Excerpt:
"Exactly so," says Marisela Espinal, a drug education specialist and executive
of Narconon Mexico, a drug rehabilitation center based north of Mexico City.
"That is why we are here now in Juarez. We are getting an estimate of what we
ourselves can do to help these children and their teachers and parents." Espinal
reports that Narconon Mexico and the international office in Los Angeles hope
soon to start delivering substantive drug education in Juarez and elsewhere
along the border. "Help the children. That's the way to go."

Dear Mr. Grieboski:
I have webbed the statement of Professor Alexander Dvorkin made at the recent
forum you and he attended at Rhodes, Greece. Dr. Dvorkin, who devoted part of
his time to responding to a statement made by you, cites to and challenges you
about the Gerry Armstrong case. I am that Armstrong, and I also challenge you
and your organization about my case.

Moscow Church of Scientology Wins Landmark Decision for Religious Freedom in the
European Court of Human Rights
By William C. Wash
The European Court of Human Rights issued a unanimous landmark decision on 5th
April 2007 in favor of the Scientology religion, upholding the religious freedom
of Scientologists and their religious associations throughout the forty-six
nations that have signed and ratified the European Convention for the Protection
of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), adopted by the Council of
Europe in 1950. By ruling in favor of the Church of Scientology, the Court
reaffirmed an important issue that the Russian Federation has committed itself
to uphold, namely the right to religious freedom for not only Scientologists but
members of all religions throughout Europe.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_Awareness_Network
Excerpt:
The "New CAN" organization (also known as the Foundation FOR Religious Freedom)
has caused both confusion and controversy among academics and its opponents.
Board members of the "Old CAN" have characterized it as a front group for the
Church of Scientology.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_From_Religion_Foundation
Excerpt:
The Freedom FROM Religion Foundation (FFRF) is an American freethought
organization based in Madison, Wisconsin. Its purposes, as stated in its bylaws,
are to promote the separation of church and state and to educate the public on
matters relating to atheism, agnosticism and nontheism. The FFRF publishes the
newspaper Freethought Today. The organization pursues public-interest lawsuits
and engages in public debates to further its goals. Since 2006, the Foundation
has produced the Freethought Radio show, currently the only national freethought
radio broadcast in the United States.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Behar
Excerpt:
In 1991, he wrote "The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power", a Time cover story on Scientology.[1] The acclaimed article won several awards.[2] The Church of Scientology brought several lawsuits over the article, all of which were eventually dismissed.[2] While investigating the story, he experienced some of Scientology's Fair Game tactics:
I later learned, a copy of my personal credit report -- with detailed information about my bank accounts, home mortgage, credit-card payments, home address and Social Security number -- had been illegally retrieved from a national credit bureau called Trans Union. The sham company that received it, "Educational Funding Services" of Los Angeles, gave as its address a mail drop a few blocks from Scientology's headquarters. The owner of the mail drop is a private eye named Fred Wolfson, who admits that an Ingram associate retained him to retrieve credit reports on several individuals. Wolfson says he was told that Scientology's attorneys "had judgments against these people and were trying to collect on them." He says now, "These are vicious people. These are vipers."

We are Anonymous, a collective organization whose purpose is to bring upon
freedom for all individuals, no matter their race, religion, gender, or creed.
We believe all human beings deserve the same rights and respect, with no
individual gaining precedence over another.
The media portray us as hackers, cyber-terrorists, anarchists, and teenagers
with nothing better to do but to cause disruption to everyday life of the
general public. This is a fallacy. Anonymous is an organization with no leader,
comprised entirely of individuals that decide to call themselves Anonymous. I am
Anonymous. Your mother is Anonymous. Your father is Anonymous. Your siblings are
Anonymous. Your neighbor is Anonymous. You can be Anonymous. We are students,
lawyers, doctors, programmers, teachers, fast-food workers, retail workers, and
even government employees. Each of us has a different belief system, a different
religion, a different moral system. The one thing that unites us is the belief
that all humans deserve to be treated fairly and under no circumstances should
they be hindered from the acquisition of knowledge. As such, not all Anonymous
participate in all operations. The members of Anonymous vote yes or no by either
supporting the operation, or simply declining to help. The media commonly makes
notice of the unfortunate casualties of our operations in the name of the
freedom of the community. To cause displeasure to the public is not our mission,
nor are random acts of cyber-terrorism. We are peaceful political activists. We
do not support violence, we do not support criminality. In our history, we have
banded together and helped the FBI and other proper authorities capture
criminals such as animal abusers, child pornographers, and other miscellaneous
criminals.
We are Anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.

We are Anonymous, a collective organization whose purpose is to bring upon
freedom for all individuals, no matter their race, religion, gender, or creed.
We believe all human beings deserve the same rights and respect, with no
individual gaining precedence over another.
The media portray us as hackers, cyber-terrorists, anarchists, and teenagers
with nothing better to do but to cause disruption to everyday life of the
general public. This is a fallacy. Anonymous is an organization with no leader,
comprised entirely of individuals that decide to call themselves Anonymous. I am
Anonymous. Your mother is Anonymous. Your father is Anonymous. Your siblings are
Anonymous. Your neighbor is Anonymous. You can be Anonymous. We are students,
lawyers, doctors, programmers, teachers, fast-food workers, retail workers, and
even government employees. Each of us has a different belief system, a different
religion, a different moral system. The one thing that unites us is the belief
that all humans deserve to be treated fairly and under no circumstances should
they be hindered from the acquisition of knowledge. As such, not all Anonymous
participate in all operations. The members of Anonymous vote yes or no by either
supporting the operation, or simply declining to help. The media commonly makes
notice of the unfortunate casualties of our operations in the name of the
freedom of the community. To cause displeasure to the public is not our mission,
nor are random acts of cyber-terrorism. We are peaceful political activists. We
do not support violence, we do not support criminality. In our history, we have
banded together and helped the FBI and other proper authorities capture
criminals such as animal abusers, child pornographers, and other miscellaneous
criminals.

City Bike Plan Is Accused of a Neighborhood BiasBy DAVID LEPESKA
Published: October 15, 2011
Mayor Rahm Emanuel plans to spend nearly $150 million to make Chicago “the bike-friendliest city” in the United States. That challenge is considerable, given Chicago’s slow start compared with Portland, Ore., and other bike-centered cities, and Mr. Emanuel’s initial plan is drawing complaints about an inequitable distribution of the investment.

The REAL ID Act of 2005 was a bill that set federal standards for U.S. state drivers' licenses and identification cards, barring federal agencies from accepting state IDs and licenses that do not comply with the Act. It was introduced and passed by the House in 2005 (during the 109th Congress), and later approved by both the House and Senate as part of a larger appropriations bill. To comply with the Act, states would have to adjust the documentation that they accept for issuing drivers' licenses and IDs, including verifying lawful presence in the country. They would also have to maintain databases of driver information, including copies of the documentation submitted by state residents, and make that information available nationwide.

