The Dragnet Surveillance Program, NSA's Gem of Tracking World Phone Telecommunications, at an End?

""Congress is up against a tight deadline to extend or reform Section 215 of the Patriot Act, the provision that the government claims authorizes the National Security Agency’s phone-data program, before it sunsets on June 1. Naturally, the legislature is in a state of disarray.
The House has already passed the USA Freedom Act, which would put modest limits on the intelligence agency for the first time in decades. Now the Senate is under pressure to act before lawmakers leave for recess Thursday afternoon. If they do nothing, Section 215 will expire hours before they return to Washington, imperiling not only the phone records program but whatever other still-secret intelligence-gathering activities the government conducts under the statute.
The USA Freedom Act is hardly radical. One of its main components—mandating that phone companies store phone records instead of the government—was initially suggested by former NSA Director Keith Alexander, and it’s been endorsed by President Obama. But a major blockage to the reform bill has been Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, who proposed instead to extend the current version of Section 215 for five years, and then last week offered a two-month extension. GOP leadership in the House indicated that an extension of any length was a non-starter and that they would not wait around while the Senate hemmed and hawed. In other words, McConnell could accept the USA Freedom Act, or nothing.
On Tuesday McConnell retreated slightly, and announced that he would allow a vote on the reform bill. It isn’t clear if it has the 60 votes needed to pass; McConnell seemed to be betting that it would fail and Congress might then accept a short-term extension rather than letting Section 215 expire completely.
Things got even more dramatic on Wednesday afternoon, when Rand Paul showed up to stage a “filibuster.”At the time of this writing Paul is speaking on the Senate floor, but it’s not totally clear what he’s doing there. It’s not technically a filibuster, and the first thing it disrupts will likely be work on the fast-track trade bill. There’s some speculation that Paul is trying to run out the clock in order to block both a clean extension of Section 215 and the USA Freedom Act, which he opposes on the grounds that it does not go far enough (as do some civil-liberties groups). Whatever his other goals are, it’s definitely at least partly a campaign stunt. “As you read this, I will be on the Senate floor to launch my filibuster to stop ANY extension or reauthorization of the ‘PATRIOT Act’s’ unconstitutional and illegal domestic spying programs,” he wrote to donors.
Oregon Senator and NSA critic Ron Wyden joined Paul on the floor, where he promised “to use every procedural tool available to me” to prevent an extension of the bulk-phone-records program. Wyden also criticized supporters of surveillance programs for waiting until the last minute and then claiming, “‘Oh my goodness! It is a dangerous world! We’ve got to continue this program to protect us.’” As he and Paul chatted, Wyden suggested that they could continue indefinitely.""

America's Alien Refugee-Resettlement Program Brings Waves of Foreign Immigration Intrusion

""A source within the government has informed me that we should brace for another massive wave of immigration this summer coming up through the Central American corridor. Further, America’s participation in the Refugee/Resettlement program is endangering the national security of this country. Both of these irresponsible and illegal actions by the Obama administration begs the answer to certain questions: What does the future hold for a country that refuses to protect its citizens from foreign intrusion by criminal elements? How many third world immigrants can the United States absorb until the United States becomes a third world country? Finally, what are the immediate national security implications of these reckless actions by Obama?

The Chesterton Prophecies

America’s future has already been foretold in G. K. Chesterton’s, The Flying Inn (1914). The book provides present day Americans with an opportunity to understand what is happening to their loss of culture and of national sovereignty. The book consists of a “fictional” account of how England had been stripped of its cultural identity. The book was written at the end of the British imperialistic period of dominance in which England had collapsed under the sheer weight of attempting to maintain its vast empire.
In the book, Chesterton maintains that England had lost far more than its preeminent position as the world’s sole super power. He postulated that England had lost its national soul through the unintended integration of its culture with more “barbaric cultures” that it had previously conquered.
The protagonist in The Flying Inn, Dalroy, proclaimed that great nations have frequently followed a similar pattern of progressive and complete self-destruction:
  1. The great nation declares victory over the barbarians.
  2. The great nation begins to enjoy the fruits of cheap labor by employing the barbarians that it had conquered.
  3. The barbarians become so enmeshed into the great nation, that an alliance with barbarians is formed (e.g., de facto amnesty including members of criminal organizations like the Sinaloa drug cartel).
  4. Assimilation is followed with the barbarians becoming a privileged class (e.g. free medical). Thus, the great nation is conquered.
Near the end of the book, almost every virtuous cultural tradition, of the great nation, comes under sharp criticism, while every cultural tradition emanating from the barbarians’ place of origin became praiseworthy while the majority culture’s traditions are held in contempt.

