February , 2011 -- The problem with Rice...

http://harlemworldblog.wordpress.com/2009/07/13/harlem-swag-dc-flavor-shes-got-game/


President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been criticized by Libyan opposition leaders, as well as pro-democracy forces in Egypt and other Arab countries, for their tepid response to Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's brutal and genocidal crackdown on Libyans trying to topple his regime. At the core of the Obama administration's wishy-washy response to the events in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, and other Arab countries experiencing a wave of pro-democracy revolts against seemingly-intractable dictators is the presence of Susan Rice in the top foreign policy apparatus of the Obama administration.

In her previous jobs as President Clinton's chief of the African desk at the National Security Council and later as Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs and now, as Obama's ambassador to the UN, Rice has a history of supporting Africa's "strong man" dictators. In conversation after conversation with African opposition leaders, this editor was told, in no uncertain terms, that Rice is seen by many in the democratic opposition to African dictators as opposing free and fair elections and opposition political parties.... In 1998 in Uganda, Rice told opponents of Ugandan dictator Yoweri Museveni, who just won re-election in a fraudulent election given a stamp of approval by George Soros- and CIA-backed non-government organizations (NGOs) acting as election monitors, that they should simply join Museveni's universal political party and "forget opposing him."

Museveni is a friend of Qaddafi and Museveni, his family, and members of his inner circle have lucrative business deals with members of Qaddafi's family, including Qaddafi's son and heir apparent Saif al-Islam Qaddafi. We previously reported on Saif's close relationship with members of the Rothschild family and British Lord Peter Mandelson and MOSSAD/CIA.....

Rice also maintained close relations with a series of leaders of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), including its late founder, Dr. John Garang. The SPLM is ushering South Sudan into independence in July, a goal long sought by MOSSAD/CIA and Rice. Rice has also been very close to Rwanda's brutal dictator Paul Kagame. Rice has also supported Ethiopia's dictator Meles Zenawi. We have been told that Rice has an almost pathological hatred for Sudan's leader Omar Hassan al-Bashir and Eritrea's President Isaias Afwerki. One African opposition leader explained Rice's hostility to the Sudanese and Eritrean leaders: "When you are in bed with dictators, their enemies become your enemies."

However, it is Rice's highly-questionable relationships with dictators like Museveni and others in Africa that have resulted in the greatest angst among those who are trying to oust various African strongmen. We have been told that during the Clinton administration, Rice, wearing short mini-skirts and high leather boots, would flirt during trips to Africa with African leaders and there are strong suspicions that Rice's contacts with some of these leaders extended from the conference room into the bedroom.

At one meeting in Africa, at which a number of African senior leaders and diplomats, including foreign ministers, were in attendance, one former African prime minister told this editor that he wondered who "the giggling young schoolgirl was." He later discovered, to his chagrin, that it was Rice.

Rice, who is the god-daughter of Albright and a Rhodes scholar, owes her influence in foreign policy to the fact that she is widely touted as a potential replacement for Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. She is also married to ABC News producer Ian Cameron who produces Christiane Amanpour's influential Sunday morning program. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have always been skeptical of Rice's commitment to the aspirations of the African people, citing her as one of Washington's "assimilated black elite." Rice's father, Emmett Rice, was a Federal Reserve Bank governor. From 2001 to 2002, before joining the Brookings Institution, Rice was managing director of Intellibridge, founded by Kissinger & Associates alum David Rothkopf. In 2004, Rice was a foreign policy adviser to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, who is the only other person being mentioned as a serious replacement for Hillary Clinton at Foggy Bottom.

It is clear that with Rice leading the U.S. delegation at the UN and her having a strong influential role in U.S. policy in North Africa and the Middle East, the U.S. has taken a stand-offish stance vis a vis the revolts that ousted dictators like Egypt's Hosni Mubarak and Tunisia's Zine el Abidine Ben Ali and may soon oust Libya's Qaddafi and Yemen's Ali Abdullah Saleh. With an eyelash-batting representative of the United States sending supportive signals to Africa's long-serving dictators, the Obama administration has signaled its intentions: preserving the status quo in Africa and the Middle East, no matter how many pro-democracy protesters die under the tank treads and with the bullets supplied by the United States, Israel and its European allies....

