Former Gov. of Alaska Sarah Palin speaks during the Faith and Freedom Coalition Road to Majority 2013 conference, Saturday, June 15, 2013, in Washington.

I say, until we know what we're doing, until we have a commander in chief who knows what he's doing, well, chief, in these radical Islamic countries who aren't even respecting basic human rights, where both sides are slaughtering each other as they scream over an arbitrary red line, 'Allah Akbar,' I say until we have someone who knows what they're doing, I say, let Allah sort it out." It's a sign of just how far Palin has diverged from her 2008 Republican presidential running mate Sen. John McCain, who has been one of the chief proponents of providing assistance to the rebels. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fc9_1371405212 aranger45 Sarah Palin on Syria: 'Let Allah Sort It Out' Sarah Palin, on, Syria:, 'Let, Allah, Sort, It, Out', you, mad, Libertards Sat, 15 Jun 2013 16:55:37 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=26c_1371329489 Detroit Iron The former vice presidential nominee was talking at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference on Saturday She rejected calls for an immigration overhaul - including the path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally She warned 'the good old boys' in the GOP leadership that she wouldn't tone down her aggressive conservative rhetoric She said recent scandals involving the IRS and the NSA make the country feel 'so Orwellian around here, you know, "1984'" On Monday she starts on 'Fox and Friends' as a commentator By DAILY MAIL REPORTER PUBLISHED: 14:39 EST, 15 June 2013 UPDATED: 15:35 EST, 15 June 2013 Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin has criticized the Obama administration's decision to supply weapons to the rebels in the civil war in Syria, arguing that the U.S. should 'Let Allah sort it out' until there is a stronger leader in the White House. 'Militarily, where is our commander in chief? We're talking now more new interventions. I say until we know what we're doing, until we have a commander and chief who knows what he's doing, well, let these radical Islamic countries who aren't even respecting basic human rights, where both sides are slaughtering each other as they scream over an arbitrary red line, "Allah Akbar," I say until we have someone who knows what they're doing, I say let Allah sort it out,' Palin said at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference on Saturday. The White House confirmed on Thursday that it had conclusive evidence that Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime has used chemical weapons against rebel forces. The use of weapons such as the nerve agent sarin crosses what President Barack Obama has called a 'red line' that would trigger greater American involvement in the crisis. Obama discussed the civil war in Syria with European leaders in a teleconference on Friday, and the issue is expected to dominate much of the conversation at next week's G-8 Summit in Northern Ireland. The White House is now considering arming the opposition fighters and enforcing a no-fly zone that could cost an estimated $50 million a day. The final speaker at the three-day Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference, former Alaska Gov. Palin rejected calls for an immigration overhaul that includes a path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally. Palin, who is rejoining Fox News Channel as an analyst less than half a year after they decided to part ways, also called Washington, D.C. 'one hot mess,' reports ABC News . She also offered a warning to 'the good old boys' in the GOP leadership who are calling for conservative activists to tone down aggressive rhetoric. 'You do not marginalize, you don't discredit and dismiss, every day average hard-working Americans - those who are part of that grass-roots tea party movement,' she said. 'Just let them tell us to sit down and shut up,' Palin said later, 'which I refuse to do.' She also took a swipe at another speaker at the conservative forum, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who argued Friday that one of the reasons to support the Senate's immigration reform plan is because 'Immigrants are more fertile.' 'I think it's kind of dangerous territory, territory to want to debate this whole one race's fertility rate over another, and I say this from someone who's kind of fertile herself,' Palin said. 'I don't think that's where we want to go in deciding how will we incentivize the hardworking responsible families who want to live in the light, follow the law, become Americans, versus those whose very first act on our soil is to break the law? There are different ways that we can debate this.' As she warned the conservative crowd of 'tyranny' in government, Palin said that the recent scandals involving the Internal Revenue Service and the National Security Agency make the country feel 'so Orwellian around here, you know, "1984.'" Palin's first appearance since returning to Fox is scheduled for Monday on the 'Fox &amp; Friends' morning show - on the same day CNN is premiering a morning show to great fanfare. Fox and Palin parted ways in January after she had worked there for three years as a contributor. They had talked about renewing their contract, but it didn't happen. Money may have been a factor: Palin was signed for a reported $1 million a year when she originally joined Fox less than two years after being John McCain's running mate. Fox News chief Roger Ailes said in a statement: 'I've had several conversations with Governor Palin in the past few weeks about her rejoining FOX News as a contributor. 'I have great confidence in her and am pleased that she will once again add her commentary to our programming. 'I hope she continues to speak her mind.' Palin also hit headlines this week for blasting comedian Bill Maher on Twitter Wednesday, saying she hopes his 'lily white a**' gets flattened, after he reportedly made a joke directed at her 5-year-old special needs son. Palin learned of the alleged joke from a conservative writer for Breitbart News, who attended Maher's stand-up show in The Pearl concert venue at The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas on Saturday. The writer, Ron Futrell, wrote in a blog that he attended the show with friends and became inflamed when Maher made a comment referring to Palin's son Trig, who has Downs Syndrome, as 'retarded.'

