How To Relieve Your Liberal Friends Of Their Russia Fears

There are many parallels to be drawn between the McCarthyist witch hunt of the 1950s and the Russia hysteria we see before us today (the fear, the xenophobia, the complete absence of evidence, the paranoia, the ruined careers, the irrational rhetoric and insane societal pressures are all strikingly similar), but there are important differences as well. For one, the fear that Senator Joseph McCarthy capitalized on to win reelection and recognition was based on reality; the Soviets had just tested an atomic bomb after receiving US nuclear secrets from American insiders, and accusations of treason were already being leveled against government officials like Alger Hiss.

The second important difference was that McCarthy’s movement had a face and a name driving it, and all that was required to bring him down was to get him on television for the Army-McCarthy hearings and let the American people see for themselves what a reprehensible character he was. The new McCarthyism is being driven by unelected officials in the deep state, and the fear that fuels it is almost entirely artificially constructed. Invisible hands are playing on an old irrelevant fear using lies to create a toxic atmosphere. ...

As an experiment, ask one of your liberal friends “What’s the worst that could happen?” and letting them go there; letting them unload their irrational fears in words will be very illuminating. Out in the light, those fears have a familiar pattern for those listening closely. Some people can’t even let themselves answer, because babbling about being taken over by Russia would be a big tell to even their own ears that they’re operating on old programming. When looked at in the light, their fears sound just like the anti-muslim “Sharia law” scaremongering from our compatriots on the right. Same fear of cultural annihilation, but by a different name, different scapegoat. The left loves to think we’re above that sort of xenophobic hysteria, but we’re not, we just hide it from ourselves in a different enemy.

Like a good mom, we have to throw the switch on the lights and show our liberal buds that they’re just having a nightmare of the past and what they think is a monster in a Russian great coat is just the pile of mess we’ve been nagging at them to clean up for weeks.

Senators seek Rod Rosenstein pledge to name a special prosecutor on Russia ties

Will Trump’s nominee for deputy attorney general pledge to appoint an independent special prosecutor to investigate “the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia”?

That’s the question Democrats will be asking Rod Rosenstein during his confirmation hearing on Tuesday morning. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Senate minority leader, said on Monday that this is “far and away the most important question” that Rosenstein will need to answer.

Richard Blumenthal, one of the Democrats on the Senate judiciary committee, pledged again on Monday to use “every tool, every power available” to slow Rosenstein’s confirmation if he would not promise to appoint a special prosecutor. ...

The Republican chair of the Senate judiciary committee resisted these demands. “Nobody should be prejudging as to if there should or shouldn’t be a special prosecutor,” Beth Levine, a spokeswoman for Senator Chuck Grassley, said in a statement. “Mr Rosenstein should go into the job without any predeterminations and evaluate the necessity on the facts and the merits.”

Are Trump-Russia Ties a Dangerous Security Issue or Critics’ Fodder for New Red Scare?

Official Washington Tips into Madness

The intensifying hysteria over Russia has pushed Official Washington over the edge into outright madness. On one side of this asylum, you have the Democrats, neoconservatives and mainstream media, while on the other, you have the embattled Trump administration. Both sides have been making grave allegations with little or no evidence to support them. ...

Even one of the top advocates feeding this Russia frenzy, New York Times correspondent Thomas L. Friedman, acknowledged on Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “I agree, there is no evidence,” but then added: “which is why we need a special prosecutor or an independent commission to get to the bottom of it.”

But that is not how investigations are supposed to work. You’re supposed to have evidence of wrongdoing and then examine it in the investigative phase to see if the evidence withstands scrutiny. What Friedman is suggesting is more like a “fishing expedition” or a “witch hunt.” ...

By contrast, in all the major investigations that I have handled as an investigative reporter, such as Oliver North’s secret White House paramilitary operation; the related Nicaraguan Contra drug trafficking scandal; Richard Nixon interference with President Lyndon Johnson’s Vietnam peace talks in 1968; and Ronald Reagan’s campaign sabotage of President Jimmy Carter’s Iranian-hostage negotiations in 1980 – there was substantial evidence from eyewitnesses and documents supporting the suspicions before the story was published.

