Winston, we were never at war with Eurasia!

From Land Destroyer Blog


US-UK listed terror organization Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) fighters and commanders are clearly amongst militants underwritten by latest UK funding. 
by Tony Cartalucci 

August 10, 2012 - In direct violation of both American and British anti-terrorism legislation, particularly provisions regarding providing material support for listed or proscribed terrorist organizations, the United Kingdom has just announced that it will provide armed militants that include listed terror organizations with a £5 million tranche of what it calls "non-lethal practical assistance."

Bill To Create Massive Surveillance Database Of Internet Users Approved

From Prison Planet.


...“The bill is mislabeled,” said Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the senior Democrat on the panel. “This is not protecting children from Internet pornography. It’s creating a database for everybody in this country for a lot of other purposes.”
It represents “a data bank of every digital act by every American” that would “let us find out where every single American visited Web sites,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, who led Democratic opposition to the bill. The Californian Representative described the legislation as a “mess of a bill” and a “stalking horse for a massive expansion of federal power”.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., noted that the bill would open a Pandora’s box of government abuse.
“This is not about child porn. It never has been and never will be,” Issa said. “This is a convenient way for law enforcement to get what they couldn’t get in the PATRIOT Act.”...

Cybersecurity Bills Drafted By Same Group Responsible for 9/11 Truth Hit Piece; Russia Today Covers Internet Control Coup

Attempts to seize control over the internet and track the indentity of internet users are being escalated in new cybersecurity legislation being considered in Washington.

In an AFP article, representative David Wu from Oregon fantatsizes about the Wild West of the internet.

"We cannot stand by and let the most powerful tool for connecting Americans with each other and the world remain the Wild West of technology."

Wild West? What is he talking about?

"Cybercrime is a major problem for the government, for businesses, and indeed for every American," Lipinski, a Democrat, said in a statement.

Is it really? I don't think I have ever personally experienced 'cyber crime.' Perhaps it is a threat for key infrastructure computer networks and much of the bills going through congress seem to address that, however there is fear that these bills usher in a new age of government control of the internet.

There is a House Bill which has just passed in the House, Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2009(HR 4061), which would raise nearly $400 million for cybersecurity research and development programs, scholarships, and training programs in colleges and universities as well as setting up some kind of internationally accepted cybersecurity standards and public awareness campaigns.

However in another bill in the Senate (S. 773), in Section 18, it states the President "may declare a cybersecurity emergency and order the limitation or shutdown of Internet traffic to and from any compromised Federal Government or United States critical infrastructure information system or network." Under Section 14, Public-Private Clearinghouse, the Secretary of Commerce "shall have access to all relevant data concerning such networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule, or policy restricting such access." The networks they are referring to are "State, local, and nongovernmental information systems and networks in the United States designated by the President as critical infrastructure information systems and networks."
However the concern rests on the fear that this might be defined loosely to include almost any network or internet site.

From an article from the Electronic Frontier Foundation we find that our private information may be once again spied on in new ways as well as tracked in the future through 'identity management.':

"the bill contains a particularly dangerous provision that could cripple privacy and security in one fell swoop...The broad scope of this provision could eviscerate statutory protections for private information, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Privacy Protection Act, or financial privacy regulations...A privacy threat still in the cocoon is the provision mandating a study of the feasibility of an identity management and authentication program with just a nod to “appropriate civil liberties and privacy protections.” There’s reason to fear that this type of study is just a precursor to proposals to limit online anonymity."

Interestingly in one article I came upon the information that "Snowe (R-Maine) noted that the bill "loosely parallels" a set of cybersecurity recommendations contained in a report released late last year by a commission set up by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies."

The Center for Strategic and International Studies? That rang a bell. And I remember from where. Recently Arnaud de Borchgrave wrote an article attempting to equate the Fort Hood shooter with 9/11 truthers, or the movement of people who want a new investigation into 9/11. This very same Arnaud de Borchgrave is the Director for Transnational Threats at the Center For Strategic and International Studies. So someone who easily connects the 9/11 truth movement with real terrorism is a director at the center responsible for helping to create the new cybersecurity legislation. Wow that can't be good.

It must also be noted that Arnaud de Borchgrave also wrote a book on Cybersecurity, namely 'Cyber Threats and Information Security.' Here on Amazon.

It must be however also noted that the actual commission which I believe Senator Olympia J. Snowe (R- Maine) was referring to does not include the name of Arnaud de Borchgrave on its list of members. Still it's interesting to see the general crowd from which the legislation is coming and it's probably a good idea to keep a close eye on how some of these think tanks have their influence on actual legislation.

Ironically you must watch Russia Today to find out about anti-corporate/pro liberty opinions on the new moves of the corporate state monster. Is that an outlet which might need to be 'shut down' in an emergency? Ah, welcome to the United States of Guatemala.

With Incredible Gall FBI Admits Osama Bin Laden Photo Made to Look Like War Critic Spanish MP

The FBI brazenly modeled their new Osama Bin Laden photo on Gaspar Llamazares, a member of Spain's Communist party and a critic of the US "war on terror" admitted FBI spokesman Ken Hoffman.

First just appreciate how significant that actually is. The FBI used a photo of a politician from the Spanish parliament critical of their 'war on terror' to create a mock up image of Osama Bin Laden. Does that sound like the actions of a credible organization?

Obviously if you have a crystal ball and a population trained to seek war against whatever image you put in that crystal ball, then why not? Why not put the image of someone from the political opposition in there as an insulting jab, or perhaps to even subconsciously blur the lines between politcal opposition and terrorists?

Soon we will have many images of villians to be despised as, just like in the fictional movie Running Man, an enormous TV screen will be built in Times Square to show the dumb downed masses an image of their supposed enemies.

In Orwell's famous novel 1984, the population is persuaded to hate whichever group (first Eastasia, then Eurasia) the ruling elite wish to wage war on (the war is also perpetual, keeping the population controlled in a constant state of fear) and additionally the image of Emmanuel Goldstein, defender of individual liberty, is used as the symbol to which "Two Minutes Hate" is directed as his image is displayed every day on the "Telescreens."

The FBI have introduced one scheme yet better. Change the face of the villain, thus enabling the villain's face to suit the needs or fancies of those who control it.

For those new to the truth, you might also wish to look at an analysis of reports here of Osama Bin Laden meeting with the CIA prior to 9/11 and also here to the testimony of an FBI whistleblower that branches of our government had an "intimate" relationship with Al Qaida right up until 9/11.

If you prefer satire, here is a clip showing what Bin Laden's Hollywood production team might resemble...
