Afghan "Allies" Attack American Troops in Record Numbers

Warrantless Cellphone Tracking Is Upheld
The Court concluded that location data was “clearly a business record” and therefore not protected by the Fourth Amendment. This does not make any sense at all since in the Fourth Amendment, private information is precisely what is supposed to be protected. The Court's ruling is off-base.

Ian Hunter, Wilco, James Mastro: Hoboken, N.J., 26 July 2013
Hoboken, NJ’s Pier A hosted the traveling AmericanaramA tour. The evening also included surprise guest appearances, including Allman Brothers Band/Gov’t Mule guitarist Warren Haynes, The J. Geils Band singer Peter Wolf, Mott The Hoople’s Ian Hunter and Hoboken, NJ musical hero and The Bongos member James Mastro.
Wilco surprised the crowd by inviting English R&B/glam rock star Ian Hunter onstage for his Mott The Hoople classic “I Wish I Was Your Mother.” Mastro, who owns a nearby guitar star in addition to his Hoboken music credits, also played mandolin on the tune. Both Hunter and Mastro remained onstage as Haynes returned for a take on “California Stars.” Then, Bingham and the members of My Morning Jacket joined Wilco and their guests on an all-star cover of David Bowie’s “All The Young Dudes.” (The song was made famous by Mott The Hoople). Wilco have covered “I Wish I Was Your Mother” in the past but have not performed the song since a 2001 stop at Chicago’s Abbey Pub.

"Yet Wilco also affirmed its rootsy side, with exquisitely down-home guest solos by Warren Haynes (from Gov’t Mule, the Allman Brothers and the Dead). For its finale, it brought on the rest of the opening acts to join Ian Hunter, of Mott the Hoople, in “All the Young Dudes,” the very 1970s, very English glam-rock anthem written by David Bowie: not Americana but Britainiana."

I’d like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why i must keep working on
Yes, I’d give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of California stars

I’d like to lay my weary bones tonight

I’d love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why i must keep working on
Yes, I’d give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from my starbed and make another day
Underneath my California stars
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine
So, I’d give this world just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars

Jump up from my starbed and make another day

They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine

IMAM ON JERUSALEM’S TEMPLE MOUNT CALLING FOR CALIPHATE AND DESTRUCTION OF THE U.S., FRANCE, BRITAIN, ROME
In a gathering on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem marking the first Friday of the Ramadan, an imam of the Islamist Hizb ut-Tahrir organization incited a crowd of hundreds of Muslims calling for the destruction of America, France, Britain and Rome.
The fiery speech was made on July 12, 2013. The original Arabic video was translated by the Clarion Project.
The imam said a number of times, with the crowd repeating after him:
"Allah is Greater! Let America be destroyed!"
"The Caliphate is the answer!"
"Listen, Obama, we are a nation that does not bow down, and the Caliphate will return!"
"Listen, Obama. and the Caliphate will return!"

