Samuel L. Jackson: `I voted for Obama
because he's black'
1. NY Post
February 13, 2012
Samuel L. Jackson said he voted for
President Obama because of his
color: “I voted for Barack because he
was black. ’Cuz that’s why other folks
vote for other people — because they
look like them,” the actor says in an
outspoken interview in the March
issue of Ebony. Jackson sounds off on
his feelings for Obama to writer Kevin
Powell, saying: “That’s American
politics, pure and simple. [Obama’s]
message didn’t mean [bleep] to me. In
the end, he’s a politician. I just hoped he would do some of what he said he was gonna do. I
know politicians say [bleep]; they lie. ’Cuz they want to get elected.” Repeatedly using the N-
word, Jackson added that Obama’s philosophical presence had been universally appealing:
“When it comes down to it, they wouldn’t have elected a [bleep]. Because, what’s a [bleep]? A
[bleep] is scary. Obama ain’t scary at all. [Bleeps] don’t have beers at the White House. [Bleeps]
don’t let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call [him] a liar. A [bleep] would
have stopped the meeting right there and
said, ‘Who the [bleep] said that?’ I hope
Obama gets scary in the next four years, ’cuz
he ain’t gotta worry about getting re-
elected.” Defending his repeated use of the
taboo epithet, the “Pulp Fiction” Oscar
nominee added, “[It] became a part of my
vocabulary when I was born . . . Because it
was used on me in my house, often . . . I
know the word [bleep] as an admonishment,
an endearment, a criticism and an invective.
So I use it; I don’t run from it. I don’t have
an issue with it or who says it. I always put it
in the context of how it was used on me.”
Congress to Holder: Quit
1. American Free Press
February 13, 2012
Republican lawmakers on the House
Oversight and Government Reform
Committee called on Attorney General
Eric Holder to resign even as the
country’s top lawyer dodged questions
about his involvement in what many are
calling a criminal scheme by the U.S.
government to traffic weapons to
Mexican drug gangs.
During his testimony, Holder ranted
angrily about the alleged “unfairness” of
him having to answer questions about
why he used bogus documents to conceal
the fact that weapons sold in the government gunrunning operation were used to murder U.S.
Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
“Nobody’s been disciplined. Nobody’s been fired,” Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) told the
embattled Holder. “It might be time for you to resign.”
Holder opened his remarks by acknowledging that “Fast and Furious”—the U.S. governmental
operation to supply arms to Mexican narco- guerrillas, who are waging veritable war against the
governments of Mexico and the United States—was a mistake. However, he claimed it was
cooked up by people in his employ and was something he could not personally be held
accountable for.
Evidence presented to the committee
during five previous hearings shows
that Holder lied to Congress about Fast
and Furious, claiming it did not exist.
Since then, he has changed his tune and
also admitted that the Justice
Department laundered money for
Mexican drug gangs as well.
The Fast and Furious operation was the
brainchild of Patrick Cunningham, the
head of the Criminal Division of the
U.S. Attorney’s Office in Phoenix. It
was Cunningham whom Holder
referenced in comments he made
claiming that his subordinates deceived him
and other Department of Justice supervisors as
to the nature of the program.
Cunningham recently took the Fifth
Amendment and refused to testify before
Congress, claiming he was under criminal
investigation for his actions in setting up and
controlling the Fast and Furious program.
Holder himself has been threatened with a
criminal contempt of Congress citation for his
continuing refusal to release almost 10,000
documents relating to the program.
Recently, the family of U.S. Border Patrol
Agent Brian Terry, who was murdered by thugs
using guns provided to Mexican narco-
guerrillas by Holder, has filed a civil lawsuit seeking $25 million in damages from the Obama
administration
Terry was killed in late 2010 during a cross-border raid conducted by Mexican drug traffickers.
An investigation into the murder found that the guns used were provided to Mexican drug cartels
by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and that the operation was
conceived and carried out by the U.S. Attorney’s Office under the supervision of Holder.
New FBI ‘spot the saboteur’ guide: Cash,
Snorkel, US Constitution
-Elena Medvedeva, Vitaliy Matveev
1. RT
February 13, 2012
Fancy a quick scuba lesson before going
on a last-minute trip to Hawaii? Paying in
cash for a snorkel? Just shaved mustache
because it doesn’t go with a dive mask?
Big Brother will spot a terrorist: “See
something, say something” policy in
action.
-The 25 flyers issued by the FBI and the
Department of Justice give no mere Orwell
creeps. Every area seems to be bursting with
bombers: airports, beauty shops, construction sites, banks and internet cafes. Your tattoos master
meets a bunch of them every day. Terrorists have taken to your favorite shop with train models
across the street – remember how you pressed your nose against the glass after school? Now
press harder: see something, say something, do something for your country.
-’Constant vigilance!’ – from fiction to action
The FBI and Department of Justice have streamed the “terrorist profiles” to every federal, state
and local law enforcement agency across the country previous week. No one wants armed
dangerous freaks invading a shopping mall on a Sunday, but now think about this. Are you:
- constantly impatient with your hair color?
