Scope of Secretive FBI National Security Letters Revealed by First Lifted Gag Order

Fourteen years after the FBI began using national security letters to unilaterally and quietly demand records from Internet service providers, telephone companies and financial institutions, one recipient — former ISP founder Nicholas Merrill — is finally free to talk about what it’s like to get one.

The FBI issues the letters, known as NSLs, without any judicial review whatsoever. And they come with a gag order. ...

One of the most striking revelations, Merrill said during a press teleconference, was that the FBI was requesting detailed cell site location information — cellphone tracking records — under the heading of “radius log” information. Traditionally, radius log refers to a user’s attempts to connect to a server or a DSL line — a sort of anachronism given the progress of technology.

“The notion that the government can collect cellphone location information — to turn your cellphone into a tracking device, just by signing a letter — is extremely troubling,” Merrill said. ...

And, according to Merrill, the FBI’s request for “any other information which you consider to be an electronic communication transactional record” also includes incredibly invasive things like a detailed list of all the web searches performed on a computer.

Pentagon may send more U.S. troops to Syria

The Pentagon will consider deploying more special operations troops to fight Islamic State militants if its pilot project in Syria shows signs of progress, a senior Defense official told USA TODAY on Monday.

The Pentagon last month announced that 50 commandos would be sent to northern Syria to advise forces battling the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS. Sending that initial force amounts to "breaking the seal" on inserting special operations forces in Syria and could lead to further deployments, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about planning. The Pentagon will not comment on whether those commandos have arrived in Syria.

The trigger for sending more special operations forces, the official said, is the ability of local forces to take ground from ISIL in Syria and hold it. Adding more forces on the ground in Syria would represent a significant deepening of the U.S. commitment to the counter-ISIL effort, potentially requiring additional forces to support them. There are about 3,400 American forces in Iraq.

Turkish weapons ‘heading to end in ISIS hands’: RT speaks to Cumhuriyet journalists

War with Isis: President Obama Demands That Turkey Close Stretch of Frontier with Syria

Ankara is accused of tolerance of – if not complicity with – the terrorists, who use border as a crossing point for Isis recruits and oil sales

The US is demanding that Turkey close a 60-mile stretch of its border with Syria which is the sole remaining crossing point for Isis militants, including some of those involved in the massacre in Paris and other terrorist plots.

The complete closure of the 550-mile-long border would be a serious blow to Isis, which has brought tens of thousands of Islamist volunteers across the frontier over the past three years.

In the wake of the Isis attacks in Paris, Washington is making clear to Ankara that it will no longer accept Turkish claims that it is unable to cordon off the remaining short section of the border still used by Isis. “The game has changed. Enough is enough. The border needs to be sealed,” a senior official in President Barack Obama’s administration told The Wall Street Journal, describing the tough message that Washington has sent to the Turkish government. “This is an international threat, and it’s coming out of Syria and it’s coming through Turkish territory.”

The US estimates some 30,000 Turkish troops would be needed to close the border between Jarabulus on the Euphrates and the town of Kilis, further west in Turkey, according to the paper. US intelligence agencies say that the stretch of frontier most commonly used by Isis is between Jarabulus, where the official border crossing has been closed, and the town of Cobanbey. ...

Last week a Turkish court jailed two prominent journalists for publishing pictures of a Turkish truck delivering ammunition to opposition fighters in Syria. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan claimed that the weapons were destined for Turkmen paramilitaries allied to Turkey fighting in Syria, but this was denied by Turkish political leaders close to the Turkmen.

Erdogan promises to resign if ISIS oil links to Turkey are confirmed

Obama Stands Up for Turkey As Its Row With Russia Gets Personal

Speaking after a meeting with Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Paris, where he has been attending the climate summit, Obama said "The United States supports Turkey's right to defend itself and its air space."

The two leaders discussed "how Turkey and Russia can work together to de-escalate tensions" and find a diplomatic path to resolve the issue, he said. ...

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan challenged his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Monday to prove his claims that Turkey shot down the jet because it wanted to protect supplies of oil from Islamic State militants.