History Does Indeed Repeat Itself

Certainly the relationship between the United States and various countries south of our border parallels Chesterton’s stunningly accurate prophecies by describing what has happened to present day America. Consider the following American parallels which strikingly correspond to Dalroy’s view of how empires crumble:
  1. The economies of the two cultures bifurcate and the United States begins to enjoy the fruits of its imperialistic labors. The conquered people provides nearly 160 years of cheap labor which helps to fuel the economic growth of the United States. Guest workers and illegal immigrants trickle into the United States, or they are resettled in the United States by Obama. Despite the comparatively low wages, more immigrants come into America to experience the bountiful leftovers of their former conquerors. This trend continues to the point in which the original trickle of guest workers and illegal immigrants becomes a raging tsunami of humanity most of whom are seeking to experience the American dream at the expense of their former conquerors. The great nation fully employs those that it had conquered. Dalroy’s second principle is fulfilled.
  2. Average American citizens begin to note the loss of economic standing, culture and traditions. “Special privilege” programs, such as Totalization, deportation instead of criminal prosecution for organized criminal activities, free medical and free education, serve to fully integrate the former illegal aliens into the mainstream of American society. To frame the desired paradigm shift, legal terms such as “illegal alien” become likened to racial epitaphs uttered during the worst days of the old “Jim Crow” laws. The “politically correct police” (i.e., the corporate media) label all Americans who desire to secure their borders, in this age of terrorism, as racists and xenophobic. The alliance has been formed. Dalroy’s second principle is fulfilled.
  3. Illegal immigrant subgroups (e.g., Reconquista de Atzalan, MECHA) begin to proclaim that the takeover of America is moving forward and if the present occupants of this country do not like it; then these “Euros” can “go back to Europe.” (In this scenario, it’s not certain where American citizens whose historical roots lie in Africa, the Middle East, South America, Mexico, Panama, Canada, Asia, the Pacific Rim, the Caribbean, and most of all, Native Americans, are supposed to return to). At what point do we admit that the great nation of America has been conquered and is in the process of being successfully occupied?
Although the Flying Inn is fiction, in reality, its tenets are being realized as nearly every tradition that Americans hold sacred, are coming under attack (e.g., the virtues and value of American citizenship); while everything from the illegal aliens’ point of origin is becoming more praiseworthy by the day (e.g., “We do the jobs that Americans won’t”). The propaganda lines have been drawn.
Most disturbingly, the violence once confined to south of the border has reared its ugly head inside what’s left of the United States southern border. “What is truly needed to successfully interdict the drug cartels is the stationing of 3,000 heavily armed soldiers for Arizona alone,” Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu once said. One other noteworthy scenario in Chesterton’s book is the ominous ending in which the principal Western democracy ends up merging with a Middle Eastern country. Can anyone say “Sharia Law?”

The Worst Danger Is Being Ignored

“Todos los Europeos son Illegals desde 1492”
(“All Europeans Illegal since 1492″)
—Handwritten sign carried by a street demonstrator, New York City, La Marcha, April 10, 2006
The above quote is reflective of a view that is embraced by the Obama administration in which the President is intent on importing millions more immigrants regardless of their country of origin, their legal status, their possible terrorist affiliations, and Obama refuses to allow the FBI to screen these new “refugees” which come from places like Somalia, Syria and several other countries with strong terrorist ties and a history of hating the United States and its American residents.
Aztlán is the name for the mythical place of origin of the Aztec people. In the politics of illegal immigration, Aztlán has come to represent that part of the U.S. that the Reconquista movement intends to reclaim for an expanded Mexico.
The goal of creating Aztlán is the dream of another radical organization, the Moviemento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán, which translates as the “Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán,” more commonly abbreviated to the acronym known as MEChA.”  There are several local high school and college chapters which advocate for the breakup of the United States and a return of Atzlan to Mexico while expelling the European interlopers.
mecha symbol
The symbol of MEChA is a black eagle against a red background. The eagle holds in its right claw a weapon similar to a machete, and in its left hand a stick of dynamite. In the beak of the eagle is the lighted fuse needed to blast the dynamite. I have come to the opinion that the lighted fuse needed to blast the dynamite is Jade Helm 15.

Undeniable Links Between Jade Helm and Reconquista Atzlan

Maps drawn to illustrate Aztlán usually redefine Mexico to include much of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas but have been expanded to Nevada, Colorado, and Utah.""
Please compare the similarities between the originally announced Jade Helm states and the states associated with Reconquista de Aztlan.  Given the history of this administration does any truly believe that the coincidence of states in these two maps is an accident?

