Government spending money on anything is terrible except for the military, naturally

Exactly. Because military is one of the very few things, which is the government's actual responsibility per the Constitution.

Most of the rest is just that — unconstitutional:

I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.

Republicans love them some war boners.

The lost "War on Poverty", which we've been fighting for the last 50 years, has cost us — inflation-adjusted — $22 trillion or, roughly three times more than all actual wars combined since founding of the Republic .

Please, don't hate.

It's a hell of a lot harder to bug every man, woman, and child in the west than it is to intercept and crawl their communications.

Oh really? Nest, Kinect, Smart TV and the Internet of Things suggest otherwise. Not to mention remotely monitoring the ambient surroundings of a smart phone, tablet or laptop with microphone/webcam. It may be difficult to bug everyone, but we're bringing the bugs into our homes willingly (though mostly unknowingly, I think), so it's more concievable than you think.

It is a Republican, who is raising awareness of this issue today — you didn't see it on New York Times' front page, did you?

A "Carrington-level" event nowadays would most likely be much less disruptive, as back then all the early radio and spark gap stuff was well under 50 MHz, which is where almost all of the natural noise winds up in the spectrum. Ever notice, for example you can hear your shaver motor on an AM radio but not an FM one. This is not due to AM vs. FM, (well, it is a little) but mostly due to the fact that AM is about 1 MHz and FM is about 100 MHz, well above the "static line" around 50 MHz.

It would take a much stronger signal than back then to cause the same level of disruption. Not saying that can't happen, but modern radio communications are quite a bit more robust than they were back over 100 years ago.

The concern is not so much about the disruption of radio communications, but the power grid. Our society might not survive a massive, long-term (months or even years) blackout (a huge number of transformers might be destroyed all at once by the induced EMF).

NSA reportedly using radio waves to snoop on offline computers worldwide

"The Times reported that the technology, used by the agency for several years, relies on radio waves that can be transmitted from tiny circuit boards and USB cards inserted covertly into the computers."

"A senior U.S. official, who compared the effort to submarine warfare, told the Times most of the implants are intended only for surveillance and can warn the U.S. about incoming cyberattacks.

"That is what the submarines do all the time," the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the newspaper. "They track the adversary submarines." In cyberspace, he said, the U.S. tries "to silently track the adversaries while theyâ(TM)re trying to silently track you.""

Neat info, thanks! The weblink did not work for me with a "forbidden" error, BTW, but I get the idea. Interesting about the different spectrums for different areas. I did not realize LED lighting systems were becoming so configurable.

Because we have electric heat, I've also thought about doing indoor agriculture with my own kid during the winter with tomatoes, lettuce, and such -- since the cost of electricity for lighting would be essentially free as it just displaces electric heat. A few things that have stopped me are:
* the space it would take up
* equipment costs
* concerns about indoor humidity and mold
* worries about getting on some list related to indoors growers, as in:
http://www.infowars.com/police...
"Apparently Americans who employ hydroponics are the newest targets in an insane "drug war" that has gone from bad to ludicrous since it was first "declared" in the early 1980s."

Instead I sometimes grow bean sprouts which don't take light. But it still bothers me that I could be getting more use out of that electricity before it become heat. I've also though it might be useful to use the electricity to run computers in the winter first and get heat as the byproduct -- too bad I did not mine BitCoin with that power when it was easy.

If the CNN party line is some kind of 'evidence' that 'shows beyond reasonable doubt' to you then you must be really fucked in the head.

You want to be a judge, at least get Kiev to explain a few simple things first, Malaysia released the ATC record of MH370 shortly after it disappeared, so why is Kiev hiding the ATC record of MH17? What is Kiev hiding?

I am not trying to convince you shills, to you censoring truth is just a job, I am just laughing at your foolishness, this is not the good old year 2001 days where you could bullshit your way through by repeating CNN's narrative, the internet is the cat that got out of the bag and NSA/GCHQ are desperately guarding all social media with shills, thinking it can change people's mind.

Americans are afraid to post what they really think after the Prism leak, they don't want to goto gitmo, but don't be fucking stupid, just because you don't see their comments here doesn't mean you shills have convinced them. Independent media such as Veterans Today and Infowars have waken millions of people up.

