Snooky Pryor - How'd You Learn To Shake It Like That
"Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
This Republic's life is not in peril. The nation has sold its honor for a phrase. ["Our country, right or wrong."] It has swung itself loose from its safe anchorage and is drifting, its helm is in pirate hands. The stupid phrase needed help and it got another one: "Even if the war be wrong we are in it and we must fight it out: we cannot retire from it without dishonor." Why, not even a burglar could have said it better. We cannot withdraw from this sordid raid because to grant peace to those little people upon their terms - independence - would dishonor us. [...]
But it was impossible to save the Great Republic. She was rotten to the heart. Lust of conquest had long ago done its work; trampling upon the helpless abroad had taught her, by a natural process, to endure with apathy the like at home; multitudes who had applauded the crushing of other people’s liberties, lived to suffer for their mistake in their own persons."
-- Mark Twain

Is Obama really going back to war with a worse legal rationale than Bush? He still won't say
It was equal parts ironic and tragic watching US Secretary of State John Kerry testify before the Senate Foreign Relations committee this week, as he shamelessly made the case for a war without end against Isis. It was the same place he sat 43 years ago, as a young soldier, bravely and eloquently calling for an end to American fighting in Vietnam, his generation’s endless war – the same war that led to Congress passing the War Powers Resolution, the law the Obama administration has now decided it can completely disregard.
As with much of the White House’s secret and possibly illegal march back to Iraq and beyond, almost every aspect of Kerry’s testimony on Wednesday was riddled with holes. The Obama administration’s case for intervention begins and ends with the fantastical idea that it thinks it can use a law passed 13 years ago – before Isis even existed, and meant for the perpetrators of 9/11 – to start a war that White House officials freely admit will last for years, yet is aimed at a group that virtually all intelligence analysts agree is not an imminent threat to the United States.
Exactly how the administration thinks it can manage to go to war without getting Congress to vote on it is so perplexing, apparently they can’t even figure it out. Last week, “a senior administration official” floated the idea to the New York Times that the White House was claiming authority to wage war on Isis based on the Iraq War Resolution from 2002 – the very statute the Obama administration wanted to repeal just a year ago. But this week, with the Pentagon and Congress knocking, it seems Team Obama has abandoned that premise for going to war and returned to one of its initial justifications: the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that declared war on “those nations, organizations, or persons responsible for 9/11”.
Whatever the administration’s tortured and torture architect-approved logic for combatting Isis, they’ve made one thing clear: the American public aren’t allowed to see it. While they have announced that we are literally going to war for years, the government has so far refused to release any written analysis as to why it is apparently legal.
Dubya's lapdog says U.S., U.K. and other Western powers should not rule out deploying ground troops against ISIS
Speaking during an extensive interview with CNN, [The poodle, Tony] Blair said: “You certainly need to fight groups like ISIS on the ground. It is possible that those people who are there locally and who have the most immediate interest in fighting ISIS can carry on the ground offensive against them.
“But, look, this will evolve over time, I’m sure. And I’m sure that the leadership, both in the U.S. and elsewhere, will make sure that whatever is necessary to defeat ISIS is done,” he added.
He also said: “This problem isn’t going away, and I think you’ll find that the policy undergoes a process of evolution, where people realize in different situations you’re having different strategies, and there may be situations in which we are prepared to use combat force.”
Pentagon Determined to Keep Ground War Option Open in Iraq
Desperate to keep public sentiment from rising against his new war on ISIS, President Obama has repeatedly ruled out the use of ground combat troops in Iraq and Syria, albeit with some administration efforts to redefine what that actually means.
The Pentagon’s not at all keen on this “ruling out” of a ground war, particularly Army Chief Gen. Ray Odierno, who says he doesn’t think the US should ever rule anything out with the war.
Other Pentagon officials are also pushing back hard to get the “ruling out” thing limited significantly, with an apparent belief that once the mid-term elections have made public opinion less relevant, they can quickly escalate the war to include ground troops.
