The cover-up of George W. Obama's war crimes continues, and by the way, your tax dollars are paying to keep torturers roaming the streets.

Trump Administration Fights In Court To Prevent Top CIA Official From Testifying On Torture

More than eight years after President Obama formally ended the CIA’s torture program, the Trump administration is fighting to block the CIA’s new deputy director from providing a deposition about her role in pioneering the agency’s most abusive torture techniques. The Trump administration appointed Gina Haspel as deputy director of the CIA in February, attracting criticism from human rights advocates due to her former role in abusive interrogations. The move was interpreted as a public sign of the administration’s approval for some of the CIA’s most brutal abuses after the 9/11 attacks.

Haspel is being called to provide a deposition by James Mitchell and John “Bruce” Jessen — two contract psychologists who made tens of millions of dollars for their work shaping the CIA’s torture program. The ACLU is suing Mitchell and Jessen on behalf of three former CIA detainees — one of whom died in captivity in 2002 after being beaten and doused with cold water. Lawyers for Mitchell and Jessen claim that everything the psychologists did was authorized by the CIA, and that Haspel would confirm that if the court ordered her to give a deposition. Lawyers are also seeking numerous documents, and a deposition from James Cotsana — a retired CIA official whom Mitchell and Jessen identified as their direct supervisor. ...

In a hearing before a district court in Washington state on Friday, the government said that deposing Haspel and Cotsana would reveal “state secrets,” and that despite media reports, the government could not confirm or deny Haspel and Cotsana’s role in the program. For more than a decade, the Bush and Obama administrations have used the state secrets privilege to block numerous lawsuits against government agencies and the architects of the torture program. ... Knowing they could face legal liability for their actions, the CIA provided Mitchell and Jessen with a multi-million dollar indemnification contract in 2007 – meaning that if they were sued for their actions, taxpayers would foot the bill.

ACLU Sues Trump Administration for Files on Botched SEAL Raid in Yemen

Donald Trump's administration is trying to close the book on its first major military operation – a botched Navy SEAL raid in Yemen that turned into a village-wide massacre, killing as many as 25 people, including 10 children. But the ACLU, which made a Freedom of Information Act request in March, has just filed a lawsuit to force the government to open its files.

When the residents of al Ghayil village in central Yemen heard gunfire the night of January 29th, they returned fire, thinking that they were under attack by a local party in Yemen’s civil war. U.S. forces then strafed the village with helicopter gunfire, killing villagers, damaging a dozen buildings, and wiping out the village’s livestock.

The raid, which Trump reportedly authorized over dinner, also resulted in the death of a Navy Seal, William “Ryan” Owens, and the destruction of a $70 million Osprey helicopter. The raid did not kill its intended target — a senior al Qaeda leader — and villagers denied that Al Qaeda had a presence in the village.

President Trump has insisted the raid was “highly successful,” but his administration has provided very few details about how the raid was authorized and who was killed. On Monday, the ACLU filed suit against the Trump administration to try and uncover basic information about the raid – who was killed, how the raid was approved, and its legal basis.

Relative calm prevails in Syrian safe zones after deal implemented

Relative calm prevailed Saturday in wide parts of war-ravaged Syria despite sporadic violations and clashes after a deal to set up "de-escalation zones" in mostly opposition-held areas went into effect, opposition activists and government media outlets said.

There were no immediate reports of casualties after the plan hammered out by Russia, Turkey and Iran — the latest attempt to bring calm to the country — kicked in at midnight Friday.

The establishment of safe zones is the latest international attempt to reduce violence amid a six-year civil war that has left more than 400,000 dead, and is the first to envisage armed foreign monitors on the ground in Syria. The United States is not party to the agreement and the Syrian rivals have not signed on to the deal. The armed opposition, instead, was highly critical of the proposal, saying it lacks legitimacy.