The "OMG RUSSIA DID IT!!!1111!1!1!!" CNN party line requires total silence regarding Kiev ATC so I know for a fact you shills won't even dare talking about this:

Kiev forced MH17 to fly low

Ukraine authorities instructed MH17 to fly at 33,000 feet

SEPANG: The Ukrainian air traffic control (ATC) did not permit Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH17 to scale 35,000 feet, MAS director of operations, Captain Izham Ismail said on Saturday.

He said MH17 planned to fly at 35,000 feet but according to the ATC, there was other traffic at that time, and the ATC ordered the doomed plane to fly at the next best altitude at 33,000 feet, which was above the restricted altitude.

Kiev forced MH17 to deviate from its usual safer flight path

Was Flight MH-17 Diverted Over Restricted Airspace?

Flight path image

Perhaps the best visualization of what the issue is, comes from Vagelis Karmiros who has collated all the recent MH-17 flight paths as tracked by Flightaware and shows that while all ten most recent paths pass safely well south of the Donetsk region, and cross the zone above the Sea of Azov, it was only today's tragic flight that passed straight overhead Donetsk.

It's hard to detect sarcasm when speaking of this nature about Brittan. The government there already places surveillance cameras in private homes.

There's a good breakdown on infowars about why it won't work:

Most Intel's hardware doesn't ship with vPro, so it's unlikely to be much of a problem. Also, most smart-TVs and the likes still ship with ARM-chips, not Intel.

That won't work.

But you can't just take what's on infowars without a grain of salt, so here's a video on intel's website where they substantiate everything, but with a positive spin

We need open hardware. The hardware being made in the factories is not trustworthy.

For the majority who won't click links and read articles, the gist is, there's a 3G radio antenna and a special dedicated processor inside of your CPU, and it can be used to either take complete control of your device, or to destroy it. All the details are there in Intel's marketing material.

"Secret" 3G Intel Chip Gives Snoops Backdoor PC Access

vPro processors allow remote access even when computer is turned off

Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com | September 26, 2013

http://www.infowars.com/91497/

Intel Core vPro processors contain a "secret" 3G chip that allows remote disabling and backdoor access to any computer even when it is turned off.

Although the technology has actually been around for a while, the attendant privacy concerns are only just being aired. The "secret" 3G chip that Intel added to its processors in 2011 caused little consternation until the NSA spying issue exploded earlier this year as a result of Edward Snowden's revelations.

In a promotional video for the technology, Intel brags that the chips actually offer enhanced security because they don't require computers to be "powered on" and allow problems to be fixed remotely. The promo also highlights the ability for an administrator to shut down PCs remotely "even if the PC is not connected to the network," as well as the ability to bypass hard drive encryption.

"Intel actually embedded the 3G radio chip in order to enable its Anti Theft 3.0 technology. And since that technology is found on every Core i3/i5/i7 CPU after Sandy Bridge, that means a lot of CPUs, not just new vPro, might have a secret 3G connection nobody knew about until now,"reports Softpedia.

Jeff Marek, director of business client engineering for Intel, acknowledged that the company's Sandy Bridge" microprocessor, which was released in 2011, had "the ability to remotely kill and restore a lost or stolen PC via 3G."

"Core vPro processors contain a second physical processor embedded within the main processor which has it's own operating system embedded on the chip itself," writes Jim Stone. "As long as the power supply is available and and in working condition, it can be woken up by the Core vPro processor, which runs on the system's phantom power and is able to quietly turn individual hardware components on and access anything on them."

Although the technology is being promoted as a convenient way for IT experts to troubleshoot PC issues remotely, it also allows hackers or NSA snoops to view the entire contents of somebody's hard drive, even when the power is off and the computer is not connected to a wi-fi network.

It also allows third parties to remotely disable any computer via the "secret" 3G chip that is built into Intel's Sandy Bridge processors. Webcams could also be remotely accessed.

"This combination of hardware from Intel enables vPro access ports which operate independently of normal user operations," reports TG Daily. "These include out-of-band communications (communications that exist outside of the scope of anything the machine might be doing through an OS or hypervisor), monitoring and altering of incoming and outgoing network traffic. In short, it operates covertly and snoops and potentially manipulates data."

Not only does this represent a privacy nightmare, it also dramatically increases the risk of industrial espionage.

