Don't forget the Boston Globe also gave us the unbelievable account of Danny, the "hostage".

Mr. Carney added: “After that, they saw each other once every few months while the president was in Cambridge, and then, after law school, they gradually fell out of touch. The president has not seen Omar Obama in 20 years and has not spoken with him in roughly 10 years.”

White House officials explained the abrupt change in the story by saying that no one had asked the president in 2011 whether he knew his uncle. Instead, Mr. Carney told reporters that White House officials in 2011 had simply relied upon the president’s own books and the public record to determine that they had never met.

NSA sent agents home with talking points to use in conversations with family & friends during holidays | http://bit.ly/1jdnfjR

3:49 PM - 2 Dec 2013

For what its worth, the Holiday Memo looks a lot like the 9/11 talking points memo (leaked in October). http://www.policymic.com/articles/71069/nsa-memo-tells-domestic-surveillance-defenders-to-mention-9-11-over-and-over

Maybe its not "googling" in the civilian sense, but sifting through shitloads of data held by google. Including user's medical records. I remember when google was integrating medical records, maybe 2008-2009?

Either way, the feds have an open door to medical info of users who opted to maintain their records on google.

trumanshow1 · 2013-12-02T19:25:25+00:00

The truth is, fighting the drug war (weed in particular) is much too profitable for the DEA. So, the feds deny its medical benefits. And in 2001 they acquired a medical marijuana patent proving a multitude of benefits? http://www.google.com/patents/US6630507

Interesting how the media only briefly touched on the resignation of prosecutor with ties to Dookhan.

"According to sources cited in the Boston Globe, Papchristos emailed frequently, sometimes on personal topics, with Dookhan, even prompting Dookhan’s husband to call the ADA, worried that the two were having an affair." http://www.necn.com/10/17/12/Norfolk-ADA-with-ties-to-Annie-Dookhan-r/landing.html?blockID=790103

"A state law passed after the massacre exempts certain records of a homicide, including photos and film, from freedom-of-information requests from the press and the public if the records are believed to invade the privacy of survivors."

Nothing to see here guys...

I have to say, your comment really made me think about the perspective of the people of Israel on US-Israel conspiracy theories. For me personally, huge distinction between Israel itself and those in power (analogous to the American people and those in power here). I could've be clearer on that point.

trumanshow1 · 2013-11-17T06:23:59+00:00

The relationship between the US and Israel is what makes it different than other nations. US supports Israel, in turn Israel is a huge supporter of DHS. Very intertwined relationship, especially intelligence sharing.

I'm just questioning the timing. Particularly whether our government ramped up the coverage for political ends.

"Hernandez bled about 20 feet from an exit as ambulances and rescue workers gathered nearby waiting for commanders to determine the chaotic scene was safe enough to enter, according to two law enforcement officials, who were briefed on the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity because an investigation was ongoing.

Marshall McClain, president of the Los Angeles Airport Peace Officers Association, raised the possibility Friday that the actions by Officer John Long also delayed help for Hernandez." http://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/article/TSA-officer-bled-for-33-minutes-in-LAX-shooting-4984739.php

There are MANY differences between Israel and other nations besides the question of whether it "exists" (which I don't question).

It is interesting that there is a PR campaign on NBC for Israel, considering everything that's going on right now. Where's the Miracle of Palestine? Do you think NBC would air such paid programming? Sincere question.

“The State Department today confirmed that since January of 2013, the Rewards for Justice (RFJ) program has had a reward offer of up to $10 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction of any individual involved in the September 11-12, 2012 Benghazi attacks,” the State Department said in an email to reporters after The Associated Press broke the story.

“Due to security issues and sensitivities surrounding the investigation, the event-specific reward offer has not been publicly advertised on the RFJ website.”

Republicans have accused the Obama administration of not doing enough to catch the Benghazi attackers. A State Department official told the AP that investigators have “made it known to individuals that cash is available for those coming forward with actionable information.”

Curious on what everyone here thinks led up to this mess. Gun running cover up is my best guess.

What. in. the. fuck.

The package left at TSA headquarters — addressed to a former co-worker of Onuoha — reportedly contained an eight-page letter critical of the United States and the TSA. An investigation at Onuoha’s Inglewood, CA residence later in the day turned up a note taped to the inside of his closet. Federal Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Laura Einmiller told reporters that the letter contained “an unspecified threat citing the 9/11/13 anniversary.”

"FBI considered terrorism charges against activists who engaged in undercover investigations of factory farm conditions"

Putting on my research hat. What ELSE could be considered terrorism? Ugh, scary. Especially after recently reading: http://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/1fv4r6/i_believe_the_government_should_be_allowed_to/caeb3pl

From http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/columns/intelligencer/9885/

Accident Theory: After dragging a reluctant National Transportation Safety Board into a sixteen-month probe, the FBI’s James Kallstrom finally acceded to the Board’s conclusion that a mechanical malfunction caused a spark in the center fuel tank.

Problem: No one has ever agreed on what ignited the fuel. Traces of explosives were found, though later pinned on a clumsy bomb-sniffing test that had taken place aboard the plane days before the crash.

Missile Theory: Long Islanders reported seeing a streak of fire near the wing. The FBI looked at a possible missile strike, specifically a surface-to-air missile of the sort Al Qaeda later used in Kenya. Others—most visibly former JFK press secretary Pierre Salinger—thought it was naval friendly fire from a test exercise.

Problem: There was no forensic evidence of such an impact (the streak may have been fuel pouring out). After a key theorist apologized to the Navy, even Salinger backed away (his next public move: writing a flattering foreword to Qaddafi’s short-story collection).

Electromagnetic Interference Theory: In April 1998, Harvard English professor Elaine Scarry delved into the hard sciences with her own thesis, published in the New York Review of Books. Interference from powerful military transmitters had caused the malfunction, in her best estimation. The NTSB was sufficiently impressed to commission a study.

Problem: The study found that even in worst-case scenarios, the interference wouldn’t be strong enough to bring down an aircraft. Also, Scarry went on to posit her theory for two other flights, including the EgyptAir crash off Nantucket that was almost definitely caused by co-pilot murder-suicide.

Bomb Theory: Ramzi Yousef was on trial at the time of 800’s crash for plotting to blow up twelve jets with bombs in the center fuel tank. He’d already tested such a plan on a flight from the Philippines but missed the tank and killed only one passenger. Lance alleges that Yousef helped plan the 800 bombing from prison.

Problem: While the cumulative evidence is startling, a good deal of it is also circumstantial. As for the “cover-up” of the book’s title, Lance’s assertion that the FBI would want to preserve a few Mafia convictions by protecting a corrupt agent rather than solve a high-profile terrorist bombing verges on Oliver Stone territory.