Egyptian Cleric Calls on Allah to Kill Jews and Shiites
#3914 - Egyptian Cleric Muhammad Al-Zughbi Calls on Allah to Annihilate Jews and Shiites in Friday Sermon
Amjad TV (Egypt) - May 24 and 31, 2013 - 04:52
Captain in the USMC from Afghanistan
Lioness of Judah,
I am back in Afghanistan. There is no mission, no strategy. The Muslims have us pretty well figured out. They ask, ask and ask. We then give, give and give. The commander to balks at the cycle? He is replaced by someone who will go along. The Afghans are great allies--- so long as we bribe them with goods, services, and money. They turn when we leave. Just recently, an advisor team was ordered away from an Afghan Uniformed Police team in the south because, as higher headquarters claims, they were fully trained and operational independent of ISAF help. Just the other day, the chief of police for that team was caught on our drone assets delivering a Humvee-full of weapons and ammunition to a Taliban member who is targeted for death. Of course we did not drone strike him because, after all, this is what winning looks like.
We work with allied local national linguists. Hazaras, Tajiks, and Pashtuns. Every so often, I have one of these men come to my door and ask to speak privately. They then explain--- and beg me to not tell anyone--- that they do not consider themselves Muslim, but have to go along or be killed. They ask me to help them with their visa packages to escape this Islamist hell. I do. I prod these linguists with those questions that would perk the ears of an Islamic supremist. I have identified some whom I will not trust. But there are others who recognize that Islam is the problem in Afghanistan. One is a secret Christian. They want away from Islam and America is the last place where it is safe to go. For now.
I feel like these guys who have seen what Islam is are the survivors. We need them. They are like the survivors who escaped to America from the Soviet bloc and pled with tears in their eyes for America to not vote for Obama. They know what is coming because they have seen it. I do not think that Islam can be readily defeated through intellect. They are beyond it. Only sheer violence and force can stop them, only liberating those who will be liberated and using the superstition of their religion against them will work. General Pershing understood this 100 years ago. I am afraid America will not really get this until the most extreme circumstance arises.
My time in the Marine Corps is coming to an end. I could stay in the organization as long as I wish, but I feel there is no point. All the talented officers I know are resigning. We can’t bear to stay in and see what is happening. We are a social-experiment over and above the world’s premier war-fighting organization now. This is what America wants. This is what America has voted for twice.
Me and people like me look to get out and blend in with society at large. The consensus is that the time will come when America wants people like us again, but only after this new experimental drive has run its course. It will end how it has to end: in class war, race war, free men vs statists. Completely predictable. At that time, the blood and sweat and broken hearts pressed from America’s fighting men and women over a decade of counter-insurgency warfare will rise up and be our nation’s salvation.
As always, please keep my identity secret. The system is no longer partial to my kind.

Not Nice to Fool Mother Nature: CIA and Weather Manipulation
The NAS website describes a study as an investigation into "a limited number of proposed geoengineering techniques, including examples of both solar radiation management (SRM) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) techniques."
Much speculation has surrounded claims that the US government has long been involved in types of weather manipulation, including a much-discussed attempt to cloud-seed - the process of dispersing substances into the air to create cloud condensation or ice nuclei and subsequently rain or snow - during the Vietnam war.
Weather manipulation was most recently in the news after claims by some American commentators that devastating tornadoes in Oklahoma, along with other extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy, were created by the US government using the Haarp antenna farm in Alaska.

NRA on Illegals
Produced by the NRA (National Rifle Association), this video is instructive for any citizen of the U.S.A. Sheriff Larry Dever, white cowboy hat and blue/white checkered shirt, is the long time sheriff of Cochise County. Sierra Vista, and is the largest town in Cochise County. Cochise County is huge and borders Sonora, Mexico . The bald-headed guy is the Sheriff of Pinal County, North of Tucson, AZ. The videos were filmed on Highway 8, going from the I-10 north of Tucson, through Gila Bed and on to CA.
LANDMARK FEDERAL STUDY: NO INDICATION FRACKING CONTAMINATES DRINKING WATER
The study done by the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh marked the first time that a drilling company let government scientists inject special tracers into the fracking fluid and then continue regular monitoring to see whether it spread toward drinking water sources. The research is being done at a drilling site in Greene County, which is southwest of Pittsburgh and adjacent to West Virginia.

Rise of the Warrior Cop
It is time to reconsider the militarization of American policing.
Since the 1960s, in response to a range of perceived threats, law-enforcement agencies across the U.S., at every level of government, have been blurring the line between police officer and soldier. Driven by martial rhetoric and the availability of military-style equipment—from bayonets and M-16 rifles to armored personnel carriers—American police forces have often adopted a mind-set previously reserved for the battlefield. The war on drugs and, more recently, post-9/11 antiterrorism efforts have created a new figure on the U.S. scene: the warrior cop—armed to the teeth, ready to deal harshly with targeted wrongdoers, and a growing threat to familiar American liberties.
Obama Escalates Warfare
As Obama kills fewer Islamists with drone attacks in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen, the U.S. military is shifting its huge fleet of unmanned aircraft to other hot spots around the world. This next phase of drone warfare is focused more on spying than killing and will extend the Pentagon’s robust surveillance networks far beyond traditional, declared combat zones.
Obamacare Big Brother database: Federal Data Services Hub
The massive, centralized database will include comprehensive personal information such as income and financial data, family size, citizenship and immigration status, incarceration status, social security numbers, and private health information. It will compile dossiers based on information obtained from the IRS, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, the Veterans Administration, the Office of Personnel Management, the Social Security Administration, state Medicaid databases, and for some reason the Peace Corps. The Data Hub will provide web-based, one-stop shopping for prying into people’s personal affairs.
The hub will be used on a daily basis by Navigators, which according to the Government Accountability Office GAO, is to provide “electronic, near real-time “community and consumer-focused nonprofit groups, to which exchanges award grants to provide fair and impartial public education” and “refer consumers as appropriate for further assistance.”

