We find it quite interesting that with everything else going on in September 2015, the 1st video below from Spiro gives us more to think about and question. Beginning on the 10th of September and going on through September 23rd, Linxx Global Solutions, Inc., a government services provider based out of Virginia Beach, Virginia, will be holding 'realistic scenario training' for the Department of Defense and is looking for private contractors....otherwise known as 'role-players'.
These 'role players', we learn through the Linxx Global facebook page seen in screenshot below, will be acting as terrorists, bad guys and hostages. Requirements include 'wearing assigned wardrobe and safety equipment while responding according based on the scenario' and 'operate various small arms with blank- and paint-marking cartridges' among other responsibilities. Much more below including several videos and a SQAlert from a Law Enforcement officer who shares what we consider to be a very important warning as well as another look at the East coast of the US suddenly receiving HUGE amounts of attention.

Saudi Arabia Has 100,000 Air Conditioned Tents That Can House 3 Million People Sitting Empty Yet Has Taken Zero Refugees

While Europe takes the burden of the migrant crisis

by Paul Joseph Watson | September 10, 2015


null
While European countries are being lectured about their failure to take in enough refugees, Saudi Arabia – which has taken in precisely zero migrants – has 100,000 air conditioned tents that can house over 3 million people sitting empty.
The sprawling network of high quality tents are located in the city of Mina, spreading across a 20 square km valley, and are only used for 5 days of the year by Hajj pilgrims. As the website Amusing Planet reports, “For the rest of the year, Mina remains pretty much deserted.”
The tents, which measure 8 meters by 8 meters, were permanently constructed by the Saudi government in the 1990’s and were upgraded in 1997 to be fire proof. They are divided into camps which include kitchen and bathroom facilities.
The tents could provide shelter for almost all of the 4 million Syrian refugees that have been displaced by the country’s civil war, which was partly exacerbated by Saudi Arabia’s role in funding and arming jihadist groups.
However, as the Washington Post reports, wealthy Gulf Arab nations like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and others have taken in precisely zero Syrian refugees. Although Saudi Arabia claims it has taken in 500,000 Syrians since 2011, rights groups point out that these people are not allowed to register as migrants. Many of them are also legal immigrants who moved there for work. In comparison, Lebanon has accepted 1.3 million refugees – more than a quarter of its population.
While it refuses to take in any more refugees, Saudi Arabia has offered to build 200 mosques for the 500,000 migrants a year expected to pour into Germany.
Saudis argue that the tents in Mina are needed to host the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, but given that the Arabic concept of Ummah is supposed to offer protection to all Muslims under one brotherhood, surely an alternative location could be found so that Mina can be repurposed to house desperate families fleeing war and ISIS persecution?
While Europe is being burdened by potentially millions of people who don’t share the same culture or religion as the host population, Gulf Arab states refuse to pull their weight, resolving only to throw money at the problem.
The likelihood of the Saudis inviting Syrian refugees to stay in Mina is virtually zero, but the thousands of empty tents serve as a physical representation of the hypocrisy shared by wealthy Gulf Arab states when it comes to helping with the crisis.

“Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death”: The Loss Of Our Freedoms In The Wake Of 9/11

“Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death”: The Loss Of Our Freedoms In The Wake Of 9/11
September 9, 2015 in News by RBN
The Rutherford Institute | John W. Whitehead 
“Since mankind’s dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away. We’ve seen where their way leads, through camps and wars, towards the slaughterhouse.” ― Alan Moore,V for Vendetta
What began with the passage of the USA Patriot Act in October 2001 has snowballed into the eradication of every vital safeguard against government overreach, corruption and abuse. Since then, we have been terrorized, traumatized, and acclimated to life in the American Surveillance State.
The bogeyman’s names and faces change over time, but the end result remains the same: our unquestioning acquiescence to anything the government wants to do in exchange for the phantom promise of safety and security has transitioned us to life in a society where government agents routinely practice violence on the citizens while, in conjunction with the Corporate State, spying on the most intimate details of our personal lives.
Ironically, the 14th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks occurs just days before the 228th anniversary of the ratification of our Constitution. Yet while there is much to mourn about the loss of our freedoms in the years since 9/11, there is virtually nothing to celebrate.
The Constitution has been steadily chipped away at, undermined, eroded, whittled down, and generally discarded to such an extent that what we are left with today is but a shadow of the robust document adopted more than two centuries ago. Most of the damage has been inflicted upon the Bill of Rights—the first ten amendments to the Constitution—which has historically served as the bulwark from government abuse.
Set against a backdrop of government surveillance, militarized police, SWAT team raids, asset forfeiture, eminent domain, overcriminalization, armed surveillance drones, whole body scanners, stop and frisk searches, roving VIPR raids and the like—all sanctioned by a corrupt government run by Congress, the White House and the courts—a recitation of the Bill of Rights now sounds more like a eulogy to freedoms lost than an affirmation of rights we should possess.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the Constitution has been on life support for some time now and all efforts at resuscitating it may soon prove futile.
We can pretend that the Constitution, which was written to hold the government accountable, is still our governing document. However, the reality we must come to terms with is that in the America we live in today, the government does whatever it wants, freedom be damned, and “we the people” are seen as little more than cattle to be branded and eventually led to the slaughterhouse.
Consider the state of our freedoms, and judge for yourself whether Osama Bin Laden was right when he warned that “freedom and human rights in America are doomed,” and that the “U.S. government will lead the American people in — and the West in general — into an unbearable hell and a choking life.”
Here is what it means to live under the Constitution today.
The First Amendment is supposed to protect the freedom to speak your mind, assemble and protest nonviolently without being bridled by the government. It also protects the freedom of the media, as well as the right to worship and pray without interference. In other words, Americans should not be silenced by the government. To the founders, all of America was a free speech zone.
Yet despite the clear protections found in the First Amendment, the freedoms described therein are under constant assault. Increasingly, Americans are being arrested and charged with bogus “contempt of cop” charges such as “disrupting the peace” or “resisting arrest” for daring to film police officers engaged in harassment or abusive practices. Journalists are being prosecuted for reporting on whistleblowers. States are passing legislation to muzzle reporting on cruel and abusive corporate practices. Religious ministries are being fined for attempting to feed and house the homeless. Protesters are being tear-gassed, beaten, arrested and forced into “free speech zones.” And under the guise of “government speech,” the courts have reasoned that the government can discriminate freely against any First Amendment activity that takes place within a government forum.
The Second Amendment was intended to guarantee “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” Yet while gun ownership has been recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court as an individual citizen right, Americans remain powerless to defend themselves against SWAT team raids and government agents armed to the teeth with military weapons better suited for the battlefield than for a country founded on freedom. Police shootings of unarmed citizens continue to outrage communities, while little is really being done to demilitarize law enforcement agencies. Indeed, just recently, North Dakota became the first state to legalize law enforcement use of drones armed with weapons such as tear gas, rubber bullets, beanbags, pepper spray and Tasers.
The Third Amendment reinforces the principle that civilian-elected officials are superior to the military by prohibiting the military from entering any citizen’s home without “the consent of the owner.” With the police increasingly training like the military, acting like the military, and posing as military forces—complete with military weapons, assault vehicles, etc.—it is clear that we now have what the founders feared most—a standing army on American soil. Moreover, as a result of SWAT team raids (more than 80,000 a year) where police invade homes, often without warrants, and injure and even kill unarmed citizens, the barrier between public and private property has been done away with, leaving us with armed government agents who act as if they own our property.
The Fourth Amendment prohibits the government from conducting surveillance on you or touching you or invading you, unless they have some evidence that you’re up to something criminal. In other words, the Fourth Amendment ensures privacy and bodily integrity. Unfortunately, the Fourth Amendment has suffered the greatest damage in recent years and been all but eviscerated by an unwarranted expansion of police powers that include strip searches and even anal and vaginal searches of citizens, surveillance and intrusions justified in the name of fighting terrorism, as well as the outsourcing of otherwise illegal activities to private contractors. Case in point: Texas police forced a 21-year-old woman to undergo a warrantless vaginal search by the side of the road after she allegedly “rolled” through a stop sign.
