The latest version was overwhelmingly approved by the House Armed Services Committee on May 8 and introduced the following week. “This year, through the incorporation of the Right to Habeas Corpus Act, the bill makes clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that every American will have his day in court,” a press release issued by the Armed Services Committee states.

After months of negotiations, lawmakers voted 98-0 to approve the $631 billion National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013, which began on October 1.

USAF seeks to ‘disrupt, deny, degrade, destroy, or deceive’ adversaries via cyberwarfare. Madison Ruppert, ContributorActivist Post.com Wednesday, August 29, 2012 The United States military continues to ramp up their cyberwarfare efforts at record speeds with the so-called “Plan X” and the approval of an offensive cyberwar which was stealthily inserted to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (NDAA). In the recent past, the United States military attempted to keep their cyberwarfare program under wraps but now it appears that this approach has been abandoned completely. Considering all of the malware popping up in the Middle East which is regularly traced back to the United States and Israel including Stuxnet, Flame, Duqu and the possibly related Mahdi, this isn’t all too surprising. The West’s cyberwarfare efforts are rapidly becoming common knowledge so I’m not shocked to see the Air Force opening up about their goals.
The Rest…HERE. Wars, Disinformation, And COINTELPRO In The Year 2012 « 107cowgate. By Larry Pinkney “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” —Benjamin Franklin“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being too late . . . If we do not act we shall surely be dragged down the long dark and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.” —Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In the short span of less than four years, this nation has experienced the horror of at least three major internal shooting massacres, including Fort Hood, Texas; Aurora, Colorado; and Oak Creek, Wisconsin.

Blogger and author Bob McCarty made a FOIA request to the Army for an Army Handbook entitled "Inside the Wire Threat - Afghanistan. " Mr. McCarty has publicized this request in his blog. The handbook was publicized by Gen. John Allen during Senate testimony in March of 2012. The request was eventually referred to the Department of Defense's FOIA Office ("DOD") because the Army believed that it contained Critical Infrastructure Security Information and that information was covered by 10 USC Section 130e, which was created in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act.
This was largely in response to the Milner decision which cut back the use of Exemption 2 for this material. Under the statute, DOD gave McCarty the opportunity to show why the public interest in the material would outweigh any interests in withholding the material. James Hogan, the DOD offical who asked Mr. This statutue and its input on the public interest in non-privacy information is relatively novel for the FOIA.

TrapWire: The Federal Gov't is Literally Watching Every Move You Make. The U.S. government exercises control over a massive and technologically advanced surveillance system that has the capacity to keep nearly the entire population of this country under the watchful eye of government 24 hours a day. TrapWire is the name of this newly revealed network of cameras and other surveillance tools being utilized by a federal government that is rapidly constructing an impenetrable, inescapable theater of surveillance, most of which is going unnoticed by Americans and unreported by the mainstream media.
Unlike other elements of the central government’s cybersurveillance program, word about TrapWire was not leaked by Obama administration insiders. The details of this nearly unbelievable surveillance scheme were made public by WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy group founded by Julian Assange. The TrapWire story percolated from the millions of emails from the Austin, Texas-based private intelligence-gathering firm Stratfor, published this year by WikiLeaks. DNC: Bush-era foreign policies could cost Obama. By Eric Boehm | Watchdog.org CHARLOTTE – Brett Morse voted for Barack Obama in 2008, but he says he won’t do that again.
Morse, a self-described libertarian from upstate New York, said Thursday he is disenchanted by both major parties and has been “sorely disappointed” by Obama’s record on foreign policy, which Morse said is nearly indistinguishable from the Bush-era policies that Obama once rejected. Brett Morse, a resident of Marion, New York, says Barack Obama lost his vote because of foreign policy missteps and civil liberties’ violations. “Those are things I thought were going to change when I voted for Obama,” Morse said, referring to the PATRIOT Act and the conflicts in the Middle East. Perhaps nothing exemplifies Obama’s evolution during his first term than the signing of the NDAA in December 2011. A U.S. court in May struck down the part of the law that allows indefinite detention of citizens, but the Obama administration has sought to appeal and sidestep that ruling.
Do small-business preferences make the grade? Do small-business preferences make the grade? In 2006, Congress set a governmentwide goal of awarding 23 percent of federal contracting dollars to small, minority and disadvantaged businesses. That year and every year since, the government has failed to hit the target. Nevertheless, supporters argue that the Small Business Administration’s goal and score card are serving their purpose: They are pushing agencies to think more about small-business contracting and taking to task those that consistently fall short. “The goals are useful to help us understand how we’re doing with small businesses in the different categories and to keep our eyes on the goal,” said Jiyoung Park, associate administrator for small business utilization at the General Services Administration.
“Without a management goal, it’s a lot harder to manage a program.” Small business by the numbers GSA and the Treasury Department are the only agencies that earned an A-plus on the small-business contracting score card in 2011.
