His Canadian citizenship is not in doubt. Is Senator Ted Cruz a US citizen?

"Senator Cruz’s position is: 'Because I was a U.S. citizen at birth, because I left Calgary when I was 4 and have lived my entire life since then in the U.S., and because I have never taken affirmative steps to claim Canadian citizenship, I assumed that was the end of the matter.' This contradicts the position of the U.S. government. Let me clarify by asking a question. Q. What if Mr. Cruz had been born in the United States and left at the age of four for Canada and never 'claimed' his U.S. citizenship? A. The U.S. would take the position that he was a U.S. citizen whether he 'claimed his citizenship' or not. It would then assert direct rights of ownership and abuse over him." Continue reading →

Like Ted Cruz, Canadians had nothing against the United States, until now

"If Canadians and others around the world want to renounce U.S. citizenship to protect their private financial information from U.S. snooping, IRS expects five years of income tax returns, destructive penalties and a possible exit tax. Senator Cruz, Canada respects your decision to renounce your Canadian citizenship. When it is granted, I assure you Canada will not stalk you for information about your private finances and will not demand taxes or penalties from you. Senator Cruz, will you and your Congressional colleagues do the same to protect Canadians and others around the world from outrageous demands of the IRS and U.S. Treasury?" Continue reading →

What NSA Transparency Looks Like

"That is the publicly released version of a semiannual report from the administration to Congress describing NSA violations of rules surrounding the FISA Amendments Act. The act is one of the key laws governing NSA surveillance, including now-famous programs like Prism. As an oversight measure, the law requires the attorney general to submit semiannual reports to the congressional intelligence and judiciary committees. The section with the redactions above is titled 'Statistical Data Relating to Compliance Incidents.' The document, dated May 2010, was released after the ACLU filed a freedom of information lawsuit."

CIA admits to helping overthrow Iran’s democratically elected leader in 1953

"The CIA has publicly admitted for the first time that it was behind the notorious 1953 coup against Iran’s democratically elected prime minister Mohammad Mosaddeq, in documents that also show how the British government tried to block the release of information about its own involvement in his overthrow. Malcolm Byrne, deputy director of the national security archive, has called on the US intelligence authorities to release the remaining records and documents.

‘Drug free’ advocate: I smoked pot in college, of course

"David Evans, a criminal defense attorney and special advisor to Drug Free America Foundation, warned that marijuana combined the worst aspects of tobacco and alcohol. He said the drug was highly addictive and caused traffic accidents that killed young people and those who supported legalizing marijuana were naive and misinformed. 'You’re painting a very apocalyptic picture here, Mr. Evans, have you taken marijuana yourself?' Morgan asked. 'Yes, I smoked pot in college, of course,' Evans replied. 'You’re still alive,' Morgan remarked. 'You haven’t killed anyone. You haven’t gone crazy. You seem perfectly well. You seem reasonably rational.'" Continue reading →

The FBI’s Privileged Partners in Crime

"According to legal scholar Harvey Silverglate, each day the typical American commits three acts that could be treated as felonies by a sufficiently creative federal prosecutor. On a typical day the FBI formally authorizes informants and provocateurs on its payroll to commit fifteen unambiguous crimes. The ATF and DEA also run huge networks of informants, but those agencies will not disclose any information about the number of undercover operatives they employ or the criminal activities in which they may be involved. In his book 'Our Enemy, the State,' Albert Nock observed that government doesn’t seek to abolish crime, but rather to monopolize it." Continue reading →

McCain and Graham flipflop on aid to Egypt– after AIPAC speaks up

"Two conservative senators, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, went to Egypt this week to urge Egyptian leaders to show more respect for democracy. McCain and Graham may be Republicans, but they have a lot of clout. They were reported to have the blessing of the Obama administration in making this embassy. Why do they have such clout? One reason is that they are extremely responsive to the Israel lobby. In fact, both men lately flipflopped on a principled statement-- cutting off aid to Egypt -- evidently at the urging of AIPAC, the leading Israel lobby organization." Continue reading →

MSNBC Blames Boston Bombing on “Deeply Racist” Alex Jones

"'Alex Jones may sound crazy, but he has 300 million people that have watched him on YouTube,' said Wagner, characterizing Jones as 'deeply racist,' despite the fact that Jones has preached a message of peaceful, non-violent inclusiveness for the best part of two decades. On the contrary, Alex Jones and Infowars are renowned for communicating a message of non-violence and racial harmony, stemming back from the 90′s when Alex Jones protested against and bullhorned the Ku Klux Klan. In comparison, MSNBC is part owned by General Electric, a titan of the military-industrial complex and one of the biggest arms manufacturers on the planet." Continue reading →