The use of civil asset forfeiture schemes to swell the coffers of police forces has also continued to grow in popularity among cash-strapped states. The federal government continues to strong-arm corporations into providing it with access to Americans’ private affairs, from emails and online transactions to banking and web surfing. Coming in the wake of massive leaks about the inner workings of the NSA and the massive secretive surveillance state, it was revealed that the government threatened to fine Yahoo $250,000 every day for failing to comply with the NSA’s mass data collection program known as PRISM. Meanwhile, AT&T has enjoyed a profitable and “extraordinary, decades-long” relationship with the NSA.
The technological future appears to pose even greater threats to what’s left of our Fourth Amendment rights, with advances in biometric identification and microchip implants on the horizon making it that much easier for the government to track not only our movements and cyber activities but our very cellular beings. Barclays has already begun using afinger-scanner as a form of two-step authentication to give select customers access to their accounts. Similarly, Motorola has been developing thin “digital tattoos” that will ensure that a phone’s owner is the only person who may unlock it. Not to be overlooked are the aerial spies—surveillance drones—about to take to the skies in coming years, as well as theDrive Smart programs that will spy on you (your speed, movements, passengers, etc.) while you travel the nation’s highways and byways.
The Fifth Amendment and the Sixth Amendment work in tandem. These amendments supposedly ensure that you are innocent until proven guilty, and government authorities cannot deprive you of your life, your liberty or your property without the right to an attorney and a fair trial before a civilian judge. However, in the new suspect society in which we live, where surveillance is the norm, these fundamental principles have been upended. Certainly, if the government can arbitrarily freeze, seize or lay claim to your property (money, land or possessions) under government asset forfeiture schemes, you have no true rights. That’s the crux of a case before the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the government’s use of asset forfeiture to strip American citizens of the funds needed to hire a defense attorney of their choosing.
The Seventh Amendment guarantees citizens the right to a jury trial. However, when the populace has no idea of what’s in the Constitution—civic education has virtually disappeared from most school curriculums—that inevitably translates to an ignorant jury incapable of distinguishing justice and the law from their own preconceived notions and fears. However, as a growing number of citizens are coming to realize, the power of the jury to nullify the government’s actions—and thereby help balance the scales of justice—is not to be underestimated. Jury nullification reminds the government that it’s “we the people” who can and should be determining what laws are just, what activities are criminal and who can be jailed for what crimes.
The Eighth Amendment is similar to the Sixth in that it is supposed to protect the rights of the accused and forbid the use of cruel and unusual punishment. However, the Supreme Court’s determination that what constitutes “cruel and unusual” should be dependent on the “evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society” leaves us with little protection in the face of a society lacking in morals altogether. For example, a California appeals court is being asked to consider “whether years of unpredictable delays from conviction to execution” constitute cruel and unusual punishment. For instance, although 900 individuals have been sentenced to death in California since 1978, only 13 have been executed. As CBS News reports, “More prisoners have died of natural causes on death row than have perished in the death chamber.”
The Ninth Amendment provides that other rights not enumerated in the Constitution are nonetheless retained by the people. Popular sovereignty—the belief that the power to govern flows upward from the people rather than downward from the rulers—is clearly evident in this amendment. However, it has since been turned on its head by a centralized federal government that sees itself as supreme and which continues to pass more and more laws that restrict our freedoms under the pretext that it has an “important government interest” in doing so. Thus, once the government began violating the non-enumerated rights granted in the Ninth Amendment, it was only a matter of time before it began to trample the enumerated rights of the people, as explicitly spelled out in the rest of the Bill of Rights.
As for the Tenth Amendment’s reminder that the people and the states retain every authority that is not otherwise mentioned in the Constitution, that assurance of a system of government in which power is divided among local, state and national entities has long since been rendered moot by the centralized Washington, DC, power elite—the president, Congress and the courts. Indeed, the federal governmental bureaucracy has grown so large that it has made local and state legislatures relatively irrelevant. Through its many agencies and regulations, the federal government has stripped states of the right to regulate countless issues that were originally governed at the local level.
If there is any sense to be made from this recitation of freedoms lost, it is simply this: our individual freedoms have been eviscerated so that the government’s powers could be expanded, while reducing us to a system of slavery disguised as a democracy.
The film V for Vendetta is a powerful commentary on how totalitarian governments such as our own exploit fear and use mass surveillance, censorship, terrorism, and militarized tactics to control, oppress and enslave.
As the lead character V observes:
Where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who’s to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you’re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn’t be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.
How will you have it? Will you simply comply while the train heads down the track to a modern-day Auschwitz? Or will you become a free person and resist? To quote Patrick Henry, “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! — I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