Excerpt:
Operation Freakout, also known as Operation PC Freakout, was a Church of Scientology covert plan intended to have the US author and journalist Paulette Cooper imprisoned or committed to a mental institution. The plan, undertaken in 1976 following years of Church-initiated lawsuits and covert harassment, was meant to eliminate the perceived threat that Cooper posed to the Church and obtain revenge for her publication in 1971 of a highly critical book, The Scandal of Scientology. The Federal Bureau of Investigation discovered documentary evidence of the plot and the preceding campaign of harassment during an investigation into the Church of Scientology in 1977, eventually leading to the Church compensating Cooper in an out-of-court settlement.

Excerpt:
Operation Snow White was the Church of Scientology's name for a conspiracy during the 1970s to purge unfavorable records about Scientology and its founder L. Ron Hubbard. This project included a series of infiltrations and thefts from 136 government agencies, foreign embassies and consulates, as well as private organizations critical of Scientology, carried out by Church members, in more than 30 countries;[1] the single largest infiltration of the United States government in history[2] with up to 5,000 covert agents.[3] This was also the operation that exposed 'Operation Freakout', because this was the case that initiated the US government investigation of the Church
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Freakout
Excerpt:
Operation Freakout, also known as Operation PC Freakout, was a Church of Scientology covert plan intended to have the US author and journalist Paulette Cooper imprisoned or committed to a mental institution. The plan, undertaken in 1976 following years of Church-initiated lawsuits and covert harassment, was meant to eliminate the perceived threat that Cooper posed to the Church and obtain revenge for her publication in 1971 of a highly critical book, The Scandal of Scientology. The Federal Bureau of Investigation discovered documentary evidence of the plot and the preceding campaign of harassment during an investigation into the Church of Scientology in 1977, eventually leading to the Church compensating Cooper in an out-of-court settlement.

Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes and his new symbol of corporate synergy, star journalist Fareed Zakaria, are more than friendly fellow travelers of elite circles that stretch from the Yale trustee board to the Council on Foreign Relations.
According to a senior company executive close to both, Bewkes and HBO co-president Richard Plepler once sought Zakaria's help in investing in a hedge fund founded by the journalist’s brother, Arshad (pictured, left).
Little more is known about the investment. Sternly declining to trouble Bewkes with questions about the investment, a Time Warner spokesman described it as strictly private.
"That's an inappropriate question and none of his business," Plepler, who was traveling in Italy over the weekend, replied to an emailed query about the investment.
Bewkes was instrumental in bringing Fareed Zakaria to Time Warner's CNN two years ago to headline "Fareed Zakaria GPS," a Sunday news talk show. And the Time Warner CEO and Plepler played pivotal roles last week in expanding the journalist's presence across the media company, including writing for Time magazine and consulting on HBO documentaries.
Arshad Zakaria is CEO of New Vernon Capital, an asset management firm he founded in 2004. The New Jersey-based firm, which reportedly manages $3 billion in assets, runs private equity and hedge funds that focus on emerging markets, particularly India. The 48-year-old was a rising Wall Street star and 16-year Merrill Lynch veteran until he fell victim to a bout of corporate political intrigue at the firm in 2003.

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Dempsey Told Israelis US Won't Join Their War on Iran
Thursday 2 February 2012
by: Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service | Report

Washington - Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey told Israeli leaders Jan. 20 that the United States would not participate in a war against Iran begun by Israel without prior agreement from Washington, according to accounts from well-placed senior military officers.
Dempsey's warning, conveyed to both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak, represents the strongest move yet by President Barack Obama to deter an Israeli attack and ensure that the United States is not caught up in a regional conflagration with Iran.
But the Israeli government remains defiant about maintaining its freedom of action to make war on Iran, and it is counting on the influence of right-wing extremist views in U.S. politics to bring pressure to bear on Obama to fall into line with a possible Israeli attack during the election campaign this fall.
Obama still appears reluctant to break publicly and explicitly with Israel over its threat of military aggression against Iran, even in the absence of evidence Iran has decided to build a nuclear weapon.
Dempsey's trip was highly unusual, in that there was neither a press conference by the chairman nor any public statement by either side about the substance of his meetings with Israeli leaders. Even more remarkable, no leak about what he said to the Israelis has appeared in either U.S. or Israeli news media, indicating that both sides have regarded what Dempsey said as extremely sensitive.
The substance of Dempsey's warning to the Israelis has become known, however, to active and retired senior flag officers with connections to the JCS, according to a military source who got it from those officers.
A spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Commander Patrick McNally, offered no comment Wednesday when IPS asked him about the above account of Dempsey's warning to the Israelis.
The message carried by Dempsey was the first explicit statement to the Netanyahu government that the United States would not defend Israel if it attacked Iran unilaterally. But Defence Secretary Leon Panetta had given a clear hint in an interview on "Face the Nation" Jan. 8 that the Obama administration would not help defend Israel in a war against Iran that Israel had initiated.
Asked how the United States would react if Israel were to launch a unilateral attack on Iran, Panetta first emphasised the need for a coordinated policy toward Iran with Israel. But when host Bob Schieffer repeated the question, Panetta said, "If the Israelis made that decision, we would have to be prepared to protect our forces in that situation. And that's what we'd be concerned about."
Defence Minister Barak had sought to dampen media speculation before Dempsey's arrival that the chairman was coming to put pressure on Israel over its threat to attack Iran, but then proceeded to reiterate the Netanyahu-Barak position that they cannot give up their responsibility for the security of Israel "for anyone, including our American friends".
There has been no evidence since the Dempsey visit of any change in the Netanyahu government's insistence on maintaining its freedom of action to attack Iran.
Dempsey's meetings with Netanyahu and Barak also failed to resolve the issue of the joint U.S.-Israeli military exercise geared to a missile attack, "Austere Challenge '12", which had been scheduled for April 2012 but had been postponed abruptly a few days before his arrival in Israel.
More than two weeks after Dempsey's meeting with Barak, the spokesman for the Pentagon, John Kirby, told IPS, "All I can say is that the exercise will be held later this year." That indicated that there has been no major change in the status of U.S.-Israeli discussions of the issue since the postponement of the exercise was leaked Jan. 15.
The postponement has been the subject of conflicting and unconvincing explanations from the Israeli side, suggesting disarray in the Netanyahu government over how to handle the issue.
To add to the confusion, Israeli and U.S. statements left it unclear whether the decision had been unilateral or joint as well as the reasons for the decision.
Panetta asserted in a news conference Jan. 18 that Barak himself had asked him to postpone the exercise.
It now clear that both sides had an interest in postponing the exercise and very possibly letting it expire by failing to reach a decision on it.
The Israelis appear to have two distinct reasons for putting the exercise off, which reflect differences between the interests of Netanyahu and his defence minister.
Netanyahu's primary interest in relation to the exercise was evidently to give the Republican candidate ammunition to fire at Obama during the fall campaign by insinuating that the postponement was decided at the behest of Obama to reduce tensions with Iran.
Thus Mark Regev, Netanyahu's spokesman, explained it as a "joint" decision with the United States, adding, "The thinking was it was not the right timing now to conduct such an exercise."
Barak, however, had an entirely different concern, which was related to the Israeli Defence Forces' readiness to carry out an operation that would involve both attacking Iran's nuclear facilities and minimising the Iranian retaliatory response.
A former U.S. intelligence analyst who followed the Israeli military closely told IPS he strongly suspects that the IDF has pressed Barak to insist that the Israeli force be at the peak of readiness if and when they are asked to attack Iran.
The analyst, who insisted on anonymity because of his continuing contacts with U.S. military and intelligence personnel, said the 2006 Lebanon War debacle continues to haunt the thinking of IDF leaders. In that war, it became clear that the IDF had not been ready to handle Hezbollah rocket attacks adequately, and the prestige of the Israeli military suffered a serious blow.
The insistence of IDF leaders that they never go to war before being fully prepared is a primary consideration for Barak, according to the analyst. "Austere Challenge '12" would inevitably involve a major consumption of military resources, he observes, which would reduce Israeli readiness for war in the short run.
The concern about a major military exercise actually reducing the IDF's readiness for war against Iran would explain why senior Israeli military officials were reported to have suggested that the reasons for the postponement were mostly "technical and logistical".
The Israeli military concern about expending scarce resources on the exercise would apply, of course, regardless of whether the exercise was planned for April or late 2012. That fact would help explain why the exercise has not been rescheduled, despite statements from the U.S. side that it will be.
The U.S. military, however, has its own reasons for being unenthusiastic about the exercise. IPS has learned from a knowledgeable source that, well before the Obama administration began distancing itself from Israel's Iran policy, U.S. Central Command chief James N. Mattis had expressed concern about the implications of an exercise so obviously based on a scenario involving Iranian retaliation for an Israeli attack.
U.S. officials have been quoted as suspecting that the Israeli request for a postponement of the exercise indicated that Israel wanted to leave its options open for conducting a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in the spring. But a postponement to the fall would not change that problem.
For that reason, the former U.S. intelligence analyst told IPS he doubts that "Austere Challenge '12" will ever be carried out.
But the White House has an obvious political interest in using the military exercise to demonstrate that the Obama administration has increased military cooperation with Israel to an unprecedented level.
The Defence Department wants the exercise to be held in October, according to the military source in touch with senior flag officers connected to the Joint Chiefs.