The big push for legislation to curb gun violence that followed Newtown peaked in April, in a Senate showdown where supporters of the bill were unable to get 60 votes to break a Republican-led filibuster. The Week's Jon Terbush noted earlier this week that this defeat took the wind out of the sails of the gun-control movement - and now, he says, "the prospect of gun control legislation getting a second wind seems unlikely." Senate Democrats, apparently, disagree. "The fight is not over, it has just begun," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday, flanked by families of the Newtown victims. "We may have lost the first vote, but we're going to win the last one," added Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.). They aren't just blowing hot air, says Jonathan Weisman in The New York Times . Congressional Democrats and the White House are quietly renewing their effort to pass gun safety legislation "amid delicate talks on a new background-check measure that advocates hope could change enough votes from no to yes." The number of votes needed is daunting, and Reid warned that any new measure can't be weaker than the one stymied in April, but this does provide supporters a concrete glimmer of hope. The quiet talks between two senators who voted against the bill, Mark Begich (D-Alaska) and Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) "officially do not exist," Weisman adds . Both lawmakers "deny the existence of negotiations or legislation." At the same time, "other senators are openly acknowledging and encouraging the effort and say the talks are building momentum." And if Begich and Ayotte switch their votes, supporters need at least three more nay-to-aye conversions. (Stand-in Sen. Jeffrey Chiesa is a wild card.) Supporters of the gun measures say that if Begich and Ayotte can reach a deal on background checks that's robust enough for Democrats and different enough to make vote-switching look credible, four other senators may join them. That would be enough to pass at least that part of the gun safety package. But none of the potential switchers are encouraging talk of a renewed push, and Democratic leaders are increasingly urging New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I) to put down one of his financial weapons, his threat to spend heavily to defeat Democrats who voted against the bill. A Republican-led Senate would spell the death of gun control, Reid says he told Bloomberg , to unknown effect: "He's kind of a free spirit, and a very rich one." Just because the "recalcitrant Senate succumbed to pressure from gun manufacturers and the NRA's leadership and failed to pass even the most modest measure" doesn't mean the post-Newtown gun control push has failed, say Robyn Thomas and Juliet Leftwich in the Los Angeles Times . Since the Newtown tragedy, gun regulation has made enormous gains in states across the country, with more on the horizon. In fact, an unprecedented number of gun control laws have been introduced, debated, voted on and enacted this year. What a difference Sandy Hook and six months have made.... In all, we've seen a year-to-year increase of 231 percent in the introduction of common sense gun-safety legislation nationwide. Los Angeles Times ] Even the Senate bill's defeat "was, in its way, a victory," say Thomas and Leftwich , who work for the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. The fact that it was introduced, that hearings were held, and that it got 55 votes represents progress. After the vote, several senators felt real repercussions from their decision to vote against the bill, including Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), whose approval rating dropped by more than 15 percent immediately after the background check vote. There are now real consequences for legislators who choose not to represent the will of their constituents on this issue.