The ability for third parties to have remote 3G access to PCs would also allow unwanted content to be placed on somebody's hard drive, making it easier for intelligence agencies and corrupt law enforcement bodies to frame people.

"The bottom line? The Core vPro processor is the end of any pretend privacy," writes Stone. "If you think encryption, Norton, or anything else is going to ensure your privacy, including never hooking up to the web at all, think again. There is now more than just a ghost in the machine."

So, even though people bag FB, it is one of the smartest-run businesses on the face of the planet.

Jee, how much is FB paying you per hour to post this crap. What, they didn't have any spare /. accounts kicking around so they had to post anon?
Are you one of the same shills that is astroturfing on reddit?

http://www.infowars.com/facebook-accused-of-astroturfing-reddit-to-silence-criticism/

Facebook is essentially trying to squash the negative backlash from the community by praising how they will bring Oculus to the next level or some such nonsense. They also claim to not force people onto facebook to game or develop. They say that now while holding a knife behind their back with their fingers crossed. We aren't that stupid.

Oculus was a promising piece of tech for the gaming and VR community. Then FB comes along and dumps 2 billion on them. You think FB is going to spend 2 billion on a VR headset for the gaming community and NOT try to tie it into their social media platform to turn every user into a cash cow?

I wait for yet another shill to come along and tell me how I am overreacting, being childish, selfish, jealous or some other nonsense (or mod me troll). And then they will prattle on about how FB is branching out into other markets and how they "promised" not to tie it to social.

Maybe I am overreacting but I was hoping for a real sincere effort funded by the community and actual gaming companies who give a damn (like Valve) to bring us real VR.

On a lighter note:
The only good thing is they are throwing money at is BtrFS which is a good thing. That is once piece of tech they cant monetize and turn into a cash cow. Though I could imagine having to sign into FB to access my files and you can "like" 2014-03-28_accounting_daily-backup.tar.gz

C doesn't say 15 -5 - 2 as you (I know it's you, you red-light running twat) claimed.

The exact text is 15 - 5 = 10, 10 - 2 = 8. http://static.infowars.com/bin...

And you originally claimed it was wrong, so STFU.

Okay, let's go down the list (note that due to search history and change over time, your results may not match mine):

1) Similar to your original example. This is just getting kids to realize that 14-8 = 14 - (10 + 2 ) = (10-10) + 4 + 2. It only looks confusing because it's presented in a way that's unfamiliar to you.

2) No math issue with Common Core - simply a stupidly bad (racist) wording by a textbook writer - something that current textbooks have plenty of. (BTW. minus 2 points on reading comprehension for those posting the image. "slaves-picking-apples.jpg" versus "oranges" in the image.)

3) Sacrilege! There's more than one way to add two numbers together, and they're all equally valid! What's more, we're asking students to think about why that's the case, instead of just parroting back what the schoolmarm says in a sing-song voice!

4) I'm getting the distinct impression that "common core outrage" means "I do not understand the basic commutative and associative properties of addition". Again, we have different ways of adding and subtracting, this time shown by complexity level. Nothing here is surprising to anyone who remembers how they learned to add and subtract and has at least a passing familiarity with traditional tricks for mental math.

5) Not a math problem, but a question from a parent who's having trouble with helping their child. This I get. We went through the same issues with the "New Math" changes. It's not so much what you're teaching, but that the parents look at their child's homework and get intolerably confused. (Because it's being presented in a way that's unfamiliar to them). The 9+8 problem is obviously looking for 9 + 8 = 9 + ( 9 - 1 ) = 2 * 9 - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17. I'm not sure what's up with the "add doubles to 20; 5 + 5 = " but only because I'm not getting the whole problem. (e.g. was it a list of problems 1+1=; 2+2=;...5+5=... 19+19=...20+20=).

6) (Yes, infowars - I'm going systematically, and not picking and choosing.) Again, commutativity and associativity. 26 + 17 = 26 + (4 + 13 ) = 30 + 13 = 43

7) Finally! Something new. Here I agree the question is messed up, in the sense that the printer forgot to include the shaded portion. If they were shaded, the question should be simple to answer. But again, printing errors happened previously. (Though some arguments could be made that rushing to implement the new standard could result in more errors.)

(Three images which are only tangentially related, including a stock photo of a classroom)

11) "Gotcha" question were present in the previous scheme as well. They teach reading comprehension, and that you should think about things rather than blindly plugging-and-chugging.