At no point would I have argued that just because Oliver North met a Contra leader that it was time to investigate whether he and his Reagan administration superiors were breaking the law. I first found multiple insiders, including people in the U.S. government and the Contra movement, describing how North was running his back-channel war. In some of these investigative situations, we had two dozen or so sources describing detailed aspects of these operations before we made any allegations in print.

Now the argument is that because some people suspect something, even without evidence, major investigations are warranted. That is usually what a conspiracy theory sounds like. Someone claims not to understand how something could have happened a certain way and thus a full-scale inquiry is needed into some highly unlikely and speculative scenario.

Hacking and the Politics of Moral Outrage

With the chorus of calls for an “independent counsel” or “special prosecutor” to investigate the Russian hacking scandal, there has been one element that remains rather ambiguous: what is the specific crime to be investigated? Clearly there is the hacking but that crime is well-known and was committed by Russians who are unlikely to be subject to any real investigation. A special counsel, as opposed to a bipartisan commission, would require the articulation of a crime and the basis for the investigation. ...

Of course, the Russians did not “hack the election.” No votes were fabricated. Indeed, there is no proof of emails being fabricated (despite the claims of some Democratic leaders like Donna Brazile at the time). The reason the public has not risen up in anger is that it is hard to get the public outraged over being shown the duplicitous and dishonest character of their leaders — even if the release was clearly one-sided against Democrats. ...

The suggestions that Sessions committed perjury are far-fetched and unsupported. Some have suggested violations of the Logan Act. However, that 1799 law concerns calls for the fine or imprisonment of private citizens who attempt to intervene in disputes or controversies between the United States and foreign governments. It has never been used to convict a United States citizen and does not appear material to these allegations. If there were monetary payments to influence the election, that would constitute a crime but there has yet to be evidence such crimes.

Finally, there do appear to have been criminal leaks during and after the election. However, those are insular, conventional matters for investigation by the Justice Department. ... Until there is more evidence of a crime by United States citizens, there is little reason for a special counsel as opposed to the current investigations.

White House does not know if alleged surveillance of Trump was by wiretap

The White House has admitted that Donald Trump does not know what type of surveillance he is alleging he was put under by Barack Obama, despite a tweet on Saturday explicitly saying his phone was tapped.

Sean Spicer, the president’s press secretary, argued that there was “substantial reporting” to show the issue merited congressional investigation, but did not identify Trump’s sources. ...

But Spicer admitted he could not be more specific about what the abuse might have been. “I think that there’s no question that something happened. The question is, is it surveillance, is it a wiretap, or whatever?

“But there has been enough reporting that strongly suggests that something occurred and I think that’s why what he has said yesterday is that he wants Congress to look into this. And I think that there is enough out there now that makes one wonder how some of this happened without the existence of surveillance.”

Vault 7: WikiLeaks releases 'Year Zero' largest ever publication on CIA hacking tools

Wikileaks Vault 7: CIA Hacking Tools Revealed

Today, Tuesday 7 March 2017, WikiLeaks begins its new series of leaks on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Code-named "Vault 7" by WikiLeaks, it is the largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency.

The first full part of the series, "Year Zero", comprises 8,761 documents and files from an isolated, high-security network situated inside the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virgina. It follows an introductory disclosure last month of CIA targeting French political parties and candidates in the lead up to the 2012 presidential election. ...

"Year Zero" introduces the scope and direction of the CIA's global covert hacking program, its malware arsenal and dozens of "zero day" weaponized exploits against a wide range of U.S. and European company products, include Apple's iPhone, Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows and even Samsung TVs, which are turned into covert microphones.

Since 2001 the CIA has gained political and budgetary preeminence over the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). The CIA found itself building not just its now infamous drone fleet, but a very different type of covert, globe-spanning force — its own substantial fleet of hackers. The agency's hacking division freed it from having to disclose its often controversial operations to the NSA (its primary bureaucratic rival) in order to draw on the NSA's hacking capacities.