Details of of the plan must still be worked out over the next several weeks. There were limited reports of bombing in northern Homs and Hama, and the southern province of Daraa, areas expected to be part of the "de-escalation zones," activists said. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Pentagon Ramps Up Space Warfare Spending

A sonic boom was heard across central Florida today as the X-37B unmanned “space plane” returned to Earth after a highly secretive, 700+ day experimental mission in orbit around the planet, according to the US Air Force. The Air Force insisted the operation was generally focused on reusable space technology, though analysts say the secrecy suggests some surveillance was being conducted.

This is just part of the Air Force ambitions to dramatically increase their general spending on space warfare, with Stratcom deputy director Brig. Gen. John Shaw insisted that the US “will be threatened in space, and we need to be prepared for that.”

John Oliver may have his shortcomings, but this is an issue that he has been doing yeoman's work on.

John Oliver on net neutrality: 'Every internet group needs to come together'

John Oliver has sent out a warning over the Trump administration’s attack on net neutrality, detailing the problems that it could bring. ...

Oliver explained net neutrality in more detail, saying it essentially restricted the ability of internet service providers (ISPs) to make it easier to connect to sites they favor. He spoke about Verizon, a company that has sent out a contradictory message. “So when Verizon claims: ‘Hey, we love the open internet but why don’t we just put it on a different legal footing,’ it’s basically OJ Simpson asking why you won’t let him hold any of your samurai swords,” he said. ...

He went on to say that “there are multiple examples of ISP fuckery over the years” so restrictions are important.

“I do not particularly trust this or any Congress to get something as complicated as this right, and I definitely wouldn’t want the current president involved as, and this will not surprise you, he doesn’t seem to have any idea what any of this is,” he said.

Oliver finished with a plea, asking people to lodge their concerns on the FCC site.

“Every internet group needs to come together, like you successfully did three years ago,” he said. “Every subculture must join as one: gamers, YouTube celebrities, Instagram models, Tom from MySpace, if you’re still alive. We need all of you – and I cannot believe I’m saying this, but Donald Trump’s internet fans on sites like 4chan and Reddit, the most powerful online trolls of all.”

One German soldier's fake Syrian refugee terror plot stokes fears of hidden military extremism

A German military officer with far-right beliefs created a fake identity as a Syrian refugee — successfully gaining political asylum and claiming monthly benefits — with the intention of carrying out a terror attack in his home country and framing it on his fictitious alter ego. The 28-year-old lieutenant, named in German media as Franco A, was arrested in the southern city of Hammelburg last Wednesday before he could carry out the attack.  

The bizarre case has sparked a political firestorm in Germany, highlighting glaring inadequacies in the country’s refugee system and prompting a sweeping probe into far-right extremism in German security forces. Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen has traded accusations with military chiefs over how the lieutenant was allowed to continue serving in the military even though his extremist views had been known to higher-ups for years. ...

Reports of pockets of right-wing extremism within Germany’s military are nothing new, says Gustav Gressel, a senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. But this is the first time a soldier has been caught allegedly plotting a deadly terror attack, and the incident has caused shockwaves in Germany. “This is something new, and significantly worse,” said Gressel.

Franco A’s arrest comes just weeks after the Defense Ministry revealed that the military counterintelligence agency was investigating 275 suspected right-wing extremists in the forces, stemming from incidents in which soldiers made Nazi salutes, made racist comments, and in one case, said, “Heil Hitler.” Public displays of Nazi symbols and salutes are illegal in Germany.

Emmanuel Macron vows unity after winning French presidential election

The pro-EU centrist Emmanuel Macron has vowed to unite a divided and fractured France after winning a decisive victory over the far-right Front National candidate Marine Le Pen in the country’s presidential election.

Macron, 39, a former economy minister who ran as a “neither left nor right” independent promising to shake up the French political system, took 66% to Le Pen’s 34%.

His victory was hailed by his supporters as holding back a tide of populism after the Brexit vote and Donald Trump’s victory in the US election. ...

Despite the wide margin of the final result, Le Pen’s score nonetheless marked a historic high for the French far right. Even after a lacklustre campaign that ended with a calamitous performance in the final TV debate, she was projected to have taken almost 11m votes, double that of her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, when he reached the presidential run-off in 2002. The anti-immigration, anti-EU Front National’s supporters asserted that the party had a central place as an opposition force in France.

