Activism: GET FUCKING WITH IT - Tonight's huge rant about telecom immunity and FISA - write the International Criminal Court NOW

Clearly there is a problem in the American INTEL community.

The outting of Valerie Plame should be clear indication of that. Her "case" shows that even those who should be first at getting their backs covered FIRST don't even have that option - the agencies and Dick Cheney and his Mosler safes have seen to that. Morphing into a major industry for security of its very own, the CIA and NSA and the other alphabet soupers as well as what is now estimated to be at the 50% level outsourced intel agents has made for another kind of KlusterfucK - spiral wildly out of control. I would pay good money (if I had it) to a true computer generated picture of this grid of immense proportions - all of which can access illegally obtained information.

Those who condone WARRANTLESS wiretapping (the UBERscareddycatZ) are puzzlingly very trustful of Big Brother even though it certainly is common knowledge that Very Bad Things happen as a result of Intel Run Amok - that villian haunting our beds, our TVs, our purchases, our vacations, our secret savings accounts - you name it, the prying fingers, ears and eyes are everywhere.

Hey! I got set up! If you are a naive newbie to this life let me be the first one to tell you - warrantless wiretapping (how do I know there was no warrant? I friggin demanded to see one) does occur that can lead to incredible pain.

And then there is The Blackmail Factor - anyone can be set up by alphabetsoupers anywhere on the globe. It's not a matter of "if I keep my nose clean, my pecker in my pants, and pay my taxes and all will work out" as the apologists for telecom noseyparkering by the federales seems to suggest.


It's a matter of someone who has a need to dominate and control, putting on a badge and trying to figure out how to take the powerless and stretch them out on a rack for some insanely-devised payoff that benefits would be power players.
And then they do it.

Why does anyone think that CONgress dances to Dirty Dick's tune - here's a fucking clue: he's got the goods on them all! It's so bad now that people actually think that Dennis Kucinich was blackmailed by Dick Cheney to get out of the Presidential race. And the plebe doesn't think some other fed will do it to them?? [Since original publication of this, it has been announced that AIPAC and Nancy Pelosi paid Dennis call, in actual fact!!)

As a commenter wrote below, here's a very good suggestion that I found on wired:

I suggest everyone write the Hague, write the I.C.C., ask them to prosecute EVERY SINGLE ONE of the U.S. Congress, and Senate, who voted to authorize the war, the TORTURE, the illegal occupation, the mass murder of more than a million Iraqi's, and the raping and pillaging of untold millions of people in other nations by virtue of AL-CIA-DA meddling and interference and assassinations and killings of statesmen and women to further the U.S. hegemony world-wide.

as for @mike or whoever that right wing fuck is up there, he needs to grab his earlobes real hard, and pull really really hard, and maybe pull his single digit I.Q. based brain out of his fucking asshole!


Tonight I went to my local library and tried to check out book to read about the Justice Trials in Nuremberg and to get some real up to date information about the ICC, the International Criminal Court and you know what I found? There is one book, on the fourth floor, in the business section that you can check out. Now, that was ALL - other than is the option of reading about it, without the option of checkout, at the Toronto Reference Library. Give me a break!!

I've tried posed to the "professors" and brainaics that:

  • a DVD should be put together properly and be distributed to every single person in the United States which includes a history of the First Amendment;
  • a list of RIGHTS that is entailed;
  • an explanation of WHY the system of balances in the US is SO screwed up that a tarted-up ignorant SF debutante like Nancy Pelosi can sit in a chair for years on end and stop a criminal investigation of obvious war crimes (obvious, obvious, obvious - and of many many violations of US Federal laws) that the US is now facing martial law with troops to impose it that have been trained in a middle eastern country
  • how to write a petition;
  • how to file for an indictment of violators of US citizen rights;
  • how to file a class action suit against the US Government for deriliction of duties by those who swear to an oath to protect the safety of citizens; AND
  • And pertinent information on war crimes, crimes against humanity such that a person can understand the history that has been missed out on in their education.
  • Infotainment doesn't have much lasting value when you really look at it.