By the end of 2016, the CIA's hacking division, which formally falls under the agency's Center for Cyber Intelligence (CCI), had over 5000 registered users and had produced more than a thousand hacking systems, trojans, viruses, and other "weaponized" malware. Such is the scale of the CIA's undertaking that by 2016, its hackers had utilized more code than that used to run Facebook. The CIA had created, in effect, its "own NSA" with even less accountability and without publicly answering the question as to whether such a massive budgetary spend on duplicating the capacities of a rival agency could be justified.

Battle for Manbij shows Syria’s civil war is almost over – and it looks like Bashar Assad has won

Isis is confronting an array of enemies approaching Raqqa, but these are divided, with competing agendas and ambitions. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), whose main fighting force is the Syrian Kurdish Popular Mobilisation Units (YPG), backed by the devastating firepower of the US-led air coalition, are now getting close to Raqqa and are likely to receive additional US support. The US currently has 500 Special Operations troops in north-east Syria and may move in American-operated heavy artillery to reinforce the attack on Raqqa.

This is bad news for Turkey, whose military foray into northern Syria called Operation Euphrates Shield began last August, as it is being squeezed from all sides. In particular, an elaborate political and military chess game is being played around the town of Manbij, captured by the SDF last year, with the aim of excluding Turkey, which had declared it to be its next target. The Turkish priority in Syria is to contain and if possible reduce or eliminate the power of Syrian Kurds whom Ankara sees as supporting the Kurdish insurrection in Turkey.

Turkey will find it very difficult to attack Manbij, which the SDF captured from Isis after ferocious fighting last year, because the SDF said on Sunday that it is now under the protection of the US-led coalition. Earlier last week, the Manbij Military Council appeared to have outmanoeuvred the Turks by handing over villages west of Manbij – beginning to come under attack from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) militia backed by Turkey – to the Syrian Army which is advancing from the south with Russian air support. ...

Turkey and the two other big supporters of the Syrian armed opposition, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, are seeing their influence over events in Syria swiftly diminish. Iran and Hezbollah of Lebanon, who were the main foreign support of President Bashar al-Assad before 2015, do not have quite same leverage in Damascus since Russian military intervention in that year. American and British ambitions to see Mr Assad removed from power have been effectively abandoned and the Syrian government shows every sign of wanting to retake all of Syria.

North Korea rebuked for missile launch

Kim Jong Un issues new threat as the U.S. begin assembling anti-missile system

Tensions are rising on the Korean Peninsula. The U.S. military confirmed Tuesday it has begun assembling its controversial anti-missile defense system after North Korea test-fired four ballistic missiles on Monday. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un issued a stark warning to the U.S. and South Korea, promising to unleash a “nuclear-tipped missile” to “demolish” any country that attacks the secretive kingdom.

The latest flare-up in tension began with the start of annual U.S.-South Korean military exercises — known as Foal Eagle — last week. As usual, this angered Pyongyang and triggered the test firing of four ballistic missiles Monday. This was followed by an announcement that the U.S. and South Korea had begun assembling its anti-missile defense system. Then, through a statement issued by the Korean Central News Agency, Kim Jong Un said the latest missile tests were practising to strike U.S. military bases in Japan, and the dictator warned that any attack on North Korea would have dire consequences:

“If the United States or South Korea fires even a single flame inside North Korean territory, we will demolish the origin of the invasion and provocation with a nuclear tipped missile,” the KCNA statement said.

Israeli Defense Minister: Trump administration has warned us not to annex West Bank

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said Monday that Israel has received a direct message from US President Donald Trump’s administration warning of an “immediate crisis” if the government were to annex the West Bank and apply Israeli sovereignty there.

Speaking to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Liberman said that he had received calls from all over the world criticizing the idea of annexation, including a candid communique from the new US administration.

“The coalition should make unequivocally clear that there is no intention at the moment to apply Israeli sovereignty,” the defense minister said.

