, really spooked the public.
or if the public had even the slightest capacity to direct the path of law .... simply make it the law that any publicly paid company doing public service must make all records of all transactions 100% transparent, immediately upon transaction completion and hold all records for open access by anyone at any time, forever.
This would have the desired effect of keeping private business like the Koch Brothers, completely out of the public service business, because absolutely no modern company, especially one run by the Koch Brothers, will ever allow its transaction records to become public.
Such an action would immediately eliminate most American Corporations over-night, as the public learned of the myriad crimes that constitute common business practices, or business as usual, in America today.
The difference between Modern Business and Organized Crime, is that the Mob ignores the law and uses lawyers after it gets caught to avoid punishment, while Modern Business uses lawyers to bend the laws to suit its needs and to keep from getting caught.
Otherwise, they are indistinguishable one from the other in every other respect.
Merely a continuation the Corporate Fed's plans of putting an end to public dissent on the internet, by the usual tried and true process.
Make a law that says one thing the public is ok with (for the children), and then slowly reinterpret that law's wording to include the things that the law was really designed to stop.
I'm pretty sure that by now, we could publish a book filled with such legislative slight of hand.
As I've said before, NSA and its cheerleaders will never stop calling Snowden a traitor and never admit to their own crimes.
It is these comments by the NSA and its paid and unpaid cheerleaders that historians will record for posterity and that will create - from whole cloth - the history that will become the truth for future generations.
This process; because of its blatant and obvious dishonesty, appears silly and childish at first glance, but it is a tried and true method of rewriting history to protect the guilty and vilify the heroes of the public, creating "examples" to prevent similar future exposes of government and corporate crime, from ever occurring.
Well, if these records have not yet been released, then methinks its time for some good old NSA blackmail letters to prove to certain officials the necessity of a full reversal of this decision, before the public can learn the truth about the For Profit Incarceration Industry.
Amazing how effective blackmail is when you have all the right Meta-dirt on people.
So.... does this mean that Hacking - ie., electronically entering and copying private files from someone else's computer hard drive - is no longer a crime because the owner of the hard drive cannot own the files thereon and the hacker who has copies of them cannot own them either, but like the hard drive owner, only hold them temporarily... or have I misread the whole thing??
So he never actually took any lessons on how to be a terrorist and certainly did not get his diploma, and he never did actually even get to go the Canadian School of International Bad Guys.... all he did was cross the border....
Well there you go. Cut and dried case. Going to Canada is a very serious crime!! Hang the bastard!!
What amazes me is how perfectly intelligent people, can decide that a man would spread lies to make money, yet refuse to believe for one moment that this man may have had an even better deal for a really big haul stashed in a Swiss Account for spreading those lies FOR the Fed or the Big Pharma.
When the doctors discovered that Vitamin D was lowering the number of patients, they set up a skit, where someone "died" from an overdose of Vitamin D and then had it legally banned "to protect the public". I foget exactly long the vitamin was banned for, but they did the same thing with colloidal silver.
And in order to insure illness in the poor and a bonus addition for cancer diagnosis, the source of the long used over the counter remedy for pin worm, round worm and ring worm - the bark of a special oak tree - was eliminated by claiming the tree had a blight that would spread to other trees. The tree was eradicated from North America is just a couple years. Doctors are no longer taught the facts about North American parasitic infections from these parasites, because the lesions they cause on the skin appear to be skin cancer and can be so diagnosed, earning a shit load more money than they were getting from tree bark sales.