The U.S. military, however, has its own reasons for being unenthusiastic about the exercise. IPS has learned from a knowledgeable source that, well before the Obama administration began distancing itself from Israel's Iran policy, U.S. Central Command chief James N. Mattis had expressed concern about the implications of an exercise so obviously based on a scenario involving Iranian retaliation for an Israeli attack.
U.S. officials have been quoted as suspecting that the Israeli request for a postponement of the exercise indicated that Israel wanted to leave its options open for conducting a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in the spring. But a postponement to the fall would not change that problem.
For that reason, the former U.S. intelligence analyst told IPS he doubts that "Austere Challenge '12" will ever be carried out.
But the White House has an obvious political interest in using the military exercise to demonstrate that the Obama administration has increased military cooperation with Israel to an unprecedented level.
The Defence Department wants the exercise to be held in October, according to the military source in touch with senior flag officers connected to the Joint Chiefs.

A generation's trying (bombs and crack)
Oh, how we're dying

Will you let them be? (Help the children)
Will you help the children live to see... (Help the children)
A better day is coming (we need love)
To keep our lives going
Life is here and then it's gone
And what seems right can be oh-so wrong
Let's protect, and not molest...a young girl
And help them live to see...this world
Clearly, as it is
And pray for the mother with kids (kids)
Who's lost control, but not her soul
Many kids will die before they're 20 years old
Will you let them be? (Help our children)

Pops (pops) where in the world have you gone
I see Momma (momma) by the telephone
Waiting (waiting) but you don't call
Tears on her face and I see them fall
It hurts (hurts) but will go on
You're just another brother who's left his home
And family (family), yeah we cry,
Momma says she love you and I don't even know why (why why why)
Will you let them be? (Why? Help them. Help our children)

Money and death, the lie, the truth
A dime bag of crack, the end of you
Black and white, a constant fight
Years and years, and day and night
There was a right, I've got to stand
To make a better way for a young black man
In a land (a land) where the people smile
Been holding me back for such a long while (while, while, wow, while)

When I see (see) a man who's old
A woman who's grey, it touches my soul
Because I know (know) they paved the way
So we could be here and live this way

