Google knows what's in your email before you do

Once the fact was out, the internet giant tried to get a judge to help them hide it again.

Back in February, in a San Jose courtroom, a bombshell was dropped that could have been erased from the public record.

It turns out that Google, which bases its business on collecting and analyzing huge reams of data for advertising purposes, has been scanning users' emails even before users have a chance to open or read them, including email messages that are deleted without being opened. Google knows what's in your email before you do.

The revelation came in a now-settled legal dispute over Google's Gmail service. Dozens of the nation's largest newspapers and media companies fought to make sure that the case - and its wide-ranging implications for Internet users - received a full public airing. It has been an unfolding drama ever since, affecting what analysts estimate are 500 million Gmail users worldwide.

Google tried, and failed, to redact information about its email scanning process from a transcript of a public court hearing. Last month, the judge in the case ruled that portions of the transcript from that February hearing could not be redacted retroactively, since that would be tantamount to closing a public courtroom.

Chutzpah writ large! Israel making profit from reconstructing the Gaza they themselves demolished

A row is brewing over claims that Israel is earning millions of euros from a de facto policy of preventing non-Israeli reconstruction aid from entering the Gaza Strip.

At least 65,000 people in the Gaza Strip are homeless after the recent seven-week conflict. Infrastructure ranging from water desalination centres to power plants lies in ruins.

No formal Israeli ban prevents the import of reconstruction materials that were not made in Israel, but EU sources speaking on condition of anonymity say that in practice, Israeli security demands present them with a fait accompli.

"If you want aid materials to be permitted to enter, they will almost inevitably come from Israeli sources," an EU official said. "I don't think you'll find it written down anywhere in official policy, but when you get to negotiate with the Israelis, this is what happens. It increases construction and transaction costs, and is a political problem that has to be dealt with."

Comment: This is shameless and outrageous! It takes a pathocracy to come up with making profit out of the destruction they just wrecked on their helpless victims.

NATO summit warmongers watch a flyby...French President Hollande makes a habit of embarrassing the French people.
Two days ago, following French president Hollande's announcement that France would not deliver the Mistral warship that was bought, paid for (and partially built) by Russia, I wrote on my Facebook page:

"Today, I am surfeited with the insanity on this planet. I left the US because of the madness there, Bush invading Iraq; now, the contagion seems to have spread everywhere."

I wasn't just saying that for effect, I was definitely plunged into a black hole of despair at the realization that there really isn't a single leader of any so-called civilized Western country, who has two neurons firing and an ounce of conscience.

Video: U.S. intelligence veterans ask Merkel to prevent Ukraine war

merkel wants war
With the escalating Ukrainian crisis towards the top of the agenda at this week's NATO summit in Wales, a group of former American intelligence workers appeal to Angela Merkel. In their open letter, they hit out at the US, saying the evidence it has provided is dubious and politically motivated. RT talks to Ray McGovern, a former CIA analyst who is among the signatories.

Comment: Read the entire letter at Ex-NSA and intelligence veterans warn Merkel on U.S. lies concerning 'Russian invasion' of Ukraine

Is Facebook manipulating your news feed without your knowledge?

Image

The Land Destroyer Report maintained a Facebook page under the name Anthony Cartalucci. Since 2009 it was used to express my personal thoughts regarding the news of the day, as well as share relevant links with followers. Today, Facebook, without warning or opportunity to appeal, decided that the Facebook account must be changed over to a "page." By doing so, all those following my account no longer would receive updates, because of Facebook's "news feed" filters.

The premise behind news feed filters is that people have too many "friends" and are following too many accounts, so they can't possibly manage all the content themselves. Therefore, Facebook will do it for them. We already know about the Facebook "experiment" where they intentionally manipulated the news feed of hundreds of thousands of Facebook users without their consent.

Pepe Escobar: Will NATO liberate Jihadistan?

Drive your cart and your plow
Over the bones of the dead ...

- William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
Caliph Ibrahim, aka Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, self-declared leader of Islamic State, formerly the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, really sports a mean PR vein. When the show seemed scheduled for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to save Ukraine and Western Civilization - at least rhetorically - from that Evil Empire remixed, Russia, The Caliph, accessing his expensive watch wisdom, intervened with - what else - yet another "off with their heads" special.