- nervous in public spaces?
- inclined to show off before your girlfriend, even when
taking your first ever dive?
- prone to staring around?
- obsessed with taking pictures?
- eager to keep your passwords to yourself in an internet
cafe?
If yes, then you have all the chances to fall on the wrong side
with the community and be referred to the police.
No encryption, no anonymity (forget about Skype, patriots), no
cash, no hanging around, no heritage disputes at construction
sites. Know your shopping list, show genuine interest, don’t
avoid talking to assistants, but don’t ask for exits and sales days – you are not looking for
crowds.
So the War on Terror is getting inward-bound and tens of millions of law abiding Americans will
get a flavor of it. Putting aside proper instructions to identify a potential terrorist (nervous,
sweating, unsure of own name and story, wearing too much clothing) and terrorist activity (using
abandoned houses to store unidentified goods, driving a car without number plates, leaving
packages in public areas) – where is the bottom line to assess “extreme” behavior?
The handouts stress to Americans that people who “make suspicious comments regarding anti-
US, radical theology, vague or cryptic warnings that suggest or appear to endorse the use of
violence in support of a cause” are, well, terrorists. So, bye Occupy Wall Street, you won’t be
flashing headlines any more soon. Not after several arrests on “assaulting police” charges.
Be careful to forget your Constitutional rights, too. Only those, who are looking for a thrashing
from homeland security, know them by heart. And never, ever speak ill of Washington’s policies:
“Fury at the West for reasons ranging from personal problems to global policies of the US” is an
attitude indicator of a “sleeper,” a person who “camouflages their involvement in terrorist
activity.”
By the way, you will never believe who fits the description of a sleeper as an adjoining puzzle
piece. War veterans! Consider those who have spent quite some time in “countries where
militant Islam rules,” are “missing
hand/fingers,” have “burns” and are
inclined to show undesired interest in all
security stuff – like “hey, which is the
police frequency over here?” So, welcome
home, Afghan troops.
Think wider – stay in limits
The leaflets conclude with two
disclaimers fitting quite neatly with each
other. First, “just because
someone’s…way of life is different, it does
not mean that he or she is suspicious.”
Then, “The activities outlined on this handout are by no means all-inclusive.”
So if you see a guy, meddling in the shop with a lobster, a witch’s hat he is using as a bag and a
newspaper he is holding upside down, and somehow you feel he is conspiring for a delayed
bombing out, tip him off to the police.
But if your dad has given you a hooked nose and dark curls and then one morning you trade for a
model plane with the “maximum range remote control” for your little bro… Just don’t get a nasty
shock if your neighbor reports you. It is not the FBI’s fault that Mr. Thompson is such a raging
xenophobe, who does not care what next door people look like.
With the new 25 lists of security commandments, Americans now have a handout for every trip
to the outer space. Still
the new instructions daze
even some ex-law
enforcers:
“I spent some years in law
enforcement, and some of
those devoted to counter-
terrorism. I can assure
you that most federal,
state and local law
enforcement personnel
abide by their oath to
‘support and defend the
Constitution’ and are
steadfastly accountable to
that oath. In other words,
they understand that broadly labeling as ‘terrorists’ those who support constitutional limits on
government is offensive to that oath,” reads the dedicated story in the Patriot Post.
Dropping the F-BOMB: A Disposable Spy
Computer Funded by DARPA
Peter Murray

Attach a camera to a drone, fly the drone
around the back of the house, locate the
bad guys. Robotic UAVs are being used
for surveillance by everyone from the
military to local law enforcement to
emergency personnel. But if you think
about it, drones are kind of big and really
noisy, not the ideal tool for spying on
someone. Their data gathering capabilities
are limited too and they’re really
expensive. What about a computer, small
and durable enough for you to toss over a fence or inconspicuously attach to a car? Equipped
with Wi-Fi cracking software or GPS, it could infiltrate someone’s computer or track someone’s
location without them knowing.
Allow me to drop the F-BOMB. The Falling or Ballistically-launched Object that Makes
Backdoors, that is. Invented by Brandon O’Connor as an alternative to high-tech and costly spy
devices, the F-BOMB is made so cheaply with off-the-shelf parts that you’ll feel perfectly okay
with losing one or two. Very convenient when it’s sitting in the backyard of a drug lord hideout.
Before building the F-BOMB, O’Connor challenged himself with several constraints. He wanted
multiple wireless radios, USB capability for expansion (add GPS for example), battery life that
lasted hours to days, a size small enough that it won’t be found by the “bad guys with guns,” as
he calls them, and do all this without spending thousands or even hundreds of dollars.
The key addition was the PogoPlug.