Senate Narrowly Defends Constitution Against the U.N.
In a 53-46 vote, the Senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.
The Statement of Purpose from the bill read:
"To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty."
The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S., and had language that would have implemented an international gun registry on all private guns and ammunition. The ultimate purpose of the treaty is to confiscate all privately owned firearms in all countries supporting the treaty.
Astonishingly, 46 of our United States Senators were willing to trade our Constitutional rights to a foreign power.

BORDER PATROL AGENTS SHATTER DRIVER’S WINDOW, HANDCUFF HIM AFTER HE REFUSES TO COOPERATE AT ‘INTERNAL’ CHECKPOINT
US Border Patrol Break In Driver Window Cam, Pine Valley, California, Inspection Station Checkpoint, 31 May 2013 http://yuma310.com/border_dance.htm
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/07/10/caught-on-video-border-patrol-agents-shatter-drivers-window-after-he-refuses-to-cooperate-at-random-internal-checkpoint-in-calif/
Robert Trudell of Yuma, Ariz. posted an incident that occurred to him.
He told TheBlaze in an exclusive interview on Wednesday that he was detained for 10 hours by Border Patrol agents following the incident outlined in our original story.
“The event started in Pine Valley, California, at 12:35 in the afternoon and I was released on foot in the city of El Cajon, California at 10:30 p.m. that night by two plain clothes agents driving an unmarked black Dodge Charger,” Trudell explained. “The agents placed a brown paper bag in the parking lot which contained my shoelaces, ID and credit cards along with asset forfeiture receipts for my computers, cameras, car, phone and glasses.”
Trudell said a law enforcement official read him a charge about not complying with an order back at the detention facility. However, he claims he received nothing in writing about any official charges against him. “There is no official charge that I am aware of,” he said.
Revealing his side of the story, Trudell told us the drug dog dispatched to sniff around his vehicle turned up no hits for narcotics. He also said police found no drugs in the car or on him when they removed him from his vehicle after shattering the window.
“I was never aggressive with the agents or officers,” he added.
Trudell told TheBlaze he has gone through the checkpoint many times with the intention of recording the procedure, but other times has been forced to go through the checkpoint to get somewhere. His YouTube channel has several videos of him going through checkpoints while refusing to cooperate with law enforcement.
Trudell said he was on his way to film a senior table tennis tournament in Laguna Woods, Calif., when this particular incident with Border Patrol occurred.
Border Patrol in Pine Valley, Calif., has yet to reply to messages left by TheBlaze.

Fireplace: All Nighter CHUBBY MOE
All Nighter wood stove
All Nighter Stove Works was another big heating concern in the late 1970s. The details are a little sketchy, but it may have had design and copy issues with either Fisher or Chubby Stoves
They have a pretty big following and even used units can go for near $1000 dollars or more used. They had an advanced airtight system which was pretty high-tech for the time. Most models that you see out today are either the Big Moe or Moe Jr(Little Moe). There was also a Chubby Moe a Mid-Moe and a Giant Moe model as well. They had interesting names for sure! The model name would be imprinted right on the door.
If you're trying to guess the model here's a breakdown:
Little Moe: Can fit 18" logs
Mid Moe: Can fit 24" logs
Big Moe: Can fit 36" logs