The White House has insisted they won’t consider any recommendations that involve a ground war, but again, they seem to be insisting that Special Operations forces don’t count in this regard, and seem to have some wiggle room.
New ISIS Propaganda Film Features Canadian-Sounding Fighter
The militant group Islamic State released a slick and disturbing new propaganda film, “Flames of War,” narrated entirely in English and featuring an Islamic State fighter who speaks with an American or Canadian accent.
“The flames of war are only beginning to intensify. Wallahi, the fighting has just begun,” the fighter says before he turns to execute a group of Syrian Army soldiers just forced to dig their own graves on camera.
A prominent linguistics professor told The Intercept that while the fighter was probably not a native English speaker, his accent is likely from either Canada or the northern areas of Minnesota and North Dakota. The degree of fluency indicated the fighter must have either lived for an extended time or been raised in North America, as opposed to being raised by North American parents abroad. The professor asked to remain anonymous due to this being a provisional opinion based on a short and low-quality segment of audio. ...
The Islamic State, also known as ISIS, is believed to have attracted some American recruits, but its videos have not highlighted such fighters.
Kurdish refugees from Islamic State clash with Turkish police
IRBIL, Iraq — Kurdish refugees desperate to flee advances by the Islamic State into the encircled Kurdish stronghold of Kobane began clashing with Turkish police Sunday as the siege that began last week became increasingly dire.
Kobane is surrounded on three sides by the Islamic State and to the north faces a Turkish government generally hostile to the Kurds, complicating the challenge of refugees trying to flee, and of pro-Kurdish fighters trying to rush in to help defend the beseiged town. Turkish authorities only agreed to open the border on Friday and since have been struggling to control an estimate 70,000 refugees who have flooded into Turkey.
The clashes come after the Islamic State began a rapid advance on Kobane in the last week, launching a sustained attack on the armed wing of the local ruling party, the People’s Protection Units or YPG. YPG officials said the advance has pushed their men to the brink of collapse even as Turkey has been reluctant to allow supplies and reinforcements into the besieged pocket.
UN To Cut Food Aid To Syria Because No One’s Giving Enough Money
The United Nations will have to cut food aid to more than six million Syrians next month because of shortfalls in funding, the World Food Program (WFP) is warning.
“To cut back on food rations, the most basic thing, is absolutely heartbreaking,” Bettina Luescher, WFP chief spokesperson for global issues, told BuzzFeed News.
WFP’s announcement preceded the opening of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York this week, where the ongoing Syria conflict, and regional spillover, is a top policy concern.
WFP needs $44m for immediate food assistance programs within Syria, and a further $56m for Syrians displaced in neighboring countries, The Guardian reported. Overall, WFP requires $352m to fund its Syria work through the end of the year, including $95m to support Syrians still inside the country and another $257m for refugees in neighboring countries, Luescher said.
The WFP is primarily funded by U.N. members states, international organizations, and private donations. According to current budget projections, WFP would need to raise $35m a week to continue with it’s current food assistance programs, Luescher said. The U.S., United Kingdom, and United Arab Emirates are among the top funders for Syria so far.
Hezbollah drones wreak havoc on Syrian rebel bases
For the first time in its history, [Israeli propaganda phrase deleted - js] Hezbollah carried out a successful unmanned aircraft strike, targeting al-Qaeda-linked Syrian rebel bases near the northeastern Lebanese town of Arsal early Sunday, according to the Iranian Fars News Agency.
Until Sunday’s battle with the Syrian rebels, Hezbollah had used unmanned aircraft primarily for reconnaissance missions, including an alleged operation across the Israeli border in April 2013, during which the Israel Defense Forces managed to down a suspected Hezbollah drone only 10 kilometers west of Haifa. At the time, the Shiite group’s leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, denied that the drone belonged to the organization.
The group’s unprecedented drone attack was reported to have killed at least 23 fighters from the extremist al-Nusra Front.