Excerpt:
Occupy Must Learn From SundanceBy Naomi Wolf, Guardian UK
01 February 12
So, late last year, I said - to some controversy here - that the violent
crackdown against the Occupy movement in the United States represented the first
salvos of a civil war initiated by political and allied economic elites against
protesters in a nascent movement whose still-not-fully articulated agenda would
represent a threat to their unmediated and untransparent hold on profits. And a
civil war it has indeed turned out to be.
Over the weekend, 2,000 citizens marched in support of Occupy Oakland - and were
met by flash grenades and, some witnesses assert, rubber bullets. The Los
Angeles Police Department is engaging in training exercises with the US
military. At a parallel march in support, in New York City, a new apparition -
large groups of masked men - joined the protesters, which is, globally, a sign
that provocateurs intent on violence have joined the scene; and journalist Tim
Pool was assaulted.
And reports continue to surface around the nation, most recently from Atlanta,
of heightened local law enforcement investment in military-style hardware to use
against domestic dissent. Predictably enough, after the NDAA created a clause
allowing for the indefinite detention of domestic terrorists, Oakland council
member referred to the Occupy protesters as "domestic terrorists".
In the midst of this escalation, some important lessons have emerged -from, of
all places, the glittery and snowy Sundance film festival in Park City, Utah. I
was there to appear on a panel titled "Loving the Masses", and in the course of
my visit, had the chance to see some of the riveting and important documentaries
about grassroots protest movements that distinguished this year's offerings:
these included the powerful Never Sorry, about the Chinese artist and dissident
Ai Weiwei, directed by novice 27-year-old filmmaker Alison Klayman; Half
Revolution, presenting edge-of-your-seat reportage from the front lines of
Cairo's revolution, by young Palestinian-Danish director Omar Shargawi and
Egyptian-American director Karim el-Hakim; David France's compelling How to
Survive a Plague, about Act Up's rise and fall; the historically significant A
Fierce Green Fire, detailing 30 years of the environmental movement, by Mark
Kitchell; and the truly infuriating doc about how US corporations cycle their
profits out of the country, hiding them routinely in offshore accounts or in
their Irish subsidiaries, so as to avoid paying any US taxes whatsoever - and
doing so in collusion with their hired hands in Congress - We're Not Broke, by
Karin Hayes and Victoria Bruce. The news is bittersweet and the lessons are
timely.
One thing that emerges from watching these documentaries, in aggregate, is that
this narrative is global. As the power of global corporations transcends the
political power of nation states, global corporations are simply rewriting
legislation in advanced democracies behind closed doors, and leaving the people
- of Greece or the UK, America or Italy - out of the decision-making process
altogether; then presenting the need for cutbacks as a fait accompli. It is this
lack of financial transparency and accountability that Occupy's movement
threatens, and there are truly billions of dollars - in untaxed US profits alone
- at stake if they become successful.
Also apparent from these films is that the crackdowns against dissent are now
globally coordinated: Acta, which allows corporations to block access to certain
sites online, was signed recently by a series of governments. In Half a
Revolution, Cairenes hold up bullets and tear gas canisters marked "Made in
America". As Twitter and Facebook became global routes for "revolutionary"
sentiment used by dissidents such as Ai Weiwei - who documented, via Twitter,
footage of his being beaten by secret police in a hotel room, as well as
tweeting his brain scan images that showed proof of the damage done by the
beating - and as Facebook drove the protests in Tahrir Square, both social media
have both recently announced policies that limit their usefulness as tools for
organizing, that weaken privacy protections, and that can help to put in
jeopardy dissidents who run afoul of local censors.
On the organizing side, the lessons are profound from these documentaries, as
well. It was heartbreaking to sit on the panel watching clips from A Fierce
Green Fire and How to Survive a Plague and see that most of the forms of
effective peaceful protest used by these successful movements are now illegal,
or else extremely dangerous. Lois Gibbs, a citizen leader in the Love Canal
pollution scandal, spoke of holding government officials hostage until the
groups' demands were met. Well, these days, that would get you ID'ed as a
"domestic terrorist" and shipped to abusive detention.
Act Up successfully put a condom around Senator Jesse Helms' house, blocked
access to the FDA, and showed up to disrupt meetings about drug trials that had
been held in secret. Especially affecting to me was how long they were given to
make their points before being silenced - and how they faced brief arrest
processes, at most, but no violence. Act up was, of course, successful and their
activism on fast-tracking Aids drugs has saved millions of lives.
Important lessons also emerged, especially from Act Up. Occupy - a movement I
love and respect, and which represents our last best hope -also fills me with
distress because of how difficult it is for a movement committed to "no
spokespeople" to get their message out. Act Up, which was founded by a group
that included people who worked in the media and in advertising, were not so
self-hobbled: they created a memorable "brand" (the pink triangle) and coined a
powerful soundbite ("silence equals death"); and activists accepted media
training from a member who was also a news anchor. They were "on message" -
labeling the Catholic Church, for instance, "murderers" when it opposed condom
use. And it was effective, so the word "murderer" was repeated in dozens of
voices and entered the news stream. The Church lost that round; the soundbite
won the day.
Also clear was that Act Up did not get bogged down in consensus decision-making
- which has derailed every single group I have ever studied that has committed
to it - and went with a clear agenda voted on by majority rule. (They also
appeared, from footage of meetings, to have been following Robert's Rules of
Order.) Most importantly, they worked what every successful grassroots movement
needs to create: an outside, disruptive pressure strategy, and a
talk-to-and-negotiate-with-the-decision-makers-under-pressure "inside" arm,
creating a pincer movement. So Act Up protesters would disrupt drug trials
outside the FDA or a private drug company building, or occupy St Vincent's
Hospital. Then, after the disruption had smoked out the leadership of the
institution under fire, a few designated Act Up representatives would make
themselves available to present their clear demands to those in power in those
institutions and negotiate outcomes, with more protest and disruption implied if
demands were not met.
Again and again, How to Survive a Plague shows that this tactic is effective.
Right now, though, the Occupy movement has an ideological reluctance to creating
both arms of the pincer. Many see it as "contaminating", in the words of one
young activist, to even talk to the decision-makers they are protesting against,
or to deal with the mainstream media. I would argue - as I did at Sundance -
that the house is burning and we do not have time for this preciousness. The
evidence from the French documentary, as well as from the Tahrir Square footage,
is that the images in the news media let the world be a witness and, to some
extent, protect protesters. But without journalists present, Syria is free to
mow down citizens without intereference. That shows that disorganization and a
policy of shunning media communication equals political death
Media exposure, a clear message, smart soundbites, clearly stated demands, and,
most importantly, tasked, empowered negotiators working on the inside in concert
with mass disrupters applying pressure from without - this equals political
life.