World War III Will Begin in Syria
Dave Hodges | The Common Sense Show
Sep 9, 2015
http://bit.ly/1Md9Skj
[snip]
Syria is critical to the Russians on a number of fronts including the prevalence of Syria’s warm water ports. Syria’s importance to Russia can be condensed to five essential factors:
1. Russia has a naval installation in Syria. The base is vitally important because it is Russia’s last foreign military base outside of the former Soviet Union. Putin is playing a bit of a slight of hand approach by stating they are closing the facility. However, the Russians are maintaining navy technicians and they service their permanent flotilla in the area. This runs in opposition to what the MSM has reported. However, my sources are uniform on this point
2. Russia is moving to further advance the use of the ports at Aleppo and Tartus to facilitate its sea trade.
3. Fortifying Syria provides protection for Iran who is undermining the Petrodollar by selling its oil for gold. This allows Putin to be engaged in an economic war against the dollar and the Federal Reserve.
4. Syria is a military satellite of Russia as Assad continues to buy a high quantity of Russian military exports, which aids the Russian economy.
And of course, no Russian military option can be considered when it comes to ISIS rampaging across Iraq and Syria. Make no mistake about it, ISIS is a CIA creation fueled by illegally leaving behind American military equipment in Iraq designed for ISIS use. ISIS mission is twofold. The first goal is to unseat Assad in Syria. But the primary goal is for the West to draw Putin into a military conflict starting in Syria in order to topple Syria and Iran and preserve the Petrodollar. In effect, ISIS is Blackwater (i.e. Academia). And the ISIS beheadings is a psyops designed to inflame the American public into accepting the coming World War III.
...
Where is Russia most vulnerable? The clear answer is in Syria. Syria has both economic and military significance to Russia. If Syria were to fall to the United States, the military and economic loss would be catastrophic, not the least, would be the loss of Syrian ports. Russia’s prudent course of action would be to continue to erode the US economy by its relentless attacks upon the Federal Reserve and the Petrodollar. However I do not foresee the Federal Reserve banksters are going to continue to let this happen as the dollar erodes. Subsequently, when Ukraine falls, Syria and probably Iran will be attacked by the United States. The provocation will likely be a false flag event within the United States in which the Syrians are falsely implicated. Why do you think Obama is bringing so many Syrians into the United States?