What you spend. Where you eat. Whom you call. Where you travel. What you Google. What you give to charity. Recent reports of government access to records from phone companies, Internet providers and credit card companies raise anew questions of just how much other people can know about you, especially in the age of the Internet and high technology. They watch from the air, from cameras, from computers. And you help them, volunteering vast amounts of information about yourself in the magnetic stripe on the back of your credit card, the SIM card in your phone, the sites you visit on the Internet. The government has access to some of it. And might have access to more from the vast corporations that compile it. U.S. officials insist they only tap into information that points at suspected terrorists and that there are plenty of safeguards to make sure they don't snoop on good guys. "I want the American people to know that we're trying to be transparent here, protect civil liberties and privacy but also the security of this country," Gen. Keith Alexander, head of the National Security Agency, told Congress on Wednesday. He also acknowledged that the government could look at such things as phone records and what site someone Googled. All of it alarms civil libertarians. "We don't want to live in a world where anytime you do anything you have to stop and ask yourself, 'Could this come back to hurt me if somebody found out about it?' " said Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst for the American Civil Liberties Union. "Because absolutely nothing we do is private." Indeed. Here are just some of the ways Americans can be watched. Internet A quick Google search for a lunch spot? There's a record of that. Arranging a vacation? Someone knows where you're planning to go. Check in with Facebook? It tracks all the sites you visit that have "like" buttons or allow you to sign in with Facebook - pretty much all of them. If those Internet giants can record so much about you, who can look at this electronic diary? The government can access any emails, chats, searches, events, locations, videos, photos, log-ins and any information people post online with a warrant, which the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court can grant secretly. And the revelation of PRISM, a secret government program for mining major Internet companies, suggests the government could have direct access to Internet companies' data without a warrant. Every company reportedly impacted - Google, YouTube, Yahoo, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Skype, PalTalk and AOL - denied knowing about the program or giving any direct access to their servers. Email The government also might be able to look at your email. A warrant can grant access to email sent within 180 days. Older emails are available with an easier-to-get subpoena and prior notice. Government officials also could read all the ingoing and outgoing emails on an account in real time with a specific type of wiretap warrant, which is granted with probable cause for specific crimes such as terrorism. Google received 16,407 user data requests involving 31,072 users from the U.S. government in 2012. It granted about 90 percent of those requests. Microsoft, with its Outlook/Hotmail email service, received 11,073 requests involving 24,565 users, at least partially granting 65 percent of those requests. Phones With the advent of smartphones and SIM cards, cellphones are no longer strictly for storage of digits and 180-character short messages. We use cellphones to navigate road trips, buy vintage boots on eBay and watch the game when we're stuck on the subway. We deposit checks with a bank app and a camera, find the closest happy hour and board a train with the flash of a QR-code. Phones hold our coupons, our favorite cat videos and functions as a credit card when we forget ours at home. The NSA collects subscriber information from major cellphone carriers. This information is primarily based on metadata, such as location and duration of calls, along with numbers dialed, all in search of links to suspected terrorists. In 2011, the last year with available information, law enforcement agencies made 1.3 million requests for subscriber information. These government requests, both from 2011 and more recently from the NSA, are limited to metadata. That doesn't mean that the content of conversations is off-limits. To listen in, the government just needs a warrant, one that's granted through the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The court approves almost every request, fully denying just nine out of 33,900 government applications for surveillance over its 33-year existence, according to Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act reports submitted to Congress. The overwhelming rate stems in part because most requests go through an intense vetting process by department lawyers before ever going to the court, said Timothy Edgar, fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute for International Studies. By the time it gets in front of the court, he said, it's nearly foolproof. Credit cards Have a favorite spot where you buy your coffee? Uncle Sam might know where it is. It all starts with that stripe on the back of your credit card, which gets swiped through thousands of readers every year. That solid black bar is made up of millions of iron-based magnetic particles, each one 20-millionths of an inch wide. Each credit card owner has a personalized strip full of intimate data sitting right inside his or her pocket. Any purchase can be traced directly back to your wallet. And the NSA is doing just that, according to The Wall Street Journal. Although the scope of credit card tracking efforts are unknown, the Journal reported that the NSA has established relationships with credit card companies akin to those that they had established with phone carriers, which provide them with data under warrant, subpoena or court order. These former officials didn't know if the efforts were ongoing. What could they find? Based on the technology of the mag stripe, quite a bit. Even with just the metadata - digitally contained bits of information - on a credit card, they could most likely see when and where a purchase was made, and how much it cost. Cameras Whether they're walking to work, withdrawing money from an ATM or walking into their favorite local grocer, Americans could be within sight of one of the United States' estimated 30 million surveillance cameras. Police use them to monitor streets, subways and public spaces. Homeowners put them on their houses. Businesses mount them in stores and on buildings. In Boston, for example, the FBI used still photos and video pulled from cameras to identify suspects after the Boston Marathon bombing. The images showed the suspects making calls from their cellphones, carrying what the police say were bombs, and leaving the scene. New high-tech, high-definition security camera manufacturers give police departments the options of thermal imaging, 360-degree fields of view and powerful zoom capabilities for identifying people. Advances in camera technology enable new ways to monitor American citizens. Some states such as Colorado are using cameras as an alternative method of charging motorists toll fares. As a motorist drives through the toll lanes, motion-activated cameras capture an image of the license plate and the driver is billed. Cameras are watching if you speed or run a red light, too. Also, police departments in several metro areas began employing cameras