Turnout was the lowest in more than 40 years. Almost one-third of voters chose neither Macron nor Le Pen, with 12 million abstaining and 4.2 million spoiling ballot papers.

Neoliberal Investment Banker Macron Defeats Openly Xenophobic & Racist Le Pen in French Election

Marine Le Pen has been defeated, but Emmanuel Macron inherits a divided France

After the most extraordinary and nasty election campaign France has ever seen, a young, inexperienced but audacious man has become the new French president — all without having ever fought an election before.

Despite the joy and sense of relief many felt in France when the outcome became clear Sunday night, the picture is not all rosy. The results showed a deeply divided country, with one-third of voters choosing a far-right demagogue, and many others choosing to abstain or vote blank in unprecedented numbers to show their dislike for both candidates.

In his first speech as president Sunday night, Emmanuel Macron said he had heard the “anger” and the “fears” of some of his compatriots, and promised that he would work to be an inclusive president. He knows these marginalized voters consider him the candidate of globalization, and he must prove to them that he can be their president.

NPR Attempts To Undermine WikiLeaks’ Credibility With Deliberate, Brazen Lie

As if we needed another reason to want the legacy media to die screaming all alone in an ill-reputed nursing home, National Public Radio has just added one more to the planet-sized pile. NPR, which just Wednesday released an anti-WikiLeaks attack editorial disguised as a movie review, has made a deliberate attempt to tarnish WikiLeaks’ 100% perfect record of authentic and accurately-vetted releases by going out of its way to report that the publishing organization had posted nine gigabytes of partially inauthentic documents.

In reality, WikiLeaks did not post 9 gigabytes of anything, but only tweeted a link to a pre-existing cache of documents allegedly from French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron on a site that very plainly does not have the WikiLeaks URL, with a very clear disclaimer that it didn’t know who was responsible for posting them.

Alleged multi-GB team Macron email archives. Could be a 4chan practical joke. We are examining https://t.co/wLemQiYHT2

— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) May 5, 2017

Obviously, there is a massive difference between the notorious transparency advocacy site wikileaks.org and the things that its Twitter account tweets about; attributing the 9 gigabytes of documents to WikiLeaks just because the organization’s social media account made a tweet about them is like attributing the authorship of a Guardian article to J.K. Rowling just because she shared it on Twitter.

After keeping its deliberately deceitful headline on the internet for hours, influencing god knows how many of its seven million followers on Twitter and god knows how many others who viewed it elsewhere, the Maddow muppets behind NPR’s Twitter account thanked WikiLeaks for “clarifying”, and said they’d corrected the “implication”.

@NPR That's "retraction" or "correction" NPR--not "clarification"--and normally followed by an apology for misleading 7M people.

"A Scandal": After FCC Bent Rules, Right-Wing Sinclair Network to Grow Even Bigger

Creating the nation's largest local TV station conglomerate—and raising the frightening prospect of a network that would rival Fox News—conservative Sinclair Broadcast Group announced Monday it will buy Tribune Media for $3.9 billion. ...

[T]he FCC recently voted to reinstate a technical loophole called the UHF discount, thereby allowing broadcast companies to exceed the limit on how much of a nationwide audience they can reach. At the time, Jessica J. González, Free Press deputy director and senior counsel, said the decision was favorable for Sinclair and other big broadcasters, and as the New York Times reported Monday, "[t]he change effectively lowered Sinclair's coverage of American households to about 25 percent, from a current limit of 39 percent, freeing it to pursue acquisitions."

Now, if the merger is approved, 42 Tribune stations would be added to the Sinclair empire of 173 TV stations, many of which are affiliates of ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and the CW. As the LA Times wrote, the deal "would give Sinclair a presence in the top three TV markets, with KTLA in Los Angeles, WPIX in New York, and WGN in Chicago." Sinclair would also gain Tribune's ownership stakes in the Food Network and CareerBuilder. 

