Now that some of the many hundreds of thousands of U.S. communiqués have been leaked to the world by Wikileaks, the fallout has just begun to descend. In my article posted yesterday morning, eight hours before a pre-release by both American and European papers, I exposed my theory on who is responsible for the leaks and the reason for this domestic and international disruption.
As I stated in my prior article Hillary Clinton would be the target of these diplomatic messages. Watching Hillary tap dance with her deliberate monotone voice that is so contrived, we saw her attempt to stave off the inevitable, her imminent resignation.
The leaks detail her attempt to gather personal information about our allies and friends around the world. According to Dick Morris on Bill O’Reilly’s Show tonight, she has used this method of “blackmail” before while he was a political consultant for her husband, President Bill Clinton. Morris referred to Hillary’s people, who were ordered to do the dirty work at the U.N. as her secret police. Needless to say, it appears that no matter what she says or does, the damage has been done and her effectiveness as Secretary of State has been minimized to the extent that she should strongly consider resigning.
Because of these leaks our allies around the world are in a state of limbo rendering them ineffective when dealing in a coordinated way for fear of being exposed. It could almost be said internationally the leaks have worked to destroy unity between any remaining coalition there is that’s attempting to fight the global radical Muslim takeover of the world.
With Hillary now destroyed internationally her days in politics are numbered. A run for President is out of the question since as a world leader she would be looked on as a conniving female who simply can’t be trusted by even our closest friends.
It appears that the leaks have done their job by destroying the one candidate who could beat President Obama in the 2012 primary for his reelection. Again, as stated in my article yesterday it is my contention that our President and his foreign, specifically in the Middle East, operatives are responsible for these leaks.
In past Wikileaks releases they have released very damaging information that was harmful to our military. It’s no secret that our President has been at odds with them for his entire two years in office. Is the President using Wikileaks to destroy our confidence in the one last bastion of strength left that protects us from the hordes?
What every detective asks when investigating a crime is who has the motive to commit the crime? Who benefits? Find that person and you have your criminal, it’s just that simple. Our President is the one person who benefits from Hillary’s exposure and eventual implosion. Our President is the one person who benefits from the disruption of our military. Remember, a leader cannot truly control a country without the military and this President finds it impossible to control them, thus the attack by Wikilieaks.
Again, in yesterday’s article this explains why the mightiest nation in the world refuses to stop Wikileads from leaking a third round of sensitive and top secret information. Our President has the power but refuses to stop them, why???????? He benefits!!!!!!!!!!

Tehran, Iran - Attack Kills Leading Iranian Nuclear Scientist
By Richard Spencer - Borrowed from the Telegraph - Thank you
A double attack in Tehran has killed a leading Iranian nuclear scientist and injured a second, according to the authorities.
Men on motorbikes approached the cars of the two men and stuck magnet-bombs on their windscreens, according to one report, though pictures from the scene showed what seemed to be bullet or shrapnel holes in the car of one of the men.
"Majid Shahriyari was martyred and his wife was injured," state radio said. "Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani and his wife were both wounded."
Both men are thought to have been senior figures at the school of nuclear engineering at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran.
It is not known whether they would have been directly involved in running the programme to enrich uranium which western countries fear is at the heart of Iranian plans to build a nuclear weapon.
However, Mr Shahriyari is said to have been involved in research to analyse neutrons that could contribute to the development of a new generation of nuclear reactors, for peaceful or military purposes. The head of Iran's atomic energy organisation, Ali Akbar Salehi, confirmed he was involved in a "major project".
According to one report, he was on the United Nations list of individuals subject to international sanctions over the nuclear programme.
Dr Abbasi-Davani was said to be a laser expert and to be a specialist in nuclear isotope preparation. He was also said to work with the defence ministry and to have been a member of the elite Revolutionary Guard.
Iran was quick to blame the west and in particular Israel for the attack.

Wikileaks Says - China Ordered Google to be Hacked
WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States believes that Chinese authorities orchestrated a hacking campaign into computers of Google and Western governments, according to leaked documents cited Sunday by The New York Times.
The secret cables obtained by whistleblower site WikiLeaks said that China's Politburo directed the hacking. It cited a cable from the US embassy in Beijing, which mentioned information from "a Chinese contact."
"The Google hacking was part of a coordinated campaign of computer sabotage carried out by government operatives, private security experts and Internet outlaws recruited by the Chinese government," the Times said, citing the cable.
Chinese operatives are also believed to have broken into computers of US and Western allies along with those of Tibet's exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, it said.
Google announced in March that it would no longer follow the communist government's instructions to filter searches for sensitive material after what it said were coordinated cyberattacks against the Internet company.
The hacking included infiltration of the Gmail accounts of Chinese dissidents.
Hacking campaigns originating from China have been reported before, including in a recent study by the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission.
But US officials have stopped short of publicly accusing Beijing of cyber warfare, saying that the hacking could be the work of Chinese not linked to authorities.
WikiLeaks on Sunday unleashed a torrent of sensitive US cables, despite pleas from US officials that the release would jeopardize diplomatic efforts.

Wikileaks Says - Saudi King on Iran: Cut Off the Head of the Snake
Borrowed from The Jerusalem Post - Thank you
In WikiLeaks release of US Embassy cable, Saudi leaders speak candidly on Teheran, say "military pressure against Iran shouldn't be ruled out."
Among the quarter-million documents in the latest WikiLeaks release on Sunday, was a secret diplomatic cable from the US Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, about a meeting between Saudi King Abullah and US Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker and US General David Patraeus in April 2008.
According to the leaked document, part of the conversation between King Abdullah and the US officials touched on Saudi attitudes towards Iran, its influence in Iraq and the need to increase pressure on the Islamic Republic.
The cable quotes former Saudi Ambassador to the US Adel al-Jubeir recalling, "the King's frequent exhortations to the US to attack Iran and so put an end to its nuclear weapons program. 'He told you to cut off the head of the snake,' he recalled to the Charge, adding that working with the US to roll back Iranian influence in Iraq is a strategic priority for the King and his government."
The document says that the Saudi foreign minister called for "severe US and international sanctions on Iran, including a travel ban and further restrictions on bank lending." It added that, "the foreign minister also stated that the use of military pressure against Iran should not be ruled out."
In its assessment, the US Embassy cable concluded that the Saudis, "are eager to work with the US to resist and reverse Iranian encroachment in Iraq."

