Weeks after the first major NSA revelations so many questions remain, but some facts are clear. The world is a surveillance state. Now their corporate allies in crime publicly lash out to distance themselves from the scandal. The conversation is in transition and the focus is shifting from the people, to the elites.

Edward Snowden steps back into the international dialog, and commits to going on record. We’ll share the details.

Plus a look at the recent tragic shootings, our thoughts on the failed GMO labeling initiative, your feedback, and much much more.

Shootings

Unlike prior terrorist attempts on the country’s air travel, last
Friday’s attack at LAX by 23-year-old Paul Anthony Ciancia seemed
squarely aimed at the security agency itself. Since the shooting,
authorities have said that the gunman had walked through the
airport terminal asking bystanders if they “were TSA,” and
walking off if the answer was no. In Ciancia’s bag was also a
hand-written note critical of the government, and stating he
“wanted to kill TSA and pigs.”

J. David Cox Sr., president of the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 45,000 Transportation Security Administration agents, said that the “sad truth is that our TSA officers are subject to daily verbal assaults and far too frequent physical attacks while performing their security duties.”

“At this time, we feel a larger and more consistent armed presence in screening areas would be a positive step in improving security for both TSOs and the flying public,” Cox said in a statement. “The development of a new class of TSA officers with law enforcement status would be a logical approach to accomplishing this goal.”

Richard Shoop’s body was found at 3:20 a.m. Tuesday in an obscure part of Westfield Garden State Plaza mall, hours after he fired at least six bullets without striking anyone in the massive shopping center.

He acted alone, authorities say.

Currently, the agency’s 45,000 screeners are not considered law
enforcement officers. The TSA’s union, the American Federation of
Government Employees, says that a new category of armed
agents would bolster security throughout the country’s airports.

NSA is CRAZY

America’s top intelligence official acknowledged Tuesday that President Obama and other senior White House officials were well aware of U.S. surveillance activities targeting leaders of friendly foreign nations

Mr. Snowden made his appeal in a letter that was carried to Berlin by Hans-Christian Ströbele, a veteran member of the Green Party in the German Parliament. Mr. Ströbele said he and two journalists for German news outlets met with Mr. Snowden and a person described as his assistant — probably his British aide, Sarah Harrison — at an undisclosed location in or near Moscow on Thursday for almost three hours.

In the letter Snowden wrote: Yet “my government continues to treat dissent as defection, and seeks to criminalize political speech with felony charges that provide no defense,” Mr. Snowden wrote. “However, speaking the truth is not a crime. I am confident that with the support of the international community, the government of the United States will abandon this harmful behavior.”

We do not know exactly how the NSA and GCHQ intercept the data, other than it happens on British territory. But we do know they are intercepting it from inside the Yahoo and Google private clouds, because some of what NSA and GCHQ collect is found nowhere else.

We showed some of the NSA’s briefing slides to private sector experts with detailed knowledge of the internal corporate networks of each company. In separate conversations, they agreed that the slides included samples of data structures and formats that never travel unencrypted on the public Internet.

Last week The Washington Post reported that the National Security Agency is tapping into Google and Yahoo internal networks by intercepting communications from the private links between their data centers. The NSA and the office of Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper criticized the story.

Today The Post answers some of the questions they raised in an explanatory story and offers additional evidence drawn from documents provided by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The documents do not tell the whole story, because our report depended in part on interviews with public and private sector sources. But these slides demonstrate that the NSA, working with the British GCHQ, intercepted information it could only have found inside the Google and Yahoo “clouds,” or private networks.

“It’s really outrageous that the National Security Agency was looking between the Google data centers, if that’s true,” he told The Wall Street Journal’s Deborah Kan.

Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google, has attacked the US government for apparently breaking into the connections that link the company’s data centres around the world as “outrageous” and described other surveillance practices as “possibly illegal”.

Speaking at an event in Hong Kong, Schmidt stepped up the company’s response to revelations in the Washington Post that the National Security Agency, working with its British counterpart, GCHQ, had broken into fibre optic cables that carry the transfer of data around the world for Google and Yahoo.

“It’s really outrageous that the National Security Agency was looking between the Google data centers, if that’s true,” Schmidt told the Wall Street Journal.

“The steps that the organization was willing to do without good judgment to pursue its mission and potentially violate people’s privacy, it’s not OK.”

Radack, an attorney who has met with and been in communication with Snowden, said “a handful” of people in the intelligence community have come forward since this summer when several major international newspapers began writing about the NSA’s classified foreign and domestic surveillance programs – stories based on thousands of secret NSA documents allegedly stolen by Snowden, a former NSA contractor.

Oh no… GMO?

Early polling showed voters favored the measure. But a barrage of TV and radio spots financed by a food industry group and five biotechnology companies has helped narrow the gap.