RE: Raid on ADAM VS THE MAN Studios 10JUL13
(HERNDON, VA 10 JULY 2013)--- On the evening of Tuesday, 09JUL13, at approximately 7:45 PM, a combination of US Parks Police (an arm of the DHS) raided Adam Kokesh's residence. Local Herndon police assisted in the armed invasion. The officers used a battering ram to knock in the door after two knocks, and did not announce that they had a warrant. Immediately after breaking down the door, a flash bang grenade was deployed in the foyer.
Numerous police vehicles, including a light armored vehicle and two low-flying helicopters barricaded Adam's street. More than 20 armored SWAT team members surrounded the house, as well as a number of detectives, and plainclothes officers. Assault rifles were aimed on all members of the team as they were handcuffed without being told why they were detained. Masked and armored police in full “Storm Trooper” gear flooded in and ransacked the residence. The team was cordoned in a front room, while Adam was pulled aside for questioning.
Over the course of the next five hours, the police searched every corner of the house with canine units and blueprints to the house obtained prior to the search. All officers refused to speak to the crew while they we being detained. They confiscated cell phones and personal items with force. Throughout the ordeal, the police repeatedly showed a volatile desire to initiate aggressive, forceful conduct with detainees. At one point, Adam politely requested to use the restroom and was kicked by the officer forcing him to sit handcuffed on the floor. After hours of determined attempts, the safe was forced open and all items inside were confiscated. Adam was arrested and his crew were told he was being brought to the Herndon Police department overnight. Well after midnight, police officers cleared the house.
Fairfax County Adult Detention Center has stated that it has Adam in custody.
The ADAM VS THE MAN Team will be continuing production on the podcast and the Youtube channel as long as Adam remains imprisoned for an act of civil disobedience. We will continue to spread the message of liberty, self ownership, and the non-aggression principle regardless of the government's relentless attacks on our operation. We will continue to combat its desperate attempts to crush a worldwide, revolutionary shift in the people's understanding of the state's illegitimacy—after all, good ideas don't require force.

Happy 4th of July: DUI Checkpoint - Drug Dogs, Searched without Consent, while Innocent
A man getting stopped at a DUI checkpoint in Rutherford County, Tennessee is a video which includes what the driver believes to be a unconstitutional search of his car where an officer is even recorded saying the man is “perfectly innocent and he knows his rights.”
The video shows driver, 21-year-old Chris Kalbaugh, has his window cracked as Deputy A.J. Ross walks over asking the man to roll it down further. Kalbaugh says he thinks the level he has it rolled down is “fine” because he is able to hear the officer adequately. Ross asks how old Kalbaugh is (who before providing his answer responds asking if that’s even a relevant question), walks briefly toward the back of the vehicle, returns and then asks Kalbaugh to pull over.

TARIQ RAMADAN PUSHES AMERICAN MUSLIMS “NOT TO INFILTRATE,” BECOME JOURNALISTS, SHAPE PERCEPTIONS, JIHAD IS THE WAY WE IMPLEMENT SHARIA”
1:42:52 I wouldn’t care too much about, you know, the big media. They are changing. It’s going to… It is powerful but we have the power of our presence, we have the power of our principles and we have the power of alternative media. And we should send our children, when they want to do so to… in the field of journalism, to be able to be part of the whole thing and then things are changing.
Last example that I want to give you and I keep on repeating this because we don’t realize this, is… You have trends here who are very much promoting Islamophobia and they are saying, for example: Europe is becoming Eurabia. But why are they saying this? They are saying this because they know something. And once again: don’t work only with emotions and perceptions. Come to facts, figures. Study. Know what is happening. The evolution of history. In less than… You have 16 years, 16 years. We have seen something which was very interesting in the perceptions of the people in one conflict, which is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
1:44:08 ‘67, ‘67, 73% of the… in ’67, 73% of the Europeans were supporting Israel in the conflict. In seventy…, in the seventies… Now, not in the seventies, now, in 2010, we have 66 to 67% of the Europeans supporting the Palestinians. In fact, it’s not coming from… and you know what happened?
Tariq Ramadan is a Swiss-born philosophy professor currently based in France. In February 2002 Salon.com called him "one of the most important intellectuals in the world," characterizing him as “the Muslim Martin Luther.”
LITTLE MUSLIM GIRLS ON PA TV: JEWS ARE THE "MOST EVIL AMONG CREATIONS, BARBARIC MONKEYS, WRETCHED PIGS," CONDEMNED TO "HUMILIATION AND HARDSHIP"
http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=763&fld_id=763&doc_id=9312
PA TV reporter: "Let's meet these girls who want to recite a short poem."
Girl 1: "I do not fear the rifle because your throngs are in delusion and ignorant herds.
Girl 1: "I do not fear the rifle because your throngs are in delusion and ignorant herds.
Jerusalem is my land, Jerusalem is my honor
Jerusalem is my days and my wildest dreams.
Oh, you who murdered Allah's pious prophets (i.e., Jews in Islamic tradition)
Oh, you who were brought up on spilling blood
You have been condemned to humiliation and hardship.
Oh Sons of Zion, oh most evil among creations
Oh barbaric monkeys, wretched pigs
Girl 2: Jerusalem is not your den
Jerusalem opposes your throngs
Jerusalem vomits from within it your impurity
Because Jerusalem, you impure ones, is pious, immaculate
And Jerusalem, you who are filth, is clean and pure.
I do not fear barbarity.
As long as my heart is my Quran and my city
As long as I have my arm and my stones
As long as I am free and do not barter my cause
I will not fear your throngs
I will not fear the rifle."
Secret move keeps bin Laden records in the shadows

