This is likely to change all our lives, and is an appallingly bad decision. The American courts are now so stacked in favor of corporate interests they are warping the culture in profound ways. Let us hope this decision is appealed and over-turned, or that Congress changes the laws to assure net neutrality, or the FCC gets enough public pressure to overcome the industry and serve the interests of the people . It ! requires a significant public outcry. And since the corporate media is hardly covering the story, since it so powerfully affects their corporate masters few even seem to know this has happened.

Al QAEDA: It has a strategy, the US does not

More than a dozen years since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the United States is still confused about al Qaeda’s goals and even how the group founded by Osama bin Laden is organized. The intellectual confusion is pervasive—and some of it is deliberate.

“We’ve had major military people at great risks to themselves say yes these things are real.

Hedges: More Signs Chris Christy is the Choice of the Wall St. and NJ Criminal Class

Chris Hedges pulls no punches in this article, he reveals disturbing facts about Christy that mainstream media has so far totally ignored. Hedges reinforces the main points made in Raimondo's prior article showing Christy is the preferred choice of the 1% of the 1% to be President of the US because he is vindictive and brutal, as is seen in his punishing (though carried out by his inner circle) an entire town, including those who voted for him in that town, as I saw in NBC news street interviews. This is proof he is made in the mold of a banana republic dictator, as Hedges shows, that will be perfect for the times when the peasants revolt. Christy can be depended on to take care of them his way, a way which Tony Soprano would approve of:

I Spent Two Hours Talking With the NSA’s Bigwigs. Here’s What Has Them Mad

By Steven Levy

WIRED, 01.13.14

EXTRACT:

I talk about that session in my story, but let me note a few general takeaways:

The dual mission of the NSA generates cognitive dissonance. Right on its home page, the NSA says its core missions are “to protect U.S. national security systems and to produce foreign signals intelligence information.” The officials repeatedly claimed they pursue both responsibilities with equal vigor. There’s a built-in conflict here: If U.S. industries distribute strong encryption throughout the world, it should make the NSA’s signals-gathering job much harder. Yet the NSA says it welcomes encryption. (The officials even implied that the tension between the two missions winds up making both efforts more robust.) Nonetheless, the Snowden leaks indicate that the NSA has engaged in numerous efforts that tamper with the security of American products. The officials resisted this characterization. Why, they asked, would they compromise security of products they use themselves, like Windows, Cisco routers, or the encryption standards they allegedly compromised?