Hezbollah ground troops continued the offensive on the rebel bases, and several al-Nusra operatives were held captive by the Lebanese militia, the semi-official Iranian news agency reported. Abu Leith al-Shami, a Lebanese national, and a high ranking al-Nusra official, was also said to have been killed in battle with Hezbollah.
Hezbollah’s push-back against the al-Nusra Front comes a day after a suicide bomber killed a number of people at a checkpoint near Lebanon’s border with Syria, only hours after the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda had reportedly executed a Lebanese soldier.
Samantha Power: Syria Rebel Training to Aid in Fight Against Assad
US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power insisted the US plan to train and arm a new faction of Syrian rebels was not aimed simply at the destruction of ISIS, but was also meant to fight the Assad government in Syria. ...
Previous US attempts to train and arm rebels against ISIS have resulted in a large number of those rebels defecting to ISIS, and many of the US arms ending up in ISIS hands as well. Officials concede that the new plan is likely to result in more defections, though they insist the bulk of the force will remain opposed to ISIS.
Iranian talks with Saudi Arabia may signal thaw in relations
Iran and Saudi Arabia have held their first foreign minister-level meeting since the 2013 election of President Hassan Rouhani, official Iranian media have reported, signalling a possible thaw in relations between the rival Gulf powers.
Shia Muslim Iran and the conservative Sunni kingdom have been engaged in a bitter contest for influence in the region, evident in political and military struggles in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Bahrain and Yemen.
The Iranian foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, suggested after his meeting in New York with his Saudi counterpart, Prince Saud al-Faisal, that the talks could lead to an improvement in relations.
Powerful NSA Official Potentially Self-Dealing With Defense Contractor
The head of the NSA’s Signals Intelligence Directorate may be involved in a serious conflict of interest with a major defense contractor.
DRS Signal Solutions, a contractor offering signals intelligence (SIGINT) services to the defense industry, appears to be providing or seeking to provide services to the NSA even as it employs a vice president married to Teresa H. Shea, the head of the NSA’s Signals Intelligence Directorate. ...
Neither the NSA nor any of the individuals involved in this story would provide a direct response to inquiries by Buzzfeed. In turning down a public records request from the publication for Shea’s financial disclosure forms, the NSA cited the 1959 National Security Agency Act, which shields the NSA from being forced to disclose its activities or “the names, titles, salaries, or number of the persons employed by such agency,” among other things.

Google Acts Like Privatized NSA: WikiLeaks' Julian Assange
Google's practices are "almost identical" to those of the U.S. National Security Agency and its British counterpart, the GCHQ, Julian Assange has said.
"Google's business model is to spy," Assange told the BBC.
"It makes more than 80 percent of its money collecting information about people, pooling it together, storing it, indexing it, building profiles of people to predict their interests and behaviors and then selling those profiles principally to advertisers, but also to others." ...
Google has been involved "since at least 2002 working with the NSA; in terms of contracts they are formally listed as part of the defense industrial base. Since 2009 they've been engaged in the PRISM system where information collected by Google, nearly all information collected by Google, is available to the National Security Agency."
"Google has been reasonably successful in the U.S. debate shifting its collaboration with the NSA towards the NSA itself," he said.

Cameron faces pressure to seal Scotland deal
An attempt by David Cameron to outflank Labour on a new constitutional settlement for the UK ran into trouble on Sunday night when a senior Liberal Democrat cabinet minister said that the plans for devolution in England should not proceed without attempting a cross-party consensus.
As Downing Street was forced to issue an unequivocal "no ifs, no buts" declaration that the prime minister would deliver further powers to the Scottish parliament, Danny Alexander, chief secretary to the Treasury, criticised the Conservatives' handling of the aftermath of last week's referendum north of the border.
"It is deeply frustrating that briefings over the last 48 hours have distracted from the crystal-clear commitment of all parties to deliver the change Scotland voted for last week," Alexander told the Guardian. He is likely to sit on a cabinet committee overseeing devolution.
