09 Justice, 11 Society, Civil Society, Cultural Intelligence, Ethics, Officers Call

Election reform is on the line at the Supreme Court

SUPREME COURT observers focused on the Affordable Care Act case this week.

Robert Steele: On Petraeus, a Mossad Honey Trap, and More — This Is a Bye for Israel — Update 6

08 Wild Cards, 09 Justice, Corruption, Director of National Intelligence et al (IC), DoD, Government, Officers Call, Secrecy & Politics of Secrecy

Sigh. I was not going to comment on David Patraeus gross dereliction of duty but several colleagues are totally pissed off and they are correct to be angry. Here are a mix of supposition and fact along with my conclusions on this sorry disgrace to the Republic.

UPDATED to integrate specific observations from IDENS A-C.

UPDATED to add key paragraphs from Marcy Wheeler at SALON and Ray McGovern.

06 Russia, IO Deeds of War, Officers Call, Peace Intelligence

Good News and Bad News: WWW3 Will be a Short War

Alexey Navalny, a major opposition leader to Putin, was murdered in Russia, and likely he was a victim of a false flag planned and executed by Western neocons. As Wayne Madsen commented, “Neocons issue their demands for “regime change” in Russia, minutes after Boris Nemtsov is shot gangland-style near Kremlin. This is an obvious set-up like the Politkovskaya, Klebnikov, and Litvinenko murders to embarrass Putin's government and comes days after release of a Stratfor report predicting the downfall of Putin and the splitting up of Russia into smaller states.

Brian Jacob Church spent the better part of a day shackled inside Chicago's Homan Square, denied access to an attorney, before police finally sent him to be booked and charged. Lawyers say the facility is the domestic equivalent of a CIA black site.

• The disappeared: Chicago police detain Americans at abuse-laden ‘black site'

• Homan Square ‘black site': surveillance, military-style vehicles and a metal cage
