Samuel L. Jackson: `I voted for Obamabecause he's black'

1. NY PostFebruary 13, 2012

Samuel L. Jackson said he voted forPresident Obama because of hiscolor: “I voted for Barack because hewas black. ’Cuz that’s why other folksvote for other people — because theylook like them,” the actor says in anoutspoken interview in the Marchissue of Ebony. Jackson sounds off onhis feelings for Obama to writer KevinPowell, saying: “That’s Americanpolitics, pure and simple. [Obama’s]message didn’t mean [bleep] to me. Inthe end, he’s a politician. I just hoped he would do some of what he said he was gonna do. Iknow politicians say [bleep]; they lie. ’Cuz they want to get elected.” Repeatedly using the N-word, Jackson added that Obama’s philosophical presence had been universally appealing:“When it comes down to it, they wouldn’t have elected a [bleep]. Because, what’s a [bleep]? A[bleep] is scary. Obama ain’t scary at all. [Bleeps] don’t have beers at the White House. [Bleeps]don’t let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call [him] a liar. A [bleep] would

have stopped the meeting right there andsaid, ‘Who the [bleep] said that?’ I hopeObama gets scary in the next four years, ’cuzhe ain’t gotta worry about getting re-elected.” Defending his repeated use of thetaboo epithet, the “Pulp Fiction” Oscarnominee added, “[It] became a part of myvocabulary when I was born . . . Because itwas used on me in my house, often . . . Iknow the word [bleep] as an admonishment,an endearment, a criticism and an invective.So I use it; I don’t run from it. I don’t havean issue with it or who says it. I always put itin the context of how it was used on me.”

Congress to Holder: Quit

1. American Free PressFebruary 13, 2012

Republican lawmakers on the HouseOversight and Government ReformCommittee called on Attorney GeneralEric Holder to resign even as thecountry’s top lawyer dodged questionsabout his involvement in what many arecalling a criminal scheme by the U.S.government to traffic weapons toMexican drug gangs.

During his testimony, Holder rantedangrily about the alleged “unfairness” ofhim having to answer questions aboutwhy he used bogus documents to concealthe fact that weapons sold in the government gunrunning operation were used to murder U.S.Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

“Nobody’s been disciplined. Nobody’s been fired,” Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) told theembattled Holder. “It might be time for you to resign.”

Holder opened his remarks by acknowledging that “Fast and Furious”—the U.S. governmentaloperation to supply arms to Mexican narco- guerrillas, who are waging veritable war against thegovernments of Mexico and the United States—was a mistake. However, he claimed it wascooked up by people in his employ and was something he could not personally be heldaccountable for.

Evidence presented to the committeeduring five previous hearings showsthat Holder lied to Congress about Fastand Furious, claiming it did not exist.Since then, he has changed his tune andalso admitted that the JusticeDepartment laundered money forMexican drug gangs as well.

The Fast and Furious operation was thebrainchild of Patrick Cunningham, thehead of the Criminal Division of theU.S. Attorney’s Office in Phoenix. Itwas Cunningham whom Holderreferenced in comments he made

claiming that his subordinates deceived himand other Department of Justice supervisors asto the nature of the program.

Cunningham recently took the FifthAmendment and refused to testify beforeCongress, claiming he was under criminalinvestigation for his actions in setting up andcontrolling the Fast and Furious program.

Holder himself has been threatened with acriminal contempt of Congress citation for hiscontinuing refusal to release almost 10,000documents relating to the program.

Recently, the family of U.S. Border PatrolAgent Brian Terry, who was murdered by thugsusing guns provided to Mexican narco-guerrillas by Holder, has filed a civil lawsuit seeking $25 million in damages from the Obamaadministration

Terry was killed in late 2010 during a cross-border raid conducted by Mexican drug traffickers.An investigation into the murder found that the guns used were provided to Mexican drug cartelsby the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and that the operation wasconceived and carried out by the U.S. Attorney’s Office under the supervision of Holder.

New FBI ‘spot the saboteur’ guide: Cash,Snorkel, US Constitution

-Elena Medvedeva, Vitaliy Matveev

1. RTFebruary 13, 2012

Fancy a quick scuba lesson before goingon a last-minute trip to Hawaii? Paying incash for a snorkel? Just shaved mustachebecause it doesn’t go with a dive mask?Big Brother will spot a terrorist: “Seesomething, say something” policy inaction.

-The 25 flyers issued by the FBI and theDepartment of Justice give no mere Orwellcreeps. Every area seems to be bursting with

bombers: airports, beauty shops, construction sites, banks and internet cafes. Your tattoos mastermeets a bunch of them every day. Terrorists have taken to your favorite shop with train modelsacross the street – remember how you pressed your nose against the glass after school? Nowpress harder: see something, say something, do something for your country.

