Growing Number Of Americans Can't Afford Food, Study Finds

Argentine advice for Greece: ‘Default Now, bring back the Drachma’

24 / 02 / 2012

Here in Argentina, when we watch the terrible things that are happening today in Greece, we can only exclaim, “Hey!! That’s exactly what happened in Argentina in 2001 and 2002…!”
All governments should understand that you either govern for the people and against the bankers; or you govern for the bankers and against the people.

Occupy's Return From Hibernation

The movement will next take on foreclosures.

By Sally Kohn

 February 24, 2012 "The American Prospect" -- As winter fades, the Occupy Wall Street movement is heating up again. But don�t expect the same focus on physical encampments and rowdy protests. While the blood of the 99 percent is still boiling at the injustice of growing inequality, in organizing meetings and workgroups, cooler heads are prevailing. This is Occupy 2.0 - the mainstreaming of momentum.

From my conversations with Occupy organizers and supporters, my sense is that the main thrust of organizing energy and attention will go toward Occupy Our Homes - a coalition of Occupy activists joining with existing grassroots groups to support families that are facing foreclosure or have been evicted by big banks. Prioritizing Occupy Our Homes is great choice for two reasons.

Occupy for Prisoners Comes Out Against Mass Incarceration

Each time the 100-strong crowd assembled for the national Occupy for Prisoners day roared below the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown Chicago on Monday evening, the lights in a couple of windows would flicker on and off - prisoners up above, responding to the chants of "build schools, not prisons" and "we're with you, brothers and sisters."

Media show their true colors in a case that would go down in history as the tombstone of the First Amendment in the United States.


Los Angeles, March 2 - if for no other reason, the case of Bradley Manning and Julian Assange will go down in history as the tombstone of the First Amendment, on multiple accounts.

Likewise, there is no doubt that the recent Stratfor/Anonymous/Wikileaks episode is of historic proportions in revealing the level of corruption of the international military-industrial complex today.

UK: Reporters Without Borders, Press Freedom Index 2011/12  (PFI) ranking - 28 
The Guardian continues is proud partnership with Wikileaks. [13]The Telegraph comes close behind. [16]

US: PFI ranking - 47Bloggers shine through as our saving grace.  Here is the opening line on Canonfire (and that also covers CNN):  [9]

You know what's really cute? CNN managed to compile an entire article on the Stratfor documents obtained by Wikileaks without once mentioning Israel. That's like writing a biography of Hermann Melville without mentioning Moby Dick.

Radicals, like Amy Goodman, did not disappoint. [1]  The Rolling Stone continues to gain in stature, as a cultural phenomenon. [2] KPCC is its usual self [5]
Huffington Post published Reuters, from London, verbatim. Better be careful, not to be secretly indicted as a co-conspirator in a spy ring... [4]  Under Microsoft control, Huffington continues to set a mark for US media.

The New York Times, was even more cautious, burying a cryptic piece under the Technology section. [6]But then again, it had already given its readers a disclaimer on Christmas day two years ago, what's fit to print in the era. [7]
The Los Angeles Times again deserves the honor of the largest small town newspaper. [8]
The Wichita Eagle is cute,  "WikiLeaks: Stratfor emails reveal problems with Web security" [12]
Wikipedia, not surprisingly, takes the Stratfor line, 'Stratfor has condemned the release as "deplorable" ', but fails to provide information on the leaked documents and what they say about Startfor.. [15]
Israel: PFI ranking - 92Haaretz should be commended for broad coverage of the episode, even the naming of the claims that Haaretz' own Melman was an "intelligence mule". [3]  Other Israeli print media seem to have ignored the story.

India: PFI ranking - 131Mail of India focuses on India related issues. [10]  Times of India, does the same. [14]

Finland: PFI ranking - 1Ditto. [11]

Members of Knesset decline to help in obtaining responses from the judiciary regarding the electronic records of the State of Israel Supreme Court
Freedom of Information requests were filed on the Judicial Authority in effort to complete the Human rights Alert Submission for the 2012 review of Human Rights in Israel by the United Nations, titled, “Integrity, or lack thereof, of the electronic records of the courts."  The offices of MKs Galon and Hanin responded by declining to help in this matter. The office of MK Yehimovitch has not responded so far.  Conditions that have emerged in the electronic records of the courts of the State of Israel undermine any ‘constitutional rights’ that have been construed by the Supreme Court during the same years, and pose a risk for the Israeli financial system.

