WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A proposal from a long-time congressional foe of the Federal Reserve that could give lawmakers sway over monetary policy has won the support of a majority in the House of Representatives, alarming officials at the U.S. central bank.
The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009, put forward by Republican Representative Ron Paul of Texas, now has 250 co-sponsors in the House. It will get air-time on Thursday during a congressional hearing on… Continue

I think I’ve become quite good a waking people up to the truth of 9/11 and other assorted atrocities.
I'm in marketing (yes, I know Bill Hicks said I should kill myself) but, I’ve found that it’s possible to use my powers for good. It’s best to use subtly and to never raise your voice when speaking with the uninitiated. People like to feel like they are making up their own mind. Most people hate to be mentally pushed in one way or another. Therefore, the best tactic is to start… Continue

Shock: It seems the FBI cares more about protecting its illegal surveillance methods than following leads to stop terrorism.
The recent shooting at the Holocaust Museum serves as a stark reminder to us all that murderous racial and religious hatred still endures in America. One would expect the FBI to infiltrate and prosecute individuals and organizations that… Continue

By Noah Shachtman | May 13, 2008
The Air Force wants a suite of hacker tools, to give it "access" to — and "full control" of — any kind of computer there is. And once the info warriors are in, the Air Force wants them to keep tabs on their "adversaries’ information infrastructure completely undetected."
The government is growing increasingly interested…
WASHINGTON, Jul 2 (IPS) - The Barack Obama administration has given new prominence to a Bush administration charge that Iran is providing military training and assistance to the Taliban in Afghanistan, for which no evidence has ever been produced, and which has been discredited by data obtained by IPS from the Pentagon itself.
The new twist in the charge is that it is being… Continue

Detectives will be required to consider accessing telephone and internet records during every investigation under new plans to increase police use of communications data.
The policy is likely to significantly increase the number of requests for data received by ISPs and telephone operators.
Just as every investigation currently has to include a strategy to make use of its subjects' financial records, soon CID officers will be trained to always draw up a plan to probe their… Continue
Cant wait until they justify these laws for when keeping us in prison. If this happens, it sets the precedent for local government. They have already been using the Patriot Act, which was supposed not to be for US citizens, on us. Thought crimes. They cant prove which one of these men will go back to fighting, so I bet they will just keep them all. Which way does America's moral compass point? I'm glad I didn't vote for him. Of course if the votes are rigged, it didn't matter if I had. Remember… Continue