An 11th-hour vow by the three Westminster leaders last week, promising more devolution if Scotland rejected independence, has been in disarray after Cameron appeared to attach new conditions. The prime minister said on Friday that negotiations on only English MPs voting on English laws "must take place in tandem with, and at the same pace, as the settlement for Scotland".
Fears that the Tories were planning to renege on the pledge were fuelled when the Scottish-born Conservative chief whip, Michael Gove, said on Saturday that it would be "impossible" to devolve further powers to Scotland without addressing the position of Scottish MPs at Westminster.

Scottish National Party leader Alex Salmond steps down
Scottish National Party (SNP) leader Alex Salmond announced his sudden resignation, telling a press conference, "Right now there is a decision as to who is best placed to lead this process forward politically."
"I believe that in this new exciting situation, redolent with possibility, party, parliament and country would benefit from new leadership," Salmond said.
Salmond had previously said he would stay on as SNP leader through 2016, but on Friday told reporters he would not accept a new nomination at the party's annual conference in November. He is likely to be succeeded by his deputy, Nicola Sturgeon, whom he appointed to lead the referendum process.
Documents Reveal Efforts to Block Protections for Trans People in Canada
New documents obtained by VICE show just how the federal government has gone about blocking a bill that would afford human rights protections to trans people, and their concern with having a "societal debate" over protecting trans people from hate crimes. But Randall Garrison, the bill's proponent, might just trump them yet.
For a piece of legislation that the government said it held no formal position on, the Justice Department put a lot of work into making sure Conservative MPs knew what to think about the bill. ...
C-279 ... would protect trans people from hate propaganda and violent crimes under the Human Rights Act and Criminal Code. In explaining why that's a bad thing, MPs were issued talking points to riff on four themes: the government does not support the bill; anti-discrimination protections for trans people already exist; the Criminal Code already considers violence against trans people a hate crime; and 'gender identity' is too vague a term, and shouldn't be put into law.
There's been some speculation that political matters may have influenced the government's position on the bill, such as lobbying from social conservative groups who opposed the bill, or opposition from within the Conservatives' own caucus. But, then again, the Harper Government has always ignored social conservative criticism when campaigning for gay rights. The real issue may have more to do with the headaches that could come with empowering trans people to challenge the government to fund sexual reassignment surgery and to let trans people change the gender listed on official documents.
Detroit water shutoffs to be challenged in bankruptcy court
A hearing is scheduled in bankruptcy court on a motion to stop Detroit’s water department from shutting off service to residents with unpaid bills.
Attorneys for the city and opponents of the shutoffs are expected to present evidence on Monday before federal judge Steven Rhodes. ...
The water department stepped up shutoffs in March of accounts 60 days behind or owing more than $150. About 15,000 customers had service shut off in April through June.

"To assume that Obama, or the Democratic Party, because they acknowledge the reality of climate change, while the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party does not, is better equipped to deal with the crisis is incorrect. Republicans appeal to one constituency. The Democrats appeal to another. But both parties will do nothing to halt the ravaging of the planet."

Voices from the People’s Climate March: Indigenous Groups Lead Historic 400,000-Strong NYC Protest
Thousands Rally in New York for the People's Climate March
Tens of thousands of protestors turned out for the People's Climate March Sunday in Manhattan, toting hand-held banners and paper sunflowers, chanting slogans, and demanding action ahead of upcoming the UN climate summit in New York.
Overwhelming Manhattan's seemingly unwhelmable Midtown neighborhood, demonstrators rallied together in support of Mother Earth two days ahead of the UN summit, where nations are expected to lay the groundwork for a future carbon emissions plan. Any potential binding agreement is not expected to be made until the Climate Change Conference in Paris late next year.
Organizers had expected around 100,000 people to attend but announced Sunday afternoon that more than 310,000 protesters had assembled. The impressive march, organized in conjunction with more than 2,800 events in 166 countries, couldn't have come at a more demonstrative moment — just a week after national climate scientists reported searing temperatures over the summer months that broke all records since, well, records began.