(A rant and not a sample question.)

13) A multi-parter. 1. Bad question formatting, in that the parts and whole aren't represented consistently (what are those black circles supposed to be). Should be obvious that the problem is 6-5, though. 2. Does anyone have problems with 2? They provide a nice diagram and everything. 3. I presume "use cubes to solve" means manipulating physical blocks, as opposed to tak

My thoughts exactly. The picture itself has no context, and the article is the usual InfoWars style with lots of supposedly-self-evident cherry-picked anecdotes and no logic*. I'm going to assume that the problem in the picture is actually demonstrating an aspect of the transitive property. The intended solution is the realization that "15 - 5 - 2 = 15 - 7", or to state it as an abstract concept, "numbers represent quantities that may be separated and redistributed". Of course, parents whose education was all rote memorization don't understand the questions, so they're unable to help effectively, and in some cases can undermine the lesson entirely be asserting that the textbook is obviously wrong.

* I'm curious; is there an actual name for this style of presentation? I've seen it often in conspiracy theories, where a series of images, statements, and facts are presented without context to outrage the audience, then the author's theory is presented as the only context where everything makes sense, rather than allowing for each item's individual context to be understood first. It's common enough that I feel there must be some literary term for it, but I don't recall any.

Russia invaded Crimea, and may soon attempt to annex it.

That's a big difference, legally and morally.

Well, to be fair, Crimea was part of Russia until 1964 when Nikita Khrusjtsjov arbitrarily gave it away to Ukraine (according to some historians he did so while drunk). The majority of the people there identify with being Russian. Not saying Putin is right, but he is welcomed by many there.

Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

Mr. Teleprompter who is now costing me another house payment a month because my old plan was not good enough? His bullshit reforms with the NSA don't go nearly far enough and I have no faith that the current leaders (snicker) in congress will make meaningful reform something to debate in the upcoming elections. What his speech and plan amount to is a white wash of the situation and what has to happen is a constitutional amendment to finally put personal privacy rights first and foremost. This country was founded on the principals of liberty with a government by the people and for the people. Right now we have courts that we have no visibility into making decisions appointed by an appointee making decisions with an agency that has a substantial amount of resources at their disposal to undermine our privacy and to corrupt every aspect of our lives. It's not just the NSA but other government agencies we have to worry about, that's the point we have to raise the discussion up a bit higher. On the commercial side of things we have new intrusions daily into our privacy by companies and local governments who don't have our privacy in their plans, everything from license plate scanners to RFID tags we take on our cars and other methods sold for "efficiency of operational need" yet there's not uniform retention or privacy policy governing it. Drive a car, your movements are now being scrutinized on multiple levels. Want to take public transportation? The cameras being installed on streets and in public transportation systems will monitor you along with the open microphone technology, you'll be recorded as well. Add this to facial recognition software and it's not just Facebook you have to worry about, it's every jackbooted cop or DHS Gladys Kravitz snooping on your every movement.

"The Mujahideen

Al-Qaeda has its origins in the uprising against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Thousands of volunteers from around the Middle East came to Afghanistan as mujahideen, warriors fighting to defend fellow Muslims. In the mid-1980s, Osama bin Laden became the prime financier for an organization that recruited Muslims from mosques around the world. These "Afghan Arab" mujahideen, which numbered in the thousands, were crucial in defeating Soviet forces"

See also: Operation Cyclone

The mujahideen were significantly financed and armed (and are alleged to have been trained) by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the administrations of Carter[5] and Reagan, and also by Saudi Arabia, Pakistan under Zia-ul-Haq, Iran, the People's Republic of China and several Western European countries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_CIA_assistance_to_Osama_bin_Laden
Claims have been made that the American government, and in particular the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), are responsible for enabling "Afghan Arabs," and in particular Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda.
In mid-1979, about the same time as the Soviet Union deployed troops into Afghanistan, the United States began giving several hundred million dollars a year in aid to the Afghan Mujahideen insurgents fighting the Afghan Marxist government and the Soviet Army in Operation Cyclone.