America America - Elia Kazan
*** America, America (British title The Anatolian Smile) is a 1963 American dramatic film directed, produced and written by Elia Kazan, from his own book ***
.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America,...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elia_Kaza
In this tale, loosely based upon the life of Kazan's uncle, the director uses little-known cast members, with the entire storyline revolving around the central performance of Greek actor Stathis Giallelis (born 1941), twenty-two years old at the time of production, who is in virtually every scene of the nearly three-hour movie.
The film begins in the late 1890s, as young Greek Stavros Topouzoglou (Giallelis), living in an impoverished village in Turkish Anatolia witnesses brutal oppression by the Turkish authorities of the Greek and Armenian minorities. He is entrusted by his father with the family's financial resources in a mission of hope to the Turkish capital Constantinople (renamed Istanbul in 1930), where he would work in the carpet business of his father's cousin (Harry Davis), although his own dream is to reach the faraway land of opportunity, America. His odyssey begins with a long voyage on a donkey and on foot through the impoverished towns and villages on the way to Constantinople. Due to his kind nature and naivete, he allows himself to be deprived of all his money and arrives at the cousin's home penniless. The older man is deeply disappointed at this turn of events since he was counting on the infusion of funds to rescue his failing enterprise. Nevertheless, he attempts to salvage the situation by proposing that Stavros marry a wealthy merchant's (Paul Mann) young daughter (Linda Marsh). Stavros realizes that such a marriage would mean the end of his American dream and adamantly refuses, abruptly leaving the angry cousin.
Now homeless on the streets of the capital, Stavros survives by eating discarded food and working at backbreaking and hazardous jobs. After nearly a year of scrimping and self-denial, he has some savings, but an encounter with an enticing beauty (Joanna Frank) leaves him, once again, bereft of income. Sinking even lower, he now finds himself living in an overcrowded subterranean hovel, which becomes a scene of chaos and bloodshed when it is attacked with gunfire by authorities purportedly searching for anarchists and revolutionaries. Severely injured in the mayhem, the unconscious Stavros is thrown among piles of dead bodies slated for disposal into the sea. He subsequently topples from the cart transporting the bodies and painfully makes his way to the cousin's residence. The relative takes pity on the young man and allows him to recover at his home. Deprived now of all resistance, Stavros agrees to marry his intended bride. Upon being questioned by her regarding his moodiness, however, he admits that he still plans to emigrate to America, using the dowry money to pay for his passage. She then entreats him to take her along, admitting that she feels no hope in her present situation.
At this point Stavros becomes reacquainted with Hohannes (Gregory Rozakis), a young Armenian, whom Stavros aided with food and clothing during his original voyage to Istanbul. Hohannes informs him that he is being sponsored to America by an employer seeking labor. The offer is also extended to Stavros and his dream now seemed within reach. He tells his intended that he could not marry her, and subsequently embarks on the voyage. There is, however, another major impediment—an affair with the young wife (Katherine Balfour) of an older businessman (Robert H. Harris), well-known to his former prospective father-in-law. The older man lodges a criminal charge against Stavros, which would result in deportation back to Turkey. As everything looks bleak, however, the tubercular Hohannes exchanges documents with Stavros, allowing him to enter America in Hohannes' place.
With the climactic image of the Statue of Liberty as the boatload of immigrants docks in New York Harbor, Stavros puts his tribulations behind him, starting out as a shoeshine boy and gathering the pennies and dollars that will eventually bring his family to the land where their descendants, including Elia Kazan, will have the chance to fulfill their potential.