I call it the Education for Democracy project and the whole thing should be put on a DVD or CD that can be rewritten. They should hand this little tool kit out in every friggen mall in the US and in Canada while circulating petitions which are already available on this blog. See my impeachment toolkit link, get with that, too. For X's sake, how long is everybody going to wait as the damage SPIRALS? Try to put a face on all those people who have suffered under AIPAC's watch. Remember this, buddy, you can be next in line -- most particularly if you are doing humanitarian work in the wrong bloody place! Or you're a journalist who doesn't care to hear the spin in the Green Zoo or you report damaging information like James Risen. Put your face in this picture - I am talking about YOU.

Think for a moment, maybe two, if you can pry yourself away from the monotonous litany about "Terrorists" for one moment about:

the junta who STOLE an election to get their bloodless coup, the US Congress influence peddlars, thge friggin torturing CIA, Attorney Generals who got their law license for no better reason than to enlarge their bank accounts and increase their so-called prestige, think tank apologists (see my remarks about that genocidal asshole, Ariel Cohen, just for an example), that wicked witch Elena Benador (oh, I'd like to sock her chops!!), the 80,000 registered lobbyists, the free lance alphabet soupers, the friggin US corporations and multinationals with their lunatic proposals for "security defense", the entire US State Department, and every other thing that makes up the toxic soup that they're about to substitute for the K-K-K-Koolaid.

to elucidate those same right wing fuckbrains, read this, and know that your scumbag dictator is going to try to use U.S. troops to put down a U.S. INSURGENCY once the nation's economy has FULLY TANKED and people are rioting and burning buildings to get the dictator fucker's sorry assed attention. If you have one fucking ounce of sense left (and this fucking includes you, too, corporate AmeriKA:

Green Zone Follies

BAGHDAD -- "Yesterday, one of my good friends from another office was telling me they were going to start issuing armored vests to us office types because of the growing danger from mortars. We are being shelled daily and, like everything else, casualties are way underreported . But more important than the flak vests was a file he had copied out and which he gave to me to smuggle out of the country. As I have said, we have strict censorship here on all incoming and outgoing snail mail, email, phone calls and so on. This report is so serious I am making a précis of it and am even now sending it around to various news outlets, both Stateside and elsewhere. I
have my sources and believe me, the CIC people here are so stupid they couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the directions were on the bottom.

It states that because of "growing popular unrest in the United States, caused by the prolonged war in Iraq .coupled with obvious Congressional inaction," the U.S. military has drawn up plans for combating domestic U.S. civil insurrections. This is not a theoretical study but a very specific one. Units to be used domestically are listed in detail as are detention centers, etc.

As a result of this, plans are now in train to segregate, retrain and reequip certain anti-insurgent U.S. military units now serving in Iraq and to prepare them for quick transfer back to the United States for use "as needed" The Pentagon command believes that such civil insurrections are not only a possibility but a very real probability in the event that the President and his advisors maintain their present course vis a vis the Iraqi war.

It is interesting to note that "foreign intelligence representatives, now active in the United States" (read Mossad) are to be subject to "arrest, confinement and eventual deportation to their country of origin."

The report and several attached ones, run to almost 900 pages and cannot be put up in their current form. However, I will list some of the more important data here:


Classification: Top Secret-Noforn as of 1 June 2007

Distribution Restriction: Distribution authorized to the DOD and DOD contractors only to maintain operations security. This determination was made on 1 June 2007. Other requests for this document must be referred to (redacted)

Destruction Notice: Destroy by any method that will prevent disclosure of contents
or reconstruction of the document. .

This publication uses the term insurgent to describe those taking part in any activity designed to undermine or to overthrow the established authorities Counterinsurgency is those military, paramilitary, political, economic, psychological, and civicactions taken by a government to defeat insurgency (JP 1-02). It is an offensive approach involving all elements of national power; it can take place across the range of operations and spectrum of conflict.

In dealing with the local populace, the primary aims must be to:

Protect the population.

Establish local political institutions.

Reinforce local governments.

Eliminate insurgent capabilities.

Exploit information from local sources.

An insurgency is organized movement aimed at the overthrow of a constituted government through use of subversion and armed conflict (JP 1-02). It is a protracted politico-military struggle designed to weaken government control and legitimacy while increasing insurgent control. Political power is the central issue in an insurgency.

An insurgent organization normally consists of four elements:

Leadership.

Combatants (main forces, regional forces, local forces).

Cadre (local political leaders that are also called the militants).

Mass base (the bulk of the membership).

A perceived serious potential of dissident American groups rising up against
constituted authority has been clearly identified by counter-intelligence agencies..