Jerusalem, March 1  “Member of the Kenesset are neglecting their duties,” says Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO).  Dr Zernik filed requests for help by Members of Knesset Zehava Galon (Meretz),  Dov Hanin (Hadash), and Shelly Yehimovitch (Labor), leaders of three opposition parties. [1]Help was sought in obtaining responses by the Judicial Authority on Freedom of Information requests, and in obtaining opinion of the Knesset’s Legal Counsel regarding the integrity of the electronic records of the Supreme Court of the State of Israel.

MK Galon and Hanin responded by declining to assist in this matter, and MK Yehimovitch has not responded so far. [1]
Freedom of Information requests had been filed by Human Rights Alert on the Judicial Authority, pertaining to authenticity and security of the electronic records of the Supreme Court: [2--6]

•  The process and substance that led to the changes in certification authorities and patterns in 2001-2.
•  Changes to Regulations of the Office of the Clerk (2004) by the Director of Administration of the Courts, if any, in the process of implementing the electronic record systems, particularly changes pertaining to certification by the chief clerks of the courts and maintenance of electronic court records.
•  The ultimate administrative authority for the servers of the Supreme Court, who has held it in recent years, how it was established, and how it is transferred, and
•  The origins and authorization for the online publication by the Judicial Authority of the 'Public Information Page - Authentication of Public Records (“Apostille”)'.

Human Rights Alert is seeking the information in order to complete its submission for the 2012 Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Human Rights in Israel by the United Nations (UNHRC).  Human Rights Alert’s draft Executive Summary of the submission is titled, “Integrity, or lack thereof, of the electronic records of the courts,” (copied below). [7]  The report concludes, “Precipitous deterioration in integrity of the electronic records of the courts of the State of Israel is documented over the past decade. Prevailing conditions … undermines the integrity of the justice system, civil society and socioeconomic development.”

“The lawmakers in Israel are surprisingly timid with the judiciary compared with their US counterparts,” says Dr Zernik. 
In 2008, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D), Chair of the Intelligence Committee and Member of the Judiciary Committee, and Congresswoman Diane Watson, both of California, filed on Dr Zernik’s behalf Congressional Inquiries on the US Attorney General and FBI Director, why they would not respond on request for equal protection of the 10 million residents of Los Angeles County against racketeering by State judges. [8]
The 2010 submission of Human Rights Alert to the UNHRC for the UPR of the United States later focused on racketeering by California judges in through large-scale false imprisonment and real estate and financial institutions fraud.  The submission was reviewed by the HRC professional staff and incorporated in the official HRC Professional Staff Report with a note referring to “corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California.” [8]
“The integrity of court records cannot be overemphasized,” says Dr Zernik, “it is essential for Due Process/Fair Hearing, and underlies any other Human Rights in the Universal Declaration, or Constitutional Rights that have been construed by the Supreme Court of the State of Israel over the past couple of decades.”

The UPR is a non-judicial, non-enforceable review procedure, established by the United Nations.  Submissions by stakeholders typically also document the responses by national authorities, when deficiencies are discovered. “So far, the response by the executive, judicial, and legislative branches (including the State Ombudsman) of the State of Israel has been no response at all,” says Dr Zernik, “However, the response by Israeli scholars, both in computing and the law and by religious leaders is encouraging, compared to their counterparts in the United States.”
The draft Human Rights Alert 2012 submission on the State of Israel recommends, “Proposed solutions would have to draw upon civil society agents outside the legal profession, most likely computing experts and religious leaders. Truth and reconciliation commission may also be required, for the resolution of the disposition of the large number of missing and falsified court records from the past decade, and for investigation, whether judges/justices and/or senior officers of the Ministry of Justice have been involved in wholesale violations of their oaths of office.” [7]
Conditions in the US courts were shown to be tightly linked to the current financial crisis. [9] “Changes in the Israeli courts over the past decade also increase the risks to the Israeli financial system,” concludes Dr Zernik.

___________
Draft Human Rights Alerts 2012 State of Israel UPR Submission: Integrity, or lack thereof, in the electronic record systems of the courts
Executive Summary

Allegations: Conditions, now prevailing in the electronic records of the national courts of the State of Israel, amount to violation of any article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, where integrity of the courts and the justice system is a prerequisite. Such violations undermine the rule of law. Likewise, prevailing conditions violate international treaties and conventions, to which the State of Israel is a party, including, but not limited to the Hague Convention (1961).

