      <title>I am a Rebel. Pakistan stands with you, Imran Khan. </title>

      <description>Imran Khan may not have won the elections, but he sure has won the hearts and minds of people. This doesn't mean that the change he predicted has ended here, the change is just getting started. People all around Pakistan and the world are protesting the rigging that went on during the elections. People are starting to change themselves and awaken to a new, or 'naya' Pakistan.

Pakistan uses a British based Election system. Imran Khan's party Pakistan Thereek Insaf (Pakistan's movement for justice, or PTI) had previously just one seat in the national assembly, of him himself. His party rose from on just one seat to becoming the second largest party in Pakistan, taking over Bhutto's party the Pakistan's People's Party (or PPP). 

PTI also become the most dominant force in Pakistan's Khyber Paktunka province, one of the four provinces of Pakistan. 

 PMNL and PPP gained majority of their seats from the illiterate youth of Punjab and Sindh, respectively. PMNL (Pakistan's Muslim Noon League) is Nawaz Shariff's party, it has emerged as the largest party after winning majority seats in Punjab. Most of Pakistan's seats are contested in Punjab, the province with the largest population. 

Imran Khan won 3 of the 4 seats he was contesting in, 2 in Punjab and 1 in Khyber Puktunka. The 4th was in Lahore and lost due to rigging. Media outlets showed Imran Khan winning, but all of a sudden he lost? PMNL was accused of vote rigging, and protests are being done in Lahore to this day for that seat and many other seats alleged of vote rigging in Punjab.

MQM, which is Altaf Hussain's party, supposedly won the most seats in Karachi. There were video evidence of rigging. After winning, Altaf Hussain, who is a British citizen living in Britain, threatened to secede Karachi from Pakistan and to attack anyone who protests. There were many people who were going to vote for PTI in Karachi, but with the alleged rigging, they had their votes put to no use. Now, because of the threats Altaf Hussain made, Pakistanis living in London and all over the world have been contacting the British police and get Altaf Hussain arrested for terrorist threats. The British high commissioner had taken notice of this, and the British police had said that they have gotten 10,000s of calls.

Imran Khan may have been rigged of many seats, and not won the elections, but he has started the biggest change and trust in Pakistan's history. With this change and trust, in these 5 years we will struggle, and with God's will elect him as our next leader in the next election where the corrupt can't dare to think of doing what they did in this election.

      <title>Huge response shuts down City's ex-offender job fair</title>
      <pubDate>Sat, 18 May 2013 21:13:23 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - The City of Philadelphia shut down a career fair for ex-offenders today after an unexpected crowd of thousands showed  up, resumes in hand. There were lots of disappointed job seekers and potential employers this morning.

The city was expecting about 1,000 people to show up, but about three times that number were standing in a line that wrapped around the Municipal Services Building, across from City Hall. And when someone jumped the line, order collapsed.

There was no yelling, no shoving - just 3,000 people all trying to get into the job fair at once.

Everett Gillison, the deputy mayor for public safety, says the space designated for the event could not handle the crowd, so they closed it down shortly after it began. &quot;We took as many resumes as we could,&quot; he told  KYW Newsradio  afterward, &quot;but those that did not have resumes, we told them we were going to reschedule.  And we are going to reschedule it for the Convention Center.&quot; Of course there was frustration.

&quot;People want jobs,&quot; said one man.  &quot;In the city right now, with jobs it's just ridiculous trying to find one.  It's almost impossible.&quot; &quot;It's really hard out here,&quot; another man said.  How long had he been trying to get work? &quot;At least two years now.&quot;

Gillison says 25 employers were on hand for today's event.  Last year, he said, 1,000 people showed up and 435 people got jobs, so this year they advertised through &quot;partners.&quot; Then, Gillison says, it got on social media and snowballed.

Please See Our Sponsors:  Temple University Apartments  ^0  Vitality Caps  ^0  Social Shopping Network 
Produced for  DNA Super Science 

These are just a simple collection of you-have-have-to-look-for-it information regarding new  2012 DNA Breakthroughs  that outline overwhelming Human potentials. We have driven the research to the atomic level in weapon making and war, but we have not unlocked much human molecular information at all. In fact for the last 40+ years we have regarded the portions of material (this represents 95% of the total DNA material even) that house the control switch-like abilities in Humans as  Junk DNA  !? Mainstream Education, Mainstream Science and Mainstream News have and continue to omit this information from it' public presentations. There is very little information, out and certain individuals have been attacked for speaking out about it.</description>

      <description>As many of you know the brown moses blog and michael weiss are well known
they always get off the record statements from politicians their is talk going around
that the russians are going to sell out assad and the iranians.

now you might ask how the fuck is that going to happen putin would never do it
he would not be able to go back on his word and it would make him and russia
look like total fucking weak donkeys but look at the statements from Medvedev
about assad and what he done in libya Medvedev is totally pro western and
supports the FSA remember him attacking assad the FSB regime and putin
croines despises him and have in the last two years done everything to weaken
him in the media and the united russia party but all to no avail.