-’Constant vigilance!’ – from fiction to action

The FBI and Department of Justice have streamed the “terrorist profiles” to every federal, stateand local law enforcement agency across the country previous week. No one wants armeddangerous freaks invading a shopping mall on a Sunday, but now think about this. Are you:

- constantly impatient with your hair color?- nervous in public spaces?- inclined to show off before your girlfriend, even whentaking your first ever dive?- prone to staring around?- obsessed with taking pictures?- eager to keep your passwords to yourself in an internetcafe?

If yes, then you have all the chances to fall on the wrong sidewith the community and be referred to the police.

No encryption, no anonymity (forget about Skype, patriots), nocash, no hanging around, no heritage disputes at constructionsites. Know your shopping list, show genuine interest, don’t

avoid talking to assistants, but don’t ask for exits and sales days – you are not looking forcrowds.

So the War on Terror is getting inward-bound and tens of millions of law abiding Americans willget a flavor of it. Putting aside proper instructions to identify a potential terrorist (nervous,sweating, unsure of own name and story, wearing too much clothing) and terrorist activity (usingabandoned houses to store unidentified goods, driving a car without number plates, leavingpackages in public areas) – where is the bottom line to assess “extreme” behavior?

The handouts stress to Americans that people who “make suspicious comments regarding anti-US, radical theology, vague or cryptic warnings that suggest or appear to endorse the use ofviolence in support of a cause” are, well, terrorists. So, bye Occupy Wall Street, you won’t beflashing headlines any more soon. Not after several arrests on “assaulting police” charges.

Be careful to forget your Constitutional rights, too. Only those, who are looking for a thrashingfrom homeland security, know them by heart. And never, ever speak ill of Washington’s policies:

“Fury at the West for reasons ranging from personal problems to global policies of the US” is anattitude indicator of a “sleeper,” a person who “camouflages their involvement in terroristactivity.”

By the way, you will never believe who fits the description of a sleeper as an adjoining puzzlepiece. War veterans! Consider those who have spent quite some time in “countries where

militant Islam rules,” are “missinghand/fingers,” have “burns” and areinclined to show undesired interest in allsecurity stuff – like “hey, which is thepolice frequency over here?” So, welcomehome, Afghan troops.

Think wider – stay in limits

The leaflets conclude with twodisclaimers fitting quite neatly with eachother. First, “just becausesomeone’s…way of life is different, it doesnot mean that he or she is suspicious.”

Then, “The activities outlined on this handout are by no means all-inclusive.”

So if you see a guy, meddling in the shop with a lobster, a witch’s hat he is using as a bag and anewspaper he is holding upside down, and somehow you feel he is conspiring for a delayedbombing out, tip him off to the police.

But if your dad has given you a hooked nose and dark curls and then one morning you trade for amodel plane with the “maximum range remote control” for your little bro… Just don’t get a nastyshock if your neighbor reports you. It is not the FBI’s fault that Mr. Thompson is such a ragingxenophobe, who does not care what next door people look like.

With the new 25 lists of security commandments, Americans now have a handout for every tripto the outer space. Stillthe new instructions dazeeven some ex-lawenforcers:

“I spent some years in lawenforcement, and some ofthose devoted to counter-terrorism. I can assureyou that most federal,state and local lawenforcement personnelabide by their oath to‘support and defend theConstitution’ and aresteadfastly accountable tothat oath. In other words,

they understand that broadly labeling as ‘terrorists’ those who support constitutional limits ongovernment is offensive to that oath,” reads the dedicated story in the Patriot Post.

Dropping the F-BOMB: A Disposable SpyComputer Funded by DARPA Peter Murray

1. Singularity HubFebruary 13, 2012

Attach a camera to a drone, fly the dronearound the back of the house, locate thebad guys. Robotic UAVs are being usedfor surveillance by everyone from themilitary to local law enforcement toemergency personnel. But if you thinkabout it, drones are kind of big and reallynoisy, not the ideal tool for spying onsomeone. Their data gathering capabilitiesare limited too and they’re reallyexpensive. What about a computer, smalland durable enough for you to toss over a fence or inconspicuously attach to a car? Equippedwith Wi-Fi cracking software or GPS, it could infiltrate someone’s computer or track someone’slocation without them knowing.

Allow me to drop the F-BOMB. The Falling or Ballistically-launched Object that MakesBackdoors, that is. Invented by Brandon O’Connor as an alternative to high-tech and costly spydevices, the F-BOMB is made so cheaply with off-the-shelf parts that you’ll feel perfectly okaywith losing one or two. Very convenient when it’s sitting in the backyard of a drug lord hideout.

Before building the F-BOMB, O’Connor challenged himself with several constraints. He wantedmultiple wireless radios, USB capability for expansion (add GPS for example), battery life thatlasted hours to days, a size small enough that it won’t be found by the “bad guys with guns,” ashe calls them, and do all this without spending thousands or even hundreds of dollars.