Chris Hedges: The Coming Climate Revolt
We have undergone a transformation during the last few decades—what John Ralston Saul calls a corporate coup d’état in slow motion. We are no longer a capitalist democracy endowed with a functioning liberal class that once made piecemeal and incremental reform possible. Liberals in the old Democratic Party such as the senators Gaylord Nelson, Birch Bayh and George McGovern—who worked with Ralph Nader to make the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Mine Safety and Health Act, the Freedom of Information Act and the OSHA law, who made common cause with labor unions to protect workers, who stood up to the arms industry and a bloated military—no longer exist within the Democratic Party, as Nader has been lamenting for several years. They were pushed out as corporate donors began to transform the political landscape with the election of Ronald Reagan. And this is why the Democrats have not, as Bill Curry points out, enacted any major social or economic reforms since the historic environmental laws of the early ’70s.
We are governed, rather, by a species of corporate totalitarianism, or what the political philosopher Sheldon Wolin describes as “inverted totalitarianism.” By this Wolin means a system where corporate power, while it purports to pay fealty to electoral politics, the Constitution, the three branches of government and a free press, along with the iconography and language of American patriotism, has in fact seized all the important levers of power to render the citizen impotent.
The old liberal class, the safety valve that addressed grievances and injustices in times of economic or political distress, has been neutered. There are self-identified liberals, including Barack Obama, who continue to speak in the old language of liberalism but serve corporate power. This has been true since the Clinton administration. ... This audience is well aware of the Democratic Party’s squalid record on the environment, laid out in detail in a new Greenpeace report written by Charlie Cray and Peter Montague, titled “The Kingpins of Carbon and Their War on Democracy.” ... If we appeal to self-identified liberals in the establishment who have no capacity or desire to carry out the radical reforms, we will pour energy into a black hole. And this is what the corporate state seeks. It seeks to perpetuate the facade of democracy. It seeks to make us believe what is no longer real, that if we work within the system we can reform it. And it has put in place a terrifying superstructure to silence all who step outside the narrow parameters it defines as acceptable.
If the response of the corporate state is repression rather than reform then our strategy and our tactics must be different. We will have to cease our appealing to the system. We will have to view the state, including the Democratic Party, as antagonistic to genuine reform. We will have to speak in the language of ... revolution. We will have to carry out acts of civil disobedience that seek to cripple the mechanisms of corporate power. The corporate elites, blinded by their lust for profit and foolish enough to believe they can protect themselves from climate change, will not veer from our path towards ecocide unless they are forced from power.
The Climate Crisis: Which Way Out?
Rockefellers and investors pledge $50bn divestment from fossil fuels
The Rockefellers, who made their vast fortune on oil, and other philantrophic organsiations and high-wealth individuals on Monday will announce pledges to divest a total of $50bn from fossil fuel investments.
The Global Divest-Invest coalition will announce new pledges and members one day before 120 heads of state address the United Nations on how their countries will contribute to a global effort to halt a dangerous rise in temperatures.
Since the divestment movement launched three years ago, some 650 individuals and 180 institutions, including 50 new foundations, which hold over $50bn in total assets, pledged to divest from fossil fuels over five years using a variety of approaches.
One of the signatories is the $860m Rockefeller Brothers Fund. Stephen Heintz, an heir of Standard Oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, said the move to divest away from fossil fuels would be in line with his wishes.

#FloodWallStreet: Protesters Stage Mass Action to Confront Climate Profiteers
Just hours after roughly 400,000 packed the streets of New York City for the People' Climate March, a flood of people is heading to the city's financial district to target what they say is the root of the climate crisis: capitalism itself.
Demonstrators sporting blue will stage a mass sit-in Monday morning "at the heart of capital"—Wall Street—to call out and demand transformation of "an economic system based on exploiting frontline communities, workers and natural resources."
