_ Accused WikiLeaker Manning sent to court-martial
By Matthew Hay Brown, The Baltimore Sun 6:39 p.m. EST, February 3, 2012

WASHINGTON —— The commander of the Military District of Washington has ordered a court-martial for Pfc. Bradley E. Manning, the former intelligence analyst accused of giving hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks.

Maj. Gen. Michael S. Linnington made the decision Friday after reviewing testimony and arguments from a preliminary hearing at Fort Meade in December, officials said.

There was no word on whether the as-yet-unscheduled court-martial would also be held at Fort Meade, one of three installations within the military district equipped to host such a proceeding.

Manning, 24, is charged with aiding the enemy and violating the Espionage Act. If convicted, he could be sentenced to life in prison.

Manning is accused of sending raw field reports from Iraq and Afghanistan, diplomatic cables from U.S. embassies around the world and a video of a U.S. helicopter attack in Baghdad to be published online.

The U.S. Army Trial Judiciary will now assign a military judge, who will set a date for Manning's arraignment, motion hearings and trial.

During a preliminary hearing in December, Army prosecutors called computer forensic investigators who testified that materials uploaded to WikiLeaks came from computers on which Manning worked.

__(AP) MOSCOW (AP) —Officials say at least seven men have died and scores are feared dead after a floating oil rig off Russia's east coast capsized and sank on Sunday.

A spokeswoman for the Emergencies Ministry said Monday that rescue workers have pulled out seven bodies, while 46 men remain missing. Fourteen people were plucked alive from the icy waters immediately after the accident.

Dmitry Dmitriyenko, governor of the Murmansk region in Russia's north-west where 33 of the men come from, urged friends and families not to lose hope late Sunday, but admitted the chance of the men surviving in the one degree Celsius (33.8 Fahrenheit) water is approaching zero.

"This is a terrible disaster which took the crew unawares," he said in a statement. "But there is still a chance."

The Emergencies Ministry said that 67 people had been aboard the platform as it was being towed about 120 miles off the coast of Sakhalin, a large island just north of Japan in the Sea of Okhotsk in the western Pacific Ocean that until the late 19th century had been the Russian Empire's most remote penal colony.

Of the 67 people aboard, 53 were crewmembers and 14 were workers and support staff, RIA Novosti news agency reported.

Court: No right to resist illegal cop entry into home
By Dan Carden dan.carden@nwi.com | nwitimes.com | Posted: Thursday, May 12, 2011 3:36 pm

INDIANAPOLIS | Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.

In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer's entry.

"We believe ... a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence," David said. "We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest."

Gadhafi's youngest son, grandkids killed in NATO attack
msnbc.com news services
TRIPOLI, Libya — Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi survived a NATO missile strike Saturday that killed his youngest son and three grandchildren and wounded friends and relatives, Libya's spokesman said.

Gadhafi and his wife were in the Tripoli house of son Saif al-Arab Gadhafi, 29, when it was hit by at least one missile fired by a NATO warplane, according to Libyan spokesman Moussa Ibrahim.

Libyan officials took journalists to the one-story house in a wealthy residential neighborhood. Some areas of the roof were caved in, leaving strings of reinforcing steel hanging down among chunks of concrete.

A table football machine stood outside in the garden of the house.

Ibrahim said the villa was attacked "with full power."

"This was a direct operation to assassinate the leader of this country," the spokesman added.

"The leader himself is in good health," Ibrahim said. "He was not harmed. The wife is also in good health."

Saif al-Arab Gadhafi, the colonel's sixth son, had spent much of his time in Germany in recent years.

The strike came after Gadhafi early Saturday called for negotiations with NATO powers to end airstrikes on Libya.

The Unparalleled Divide

I look around my country and I can hardly recognize her anymore. I see devastated lives all around me. As I drive up and down the streets of my hometown, I see empty buildings, boarded up businesses and the lines for social services longer than I can ever remember. Our country, the land of milk and honey, now lies on the brink of total economic disaster. Oh, we’re told that she’s making a come back, but does the reality around us prove otherwise?

I ask you, if nothing else, to look no further than your own situation and of those around you. Is our economy thriving? Are you working harder and longer for less or the same? Have you personally lost your job or even your home? What about your friends and family? Are you satisfied with the status quo? I’m here to tell you, this is not how it’s supposed to be!

One of the most logical things to do when one spends the time to discover the root of the problem, is to get involved, have your voice be heard, and above all else make a difference! As one begins the journey of activism, it doesn’t take long to realize the divide taking place amongst my fellow Americans. I have been searching for organizations that are trying to make a difference, only to find that many of them are indeed a part of the problem. Those on the Right have a nickname for those on the left – “Socialists”. Not to be outdone, those on the Left likewise, have a nickname for those on the Right – “Racists”. Other names like Neocon, Fear Monger, Fascist, Conspiracy Theorist, Communist and others ring loudly from time to time also.

Now I have to ask you, did we or did we not learn in grade school, that pointing fingers and calling names never achieved a thing? Is there anyone reading this that cannot see the logic and importance of uniting our nation instead of forming cliques that never get anything accomplished? What we are doing is the equivalent to a dog chasing its’ tail. Meanwhile, as we continue to bicker back and forth with each other, our country is coming apart at the seams. “This” side pushes one way, while the “That” side pushes back. We call this progress?