Christian Navy chaplain targeted by 'gays' exonerated

(God's Teachings CANNOT be Trusted as they do Not Support the Teachings of Satanism, as the Holy Bible does not have 'Middle of the Road' acceptance, as you are one of His followers or NOT?)

 

Christian Navy chaplain targeted by 'gays' exonerated

No grounds for dismissal of 'consummate professional' over Bible beliefs


 Chaplain Wes Modder
Chaplain Wes Modder

A decorated Navy chaplain threatened with a career-ending dismissal for voicing his Bible-based beliefs on homosexuality has been exonerated.
As WND reported in March, Lt. Cmdr. Wes Modder was detached from his unit late last year and isolated at the chapel of the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command base near Charleston, South Carolina.
In March, the Navy denied Modder’s request for a religious accommodation of his views.
The actions taken against Modder come from the commanding officer of the base, Capt. Jon Fahs Jr., after several sailors complained about the counseling they received from Modder on issues of sexual morality. Fahs accused Modder of “failing to show tolerance and respect” to the sailors who sought his advice. This came just weeks after Fahs gave Modder the highest possible rating for his job performance, calling him “a consummate professional” who was sought out for his “sage counsel.”
But late last week, the Navy rejected Fahs request to bring Modder before the Board of Inquiry in a letter stating evidence that Modder demonstrated “substandard performance” did not meet the “standard of gross negligence or complete disregard of duty.”
A Navy official speaking anonymously to the Military Times confirmed the official verdict.
“There is no documentation of poor performance in his personnel record,” he said. “There was no record of counseling. There was no letter of instruction given to Chaplain Modder by the command and non-judicial punishment was not conducted.”
“Outlasting the Gay Revolution” spells out eight principles to help Americans with conservative moral values counter attacks on our freedoms of religion, speech and conscience by homosexual activists
“I am relieved the Navy sided with me. I have served honorably for 20 years in diverse units in the Marine Corps and Navy. I am proud of my service but prouder of all those who serve on the front lines regardless of their faith and backgrounds,” Modder said in a statement.
“I am called by my faith to express love for all, regardless of the diversity of backgrounds from which they come, and I will continue to follow my faith in all things. I am grateful to be able to continue the ministry God called me to do.”
The original complaint against Modder alleged the following:
  • He told a student she was “shaming herself in the eyes of God” for having premarital sex.
  • He told another student homosexuality was wrong.
  • He told a student “the penis was meant for the vagina and not for the anus.”
  • He implied he had the ability to save people from being “gay.”
  • He asked a staff member about her sexual conduct and then told her that she should be in love with God and not her partner.
  • He chastised a pregnant student for becoming pregnant while not married.
The Liberty Institute, which represented Modder, responded to the charges saying are “simply untrue or are gross mischaracterizations of what actually occurred.”
Modder said he never initiated any conversation about marriage. On occasion, and only when asked, Modder said he did express his sincerely held religious belief that:
  • Sexual acts outside of marriage are contrary to biblical teaching.
  • Homosexual conduct is contrary to biblical teaching.
  • Homosexual orientation or temptation, as distinct from conduct, is NOT sin.

WND earlier reported that the complaints against Modder surfaced just a few weeks after his new assistant reported for duty. It was later disclosed that the assistant was in a homosexual “marriage” with another man.

Michael Berry with the Liberty Institute said the assistant’s attempt to derail the chaplain’s career over his beliefs could come back to haunt him.
“I believe some of what the lieutenant has alleged could constitute a military crime – false statements, taking what the chaplain said and twisting or misconstruing it in an attempt to get the chaplain punished.”
“It’s unfortunate that a good man like Chaplain Wes Modder has been subjected to public scorn and ridicule because of a young officer’s witch hunt,” added Liberty Counsel president Kelly Shackelford: “However, truth won the day and Chaplain Modder should be commended for his courage under fire and his long years of service to the United States Armed Forces.”
“This is not only a great day for Chaplain Modder, but for every American who supports religious freedom in our military,” Berry said in a statement. “Although Captain Fahs’ actions against Chaplain Modder violated the Constitution, federal law, and military regulations, we are grateful that Navy officials categorically rejected those actions. We commend Naval Personnel Command for carefully reviewing the facts and following the law. We believed this would be the outcome from day one.”

Almost Half Of New York Police Brutality Cases Being Proven With Video

Almost Half Of New York Police Brutality Cases Being Proven With Video

Filming police is protecting the rights of Americans

Almost Half Of New York Police Brutality Cases Being Proven With Video
by Steve Watson | InfoWars | September 9, 2015

The independent agency that deals with complaints against police in New York says that almost half of all the claims of police brutality it receives are now being proven by video evidence.
The Civilian Complaint Review Board, which investigates and recommends action on complaints against NYPD officers, released a semiannual report noting that 45 percent of cases where claims of excessive force were made were corroborated by video evidence within the first six months of the year.
That figure constitutes a rise of 11 percent on 2014 findings.
“Video is a fundamental revolution when it comes to the accountability of police officers,” CCRB Chairman Richard Emery told the New York Daily News.
“It’s demystifying the whole investigative process. No longer is the lion’s share of the cases ‘he said, she said’ where additional corroboration is almost always required and substantiation is quite difficult.” Emery added.
Video obtained from phone cameras and cctv amounts to substantiation of 21 percent of all the excessive force claims filed so far in 2015, according to the report. The figure is the highest the CCRB has ever recorded, dating back to 1993.
It highlights how vital cell phones in the pockets of vigilant citizens are to upholding the rights of Americans.
While the number of cases of police brutality may be on the rise, the likelihood of them being captured on video is also increasing.
Video footage is so abundant that the CRRB has created a team that specializes in seeking out footage of all reported incidents. Indeed, it is estimated that 182.6 million Americans will own a smartphone in 2015, an increase from 163.9 million in 2014.
There is a huge downside to the CRRB’s hoovering up of video footage, however. According to police watchdog CopWatch Patrol Unit, the agency is also using the video footage in order to justify giving cops more lenient punishments in cases of excessive force.
If there is any evidence of a person back chatting to a cop, or not complying, before the excessive force is used, then officers tend to be treated less harshly, claims CPU spokesperson Jose LaSalle.
“Out of everything that is on the video, the only thing that should matter is what the complaint is about, be it force, discourtesy, whatever,” LaSalle said.
The CRRB responded with a tacit admission that this is indeed the case.
“There has never been a balancing of the behavior on the video that excuses misconduct,” the CCRB chairman explained. “But if the discourtesy is provoked, that may affect the penalty phase.”
These statistics still show, however, that holding police accountable by being able to film them is hugely aiding the protection of fundamental rights in America. Perhaps that is why several states are moving to ban filming police, and the instances of officers claiming this is already a law seem to be on the rise.