to deter traffic infractions and raise revenue. Libertarians and electronic privacy advocates oppose these methods, citing a lack of transparency in the use of the cameras and the retention of the data they collect. Drones If Americans are not within sight of a camera, they could soon be spotted from the air. As many as 30,000 domestic drones will travel the skies above U.S. soil within 20 years, according to a report for Congress by the Federal Aviation Administration. Gearing up, Congress has called on the FAA to integrate unmanned aircraft into the national air system even sooner, by 2015. Already, the FAA has approved domestic drone use by 81 agencies, including schools, police departments and the Department of Homeland Security, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a group of privacy advocates. Among the applicants approved: the Arlington Police Department in Texas; California State University in Fresno; Canyon County Sheriff's Office in Idaho; the city of Herington, Kan.; the Georgia Tech Research Institute; Kansas State University; the Miami-Dade Police Department in Florida; the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources; Pennsylvania State University; the Seattle Police Department; and the Universities of Alaska at Fairbanks, California-Davis and Florida. In March, the American Civil Liberties Union addressed the dangers of domestic drones and warned of the surveillance capabilities of this technology. Although these drones range in size, most are able to hover tens of thousands of feet in the sky, collecting images of people on the ground below. "Based on current trends - technology development, law enforcement interest, political and industry pressure, and the lack of legal safeguards - it is clear that drones pose a looming threat to Americans' privacy," the ACLU report argued. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e73_1371252549 USMC_SRT All the ways you're being watched USA, NSA, Watching, You, Spying Fri, 14 Jun 2013 07:17:40 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a2f_1371208179 LostRothschild There's that lie again - "...90% of Americans who support background checks...". Keeps coming back like a bad penny. How were the children "slaughtered" and the adults only "killed"? Were they murdered in a different way? How are their deaths less offensive CNN? Why are their lives worth less? all they ever to is show victims and then talk about gun control that is the only answer to the problem- gun control and guns in the hands of law abiding people is the only unspoken yet firmly targeted CAUSE of gun violence. Pure propaganda on CNN's part. ======================================================================= Has the moment passed? Why gun control push fizzled Washington (CNN) -- Six months after a gunman burst into a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school and slaughtered 20 children and killed six others, promises of stricter national gun control laws remain largely unfulfilled. And though the families of those lost made yet another pilgrimage to Washington this week to plead for action in meetings with the two top House Republicans, it is highly unlikely that lawmakers will act. After the meeting Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner said the discussions were "very good." Boehner declined to say much more about the discussion with the group, but Majority Leader Eric Cantor, who was also at the meeting, told reporters, "I was struck again by the incredible pain that they are going through. I just can't imagine as a parent that kind of pain. My heart goes out to them." Backers of gun control proposals were unable to advance legislation in the Senate centered on expanded background checks earlier this year, even after a high-profile push. The House never took up the measures. Newtown parents fight release of photos Costas: There will be another Newtown Are there too many gun laws already? Obama angry about gun bill failure President Barack Obama lashed out when the Senate effort faltered, calling the defeat a "pretty shameful day for Washington." The political climate isn't right. Politically vulnerable moderate Democrats eyeing the 2014 midterm elections don't want to risk political capital by voting to pass both an immigration overhaul and comprehensive gun control legislation, said CNN senior political analyst David Gergen. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's recent move to discourage funding the four Democratic senators who voted against shoring up background checks on gun sales will largely amount to a "symbolic" gesture, Gergen said. Two of the four -- Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Arkansas, and Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, -- are facing re-election in 2014. Leading Democrats are also dubious about the overall impact of such a move. "The only way to pass a background check bill is to maintain a Democratic majority in the Senate, and any efforts that make that less likely are counterproductive," said Adam Jentleson, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. "Ninety percent of Democrats agree with the 90% of Americans who support background checks, and a Republican majority would guarantee that no background check bill passes in the foreseeable future," he said. There's also no incentive for the Republican-controlled House to take up gun control as an issue. That chamber's leaders have said they won't bring the matter up until the Senate acts. In either case, it seems as if the nation has moved on. Though national polls taken after the Newtown shooting showed that roughly 90% of Americans supported some form of universal background checks, less than half of those polled were upset by the Senate's failure to pass that type of measure, according to a Washington Post/Pew Research Center poll. "I'm afraid the moment has probably passed," Gergen said. After the Newtown shooting, gun control advocates redoubled their efforts with a nation mourning the loss of school children. The issue also galvanized the Obama administration. However, they have thus-far been outmatched by efforts of a powerful gun lobby and a motivated and vocal interest group, the National Rifle Association, said Jon Vernick, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research. However, this year's defeat may could still result in eventual legislative change, Vernick said. In the absence of congressional action on a slate of gun control measures ranging from an assault weapons ban to expanded background checks, many states have taken matters into their own hands. While some states like Connecticut and New York have strengthened laws, others have done the opposite. Undaunted by congressional inaction, the White House is still pushing for tighter laws. Vice President Joe Biden recently shared his confidence that Congress will act with fellow Democrats in an e-mail and chastised Republicans during a recent fundraiser for not supporting expanded background checks for gun sales. Biden is also holding a gun control event at the White House next week. Biden, a former senator, and Reid are also reportedly in talks on how best to resurrect related legislation. "I am not going to bring up a vote just to have a vote," Reid said last week. "I want to bring up this vote again if we can accomplish something that seems pretty common sense to me. If you have severe mental problems or you are a criminal you shouldn't be able to buy a gun. That's what, I agree with 90% of the American people, we should get this done."