Furthermore, “we received a message directly — not indirectly, not a hint — from the US, that Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank means an immediate crisis with the new administration,” he added.

A spokesman for Liberman declined to comment on who from the US administration had delivered the message.

Part Trump, part Marine Le Pen: Geert Wilders could disrupt the Dutch election

There is a lot going on in Dutch politics right now – the disappearance of big parties, the implosion of the Social Democrats, and the ascendance of GreenLeft, which might become the biggest left-wing party in the Netherlands – but most international media have paid an inordinate amount of attention to the radical right-wing Geert Wilders and his “race for first place” with Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the conservative People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD). ...

Geert Wilders is a unique politician, who shares some features with Trump, others with Le Pen and Co., and a few with none at all.

In addition to a signature hairstyle (the Dutchman sports a blinding, bleach blonde slick-back), Wilders and Trump share an obsession with Twitter. But whereas Trump is an emotional tweeter, known for unleashing ill-constructed and ill-informed Twitter rants, Wilders has traditionally been cool and collected. ... He sends one or two well-crafted tweets for maximum effect, and it works. For years he has dominated the Dutch political debate through his tweets, which get picked up by the media and force mainstream politicians to respond to his latest “outrageous” remark. Unlike Trump, who was always willing to be interviewed on TV during the campaign, Wilders hardly ever agrees to an interview. Why would he? He gets all the media attention he wants through his tweets, and he keeps complete control over the message.

Where Protests Flourish, Anti-Protest Bills Follow

Over the past year, a historic level of activism and protest has spilled out into our nation’s parks, streets, and sidewalks — places where our First Amendment rights are at their height. The January 21 Women’s March, anchored in D.C. with echoes across the nation, was likely the single largest day of protest in American history. And yet, legislators in many states have followed up on this exuberant activism with proposed bills that are not only far less inspiring, but also unconstitutional.

Women’s March organizers are urging half the world's population to opt out of the economy for 24 hours

After Women’s March on Jan. 21 became the largest mass demonstration in U.S. history, it wasn’t clear whether it would mark the start of a new movement or be a singular event fueled by anger over Donald Trump’s election victory.

Organizers hope March 8 will clear that up with “A Day Without a Woman,” when half the world’s population is being encouraged to effectively opt out of the global economy.

The organizers are asking women around the world to take the day off work, whether their labor is paid or unpaid, and avoid spending money anywhere but at woman- or minority-owned businesses. Calling it an embrace of “feminism for the 99%” in an op-ed in the Guardian, the organizers wrote that one of the main goals is to demonstrate women’s collective economic power. It’s one of 10 actions the Women’s March organizers are rolling out during the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency. ...

Some employers are already reacting to the planned strike. A school district in North Carolina is reportedly cancelling class on Wednesday after it found out how many female teachers were planning on skipping work that day. Public schools in Alexandria, Virginia also plan to close because 300 teachers requested the day off, according to a statement.

GOP Deregulating Frenzy Takes Aim at Fair Pay and Safety Rules for Workers

Furthering the administration's anti-worker agenda (and its "deconstruction of the administrative state"), the U.S. Senate is poised on Monday to block an Obama-era executive order that ensures federal contractors adhere to labor laws, even as a new report from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) underscores the need for the order by documenting repeated violations by companies that held federal contracts.

The Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces order, signed by President Barack Obama in 2014 and effective in 2016, makes "it harder for companies to win federal contracts if they violate their workers' rights and withhold their wages" by making "companies that apply for federal contracts larger than half a million dollars [...] disclose any major labor law violations they or their subcontractors have committed in the previous three years" and "prohibit[s] companies that do business with the government from requiring their workers to agree to arbitration processes for workplace harassment or civil rights complaints, guaranteeing that workers who are sexually harassed or discriminated against can get their day in court," as ThinkProgress explained at the time.

"We know the executive order was necessary," the ACLU wrote last week, "because, according to a 2013 U.S. Senate report, federal contractors employ about 22 percent of the American workforce (approximately 26 million workers) and, shockingly, 30 percent of the worst violators of workplace safety and wage laws continued to receive federal contracts."