Push to stop NSA spying moves forward

Push to stop NSA spying moves forward

'Unconstitutional surveillance has damaged fundamental freedoms'


Headquarters of the National Security Agency
Headquarters of the National Security Agency

A lawyer who sued the National Security Agency over its spy-on-Americans program that looks at millions of telephone calls – or more – has responded to a judge’s request for quick action on the dispute with an amended complaint.
Filed by attorney Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch, the complaint addresses concerns that had been raised by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
Klayman originally had sued the NSA, Barack Obama, then-Attorney General Eric Holder and a long list of other federal officials after the spy program was revealed by whistleblower Edward Snowden, who spilled the beans on much of the government’s Big Brother tactics, then fled to Russia.
Plaintiffs in the case include Klayman, Charles and Mary Ann Strange, Michael Ferrari, Matt Garrison and J.J. Little and other defendants include NSA chief Keith Alexander, U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court Judge Roger Vinson, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, CIA chief John Brennan, FBI chief James Comey, the Department of Justice, CIA and FBI.
Klayman’s case in late 2013 went before U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, who ruled the situation “almost Orwellian” and said the spying likely was unconstitutional.
He stayed his finding, however, to allow the government to appeal, and it took the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals not quite two years to rule. They reversed Leon’s finding and sent it back to his court for discovery.
Then just days ago, when Leon held a hearing on that issue, he warned he would not allow the government’s spying on millions of Americans through their cell phones to continue unfettered, and expressed a desire to move quickly on the case.
He pointed out for Klayman the deficiencies cited by the appeals judges.
“Police State USA: How Orwell’s Nightmare Is Becoming Our Reality” chronicles how America has arrived at the point of being a de facto police state, and what led to an out-of-control government that increasingly ignores the Constitution. Order today!
Klayman’s new submission addresses those concerns, explaining of the NSA spy programs, “Such broad and intrusive collections and surveillance tactics, without regard to any showing of probable cause, much less a reasonable suspicion of communications with terrorists or the commission of another crime, directly violate the U.S. Constitution and also federal laws, including, but not limited to, the … breach of privacy, freedom of speech, freedom of association and the due process rights of American citizens.
“Plaintiffs are suing for damages, declaratory, equitable and injunctive relief to stop this illegal conduct and hold defendants, individually and collectively, responsible for their unconstitutional surveillance, which has violated the law and damaged the fundamental freedoms and rights of American citizens.”
At the time of the earlier hearing, in a blog at Politico, Josh Gerstein said that Leon repeatedly urged Klayman to take steps to allow the case to move forward quickly by asking a federal appeals court to formally relinquish control over the appeal.
The NSA program, which collects in bulk data on phone calls, is scheduled to shut down at the end of November because of a change made by Congress. Lawmakers ordered a transition to a new procedure in which telephone companies will collect the data and make it available to the government rather than having the government do the collecting.
“The clock is running and there isn’t much time between now and November 29,” Leon told Klayman, Gerstein reported. “This court believes there are millions and millions of Americans whose constitutional rights have been and are being violated, but the window … for action is very small. … It’s time to move.”
Klayman also told WND the judge instructed Justice Department attorneys to make sure they were available at a moment’s notice when he wants to move on the case.
Support attorney Larry Klayman as he mobilizes millions of freedom-loving Americans from all over the country to stop President Obama’s spying on U.S. citizens and to preserve our freedoms!
Leon pointedly noted the appeals court did not undermine his determination that the program likely is unconstitutional, instead ruling on the plaintiffs’ “standing.”
Snowden blew the whistle on the agency’s vacuum-cleaner approach to data collection, called “bulk telephony metadata.” That was earlier in 2013, and Snowden has been living in exile in Russia as a wanted man by the U.S. government ever since.
Two of America’s influential civil-rights groups, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, have sided with Klayman.
The data that the NSA collects, they explained in a brief, “reveals political affiliation, religious practices and peoples’ most intimate associations.”
“It reveals who calls a suicide prevention line and who calls their elected official; who calls the local tea-party office and who calls Planned Parenthood.”
The brief said “the relevant fact for whether an expectation of privacy exists is that the comprehensive telephone records the government collects – not just the records of a few calls over a few days but all of a person’s calls over many years – reveals highly personal information about the person and her life.”