The Baltimore Sun reports that the merger would give Sinclair ownership or control of TV stations in 72 percent of the United States. 

Exclusive: Meet the Arkansas Judge Who Faces Impeachment for Protesting Against the Death Penalty

Police officer charged with murder for shooting 15-year-old Texas boy

Roy Oliver, the police officer who shot and killed 15-year-old Jordan Edwards in a Dallas suburb last Saturday night, is now a wanted man. The Dallas County Sheriff’s Department charged Oliver with murder Friday evening, and issued a warrant for his arrest.

“The warrant was issued due to evidence that suggested Mr. Oliver intended to cause serious bodily injury and commit an act clearly dangerous to human life that caused the death of an individual,” said sheriff’s office spokesperson Melinda Urbina in a statement.

Edwards, who was black, was leaving a house party Saturday evening when Oliver, who is white, opened fire at the car he was riding in. Edwards’ brother was also in the car, sitting only feet from where he was shot.

Oliver, who was then a patrol officer with the Balch Springs Police Department — a 200-strong force for a town about 15 miles outside of Dallas — was one of a number of officers sent to investigate reports of underage drinking at the house party, according to a statement by the Balch Springs police.

Trump travel ban: federal appeals court hears arguments in crucial next stage

The crucial next stage in the legal battle over Donald Trump’s attempt to ban entry to the US from several Muslim-majority countries will begin on Monday, when a federal appeals court in Virginia will hear arguments in the case.

In March, Trump issued a revised order that sought to temporarily halt new visas from six Muslim-majority countries and suspend refugee admissions. It was blocked by federal courts in Maryland and Hawaii. The streamlined order followed Trump’s first attempt to implement a travel ban, issued days after he was sworn into office, that was chaotically rolled out and quickly blocked by federal courts around the country.

The Trump administration is appealing the rulings against the March order in two appeals circuits, and the president has vowed to take the case to the supreme court should a decision in either venue go against him.

Central to both of these cases are public remarks made by Trump and members of his administration during the 2016 election and after his victory, which lawyers argue demonstrate the travel ban is designed to explicitly target Muslims and therefore violates the religious protection provisions of the US constitution. The administration argues the ban is justified on national security grounds.

Monday’s hearing in Virginia, before the fourth circuit of appeals, will occur in front of all 15 serving judges on the court, underlining the exceptional nature of the case. So-called en-banc hearings are extremely rare at the initial stage of a case and, according to professor Carl Tobias at the University of Richmond’s school of law, this could mean it takes longer for a ruling to be delivered.

Life expectancy gap between rich and poor US regions is 'more than 20 years'

Your average life expectancy now varies by more than 20 years depending on where you live in the United States, according to an in-depth study by the University of Washington. America’s “life expectancy gap” is also predicted to grow even wider in future, with 11.5% of US counties having experienced an increase in the risk of death for residents aged 25–45 over the period studied (1980-2014). No previous study has put the disparity at even close to 20 years.

“This is way worse than any of us had assumed,” said Ali Mokdad, professor of global health at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and one of the authors of the study, published by the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

The researchers found that while residents of certain affluent counties in central Colorado had the highest life expectancy at 87 years, people in several counties of North and South Dakota, typically those with Native American reservations, could expect to die far younger, at only 66.

“The magnitude of these disparities demands action, all the more urgently because inequalities will only increase further if recent trends are allowed to continue uncontested,” the report states.

Warren Buffett condemns Trumpcare at the annual “Woodstock of Capitalism”

Speaking to nearly 30,000 of his Berkshire Hathaway shareholders Saturday, the second-richest person in the world didn’t mince words about Republicans’ second attempt at repealing and replacing Obamacare. “It is a huge tax cut for guys like me,” Warren Buffett said at the 52nd annual event known as the “Woodstock of Capitalism.” “And when there’s a tax cut, either the deficit goes up or they get the taxes from somebody else.”