Why Hasn’t Our Government Stopped Wikileaks? Does Obama Hate America That Much?
By Nicholas Contompasis
Why haven’t the U.S. government and the U.S. military stopped Wilileaks? Why has our government acted so crippled and defenseless as this website reveals many of our top secrets and internal communiqués?
The U.S. military with its ability to destroy any nation with a press of a button just keeps taking it, as Wikileaks continues to humiliate the strongest military in the world. Now, on the eve of a third release of top diplomatic communiqués, this time between our State Department and its allies, Wikileaks is about to humiliate again. But is it?
To understand any attack one should first look at the target and who benefits from the hit. The targets so far have been our military and tonight’s release will be of our State Department and most likely members of it. This in turn will most likely affect our relations with our allies. So, simply stated, Wikileaks targets are the U.S. Military and our relations with our allies. Thus, the thrust of the attacks is on our influence and military strength around the world.
Now that we have the target defined we need to understand who benefits from the attacks. Of course we could list every enemy in the world that hates America, but that would be too simplistic and obvious. It goes much deeper and is more insidious.
I ask you to think about who has the power and the ability to restrain the United States Military and Government from going after Wikileaks? Why has the strongest military and government in the world stopped short of making this guy and his website disappear?
Well, maybe it could be our very own President! With his inability to control the U.S. military while at war and his now well documented hatred for all that is American around the world, this President very well may be attempting to sabotage both efforts. Behind the scenes along with his European connections using George Soros who we all know hates America; it is conceivable that a diabolical plan is at work.
Of course that could be a stretch naming George Soros as a key player but I think you got the concept. Now, let’s take this further. Who benefits politically from the release of State Department communiqués? Besides the obvious destruction of confidence between our allies, It will be very important to see if Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State is humiliated in these messages. I’ve been informed over the past week that Hillary has been frantically in damage control with diplomats around the world about this Wikileaks release leading me to believe that she is about to be thrown to the wolves. Hillary Clinton is Barack Obama’s key nemesis for his reelection bid and any move to discredit her is predictable. Of course by using Wikileaks his hands would be clean and Hillary’s political career would implode.
Needless to say, this evening’s release of highly sensitive communiqués will be another attack on America’s superiority around the world and unfortunately the American people will eventually have to pay for its country’s diminished strength. To think that our very own President is at the bottom of this hideous plan to destroy America is unsettling but believable, isn’t it?

Graham says he has the votes to keep KSM terror trial at Guantanamo Bay
By Bridget Johnson
Borrowed from The Hill
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday that he believes he has the votes to keep professed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed from being tried in a U.S. civilian court.
The senator said on "Fox News Sunday" he believed in an "all of the above" approach to trying terror suspects that could utilize civilian courts and military commissions, but said he would do "everything in my power" to keep Mohammed and 9/11 co-conspirators from being tried in a civilian court.
"It is a disaster waiting to happen," Graham said. "I believe I have the votes to block it."
The administration's plans for trying future terror suspects is in limbo since Ahmed Ghailani, a Guantanamo detainee charged in the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, was acquitted on 284 counts and convicted on one charge of conspiracy to commit terrorist acts.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton stressed last weekend that there will be a recommendation coming from Attorney General Eric Holder on trying Mohammed.
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) said on the same program that "each case needs to be dictated by the facts" and the "very highest" operatives behind the 9/11 attacks should be tried in military courts, but stressed it should be on a "case-by-case basis."
"He was ready to plead guilty before the Obama administration stopped the trial," Graham said of Mohammed sending a note to the military judge in his case back in 2008, expressing his desire to plead guilty.

English People - New Poll - 99% Want Out of European Union - Could the Currency Be Next?
By Macer Hall
A MASSIVE wave of public support was last night surging behind the Daily Express’s crusade to liberate Britain from the stranglehold of Brussels.
An exclusive poll conducted on the first day of our crusade showed an astonishing 99 per cent of people agree we should quit the European Union.
In an indication of the strength of public feeling on the issue, the poll saw the biggest ever response to a Daily Express phone survey, with tens of thousands of people swamping our switchboards.
The newspaper’s phone lines and website were flooded with people backing our pioneering decision to become the first national newspaper in the country to call for British independence from the EU. And around the country, voters made clear their deep frustration with Brussels meddling and their anger that Britain has not been given a referendum on our EU membership for a generation, despite promises by several Governments.

GOP to Democrats and Administration – Let the Beatings Begin – Broad Subpoena Power to Take Down the Obama Administration and His Czars – Take No Prisoners
Borrowed from the New York Times – Thank you By David M. Herszenhorn
WASHINGTON — The Republican who will lead the chief investigative committee in the House is planning to vastly expand scrutiny of the Obama administration by seeking new subpoena powers for dozens of federal agency watchdogs in hopes of using their investigations and his own in an aggressive push to cut spending and shrink the government.
The Republican, Representative Darrell Issa of California, who will take over as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has said the government needs “to go on a diet” to help erase the annual budget deficit of $1.4 trillion. His goal as chairman, he said in a recent speech, is to “focus on places where money can be saved, where we can literally close agencies or subagencies or programs.”
It is a far broader policy mandate than was embraced by predecessors in both parties, who viewed their role as chief Congressional inquisitor of the executive administration. “What my committee has to do is, it has to stretch what it has done in the past,” Mr. Issa said.
His agenda may surprise some Congressional Democrats and White House officials who are bracing for Mr. Issa to paper Washington with investigative subpoenas in a broader crusade to bring down President Obama.

America - There's No Time to Waste
By Nicholas Contompasis
There's no time to waste. America must install a federal government that it can trust. Trust is the key ingredient. At this point, unfortunately, Americans can't and shouldn't trust any branch of our federal government, from the Internal Revenue Service to the Department of Education. Even the Department of Homeland Security seems to have it's own agenda now. Every branch except the military so far appears to have been corrupted by this insidious Administration. Call it Paranoia, call it what you will, but to be on the safe side one should minimize contact until you can trust the government once more. Its sad that I have to write this but many Americans still aren't paying attention. This past November's elections were a start but that small start could be derailed by 2012, so it's up to every citizen to be on guard against getting involved with our government, if possible. The less involvement, the better.
There is no doubt that from the Attorney General's Office to the Environmental Protection Agency, our government is attempting to destroy our way of life. Even states are now under suspicion with their attempts to override or enforce federal laws that just don't fit into their political game plan. Yes, it seems that this administration has overlooked the people of this great nation for their own monetary and ideological gains. Anyone who gets in their way is crushed with smears, lawsuits, fines and over regulation of industries.
We must have a federal government that we can trust, not a machine that will eventually turn us all into Soylent Green. There's no time to waste.

"The Dr Foster report revealed 30,500 patients developed a blood clot, more than 13,000 mothers suffered an obstetric tear while giving birth, almost 10,000 patients suffered an accidental puncture or laceration, more than 2,000 had post-operative intestinal bleeding and 1,300 patients contracted blood poisoning after surgery."
The study also discloses that tens of thousands of patients were harmed in hospital when they developed avoidable blood clots, suffered obstetric tears during childbirth, accidental lacerations or puncture wounds, or post-surgery intestinal bleeding and blood poisoning, The Observer reported.
The study identified four trusts where an unexpectedly high number of patients died after surgery, including Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust where there were 33 more deaths than should have been expected.
It is not possible to say how many of these deaths could have been prevented.