Chaos in cabal controlled financial system creates opportunity for revolution......



Chaos in cabal controlled financial system creates opportunity for revolution......

YOU ALL NEED TO SEE THIS ONE....MAKE SURE TO READ THE LINK BELOW..... THIS IS A WOW.....
 
September 7, 2015
 

Chaos and conflict at the very top of the Western financial system has created a unique opportunity to permanently put an end to Khazarian mafia control of the West. Furthermore, a new group of leaders will be assuming power in the Pentagon and, if they are able to coordinate with the worldwide resistance movement, humanity can be freed from Babylonian debt slavery as early as this autumn.
The important thing to drill into the heads of military, police and intelligence officials worldwide is that the West has been taken over by a group of mass murdering gangsters who need to be arrested and removed from power ASAP.
To put it more bluntly, it must be explained to the military fence sitters that the Khazarian mob has been actively trying to kill them and their families with manufactured diseases, toxic chemicals, unhealthy food, multiple attempts to start World War 3 etc. meaning that fence sitting is no longer an option. Self-defense is mandatory.
The anniversary this Friday of the September 11, 2001 mass murder event in New York would be a good time to take action. All it will take is for all aware members of the military and police in the US and for all governments outside of the US to demand the immediate arrest of the perpetrators of this crime. Anybody, from Obama on down, who tries to stop the arrests must themselves be arrested.
Here you can read the rest of the story. I am about to stutter . . .

Homes for the homeless?
Besides being probably the fastest-built house in the world, Stoujesdijk’s open source emergency shelter is in every way designed for the tropical climate in Haiti. It comes with a large overhanging roof for extra shade, a high ceiling for good ventilation, a porch and a parabolic roof that can collect rainwater. In addition to that, water is running through a tube on its roof top so it can be heated up by both the sun and mirrors, which are fixed to the ends of the bent roof. “With this system inhabitants can receive steam, electricity and clean drinking water”, Stoujesdijk explains. In fact, this more-than-a-quick-fix housing can provide enough potable water for all of its tenants and can deliver ten times more electricity than the average Haitian family currently consumes.