Speaking to reporters at the United Nations summit, Erdogan said such claims were "slander" and said he would resign if they were proved true — before throwing the gauntlet back to Putin.

"We are not that dishonest as to buy oil from terrorists," he said. "As soon as such a claim is proved, the nobility of our nation requires [me] to do this, I will not remain in this post. But I am asking Mr Putin, would you remain?"

Some interesting tidbits in this article:

Putin’s Revenge? The Fight for the Border

In candid remarks to the Russian media, Putin implicated the US in the downing of the Su-24 stating that the US military was briefed on the warplane’s flight path and then immediately passed along that information to Turkey. Here’s what he said:

“We told our US partners in advance where, when at what altitudes our pilots were going to operate. The US-led coalition, which includes Turkey, was aware of the time and place where our planes would operate. And this is exactly where and when we were attacked. Why did we share this information with the Americans? Either they don’t control their allies, or they just pass this information left and right without realizing what the consequences of such actions might be. We will have to have a serious talk with our US partners.”

Putin’s damning remarks have not appeared in any of the western media. The censorship of this information is similar to the blackout of comments Putin made just two weeks earlier at the G-20 summit where he announced that “40 countries” are financing ISIS including members of the G-20.

The Real Reason for Turkey’s Shoot-Down of the Russian Jet

The central Turkish claim that its F-16 pilots had warned the two Russian aircraft 10 times during a period of five minutes actually is the primary clue that Turkey was not telling the truth about the shoot-down.

The Russian Su-24 “Fencer” jet fighter, which is comparable to the US F111, is capable of a speed of 960 miles per hour at high altitude, but at low altitude its cruising
speed is around 870 mph, or about 13 miles per minute. The navigator of the second plane confirmed after his rescue that the Su-24s were flying at cruising speed during the flight.

Close analysis of both the Turkish and Russian images of the radar path of the Russian jets indicates that the earliest point at which either of the Russian planes was on a path that might have been interpreted as taking it into Turkish airspace was roughly 16 miles from the Turkish border – meaning that it was only a minute and 20 seconds away from the border.

Furthermore according to both versions of the flight path, five minutes before the shoot-down the Russian planes would have been flying eastward – away from the Turkish border.

If the Turkish pilots actually began warning the Russian jets five minutes before the shoot-down, therefore, they were doing so long before the planes were even headed in the general direction of the small projection of the Turkish border in Northern Latakia province.

In order to carry out the strike, in fact, the Turkish pilots would have had to be in the air already and prepared to strike as soon as they knew the Russian aircraft were airborne.

The evidence from the Turkish authorities themselves thus leaves little room for doubt that the decision to shoot down the Russian jet was made before the Russian jets even began their flight.

Advanced Russian Fighters Arrive in Syria to Escort Bombing Raids

Following last week’s Turkish military shoot-down of a Su-24 Russian bomber over Syrian airspace, Russia announced its intention to begin providing fighter escorts to their future bombing runs in the area to avoid future incidents.

Today, advanced Russian Su-34 fighter jets, armed with air-to-air missiles, arrived in Syria to take part in the escort missions, which Russian Air Force officials described as “self-defense” operations. Russia has also deployed air defense systems in northwestern Syria since the incident.

Ousting Assad is Counterproductive and Illegal, Says Congresswoman

Iraq Announces ‘Imminent’ Assault on ISIS-Held Ramadi

Six months after losing the Anbar capital city of Ramadi to ISIS, the Iraqi military today is dropping leaflets on the city reporting a full-scale offensive will be carried out in the next 24-hours, and are ordering all civilians out of the city.

Iraq’s military has made much out of trying to surround the city of Ramadi for several months, and in recent days had reportedly done so, cutting off supplies between ISIS defenders in the city and the rest of Anbar. After six months of holding the city, ISIS is believed to have significant defenses in place.

US investigation into Medecins Sans Frontiers Kunduz hospital air strike slammed by analysts

The US investigation into an air strike on a charity-run hospital in Afghanistan cites mistakes so "reckless" that they leave open the unsettling question of whether those involved had ripped up their own rulebook in a chaotic effort to take out the Taliban, analysts say. ...