Feds: Somali-born teen plotted car-bombing in Oregon
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say a Somali-born teenager plotted to carry out a car bomb attack at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in downtown Portland on Friday but the bomb turned out to be a dud supplied by undercover agents as part of a sting.
Mohamed Osman Mohamud was arrested at about 5:45 p.m. just after he dialed a cellphone that he thought would blow up a van laden with explosives but instead brought federal agents and Portland police swooping in to take him into custody.
Federal court documents show the sting operation began in June after an undercover agent learned that Mohamud had been in contact with an "unindicted associate" in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier region.
Mohamed is a naturalized U.S. citizen who has been living in Corvallis.

James Bond is Alive and Well - One of the Best Articles You'll Read All Year
By Ed Barnes
Borrowed from Fox News - Thank you.
In the 20th century, this would have been a job for James Bond.
The mission: Infiltrate the highly advanced, securely guarded enemy headquarters where scientists in the clutches of an evil master are secretly building a weapon that can destroy the world. Then render that weapon harmless and escape undetected.
But in the 21st century, Bond doesn't get the call. Instead, the job is handled by a suave and very sophisticated secret computer worm, a jumble of code called Stuxnet, which in the last year has not only crippled Iran's nuclear program but has caused a major rethinking of computer security around the globe.
Intelligence agencies, computer security companies and the nuclear industry have been trying to analyze the worm since it was discovered in June by a Belarus-based company that was doing business in Iran. And what they've all found, says Sean McGurk, the Homeland Security Department's acting director of national cyber security and communications integration, is a “game changer.”
The construction of the worm was so advanced, it was “like the arrival of an F-35 into a World War I battlefield,” says Ralph Langner, the computer expert who was the first to sound the alarm about Stuxnet. Others have called it the first “weaponized” computer virus.
Simply put, Stuxnet is an incredibly advanced, undetectable computer worm that took years to construct and was designed to jump from computer to computer until it found the specific, protected control system that it aimed to destroy: Iran’s nuclear enrichment program.

The US Embassy in Tel Aviv has informed the Prime Minister's Office that the website WikiLeaks was planning on releasing US diplomatic cables, of which some may deal with Israel-America relations.
The reason the US gave for informing the Israeli government is that they wanted to make sure Israel was prepared for publicity that might cause diplomatic embarrassment, and would not be surprised by the comments.
US warns of harm from impending WikiLeaks release
On Wednesday the Obama administration said it had alerted Congress and begun notifying foreign governments that the WikiLeaks website is preparing to release sensitive US diplomatic files that could damage US relations with friends and allies across the globe.
"These revelations are harmful to the United States and our interests," State Department spokesman PJ Crowley said. "They are going to create tension in relationships between our diplomats and our friends around the world."
Crowley said the release of confidential communications about foreign governments probably will erode trust in the United States as a diplomatic partner and could cause embarrassment if the files should include derogatory or critical comments about friendly foreign leaders.
US diplomatic outposts around the world have begun notifying other governments that WikiLeaks may release these documents in the coming days, Crowley told reporters.
A major focus of the documents is Europe, but the cables are likely to touch on relations with many important countries in Asia and elsewhere, another official said, speaking anonymously in order to discuss internal deliberations.

Obama's Grandmother "prays for him to convert to Islam" - Hey Grandma - He Already Has!
By JPOST.COM STAFF
US president's 88-year-old Kenyan grandmother on pilgrimage to Mecca refuses to discuss grandson's politics, reports suggest.
US President Barack Obama's Kenyan grandmother prayed on a pilgrimage to Mecca that her grandson convert to Islam, according to reports by Al-Qatan.
Sarah Omar, 88, told the Saudi daily "I prayed for my grandson Barack to convert to Islam".
The report suggested that Ms Omar was in Saudi Arabia on pilgrimage along with her son, Mr Obama's uncle Saeed Hussein Obama, and four of her grandchildren.
She told the newspaper, however, that she could only discuss hajj matters and would not comment on Obama's politics.
Ever since he launched his White House campaign, Obama has been dogged by speculation over his religion.
US opinion polls in August found that as many as one in four Americans believe that the US president is a Muslim.

Obama is Using the IRS to Attack Jewish Nonprofits That Support Israel
IRS to Jewish group Z-Street: 'Does your organization support the existence of the land of Israel?'
(Politico).Pennsylvania Jewish group Z-street has claimed the Internal Revenue Service is targeting pro-Israel groups introduced in federal court today a letter from an IRS agent to another, unnamed organization that tax experts said was likely outside the usual or appropriate scope of an IRS inquiry.
"Does your organization support the existence of the land of Israel?" IRS agent Tracy Dornette wrote the organization, according to this week's court filing, as part of its consideration of the organizations application for tax exempt status. "Describe your organization's religious belief sytem toward the land of Israel."
The document emerged in the course of a lawsuit filed in August by Z Street, a hawkish group that casts itself as the Zionist answer to the liberal J Street. Z Street claims that a different IRS agent reviewing its application for tax exempt status said the agency is "carefully scrutinizing organizations that are in any way connected with Israel" and that "a special unit" is determining whether its activities "contradict the Administration's public policies.'"

South Korea Prepares For Further Attacks By The North - Will Obama Really Protect Them?
by Jung Ha-Won –
YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea (AFP) – South Korea said Thursday it would send more troops and guns to frontline islands, as North Korea warned it could follow up this week's deadly shelling with more attacks.
Pyongyang's fresh warning came as a US aircraft carrier headed for the tense peninsula to join war games to be staged as a show of force to the nuclear-armed communist state.
The North's unprecedented artillery bombardment of Yeonpyeong island on Tuesday killed two marines and two civilians, injured 18 more people and turned homes into charred ruins.
It claimed its first political victim when the South's Defense Minister Kim Tae-Young resigned, following growing criticism that Seoul's military and government reacted too softly to the assault.
The government said Thursday it would revise its rules of engagement, allowing troops to hit back harder if necessary.
Tuesday's attack was the first time the North had shelled a civilian area since the 1950-53 war.
It provoked the worst crisis on the peninsula in years, with the international community agonizing over how to respond. South Korea and the United States, among others, pressed China to rein in its neighbor.
The North accused the United States and its "warmongering South Korean puppets" of provoking the attack. It said South Korea's military in an exercise fired shells within what the North claims as its own waters.
The regime said that if the South commits "another reckless military provocation, our army will carry out second and third rounds of powerful physical retaliatory strikes without hesitation".