Evidence: Human Rights Alerts (NGO) Submission is narrowly focused on analysis of the electronic record systems in national courts (Supreme Court, district courts, detainees courts), in particular, public access to court records and integrity of the records, which are made accessible to the public. The analysis uses methods inspired by data-mining and zero-knowledge proofs; on consultations with Israeli law and computing experts as well as religious leaders; on media reports, and on attempts to obtain relevant public information or solicit investigation/corrective actions by relevant national agencies.
In 2001-3, discontinuities were found in the certification authority and patterns of the electronic records of the Supreme Court; numerous case files are missing altogether (a cardinal sign of judicial corruption, according to UN reports on Strengthening Judicial Integrity), and large number of records are falsified as to date and certification. Since then, the Supreme Court's electronic records have been published online unsigned and uncertified, subject to editing and phrasing changes.
The 2010 Ombudsman report (60b) noted various anomalies in development and implementation, and operation of the courts electronic record systems. Most anomalies point to compromised security.
Today, the Supreme Court refuses to certify its own decisions. An unsigned, undated apostille certification procedure, published online by the Judicial Authority, is opined as a fraudulent scheme, intended to simulate compliance with the Hague Convention (1961).* The Court routinely publishes simulated decisions, and conducts simulated review. Sealing is imposed in an arbitrary and capricious manner. The conduct of the Court is inconsistent with its own recent decisions on matters related to constitutional rights, due process rights, due notice and service, and public access to court records.
Freedom of Information requests, pertaining to the electronic record systems remain unanswered.

Conclusions: Precipitous deterioration in integrity of the electronic records of the courts of the State of Israel is documented over the past decade. Prevailing conditions should be deemed a failure of the legal profession, and undermines the integrity of the justice system, civil society and socioeconomic development.

Recommendations: Proposed solutions would have to draw upon civil society agents outside the legal profession, most likely computing experts and religious leaders. Truth and reconciliation commission may also be required, for the resolution of the disposition of the large number of missing and falsified court records from the past decade, and for investigation, whether judges/justices and/or senior officers of the Ministry of Justice have been involved in wholesale violations of their oaths of office.

The State of Israel is not alone in employing false electronic record systems in the courts to simulate the rule of law.

Wikileaks Reveals Privately Run CIA's Dirty Secrets (Update 2)

BY JESUS DIAZ
FEB 26, 2012 7:15 PM


Wikileaks has published five million emails from Stratfor, an intelligence company based in Texas that, looking at their practices, appears to be America's very own privately run CIA. According to Wikileaks, their deals would also include the use of privileged information to make money in financial markets.

Stratfor's clients are the US Government, other countries and military organizations, as well as private companies like Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman or Raytheon. They have a global network of spies in governments and media companies, including "secret deals with dozens of media organizations and journalists, from Reuters to the Kiev Post." According to the emails, these spies get paid in Swiss bank accounts and pre-paid credit cards.

Wikileaks says that the emails also reveal the creation of a parallel organization called StratCap. Apparently, this organization would use Stratfor network of informants to make money in financial markets. Wikileaks claims that the emails show how then-Goldman Sachs Managing Director Shea Morenz and Stratfor CEO George Friedman put StratCap in motion in 2009.

Here are some of the highlights, according to Wikileaks:

Global network of informants

The Global Intelligence Files exposes how Stratfor has recruited a global network of informants who are paid via Swiss banks accounts and pre-paid credit cards.

Who are their spies?

Government and diplomatic sources from around the world give Stratfor advance knowledge of global politics and events in exchange for money. Stratfor has a mix of covert and overt informants, which includes government employees, embassy staff and journalists around the world.

How they control their sources

"[Y]ou have to take control of him. Control means financial, sexual or psychological control... This is intended to start our conversation on your next phase" � CEO George Friedman to Stratfor analyst Reva Bhalla on 6 December 2011, on how to exploit an Israeli intelligence informant providing information on the medical condition of the President of Venezuala, Hugo Chavez.

Using secret information to make money in financial markets

Stratfor's use of insiders for intelligence soon turned into a money-making scheme of questionable legality. The emails show that in 2009 then-Goldman Sachs Managing Director Shea Morenz and Stratfor CEO George Friedman hatched an idea to "utilise the intelligence" it was pulling in from its insider network to start up a captive strategic investment fund. [...] CEO George Friedman explained in a confidential August 2011 document, marked DO NOT SHARE OR DISCUSS: "What StratCap will do is use our Stratfor's intelligence and analysis to trade in a range of geopolitical instruments,particularly government bonds, currencies and the like".