Human to Human transmission is the government's public pandemic focus. 2. A direct question about Pigeon to Human transmission was side stepped. (classified?) 3. H7N9 is a great concern because of: The unusually rapid explosion in the number of cases The minimal number of bird infections detected The rapid adaptation to mammalian receptors 4. The vaccine will be laced with ASO3 or MF59 adjuvants 5. Adjuvants tied to Narcolepsy will be correlated with the manufacturer and not the adjuvant. 6. The Non-adjuvant dose would be 90 mcg, and take 18 months and 10's of BILLIONS of dollars to produce. (Was giving away data on our National defense capability a security slip up on their part?) 7. The H7N9 vaccine will be given in two shots: The person will be "primed" with a shot containing a live attenuated virus The person will later receive a second shot with an inactivated virus 8 Only the two shot pattern generates a "Robust and Rapid" immunogenic response to the H7N9 vaccine. 9. The vaccine will not give immunity, rather only lessen the symptoms 10. Alaska is the natural path for a H7N9 pandemic to spread 11.

One of their choices is a cat who vows to 'rid the city of rats.' Literally, but also in the sense of corrupt politicians. In response to politics as usual, two students in the eastern Mexican city have nominated a cat named Morris for mayor. If elected, they say Morris will eat, sleep, yawn and continue other cat activities as usual, which is what makes him a good candidate. 'Candidates here almost never fulfill their promises,' said Jair Cueves, one of the students behind the Morris campaign to ABC News . 'Out candidate promises to sleep, eat, yawn and play in the dirt and that is what he will do if he wins the election.' The students set up a Facebook page and Twitter account for Candigato Morris, both of which have gone viral, becoming popular not only in Xalapa, but also across Mexico. If Facebook likes are any indicator of popularity, then Morris is actually the lead in the race - by a lot. As of Saturday evening, Candigato Morris has over 70,000 likes, crushing the human frontrunner Americo Zu~niga's 30,000. Local journalist Melina Zurita believe that Morris' popularity is due to wide-spread disappointment in Mexican politics. 'The feelings are not just shared by people in Xalapa,' Zurita told ABC. While Morris can't actually hold the office of Mayor of Xalapa, his campaign are urging people to write him in on election day anyway to make a statement about the city's politicians. While votes for Morris won't be valid, according to Xalapa officials, campaign officials believe continuing to vote for the cat will be a symbolic win. Surprisingly, this isn't the first time a cat has won a mayoral election. In 1997, Stubbs a part-Manx cat was elected mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, as a write-in candidate. While Stubbs was not allowed to officially hold the position, he was given the title of honorary mayor.

Video provided by the Interior Ministry shows police catching the men on Shishkin Street in Vladivostock, with an inspection of their vehicle revealing about 750 fresh, individual trepangs held in plastic containers. Trepangs, a medicinal and culinary delicacy in China, are the harvested form of the sea cucumber, a long, marine echinoderm prevalent throughout global waters. After the arrest, police raided the residence of the men and discovered a workshop for drying of trepangs, as well as Chinese money, identification cards, and documents. Further, police discovered an illegal skin of the rare Amur tiger, the world's largest big cat, in a closed bag in the residence. Police believe that the men are nationals of the People's Republic of China. Fisheries dedicated to commercially raising trepang exist throughout China and fishery markets across the globe, including in Central America, Australia and Alaska, specialise in gathering trepang for export. A kilogram of trepang can cost as much as $1000 (EUR765). However, a vibrant black market exists for the highly prized commodity, with prices for a kilo of trepang as high as $300 (EUR230). Some scholars claim that trepang has been popular in Chinese markets for thousands of years, but official Chinese records indicate that it achieved widespread popularity around the 17th and 18th centuries. http://ruptly.tv/ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=af0_1370464853 cathy winslow Endangered animal smugglers arrested in Russian Far East Sea cucumbers,amur tiger skin,trepang