While Buffett acknowledged that tax cuts would benefit his shareholders — although not all of them — he also called medical costs “the tapeworm of American economic competitiveness.”

‘That is a problem this society is having trouble with and is going to have more trouble with,” added Buffett, who’s previously funded Republican candidates but threw his support behind Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton last year.

Here is what legislation on healthcare access in the US is all about now - cynical ploys to raise cash and voter angst for 2 competing influence-peddling organizations. The feeding frenzy is so large that even the great monster of the Democrat party emerged from the woods to feed.

Democrats have raised millions in the hours since the House passed Trumpcare

Phones down, wallets out.

That was the credo of Democratic “resistance” activists Thursday following the narrow passage of Trumpcare in the House of Representatives despite hundreds of thousands of phone calls and angry town halls denouncing the health care bill. In less than 24 hours, Democrats raised at least $4 million for campaigns and groups challenging Republicans in the 2018 midterms, according to a VICE News analysis of various progressive groups.

ActBlue, the fundraising platform used by most progressive groups and the Democratic Party, recorded $4,223,401 in donations Thursday from 123,145 contributors spread across 1,200 different campaigns, organizations, and funds. The DNC said it had its strongest fundraising day since March, and MoveOn.org’s Washington director, Ben Wikler, told VICE News that the fundraising text message sent immediately after the vote was its most successful ever, pulling in over $40,000 (and counting).

At least $2 million went directly to Democratic campaigns challenging Republicans in the House through ActBlue’s “nominee funds,” which save the money for whoever the Democratic nominee ends up being next year. DailyKos, Swing Left, and ActBlue all set up nominee fund accounts yesterday that quickly raised hundreds of thousands of dollars each. Hillary Clinton, who is expected to launch a political PAC next week, also promoted Swing Left’s efforts on Twitter:

An interesting essay. Here's a taste:

The meaning of life in a world without work

Most jobs that exist today might disappear within decades. As artificial intelligence outperforms humans in more and more tasks, it will replace humans in more and more jobs. Many new professions are likely to appear: virtual-world designers, for example. But such professions will probably require more creativity and flexibility, and it is unclear whether 40-year-old unemployed taxi drivers or insurance agents will be able to reinvent themselves as virtual-world designers (try to imagine a virtual world created by an insurance agent!). And even if the ex-insurance agent somehow makes the transition into a virtual-world designer, the pace of progress is such that within another decade he might have to reinvent himself yet again.

The crucial problem isn’t creating new jobs. The crucial problem is creating new jobs that humans perform better than algorithms. Consequently, by 2050 a new class of people might emerge – the useless class. People who are not just unemployed, but unemployable.

The same technology that renders humans useless might also make it feasible to feed and support the unemployable masses through some scheme of universal basic income. The real problem will then be to keep the masses occupied and content. People must engage in purposeful activities, or they go crazy. So what will the useless class do all day?

One answer might be computer games. Economically redundant people might spend increasing amounts of time within 3D virtual reality worlds, which would provide them with far more excitement and emotional engagement than the “real world” outside. This, in fact, is a very old solution. For thousands of years, billions of people have found meaning in playing virtual reality games. In the past, we have called these virtual reality games “religions”.

What is a religion if not a big virtual reality game played by millions of people together? Religions like Islam and Christianity invent imaginary laws, such as “don’t eat pork”, “repeat the same prayers a set number of times each day”, “don’t have sex with somebody from your own gender”, and so forth. These laws exist only in the human imagination. No natural law requires the repetition of magical formulas and no natural law forbids homosexuality or eating pork. Muslims and Christians go through life trying to gain points in their favorite virtual reality game. If you pray every day, you get points. If you forget to pray, you lose points. If by the end of your life you gain enough points, then after you die you go to the next level of the game (aka Heaven).

Oklahoma Governor Signs Anti-Protest Law Imposing Huge Fines on “Conspirator” Organizations

A statute aimed at at suppressing protests against oil and gas pipelines has been signed into law in Oklahoma, as a related bill advances through the state legislature. The two bills are part of a nationwide trend in anti-protest laws meant to significantly increase legal penalties for civil disobedience. The Oklahoma law signed this week is unique, however, in its broad targeting of groups “conspiring” with protesters accused of trespassing. It takes aim at environmental organizations Republicans have blamed for anti-pipeline protests that have become costly for local governments.