Eyebrows were properly raised until the United States' intel alphabet soup solemnly concluded that Islamic State (IS) really beheaded yet another American journalist on video (US President Barack Obama: "An horrific act of violence").

And then, out of the blue, The Caliph doubled down, proclaiming to the whole world his next target is none other than Russian President Vladimir Putin. Was he channeling the recently ostracized Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan, aka Bandar Bush?

Reports of a possible "False Flag" chemical attack in eastern Ukraine

We bring to the consideration of readers an important video interview.

Unnamed sources in the Kiev government have leaked the Junta's intent to use chemical weapons against the people of Donbass.

The last time "Strelkov" warned about a similar occurrence, a few days later Kiev forces attacked a chemical plant.

Fortunately, the missiles and rockets which were fired by Kiev forces missed their target.

Had they succeeded, this would have resulted in countless deaths.

Interview with Alexander Ivanovich Zhilin, journalist and military experton Abkhazian Network News Agency (ANNA News)'s program called "Actually". The subtitles are in German. An English transcript is available below.
"If we do everything we can now to make this information widely known, then we will pull the rug from under the Kiev Junta"
Below is a translation (English) of this important ANNA News interview.

Comment: While we cannot be certain of the validity of this information, we do know for a fact that the powers that be have a long history of instigating false flag attacks to further their own cause and sway the public opinion. The downing of MH17 is one of the most recent examples, where the plan was to demonize Russia and Putin. We also can't forget "Assad gassed his own people" that happened last year in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta, where the goal was to show the world how bad Assad was and to justify the U.S. goal of overthrowing the Syrian government.

Steven Sotloff beheading: What you're not being told


Beheaded journalist Sotloff had info rebels used chemical weapons and believed being kidnapped by Al-Qaeda would earn their trust

Journalist Steven Sotloff who was kidnapped and beheaded by ISIS believed the Syrian rebels possessed and possibly used chemical weapons on Aleppo and wanted to report it leaked conversations show. American foreign fighter Matthew Vandyke who fought along side the Libyan insurgency and also went to Syria on a pro-Syrian rebel mission, revealed to Sotloff that he had information that Syrian rebels posed chemical weapons before they were used in Aleppo.

In another conversation Sotloff told Vandyke that he believed being kidnapped by Al-Qaeda group Jabhat al-Nusra would be a way to earn their trust. Vandyke agreed claiming some of the best connections he made with Al-Qaeda groups were after being 'arrested'. In another conversation Vandyke was very eager to meet with the Al-Qaeda group Jabhat al-Nusra and network with them.

The conversations where leaked by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) who hacked Vandyke's email and Facebook account. A zip file of several hundreds of conversations can be downloaded here. Vandyke has confirmed that his Facebook account and email were hacked by the SEA as well as stating that his comments about rebel chemical weapons were true, and other individuals have also authenticated that the leaked conversations are real and accurate.

The West brings doublethink to brain damaging pitch on their blind path to war

In October 1962, the United States threatened to go to war with Russia over the Cuban missile crisis. That high-stakes drama came about after Washington learned that Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev had overseen the installation of ballistic missiles on the Caribbean island, some 90 miles from the US mainland.

Never mind that the nascent military alliance between Moscow and the socialist government of Fidel Castro was an inviolable matter between two sovereign states - Washington was apoplectic that Soviet missiles were permitted anywhere near its territory. The then US President John F Kennedy was impelled to go to war over the issue, even if that meant igniting an all-out thermonuclear conflagration.

Comment: The Western "leaders" of today have displayed time and time again that they are psychopathic. They have no appreciation for anything, facts included. Thus, they continue to march their puppets head-long into a fantasy future of "total hegemony" while reality looks more like the brick wall of a collapse scenario.

So while the "leaders" bluster about war with nuclear-armed Russia, reality is sneaking up quickly. Ebola, earth changes and the decline of the dollar, with the rise of the BRICS, makes the approaching "hangover" especially painful for the West.