The PogoPlug is a NAS (Network
Attached Storage) box, a data
storage device through which people
can share information over the
Internet. It runs on Linux which
makes it pretty user-friendly,
according to O’Connor. Normally
the boxes cost about $150, which
would have made the F-BOMB too
expensive for O’Connor’s purposes,
but the company is having a hard
time selling the devices. PogoPlug’s
misfortune becomes O’Connor’s advantage
as he can now purchase them for just $25
on Amazon.com. And that’s the most
expensive bit of hardware. Add the
antennae, eight gigabytes worth of flash
memory and a plastic casting that’s 3D-
printed and you’ve got a little spying
computer you can build for under $49.
Four D batteries will provide power for 30-
plus hours.
Aside from being cheap and reproducible,
building a monitoring device with
commercial off-the-shelf, or COTS,
components from Amazon or craigslist
means when the bad guys find it in their
backyard they won’t be able to trace it to you. Were the F-BOMB to require any kind of made-to-
order, a determined person could find the manufacture, start asking questions.
O’Connor talked about the F-BOMB (“because one time I worked for DARPA and they love
terrible acronyms”) at ShmooCon 2012. As you’ll see in the video, he’s nothing if not
enthusiastic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm_cHb8Mm9w
The F-BOMB won an award from DARPA’s
1. Cyber Fast Track program. The title of the project is “Reticle: Leaderless Command and
Control,” which kind of makes me wonder what else he’s developing. As Forbes reports,
O’Connor was tight-lipped about what DARPA might do with the technology.
But we can venture a few guesses. The platform can be attached to a quadcopter and dropped
onto a roof. It can be hidden inside a carbon monoxide casing, or any other imaginative cover
container such as a box of stale Triscuits that you’re pretty sure no one’s going to touch. As I
mentioned before, Wifi-cracking software will allow you to eavesdrop on a person’s computer,
and you can track someone with a GPS module. And if you’re more in the business of science
than spying, you can add temperature or humidity sensors to collect data for meteorological
research.
O’Connor has a security and software consultancy called Malice Afterthought. He learned about
such things teaching at cybersecurity schools for the military as well as working in the security
devisions of VeriSign and Sun Microsystems. The website describes him as “dreamer and mad
scientist capable of making even the most challenging tasks into reality.” Being that he kind of
runs the consultancy himself, he probably wrote the description himself, which is kind of weird.
Anyway, he certainly has created a little security monster in the F-BOMB. Effin’ cool.
The Rothschilds Want Iran’s Banks
Pete Papaherakles
1. American Free Press
February 13, 2012
Could gaining control of the Central Bank
of the Islamic Republic of Iran (CBI) be
one of the main reasons that Iran is being
targeted by Western and Israeli powers?
As tensions are building up for an
unthinkable war with Iran, it is worth
exploring Iran’s banking system compared
to its U.S., British and Israeli counterparts.
Some researchers are pointing out that
Iran is one of only three countries left in
the world whose central bank is not under
Rothschild control. Before 9-11 there were
reportedly seven: Afghanistan, Iraq,
Sudan, Libya, Cuba, North Korea, and
Iran. By 2003, however, Afghanistan and Iraq were swallowed up by the Rothschild octopus,
and by 2011 Sudan and Libya were also gone. In Libya, a Rothschild bank was established in
Benghazi while the country was still at war.
Islam forbids the charging of usury, the practice of charging excessive, unreasonably high, and
often illegal interestrates on loans,and that is a major problem for the Rothschild banking system.
Until a few hundred years ago usury was also forbidden in the Christian world and was even
punishable by death. It was considered exploitation and enslavement.
Since the Rothschilds took over the Bank of
England around 1815, they have been
expanding their banking control over all the
countries of the world. Their method has
been to get a country’s corrupt politicians to
accept massive loans, which they can never
repay, and thus go into debt to the
Rothschild banking powers. If a leader
refuses to accept the loan, he is oftentimes
either ousted or assassinated. And if that
fails, invasions can follow, and a Rothschild
usury-based bank is established.
The Rothschilds exert powerful influence
over the world’s major news
agencies. By repetition, the
masses are duped into believing
horror stories about evil villains.
The Rothschilds control the Bank
of England, the Federal Reserve,
the European Central Bank, the
IMF, the World Bank and the
Bank of International
Settlements. Also they own most
of the gold in the world as well as
the London Gold Exchange,
which sets the price of gold every
day. It is said the family owns
over half the wealth of the
planet—estimated by Credit
Suisse to be $231 trillion—and is
controlled by Evelyn Rothschild, the current head of the family.
Objective researchers contend that Iran is not being demonized because they are a nuclear threat,
just as the Taliban, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Libya’s Muammar Qadaffi were not a threat.
What then is the real reason? Is it the trillions to be made in oil profits, or the trillions in war
profits? Is it to bankrupt the U.S. economy, or is it to start World War III? Is it to destroy Israel’s
enemies, or to destroy the Iranian central bank so that no one is left to defy Rothschild’s money
racket?
It might be any one of those reasons or, worse—it might be all of them.