US Government and Mossad ties

Stratfor claims that it operates "without ideology, agenda or national bias", yet the emails reveal private intelligence staff who align themselves closely with US government policies and channel tips to the Mossad � including through an information mule in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Yossi Melman, who conspired with Guardian journalist David Leigh to secretly, and in violation of WikiLeaks' contract with the Guardian, move WikiLeaks US diplomatic cables to Israel.

Secret deals with media organizations and journalists

Stratfor did secret deals with dozens of media organisations and journalists � from Reuters to the Kiev Post. The list of Stratfor's "Confederation Partners", whom Stratfor internally referred to as its "Confed Fuck House" are included in the release. While it is acceptable for journalists to swap information or be paid by other media organisations, because Stratfor is a private intelligence organisation that services governments and private clients these relationships are corrupt or corrupting.

[WikiLeaks]

Update: Stratfor CEO has resigned following this clusterfuck. It seems the company's security hasn't been fixed yet, at least according to Anonymous:

From: george.friedman@stratfor.com

To: fred.burton@stratfor.com

Subject: Draft

Date: 2012-02-26 19:02:07

It is with great personal disappointment I have to inform you that I will resign from my position as CEO for Stratfor to immediate effect.

Please rest assured that this decision was not an easy. But in the light of the recent events, especially the release of our company emails by WikiLeaks, I have decided that stepping down is in the best interest of Stratfor and its customer base.

I want to emphasize that this will have no effect on Stratfor's business or its members and we will continue to provide state-of-the-art intelligence services.

Regarding the latest breach, Stratfor is fully in control of the situation However, while I cannot take any personal responsibility for this incident, I still have to admit that mistakes have been made on our side. To be clear: We certainly do not condone any criminal activities by groups like Anonymous or other hackers. This is theft and we will continue to cooperate with law enforcement to bring those responsible to justice. But we must acknowledge that this incident would not have been possible if Stratfor had implemented stronger data protection mechanisms - which will be the case from now on. Indeed we will immediately move to implement the latest, and most comprehensive, data security measures.

While I played no role in our technical operations, as the company's CEO I do accept full responsibility thus will resign from my position effective immediately.

Again, my sincerest apologies for this whole unfortunate incident.

Sincerely,

George Friedman

Update 2: Stratfor says that the email above is false in this Reuters article:

It said it would not be cowed under the leadership of George Friedman, Stratfor's founder and chief executive officer. It said Friedman had not resigned as CEO, contrary to a bogus email circulating on the Internet.

Some of the emails being published "may be forged or altered to include inaccuracies; some may be authentic," the company statement said.

"We will not validate either. Nor will we explain the thinking that went into them. Having had our property stolen, we will not be victimized twice by submitting to questioning about them," the statement said."

Or maybe that's part of a disinformation campaign to question the credibility of all the emails. After all, the article is from Reuters. Who knows at this point.

Interpol says suspected Anonymous hackers arrested

By GREG KELLER, Associated Press � 1 hour ago February 29, 2012  
PARIS (AP) � Interpol said that 25 suspected members of the loose-knit Anonymous hacker movement have been arrested in a sweep across Europe and South America.

The international police agency said in a statement Tuesday that the arrests in Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Spain were carried out by national law enforcement officers working under the support of Interpol's Latin American Working Group of Experts on Information Technology Crime.

The suspects, aged between 17 and 40, are suspected of planning coordinated cyberattacks against institutions including Colombia's defense ministry and presidential websites, Chile's Endesa electricity company and national library, as well as other targets.

The arrests followed an ongoing investigation begun in mid-February which also led to the seizure of 250 items of IT equipment and mobile phones in searches of 40 premises in 15 cities, Interpol said.

In Chile's capital, Subprefect Jamie Jara said at a news conference that authorities arrested five Chileans and a Colombian. Two of the Chileans are 17-year-old minors.

The case was being handled by prosecutor Marcos Mercado, who specializes in computer crime. He said the suspects were charged with altering websites, including that of Chile's National Library, and engaging in denial-of-service attacks on websites of the electricity companies Endesa and Hidroaysen. The charges carry a penalty of 541 days to five years in prison, he said.

Jara said the arrests resulted from a recently begun investigation and officials do not yet know if those arrested are tied to any "illicit group."

