Espionnage : Les parlementaires américains secoués par Snowden Publié le : 18 juillet 2013 - Avec agence, LE MATIN Des parlementaires américains ont vivement dénoncé mercredi les programmes de surveillance mis en place par l’agence de renseignement NSA, jugeant qu’ils violaient la vie privée des Américains et menaçant de ne pas les renouveler. Depuis le début des révélations d’Edward Snowden, l’attention du public et des élus s’est davantage portée sur la traque de l’ancien consultant de la puissante agence, chargée des interceptions téléphoniques et informatiques, que sur les faits qu’il dénonçait. Mais mercredi, les élus des deux bords à la commission judiciaire de la Chambre des représentants ont vertement mis sur le grill les représentants des services de renseignement et du ministère de la Justice. Pour les élus, la loi établie en 1978 à la suite du scandale du Watergate était destinée à n’autoriser la surveillance des communications que lorsqu’il y a une suspicion contre une personne susceptible de se livrer à des activités terroristes.

Federally-Funded Street Lights Capable of “Recording Conversations” Orwellian ‘Intellistreets’ system now being installed in major cities Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Tuesday, November 1, 2011 Federally-funded high-tech street lights now being installed in American cities are not only set to aid the DHS in making “security announcements” and acting as talking surveillance cameras, they are also capable of “recording conversations,” bringing the potential privacy threat posed by ‘Intellistreets’ to a whole new level. In the days after we first brought attention to the privacy concerns surrounding the new street lights, with our story featuring prominently on the Drudge Report website, the company behind them, Illuminating Concepts, went on the defensive, issuing a press release claiming the devices didn’t represent a “big brother” intrusion. However, as you can see from the video above, ‘Intellistreets’ is big brother on steroids. A d v e r t i s e m e n t Paul Joseph Watson is the editor and writer for Prison Planet.com.

Barclays Libor scandal: how can we change banking culture? | Business We don't know each other, but I want to offer you a deal: You each give me £20,000. And that's it. What do you get in return? Well, it's a fair question but I can't even promise to pay it all back. But let me assure you of this: your hard-earned cash will keep me in the style to which I'm accustomed. And that's got to be good for all of us. You've probably guessed that the transfer I'm talking about has already happened. According to the IMF, the British stuck £1.2 trillion behind the finance sector. In just a few months, and with barely any public debate, every household subbed £46,774 to the City. There ought to be a verb for this kind of involuntary donation. Twenty grand each is the sum I've looked out for in the coverage of the latest banking scandal; in vain, of course. But you haven't heard much about the public interest in what will inevitably be dubbed the Lie-bor scam. So it is that the Daily Mail calls for market-rigging bankers to be banged up. About time, too.

Obama: Black Americans Feel Pain in Martin Verdict President Barack Obama on Friday jumped into the debate over the acquittal of the man who killed black Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, declaring that Martin "could have been me, 35 years ago" and urging Americans to understand the pain blacks felt over the case. Obama abruptly appeared in the White House press briefing room to offer his thoughts on the trial of George Zimmerman, the Sanford, Florida, neighborhood watch volunteer who was found not guilty of murder for shooting Martin, 17, in a struggle in 2012. The televised trial and Saturday's verdict highlighted contentious issues such as racial profiling, with many blacks arguing that Zimmerman chose to follow Martin because he was black, and rejecting Zimmerman's self-defense argument. Without saying so specifically, Obama sided with those who say the shooting need not have happened, expressing sympathy to the Martin family and praising them for the "incredible grace and dignity with which they've dealt with the entire situation."

PRISM : Google, Facebook et Microsoft essaient de désamorcer la crise Suite aux révélations sur le programme de surveillance de la National Security Agency (NSA), intitulé PRISM, les géants du web marchent sur des charbons ardents. Depuis l'explosion du scandale, les entreprises accusées de collaborer avec le renseignement américain s'efforcent, comme Washington par ailleurs, d'en minimiser la portée tout en organisant une communication de crise pour redorer leur image. C'est tout particulièrement le cas de Google, Microsoft et Facebook. Les trois firmes ont une nouvelle fois démenti les allégations selon lesquelles les agences de renseignements américaines ont un accès direct sur leurs serveurs. S'il existe des contacts, ceux-ci se font dans le cadre de la loi et notamment du Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), affirment les trois entreprises. Facebook Or, c'est justement les requêtes reçues dans le cadre de la loi FISA que Google, Facebook et Microsoft souhaitent désormais publier. Microsoft Google

Which state is Washington, D.C. located in? Actually, the District does not share a land border with Virginia. The Potomac River separates them. Otherwise, it is surrounded by Maryland as star_gazer says. After the US Constitution (1787) provided that a tract of land be reserved for the seat of the federal government, both Maryland and Virginia offered parcels for that purpose; on 16 July 1790, Congress authorized George Washington to choose a site not more than 10 mi (16 km) square along the Potomac River. On 3 May 1802, the city of Washington was incorporated (the District also included other local entities), with an elected council and a mayor appointed by the president. Fairfax County ceded the land of current day Arlington County to the Federal Government in 1789 as part of the District of Columbia, was returned to Virginia in 1846. It is the location of Arlington National Cemetery, Washington National Airport, and the Pentagon.

Obama dévoile son plan climatique: centrales au charbon visées Obama dévoile son plan climatique: centrales au charbon visées Le président américain Barack Obama a dévoilé mardi une vaste initiative pour combattre le réchauffement climatique. Il a promis de s'attaquer aux émissions de gaz à effet de serre produites par les centrales au charbon. Il s'est aussi engagé à promouvoir davantage les sources d'énergie propre et à agir pour mieux protéger les Américains des effets du réchauffement. Selon la Maison Blanche ce plan d'action devrait permettre aux Etats-Unis d'atteindre l'engagement du président de 2009 de réduire, d'ici à 2020, les émissions de gaz à effet de serre de 17% par rapport à leur niveau de 2005. "Les Américains, partout dans le pays, payent déjà le prix de l'inaction" contre le réchauffement, a martelé M. "La question est de savoir si nous aurons le courage d'agir avant qu'il ne soit trop tard et la manière dont nous répondrons aura un profond impact sur le monde que nous laisserons à nos enfants et nos petits-enfants", a-t-il ajouté.