Medvedev are two very different people when it comes to russian foreign policy
and Medvedev is a moderating voice in putins ear Medvedev we are told took putin
and FSB hardliners to task and told them we are at war with the entire muslim
world just for the sake only some tiny ethnic shia group and the shia we are going
to loss and loss badly.

leaks have being starting to come out putin want the money the assad family owns
russia just over 14 billion and thats after cutting half the soviet debt so here it is
Medvedev has won the day and told putin its over sell them the rest of the weapons
take the money from iran who is paying for them just over 1.7 billion Bibi Netanyahu
will destroy them on the ground we will huff and puff and play the game we
will still kept our rep intact and not look weak at home when assad gets the
gadaffi treatment we will play the evil west card and we still keep our part
of the deal with the SNC for russian debt to be paid and the keep our base
in tartus all in all we we get what we wanted.</description>

      <description>Spanish priest dismissed after he's allegedly caught on camera performing oral sex on man  
Father Francisco Javier Ruiz was replaced by Bishop of Cartagena Manuel Lorca Planes after a cyclist's helmet-cam footage emerged. The priest says it's not him in the video. Spain's Diocese of Cartagena has removed Father Francisco Javier Ruiz as pastor of a church in Murcia after he was seemingly caught on video participating acts of a sexual nature with another man in a well-known &quot;cruising area.&quot;

A Spanish priest has been removed from his job after apparently being busted on camera performing oral sex on another man.
 
Father Francisco Javier Ruiz was dismissed from his position in the Churra section of the city of Murcia by Bishop of Cartagena Jose Manuel Lorca Planes on Wednesday.

It came after footage emerged purportedly showing him in an erotic embrace with a pal.was captured by cyclist Alejandro Mejias' helmet-cam.

Mejias was biking on trails through the wooded area of Los Cuadros de Murcia - an area reportedly popular with dog owners - when he stumbled across the pair,

He can be clearly heard uttering a profanity on seeing the two men.

The footage, uploaded to YouTube, has been seen more than 7,000 times and spread across Facebook and Twitter, reports La Verdad.

Ruiz claims it is not him in the images and has contacted police to have the clip destroyed, 

&quot;I have never been in the area and I do not recognize those images that you are describing. It is a montage,&quot; he added.


But Spanish media has widely reported that it is him in the video. A statement from the Diocesis of Cartagena said the priest had been replaced by Antonio Ballester Serrano.

      <description>

By Colbert King
East Germany's Ministry for State Security, also known as the Stasi, posed a major challenge during my three-year stint as an attache at the U.S. Embassy in Bonn during the 1960s. Detecting and preventing Stasi agents from penetrating the security of U.S. diplomatic facilities in West Germany was a 24-7 undertaking.

The East German secret police were even more ruthless and relentless in operations against their own citizens. Political suppression in that communist state was total. There was no room for dissent. Thousands of East Germans were arbitrarily imprisoned for &quot;internal security&quot; reasons.

So it was especially galling to learn upon returning to the states in 1969 that the FBI had a counterintelligence program, known as COINTELPRO, that was, in some ways, as pernicious as the threat we were working against overseas.

Senate hearings in the 1970s revealed that the FBI, under the guise of protecting national security, had treated rights guaranteed by the First Amendment as little more than a collection of antiquated wishes best ignored.

With its surveillance of citizens, infiltration of civil rights groups and disruption of legal activities, the FBI's counterintelligence program echoed the behavior of East Germany's Stasi. The FBIacknowledges on its Web site that &quot;COINTELPRO was later rightfully criticized by Congress and the American people for abridging first amendment rights and for other reasons.&quot;

Fortunately, Congress reined in the FBI, placing it behind, and not beyond, the Constitution.

Where are we now?