Occupy Must Learn From SundanceBy Naomi Wolf, Guardian UK
01 February 12
So, late last year, I said - to some controversy here - that the violent
crackdown against the Occupy movement in the United States represented the first
salvos of a civil war initiated by political and allied economic elites against
protesters in a nascent movement whose still-not-fully articulated agenda would
represent a threat to their unmediated and untransparent hold on profits. And a
civil war it has indeed turned out to be.
Over the weekend, 2,000 citizens marched in support of Occupy Oakland - and were
met by flash grenades and, some witnesses assert, rubber bullets. The Los
Angeles Police Department is engaging in training exercises with the US
military. At a parallel march in support, in New York City, a new apparition -
large groups of masked men - joined the protesters, which is, globally, a sign
that provocateurs intent on violence have joined the scene; and journalist Tim
Pool was assaulted.
And reports continue to surface around the nation, most recently from Atlanta,
of heightened local law enforcement investment in military-style hardware to use
against domestic dissent. Predictably enough, after the NDAA created a clause
allowing for the indefinite detention of domestic terrorists, Oakland council
member referred to the Occupy protesters as "domestic terrorists".
In the midst of this escalation, some important lessons have emerged -from, of
all places, the glittery and snowy Sundance film festival in Park City, Utah. I
was there to appear on a panel titled "Loving the Masses", and in the course of
my visit, had the chance to see some of the riveting and important documentaries
about grassroots protest movements that distinguished this year's offerings:
these included the powerful Never Sorry, about the Chinese artist and dissident
Ai Weiwei, directed by novice 27-year-old filmmaker Alison Klayman; Half
Revolution, presenting edge-of-your-seat reportage from the front lines of
Cairo's revolution, by young Palestinian-Danish director Omar Shargawi and
Egyptian-American director Karim el-Hakim; David France's compelling How to
Survive a Plague, about Act Up's rise and fall; the historically significant A
Fierce Green Fire, detailing 30 years of the environmental movement, by Mark
Kitchell; and the truly infuriating doc about how US corporations cycle their
profits out of the country, hiding them routinely in offshore accounts or in
their Irish subsidiaries, so as to avoid paying any US taxes whatsoever - and
doing so in collusion with their hired hands in Congress - We're Not Broke, by
Karin Hayes and Victoria Bruce. The news is bittersweet and the lessons are
timely.
One thing that emerges from watching these documentaries, in aggregate, is that
this narrative is global. As the power of global corporations transcends the
political power of nation states, global corporations are simply rewriting
legislation in advanced democracies behind closed doors, and leaving the people
- of Greece or the UK, America or Italy - out of the decision-making process
altogether; then presenting the need for cutbacks as a fait accompli. It is this
lack of financial transparency and accountability that Occupy's movement
threatens, and there are truly billions of dollars - in untaxed US profits alone
- at stake if they become successful.
Also apparent from these films is that the crackdowns against dissent are now
globally coordinated: Acta, which allows corporations to block access to certain
sites online, was signed recently by a series of governments. In Half a
Revolution, Cairenes hold up bullets and tear gas canisters marked "Made in
America". As Twitter and Facebook became global routes for "revolutionary"
sentiment used by dissidents such as Ai Weiwei - who documented, via Twitter,
footage of his being beaten by secret police in a hotel room, as well as
tweeting his brain scan images that showed proof of the damage done by the
beating - and as Facebook drove the protests in Tahrir Square, both social media
have both recently announced policies that limit their usefulness as tools for
organizing, that weaken privacy protections, and that can help to put in
jeopardy dissidents who run afoul of local censors.
On the organizing side, the lessons are profound from these documentaries, as
well. It was heartbreaking to sit on the panel watching clips from A Fierce
Green Fire and How to Survive a Plague and see that most of the forms of
effective peaceful protest used by these successful movements are now illegal,
or else extremely dangerous. Lois Gibbs, a citizen leader in the Love Canal
pollution scandal, spoke of holding government officials hostage until the
groups' demands were met. Well, these days, that would get you ID'ed as a
"domestic terrorist" and shipped to abusive detention.
Act Up successfully put a condom around Senator Jesse Helms' house, blocked
access to the FDA, and showed up to disrupt meetings about drug trials that had
been held in secret. Especially affecting to me was how long they were given to
make their points before being silenced - and how they faced brief arrest
processes, at most, but no violence. Act up was, of course, successful and their
activism on fast-tracking Aids drugs has saved millions of lives.
Important lessons also emerged, especially from Act Up. Occupy - a movement I
love and respect, and which represents our last best hope -also fills me with
distress because of how difficult it is for a movement committed to "no
spokespeople" to get their message out. Act Up, which was founded by a group
that included people who worked in the media and in advertising, were not so
self-hobbled: they created a memorable "brand" (the pink triangle) and coined a
powerful soundbite ("silence equals death"); and activists accepted media
training from a member who was also a news anchor. They were "on message" -
labeling the Catholic Church, for instance, "murderers" when it opposed condom
use. And it was effective, so the word "murderer" was repeated in dozens of
voices and entered the news stream. The Church lost that round; the soundbite
won the day.
Also clear was that Act Up did not get bogged down in consensus decision-making
- which has derailed every single group I have ever studied that has committed
to it - and went with a clear agenda voted on by majority rule. (They also
appeared, from footage of meetings, to have been following Robert's Rules of
Order.) Most importantly, they worked what every successful grassroots movement
needs to create: an outside, disruptive pressure strategy, and a
talk-to-and-negotiate-with-the-decision-makers-under-pressure "inside" arm,
creating a pincer movement. So Act Up protesters would disrupt drug trials
outside the FDA or a private drug company building, or occupy St Vincent's
Hospital. Then, after the disruption had smoked out the leadership of the
institution under fire, a few designated Act Up representatives would make
themselves available to present their clear demands to those in power in those
institutions and negotiate outcomes, with more protest and disruption implied if
demands were not met.
Again and again, How to Survive a Plague shows that this tactic is effective.
Right now, though, the Occupy movement has an ideological reluctance to creating
both arms of the pincer. Many see it as "contaminating", in the words of one
young activist, to even talk to the decision-makers they are protesting against,
or to deal with the mainstream media. I would argue - as I did at Sundance -
that the house is burning and we do not have time for this preciousness. The
evidence from the French documentary, as well as from the Tahrir Square footage,
is that the images in the news media let the world be a witness and, to some
extent, protect protesters. But without journalists present, Syria is free to
mow down citizens without intereference. That shows that disorganization and a
policy of shunning media communication equals political death
Media exposure, a clear message, smart soundbites, clearly stated demands, and,
most importantly, tasked, empowered negotiators working on the inside in concert
with mass disrupters applying pressure from without - this equals political
life.

At Event, a Rare Look at Putin’s LifeBy ELLEN BARRY
Published: January 27, 2012
MOSCOW — Prime Minister Vladimir V. Putin, a man whose private life is revealed to the public only in glimpses, on Friday described the loss that his family suffered during the 872-day siege of Leningrad, the Soviet-era name for St. Petersburg, when his 1-year-old brother was taken from his mother, died in a children’s home and was buried in an unmarked grave.
“My brother, whom I have never seen and did not know, was buried here, I don’t even know where exactly,” Mr. Putin said flatly during an annual wreath-laying at Piskaryovskoye Cemetery in St. Petersburg, where 470,000 civilians and soldiers were buried in mass graves. A memorial plaque at the site states that 641,803 people died of starvation in the city between 1941 and 1944.
“My parents told me that children were taken from their families in 1941, and my mother had a child taken from her — with the goal of saving him,” he said at the event, which marks the anniversary of the blockade’s end. “They said he had died, but they never said where he was buried. ”
Late Friday, a St. Petersburg organization, We Remember Them All By Name announced that its researchers had found a record of Viktor V. Putin, who was born in 1940 and died in 1942. Aleksandr Nesmeyanov, of the organization, said he had found evidence that 10 men and 5 women with the last name Putin were buried in the mass graves, but only one, the baby Viktor, had the patronymic Vladimirovich.
Mr. Putin visits this site most years to commemorate the German blockade, when residents of the city were dying in such numbers that army engineers set off explosives in farmers’ fields and dumped bodies in the holes. In the book “First Person,” he said that his mother was so close to starvation that she lost consciousness and “they laid her out with the corpses” until someone heard her moaning. His father, hospitalized with war wounds, set aside his rations to feed her.
Mr. Putin, born in 1952, was his parents’ third son but was the only one to survive. The first Putin son died in infancy.