Red China is Not Happy – Have You Noticed?
Today Rush Limbaugh reminded me of something I’d rather forget, the mysterious missile blast off the coast of Los Angeles, ten days ago. It seems that ever since President Obama visited India, and proclaimed that India would become a permanent member of the Security Council in the United Nations, we’ve been enduring unusual incidents.
Hours after this announcement the country experienced the mysterious missile blast from international waters just thirty miles off the coast of L.A. with only silence from our military. It’s now been over ten days and the story has been continually swept under the carpet by most until Limbaugh’s comment today.
Make no mistake about it, Rush knows a lot of important people. His friendship with high ranking Senators, Supreme Court Justices, Generals and Commanders is well known, so when he says that he has spoken to many people and experts about this incident and comes away stating that it was a Chinese missile blast, America should take note. I’ve listened to Rush since he first went on the air in Sacramento in 1988, just before he went national, and haven’t missed many days since. His words have always helped especially during trying days such as these. His laser like focus on issues always kept me on point when I thought I was straying or felt that my conservative principles were wavering.
The point is that Rush isn’t a kook or nutcase who wildly speculates about current events. He’s right on the money nearly every time, as he brags that he’s 99.8% correct.
Is it possible that Red China is angry with the United States since we used them like an overworked coolie, manufacturing our goods at rock bottom prices, and leaving them with our massive debt as we move on to India to do probably the very same thing? It seems so.
Last night while I was reviewing news tweets for a new story, it hit. The bombing of a South Korean island by the North had just been announced by CNN and that sixty homes had been destroyed with many dead and wounded. I was still unsettled from Rush’s comment about the missile when this happened. It all made sense now and Rush was correct, Red China is angry at the U.S., very angry.
There’s no doubt that Korea is Red China’s wild card that they play against the west to test how serious we are. Well, it seems that new theater of war is about to heat up and Red China is obviously pulling strings. They now feel they have a license to go as far as they want since the Obama Administration refuses to do anything, anywhere.
The obvious cowardice and inexperience of this President is now encouraging our enemies to take bolder steps against us which is endangering every American. To think that a Chinese missile blasting off just thirty miles from one of our largest cities is frightening and should have every American preparing for the worst. Yet, America and our President continue to look the other way, while they stuff turkeys and mash potatoes for possibly their last supper.

BREAKING NEWS - War Has Broken Out Between North And South Korea
By EVAN RAMSTAD
SEOUL—North Korea fired artillery at South Korea's Yeonpyeong island in the Yellow Sea off the countries' west coast Tuesday afternoon, setting houses on fire. South Korea returned fire, according to residents on the island speaking on South Korea's YTN television network.
In a file picture taken on May 31, 2009 a North Korean navy patrol boat is seen amongst North Korean fishing boats from the South Korea-controlled Yeonpyeong island in the disputed waters of the Yellow Sea. Several North Korean artillery shells landed on a South Korean border island on November 23, 2010 damaging homes and causing injuries, YTN television reported.
A spokesman for South Korea's joint chief of staff confirmed the exchange but didn't have details except to say "scores of rounds" were fired by the North.
The artillery—more than 50 rounds, according to island residents speaking on YTN—was fired from positions south of the North Korean city of Haeju.
The attack started at 2:34 p.m. local time, according to residents who were speaking on the TV network. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
About 1,200 people live on the island, which is 10 kilometers south of the tip of North Korea's south coast.
The attack is the second by North Korea this year against South Korea in the maritime border area of the Yellow Sea. In March, a North Korean submarine torpedoed and sank a South Korean warship near an island about 40 miles west of the island that was hit Tuesday.
Today the Federal Reserve is the Largest Single Holder of U.S. Debt - Not China
Well, folks, it's official - mark November 22, 2010 in your calendars - today is the day the Ponzi starts in earnest. With today's $8.3 billion POMO monetization, the Fed's official holdings of US Treasury securities now amount to $891.3 billion, which is higher than the second largest holder of US debt: China, which as of September 30 held $884 billion, and Japan, with $864 billion. The purists will claim that the TIC data is as of September 30, and that as the weekly custodial account shows UST buying continues the data is likely not correct. They will be wrong: with the Fed now buying about $30 billion per week, or about $120 billion per month, for the foreseeable future and beyond, it would mean that China would need to buy a comparable amount to be in the standing. It won't. In other words, the Ponzi operation is now complete, and the Fed's monetization of US debt has made it not only the largest holder of such debt, but made external funding checks and balances in the guise of indirect auction bidding, irrelevant. For what tends to happen next in comparable case studies, please read the Dying of Money. And congratulations to China for finally not being the one having the most to lose on a DV01 basis on that day when the inevitable surge in interest rates finally happens. That honor is now strictly reserved for America's taxpayers.
Oh This is Good - Obama Administration Blows It - Fake Taliban Leader Takes Them For Millions in Contrived Peace Talks - Back to Square One
Published: November 22, 2010
KABUL, Afghanistan — For months, the secret talks unfolding between Taliban and Afghan leaders to end the war appeared to be showing promise, if only because of the repeated appearance of a certain insurgent leader at one end of the table: Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansour, one of the most senior commanders in the Taliban movement.
But now, it turns out, Mr. Mansour was apparently not Mr. Mansour at all. In an episode that could have been lifted from a spy novel, United States and Afghan officials now say the Afghan man was an impostor, and high-level discussions conducted with the assistance of NATO appear to have achieved little.
“It’s not him,” said a Western diplomat in Kabul intimately involved in the discussions. “And we gave him a lot of money.”

Iran Sponsors Nazi Internet Site
The site, irannazi.ir, says it is the home of the "Historical Research Society for World War Two and the Third Reich." According to conservative news website TABNAK it was blocked temporarily but then reopened, saying the suspension had been due to complaints by Iranian Jews.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has many times denied the Nazis' extermination of millions of Jews during World War II. Ahmadinejad angered Israel and its allies by calling the Holocaust a "myth" and a "lie" and has predicted the end of Israel as a state.
Israel, which Iran refuses to recognize, has warned Iran over its nuclear program which Tehran says is purely peaceful but which many countries fear could be a cover for developing nuclear weapons.

WikiLeaks to Release More U.S. Military Documents Soon
"Next release is 7x the size of the Iraq War Logs," the group stated via Twitter. "Intense pressure over it for months. Keep us strong."
In October, WikiLeaks released nearly 400,000 U.S. military reports about operations in Iraq. In July, it released more than 70,000 reports from the war in Afghanistan.
Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan said last month that the Defense Department has been bracing for the release of more secrets by WikiLeaks. Lapan said WikiLeaks has more Pentagon material beyond what the group's founder, Julian Assange, has admitted publicly to possessing.