Humanity does not have the luxury of more time to take meaningful action on the climate crisis, the action, under the banner #FloodWallStreet, stresses. So it's time to heap the pressure on the corporate polluters and profiteers and usher in a paradigm shift that allows for a just and sustainable economy, they say.
"Two years ago, Superstorm Sandy literally flooded New York’s Financial District — but it didn’t phase Wall Street and their drive for the short term profits that flow from the cooking of the planet," author and activist Naomi Klein, who is speaking at the event, said in a statement issued by the group. "Which is why we’re going to flood them again."
Ahead of the sit-in, the group gathered in nearby Battery Park, where speakers from Mexico to Nepal to Mali put the spotlight on the urgency of the crisis.
Isolated arrests at Wall St. protest
NEW YORK — Hundreds of blue-clad climate activists halted traffic in New York’s Financial District on Monday, symbolically “flooding” Wall Street in a more militant sequel to Sunday’s feel-good, 400,000-person march through midtown Manhattan.
While the protest started peacefully, tensions rose abruptly around 1:20 p.m. after several officers apprehended a protester, knocking him to the ground. ...
Al Gore and Ban Ki-moon were nowhere to be found this time. But as with Sunday’s VIP-studded protest, Monday’s demonstration was a call by greens for the world to act on climate change — just before President Barack Obama addresses world leaders on the topic at Tuesday’s U.N. summit.
Mayor Bill de Blasio had taken part in Sunday’s march, and police initially appeared reluctant to make arrests Monday, even when some of the activists sat in the street. But officers popped the protesters’ 15-foot “carbon bubble” balloons and told people to get off the approximately 10-foot-high ledges on nearby buildings. Jostling broke out between protesters and police after officers took the one activist into custody.
BNSF, brought to you by Obama's buddy Warren Buffett:
BNSF official: Keystone pipeline won’t dent crude by rail
One of the top executives at the nation’s leading hauler of crude oil in trains said Friday that the proposed Keystone XL pipeline wouldn’t take away any of his company’s business.
Matt Rose, the executive chairman of BNSF Railway, told Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo that the controversial pipeline project would move primarily heavy crude oil from western Canada to refineries on the Gulf Coast.
BNSF dominates the movement of light, sweet crude from North Dakota’s Bakken region to east and west coast markets not served by pipelines. Bakken has enabled North Dakota to become the No. 2 petroleum producer behind Texas, and most of it moves by train.
“Pipelines are not going to be able to handle the entire amount of that,” Rose said.
Rose’s railroad actually does business with pipeline companies such as Enbridge and Kinder Morgan. These companies build and operate many of the loading and unloading terminals for crude oil trains. ...
Rose said his railroad moves 800,000 of the 1 million barrels a day moving by rail in the U.S., and that the completion of the pipeline would do little more than slow the growth.

Shale gas extraction issues go beyond fracking
Ask oil and gas industry advocates, environmentalists and regulators about the biggest issues facing shale gas development, and none are likely to cite the possibility of fracking fluids traveling up thousands of feet of rock into groundwater aquifers as their top concern.
There’s surface spills, transportation accidents, leaks in holding tanks and impoundments — all of these have much more potential to pollute groundwater.
Yet blaming — or exonerating — fracking for this method of groundwater pollution seems to lead reports of new shale studies, even if those studies say little about actual fracking.
“Faulty well integrity, not hydraulic fracturing deep underground, is the primary cause of drinking water contamination from shale gas extraction in parts of Pennsylvania and Texas, according to a new study by researchers from five universities,” began a press release last week from Duke University, former home of Rob Jackson, one of the scientists involved in the study.
The study, one of several for Mr. Jackson dealing with groundwater contamination from shale development, used noble gases and more traditional gas fingerprinting techniques to trace the origin and pathways of methane traveling into groundwater.
It suggested that leaks in either the steel pipes that carry gas to the surface or in the cement that envelopes those pipes allowed methane to escape into shallower depths, causing changes to well water supplies in Pennsylvania and Texas.