Excerpt:
A grim report just issued by the Finance Ministry that is circulating in the Kremlin today says the United States Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS) has ground to a virtual halt signaling that a major global economic collapse is currently underway and could very well likely enter into the dreaded "freefall zone."
Virtually unknown to all but the global financial elite, CHIPS is the main privately held clearing house for large-value transactions in the United States, settling well over $1 trillion a day in around 250,000 interbank payments that together with the Fedwire Funds Service, which is operated by the Federal Reserve Banks, forms the primary US network for large-value domestic and international US dollar payments where it has a market share of around 96%.
The cause underlying the collapse of CHIPS, this report says, is due to the "unprecedented" demand for immediate liquidity relief being sought by the largest banks in the US and EU that are being crushed under of the combined debt of both the United States and Europe said to total near $39 trillion.
Important to note is that what is currently happening is a virtual repeat of the 2008 Financial Crisis that the United States Senate's Levin–Coburn Report found "was not a natural disaster, but the result of high risk, complex financial products; undisclosed conflicts of interest; and the failure of regulators, the credit rating agencies, and the market itself to rein in the excesses of Wall Street."
Grimly echoing this Ministry report is the latest data [see chart 2nd photo left, or click on link] from The Baltic Dry Index (BDI) that is a number issued daily by the London-based Baltic Exchange and shows it in freefall dropping 65% in the past 30 days alone, a terrifying amount of loss not seen since the dark days of late 2008.
Not restricted to Baltic Sea countries, the BDI tracks worldwide international shipping prices of various dry bulk cargoes that has collapsed so severely global shipping has all but ceased thus leaving our world's largest transport ships anchored and empty off the coast of Singapore [photo 3rd left] in what is described as "the biggest and most secretive gathering of ships in maritime history whose numbers are equivalent to the entire British and American navies combined."
During the 2008 Financial Crisis an outright global economic catastrophe was only averted after the US Federal Reserve secretly gave out to US banks and corporations, and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland, over $16 trillion that was only discovered due to an amendment to the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act passed by the American Congress that called for their being audited for the first time in their 99-year history.
Note: To place that $16 trillion into perspective, remember that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States is only $14.12 trillion, and the entire national debt of the United States government spanning its 200+ year history is "only" $14.5 trillion.
Curiously, the aforementioned amendment to the Dodd-Frank law only called only for a one-time audit of any emergency lending facility established by the Federal Reserve since 1 December 2007 and ending with the date of enactment of the law when it was signed by President Obama on 21 July 2010 thus keeping hidden from the American people who is getting their money.
To if anyone in the world, even the powerful US Federal Reserve, has the power to avert this coming catastrophe, this Ministry report warns, it is unlikely due to the cascading collapse of the global derivative market due to the mounting gridlock in liquidity that US billionaire and Obama confidant Warren Buffet warned back in 2003 were "financial weapons of mass destruction."
Though the word "derivatives" sounds complicated and technical, understanding them is really not that hard. A derivative is essentially a fancy way of saying that a bet has been made. Originally, these bets were designed to hedge risk, but today the derivatives market has mushroomed into a mountain of speculation unlike anything the world has ever seen before. Estimates of the notional value of the worldwide derivatives market go from $600 trillion all the way up to $1.4 quadrillion.
$1.4 Quadrillion is roughly: -40 TIMES THE WORLD'S STOCK MARKET. -10 TIMES the value of EVERY STOCK & EVERY BOND ON THE PLANET. -23 TIMES WORLD GDP.
Failing to be noticed by the Western peoples about this global economic collapse is that it has been, in all probability, a "planned event" due to occur so as to initiate a New World Order that has long been sought after by the elites, but was condemned by the ancients who warned that the uniting of our world as an economic dictatorship would lead to every human being having to obtain the Mark of The Beast thus bringing this present age to its end.
In a Western world devoid of morality, and lacking the knowledge of the ancients, it is beyond doubt that this coming economic collapse will take them by complete surprise (as the last one did) as they have been trained like dutiful slaves to only adhere to those voices leading them to their doom.
But for those who know the truth, the time is nearing an end for preparing…it will come much sooner than anyone will believe.

Excerpt:
The Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS) is the main privately held clearing house for large-value transactions in the United States, settling well over US$1 trillion a day in around 250,000 interbank payments. Together with the Fedwire Funds Service (which is operated by the Federal Reserve Banks), CHIPS forms the primary U.S. network for large-value domestic and international USD payments (where it has a market share of around 96%). CHIPS transfers are governed by Article 4A of Uniform Commercial Code.
CHIPS is owned by financial institutions. According to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), an interagency office of the United States government, "any banking organization with a regulated U.S. presence may become an owner and participate in the network."[1] CHIPS participants may be commercial banks, Edge Act corporations or investment companies. Until 1998, to be a CHIPS participant, a financial institution was required to maintain a branch or an agency in New York City. A non-participant wishing to make international payments using CHIPS was required to employ one of the CHIPS participants to act as its correspondent or agent.
Banks typically prefer to make payments of higher value and of a less time-sensitive nature by CHIPS instead of Fedwire, as CHIPS is less expensive (both by charges and by funds required).

Top Air Force scientist wants to 'peer into souls'
by Terrence Aym
Created on: January 23, 2012
The United States Air Force's (USAF) top resident genius, Dr. Mark Maybury, wants to create a sensor network allowing operators to read the "hearts and minds" of enemies and predict future wars in advance.
If the late director Stanley Kubrick was still around he might consider making a movie out of the US Air Force's latest scheme—building a "social radar" system designed to peer into peoples souls. He might title the film: "Son of Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Being Brain Probed."
Maybury has a good reason for dubbing his brainstorm "social radar." As he told Wired.com's Danger Room, “The Air Force and the Navy in this and other countries have a history of developing Sonar to see through the water, Radar to see through the air, and IR [infrared] to see through the night. Well, we also want to see into the hearts and
the minds of people.”
From robotic drones to telepathic cyber warfare to mind-reading the enemy
Lately, the USAF has gotten pretty ambitious with its projects. It's bumped up the capabilities and number of its unmanned aerial vehicles and is in the process of deploying them in strategic theaters all over the world.
Other projects, some with the joint co-operation of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) have involved capturing the leading edge of the burgeoning expansion by some potential adversaries into sophisticated cyber warfare. The USAF (and to some extent the US Navy) has promoted and funded the idea of human-machine interfacing. Linking the human brain directly to cybernetics will permit the creation of biocybernetics, a formidable defensive and offensive weapon for deployment against enemy cyber attacks, or so some military researchers argue.
One of the most advanced projects that both the Department of Defense and DARPA have been pushing involves the ability to sort of see into the future and predict an enemy's mindset and where that mindset might lead. Maybury's idea is pushing the concept farther.
His 11-page white paper about social radar written for the MITRE Corporation, explains in detail the desktop approach to creating a sensory network system with the ability to intuit enemies thoughts and emotions.
Although the system envisioned will not reach the territory of true mind-reading, it's moving in that direction. The way Maybury's idea works, according to MotherJones.com is, "He's looking for a way to compile massive amounts of biometrics and sociometrics—everything

Excerpt:
They also mention "the geopolitical chess match with China" along with covert wars in Yemen, Pakistan and Mexico, all which "require deep knowledge of all the pieces on the board" but once again fail to even consider the possibility of the United States not taking a confrontational approach to the world.
In researching this field I have come to the realization that the vast majority of journalists, authors and researchers fail to even consider the fact that this conflict-oriented approach need not be a given.
The concept of Social Radar is much like what the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is already doing in the United States.
However, it appears that Maybury's Social Radar would be much more comprehensive in the media it collects compared to the domestic programs which mostly monitor social media websites, blogs, social media trend tracking websites, news websites, etc. whereas Social Radar would integrate just about everything you can think of.
The domestic programs being used to spy on the American people currently, like Maybury's Social Radar, regularly claim to be preserving the privacy of users, or in the case of the domestic programs, they claim they do not collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

"We're supposed to provide ISR," says Maybury, using the military acronym for intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance. "But our constituents [say], `Don't just give me a weather forecast, Air Force, give me an enemy movement forecast.' What's that about? That's human behavior. And so [we need to] understand what motivates individuals, how they behave."
Maybury, dressed in his preferred outfit — a double-breasted black blazer and silver, rectangular glasses — discussed his Social Radar notion as part of a 90-minute interview in his Pentagon office, his native Massachusetts accent growing thicker as the discussion drew on.
An artificial intelligence and language processing specialist, he's been working for the military, on and off, since the mid-1980s. But as the counterinsurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan wore on, he found himself drawn further and further into what he calls the "human domain" of combat.
In the last few weeks, the Pentagon may have downgraded counterinsurgency in its strategy revamp.