This Explain's How Red China Rerouted Our Military Internet Traffic Through Their Computers and Back to Ours While Recording Everything
Vernon Harris 32 Rodriguez McCain 29
By Nicholas Contompasis
In April of this year the Communist Chinese rerouted our military Internet traffic out of our network and into theirs for 18 minutes and sent it back again. In the meantime the Chinese had time to record and analyze some very top secret information and procedures.
On September 1st of this year, the home of Yaw Owusu (picture not included) a black American civilian computer technician for the military had his home raided by military criminal investigators. He was arrested along with stolen military property and computers. It appears that he had two other accomplices who are still at large. I have included their pictures at the top of this article. What’s interesting about this case is that Mr. Owusu received $50,000-$60,000 for between 150 to 300 military laptop computers stolen from three secured military facilities.
One would wonder who would pay that much for a bunch of stolen, very hot military computers? Could it be that these computers found their way to Red China to help in their never ending attack on our Internet and technology stealing? What is also interesting about this is that after almost nine months we’ve heard very little about these two stories, which leads me to believe they are connected and have international implications. We all know that Red China has spies operating here in the U.S. and in the past they’ve been mostly involved in corporate espionage, but now it seems they’ve raised the stakes and got caught at it. It will be interesting to see how this all washes out, if we live that long.
The following two stories from the Associated Press and CNN back up the events I’ve discussed.
November 20, 2010
- MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Naval investigators are searching for more suspects believed to be involved in the theft of as many as 300 laptop computers from Navy facilities in Tennessee, Louisiana and Pennsylvania. One suspect, 33-year-old Yaw Owusu, of Memphis, admitted receiving $50,000 for about 150 laptops he stole and was bound over to a grand jury after a preliminary hearing Friday on felony charges of theft of property. An affidavit obtained by The Commercial Appeal revealed the laptops were stolen from secure military installations in Millington, Tenn., New Orleans and Mechanicsburg, Pa. The records did not disclose when or how the computers were stolen. Investigators asked Shelby County Sheriff's Office for assistance in the search for two more suspects in the case, 29-year-old Rodriguez McCain and 32-year-old Vernon Harris.
November 17, 2010
- Washington (CNN) -- Internet traffic from several U.S. government agency sites was briefly diverted through servers in China in April, congressional investigators reported Wednesday.For 18 minutes, about 15 percent of all web traffic was redirected through China, including traffic to and from the sites of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, the office of the Secretary of Defense, the Senate and NASA, according to a report delivered to Congress by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission.Investigators say the web traffic was diverted by China Telecom, a state-owned enterprise.They do not know whether the diversion was intentional, whether the government of China played any role, or whether any sensitive data was compromised.The report says that the irregular routing could have allowed the surveillance of users or sites, the disruption or diversion of communications and the compromising of supposedly secure encrypted sessions.Pentagon spokeswoman Lt. Col. April Cunningham said the Defense Department "is concerned about any Internet traffic being intentionally rerouted outside of the usual operations." But, she said, "the security of Department of Defense information is not affected by misdirection of Internet traffic." The Pentagon had no information to confirm whether the incident occurred, she said.The Pentagon is in the process of establishing procedures "to address any potential current and future vulnerability," Cunningham told CNN.
Is This Why We Are In Afghanistan - Are We Just Plain Stupid? I Say Nuke All of Them - What Say You?
From Matiullah Mati for CNN:
An Afghan Christian, detained for months for allegedly converting to Christianity from Islam, could face trial as early as next week - and could face a potential death penalty, officials said Sunday.
Said Musa was arrested by Afghan Interior Ministry intelligence authorities near the German Embassy in Kabul because of the allegations, said Qamaruddin Shenwari, director of the Kabul courts' north zone. The exact date of his arrest is not known.
The case against Musa has not yet been finalized, said Mohammad Najim Hamidi, director of public security at Zone 3 of the Kabul courts. He could face trial next week if the case is prepared by then, Hamidi said. It was earlier thought Musa's trial would begin on Sunday.
The Afghan Constitution does not mention converting from one religion to another, so the judge will take Islamic law into account, officials said.
"According to Afghanistan's constitution, if there is no clear verdict as to whether an act is criminal or not in the penal code of the Afghan Constitution, then it would be referred to sharia law where the judge has an open hand in reaching a verdict," Shenwari said.
Under sharia law, converting from Islam to Christianity is punishable by death.
It was not immediately clear where Musa was being held and whether he has access to his attorney or relatives.
The U.S. State Department said last week in its annual International Religious Freedom Report that "respect for religious freedom" decreased in Afghanistan in the last year, "particularly toward Christian groups and individuals."
Christians, Hindus and Sikhs - as well as Muslims whose practices don't satisfy the government or society - suffer "intolerance in the form of harassment, occasional violence, discrimination and inflammatory public statements," the report said. It estimated the Afghan Christian community ranges from 500 to 8,000 people.
al-Qaeda Magazine Says They Targeted Chicago Because It Was "Obama's City"
(CNN) -- A recent terror operation involving parcel bombs on UPS and FedEx flights cost just $4,200, according to a report in a magazine that analysts say is published by al Qaeda's branch in Yemen.
Inspire magazine dedicates its latest issue to the plot, which it calls "Operation Hemorrhage."
"The operation has succeeded in achieving its objectives. We thank Allah for His blessings," says the magazine, released late Saturday.
The article al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's claim of responsibility for the October plot to ship bombs disguised as printer toner cartridges on cargo planes.
On October 29, local authorities in the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates intercepted parcel bombs sent from Yemen and addressed to U.S. synagogues.
Al Qaeda bombmakers designed the parcel bombs to pass through detection devices and elude sniffer dogs, according to the article. It lists -- excluding metals from detonators, making the explosive mimic printer toner and integrating the bombs' circuits into printer cartridge circuits -- as methods of averting security detection.
The magazine also repeats a controversial claim of responsibility for the September 3 crash of a UPS flight in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which killed the two crew members.
No evidence has surfaced of an explosion aboard the UPS cargo plane that crashed in September, officials in the United Arab Emirates have said. But authorities there have also said they are seriously looking into AQAP's claim.
But in a security bulletin earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have concluded the AQAP statement was authentic, but they dismissed the group's claim that it was involved in the September UPS plane crash.
"Other terrorist organizations have falsely claimed credit for events with a high media profile to bolster their image and external perceptions of their operational capabilities," the bulletin said.
Inspire praises the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States for their destruction and for the high number of lives they took. But it touts smaller, simpler attacks for the future.
"It is more feasible to stage smaller attacks that involve less players and less time to launch and thus we may circumvent the security barriers America worked so hard to erect," Inspire writes, calling this "the strategy of a thousand cuts."
Inspire says the strategy raises the cost of security in target countries, particularly the U.S., putting a further drag on an already weakened economy.
The article also directs a message at U.S. President Barack Obama and points out that terrorists had addressed the parcel bombs to synagogues "in Chicago, Obama's city."
"We have struck against your aircrafts twice within one year," Inspire writes, "and we will continue di recting our blows towards your interests and the interests of your allies."
IntelCenter CEO Ben Venzke said a media organization connected to al Qaeda in the Arabaian Peninsula publishes the English-language magazine, which first came out in July.
Intelligence officials believe Samir Khan, an American citizen now living in Yemen, is the driving force behind the magazine.