I want you to know that this does not have to be our reality. There is a solution and there is something we can ALL do to help out. There is one purpose to unite for, that I believe EVERY Red Blooded American can get involved with and take a stand for. I want you to read the following quotes from our past Presidents. When you have done so, I believe you will see the root of most of the problems we see in America today.

“If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency,          first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up
around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake
up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.”  – Thomas Jefferson

"History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and it's  issuance."    – James Madison

“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used    the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be    true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves.” – Andrew Jackson

“Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.” –  James A. Garfield

"The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, (and) more selfish    than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear.    Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe...corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed." – Abraham Lincoln

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."– Woodrow Wilson

“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson.”
– Franklin D. Roosevelt

“The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.” – John F. Kennedy

As you may have guessed by now, what I am referring to is the Federal Reserve System. So many warnings yet here we are in the midst of the biggest stronghold on our economy ever experienced in American history. Why we ever thought creating such a system was a good idea is beyond me. Let’s have a look at a few reasons why the Federal Reserve is an illegal system, unconstitutional and quite simply, just a bad idea.

1. It is privately owned

2. The proceedings within are secret even to our government

3. It is fiat, money printed out of thin air

4. It is corrupt, we never get straight answers

5. No dollar is printed without a debt attached to it.

6. It is a Ponzi scheme – it is designed to fail

Until we rid our country of the system of the select few ABOVE our government’s power, we will never experience the changes we all so desire. Many who have fought to keep such a system out of our great nation have been assassinated for their efforts.  Have a look throughout history, read the President’s quotes above, We the People must now rise to the occasion UNITED under the basic and crucial concept to have a government Of the people, For the people, By the people.  The days of complacency are over. The time to take our country back is now!

The last thing I would ever ask of you, is to put aside your beliefs or moral fiber. What I am asking is for you to realize the importance of returning our nation to sound economic practices. A system controlled by government that we vote for and not to be privately owned and secretive.  I ask that you see the logic in having a system that is transparent and benefits all, not just a select few. Our politicians are controlled by very few and powerful people. Can you Republican and you Democrat see what is happening here?

When our government can get back to working for We the People instead of the those pulling the strings above them, then we will begin to see prosperity.  We need to take that first step in unity and decide together right here and now, that we deserve better. There is legislation on the table to audit the Federal Reserve. It is HR 459. This Bill is sponsored by Rep Ron Paul and co-sponsored by 101 other Representatives. This movement is heading in the right direction. Will you help get this Bill into law? Please take a look at the current list of Representatives in favor of Auditing the Federal Reserve. If your Representative is not on this list, please write or call them today and ask for their support.  Contact your Representative: àhttp://www.contactingthecongress.org/ .

As we move forward, we have an incredible opportunity to create for ourselves and for generations to come, a land where life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness can be achieved once more. So as Americans, I ask you today to take a stand against the infiltration of our economic and political systems by the private interests that have drove our great nation into the ground. The task at hand is a monumental one that can be achieved, but only if we stand united!

Sincerely,
A Fellow American

Clinton: US ambassador to Mexico resigns
Mexican president objected to leaked cables; envoy's girlfriend choice also an issue
WASHINGTON — The U.S. ambassador to Mexico, who wrote a cable that questioned how Mexico coordinates the war against drug traffickers, has resigned.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in Paris to meet with U.S. allies on Libya, released a statement Saturday announcing Carlos Pascual's departure.

Clinton said Pascual's decision was "based upon his personal desire to ensure the strong relationship between our two countries and to avert issues" raised by President Felipe Calderon.

Clinton didn't say specifically what she was referring to. But Calderon was quoted in a newspaper in February as taking umbrage at a cable that Pascual wrote questioning whether the various Mexican security agencies and military were properly coordinating effort to control the drug problem there. His cable was divulged by the WikiLeaks website.

Leaked cables written by U.S. Embassy personnel depicted Mexico's armed forces and police agencies as:......

Syrian Police Attack Mourners
By THE NEW YORK TIMES
Published: March 19, 2011

DAMASCUS, Syria — More than 20,000 people marched Saturday in the southern Syrian town of Dara’a in funerals for protesters killed in demonstrations the day before, and the police used truncheons and tear gas to disperse the mourners.

Protests broke out in four cities on Friday, a rare event in a police state that brutally represses dissent. At the largest one, a march of several thousand people in Dara’a, a police crackdown killed six people.

The funeral procession on Saturday became a protest in its own right, with marchers calling for more freedoms and an end to Syria’s longstanding emergency law, witnesses said. They chanted, “The people want an end to corruption,” and, “The blood of our martyrs won’t be forgotten.” They repeated the demands made in the march on Friday: that the mayor and a local security chief should be fired for their role in arresting of a group of children two weeks ago for writing protest graffiti.

TOKYO (AFP) – The yen briefly touched a four-month high against the dollar in early Asian trade on Monday with currency markets responding to Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami.

As of 8:40 am (2340 GMT Sunday), the dollar changed hands at 81.25 yen against 81.91 in New York late Friday. The euro traded at 113.53 yen, compared with 113.89 in New York.

At one point, the yen briefly surged to 80.60 against the dollar, the highest since November 9.

Market participants are now watching for any rise to 80.00 yen versus the dollar, dealers said, which could trigger....
