» Internet Wars: Anonymous Attacks DOJ After Feds Shut Down Megaupload Alex Jones. Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com January 19, 2012 Following a wildly successful protest against SOPA and PIPA internet censorship legislation on Wednesday, the Department of Justice “conducted a major action” on Thursday and shuttered MegaUpload, a popular file-sharing site accused of trading in copyrighted movies and television shows. Following action by a grand jury, the feds arrested four people and executed more than 20 search warrants in the United States and eight foreign countries. They seized 18 domain names and around $10 million in assets, including a number of servers. The grand jury indictment accuses Megaupload of causing $500 million in damages to copyright owners and of making $175 million through selling ads and premium subscriptions, according to the New York Times. The conspicuously timed raid “on Megaupload Thursday proved that the feds don’t need SOPA or its sister legislation, PIPA, in order to pose a blow to the Web,” writes the AnonOps Communications blog.

When police pressure innocent people into confessing to crimes they did not commit, it means those who are guilty avoid punishment, sometimes for years or even decades. The nonprofit Innocence Project found that of 80 convicted murderers who were exonerated because of DNA evidence, about 54% had confessed to killings they didn't commit. For instance, the famous 1989 Central Park jogger case in New York City involved five teenagers convicted of raping and severely beating a woman, Trish Meili. Four of the "guilty" confessed to the crime, and all five wound up spending years in prison. It wasn't until 2002 that the real culprit, Matias Reyes, a convicted murder and rapist, was identified and brought to justice as the sole perpetrator of the crime.
Six years ago in Tennessee, a 12-year-old boy confessed to killing his little sister after police interrogated him for hours. Thomas Cogdell, now 18, insists he didn't do it and was coerced into claiming guilt for the crime. -Noel Brinkerhoff. » Elections…We Get What They Pay For Alex Jones. Noel BrinkerhoffAll Gov January 19, 2012 The race for the Republican presidential nominee has been dominated so far, in terms of money, by the super PAC—political action committees established by wealthy individuals trying to influence who wins the GOP nomination.
Front-runner Mitt Romney has benefited from several super PACs, including one using $1 million from hedge-fund magnate John Paulson, and another involving the Marriott brothers (yes, the hotel chain) who also gave $1 million. If Romney becomes the Republican challenger to President Barack Obama, and wins in November, it’s safe to say that Obama’s financial reforms for Wall Street, limited though they may be, will be in danger of being overturned, since Paulson is big on getting rid of them. The Marriott brothers, meanwhile, would expect for their help getting Romney into the Oval Office “favorable tax and immigration policies through their hotel companies,” according to The Washington Post.

Jonathan Steele Global Research January 19, 2012 Suppose a respectable opinion poll found that most Syrians are in favour of Bashar al-Assad remaining as president, would that not be major news?
Especially as the finding would go against the dominant narrative about the Syrian crisis, and the media considers the unexpected more newsworthy than the obvious. Alas, not in every case. When coverage of an unfolding drama ceases to be fair and turns into a propaganda weapon, inconvenient facts get suppressed. So it is with the results of a recent YouGov Siraj poll on Syria commissioned by The Doha Debates, funded by the Qatar Foundation.
Qatar’s royal family has taken one of the most hawkish lines against Assad – the emir has just called for Arab troops to intervene – so it was good that The Doha Debates published the poll on its website. The pity is that it was ignored by almost all media outlets in every western country whose government has called for Assad to go. Print this page. Historic! » Google Is Already Using SOPA-Like Censorship Alex Jones. Web giant blacklists websites, follows government orders to remove material Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Thursday, January 19, 2012 Despite Google’s much-heralded support for the anti-SOPA movement, the web giant is already enforcing SOPA-like policies of its own, blacklisting legitimate websites from its news aggregator and following government orders to remove material from its search results and You Tube.
As major Internet giants joined forces yesterday to protest legislation that would hand the U.S. government power to arbitrarily seize websites with no legal process under the pretext of copyright infringement, Google slapped a black censorship image over its logo and urged people to sign an anti-SOPA petition that has accrued over 5 million signees. While Google criticizes SOPA publicly, it is already privately using SOPA-like powers to unfairly marginalize legitimate web content.
Who needs government to censor the Internet when large corporations are already doing it? Historic! Bill Clinton Calls For Internet ‘Ministry of Truth’ Despite couching his idea in fluffy, friendly, democratic rhetoric, Clinton is advocating the creation of a Communist Chinese-style state run media outlet Paul Joseph WatsonPrison Planet.com Thursday, May 19, 2011 Mr Bill “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” Clinton, a man who knowingly lied to the nation on live television at the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, has called for the creation of an Internet ‘ministry of truth’ style organization that would be run by the federal government or the UN to address “misinformation and rumors floating on the Internet.”
Couching the idea in the kind of doublespeak rhetoric that would make George Orwell roll in his grave, Clinton said that the agency would have to be “independent” and “transparent,” but that it would be created and run by the federal government – a complete oxymoron. A d v e r t i s e m e n t This is Cass Sunstein’s “cognitive infiltration” on steroids. Stock up with Fresh Food that lasts with eFoodsDirect (AD) NY Times: Stuxnet was a US-Israeli effort to disrupt Iran's nuclear program. US and Israel researchers developed the worm at the facility and tested it on nuclear centrifuges identical to centrifuges at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility that was attacked by Stuxnet, the paper said.
Stuxnet development began in 2008 when Siemens cooperated with the Idaho National Laboratory to identify vulnerabilities in the company’s controllers that operate nuclear centrifuges and other industrial processes. A briefing about the findings was conducted by the Department of Homeland Security for US officials. The implication from the story is that this briefing was used by the Israelis, with US help, to develop the Stuxnet worm at Dimona. Siemens controllers headed for Iran were detained by the United Arab Emirates in April 2009 at the request of the US State Department, according to WikiLeaks documents cited by the paper. The Stuxnet worm has two components. The Secret Behind SOPA. It’s the end of the Internet as we know it Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Wednesday, January 18, 2012 The secret behind SOPA, the so-called anti-piracy bill which is today the target of an unprecedented backlash with Wikileaks and other major websites ‘going dark’ to protest the legislation, has nothing to do with piracy or copyright theft – it’s about the formal effort to mimic Communist China’s system of Internet censorship.
But don’t take our word for it, listen to what Joe Lieberman, co-sponsor of PIPA, SOPA’s sister version in the Senate, said about the purpose of behind the US government’s efforts to control the Internet under the guise of cybersecurity. Lieberman characterized fears that the US government would use such powers to censor political content as “total misinformation,” yet goes on to admit that the purpose behind the agenda is to mimic China’s ability to “disconnect parts of its Internet in case of war,” adding, “we need that here too”.
A d v e r t i s e m e n t. Secret National Security Council Panel ‘Nominates’ U.S. Citizens For Murder. Richardsilverstein.com Wednesday, January 18, 2012 Last October, Reuters published news about a secret U.S. government panel which “nominated” militants for murder or capture, including U.S. citizens like Anwar al-Awlaki. The story peered into the opaque process by which a government bureaucracy decides to take a human life. And it was disturbing: …Targeting recommendations are drawn up by a committee of mid-level National Security Council and agency officials. The names suggested are then brought before the president, who may veto them. What’s astonishing about all this is that the names of those on the panel are unknown, how they decide someone should die is unknown, and what evidence is used to determine on a death sentence is unknown.
The hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton swearing on a stack of Bibles that the U.S. had nothing to do with the last Iranian scientist assassination is laughable considering that our own behavior isn’t that dissimilar.