US Army Recruiting Illegal Immigrants by the Border Truckload

""The Pentagon is speeding up its recruitment of illegal immigrants in a program that fast-tracks them to U.S. citizenship, as Congress debates allowing the military to do so.
Since January, the Pentagon has enlisted 81 illegal immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children and qualify for President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, according to figures provided by the Army on Thursday. 
Between January and April 8, only 43 had been enlisted, an Army spokesman said.
Since then, at least 38 more recruits have signed up. 
But in Congress, members are debating whether illegal immigrants should lawfully be allowed to join the armed forces. 
Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), a Marine veteran and son of Hispanic immigrants, inserted a provision in the 2016 defense policy bill that would encourage the Defense secretary to consider qualified illegal immigrants as "vital" to national security. 
The House is scheduled to debate the bill next week, but some House Republicans, led by Rep. Mo Brooks (Ala.), are trying to strip the provision, arguing it endangers the measure's passage.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said he will propose an amendment during consideration of the bill to remove the provision if it has not already happened by then. 
Gallego's plan could help pave the way for more DACA participants to be recruited through a Pentagon program known as the Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest program, or MAVNI. 
That program was created for legal immigrants with medical training or critical language skills deemed vital to the national security, according to its creator, retired Lt. Col. Margaret Stock. 
The MAVNI program stalled last year after the Pentagon last September extended eligibility to qualified illegal immigrants, since the program was not designed to accept people without legal documents. 
This year, the Pentagon expanded the number of slots available from 1,500 to 3,000, and is slated to expand that number to 5,000 in October. 
Army spokesman Wayne Hall said the 81 MAVNI enlistees have signed enlistment contracts but are not yet officially in the Army. ""

Hardware Entering Key Test Phase for the James Webb Space Telescope Flagship Program Project

James Webb Space Telescope 

hardware entering key test phase

no alt
""An array of high tech instruments are being put through their paces ahead of becoming part of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The successor to the Hubble Space Telescope – JWST engineers are currently testing hardware to ensure it will be able to function properly 1.5 million miles from Earth. The spacecraft is preparing for a launch late in 2018.

JWST:

Set for launch in October, 2018 via an Ariane 5 launch vehicle, JWST will be the scientific successor to the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes.
The hugely expensive project came close to cancellation in 2011, after the program suffered with schedule slips and budget overruns. With $3 billion already spent on the JWST program, along with 75 percent of its hardware already in production, the telescope was given a stay of execution, albeit with costs capped at $8 billion.
It was originally forecast to cost just $1.6 billion.
JWSTThe project has NASA, ESA and the CSA as the lead partners, but includes a collaboration of about 17 countries in total.
To be located 1.5 million kilometers from Earth at the Earth-Sun Lagrangian point L2, JWST’s 6.5-meter diameter primary mirror – a gold coated beryllium reflector – and four specialized instruments ensure the spacecraft will provide unprecedented resolution and sensitivity from long-wavelength visible to the mid-infrared.
Unlike Hubble’s single monolithic primary mirror, JWST’s primary mirror is made up of 18 individual, adjustable segments that will be aligned in space.
2015-01-07 19_56_13-nircam1.jpg (720×653)The spacecraft’s array of instrumentation is currently being tested to ensure it can survive the extremes of space, with the most recent test involving the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument, which is the primary imager covering the infrared wavelength range 0.6 to 5 microns.
NIRCam will detect light from the earliest stars and galaxies in the process of formation, the population of stars in nearby galaxies, as well as young stars in the Milky Way and Kuiper Belt objects.
NIRCam is equipped with coronagraphs, instruments that allow astronomers to take pictures of very faint objects around a central bright object, like stellar systems. Its coronagraphs work by blocking a brighter object’s light, making it possible to view the dimmer object nearby.
2015-01-07 19_55_13-Satnews Publishers_ Daily Satellite NewsWith the coronagraphs, astronomers hope to determine the characteristics of planets orbiting nearby stars, which is of great interest over recent years,thanks to the discoveries made by NASA’s Kepler spacecraft. ""

It's Official: Most Controversial Counterterrorism Measures in U.S. History (VIPR) [TSA, CBP, ICE] Program Introduced in State of Tennessee



""October 19, 2011   One of the most controversial counterterrorism measures in U.S. history, the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) program was officially introduced in the state of Tennessee on Tuesday, and chances are that more states will soon follow.
VIPR teams include Federal Air Marshals, explosive-detection canine teams, Aviation Security Inspectors, and Transportation Security Officers. Other agencies that have participated in VIPR exercises, although not fomally listed as VIPR members, include representatives from CBP and ICE.

In April 2011, Homeland Security, TSA, CBP, ICE and local law enforcement officers surprised unsuspecting commuters at a Tampa Greyhound bus station, leaving many shaken. Commuters were met by dozens of local, state and federal law enforcement agents dressed in black SWAT-style uniforms.
""

#############################################

""The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and TSA officials confirmed that two “routine operations” occurred on the same day at separate locations in Des Moines, Iowa.  In Chicago, recent VIPR sightings include the Ogilvie train station downtown and another back in January at a station in Hinsdale, IL.  In November and December 2010 VIPR teams were highly visible at train stations.  Since July 4, 2007, TSA confirmed that Chicago participated in several national and local VIPR operations.

On June 14, 2011  TSA Chief John Pistole testified before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation that evidence seized from Osama bin-Laden’s computer files revealed al-Qaeda plans to target U.S. rails, prompting the agency's stepped-up random and unpredictable operations by its Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) teams. Pistole's excuse hardly explains why in the last year more than 300 of the operations were performed in the state of Iowa alone.

However, Tennessee officials say the statewide "VIPR" operation isn't in response to any particular threat. Tennessee's VIPR was deployed simultaneously at five weigh stations and at two bus bus terminals in Nashville and Knoxville across the state, for a total of seven locations.
