Wary Nations Face Cultural Divide on Climate Treaty's ‘Transparency

COPENHAGEN — Trust between nations is in short supply at the U.N. climate talks. Dealing with it has emerged as the linchpin in the negotiations of a new global warming treaty.

Global warming reporters left out in the cold

The organizers of that global warming conference believe they’re smart enough to run the planet. But evidently, they couldn’t “even figure out that 45,000 people won’t into a 15,000 person building.”

Copenhagen: Al Gore ‘ing the Truth on Climate Change

This is an Orwellian example of what to expect from the so-called “man-made” global warming crowd if they get their desired power to govern every aspect of our lives. These unelected “world government” bureaucrats in Copenhagen, who pontificate a totalitarian system of UN World “governance” over all nations, including the United States, in order to “save the planet” from “human destruction,” really desire nothing more than being in control of everyone else.

Climate Change Conference President Steps Down

The move was simply because a number of heads of state and government are arriving at the conference for high-level negotiations, and it made more sense for the Danish prime minister to be at the helm, the statement said.

Gore Refuses ClimateGate Questions

United Nations security officials have once again prevented a journalist from asking attendees at the climate change conference in Copenhagen questions about the growing ClimateGate scandal.

This time, the person on the receiving end of the apparently forbidden queries was Nobel Laureate Al Gore.

‘Climategate' divides scientists in Copenhagen

Indeed, a climate report released by the Indian environment minister last month questioned Western models of calculating global warming statistics in a quest to end reliance on Western science. It argued that there is no evidence that climate change is causing Himalayan glaciers to melt.

Struggling Spy Satellite Agency Tries to Right Itself

National Defense January 2010

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The National Reconnaissance Office, the agency responsible for developing and launching the U.S. fleet of spy satellites, is embarking on an ambitious plan to right itself after years of cost overruns and program cancellations.

But two powerful senators have opposed the office’s plans to launch the next generation of classified spacecraft. Personnel issues, namely a shortage of qualified personnel, may also impede progress.

Up To 56,000 More Contractors Likely For Afghanistan, Congressional Agency Says

The surge of 30,000 U.S. troops into Afghanistan could be accompanied by a surge of up to 56,000 contractors, vastly expanding the presence of personnel from the U.S. private sector in a war zone, according to a study by the Congressional Research Service.

Consumer group blasts White House's digital piracy pow-wow

Led by Vice President Joe Biden, the meeting “is the first of its kind, and will bring together all of the stakeholders to discuss ways to combat piracy in this rapidly changing technological age,” according to the White House.

On Tuesday morning, a prominent consumer advocacy group took the White House to task for the lopsided guest list of the meeting, which did not include “consumer or public-interest groups, technology companies, technology associations or Internet Service Providers.”

Open government could present a challenge to intelligence agencies

The release of the open government directive could change intelligence agencies' policies that deny Internet access to nonclassified data that is currently available only in hard copy or only to government personnel, say some Washington transparency advocates.

Washington – Tear Down Your Wall Against Currency Competition

December 15th, 2009  by Ron Holland

Although the faltering dollar could rebound in the short run, the longer-term prognosis is terminal unless Washington dramatically reduces spending and borrowing. When the global run on treasury debt and the dollar develops, the current relative minor fluctuations in values will be replaced by a virulent death spiral of historic proportions seen few times in world history.

Presidential Task Force on Controlled Unclassified Information Releases Report and Recommendations

Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, December 15, 2009

The Presidential Interagency Task Force on Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), led by Attorney General Holder and Secretary Napolitano, today released a report recommending a single, standardized framework for marking, safeguarding and disseminating sensitive but unclassified (SBU) information across the federal government. SBU information refers collectively to the various designations for documents and information that are sufficiently sensitive to warrant some level of protection but that do not meet the standards for classification.

There are more than 100 different SBU markings and handling procedures currently in use across the federal government.