The stated cause for such an uprising appear to be growing dissatisfaction with the course and conduct of the war in Iraq, the chronic inability of Congress to deal with various pressing issues and the perception of widespread corruption and indifference to public needs.

The support of the people, passive or active then, is the center of gravity. It must be gained in whatever proportion is necessary to sustain the insurgent movement (or, contrariwise, to defeat it). As in any political campaign, all levels of support are relative.

Insurgent movements begin as "fire in the minds of men." Insurgent leaders commit themselves to building a new world. They construct the organization to carry through this desire. Generally, popular grievances become insurgent causes when interpreted and shaped by the insurgent leadership. The insurgency grows if the cadre that is local insurgent leaders and representatives can establish a link between the insurgent movement and the desire for solutions to grievances sought by the local population.

Insurgent leaders will exploit opportunities created by government security force actions. The behavior of security forces is critical. Lack of security force discipline leads to alienation, and security force abuse of the populace is a very effective insurgent recruiting tool. Consequently, specific insurgent tactical actions are often planned to frequently elicit overreaction from security force individuals and units.

Insurgencies are dynamic political movements, resulting from real or perceived grievance or neglect that leads to alienation from an established government.

A successful counterinsurgency will result in the neutralization by the state of the insurgency and its effort to form a counterstate. While many abortive insurgencies are defeated by military and police actions alone, if an insurgency has tapped into serious grievances and has mobilized a significant portion of the population, simply returning to the status quo may not be an option. Reform may be necessary, but reform is a matter for the state, using all of its human and material resources.

Security forces are only one such resource. The response must be multifaceted and coordinated, yet states typically charge their security forces with "waging counterinsurgency." This the security forces cannot do alone.

These imperatives are-

Facilitate establishment or reestablishment of a 'legitimate government'.

Counterinsurgency requires perseverance.

Foster popular support for the incumbent US government.

Prepare to perform functions and conduct operations that are outside normal scope
of training.

Coordinate with US governmental departments and agencies, and with vital nongovernmental,
agencies.

Urban operations.

  • Protection of government facilities.
    Protection of infrastructure.
    Protection of commercial enterprises vital to the HN economy.
    Protection of cultural facilities.
    Prevention of looting.
    Military police functions.
    Close interaction with civilians.
    Assistance with reconstruction projects.
    Securing the national borders.
    Training or retraining a national military police and security force.

Establishing and maintaining local government credibility.

  • · Contributing local government is both tangible and psychological. Local security
    forces must reinforce and be integrated into the plan at every stage.

  • · Facilitate and use information and intelligence obtained from local sources to gain
    access to the insurgent's economic and social base of support, order of battle, tactics,
    techniques, and procedures.

Army forces help local pro-government police, paramilitary, and military forces perform counterinsurgency, area security, or local security operations. They advise and assist in finding, dispersing, capturing, and destroying the insurgent force.

US forces may conduct offensive operations to disrupt and destroy insurgent combat formations. These operations prevent the insurgents from attacking government-controlled areas.

There are many organizations and extensive resources available to aid counterinsurgent forces.

Commanders should not overlook the aid these organizations may provide. All forces assigned an AO or function should determine which departments and agencies are assisting in that AO and coordinate actions so that there is no duplication of effort. Such departments,
councils and agencies include-

· National Security Council.
· Department of Defense.
· Department of State.
· Department of Justice.
· Department of the Treasury.
· Department of Homeland Security.
· Department of Agriculture.
· Department of Commerce.
· Central Intelligence Agency.
· Department of Transportation

Various governmental departments directly administer or support other
governmental agencies. Examples of these US agencies are-

· The US Coast Guard (under Department of Homeland Security).
· The Federal Bureau of Investigation (under Department of Justice).
· Immigration Customs Enforcement (under Department of Homeland Security).
· Federal Communications Commission

The proper application of force is a critical component to any successful counterinsurgency operation. In a counterinsurgency, the center of gravity is in public support. In order to defeat an insurgent force, US forces must be able to separate insurgents from the population. At the same time, US forces must conduct themselves in a manner that enables them to maintain popular domestic support.

Excessive or indiscriminant use of force is likely to alienate the local populace, thereby increasing support for insurgent forces. Insufficient use of force results in increased risks to US forces and perceived weaknesses that can jeopardize the mission by emboldening insurgents and undermining domestic popular support.

