Brazil President Dilma Rousseff Condemns US Mass Spying before UN General Assembly

Wednesday September 25, 2013

Brazil President Dilma Rousseff started the 68th session of the United Nations General Assembly with fireworks Tuesday, using her first speaking position among national government leaders to condemn US government spying on the people of her nation and of many other nations. Rousseff explained in the English written version of her speech:

We face, Mr. President, a situation of grave violation of human rights and of civil liberties; of invasion and capture of confidential information concerning corporate activities, and especially of disrespect to national sovereignty.

We expressed to the Government of the United States our disapproval, and demanded explanations, apologies and guarantees that such procedures will never be repeated.

Friendly governments and societies that seek to consolidate a truly strategic partnership, as in our case, cannot allow recurring illegal actions to take place as if they were normal. They are unacceptable.

US Attack on Syria Would Be Cash Cow for Military Contractors

Friday September 13, 2013

US military contractors are ready to rake in hundred of millions of dollars from missile sales alone if the US launches a "limited" attack on Syria. Ray Downs describes the details in Vice:

US Customs and Border Protection Rolls Out Unconstitutional Searches Far from Borders

Thursday September 12, 2013

US Customs and Border Protection appears to be engaged in the dragnet detaining of general aviation pilots and searching of private airplanes around the country. Expect this program to quickly expand if immigration legislation that increases border-industrial complex funding and manpower becomes law.

As exposed this week in the Toledo Blade, at least 42 members of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association have informed the association that CBP has searched their private airplanes without reasonable suspicion the airplanes were involved in any criminal activity, much less the probable cause and warrant required by the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution. CBP's new activities also seem to be unrelated to the agency's customs and border protection responsibilities given that AOPA notes many of the planes searched never flew near a US border.

NH City Council Approves Acquiring Tank Despite Public Opposition

Monday September 9, 2013

The Concord, New Hampshire city council voted tonight to acquire a Lenco BearCat G3 tank. The acquisition passed by a vote of 11 to 4 despite  hundreds of people coming to the city council meeting last month in opposition. Public pressure had also caused the Concord police chief to back off his ludicrous claim that he needed the tank to fend off a terrorism threat posed by the Free State Project and Occupy New Hampshire.

RPI Board Members Speak Out Against US Attack on Syria

Friday August 30, 2013

RPI Advisory Board Members Rep. John J. Duncan, Jr. and former Rep. Dennis Kucinich are speaking out in opposition to a US military attack on Syria.

US Rep. Duncan, in a television interview in his home state of Tennessee, engages the issue with clear, straightforward comments as he often engages legislation on the House of Representatives floor. Among other comments in the short interview, Duncan notes that "We don't need to be getting involved in a civil war in Syria. We don't have a vital national interest over there," and "We seemingly are almost in a state of permanent war, and I don't believe that our people want us to be in a state of permanent war, and I don't believe we can afford it."

NYPD Muslim Surveillance and Mosque Infiltration Exposed

Friday August 30, 2013

On the heels of a court deciding the New York City police department's stop-and-frisk program violates constitutional search and seizure limitations, the Associated Press reports the NYPD has for years engaged in the infiltration of mosques and and the large-scale, dragnet surveillance of Muslims. It appears this Muslim surveillance program, like the stop-and-frisk program, does not require a credible determination of probable cause that the people targeted are engaged in unlawful activities. The AP story begins with the following revelation of the scope of the surveillance program:

For the Back to School List—Military Recruiter Opt Out Form

Saturday August 17, 2013

While shopping for pens, notebooks, or a backpack, don't forget to consider adding one more item to your back to school list—a military recruiter opt out form. All government school systems and most private schools that receive education funding from the United Stated government are required to provide to military recruiters high school students' names, addresses, and telephone numbers, plus any additional information about the students provided to colleges or prospective employers. The only way to prevent the sharing of this information is for a student or parent to opt out of the disclosure.

Thursday August 15, 2013

Hundreds Protest NH Police Chief's Tank Request

Tuesday August 13, 2013

The Concord Monitor reports that hundreds of people came to the Concord, New Hampshire city council meeting Monday night to protest Concord Police Chief John Duval's ongoing effort to obtain a Lenco BearCat G3 armored vehicle for the town's police department.

BearCat opposition at the meeting was overwhelming. The Concord Monitor notes that most of the dozens of people speaking during two hours of public testimony opposed acquisition of the tank-like armored vehicle, while outside hundreds of people, including Free State Project and Occupy New Hampshire supporters, "played drums, chanted and held signs identifying themselves as citizens, neighbors and taxpayers." To justify the need for the armored vehicle, Duval's initial grant application suggested Free State Project and Occupy New Hampshire supporters are terrorists.”

Washington Gay Policy Push Counterproductive in Russia

Monday August 12, 2013

Americans upset over a new Russian law banning "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations around minors" should think twice before calling on the United States government to help their cause. That is the message of Stephen F. Cohen, a professor emeritus of Russian studies at New York University and Princeton University who expresses sympathy with gay rights movements but skepticism of US government action to advance such movements in Russia. As a guest on National Public Radio's Diane Rehm Show on Monday, Cohen made astute comments regarding the situation. Here is my transcription of Cohen's comments, which you can hear him present in the discussion that starts at 33:40 in the show:
