Wayseer Manifesto Former CIA director: ‘We kill people based on metadata’ Published time: May 12, 2014 18:27 Edited time: May 13, 2014 22:11 Former National Security Agency (NSA) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Michael Hayden (Reuters/Larry Downing) At a recent debate concerning the National Security Agency’s bulk surveillance programs, former CIA and NSA director Michael Hayden admitted that metadata is used as the basis for killing people. The comments were made during a debate at Johns Hopkins University, after Georgetown University Law Center professor David Cole detailed the kind of information the government can obtain simply by collecting metadata – who you call, when you call them, how long the call lasts, and how often calls between the two parties are made. Writing in the New York Review of Books, Cole elaborated (you can also watch his explanation around the 14 minute mark of the embedded video): “Of course knowing the content of a call can be crucial to establishing a particular threat.
The Astonishing Success of Fleet Farming: Breaking New Ground in the "Food Not Lawns" Movement | Wake Up World July 31st, 2017 By Carolanne Wright Contributing writer for Wake Up World If you’re anything like me, America’s obsession with ornamental lawns seems nothing short of folly at best, sheer polluting waste at worst. Many are unaware that lawns are one of the largest sources of pollution in the US, with 40 million acres under cultivation, they absorb three million tons of chemical fertilizers and 30,000 tons of pesticides, and use 800 million gallons of gasoline for mowing each year. And for what? We can complain and fume about this state of affairs — or we can do something about it. The Problem — And an Innovative Solution Did you know, here in the US, each meal travels about 1,500 miles from farm to table? What if this was taken one step further, where a bike-powered fleet is used, instead of gasoline-powered vehicles, for all transportation of produce? Farmlette to Table — A New Model of Local Organic Produce How Does it Work? Fleet Farming outlines the requirements for program participants:
Former Al-Qaeda Operative Claims Qaeda/ISIS Run By The CIA Brandon TurbevilleActivist Post More evidence has been entered into the files of public record that terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the al-Nusra Front are completely controlled by the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies. In fact, according to Nabil Na’eem, founding member of the Islamic Democratic Jihad Party and a former commander of al-Qaeda, all current al-Qaeda affiliates are nothing more than offshoots of an overarching CIA terror operation. He also claimed that these groups will eventually be turned against Saudi Arabia, despite the fact that Saudi Arabia has acted as a bankroller and facilitator for them for years on end. Na’eem made his statements during the course of an interview with al-Maydeen , a Beirut-based news agency that serves a number of countries in the Middle East. The interview was translated by Arabi Souri of Syria News. Na’eem stated, This was recorded and sent to the public prosecutor and this is what Mohammad Morsi is being tried for.
Why Every Parent Should Consider Unschooling | Wake Up World By Carolanne Wright Contributing Writer for Wake Up World Gillian Lynne. Gillian was fidgety. Author and educator Sir Ken Robinson tells this story in his 2006 TED talk, How schools kill creativity. “We are educating people out of their creativity,” Robinson says. An unorthodox approach to learning With programs like No Child Left Behind (millions of children have actually been left behind) and Common Core (otherwise known as Common Conformity) in the United States, parents are finding the educational climate so unacceptable that they are willing to take a radically different path. Homeschooling allows parents to hand-pick curriculum to fit their children’s learning style or religious affiliation. Unschooling is a method of homeschooling that puts the learning in the hands of the learner. “The beauty of unschooling is in the search for the answers. According to Babauta, unschooling is not: Instead, unschooling encourages: Babauta feels the benefits of unschooling are vast, including:
The significance of a forgotten CIA document: MKULTRA Jon RappoportActivist Post This June 27, 1994, document is stored at the National Security Archive at The George Washington University. It was written by a CIA advisory committee, and forwarded to the Presidential Committee on Human Radiation Experiments, which was preparing public hearings at the time. The document has many interesting implications. In this article, I want to focus on two. The first point concerns the CIA mind control program, MKULTRA. Here is a key quote: Helms was not only admitting he destroyed the records, he was stating that the MKULTRA program deployed, through contracts, “outsiders” to carry out mind control experiments. Subsequently, some of these “outsiders” have been revealed. The second point I want to cover is made clear by this quote from the 1994 CIA document: “The Church Committee [investigating the CIA] reports that one of the three principal functions of the Special Operations Division (SOD) of the U.S.

