The NSA regularly shares raw US intelligence data with Israel without even removing information about American citizens, according to the latest revelation published by the Guardian. The report is based on a document leaked by Edward Snowden.

On Tuesday, September 11, the Guardian published a previously undisclosed document which revealed top-secret policies in place since 2009 that are used to share personal phone and Internet data pertaining to United States citizens with American ally Israel.

The document, a five-page memorandum authorized by the National Security Agency near the beginning of US President Barack Obama's first administration, outlines a deal between the NSA and Israel's SIGINT National Unit, or ISNU.

The Syria researcher and commentator who was cited by US leaders who have called for military action against the Middle Eastern country has been fired from her Washington-based think tank for lying about her qualifications.

"The Institute for the Study of War has learned and confirmed that, contrary to her representations, Ms. Elizabeth O'Bagy does not in fact have a Ph.D. degree from Georgetown University," the research group announced in an online statement Wednesday. "ISW has accordingly terminated Ms. O'Bagy's employment, effective immediately."

Both US Secretary of State John Kerry and Senator John McCain referenced an editorial she had written in the Wall Street Journal during congressional hearings during which they argued in favor of US military strikes against Syria. The 26-year-old wrote that "contrary to many media accounts, the war in Syria is not being waged entirely, or even predominantly, by dangerous Islamists and Al-Qaeda die-hards."

During a short interview with Germany's DW News last Monday, former US National Security Adviser and Trilateral Commission co-founder Zbigniew Brzezinski commented on the growing inefficiency of war due to the increased political knowledge of the public.

"Given the contemporary reality of what I have called in my writings 'Global Political Awakening,' a policy of force based primarily on Western and in some cases former colonial powers does not seem to me a very promising avenue to an eventual solution to the regional problem," said Brzezinski, referring to the situation in Syria.

Despite Brzezinski's noted long-term relationship with Obama which included a top foreign policy adviser position, Brzezinski denied any specific knowledge of his plans regarding Syria, saying that if the administration has a strategy, it's a "very well-kept secret."

Nigel Farage on the Green Agenda in the EU: "It is time to stop this stupidity"

My thanks to Michele Casati for the Heads-up on this blistering three minute speech by UKIP leader Nigel Farage in the European Parliament. He lambasts EU supremo Jose Manuel Baroso for the stupidity of the Green Agenda pursued by the E.U.'s leadership over the last decade, and the fuel poverty and industrial flight it has caused. Baroso's following two minute hate is well worth a watch too. In it he claims the scientific consensus on global warming is now up to 99%. It'll be 104% next year and all targets for the five year plan will have been met...


Keep fighting everyone. We are winning.

    One thousand 9/11 first responders have been diagnosed with cancer since coming into contact with Ground Zero - and doctors expect the number to rise

    More than 1,100 who rushed to the aid of those stricken on 9/11 have been diagnosed with cancer directly related to the September 11 attacks.

    According to the Center for Diseases Control's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), 1,140 people have been officially classed as suffering from a WTC-related cancer and that number is expected to grow.

    'There are more cases out there, because we just know of the people in our government-funded medical programs, not those who have been treated by their private doctors,' said Dr. Jim Melius, chairman of the WTC Responder Medical Program, to the New York Daily News.

    Toxic Debris: Firefighters make their way over the ruins through clouds of smoke as work continues at ground zero 11 October, 2001 in New York, one month after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center

    The NIOSH figures are as recent as August and a Mount Sinai Medical Center study also found a 15 percent higher cancer rate among 9/11 responders than those who were not exposed to the toxic cloud that bellowed out from Ground Zero.

    'Because of the carcinogens in the air at ground zero, people who were exposed are vulnerable. And with cancer, there is a delay,' said Dr. Melius to the New York Daily News.

    Vladimir Putin's New York Times op-ed: 'A plea for caution from Russia'

    What Putin Has to Say to Americans About Syria

    Recent events surrounding Syria have prompted me to speak directly to the American people and their political leaders. It is important to do so at a time of insufficient communication between our societies.

    Relations between us have passed through different stages. We stood against each other during the cold war. But we were also allies once, and defeated the Nazis together. The universal international organization - the United Nations - was then established to prevent such devastation from ever happening again.

    The United Nations' founders understood that decisions affecting war and peace should happen only by consensus, and with America's consent the veto by Security Council permanent members was enshrined in the United Nations Charter. The profound wisdom of this has underpinned the stability of international relations for decades.

    Another Nineteen suspects - Mind bending 9/11 'coincidences'

    Interview with author Kevin Ryan on Guns and Butter radio show


    The best book on the people around (and perhaps behind) 9/11: Another 19 by Kevin Ryan.

    Image
    The "other 19" is group of insiders who have been running together for decades, some of them going as far back as the Nixon administration.

    They're specialists in things like "continuity of government", coups, advanced demolition techniques, arms smuggling, covert military operations, news media manipulation, money laundering, covert dealings with Middle Eastern terrorists, security systems for the World Trade Center, and air defense systems.

    They're proven killers, liars, and thieves who have demonstrated they'll do just about anything to get what they want.

    As a group, these 19 actually ran US air defense system AND security for the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. They also managed the clean up and the (laughable) investigation, set post-attack military plans, and explained it all - including the "need" to invade Iraq to the press.

    They were involved in things like the Phoenix Program, drug running in Vietnam, Iran Contra, the First Gulf War...

    All in all a very experienced group - with close ties to the Bush family and its cronies - that was more than capable of pulling 9/11 off. See more here.

    The drill involved what appeared to be a plane on fire. Boston Logan Airport tweeted the smoke and fire was part of a drill.

    Heavy black smoke could be seen drifting over the airfield.

    The tweet sparked several other tweets asking why authorities would choose September 11 to conduct a drill involving a plane on fire.