Humans Lose, Robots Win in New Defense Budget
By Spencer Ackerman Email Author January 26, 2012
The big loser in the Pentagon’s new budget? Ordinary human beings.
About 80,000 Army soldiers and 20,000 Marines are getting downsized. Half of the Army’s conventional combat presence in Europe is packing up and ending its post-Cold War staycation. Replacing them, according to the $613 billion budget previewed by the Pentagon on Thursday: unconventional special-operations forces; new bombers; new spy tools; new missiles for subs; and a veritable Cylon army of drones.
This is the first of the Pentagon’s new, smaller “austerity” budgets: it’s asking Congress for $525 billion (plus $88.4 billion for the Afghanistan war), compared to a $553 billion request (plus $117 billion in war cash) last year. Only the Pentagon is emphasizing (.pdf) what the military is keeping, not what it’s cutting. That’s because congressional Republicans don’t like swallowing these cuts — and really don’t want to acquiesce to a currently-scheduled law that could tack on another $600 billion-plus to the already-scheduled, decade-long $487 billion in cuts. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is preempting the objections, promising a force that’s “smaller and leaner, but agile, flexible, ready and technologically advanced.”
That means no changes to the U.S. fleet of 11 aircraft carriers and 10 air wings, all reflecting the Obama administration’s emphasis on the western Pacific. It means leaving the nuclear triad — the bombers, subs and missiles that can end all life on earth — alone. (With one exception: the military will delay replacing the Ohio-class submarine by two years.) It means electronic weapons to jam enemy defenses and attack online networks. It means elite commando forces like the ones who just rescued two aid workers kidnapped in Somalia. And it means drones for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert.
Air Force’s Top Brain Wants a ‘Social Radar’ to ‘See Into Hearts and Minds’
By Noah Shachtman Email Author January 19, 2012 | 6:30 am
Scientists of the Air Force usually spend their time trying to figure out how to build better satellites or make jets go insanely fast. Which makes Dr. Mark Maybury, today’s chief scientist, a bit of an outlier. He’d like to build a set of sensors that peer into people’s souls — and forecast wars before they erupt.
Maybury calls his vision “Social Radar.” And the comparison to traditional sensors is no accident, he tells Danger Room. “The Air Force and the Navy in this and other countries have a history of developing Sonar to see through the water, Radar to see through the air, and IR [infrared] to see through the night. Well, we also want to see into the hearts and the minds of people,” says Maybury, who serves as the top science advisor to the Air Force’s top brass.

Important to note is that what is currently happening is a virtual repeat of the 2008 Financial Crisis that the United States Senate's Levin–Coburn Report found "was not a natural disaster, but the result of high risk, complex financial products; undisclosed conflicts of interest; and the failure of regulators, the credit rating agencies, and the market itself to rein in the excesses of Wall Street."
Grimly echoing this Ministry report is the latest data [see chart 2nd photo left, or click on link] from The Baltic Dry Index (BDI) that is a number issued daily by the London-based Baltic Exchange and shows it in freefall dropping 65% in the past 30 days alone, a terrifying amount of loss not seen since the dark days of late 2008.
Not restricted to Baltic Sea countries, the BDI tracks worldwide international shipping prices of various dry bulk cargoes that has collapsed so severely global shipping has all but ceased thus leaving our world's largest transport ships anchored and empty off the coast of Singapore [photo 3rd left] in what is described as "the biggest and most secretive gathering of ships in maritime history whose numbers are equivalent to the entire British and American navies combined."
During the 2008 Financial Crisis an outright global economic catastrophe was only averted after the US Federal Reserve secretly gave out to US banks and corporations, and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland, over $16 trillion that was only discovered due to an amendment to the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act passed by the American Congress that called for their being audited for the first time in their 99-year history.
Note: To place that $16 trillion into perspective, remember that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States is only $14.12 trillion, and the entire national debt of the United States government spanning its 200+ year history is "only" $14.5 trillion.
Curiously, the aforementioned amendment to the Dodd-Frank law only called only for a one-time audit of any emergency lending facility established by the Federal Reserve since 1 December 2007 and ending with the date of enactment of the law when it was signed by President Obama on 21 July 2010 thus keeping hidden from the American people who is getting their money.
To if anyone in the world, even the powerful US Federal Reserve, has the power to avert this coming catastrophe, this Ministry report warns, it is unlikely due to the cascading collapse of the global derivative market due to the mounting gridlock in liquidity that US billionaire and Obama confidant Warren Buffet warned back in 2003 were "financial weapons of mass destruction."
Though the word "derivatives" sounds complicated and technical, understanding them is really not that hard. A derivative is essentially a fancy way of saying that a bet has been made. Originally, these bets were designed to hedge risk, but today the derivatives market has mushroomed into a mountain of speculation unlike anything the world has ever seen before. Estimates of the notional value of the worldwide derivatives market go from $600 trillion all the way up to $1.4 quadrillion.
$1.4 Quadrillion is roughly: -40 TIMES THE WORLD'S STOCK MARKET. -10 TIMES the value of EVERY STOCK & EVERY BOND ON THE PLANET. -23 TIMES WORLD GDP.
Failing to be noticed by the Western peoples about this global economic collapse is that it has been, in all probability, a "planned event" due to occur so as to initiate a New World Order that has long been sought after by the elites, but was condemned by the ancients who warned that the uniting of our world as an economic dictatorship would lead to every human being having to obtain the Mark of The Beast thus bringing this present age to its end.
In a Western world devoid of morality, and lacking the knowledge of the ancients, it is beyond doubt that this coming economic collapse will take them by complete surprise (as the last one did) as they have been trained like dutiful slaves to only adhere to those voices leading them to their doom.
But for those who know the truth, the time is nearing an end for preparing…it will come much sooner than anyone will believe.