Americas Biggest Arms Deal Goes to a Muslim Country - Good Idea?
Its 9:41 P.M. E.S.T. Saturday November 20th 2010 and our congress has less than three hours to object to a $60 billion arms deal with the Saudis. This little deal, the largest arms deal in American history, is a good one for all of you armchair military strategists. Of course, you may have missed this, but no surprise since the media has conveniently buried it at every turn. Rest assured this is no little thing that can be swept under the carpet. The motives, entanglements and suspicions that ensnare this arms deal read like a James Bond novel with not just one enemy but several and could lead to a colossal catastrophe in the Middle East and elsewhere.
There is no doubt that Israel now leads this region in military strength with only Iran a distant second. But when Iran does develop a bomb, which may have already occurred, the balance of power will tip more in their favor, leaving a stalemate of sorts.
Now, we have from left field the Obama arms deal that will modernize the Saudi’s air-ground power and defense systems against a foe, but what foe? Is Israel the foe? Is Iran the foe? Who are they defending themselves from? Those are the big questions many on Capitol Hill and in the halls of the Pentagon are asking.
If one took the time to observe the political reaction to this deal by our congressmen and our President you would think no one cares a damn about it, except a Congressman by the name of Anthony Weiner from New York who is adamantly against the deal. Weiner is a perfect example of strange goings on in government today. It’s no secret that he has just married a Muslim-American from an Iranian background. He is considered very liberal and has voted for everything Nancy Pelosi has stuck down his throat, but his reaction to this bill a bit of a quandary that I’m sure the White House would like to stifle.
For some strange reason, well, maybe not so strange, the Obama Administration wants this under the radar and any squawking by young upstarts like Weiner is not welcome. Weiner proclaims, since he’s Jewish so far, that he worries about the homeland, Israel, and its ability to survive a well armed Saudi Arabia and a nuclear Iran, which, frankly is a damn good question that our President and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates are ignoring.
It’s no secret that Obama is friends with the Royal family and has been reported to have been helped through law school by a wing of this family that donates heavily to Harvard. That wing of the family is Prince al-Waleed, the wealthiest Muslim in the world, according to Forbes Magazine. It's also no secret that The Kingdom could be taken over by al-Qaeda, since they have been making inroads in the south and in Yemen.
What is interesting about the entangling alliances or could we say ensnaring missteps of this administration is that, there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it other than to favor Saudi Arabia. They are the only winners in this deal except of course for the many defense contractors who will benefit from this lucrative deal.
Now, to go further, we have the President in Europe this weekend meeting with NATO heads and setting up a European missile defense system to protect them from a nuclear Iran. This is just another bit of news that I’m sure is making his supporters on the left spin in confusion. They want out of everything everywhere and he just keeps extending Bush era policies.
I have found it interesting that this President would rather arm Europe and the Middle East with anti-Iran weaponry rather than take the necessary steps to bomb Iran into the fifteenth century relieving just about everyone in the region and the world. Yet, he plays this game of protect rather than attack. He knows that a nuclear Iran and its octopi like tentacles that reach deep into Europe and now North America will never go away, as he sets the stage for the next big war that our children will be fighting.

Sarah Palin's publisher sues Gawker Media for publishing leaked book excerpts
BY MEENA HARTENSTEIN
Platt/Getty
Palin's upcoming book 'America By Heart' was leaked all over the Internet this week.
Sarah Palin's new book hits stores in just a few days, but until then, she doesn't want anyone to read it.
After pages of her book "America By Heart" leaked all over the Internet this week, Palin's publisher HarperCollins announced on Friday it is suing Gawker Media for posting the excerpt and refusing to take it down.
The lawsuit was filed Friday in New York, a HarperCollins spokeswoman confirmed to The Associated Press.
On Wednesday, Gawker posted scanned images of 21 leaked pages from the book, allowing users to click and read each image.
In the excerpt, which was also published on other blogs, Palin takes aim at the President and First Lady, contestants on "American Idol," 80's TV character Murphy Brown, and Levi Johnston, the father of her daughter Bristol's baby.
She also describes her tenuous relationship with the press.
"More than once I thought, 'How could this be worth it?'" she writes. "'Let's just go back to Wasilla and stop feeding the media beast. Let's give ourselves and our family a break.'"
Palin, of course, has not shied away from the media since then. She currently serves as a Fox contributor and stars in her own reality show, while daughter is a contestant on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."
The day after Gawker published the pages, Palin saw them circulating around the internet and took to Twitter to protest.
"The publishing world is LEAKING out-of-context excerpts of my book w/out my permission? Isn't that illegal?" she wrote on Thursday, linking to a conservative blog which had posted the leaked material as well.
Gawker responded with a post titled "Sarah Palin is Mad at Us for Leaking Pages From Her Book," which, in the site's typical snarky style, referred the ex-Alaska Gov. to Wikipedia's page on "Fair Use."
"Or skip the totally boring reading and call one of your lawyers," Gawker added. "They'll walk you through it."
But Palin's lawyers don't seem to think it's that simple.

Palin's upcoming book 'America By Heart' was leaked all over the Internet this week.
Sarah Palin's new book hits stores in just a few days, but until then, she doesn't want anyone to read it.
After pages of her book "America By Heart" leaked all over the Internet this week, Palin's publisher HarperCollins announced on Friday it is suing Gawker Media for posting the excerpt and refusing to take it down.
The lawsuit was filed Friday in New York, a HarperCollins spokeswoman confirmed to The Associated Press.
On Wednesday, Gawker posted scanned images of 21 leaked pages from the book, allowing users to click and read each image.

Proof That Racist Liberal White Democrats Control the Democrat Party
On January 1ST 2011, in just a few weeks, 14% of the United States will not be represented in the U.S. Senate. Senator Roland Burris of Illinois will be leaving his position and will emphasize the now glaring hypocrisy that is the Democrat Party. The loyal black vote that votes nearly 100% Democrat in every election is once again not represented by their own in the elite Senate.
This is the same Democrat Party that moved heaven and earth to elect a half white, half black unknown to the Presidency. It’s now a known fact that the party lied and cheated to have Barack Obama placed as a front runner for President, while railroading Hillary Clinton the obvious leader in the race.
Yet, when it comes time to move well-educated and well-spoken blacks into the Senate they, the Democrat Party ignore them and opt out for other ethnic groups such as Jews which seems to be their ethnic group of choice. What is a little known fact in the U.S. Senate is that there are 15 liberal Jewish Senators out of 100 as of this date. The Jewish population in America is now 1.9% compared to 14% blacks. Sometimes, I wonder if black America even knows of this.
This is so indicative of professional football of the past, where for years, you never saw a black quarterback, yet the line was entirely black, loyally protecting its white ball chucker from onrushing opponents. Was there fear in white owner’s hearts that a black quarterback would be perceived as a spear chucker? Who knows, but it was just as obvious as what is going on in our Senate and someone should do something about it.
One wonders what the black population in the United States is thinking when an event like this occurs, or are they just not thinking? Is it possible they just don’t care as long as they get their government handout and a pat on the head? I for one don’t believe that and won’t ever believe it. Something else is going on within the inner sanctums of the Democrat Party that could be more racist than anything they spew onto the Right. Maybe the white Democrats realize that black America is larger than they are now and could end up controlling them if they didn’t keep the chains of racism close at hand.
Whatever it is that keeps the black man down in the Democrat Party, it’s not his fault. It’s more about the racist power-hungry liberal whites, fearful of a Mandingo-like takeover. It would be like the rape of their beautiful white wives as they’re carried off with smiles on their faces, the wives that is, and no liberal-racist Democrat could live with that one. Yes, there are liberal racists and they control the Democrat Party.
Tough Love Time for the 2 Million on Extended Unemployment - Checks Will End - Can You Cut Grass?
About 2 million long-term jobless Americans most likely will see the last of their unemployment benefits this month after the House failed in a bid to extend the compensation program for another three months.
The emergency legislation needed a super-majority of two-thirds to pass. But it fell short as 11 Democrats joined most Republicans in opposing it. The foes said the latest extension was not financed through cuts in other programs and would cost the Treasury $12.5 billion in additional borrowing. Even if the bill had passed the House, it would have faced an uphill climb in the Senate.
"I think it's a sad moment -- it appalls me that the Republicans keep pitching and pitching the tax cuts for the rich and won't join in a bill to help people keep their homes and not have to live in their cars," Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) told the Huffington Post. Grayson was defeated earlier this month in his campaign for reelection. And for the record, 21 Republicans voted for the extension.
With the unemployment rate stuck at 9.6 percent, Congress could try again on a jobless extension bill after the Thanksgiving break.