Human Rights Court Condemns Poland for CIA Torture Black Site Joe WrightActivist Post The CIA global torture network is coming under much-needed revived scrutiny from the latest revelation that a secret prison existed in a Polish forest for the purpose of rendition and interrogation of suspected terrorists. As the video report below highlights, the European Court of Human Rights has concluded that Poland fully cooperated with the establishment of the site and subsequently failed to investigate prisoner claims of torture while being held there. Two men at the heart of the ruling were essentially kidnapped from Thailand in 2002 and brought to the site. While the court's ruling is symbolically important, until those who orchestrated the global program of kidnapping and torture are brought to justice, this might become an ongoing piece of political theater that actually covers up more than it exposes. Transcript by Erik Shute The European Court of Human Rights ruled Poland violated an international treaty by hosting secret CIA prisons within its borders.
Jackfruit: Can This Nutritional Powerhouse Prevent Widespread Famine? 3rd July 2016 By Carolanne Wright Contributing writer for Wake Up World Unlike the United States — where self-sufficiency and food security is persecuted — the government of Venezuela is pushing its population to grow urban gardens and raise chickens in response to severe food shortages. Venezuelan president Maduro himself produces everything his family eats with the help of 60 laying hens. While not considered a famine yet, the shortages are acute enough that malnutrition is a serious concern, especially in the case of children. Venezuela is a prime location for both traditional and micro-farming due to broad areas of fertile land and appropriate growing climate. In order to feed people — and properly nourish them as well — it’s crucial to grow crops that are versatile, hardy and nutrient dense. A large, smelly fruit Grown in southeast Asia and Brazil — and native to India — jackfruit is big and bumpy with a gummy interior and strong aroma of decay. “It’s a miracle. Article sources:
A Timeline of CIA Atrocities A Timeline of CIA Atrocities By Steve Kangas The following timeline describes just a few of the hundreds of atrocities and crimes committed by the CIA. (1) CIA operations follow the same recurring script. This scenario has been repeated so many times that the CIA actually teaches it in a special school, the notorious "School of the Americas." The Association for Responsible Dissent estimates that by 1987, 6 million people had died as a result of CIA covert operations. (2) Former State Department official William Blum correctly calls this an "American Holocaust." The CIA justifies these actions as part of its war against communism. The ironic thing about all this intervention is that it frequently fails to achieve American objectives. The following timeline should confirm that the CIA as we know it should be abolished and replaced by a true information-gathering and analysis organization. Radio Free Europe — The CIA creates its first major propaganda outlet, Radio Free Europe. Late 40s 1.
First They Jailed the Bankers, Now Every Icelander to Get Paid in Bank Sale By Claire Bernish First, Iceland jailed its crooked bankers for their direct involvement in the financial crisis of 2008. Now, every Icelander will receive a payout for the sale of one of its three largest banks, Íslandsbanki. If Finance Minister Bjarni Benediktsson has his way — and he likely will — Icelanders will be paid kr 30,000 after the government takes over ownership of the bank. Íslandsbanki would be second of the three largest banks under State proprietorship. “I am saying that the government take some decided portion, 5%, and simply hand it over to the people of this country,” he stated. Because Icelanders took control of their government, they effectively own the banks. Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson, Budget Committee vice chairperson, explained the move would facilitate the lifting of capital controls, though he wasn’t convinced State ownership would be the ideal solution. Hoarding these items is better than having money in the bank (Ad)
CIA Manager Removed for Creating “Hostile Work Environment” Promoted to Lead Role in Drone Program By Melissa Dykes When I came across this story I’ll admit my first thought was, just how “abusive” does a person have to be and what exactly does it take to create a “hostile work environment” at the CIA of all places? Jonathan Bank, a man who was reportedly removed from his position as head of the Iran operations division at CIA headquarters due to abusive leadership practices which led to a hostile working environment for his underlings has now not only been reinstated at the agency, but given a position as deputy chief for counterintelligence at the Counter Terrorism Center (CTC). According to the Associated Press, the CTC “conducts the agency’s operations against al-Qaida, the Islamic State and other groups,” and Banks job involves supervising, “a team charged with protecting CTC operations by ferreting out spies, double agents, bad tradecraft and other security risks.” This article may be re-posted in full with attribution.