DiLorenzoLewRockwell.com January 17, 2012 Yet another neocon Republican establishment political hack has demonstrated ignorance, deceit, and bad manners in yet another attack on Ron Paul.
This time it is one Jeffrey Lord, a “contributing editor” to The American Spectator magazine. Writing in a January 15 article on the Philly.com Web site, Lord feigns outrage over the fact that five years ago Ron Paul told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the Civil War was unnecessary to end slavery. Lord is being deceitful here by taking what Ron Paul said out of context. I remember Ron Paul’s appearance on that show, and the point he was making was that all the rest of the world – the British, Spaniards, French, Dutch, Danes, Swedes, the Northern states in the U.S. – ended slavery peacefully in the nineteenth century. His point was that we should have done what the British did, and used tax dollars to purchase the freedom of the slaves and then ended it forever.

Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com January 17, 2012 Like Obama, Mitt Romney is a wind-up doll for Wall Street and the bankers. There is virtually no difference between them despite all the fetid air from the GOP propaganda machine. Romney’s Bain Capital owns the “conservative” propaganda machine, Clear Channel. This is revealed by a quick look at Romney’s top contributors. An Open Secrets page on top Romney contributors reads like a Who’s Who of Wall Street and the financial cartel.
The top contributor is Goldman Sachs, followed by Credit Suisse Group, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, UBS, Citigroup, Wells Fargo and Barclays – major players in the Wall Street and City of London bankster constellation. Bain Capital is also on the list. In December, Mitt refused to release the identity of his “bundlers,” or people who gather contributions from many individuals in an organization or community and give the cash to the campaign.

Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com January 15, 2012 Investigative journalists in Chile have uncovered a number of previously unreported political executions under General Pinochet’s reign of terror, including the execution of the Nobel Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda. More than 3,000 Chileans were “disappeared” after the CIA-plotted coup in Chile.
Investigative journalists at ArchivosChile patched together files from the Legal Medical Service, the General Cemetery, the Civil Registry and the Military Prosecutors. They discovered 890 politically motivated deaths between Sept. 11 and the end of December 1973, according to the Santiago Times. Chile’s bloody coup was planned and orchestrated by the CIA after the Chilean people made the mistake of democratically electing a socialist, Salvador Allende. Henry Kissinger, then Secretary of State, played an instrumental role in the coup. “The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves,” he said at the time.

Eric BlairActivist Post Friday, January 6, 2012 Last January, four-term senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) announced that he would not seek reelection in the upcoming 2012 elections. This seems to have relieved any pressure of facing his constituency for approval, allowing him to push for some of the most draconian legislation in the history of the United States.
Or, perhaps, he is just auditioning for a more powerful position like Secretary of Defense or Secretary of the DHS. Besides his renewed pressure on Google and Twitter to openly censor the Internet, Lieberman’s desire to crush all dissent against the war machine has manifested in bills like his Enemy Belligerent Act, his Internet Kill Switch bill, and the recently introduced Enemy Expatriation Act. The Internet Kill Switch bill, officially called the Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, gives the President the authority to police, censor and shut down parts of the Internet under a cyber emergency.