Liberal Hollywood Clowns Lose a Big Wall Street Case
Funny-men Will Ferrell and Larry David were laughed off the stage recently by Wall Street's self-policing arm, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, for their slapstick effort to sue brokerage firm JPMorgan Securities.
Movie star Ferrell, and David, of "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm," lost an $18 million arbitration case against JPMorgan last week when Finra, which handles brokerage complaints, tossed their case and fined them $634,000.

Important New Military Move in Afghanistan
The U.S. is sending heavily armored battle tanks to Afghanistan for the first time in the nine-year war. The 68-ton, jet-engine powered M1 Abrams tanks are a sign of the recent escalation in counter insurgency operations; Special Operations missions to kill or capture Taliban leaders have more than tripled over the past three months, and U.S. and NATO aircraft have dropped more bombs and fired more missiles in October than in any other month since 2001. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has criticized the stepped-up military intensity, but U.S. officials say it’s been effective, especially in securing the area around Kandahar. The Marines wanted to bring tanks when they started deploying in large numbers in spring 2009, but Gen. David McKiernan, the coalition commander at the time, said it could remind Afghans of the tank-heavy Soviet Union.

George Soros the Puppet Master is Looking for a New Puppet - Is Hitler Available? How About a Four by Four Cell George For Like the Rest of Your Life
WASHINGTON -- At a private meeting on Tuesday afternoon, George Soros, a longtime supporter of progressive causes, voiced blunt criticism of the Obama administration, going so far as to suggest that Democratic donors direct their support somewhere other than the president.
The Hungarian-American financier was speaking to a small side gathering of donors who had convened in Washington D.C. for the annual gathering of the Democracy Alliance -- a formal community of well-funded, progressive-minded individuals and activists.
According to multiple sources with knowledge of his remarks, Soros told those in attendance that he is "used to fighting losing battles but doesn't like to lose without fighting."
"We have just lost this election, we need to draw a line," he said, according to several Democratic sources. "And if this president can't do what we need, it is time to start looking somewhere else."
Michael Vachon, an adviser to Soros, did not dispute the comment, though he stressed that there was no transcript of a private gathering to check. Vachon also clarified that the longtime progressive giver was not referring to a primary challenge to the president.
"Mr. Soros fully supports the president as the leader of the Democratic Party," said Vachon. "He was not suggesting that we seek another candidate for 2012. His comments were made in a private, informal conversation that was about the need for progressives to be more forceful in promoting their agenda. He was stressing the importance of being heard by elected officials."
Dissatisfaction with the Obama administration was not limited to Soros's private gathering with donors. On Wednesday morning, Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina received several tough questions during his address to the Democracy Alliance. According to a source in the room, he was pressed multiple times as to why the administration has declined to be more combative with Republicans, both in communication and legislative strategy. Another source in the room said the exchange was not entirely contentious as people were simply expressing frustration about the fact that "we just came out of an election where the right wing and the Republicans distorted what was going on."

WikiLeaks Founder - Swedish Court Issues Warrant For Rape - I Want Him in Jail
Assange has made several public appearances in recent weeks in London, and his lawyer in Britain told the New York Times the charges are "false and without basis." But the 39-year-old's whereabouts Thursday were not clear.
Swedish prosecutor Marianne Ny said she sought Assange's detention because he is under suspicion for "rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion," the Times said. To this point, Ny said, "we have been unable to interrogate him." Ny said she would seek the arrest warrant through Interpol, the international police organization.

Rangel Begs For Mercy - You Piece of Shit - While We Small People Pay Our Taxes You Feel You Shouldn't - I Want Him In Jail
Harlem Rep. Charles Rangel admitted he made "mistakes," then claimed he was "smeared," and finally pleaded for "a drop of fairness and mercy" in a rambling statement Thursday.
"I have been smeared with allegations of corruption and personal gain," Rangel said.
Rangel released his statement just before he was to learn his punishment from the House panel that found him guilty two days ago of 11 ethics violations.
"I was and am disappointed that the Committee reached its decision without affording me the right to adequately defend myself with the aid of counsel," Rangel wrote.
The 80-year-old lawmaker neglected to mention that it was his decision to show up for his ethics trial without a lawyer - and then boycott the proceedings after the panel refused his request for a delay.

Head of Fox News Calls National Public Radio "Nazis"
Fox News President Roger Ailes slammed NPR executives as “Nazis” in a new interview, saying the publicly financed radio network espouses the "left wing of Nazism."
The comments — published as the second part of an interview with The Daily Beast's Howard Kurtz — were in reference to the firing of former NPR and current Fox News employee Juan Williams, whom Ailes called a "pure liberal."
“They are, of course, Nazis,” Ailes said of NPR. “They have a kind of Nazi attitude. They are the left wing of Nazism. These guys don’t want any other point of view.”
Williams was fired by NPR last month after saying on a Fox News program that he gets nervous when he sees airplane passengers wearing Muslim garb. The firing prompted an anguished debate in media circles about the role of television news analysts, and a firestorm among congressional Republicans over whether NPR should continue to receive public funding.