The revelations that the Justice Department had secretly seized journalists' phone records and that the Internal Revenue Service had targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status show that government's heavy hand has not been lifted. Are these examples of COINTELPRO revisited?

Not quite, though they are disturbing.

Governments spend millions to prevent secrets from falling into enemy hands. A Justice Department probe into a compromised Middle East intelligence operation last year was not focused on the surreptitious work of a foreign power. The unlawful disclosure came from within.

The Justice Department sought to discover who in the U.S. government allegedly told the Associated Press about a failed al-Qaeda plot in Yemen.

The compromised Yemeni operation differs from some breakdowns in national security for its cause. Chalk up that serious breach to hubris: the leaker's puerile chest-thumping about having bested a sworn enemy or, worse, a self-serving desire to burnish the Obama administration's credentials as an al-Qaeda slayer.

In this regard, the administration has only itself to blame.

On top of the mistakes made by a U.S. official leaking the nation's secrets, the administration compounded things by launching a dragnet for the records of callsreceived and made from 20 phone lines (including office, home and cell numbers) of the AP journalists in five area codes and three states.

Talk about power running amok.

Meanwhile, back in the bureaucracy, Internal Revenue Service workers were having a high old time putting conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status through hoops. IRS employees were instructed to be on the &quot;lookout&quot; for groups with &quot;tea party&quot; and &quot;patriot&quot; in their names, according to the report of the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration.

The acting IRS commissioner has already been forced to walk the plank, and more heads may roll. The IRS has a steep hill to climb to gain the public's trust. But there is one bright spot: This misbehavior was detected and exposed by government self-policing. Of course, the selective screening never should have occurred. But the inspector general system created to ferret out government fraud, waste and abuse worked in this case.

The Justice Department, meanwhile, is in an even deeper hole.

Who can take seriously the department's mission, as stated by its Office of Privacy and Civil Liberties, &quot;to protect the privacy and civil liberties of the American people&quot;?

Famed First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams told the Daily Beast this week that the Justice Department's broad seizure of journalists' phone records was &quot;certainly one of the most intense intrusions by the government into a pressroom that I can remember.&quot;

&quot;Why couldn't they put this issue before a judge?&quot; Abrams asked. &quot;What they have done is foreclose any meaningful response by the AP. This isn't just seeking a record of one journalist for one day. This is breaking and entering into the heart of the journalistic process of the Associated Press.&quot;

Media outlets covering D.C. affairs should also be concerned. Journalists who draw on confidential sources while aggressively covering the city's corruption scandal may now wonder if U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen is going after their phone records. After all, it was Machen's office that served the subpoenas in the AP case.

COINTELPRO? No. Unchecked government power? Yes.

Once government is ensnared in every aspect of life, a bureaucracy grows increasingly capricious. By  Mark Steyn 
Speaking at Ohio State University earlier this month, Barack Obama urged students to pay no attention to those paranoid types who &quot;incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity.&quot; Oddly enough, in recent days the most compelling testimony for this view of government has come from the president himself, who insists with a straight face that he had no idea that the Internal Revenue Service had spent two years targeting his political enemies until he &quot;learned about it from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this.&quot; Like you, all he knows is what he reads in the papers. Which is odd, because his Justice Department is bugging those same papers, so you'd think he'd at least get a bit of a heads-up. But no doubt the fact that he's wiretapping the Associated Press was also entirely unknown to him until he read about it in the Associated Press. There is a &quot;president of the United States&quot; and a &quot;government of the United States,&quot; but, despite a certain superficial similarity in their names, they are entirely unrelated, like Beyonc'e Knowles and Admiral Sir Charles Knowles. One golfs, reads the prompter, parties with Jay-Z, and guests on the Pimp with a Limp show, and the other audits you, bugs your telephone line, and leaks your confidential tax records. But they're two completely separate sinister entities. So it's preposterous to describe Obama as Nixonian: Beyonc'e wouldn't have given Nixon the time of day.If you believe this, there's a shovel-ready infrastructure project in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you. In April last year, the Obama campaign identified by name eight Romney donors as &quot;a group of wealthy individuals with less than reputable records. Quite a few have been on the wrong side of the law, others have made profits at the expense of so many Americans, and still others are donating to help ensure Romney puts beneficial policies in place for them.&quot; That week, Kimberley Strassel began her  Wall Street Journal  column thus:

Try this thought experiment: You decide to donate money to Mitt Romney. You want change in the Oval Office, so you engage in your democratic right to send a check.