A catalogue of errors General Campbell listed that ultimately resulted in the AC-130 gunship firing on the hospital went against safeguards that had "long been standard operating procedure," Kate Clark of Afghanistan Analysts Network said.

"The question remains whether the disregard of these procedures was intentional," she wrote, underscoring the need for an independent international inquiry into the strike which killed 30 people and which observers have said could amount to a war crime.

MSF hospital in Syria hit by 'double-tap' barrel bombing

A hospital operated by Médecins Sans Frontières in Homs has been partially destroyed in a “double-tap” barrel bombing, a signature tactic of the Syrian air force, the charity has said.

The strikes on the hospital in Zafarana, a besieged town in northern Homs, killed seven people including a young girl, MSF said in a statement, and prompted the movement to nearby field hospitals of many wounded, some of whom died on the way.

Saturday’s strikes were the latest in an apparent pattern of escalating attacks on medical facilities and doctors in the Syrian civil war, according to human rights organisations. ...

The attack is the third on an MSF facility in two months. In October, an MSF hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, was all but destroyed by US airstrikes, killing 30 people including 13 medical staff in what the organisation called a blatant breach of international law. Later that month, an MSF-run hospital in the northern Yemeni province of Sa’ada was destroyed in a missile strike.

America's christian terrorists like to attack medical facilities, too:

Working at Planned Parenthood: 'Every day, someone threatened to kill me'

After a shooter killed three at a Colorado clinic, current and former employees across the US have spoken up about the ‘constant state of fear’ in their daily lives

If Bryn Greenwood had called the police every time someone threatened to kill her, she doesn’t see how the Planned Parenthood clinic where she worked at the time could have kept its doors open.

“You report a phone call like that, the police show up, and the clinic gets shut down for half a day,” said Greenwood, recalling her years as an administrative assistant for the Planned Parenthood in Wichita, Kansas. “And truly, there were weeks where every single day, someone called and threatened to kill me.”

Greenwood found herself dwelling on these memories from more than a decade ago after a shooter on Friday killed three people and injured nine others at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs. And she was not alone. Although the murders marked the first time in more than two decades that an attack on an American abortion clinic has turned deadly, violence toward clinics has always been a constant. According to the National Abortion Federation, an association of abortion providers, between 1977 and 2014, 8 abortion providers or employees have been murdered, and 14 have been the target of attempted murder. There were 42 bombings and 186 instances of arson against clinics in that time period – and there have been four new arson cases at Planned Parenthood clinics in the last four months.

Planned Parenthood Says Colorado Shooting Was a Hate Crime Caused by 'Toxic Rhetoric'

Three days after a gunman killed three people and wounded nine others at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado, politicians are publicly wrangling about whether the incident should be called an act of domestic terrorism, a debate that has focused on rambling remarks about "baby parts" the suspected shooter reportedly made to police after he was arrested.

Police have declined to speculate on the motive of alleged shooter Robert Lewis Dear, but Planned Parenthood says it has no doubt about what sparked the incident. On Monday, Joan Malin, the President and CEO of Planned Parenthood New York, said the 57-year-old Dear was driven by "dangerous" anti-abortion sentiment whipped up in the wake of a recent "sting" video controversy.

Malin linked the incident to "relentless" and "toxic" rhetoric from the organization's opponents. "[Dear's] own statement to police, in which he mentioned something about 'no more baby parts,' is exactly the same phrasing used by anti-abortion activists," she said. "The language used by our opposition has created a heightened and tense situation that has now been translated to violence. It's hard to imagine there's no link between this incident and the toxic rhetoric that ratchets up the tension." ...

Republican politicians and presidential candidates, including Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina, and Ted Cruz, have frequently referenced unproven activities allegedly carried out by the group, including claims of "dismembering" or "harvesting" babies or "baby parts," the phrase Dear allegedly uttered when he was taken into custody. ...

