The Changing Face Of Sectarianism In Iraq, An Interview With Research Fellow At National Univ of Singapore Fanar Haddad
Sectarianism is a constant point of discussion when talking about Iraq.

Government Says Secret Court Opinion on Law Underlying PRISM Program Needs to Stay Secret
Mark Rumold and David Sobel
*EFF*
In a rare public filing in the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court (FISC), the Justice Department urged continued secrecy for a 2011
FISC opinion finding government surveillance to be unconstitutional.
Significantly, the activities at issue were carried out under the
controversial legal authority that underlies the National Security Agency’s
recently-revealed PRISM program.
EFF filed a suit under the Freedom of Information Act in August 2012,
seeking disclosure of the FISC ruling. Sens. Ron Wyden and Mark Udall

Department of Justice: drone strikes on American citizens are legal because Obama and Holder said so
"Where law ends tyranny begins"

In a court filing this week, Justice Department lawyers claimed that the
Obama administration’s drone strikes that have admittedly killed four
American citizens are constitutional in part simply because Eric Holder and
Barack Obama said so.
While this might seem absurd to the point that it seems like it should be

Report states tech giants worked with government surveillance program, companies deny role in PRISM
Madison Ruppert
The New York Times reports that the Internet giants involved in the secret
PRISM surveillance program agreed to cooperate with the government. The
same companies have issued denials which some argue are actually cleverly
worded attempts to obscure their involvement.
All of this comes in response to the reports exposing the NSA’s massive
surveillance program known as PRISM which gives them access to the servers
of some of the largest Internet companies which was quickly defended by
Obama. The information about PRISM was released shortly after it was

NASA: “Clouds Behaving Strangely”

Noctilucent clouds, clouds that can only be seen when the Sun is below the

which are the highest in altitude of all the clouds are normally very
faint, often too faint to be seen with the naked eye, but they become
visible when illuminated by sunlight shining up from below the horizon.
Their appearance earlier in the year than usual may hint that there are

Sunday Question for Everyone
Sorry, on the run, so I'm going to do just one question today and I suspect
it's one that I've asked before. But it's newly relevant now, and so:
during the 2016 election, are civil liberties/surveillance issues important
in the nomination battles? In one party, the other, or both? Are they
important in the general election?
By "important" I'm just talking about what the candidates talk about and
what the press talks about. No matter what, these types of issues are
extremely unlikely to move votes, but there's more to elections than what
moves votes.

Bayou Corne Sinkhole, Louisiana
*Weaving our way through clouds and some feisty winds, we made a quick trip
over to the Bayou Corne sinkhole again today. We were eager to see it,
since learning a few days ago that the berm (built since the sinkhole
started expanding significantly last August) on the west and south side of
the sinkhole had collapsed. Indeed, as our video and photos from today

Democracy and Efficiency
Corruption is always rooted in human character. But these days -- at least
in Canada -- Robert Sibley suggests that it might also have something to do
with the cult of efficiency:
Indeed, our culture of expediency is in some ways the consequence of a
technologically-minded attitude that regards efficiency and effectiveness
as the central purpose and goal of governance. The essence of technology,
as the philosophers teach, is efficiency. The whole point of technology is
to close as best as possible the gap between means and ends. The fondness
of Trudeau and his successors for “cent... more »

In 1848, Workers Could Barely Feed Their Families And There Was No Hope For Change
No one had Twitter in 1848, the first Spring of Nations. That was probably
lucky for the plutocrats and kings of the day, who crushed the
pan-continental revolutionaries, barely breaking a sweat. Erdogan is having
a tougher time in Turkey these days-- and he's blaming Twitter. (They used
to always blame "the Jews" for these things.) In 1848 there were almost

RIP Argeo Paul Cellucci
I knew Paul Cellucci. He was the acting Governor at the time back in
the late 90's when I pumped gas at a service station which was owned by a
guy who got his start working for Cellucci's father Junior, the longtime
Hudson Chamber of Commerce president, who'd founded Washington Street
Motors. If you spoke to Cellucci, you immediately were faced with this
stultifying sense of dullness of personality, with an indistinct voice
that, like Gerald Ford, would and could not be easily emulated by political
impressionists. And yet, despite being uncharismatic even as far as

Adolf Hitler's decaying bunker in what was then East Berlin. Disguised as a

revealed his work.
Robert Conrad knew things could get uncomfortable. There were the guards,
the explosions, the dark tunnels. He could easily stumble across a

Fracking The Government-USA
“When you can no longer frack the media and you can no longer frack the
community, what the gas industry is trying to do is go in there and frack
the government,” Fox said. “And they’re doing a really good job of it. And
people have to be outraged by this and people have to go in and take back
our democracy because right now, it’s wholly under the thumb of oil and
gas. And this sounds like I’m saying things that are a little bit
outrageous, but it’s not.” Josh Fox
Consumers Discover Self-Publishing
All Media sectors are having to adapt to changing and often disruptive
markets. The once predictable economies of scale and scope that kept order

independent of the big studio and production model and consumers are
increasingly accepting rough cuts alongside the traditional polished

What the Labour/BBC alliance don't tell you
'Much highlighted by the BBC and others last week was the centrepiece of
what Ed Balls, the shadow chancellor, called his "tough" plans to reduce
our public-spending deficit: his promise to scrap the £200 winter-fuel
allowance to higher tax-rate pensioners. This, he proudly claimed, would
save £100 million a year. What was not explained – by him or the BBC – was
that, since our borrowing is running at £120 billion a year, this saving
would only cover seven hours of the year. That leaves a mere 8,753 hours in
the year for which Mr Balls has to come up with another "tough" plan.'

MPs want to turn your lights off. A shame no one told you - Telegraph
' By 2020, it said, Britain must reduce its electricity use by "103
terawatt hours", rising by 2030 to "154 terawatt hours". This could have
been understood only by someone aware that we currently use each year some
378 "terawatt hours". So what was being proposed was that this must be cut
down in six years by 27 per cent – more than a quarter – rising 10 years
later to a cut of more than 40 per cent, or two fifths.'