"The Mujahideen

Al-Qaeda has its origins in the uprising against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Thousands of volunteers from around the Middle East came to Afghanistan as mujahideen, warriors fighting to defend fellow Muslims. In the mid-1980s, Osama bin Laden became the prime financier for an organization that recruited Muslims from mosques around the world. These "Afghan Arab" mujahideen, which numbered in the thousands, were crucial in defeating Soviet forces"

The mujahideen were significantly financed and armed (and are alleged to have been trained) by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the administrations of Carter[5] and Reagan, and also by Saudi Arabia, Pakistan under Zia-ul-Haq, Iran, the People's Republic of China and several Western European countries.

Claims have been made that the American government, and in particular the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), are responsible for enabling "Afghan Arabs," and in particular Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda.
In mid-1979, about the same time as the Soviet Union deployed troops into Afghanistan, the United States began giving several hundred million dollars a year in aid to the Afghan Mujahideen insurgents fighting the Afghan Marxist government and the Soviet Army in Operation Cyclone. Along with native Afghan mujahideen were Muslim volunteers from other countries, popularly known

This sort of lawlessness and unaccountability is precisely what Michael Cannon testified to congress about. He asserted that what this leads to no one wants to think about. But that by following this path to its conclusion can end no other way as in all of human history, no one has succeeded in that sort of domination and abuse..

If you asked me if this was possible 20 years ago, I would have said "Yes, and they have already done it. We have some freedoms, but no real control. We're happy and comfortable slaves by and large." And it was true. There was a middle class and we had ways and means to improve our lives if we really wanted to. Not that we had any hope of being a 1%er or anyone particiarly powerful, but we could all potentially live a good life with reasonable comfort, safety and the ability for the persuit of happiness.

These days, the greed of wanting more and/or the ambition of the 1%ers trying to squeeze more people into their circles or whatever the hell has gone wrong, they have gone off the rails and exceeded the limits which have brought their evil into the light while people aren't distracted by TV and shopping and sports and celebrities. Instead, people are suffering while things are getting worse and they are already looking for people to blame. Bad way to treat your slaves 1%ers. You were supposed to keep us happy and unaware. You failed.

I can imagine why you feel more threatened about this than most. I'm not from the UK, but I did notice a link between extremist ideas on the internet and terrorism. The Boston bombers for instance, were totally into tin-foil hat theories and "right wing" ideology. My immediate reaction to that realization was just this: extremist ideas should be dealt with with extreme prejudice.

And then I stepped back and looked at what that would mean.

Freedom is hard. It's about taking a risk. The risk is that in exchange for not putting everyone in a cage, the 1/2 of 1% of the population might murder you. Perfect safety, or at least, perfect safety from spectacular attacks, is going to require that we all be put into electronic cages. You will have freedom of movement, but be on camera and recorded at all times. Your location, heart-rate, voice, and someday even thoughts, will have to be monitored by the government, much like a game designer testing his virtual world for bugs.

Its required to fight terrorism. Fighting terrorism is a good way to get elected. Most people won't mind so long as they can play XBox, drive a car, "follow their dreams", and so on. "Leave the politics to the politicians, I just want to make a living." They'll say.

80 years from now our "1st world" won't even be recognizable.

You can talk about that idealism all you want, but the fact is that most people don't know a god damn thing about who they are actually voting for.

For instance, Obama supporters don't even know what party he is with. (And a whole bunch of other fun things, too.)

This is just an example of Washington Monument Syndrome , wherein the government (or a branch of it), when faced with budget cuts, first shuts down whatever site or service will cause the most uproar. Never mind the graft, never mind the mountains of wasteful spending, just cut funding to fire departments, schools, police, whatever will get noticed and inspire outrage the fastest. The idea is to apply pressure to the taxpayers, the budget office, the ways and means committee, or whoever else is capable of deciding that they should get more money. They do this every single time.

It's exactly the same as a petulant child who, upon being told that he can only have two pieces of candy instead of five, holds his breath and stomps his feet in an effort to reverse the decision. And it's equally mature.

Perfectly describes Baracky Obumbles, doesn't that?

Before you mod this down, note well that Obama is doing shit like trying to barricade off Mt Vernon, despite the fact that George Washingtons's home is privately-owned. (Yeah, nasty partisan news source there, but the fact that you're not getting that information from larger news sources should tell you something....)