The key addition was the PogoPlug.The PogoPlug is a NAS (NetworkAttached Storage) box, a datastorage device through which peoplecan share information over theInternet. It runs on Linux whichmakes it pretty user-friendly,according to O’Connor. Normallythe boxes cost about $150, whichwould have made the F-BOMB tooexpensive for O’Connor’s purposes,but the company is having a hardtime selling the devices. PogoPlug’s

misfortune becomes O’Connor’s advantageas he can now purchase them for just $25on Amazon.com. And that’s the mostexpensive bit of hardware. Add theantennae, eight gigabytes worth of flashmemory and a plastic casting that’s 3D-printed and you’ve got a little spyingcomputer you can build for under $49.Four D batteries will provide power for 30-plus hours.

Aside from being cheap and reproducible,building a monitoring device withcommercial off-the-shelf, or COTS,components from Amazon or craigslistmeans when the bad guys find it in theirbackyard they won’t be able to trace it to you. Were the F-BOMB to require any kind of made-to-order, a determined person could find the manufacture, start asking questions.

O’Connor talked about the F-BOMB (“because one time I worked for DARPA and they loveterrible acronyms”) at ShmooCon 2012. As you’ll see in the video, he’s nothing if notenthusiastic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm_cHb8Mm9w

The F-BOMB won an award from DARPA’s

1. Cyber Fast Track program. The title of the project is “Reticle: Leaderless Command andControl,” which kind of makes me wonder what else he’s developing. As Forbes reports,O’Connor was tight-lipped about what DARPA might do with the technology.

But we can venture a few guesses. The platform can be attached to a quadcopter and droppedonto a roof. It can be hidden inside a carbon monoxide casing, or any other imaginative covercontainer such as a box of stale Triscuits that you’re pretty sure no one’s going to touch. As Imentioned before, Wifi-cracking software will allow you to eavesdrop on a person’s computer,and you can track someone with a GPS module. And if you’re more in the business of sciencethan spying, you can add temperature or humidity sensors to collect data for meteorologicalresearch.

O’Connor has a security and software consultancy called Malice Afterthought. He learned aboutsuch things teaching at cybersecurity schools for the military as well as working in the securitydevisions of VeriSign and Sun Microsystems. The website describes him as “dreamer and madscientist capable of making even the most challenging tasks into reality.” Being that he kind ofruns the consultancy himself, he probably wrote the description himself, which is kind of weird.Anyway, he certainly has created a little security monster in the F-BOMB. Effin’ cool.

The Rothschilds Want Iran’s Banks Pete Papaherakles

1. American Free PressFebruary 13, 2012

Could gaining control of the Central Bankof the Islamic Republic of Iran (CBI) beone of the main reasons that Iran is beingtargeted by Western and Israeli powers?As tensions are building up for anunthinkable war with Iran, it is worthexploring Iran’s banking system comparedto its U.S., British and Israeli counterparts.

Some researchers are pointing out thatIran is one of only three countries left inthe world whose central bank is not underRothschild control. Before 9-11 there werereportedly seven: Afghanistan, Iraq,Sudan, Libya, Cuba, North Korea, andIran. By 2003, however, Afghanistan and Iraq were swallowed up by the Rothschild octopus,and by 2011 Sudan and Libya were also gone. In Libya, a Rothschild bank was established inBenghazi while the country was still at war.

Islam forbids the charging of usury, the practice of charging excessive, unreasonably high, andoften illegal interestrates on loans,and that is a major problem for the Rothschild banking system.Until a few hundred years ago usury was also forbidden in the Christian world and was evenpunishable by death. It was considered exploitation and enslavement.

Since the Rothschilds took over the Bank ofEngland around 1815, they have beenexpanding their banking control over all thecountries of the world. Their method hasbeen to get a country’s corrupt politicians toaccept massive loans, which they can neverrepay, and thus go into debt to theRothschild banking powers. If a leaderrefuses to accept the loan, he is oftentimeseither ousted or assassinated. And if thatfails, invasions can follow, and a Rothschildusury-based bank is established.

The Rothschilds exert powerful influence

over the world’s major newsagencies. By repetition, themasses are duped into believinghorror stories about evil villains.The Rothschilds control the Bankof England, the Federal Reserve,the European Central Bank, theIMF, the World Bank and theBank of InternationalSettlements. Also they own mostof the gold in the world as well asthe London Gold Exchange,which sets the price of gold everyday. It is said the family ownsover half the wealth of theplanet—estimated by CreditSuisse to be $231 trillion—and iscontrolled by Evelyn Rothschild, the current head of the family.

Objective researchers contend that Iran is not being demonized because they are a nuclear threat,just as the Taliban, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Libya’s Muammar Qadaffi were not a threat.

What then is the real reason? Is it the trillions to be made in oil profits, or the trillions in warprofits? Is it to bankrupt the U.S. economy, or is it to start World War III? Is it to destroy Israel’senemies, or to destroy the Iranian central bank so that no one is left to defy Rothschild’s moneyracket?

It might be any one of those reasons or, worse—it might be all of them.