As such, undoing the order, wrote Celine McNicholas of Economic Policy Institute, means "there will be no effective system in place to ensure that taxpayer dollars support contractors with good health and safety records. Who benefits from this? Contractors that kill and injure workers."

The GOP Fix for Obamacare: Rich Get Tax Breaks While Millions of Others Lose Healthcare

House Republicans reveal bill to repeal and replace Obama's healthcare law

After weeks of promises, Republicans unveiled a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with a plan that shrinks the government’s role in healthcare, and could leave more Americans without health insurance.

Called the American Health Care Act, the bill would eliminate the individual mandate, which required Americans to have health insurance or pay a fine; cut the number of people insured under Medicaid; and allow insurance companies to charge the elderly up to five times more than the young.

The bill would require insurers to cover so-called pre-existing conditions, but would allow them to add a 30% surcharge to premiums if people go without insurance for too long.

Patient advocacy groups were quick to attack the plan, pointing out that it is a far cry from plans promised by Donald Trump. “Donald Trump promised that ‘we’re going to have insurance for everybody’,” said Ron Pollack, executive director of the left-leaning health advocacy organization Families USA. “This bill reveals those promises for what they always were: empty campaign rhetoric. The president doesn’t seem to understand that millions of lives are at stake here. We all deserve better.”

Ben Carson incorrectly suggests African slaves were 'immigrants' to US

Ben Carson ushered in his tenure as secretary of Housing and Urban Development by suggesting that Africans brought to the Americas during the Middle Passage as slaves were “immigrants” who imagined the US as a “land of dreams and opportunity”.

“That’s what America is about,” Carson said. “A land of dreams and opportunity. There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land.” His remarks came in his first address to employees of the agency, which he was confirmed to run by the Senate last week despite a lack of any formal knowledge on housing or development policy. ...

The speech is not the first time Carson has offered a misguided understanding of slavery during public remarks. In 2013 he told attendees at a conservative political convention that Barack Obama’s Affordable Care act was “really, I think, the worst thing to happen to the nation since slavery. And it is slavery, in a way.”

UN says Trump's revised travel ban will worsen plight of refugees

Donald Trump’s revised travel ban will increase the woes of the world’s refugees, the United Nations has said, as some of the Muslim-majority countries affected by the ban expressed their disappointment, insisting they had fully cooperated with US anti-terrorist efforts.

The executive order blocks entry to the US for citizens from six of the seven countries named in Trump’s original order – Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Syria and Libya – for a period of 90 days and suspends the US refugee programme for 120 days.

The UN high commissioner for refugees, Filippo Grandi, said refugees were not criminals but “ordinary people forced to flee war, violence and persecution in their home countries”. The secretary general, António Guterres, pointedly made an emergency visit to Somalia, saying people were dying in the country due to famine.

This is Still a Muslim Ban

Intent of Trump’s New Executive Order Is Basically Identical to His Original Muslim Ban

After a botched roll-out in January, President Donald Trump today signed a new version of his executive order to ban immigration to the United States from a number of Muslim-majority countries. The text of the new order removes Iraq from the list of countries affected and makes exceptions for green card holders and dual-citizens of targeted countries. The order also removes exceptions for religious minorities, targeting en masse the citizens of Iran, Sudan, Yemen, Syria, Libya and Somalia. The travel ban will go into effect on March 16th, ten days from its signing. ...

Despite a few modest revisions, there is little to indicate that the order signed today is different in intent. Trump’s own surrogates have publicly stated that it is intended to be effectively identical to the much-derided order signed in January. Steven Miller, a senior adviser to the president, described it as “the same, basic policy outcome for the country.” In a statement issued today the ACLU said that the revised order “shares the same fatal flaws” as the original one, adding that “the only way to actually fix the Muslim ban is not to have a Muslim ban.” ...

A recent study by the Cato Institute has also found that people from countries targeted by the ban “have killed zero Americans in terrorist attacks on U.S. soil between 1975 and the end of 2015.” Legal advocates say the executive order has nothing to do with national security and is designed solely to prevent Muslims from entering the United States.