Beware the government's avatars, especially fear your own...


February , 2011 -- Beware the government's avatars, especially fear your own...
Avatars, not just for science fiction movies anymore....






The Department of Homeland Security is conducting massive spying on Internet users through a program called "Avatar Identity." The existence of the program was disclosed to us by a source who stated that the development of avatars for every user of the Internet had its beginnings with the U.S. Air Force and the Advance Research Projects Agency (ARPANET) at the outset of the fielding of World Wide Web (WWW) technology in the early 1990s.

Army of Fake Social Media Friends to Promote Propaganda: ". . . it would take very few people to create "an army of sock-puppets" which could distort the truth while appearing to be "an entire Brooks Brothers riot online."

At the core of Homeland Security's Avatar Identity Program is the reliance on genetic algorithms developed for the analysis of the stock market to come up with prime investment strategies. The program was developed through the aegis of the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA), which inherited many of the invasive Internet surveillance programs from its Pentagon cousin, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), after its programs, including the proposed Total Information Awareness program, were defunded by Congress

The Avatar Identity Program appears to coincide with another Air Force project to solicit "persona management software" to create virtual users on the Internet in order to conduct perception management campaigns to inundate chat rooms, letter to the editor, and on-line polls to sway public opinion on key issues.

It was also recently revealed that the computer security firm HB Gary Federal worked in a program to create and manage "sock puppet" Internet users to infiltrate websites to create confusion and propagate disinformation. The program was to be used to attack WikiLeaks and apparently was linked to the US Chamber of Commerce, the Bank of America, the bank's chief law firm Hunton & Williams, and two other technology firms that later withdrew from participation: Palantir Technologies and Berico Technologies. More ominous is the report that it was the Department of Justice recommended the use of HB Gary Federal, Palantir, and Berico (known as Team Themis, which would operate a Corporate Information Reconnaissance Cell [CIRC]
) to the Chamber, the Bank of America, and Hunton & Williams to engage in the sock puppet management operation. The program matches recommendations from White House Office of Information Regulatory Affairs chief Dr. Cass Sunstein, who has referred to such operations as "cognitive infiltration."

However, Homeland Security's Avatar Identity program involves the creation of an avatar for every Internet user that pulls information from the actual user's Google searches, Twitter messages, Facebook postings, on-line commerce activities, and other web interactions and feeds the transactions to the avatar program. Intelligence analysts then query the avatar for details of the user's activities.


Your Internet avatar is watching you and snitching on you....



We were informed that the Avatar Identity Program was first developed for every known terrorist in the world. However, it has now expanded to include every Internet user and it is being aggressively used to identify and track down members of the hacktivist group "Anonymous," which has attacked the computer systems of HB Gary Federal, Bank of America, and other firms seen as waging a war against Internet freedom.

As an example of its practical use, the Avatar Identity Program records all on-line letters to President Obama sent via the White House web site, as well as any searches for Obama on the Internet.

Our source explained the avatar program by saying, "Every Internet user has a life on the Internet," adding, "but with the avatar, every user has a second life on the web." In the case of the avatar, every Internet user has a virtual "snitch" that reports their every action and movement on the web to the government.

Leo Strauss and the Noble Lie:
The Neo-Cons/ZioCons at War....

“The global reach of American [mass] culture threatened to trivialize life and turn it into entertainment. This is as terrifying as a specter for Strauss as it was for Alexandre Kojève and Carl Schmidt… All three of them were convinced that liberal economics …destroys politics; all three understood politics as a conflict between mutually hostile groups willing to fight each other to the death… In short, they all thought that man’s humanity depended on his willingness to rush naked into battle and headlong to his death. Only perpetual war can overturn the modern project with its emphasis on self- preservation and creature comforts. [Through war] Life can be politicized once more, and man’s humanity can be restored. This terrifying vision fits perfectly well with the desire for honor and glory that the neo-conservative gentlemen covet. The combination of religion and nationalism is the elixir that Strauss advocates as the way to turn natural, relaxed, hedonistic men into devout nationalists willing to fight and die for their God and country. I never imagined when I wrote my first book on Strauss that the unscrupulous elite that he celebrates would ever come so close to political power… But fear is the greatest ally of tyranny.”[vi]
