ELECTION TIMING

Apparently, on November 1st, a US drone was fired at by Iranian fighter planes.  According to WSJ:

A senior administration official said Republicans and Democrats in Congress were briefed on the incident Nov. 2, and congressional aides for both parties confirmed some staff members were briefed. Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney wasn't briefed, an aide said.

The story comes out after the election on November 6th.  Reports claim it only came out because CNN reported it, which seems very out of character for CNN.

On November 9th, CIA Director David Petraeus announced his resignation, reportedly due to an affair with the woman who wrote his biography.  Also announced is that he will no longer testify next week in a House Intelligence Committee hearing on the 9/11/2012 attack in Benghazi, to which he originally reported was all due to a spontaneous uproar over a youtube video.

Get ready for four more years of watching the people who opposed Bush/Cheney cheer on Barack Obama for embracing and furthering the same policies, cheer on the War of Terror, cheer on the normalization of warrantless spying, drone warfare at home and abroad, police militarization, the assassination of men, women, and children (Americans included), the complete loss of due process and habeas corpus, continued punishment for whistleblowers (prosecuting more whistlebowers than all presidents combined (and less pardons than Reagan)), continued expansion of charter schools and Bush era school reform, support for Halliburton, private military contractors, Monsanto, unwavering support for Israel, and an attack on Iran. Go Democrats!

The Seattle Police Dept tried to present their drone program to the public at the Garfield Community Center Oct 25, 2012. The citizen input (sic) starts around 11 minutes in. Let's just say the good citizens of Seattle have absolutely *no* interest in police drones.

So: those spooky new "circular" dark globe cameras installed in your neighborhood park, town, or city—they aren't just passively monitoring. They're plugged into Trapwire and they are potentially monitoring every single person via facial recognition. In related news, the Obama administration is fighting in federal court this week for the ability to imprison American citizens under NDAA's indefinite detention provisions—and anyone else—without charge or trial, on suspicion alone. So we have a widespread network of surveillance cameras across America monitoring us and reporting suspicious activity back to a centralized analysis center, mixed in with the ability to imprison people via military force on the basis of suspicious activity alone. I don't see how that could possibly go wrong. Nope, not at all. We all know the government, and algorithmic computer programs, never make mistakes.

YAY! OLYMPIA SNOWE IS LEAVING! Except she doesn't say why. Well, she says it's because there ain't enough bipartisanship. But she FAILS to explain WHAT THE FUCK SHE MEANS BY THAT.

All I see is bipartisanship. The Dem FUCKS and the Rep FUCKS all agree - MURDER THE FUCK OUT OF BROWN ARAB MUSLIMS, YOUNG AND OLD, MEN AND WOMAN, KIDS AND BABIES. TORTURE THEM, HUMILIATE THEM, BURN THEIR KORANS, AND OFFER THEM NO JUDICAL JUSTICE. FUCK 'EM. WE GOT A TERRORIST MYTH WE NEED TO DRIVE HOME.

Lindorff: Well, I wrote a book back during the Bush [former US president] administration called the case for impeachment, where I documented all the ways in which that president had undermined the constitution, undermined the bill of rights and it created a move towards a police state.

I had never imagined at that time that the next president would take it further but we now have a president, ironically, who taught constitutional law, who is taking us back now to an era before the American Revolution to the way things were under the British.

And to precisely the conditions: arbitrary arrest, detention without trial, terminating execution without a trial all these things that led the colonists to throw the British out of the United States.

It's an astonishing regression to an era of tyranny and I think that the problem is that most Americans are unaware of it. It hasn't even been written about in most of the media- the mainstream media in the United States is being blacked out and even when people hear about it, the tendency for people these days is to think well that really doesn't apply to me, this is about terrorists and so on.

And it doesn't. It applies to everyone like myself and to peace activists, writers all of us who are critical of the administration and foreign policy are at risk.