Law enforcement officials told ABC News on Sunday that the Justice Department is currently building a domestic terrorism case against Dear, but that it would only move forward if the state case became "sidetracked."

Inside Saudi Arabia’s Campaign to Charm American Policymakers and Journalists

Soon after launching a brutal air and ground assault in Yemen, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia began devoting significant resources to a sophisticated public relations blitz in Washington, D.C. ...

Elements of the charm offensive include the launch of a pro-Saudi Arabia media portal operated by high-profile Republican campaign consultants; a special English-language website devoted to putting a positive spin on the latest developments in the Yemen war; glitzy dinners with American political and business elites; and a non-stop push to sway reporters and policymakers. That has been accompanied by a spending spree on American lobbyists with ties to the Washington establishment. ...

Saudi Arabia’s relationship with the U.S. has come under particular strain in recent years as the government has not only launched the brutal war in Yemen, but has embarked on a wave of repression. Following the appointment of Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud to the Saudi throne in January, the Kingdom sharply increased the number of people executed — often by beheading and crucifixion — for daring to protest or criticize the government or for crimes as minor as adultery or “witchcraft.” On November 17, a Saudi court sentenced Ashraf Fayadh, a famed poet, to death for “apostasy.”

There have also been reports that Saudi Arabia continues to be a leading driver of Sunni terror networks worldwide, including in Syria and Iraq. The Saudi Arabian government is currently supplying weapons to a Syrian rebel coalition that includes the Nusra Front, al Qaeda’s affiliate in the region. As the New York Times has reported, private donors in Saudi Arabia have also worked as fundraisers for the Islamic State, or ISIS. And there is a renewed, bipartisan push by lawmakers to declassify the 28 pages of the 9/11 Commission Report, a censored section that reportedly relates to Saudi state support for al Qaeda’s operation. ...

Kingdom-backed nonprofits have secured positive press through a number of channels. For instance, on September 21, Hussein Ibish, a senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington, a new think tank fully funded by the governments of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, penned an opinion column in the New York Times heralding “A Saudi-American Reset.”

Economist Has Convincing Theory on How Extreme Inequality Creates Extremist Violence

Influential French economist Thomas Piketty argues in a column published Le Monde last week and translated by the Washington Post on Monday that the concentration of wealth in the hands of just a few petro-monarchies has made the Middle East region the "most unequal on the planet." ...

In those states, Piketty says, the have-nots, including women and refugees, are often kept in a state of "semi-slavery." This, combined with a series of foreign interventions, have created what he described as a "powder keg" for terrorism.

The Post notes that "Piketty is particularly scathing when he blames the inequality of the region, and the persistence of oil monarchies that perpetuate it, on the West."

Indeed, the economist writes: "These are the regimes that are militarily and politically supported by Western powers, all too happy to get some crumbs to fund their [soccer] clubs or sell some weapons. No wonder our lessons in social justice and democracy find little welcome among Middle Eastern youth."

US marine guilty of killing transgender woman in Philippines

A court in the Philippines has convicted a US marine of killing a Filipino in a hotel last year after he discovered she was a transgender woman. He had been taking part in joint military exercises in the country.

L/Cpl Joseph Scott Pemberton was convicted on Tuesday of homicide by first strangling Jennifer Laude and then dunking her head into a toilet bowl in the hotel they had checked into after meeting in a bar in Olongapo city, north-west of Manila. Court clerk Gerry Gruspe said Pemberton had been sentenced to six to 12 years in jail, but time already spent in detention would be taken off his term.

Laude’s mother, Julita, said that while she was happy that the verdict detailed everything that had transpired, she was not pleased with the sentence because she had hoped Pemberton would be found guilty of murder, a more serious crime than homicide. ...

Outside the court, a small number of leftwing activists celebrated but warned that they would watch to ensure that Pemberton was detained in a Philippine jail, as the judge ordered.

The killing in October 2014 sparked anger in the Philippines and reignited calls by leftwing groups and nationalists for an end to America’s military presence in the country at a time when the US is reasserting its dominance in Asia and Manila has turned to Washington for support amid an escalating territorial dispute with China.