Terrorist Almost Walked In Obama's First Clown Civilian Trial in New York
By Carol J. Williams and Geraldine Baum, Los Angeles Times
November 18, 2010
U.S. civilian court acquits ex-Guantanamo detainee of all major terrorism charges
The verdict involving a suspect in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa may complicate efforts to try Sept. 11 defendants in nonmilitary U.S. courts. But Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani may still face life in prison without parole for his conviction on a lesser count.
Reporting from Los Angeles and New York —
A New York federal jury acquitted alleged Al Qaeda accomplice Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani on Wednesday of all major terrorism charges in the 1998 suicide bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa that killed 224 people, including 12 Americans.
In the first trial of a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner in civilian court, the Tanzanian was convicted of one count of conspiracy to damage or destroy U.S. property but cleared of 276 counts of murder and attempted murder. The government said it would seek the maximum sentence of life without parole on the conspiracy count.
The verdict could presage trouble for President Obama's plans to close the U.S. military prison in Cuba and bring its remaining detainees to the United States for trial. Officials who want military commissions to try the men argue that terrorism suspects would get too many rights and protections in civilian court.
"This tragic verdict demonstrates the absolute insanity of the Obama administration's decision to try Al Qaeda terrorists in civilian courts," Rep. Peter T. King (R-N.Y.) said, calling the Ghailani ruling "a total miscarriage of justice."

China Redirects U.S. Military Web Traffic Into Their Computers - This is Serious
Washington (CNN) -- Internet traffic from several U.S. government agency sites was briefly diverted through servers in China in April, congressional investigators reported Wednesday.
For 18 minutes, about 15 percent of all web traffic was redirected through China, including traffic to and from the sites of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, the office of the Secretary of Defense, the Senate and NASA, according to a report delivered to Congress by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission.
Investigators say the web traffic was diverted by China Telecom, a state-owned enterprise.
They do not know whether the diversion was intentional, whether the government of China played any role, or whether any sensitive data was compromised.
The report says that the irregular routing could have allowed the surveillance of users or sites, the disruption or diversion of communications and the compromising of supposedly secure encrypted sessions.
Pentagon spokeswoman Lt. Col. April Cunningham said the Defense Department "is concerned about any Internet traffic being intentionally rerouted outside of the usual operations." But, she said, "the security of Department of Defense information is not affected by misdirection of internet traffic." The Pentagon had no information to confirm whether the incident occurred, she said.
The Pentagon is in the process of establishing procedures "to address any potential current and future vulnerability," Cunningham told CNN.

The Bitch That's Extorting America's Private Sector
By Michelle Malkin • November 17, 2010 03:15 AM
My column today takes a closer look at the Obamacare Waiver-mania! phenomenon, which I spotlighted over the weekend. I’ve called dozens of companies and unions on the HHS waiver list. You won’t be surprised to learn that most refused to speak on the record or failed to call me back. Torquemada Sebelius sure knows how to keep them quiet. But, as you’ll see below, a few did respond to me and a few others have bravely spoken out about how the federal health care regulations would have shut down their affordable health care plans.
One company official expressed concern to me that media coverage was demonizing businesses who applied for the waivers. I certainly don’t see these waiver applicants as villains. They were potential victims of top-down government mandates and they did what they needed to do to survive. As for the unions who all pushed hard to ram Obamacare down America’s throat and then rushed to the front of the line for tax and regulatory exemptions, thanks for proving what an ill-fated scheme the federal health care takeover was from the get-go.

Congress - Raise Taxes and You're So Done
President Obama’s bipartisan deficit reduction commission ultimately will propose tax hikes, spending cuts or a combination of the two to reduce the country's historic high debt, but most Americans feel they - and not Congress - should have the final say on whether the commission's proposals become law.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 58% of Adults believe voters should be given the chance to vote on the commission's recommendations rather than Congress. Just 24% disagree and feel Congress should have the final vote instead. Eighteen percent (18%) are not sure who should make the final decision. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Among the proposals being considered by the commission is $751 billion in tax increases over 10 years, including a 15-cent increase in the gas tax that would be phased in starting in 2013. But only 25% of Americans are willing to pay higher taxes to reduce the deficit. Fifty-nine percent (59%) are not willing to pay more in taxes for that purpose, with another 15% undecided.

This is How We'll Get Obama, Giannoulias and His Crew From Chicago - Shore Bank - U.S.- F.B.I. Sets 50 Bank Criminal Probes
Borrowed from the Wall Street Jounrnal Thank You
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is conducting about 50 criminal investigations of former executives, directors and employees at U.S. banks that have failed since the start of the financial crisis.
The agency responsible for dealing with bank failures is stepping up its effort to punish alleged recklessness, fraud and other criminal behavior, as U.S. officials did in the wake of the savings-and-loan crisis a generation ago. More than 300 banks and savings institutions have failed since the start of 2008, but just a few have led to criminal charges being filed against bank officials.
In an interview, Fred W. Gibson, deputy inspector general at the FDIC, which works with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate crime at financial institutions, said the probes involve failed banks of all sizes in cities across the U.S. The FDIC is also ramping up civil claims to recover money from former bankers at busted lenders. He declined to identify any of the people or banks under investigation.

Finally Some Good News From the U.S. Senate Today
Borrowed from the Wall Street Journal
The Senate's No. 2 Republican said Tuesday that he opposed a vote this year on President Barack Obama's signature arms control treaty, dealing a blow to a top White House foreign policy priority and possibly to U.S.-Russian relations.
Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl of Arizona said there wasn't time to deal with his concerns over a treaty that would cut U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear weapons deployments by about one third and restore weapons inspections that were halted nearly a year ago. Treaty ratification requires 67 votes in the Senate. Mr. Kyl's decision likely pushes a vote to next year, when the Senate Democratic majority shrinks to 53 from 58.

"If you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested" America Has Had It!
Based on the vast majority of Americans, it’s now obvious that America is mad. They’re mad at being patted down in their private areas, told to take off all sorts of clothing, instructed not to board with items as harmless as bottles with water and the list seems to never end as Muslim terrorists become more sophisticated.
We are now into our ninth year of protecting the three hundred million plus people that live in America from the Muslim terrorists that will stop at nothing to destroy our lives and our lifestyle. For most of those years the people of America have gone along with these inconveniences, but not anymore. It’s evident that they have had it, and are about to make a profound statement that could change the mood of patience and tolerance towards the third largest religion in the world to, “Get your own kind under control or we’ll vanquish you all.”
Yes, America’s impatience has gotten to the point that it wouldn’t surprise me if the American people demanded that all scanning and security inspections on humans be stopped. The anger is so great that God help any Muslim that tries to take over a plane; he or she could be literally torn apart by passive passengers, with most of the tearing being done by the ones with the most frequent flier miles. If a plane does go down because of a bomb planted on a Muslim or whoever, most now would feel that it would be just another reminder that the third largest religion is nothing more than a breeding ground for their fighters who have only world domination in mind. This would be the reminder or again a wake-up call to America that they must be stopped, wherever they are. Americans have now educated themselves to the fact that Muslims have been doing this since the religion was conceived and that’s nearly thirteen hundred years.
America has done a fabulous job in protecting its people, but at what cost? Could the cost be that the general population has been forced to look the other way, while a bullet is headed straight at them? It seems so.