Achieving the appropriate balance requires a thorough understanding of the nature and causes of the insurgency, the end state, and the military's role in a counterinsurgency operation. Nevertheless, US forces always retain the right to use necessary and proportional force for individual and unit self-defense in response to a hostile act or demonstrated hostile intent.

The media, print and broadcast (radio, television and the Internet), play a vital role in societies involved in a counterinsurgency. Members of the media have a significant influence and shaping impact on political direction, national security objectives, and policy and national will. The media is a factor in military operations.

It is their right and obligation to report to their respective audiences on the use of military force. They demand logistic support and access to military operations while refusing to be controlled. Their desire for immediate footage and on-the-spot coverage of events, and the increasing contact with units and Soldiers (for example, with embedded reporters) require commanders and public affairs officers to provide guidance to leaders and Soldiers on media relations. However, military planners must provide and enforce ground rules to the media to ensure operations security.

Public affairs offices plan for daily briefings and a special briefing after each significant event because the media affect and influence each potential target audience external and internal to the AO. Speaking with the media in a forwarddeployed area is an opportunity to explain what our organizations and efforts have accomplished.

Continuous PSYOP are mounted to-

· Counter the effects of insurgent propaganda.

· Relate controls to the security and well-being of the population.

· Portray a favorable governmental image.

.Control measures must http://

·

Be authorized by national laws and regulations (counterparts should be trained not
to improvise unauthorized measures).
· Be tailored to fit the situation (apply the minimum force required to achieve the desired
result).
· Be supported by effective local intelligence.
· Be instituted in as wide an area as possible to prevent bypass or evasion.
· Be supported by good communications.
· Be enforceable.
· Be lifted as the need diminishes.
· Be compatible, where possible, with local customs and traditions.
· Establish and maintain credibility of local government.

A control program may be developed in five phases:

  • · Securing and defending the area internally and externally.
  • · Organizing for law enforcement.
  • · Executing cordon and search operations.
  • · Screening and documenting the population (performing a detailed census).
  • · Performing public administration, to include resource control.

Support to the judiciary may be limited to providing security to the existing courts or may lead to more comprehensive actions to build local, regional, and national courts and the required support apparatus. To avoid overcrowding in police jails, the courts must have an efficient and timely magistrate capability, ideally co-located with police stations and police jails, to review cases for trial.

Cordon and search is a technique used by military and police forces in both urban and rural environments. It is frequently used by counterinsurgency forces conducting a population and resource control mission against small centers of population or subdivisions of a larger community. To be effective, cordon and search operations must have sufficient forces to effectively cordon off and thoroughly search target areas, to include subsurface areas.

PSYOP, civil affairs, and specialist interrogation teams should augment cordon and search orces to increase the effectiveness of operations. Consider the following when conducting cordon and search operations:

Cordon and search operations may be conducted as follows:

Disposition of troops should-

  • · Facilitate visual contact between posts within the cordon.
    · Provide for adequate patrolling and immediate deployment of an effective re-serve
    force.
    Priority should be given to-
    · Sealing the administrative center of the community.
    · Occupying all critical facilities.
    · Detaining personnel in place.
    · Preserving and securing all records, files, and other archives.

Key facilities include-

· Administrative buildings.
· Police stations.
· News media facilities.
· Post offices.
· Communications centers.
· Transportation offices and motor pools.
· Prisons and other places of detention.
· Schools.
· Medical facilities.

Search Techniques include-

· Search teams of squad size organized in assault, support, and security elements.
One target is assigned per team.
· Room searches are conducted by two-person teams.
· Room search teams are armed with pistols, assault weapons, and automatic
weapons.
· Providing security for search teams screening operations and facilities.

Pre-search coordination includes-

· Between control personnel and screening team leaders.
· Study of layout plans.
· Communications, that is, radio, whistle, and hand signals.
· Disposition of suspects.
· On-site security.
· Guard entrances, exits (to include the roof), halls, corridors, and tunnels.
· Assign contingency tasks for reserve.
· Room searches conducted by two- or three-person teams.
· Immobilize occupants with one team member.
· Search room with other team member.
· Search all occupants. When available, a third team member should be the recorder.
· Place documents in a numbered envelope and tag the associated individual with a
corresponding number.