Excerpt:
The Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS) is the main privately held clearing house for large-value transactions in the United States, settling well over US$1 trillion a day in around 250,000 interbank payments. Together with the Fedwire Funds Service (which is operated by the Federal Reserve Banks), CHIPS forms the primary U.S. network for large-value domestic and international USD payments (where it has a market share of around 96%). CHIPS transfers are governed by Article 4A of Uniform Commercial Code.
CHIPS is owned by financial institutions. According to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), an interagency office of the United States government, "any banking organization with a regulated U.S. presence may become an owner and participate in the network."[1] CHIPS participants may be commercial banks, Edge Act corporations or investment companies. Until 1998, to be a CHIPS participant, a financial institution was required to maintain a branch or an agency in New York City. A non-participant wishing to make international payments using CHIPS was required to employ one of the CHIPS participants to act as its correspondent or agent.
Banks typically prefer to make payments of higher value and of a less time-sensitive nature by CHIPS instead of Fedwire, as CHIPS is less expensive (both by charges and by funds required).

Top Air Force scientist wants to 'peer into souls'
by Terrence Aym
Created on: January 23, 2012
The United States Air Force's (USAF) top resident genius, Dr. Mark Maybury, wants to create a sensor network allowing operators to read the "hearts and minds" of enemies and predict future wars in advance.
If the late director Stanley Kubrick was still around he might consider making a movie out of the US Air Force's latest scheme—building a "social radar" system designed to peer into peoples souls. He might title the film: "Son of Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Being Brain Probed."
Maybury has a good reason for dubbing his brainstorm "social radar." As he told Wired.com's Danger Room, “The Air Force and the Navy in this and other countries have a history of developing Sonar to see through the water, Radar to see through the air, and IR [infrared] to see through the night. Well, we also want to see into the hearts and
the minds of people.”
From robotic drones to telepathic cyber warfare to mind-reading the enemy
Lately, the USAF has gotten pretty ambitious with its projects. It's bumped up the capabilities and number of its unmanned aerial vehicles and is in the process of deploying them in strategic theaters all over the world.
Other projects, some with the joint co-operation of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) have involved capturing the leading edge of the burgeoning expansion by some potential adversaries into sophisticated cyber warfare. The USAF (and to some extent the US Navy) has promoted and funded the idea of human-machine interfacing. Linking the human brain directly to cybernetics will permit the creation of biocybernetics, a formidable defensive and offensive weapon for deployment against enemy cyber attacks, or so some military researchers argue.
One of the most advanced projects that both the Department of Defense and DARPA have been pushing involves the ability to sort of see into the future and predict an enemy's mindset and where that mindset might lead. Maybury's idea is pushing the concept farther.
His 11-page white paper about social radar written for the MITRE Corporation, explains in detail the desktop approach to creating a sensory network system with the ability to intuit enemies thoughts and emotions.
Although the system envisioned will not reach the territory of true mind-reading, it's moving in that direction. The way Maybury's idea works, according to MotherJones.com is, "He's looking for a way to compile massive amounts of biometrics and sociometrics—everything

They also mention "the geopolitical chess match with China" along with covert wars in Yemen, Pakistan and Mexico, all which "require deep knowledge of all the pieces on the board" but once again fail to even consider the possibility of the United States not taking a confrontational approach to the world.
In researching this field I have come to the realization that the vast majority of journalists, authors and researchers fail to even consider the fact that this conflict-oriented approach need not be a given.
The concept of Social Radar is much like what the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is already doing in the United States.
However, it appears that Maybury's Social Radar would be much more comprehensive in the media it collects compared to the domestic programs which mostly monitor social media websites, blogs, social media trend tracking websites, news websites, etc. whereas Social Radar would integrate just about everything you can think of.
The domestic programs being used to spy on the American people currently, like Maybury's Social Radar, regularly claim to be preserving the privacy of users, or in the case of the domestic programs, they claim they do not collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

"We're supposed to provide ISR," says Maybury, using the military acronym for intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance. "But our constituents [say], `Don't just give me a weather forecast, Air Force, give me an enemy movement forecast.' What's that about? That's human behavior. And so [we need to] understand what motivates individuals, how they behave."
Maybury, dressed in his preferred outfit — a double-breasted black blazer and silver, rectangular glasses — discussed his Social Radar notion as part of a 90-minute interview in his Pentagon office, his native Massachusetts accent growing thicker as the discussion drew on.
An artificial intelligence and language processing specialist, he's been working for the military, on and off, since the mid-1980s. But as the counterinsurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan wore on, he found himself drawn further and further into what he calls the "human domain" of combat.
In the last few weeks, the Pentagon may have downgraded counterinsurgency in its strategy revamp.

Humans Lose, Robots Win in New Defense Budget
By Spencer Ackerman Email Author January 26, 2012
The big loser in the Pentagon’s new budget? Ordinary human beings.
About 80,000 Army soldiers and 20,000 Marines are getting downsized. Half of the Army’s conventional combat presence in Europe is packing up and ending its post-Cold War staycation. Replacing them, according to the $613 billion budget previewed by the Pentagon on Thursday: unconventional special-operations forces; new bombers; new spy tools; new missiles for subs; and a veritable Cylon army of drones.
This is the first of the Pentagon’s new, smaller “austerity” budgets: it’s asking Congress for $525 billion (plus $88.4 billion for the Afghanistan war), compared to a $553 billion request (plus $117 billion in war cash) last year. Only the Pentagon is emphasizing (.pdf) what the military is keeping, not what it’s cutting. That’s because congressional Republicans don’t like swallowing these cuts — and really don’t want to acquiesce to a currently-scheduled law that could tack on another $600 billion-plus to the already-scheduled, decade-long $487 billion in cuts. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is preempting the objections, promising a force that’s “smaller and leaner, but agile, flexible, ready and technologically advanced.”
That means no changes to the U.S. fleet of 11 aircraft carriers and 10 air wings, all reflecting the Obama administration’s emphasis on the western Pacific. It means leaving the nuclear triad — the bombers, subs and missiles that can end all life on earth — alone. (With one exception: the military will delay replacing the Ohio-class submarine by two years.) It means electronic weapons to jam enemy defenses and attack online networks. It means elite commando forces like the ones who just rescued two aid workers kidnapped in Somalia. And it means drones for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert.
Air Force’s Top Brain Wants a ‘Social Radar’ to ‘See Into Hearts and Minds’
By Noah Shachtman Email Author January 19, 2012 | 6:30 am
Scientists of the Air Force usually spend their time trying to figure out how to build better satellites or make jets go insanely fast. Which makes Dr. Mark Maybury, today’s chief scientist, a bit of an outlier. He’d like to build a set of sensors that peer into people’s souls — and forecast wars before they erupt.
Maybury calls his vision “Social Radar.” And the comparison to traditional sensors is no accident, he tells Danger Room. “The Air Force and the Navy in this and other countries have a history of developing Sonar to see through the water, Radar to see through the air, and IR [infrared] to see through the night. Well, we also want to see into the hearts and the minds of people,” says Maybury, who serves as the top science advisor to the Air Force’s top brass.