Americans Are Still Being Imprisoned For Being HIV Positive

There has never been a documented case in which HIV was transmitted via saliva. But Willie Campbell, who is HIV positive, has been behind bars for nearly a decade and is serving a 35-year sentence for spitting at a Dallas police officer. According to the ruling, Campbell's saliva was a deadly weapon, and spitting at the officer was akin to using a firearm.

In 2008, Daniel Allen, who is also HIV positive, bit his neighbor during a fight and was subsequently arrested and charged — with bioterrorism. Allen faced a possible 28-year prison sentence before the charges were thrown out.

That same year, Patrice Ginn was sentenced to eight years behind bars on charges that she didn't tell her partner she had HIV. There was conflicting testimony at the trial about whether or not she told him; he brought the charges only after their relationship ended. Ginn's partner never actually contracted HIV.

These are just three examples of how old laws still on the books all over the United States — laws whose very premises are contradicted by science — are still getting HIV-positive people arrested and sent to prison. Many of the behaviors that are criminalized have almost no chance of transmitting the virus. ...

At least 80 HIV-positive people have been prosecuted for having consensual sex, spitting on people, or biting people in the last two years alone, according to a report by the Center for HIV Law and Policy — and Catherine Hanssens, executive director of the Center for HIV Law and Policy says those are just the people of whom the center became aware. Thirty-four states have HIV criminalization laws, and even states without HIV-specific laws have been known to prosecute people with HIV.

Interesting article exposes some interesting coincidences, here's a taste:

Where did the word 'Taser' come from? A century-old racist science fiction novel

The brand name Taser has become as synonymous with these devices as Kleenex or Xerox have to photocopies and tissues – a quirk of language known as a “proprietary eponym”. The word has even become a verb, as people commonly speak of being “Tased” or “Tasered”

The word Taser, though, didn’t start with the company: it’s actually a loose acronym of the book Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle. Jack Cover, the inventor of the modern ECD, named his prototype after the YA sci-fi novel he loved, and the very idea for a less-lethal electric gun was largely inspired by the fictional one described in the book. ...

Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle, published in New York in 1911 under the pen name Victor Appleton, is typical of the literature of its time: an imperialist adventure tale set against the backdrop of a wild and dark African continent. In it, the protagonist, Tom Swift, develops an electric rifle – a totally novel idea in 1911 – and decides to test it in Africa in the hunt for ivory.

Africa, in the context of the book, exists only as a frontier of underexploited resources ripe for the wealth accumulation of white men daring enough to attempt. “Elephant shooting in Africa! My! With my new electric rifle ... what a fellow couldn’t do in the dark continent!”

“With the price of ivory soaring,” says Swift’s veteran hunting companion, “there’s a chance for us all to get a lot of money.”

While this unabashed entrepreneurial imperialism tends to read as a relic of a bygone age, today disproportionately white police departments in places like Ferguson, Missouri, often function similarly as the adventurers sent to do the dangerous work of this kind of wealth generation. Like in the book, black communities are often seen not as dynamic places where people live lives, but as sites for plunder.

Four men charged over shooting of Jamar Clark protesters in Minneapolis

Investigation under way into felony hate-crime charges for shooting that left five people injured as prosecutor says actions of the accused are ‘just not acceptable’

Officials have filed charges today against four men accused of shooting into a crowd of protesters in Minneapolis a week ago.

Protests have been ongoing outside the precinct building since police shot Jamar Clark, an unarmed black man, just a few hundred yards down the road on 15 November. He died in hospital a day later.

Witnesses have told the Guardian that the four attackers were being aggressive with protesters, and were using racial slurs. They were escorted from the protest and one of them then opened fire, wounding five people. ...

The assailant who allegedly fired the shots, Allen Scarsella, was charged with five counts of second-degree assault and one count of second-degree riot with a dangerous weapon. The other three – Joseph Backman, Nathan Gustavsson and Daniel Macey – were each charged with second-degree riot with a dangerous weapon.

In a press conference on Monday afternoon, Hennepin County attorney Mike Freeman said that the investigation was still ongoing as to whether further charges, including possible felony hate-crime charges, might be brought against the four men.