SCREENING AND DOCUMENTING THE POPULATION

Screening and documentation include following:

  • · Systematic identification and registration.
    · Issuance of individual identification cards containing-
    A unique number.
    Picture of individual.
    Personal identification data.
    Fingerprints.
    An official stamp (use different colors for each administration region).

Family group census cards, an official copy of which is retained at the local po-lice
agency. These must include a picture and appropriate personal data.

Frequent use of mobile and fixed checkpoints for inspection, identification, and registration
of documents.

Preventing counterfeiting of identification and registration documents by laminating
and embossing.

Programs to inform the population of the need for identification and registration.

Covert surveillance is a collection effort with the responsibility fixed at the intelligence/security division or detective division of the police department. Covert techniques, ranging from application of sophisticated electronics systems to informants, should include-

Informant nets. Reliability of informants should be verified. Protection of identity is
a must.

Block control. Dividing a community or populated area into zones where a trusted
resident reports on the activities of the population. If the loyalty of block leaders is
questionable, an informant net can be established to verify questionable areas.

now, right wing fuckbrains, how much do you sorry piles of shit trust your government now???

Do you think FISA/telecom immunity is a big deal or do you not?

IT's NOW TIME TO GET REAL.

Don't ply ME with rationalizations and tell me that

one-issue, vantity campaigner the Good Dr. "No" is the fucking new messiah,

I am sick to death of the emails and the comments.


I am sick to death of Ron and the Paul Bearers and the friggin
closet racists praying to their saint of covert racism
to deliver them from the Boogie Man. If you really think that fucked up
"patriot" is gonna give you 100% of your money,
you are fucking seriously deluded. Abolish the IRS!!

Of for Christ's sake! Give me a cane and I'll bash my own brains out
if I should fall for such utterly ridiculous pandering
to an overtaxed and increasingly sickened working class.

Don't you get a CLUE when someone gets up and tries to control
the crotch of women in America?

Are you really THAT friggin stoopid?

It's a diversion, pure diversion
and the real action is not putting up amateur lawn signs
and building up a vast network of worthless Google links
for a right wing ASSHOLE.

It's getting yourself armed with REAL information
taking your god-damned lives back since you still have them
Shutting off your Big Brother TVs and start talking seriously
with your neighbors, your coworkers, your loved ones

You might consider buying a tent and moving to DC and shutting that
SHITHOLE down with thousands/millions of others
when the announcement is made that

IT"S FUCKING TIME TO MOVE TO GET OUR RIGHTS ENSURED

Canadians! You better get this straight - do we sit by the sidelines and watch it all take place

Praying that the shit of Prime Minister

and his ridiculous, corrupted Ministers aren't "all that bad"

We can afford to sit it out and wait, cuz we are so lucky??

Is the choice merely to watch it . . . or are we next?

Do we get it at the same time??

Or do we use or precious moments to join together and stop the rot - no militarization and annexation of Canada - and say

"Not on our watch!"

It is truly time for mass organizing, bearing in mind that we, unlike our Fearless Leaders and poisoned media candy candidates are allowing them to bankrupt our future.

Here's the url for one update: http://ladybroadoak.blogspot.com/2008/02/northcom-ready-to-implement-martial-law.html

When you're over your shock, come back and check out this blog for some files you just might be looking for.

And I hope to hear you wrote to the ICC,

that you went to www.wexlerwantshearings.com

or signed my petitition on the petition site

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/global-people-for-the-impeachment-of-richard cheney

specifically for non-US citizens to sign as I decided enough was enough years ago.

We need a coalition of red-black-blue-yellow-purple-white-polka dot, psychedelic, bean counters, and everyone one else and we need it NOW. There are more of US than there are of THEM and if we get ourselves organized for the first time since Martin Luther King was shot (I was on my way to Tent City when it happened, folks! Meant to have my body on the line and help out others who were there, too), we need to make this information go out VIRAL -

The toxic poisons being released in this ARMED MADHOUSE are killing us all.

I hope you help me twist some arms to get that DVD out PRONTO, too!! And that includes information on the Canadian Charter of

Rights and Freedoms!

If anyone popping by wants to do something CONSTRUCTIVE, take this and make the links on the leaked document - showing how these things all interconnect and are PROVABLE, then please do and forward it to me and we'll up date this puppy.

GRASSROOTZ - NOW

IF even one of you geezers or gawkers emails me with "stay calm" out you go! You are forever stricken from my email or posting here. You have been warned.
