*SNEAKING TOWARD WAR
* ** *Dennis Kucinich proposes the "Top 10 Unproven Claims for War Against Syria <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dennis-j-kucinich/syria-war-questions_b_3870763.html>," showing that the "evidence," as the Obama regime calls it, for attacking Syria, isn't there. * *Even the /NY Times/ is cracking, showing a split in the ruling Forces of Greed <http://luvnews.info/FOG.htm>, as they published a story and video of Syrian rebels brutally executing Syrian soldiers, straying from the US mainstream media line that rebels are wholesome humanitarians deserving of support. Other media abroad cite the ruthlessness of the terrorists unleashed on the people of Syria who've been caught murdering those who disagree with their ethnic or religious beliefs, including Kurds, Christians and Shiahs. Robert Fisk of /the Independent/ says <http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2013/09/05-4> "If Barack Obama decides to attack the Syrian regime, he has ensured -- for the very first time in history -- that the United States will be on the same side as al-Qa'ida." * *Because facts are starting to get out, and public pressure is on them, Congress is moving away from supporting a war <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/05/syria-vote_n_3873801.html> on the Syrian people. The numbers change by the hour, but at this writing, there are 44 expected "yes" votes, 217 expected "no" votes, and 172 undecided. * *The Green Shadow Cabinet, representing the will of the American people to avoid another war, asks that people take action <http://www.greenshadowcabinet.us/statements/alert-pledge-peace-congress>.* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM THE NSA * ** *"The National Security Agency is winning its long-running secret war on encryption, using supercomputers, technical trickery, court orders and behind-the-scenes persuasion to undermine the major tools protecting the privacy of everyday communications in the Internet age, according to newly disclosed documents," begins a report by /Pro Publica/ <http://www.propublica.org/article/the-nsas-secret-campaign-to-crack-undermine-internet-encryption> this morning. Supporting documents come from Edward Snowden, who shows how spooks get around encryption to see what you are doing. * *Glenn Greenwald's latest elaborates. <http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/05/nsa-gchq-encryption-codes-security>**If you think you are protected by an encryption program, you are probably fooling yourself. The more ethical publishers have quit the business after being asked to give their secrets to the NSA. Those still selling encryption software probably have been compromised. * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *TO THE BARRICADES! * ** *"Police in 11 cities across the United States arrested at least 100 people protesting outside Walmart stores Thursday, organizers said. The demonstrators were calling for higher wages and the reinstatement of workers fired after participating in a June strike against the company," begins an /al Jazeera/ piece <http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2013/9/5/walmart-protestersarrestedacrossthenation.html> this morning.* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Thank you to all who are feverishly attempting to influence their Member of Congress to oppose war on the people of Syria --Jack Balkwill ** **** ** ** *How to Stop Obama's Military Aggression Against Syria <http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2013/09/05/how-to-stop-obamas-military-aggression-against-syria-paul-craig-roberts/> * *Paul Craig Roberts* *Many are asking what can be done to stop the pending US attack on Syria.* *Two things can be done.* *One is for the US Congress to realize that it does not save America's face for Congress **to endorse a policy that has been rejected by the rest of the world, including Washington's closest ally, Great Britain. For Congress to endorse what the UN Secretary General and the President of Russia have made unequivocally clear would be a war crime under international law harms, not rescues, America's reputation. Doing the wrong thing to save face does not succeed.* *In the event that Congress fails to understand the real stakes and votes to support a criminal action, the second thing that can be done to stop the attack is for most other countries in the world--China, India, Japan, Brazil, Australia, Canada, Iran, South Africa, the European and South American countries--to add their clear unequivocal statements to those of the UN General Secretary and President Putin that an American attack on Syria that is not authorized by the UN Security Council is a war crime. * *Expression by the governments of the world of this truthful statement would make it clear to Washington that it is isolated from the world community. * *For Obama to proceed in an act of aggression in the face of united opposition would destroy all influence of the US government and make it impossible for any officials of the Obama regime to travel abroad or to conduct business with other governments. What government would conduct business with a war criminal government? It is up to the governments of the world to make it clear to Washington that the US government is not above the law and will be held accountable.* ** http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2013/09/05/how-to-stop-obamas-military-aggression-against-syria-paul-craig-roberts/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *If you wish to be removed from this list, please let us know* ** *To join the Liberty Underground news service go here: http://luvnews.info/Join.htm* ** *You may also join our talk group athttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/libertyundergroundtalk/ <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/libertyundergroundtalk/>if you would like to participate * **or join our Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/461619557192964/ * email: libert...@hotmail.com* ** *Tell your friends about /LUV News/ because some people just don't get it* [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:la...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