The statute Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin approved Wednesday was rushed into immediate effect under a provision that declared the situation “an emergency.” It will dramatically increase penalties against protesters who trespass on property containing a “critical infrastructure facility.” Under the newly signed trespassing law individuals will face a felony and a minimum $10,000 fine if a court determines they entered property intending to damage, vandalize, deface, “impede or inhibit operations of the facility.” Should the trespasser actually succeed in “tampering” with the infrastructure, they face a $100,000 fine or 10 years of imprisonment.

Significantly, the statute also implicates any organization “found to be a conspirator” with the trespasser, threatening collaborator groups with a fine “ten times” that imposed on the intruder — as much as $1 million in cases involving damage.

Road to Trump's Climate Change Hell Paved by Obama and Clinton

How to fix climate change: put cities, not countries, in charge

The best-case scenario for what is likely to be done through nation-based environmental programmes hardly dents the worst-case scenario for the catastrophic consequences of all that is not being done. However, there is an ample menu of sustainable options available to cities wishing to address climate change aggressively – and they can amplify their impact by coordinating their policies. The list includes divestment of public funds from carbon energy companies; investment to encourage renewable energy and green infrastructure; municipal carbon taxes; fracking and drilling bans; new waste incineration technologies; regulation of the use of plastic bottles and bags; policies to improve public transport and reduce car use; and recycling.

Oslo has been in the forefront of sustainable urban development. With Norway’s energy needs almost completely met by hydroelectric power, and its lion’s share of North Sea oil and gas going almost entirely to exports, almost all of the income goes to Norway’s massive sovereign wealth fund. Oslo has thus had the luxury of pursuing a zero-emission campaign, and appears likely to achieve that goal by 2025. ...

Asia also has exemplary green-leaning cities, including Hong Kong and Seoul. The greater Seoul region has a population of almost 25 million, and in 2015 it was ranked the continent’s most sustainable city. Seoul has made a massive investment in electric-powered buses. It already has the world’s third largest subway system, but its carbon fuel bus fleet of 120,000 vehicles has been a massive source of pollution. Current plans are to convert half this fleet to electric by 2020, which would be the world’s most ambitious achievement of this kind.

Such approaches can be undertaken to great effect one city at a time, but they are also mutually reinforcing: networks of collaborating cities can amplify their global impact. They can also make it more difficult for courts or governments to oppose environmental initiatives, standing firm on common approaches to sustainability and decarbonisation. The challenge facing cities and citizens is to summon the necessary political will to do the things we know how to do – but have not done – and then to do them democratically. That will not be easy because democracy is in trouble, because moneyed interests and global oligarchies are corrupting government. But the fate of the campaign against climate change and other existential threats depends on democratic politics within and among cities.

Ahead of Pivotal Climate Talks, Urgent 'Wake Up' Call to Target Trump Hotel

Putting a fine point on the demand that President Donald Trump finally "wake up" to the climate crisis, hundreds of protesters are preparing to flood the lobby of his Washington, D.C. hotel in a pre-dawn action on Tuesday.

To draw attention to the urgency of the moment, the Peoples Climate Movement said that "a startlingly loud alarm clock will be rung to wake up hotel guests." While not greeting the president himself, the early morning action might be enough to deter some of his patrons from returning to the Trump family business.

Campaigners will then march to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), where Trump is scheduled to meet with EPA administer Scott Pruitt, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Ivanka Trump, and others to discuss whether or not he will pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement.

Such a move, organizers say, "would be dangerous, detrimental, and downright irresponsible."

Demonstrators say they will try to block the building's entrance as they amplify the demand that Trump commit to "staying in the Paris Agreement, fully commit to implementing the Clean Power Plan, and go even further in terms of action to address climate to curb global warming."