The measure was failing 45 percent to 55 percent as the first votes were being counted Tuesday night.

Five corporations together contributed more than $14 million to fight the measure. Monsanto, a biotechnology company that creates genetically modified seeds among many other things, contributed $5.4 million. Dupont, a multinational science company operating in a number of markets including GMO seeds, contributed $3.9 million. Dozens of large food companies contributed through the D.C.-based Grocery Manufacturers Association, including: PepsiCo, which contributed $2.4 million, and Nestle and Coca-Cola, each of which contributed $1.5 million. Fewer than 50 individuals and businesses contributed money in opposition to I–522.

Hands of Chase’ Coke

1. High-fructose corn syrup is not healthy.** In 2004, researchers at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center of Louisiana State University published their findings that revealed that high-fructose corn syrup is a major player in America’s obesity epidemic.

2. Sugar is not all the same. **Defenders of high-fructose corn syrup will argue that cane sugar and high-fructose corn syrup are similar in structure and ergo, are not very different. But from a biochemical standpoint, the two ingredients are not identical and as such, they are not processed by the body in the same way.

3. High-fructose corn syrup contains contaminants that are not regulated. High-fructose corn syrup is notorious for containing toxic levels of mercury and other questionable chemical compounds that are not measured or regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

4. It will hinder the taste that “Mexicoke” is famous for. **Those who have tasted both variations of the beverage insist that not only is Mexican Coca-Cola sweeter, but the high-fructose corn syrup variation is bitterer, more sour and boasts a synthetic taste.

Compliance is the buzzword of the season for Bitcoin, but on further reflection we have to ask – could regulation compliance weaken Bitcoin?

Plus the story of Thailand banning Bitcoin might be exaggerated, how deflation can help the middle class, and the Kickstarter upset of the week!

  • Xanny comments on Bitcoin Must Comply

  • \”Deflation is a death spiral\” is a statist mantra. The US economy experienced slow but steady deflation during the 19th century – during rapid growth, yet they will never teach you that in school. A little deflation rewards savers and doesn\’t hurt anyone. Inflation rewards central banksters.

Did Thailand really ban Bitcoin?

A Thai Bitcoin exchange has suspended operations after failing to win a license from the country\’s central bank. However, the outfit\’s conclusion — that Bitcoin is illegal in Thailand — smells funny.

At the conclusion of the meeting senior members of the Foreign Exchange Administration and Policy Department advised that due to lack of existing applicable laws, capital controls and the fact that Bitcoin straddles multiple financial facets the following Bitcoin activities are illegal in Thailand:

  • Buying Bitcoins
  • Selling Bitcoins
  • Buying any goods or services in exchange for Bitcoins
  • Selling any goods or services for Bitcoins
  • Sending Bitcoins to anyone located outside of Thailand
  • Receiving Bitcoins from anyone located outside of Thailand

Based on such a broad and encompassing advisement, Bitcoin Co. Ltd. therefore has no choice but to suspend operations until such as time that the laws in Thailand are updated to account for the existance of Bitcoin.

Kickstarter pulls “Bitcoin: The Movie”

Andrew Wong, the entrepreneur behind the movie, launched the crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter on July 16, and had scheduled the project to run until August 15, with a crowdfunding goal of $100,000. However, late last week, the crowdfunding site unexpectedly suspended the project. When Kickstarter pulled the plug, the movie had $15,896 pledged by 154 backers.

The Berlin district where virtual currency is as easy as cash

BERLIN — A sign above the counter of a popular bar in Berlin\’s hip Kreuzberg district warns customers of owner Joerg Platzer\’s somewhat peculiar payment preferences: \”I believe in honest money — gold, silver and Bitcoin.\”

Platzer\’s Room77 is among a cluster of more than two dozen local businesses to accept the virtual currency for everyday payments. Stickers with Bitcoin symbols on restaurant doors and shop windows guide the way.

Bitcoin activists propose hard fork to Bitcoin to keep it anonymous and regulation-free

Two anonymous activists have proposed an alternative to Bitcoin, which would fork the protocol to retain more anonymity for users. Labelled \”Bitcoin 2″, the currency would modify the existing bitcoin code to maintain what they call \”the original long-term vision\”, stripping out elements of the protocol that they feel are damaging, and building in support for anonymity protocol Zerocoin.

Bitcoin Pick

Currency — the bills and coins you carry in your wallet and in your bank account — is founded on marketing, on the belief that banks and governments are trustworthy. Now, Paul Kemp-Robertson walks us through a new generation of currency, supported by that same marketing … but on behalf of a private brand. From Nike Sweat Points to bottles of Tide (which are finding an unexpected use in illegal markets), meet the non-bank future of currencies.