"Secret" 3G Intel Chip Gives Snoops Backdoor PC Access

vPro processors allow remote access even when computer is turned off

Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com | September 26, 2013

http://www.infowars.com/91497/

Intel Core vPro processors contain a "secret" 3G chip that allows remote disabling and backdoor access to any computer even when it is turned off.

Although the technology has actually been around for a while, the attendant privacy concerns are only just being aired. The "secret" 3G chip that Intel added to its processors in 2011 caused little consternation until the NSA spying issue exploded earlier this year as a result of Edward Snowden's revelations.

In a promotional video for the technology, Intel brags that the chips actually offer enhanced security because they don't require computers to be "powered on" and allow problems to be fixed remotely. The promo also highlights the ability for an administrator to shut down PCs remotely "even if the PC is not connected to the network," as well as the ability to bypass hard drive encryption.

"Intel actually embedded the 3G radio chip in order to enable its Anti Theft 3.0 technology. And since that technology is found on every Core i3/i5/i7 CPU after Sandy Bridge, that means a lot of CPUs, not just new vPro, might have a secret 3G connection nobody knew about until now,"reports Softpedia.

Jeff Marek, director of business client engineering for Intel, acknowledged that the company's Sandy Bridge" microprocessor, which was released in 2011, had "the ability to remotely kill and restore a lost or stolen PC via 3G."

"Core vPro processors contain a second physical processor embedded within the main processor which has it's own operating system embedded on the chip itself," writes Jim Stone. "As long as the power supply is available and and in working condition, it can be woken up by the Core vPro processor, which runs on the system's phantom power and is able to quietly turn individual hardware components on and access anything on them."

Although the technology is being promoted as a convenient way for IT experts to troubleshoot PC issues remotely, it also allows hackers or NSA snoops to view the entire contents of somebody's hard drive, even when the power is off and the computer is not connected to a wi-fi network.

It also allows third parties to remotely disable any computer via the "secret" 3G chip that is built into Intel's Sandy Bridge processors. Webcams could also be remotely accessed.

"This combination of hardware from Intel enables vPro access ports which operate independently of normal user operations," reports TG Daily. "These include out-of-band communications (communications that exist outside of the scope of anything the machine might be doing through an OS or hypervisor), monitoring and altering of incoming and outgoing network traffic. In short, it operates covertly and snoops and potentially manipulates data."

Not only does this represent a privacy nightmare, it also dramatically increases the risk of industrial espionage.

The ability for third parties to have remote 3G access to PCs would also allow unwanted content to be placed on somebody's hard drive, making it easier for intelligence agencies and corrupt law enforcement bodies to frame people.

"The bottom line? The Core vPro processor is the end of any pretend privacy," writes Stone. "If you think encryption, Norton, or anything else is going to ensure your privacy, including never hooking up to the web at all, think again. There is now more than just a ghost in the machine."

That was a very interesting comment. I have not been following this case other than what has seeped in by osmosis, but what you are saying sounds both plausible and very different from the picture the media are painting. I'm trying to track down some of your sources, so I can read more about it (it would have been helpful if you had included URLs in your post).

1. Obama's red line.
2. I can't find the cat video in question on youtube, it seems to drown in videos of the more recent gassing episodes.
3. I think I found a source for the leaked emails, though the paste referred to in that article had been deleted.
4. I found this source for the Feburary home-made Sarin usage by the FSA
5. I this this is the FSA Sarin transport episode. I also did found other similar news from the same source: FSA chemical weapon factory discovered.
6. I found plenty of sources for the kidnapping indicent, including this

Yet Another False Flag operation. Has everyone seen the newly leaked emails alleging that the United States is actually responsible for the chemical weapons attack precisely to justify this invasion? See this and this and this and this and this and this and this.

-1 for posting an alternative point of view that has links to back up assertion? The neocon contingent of /. mods must be out in force today.

• 4) Allegations of affairs, rape, and sexual deviance whether true of false tend to destroy people. Support of Assange decreased after his allegations that came out right after he released his material. We have seen Generals outed by the intelligence community for having affairs, its possible there is something there.
• 5) Apparently you can also harass their spouses when they are traveling.
• 6) Most of the stuff done under COINTELPRO: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO

Boom. A system to take out the subversives. All without people suspecting.

Even that wouldn't bother me so much if they weren't training with "No Hesitate" targets featuring children and pregnant women and simulating attacks on American cities.