The line is drawn, the curse is cast.

Liberals to Senate Democrats: Reject Trump’s Supreme Court pick or else

Eleven progressive groups came together Monday to harshly criticize Senate Democrats for not fighting hard enough against President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick Neil Gorsuch, and hinted at primary challenges for any Democrat who votes yes.

“Democrats have failed to demonstrate a strong, unified resistance to this nominee, despite the fact that he is an ultra-conservative jurist who will undermine our basic freedoms and threaten the independence of the federal judiciary,” wrote the groups, including NARAL Pro-Choice America, MoveOn.org, SEIU, Working Families Party, 350 Action, CREDO Action, and others. “We need you to do better.” ...

“Democrats who vote yes on cloture or on Gorsuch’s confirmation will be held accountable by their constituents and by the progressive base of the Democratic Party,” CREDO Political Director Murshed Zaheed said in a statement to VICE News.

“There are lots of climate activists across the country who are ready to support primary candidates who take on Democrats who aren’t standing up to Trump,” added May Boeve, executive director of environmental organization 350 Action, in a statement.

‘I like George W. Bush now’: Liberals warm up to former president after his criticism of Trump

Solar power growth leaps by 50% worldwide thanks to US and China

The amount of solar power added worldwide soared by some 50% last year because of a sun rush in the US and China, new figures show.

New solar photovoltaic capacity installed in 2016 reached more than 76 gigawatts, a dramatic increase on the 50GW installed the year before. China and the US led the surge, with both countries almost doubling the amount of solar they added in 2015, according to data compiled by Europe’s solar power trade body.

Globally there is now 305GW of solar power capacity, up from around 50GW in 2010 and virtually nothing at the turn of the millennium.

UN experts denounce 'myth' pesticides are necessary to feed the world

The idea that pesticides are essential to feed a fast-growing global population is a myth, according to UN food and pollution experts.

A new report, being presented to the UN human rights council on Wednesday, is severely critical of the global corporations that manufacture pesticides, accusing them of the “systematic denial of harms”, “aggressive, unethical marketing tactics” and heavy lobbying of governments which has “obstructed reforms and paralysed global pesticide restrictions”.

The report says pesticides have “catastrophic impacts on the environment, human health and society as a whole”, including an estimated 200,000 deaths a year from acute poisoning. Its authors said: “It is time to create a global process to transition toward safer and healthier food and agricultural production.”

The world’s population is set to grow from 7 billion today to 9 billion in 2050. The pesticide industry argues that its products – a market worth about $50bn (£41bn) a year and growing – are vital in protecting crops and ensuring sufficient food supplies.

“It is a myth,” said Hilal Elver, the UN’s special rapporteur on the right to food. “Using more pesticides is nothing to do with getting rid of hunger. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), we are able to feed 9 billion people today. Production is definitely increasing, but the problem is poverty, inequality and distribution.”

Arctic sea ice could disappear even if world achieves climate target

Arctic sea ice could vanish in summers this century even if governments achieve a core target for limiting global warming set by almost 200 countries, scientists have said. The ice has been shrinking steadily in recent decades, damaging the livelihoods of indigenous people and wildlife, such as polar bears, while opening the region to more shipping and oil and gas exploration.

Under the 2015 Paris agreement, governments set a goal of limiting the rise in average world temperatures to well below 2C (3.6F) above pre-industrial times, with an aspiration of just 1.5C. “The 2C target may be insufficient to prevent an ice-free Arctic,” James Screen and Daniel Williamson of Exeter University wrote in the Nature Climate Change journal after a review of ice projections.

A 2C rise would still mean a 39% risk that ice would disappear in the Arctic Ocean in summers, they said. Ice was virtually certain to survive, however, with just 1.5C of warming. They estimated a 73% probability that the ice would disappear in summers unless governments made deeper cuts in emissions. The scientists estimated temperatures would rise 3C on current trends.