"For now, we have not established that they have had any special communications among themselves," he said.

Jara said authorities were continuing to investigate other avenues, but gave no details.

Gen. Carlos Mena, commander of Colombia's Judicial Police, said no one was arrested in Colombia, but he noted that some Colombians had been arrested elsewhere, including Chile. He said he hadn't confirmed a report that one of those arrested in Argentina may have been from Colombia.

Mena did hint that there might be arrests in Colombia. He said other nations have been providing information and Colombian authorities are looking into it, but so far haven't arrested any hackers.

"You have to leave them alone, so when we have all the evidence, and the prosecutor makes the decision, we will be all over it and capturing them," he said.

No official statements have been released yet in Argentina. An Argentine media website based its story on the Interpol statement, which it quotes as saying that 10 people were arrested in Argentina.

Earlier Tuesday, police in Spain announced the arrest of four suspected Anonymous hackers in connection with attacks on Spanish political party websites. These four were among the 25 announced by Interpol.

A National Police statement said two servers used by the group in Bulgaria and the Czech Republic have been blocked.

It said the four included the alleged manager of Anonymous' computer operations in Spain and Latin America, who was identified only by his initials and the aliases "Thunder" and "Pacotron."

The four are suspected of defacing websites, carrying out denial-of-service attacks and publishing data on police assigned to the royal palace and the premier's office online.

Interpol is headquartered in Lyon, France. The organization has no powers of arrest or investigation but it helps police forces around the world work together, facilitating intelligence sharing.

Anonymous, whose genesis can be traced back to a popular U.S. image messaging board, has become increasingly politicized amid a global clampdown on music piracy and the international controversy over the secret-spilling site WikiLeaks, with which many of its supporters identify.

Authorities in Europe, North America and elsewhere have made dozens of arrests, and Anonymous has increasingly attacked law enforcement, military and intelligence-linked targets in retaliation.

One of Anonymous' most spectacular coups: Secretly recording a conference call between U.S. and British cyber investigators tasked with bringing the group to justice.

Anonymous has no real membership structure. Hackers, activists, and supporters can claim allegiance to its freewheeling principles at their convenience, so it's unclear what impact the arrests will have.

Some Internet chatter appeared to point to a revenge attack on Interpol's website, but the police organization's home page appeared to operating as normal late Tuesday.

One Twitter account purportedly associated with Anonymous' Brazilian wing said the sweep would fail.

"Interpol, you can't take Anonymous," the message read. "It's an idea."

Hacking off the Feds: Anonymous intercepts FBI conference call about�themselves (AUDIO)
Published: 03 February, 2012, 19:45
 

In an audio recording made and posted online by the internet hacktivists Anonymous, a number of Federal agents both in the US and the UK can be heard discussing ways to apprehend members of the group.

In an ironic post, the hacktivists made the 20-minute long conversation available online, taunting the Federal Bureau of Investigations with the leak � and the fact that while the agents may only have half-formed plans to arrest Anonymous members, the group itself is making sure to stay one step ahead.

After a rather odd discussion on whether there really is a McDonalds in the Pentagon � and gleeful confirmation of the existence of one in Sheffield � the agents get down to the point of their conference: whether dual interviews with suspects are possible, the delayed arrests of several teenagers suspected of being hackers, and unnamed �operational matters.�

But the most intriguing part of the conference comes after a US agent thanks his UK counterparts for their help. �We are here to help,� came the reply. �We know we�ve cocked up in the past.�

Unfortunately for those with Kipling�s mongoose syndrome of wanting to know all, the London field office does not elaborate on how exactly it has cocked up in the past � or whether the comment was related solely to the Bureau�s battle with hacker groups like Anonymous, LulzSec, Antisec and others.

The FBI has already reacted, saying the leaked recording was confidential,and that the information revealed �was intended for law enforcement officers only and was illegally obtained.'' The Bureau also added in its statement that it is �hunting those responsible�.

For the moment, however, the score is clearly in Anonymous� favor as they continue to catch the FBI agents off guard with their weekly #FFF � or FuckFBIFriday � leaks. The Twitter hashtag, popular among the group and its followers, usually sees some sort of sensitive or secret information leaked every week. This Friday, however, Anonymous dropped a double bombshell, releasing not only the recorded conference call, but also emails related to the case of Sgt Frank Wuterich, the US Marine that admitted to killing civilians in Iraq and walked away scot free.