U.N. to hand out marching orders on immigration

U.N. to hand out marching orders on immigration

Obama administration adopting international guidance

130402unitednationslogo

UNITED NATIONS – The Obama administration’s immigration policy should come into clearer focus when world leaders gather at the United Nations later this month for the General Assembly.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon will convene a special meeting on the refugee crisis, and the outcome will provide a roadmap for U.S. policy.
The Obama administration has been adopting U.N. guidance on immigration, such as the U.N.’s recommendation to “move away from the detention of all migrants… particularly unaccompanied minors, and families with children. Aim to eradicate the detention of children completely … Age verification is not a justification for detention.”
While the United Nations officially differentiates between war refugees and what it calls “economic migrants,” or those seeking jobs in the developed world, its response to the current crisis in Europe has blurred the distinction.
In the lexicon of the U.N., “migrants” is the favored term for people crossing borders. “Migrants,” rather than “refugees” or “immigrants” is how the corporate media describes those flooding into Europe from the Middle East and North Africa.
And according to the U.N. view, “migration” should be encouraged, not stopped.
“Migration is a long-standing part of the human condition and, in the globalized and conflict-ridden world in which we live, it is inevitable,” declares a June 15 report on the refugee crisis in Europe by François Crépeau, United Nations special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants. “Migration is here to stay.”
The report goes on to say “building fences … will not stop migrants from coming,” and recommends against even trying to stop them because “democratic borders are porous by nature.”
Instead of fences and walls, governments should construct “legal and safe mobility solutions” and “migration policies that facilitate mobility and celebrate diversity,” the U.N. report says. It declares flatly “sealing international borders is impossible,” and those who refuse to accept this are largely xenophobes and racists who don’t appreciate “difference and diversity.”
Peter Sutherland, the Secretary General’s special representative on international migration, shares that view. From his perch as chairman of Goldman Sachs International and special U.N. envoy, he has pushed for open borders on a global scale, long before the war in Syria and photos of drowned toddlers grabbed the world’s attention.
In 2012, Sutherland told the House of Lords the European Union must “do its best to undermine” the “homogeneity” of its member states. He believes culturally distinct nations cannot survive and “have to become more open states, in terms of the people who inhabit them,” the BBC reported.
Sutherland, who served as the first director-general of the World Trade Organization and has been called the father of globalization, says all “individuals should have a freedom of choice” about where to live and work, whether or not their home country is engulfed in war. This, he says, is a “crucial dynamic for economic growth.”
“Economic growth,” not humanitarian impulse, is the real driver of the immigration policy. Having an ever larger pool of labor available on a global scale for the corporate elites is Sutherland’s mission. Letting this man write immigration policy is like putting a pedophile in charge of a Girl Scout jamboree, critics say.
With populations in Western Europe and other developed nations aging, the U.N. says smart policymakers should be “taking a long-term view and banking on mobility over the next 25 years,” and “make promoting genuine mobility for … migrants the cornerstone of the Global Approach to Migration and Mobility.”
The U.N. report concludes by saying, “Committing to a generational shift in migration policy that recognizes that external mobility can mirror the benefits of internal mobility, will … allow the European Union to truly promote its founding values in its relations with the rest of the world, as envisaged in its Constitutional Treaty.”
The “founding values” made explicit in the EU’s Constitutional Treaty are the free movement of people, goods, services and capital.
As WND has reported, the free flow of people, goods and capital is also the goal of the TransPacific Partnership “trade” agreement being pushed by the Obama administration and GOP leadership.

Self-driving cars can be stopped with a laser pointer

Self-driving cars can be stopped with a laser pointer

Hackers able to launch attack against self-driving car by overwhelming sensors with images of fake vehicles

Self-driving cars can be stopped with a laser pointer
by John Zorabedian | Naked Security | September 9, 2015 

Self-driving cars may be the future of transportation – it’s possible that eventually they could be safer than vehicles with human drivers.
But autonomous vehicles are going to need more and better defenses against the threat of hackers and cyberattacks.
Uber has just hired a pair of renowned car hackers to help the alternative cab company develop security for self-driving cars.
It’s a good move by Uber because, as a security researcher using a simple laser pointer has proved, self-driving cars can be hijacked.

Special Report: The Confederate Statue They Won’t Take Down

Special Report: The Confederate Statue They Won’t Take Down

Albert Pike statue still stands at the northwest axis of 3rd and D in the nation's capitol

Special Report: The Confederate Statue They Won't Take Down
by Jon Bowne | Infowars.com | September 9, 2015

Recently, the University of Texas pulled the Jefferson Davis statue from its campus because of a growing irrational fear of American history.


On the northwest axis of 3rd and D in the nation’s capitol is the Albert Pike statue, dedicated to the leader of the southern jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite which Pike held for 32 years. He was also a confederate brigadier general.
He was also the chief judicial officer and Arkansas Grand Dragon of the newly formed Ku Klux Klan. This is the only statue in Washington DC commemorating a Confederate soldier. So if the confederate flag is being denounced, and Jefferson Davis and other confederate monuments are under consideration for removal, why does this statue still remain?
Simple, Pike is revered by the very occult groups in control of the puppet government installed in Washington D.C. His illuminati predictions of three world wars have been the game plan followed to a T by the global elite.