Several days later, President Barack Obama, the most powerful man on the planet, singles you out by name. . . . The message from the man who controls the Justice Department (which can indict you), the SEC (which can fine you), and the IRS (which can audit you), is clear: You made a mistake donating that money.

Miss Strassel wrote that on April 26, 2012. Five weeks later, one of the named individuals, Frank VanderSloot, was informed by the IRS that he and his wife were being audited. In July, he was told by the Department of Labor of an additional audit over the guest workers on his cattle ranch in Idaho. In September, he was notified that one of his other businesses was to be audited. Mr. VanderSloot, who had never previously been audited, attracted three in the four months after being publicly named by  el Presidente . More to the point he attracted that triple audit even though Miss Strassel explicitly predicted in America's biggest-selling newspaper that this was exactly what the Obama enforcers were going to do. The &quot;separate, sinister entity&quot; of the government of the United States went ahead anyway. What do they care? If some lippy broad in the papers won't quit her yapping about it, they can always audit her, too - as they did to Miss Strassel's sometime colleague Anne Hendershott, a sociology professor who got rather too interested in Obamacare and wrote about it in the  Journal  and various small Catholic publications. The IRS summoned Professor Hendershott to account for herself, and forbade her husband from accompanying her, even though they filed jointly. She ceased her political writing.

A year after he was named to the Obama Dishonor Roll, the feds have found nothing on Mr. VanderSloot, but they have caused him to rack up 80 grand in legal bills. This is what IRS defenders (of whom there are more than there ought to be) mean when they assure us that the system worked: Yes, some rich guy had to blow through the best part of six figures fending off the bureaucrats, but it's not like his body was found in a trunk at the airport or anything, if you know what I mean, Kimmy baby.  

Mr. VanderSloot is big enough, just about, to see off the most powerful government on the planet. Most of those who've caught the eye of the IRS share nothing in common with him other than his political preferences. They're nobodies - ordinary American citizens guilty of no crime except that of disagreeing with the ruling party. Yet they were asked, under &quot;penalty of perjury,&quot; to disclose the names of books they were reading and provide the names and addresses of relatives who might be planning to run for public office - a kind of pre-enemies list. Is that banana-republic enough for you yet? Not apparently for Juan Williams, fired from NPR for thought crime a couple of years ago, but who was nevertheless energetically defending the IRS exertions on Fox News on Thursday evening.


Left-wing groups had their 501(c)(4) applications approved in weeks, right-wing groups were delayed for months and years and ordered to cough up everything from donor lists to Facebook posts, and those right-wing groups that were approved had their IRS files leaked to left-wing groups like ProPublica. The agency's commissioner, a slippery weasel called Steven Miller, conceded before Congress that this was &quot;horrible customer service&quot; - which it was in the sense that your call is important to him and may be monitored by George Soros for quality control.A civil &quot;civil service&quot; requires small government. Once government is ensnared in every aspect of life a bureaucracy grows increasingly capricious. The U.S. tax code ought to be an abomination to any free society, but the American people have become reconciled to it because of a complex web of so-called exemptions that massively empower the vast shadow state of the permanent bureaucracy. Under a simple tax system, your income is a legitimate tax issue. Under the IRS, everything  is a legitimate tax issue: The books you read, the friends you recommend them to. There are no correct answers, only approved answers. Drew Ryun applied for permanent non-profit status for a group called &quot;Media Trackers&quot; in July 2011. Fifteen months later, he'd heard nothing. So he applied again under the eco-friendly name of &quot;Greenhouse Solutions,&quot; and was approved in three weeks.

The president and the IRS commissioner are unable to name any individual who took the decision to target only conservative groups. It just kinda sorta happened, and, once it had, it growed like Topsy. But the lady who headed that office, Sarah Hall Ingram, is now in charge of the IRS office for Obamacare. Many countries around the world have introduced government health systems since 1945, but, as I wrote here last year, &quot;only in America does 'health' 'care' 'reform' begin with the hiring of 16,500 new IRS agents tasked with determining whether your insurance policy merits a fine.&quot; So now not only are your books and Facebook posts legitimate tax issues but so is your hernia, and your prostate, and your erectile dysfunction. Next time round, the IRS will be able to leak your incontinence pads to George Soros.

Big Government is erecting a panopticon state - one that sees everything, and regulates everything. It's great &quot;customer service,&quot; except that you can never get out of the store.