Chicago police officer accused of Laquan McDonald killing released on bond

The Chicago police officer charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a black teenager was released on Monday evening after posting bond.

Officer Jason Van Dyke, who was shown on local media outlets leaving Cook County jail, had his bond set at $1.5m, and needed to post $150,000 to get out.

Van Dyke, who is white, was arrested on 24 November and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the 2014 shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. The arrest came just one day before a court-ordered deadline for the city to release a dashcam footage of the incident.

Under House Arrest, a Climate Activist Waits Out the Paris Conference

In the wake of the ISIS attacks on November 13, the French government has declared a three-month state of emergency that allows for house arrests, unwarranted searches, and limitations on the movement of people. The government also banned public demonstrations, including the massive actions that had been planned for the international climate conference, known as COP21. Numerous reports have emerged of police raids on individuals with no plausible connection to terrorism, including climate activists.

Climate activist Joel Domenjoud had been busy that week fighting in court against the ban on demonstrations and preparing alternative actions related to the climate talks, which began today. He had been awaiting the results of what is known as a référé liberté arguing that the ban violated the fundamental rights of those affected and asking an administrative judge to overturn it. The judge declined to do so. ...

Domenjoud was served with a document saying he would be placed under house arrest for the full two weeks of the conference because of his alleged leadership role in planning COP21 protests. Citing the gravity of the terrorist threat and the presence of world leaders, the reasons for the arrest included his participation in COP21 preparatory meetings, his organization of workshops at a summer anti-nuclear camp in Bure, and the possibility that he might facilitate the actions of “black bloc” protesters, who are more likely to take aggressive action or disobey police.

Domenjoud is one of 24 French activists who were put under house arrest last week for planning protest actions related to the climate conference. He doesn’t know the names of most of the 23 others, but he became their de facto media spokesperson after a human rights organization included his name in a press release. ... The event he helped plan for November 29 was to include hundreds of thousands of people. “This was very a big challenge for security,” he said, even before the attacks. “The state of emergency brought an answer to what they could not resolve.”

Organizers had envisioned a radical space at the march’s starting point, where those uninterested in marching in what some viewed as a parade put on by NGOs could exchange ideas and build an anti-capitalist movement. And this perhaps is one reason the authorities felt so threatened by Domenjoud.

Police Clash With Protesters in Paris: COP21 - Climate Emergency

Climate Artists Commit 'Brandalism' to Expose Corporate Hijacking of COP21

As the French state cracks down on public protests, a group of artists has devised a creative—and clandestine—way to illustrate public outrage at what they call the "corporate takeover" of the ongoing COP21 United Nations climate talks in Paris.

Naming their campaign "Brandalism," over 80 artists from 19 countries have plastered the French capital with 600 unauthorized pieces of art taking the form of spoof advertisements to critique the role of multinationals, from AirFrance to Dow Chemical, in the summit.

The works were placed in real spots owned by the advertising corporation JC Decaux, one of the many corporate sponsors of the climate summit. ...

"Following the tragic events on 13th November in Paris, the government has chosen to ban the big civil society mobilizations—but big business events can continue," said Bill Posters, a spokesperson for Brandalism, in a press statement. "The multinationals responsible for climate change can keep green-washing their destructive business models, but the communities directly impacted by them are silenced." ...

The public art campaign builds on mounting civil society concern that the same corporations that deny science and drive carbon pollution are sponsoring and participating in the climate talks.

More than 11,000 Norwegians line up to shoot 16 wolves

Wolves have emerged as the most sought-after animal for Norwegian hunters this season, with 11,571 people registering for licences to shoot 16 animals – a ratio of 723 hunters per wolf.

The animals – of which Norway may have as few as 30 living in the wild – top the league in new figures that reveal a trigger-happy community of hunters.

The Norwegian brown bear comes in a close second with 10,930 registered licence holders keen to hunt down 18 individuals, followed by 10,820 licence holders interested in 141 wolverines, according to the country’s register for hunters.
