Putin to Hire 500,000 Professional Soldiers

Russian Military to Recruit 500,000

Professional Soldiers by 2022

Russia’s military will have 500,000 soldiers serving on professional contracts within a decade, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Tuesday.

Half of the armed forces will be made up of professional service personnel by 2022 under plans to shift away from conscripts and more than double the number of contract soldiers from the present 220,000.

But Shoigu also acknowledged at an expanded meeting of the Defense Ministry Board that Russia’s armed forces are currently short of nearly one in five troops reports RIA Novosti.

“At present, the Russian military has 82 percent of the required manpower,” Shoigu said.

“We have prioritized full manning of airborne, special forces, naval infantry and peacekeeping units, including those involved in ensuring security during the Winter Olympics in Sochi.”

Russia is undertaking major reform of the military that includes plans to spend $650 billion by 2020 on new equipment and a transition from a conscript army to a largely professional force.

But it has struggled with a shortage of recruits as a result of draft dodging and a shrinking pool of eligible conscripts. Draft evasion and demographic decline have forced the Defense Ministry to halve the number of conscripts in five consecutive recruitment periods since autumn 2011.

The military needs to enrol about 300,000 men during each draft to keep the number of personnel at the required level of 1 million. All Russian men between the ages of 18 and 27 are obliged by law to perform one year of military service.

Shoigu said the Defense Ministry would continue the practice of large-scale snap-alert drills in 2014 to check the combat readiness of the armed forces.

The Russian military has held six surprise inspections of combat readiness and most of the 750 planned army-level exercises since the beginning of this year.

Shoigu said the exercises helped create a realistic picture of the current state of the Russian armed forces and adjust arms procurement plans for various branches of the military.

Putin Outlines 2014 Arms Procurement Plan

MOSCOW,  (RIA Novosti)  –  President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu laid out Russia’s arms procurement roadmap for 2014 on Tuesday including new strategic missiles, tanks and aircraft.

 “In 2014 more than 40 of the newest intercontinental ballistic missiles, 210 aircraft, and more than 250 armored vehicles will enter into the armed forces,” President Putin said at a meeting of the country’s top military leadership.

Russia will see the continued deployment of the Yars ICBM to the Strategic Missile Forces and the Iskander tactical ballistic missile to the ground forces next year, Shoigu said. Two new ballistic missile submarines will also become fully operational next year, he added.

President Putin outlined a roadmap last year to increase defense spending by nearly two-thirds to $97 billion by 2016. Putin said the funding was vital to modernize the military’s hardware, while calling for the armed forces’ operating costs to be kept to less than 30 percent of the defense budget.

A total of $650 billion is to be spent on military hardware in the period to 2020.

The Soviet Union had won the war at the Battles of Stalingrad (1942), Kursk and Smolensk (both 1943).  From October,1943 on it was simply a foot race to see how fast the Germans could run away from the Russians.  The only real challenge for the Russians was being able to move troops West as fast as the Germans could retreat.

Local police using NSA spy methods without search warrants

A Local Police State

Now the local police departments are spying

on you without a search warrant.

(USA TODAY)  -  The National Agency isn't the only government entity secretly collecting data from people's cellphones. Local police are increasingly scooping it up, too.

Armed with new technologies, including mobile devices that tap into cellphone data in real time, dozens of local and state police agencies are capturing information about thousands of cellphone users at a time, whether they are targets of an investigation or not, according to public records obtained by USA TODAY and Gannett newspapers and TV stations.

The records, from more than 125 police agencies in 33 states, reveal:

• About one in four law-enforcement agencies have used a tactic known as a "tower dump," which gives police data about the identity, activity and location of any phone that connects to the targeted cellphone towers over a set span of time, usually an hour or two. A typical dump covers multiple towers, and wireless providers, and can net information from thousands of phones.
• At least 25 police departments own a Stingray, a suitcase-size device that costs as much as $400,000 and acts as a fake cell tower. The system, typically installed in a vehicle so it can be moved into any neighborhood, tricks all nearby phones into connecting to it and feeding data to police. In some states, the devices are available to any local police department via state surveillance units. The federal government funds most of the purchases, via anti-terror grants.
• Thirty-six more police agencies refused to say whether they've used either tactic. Most denied public records requests, arguing that criminals or terrorists could use the information to thwart important crime-fighting and surveillance techniques.

 

Organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union and Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) say the swelling ability by even small-town police departments to easily and quickly obtain large amounts of cellphone data raises questions about the erosion of people's privacy as well as their Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure.

"I don't think that these devices should never be used, but at the same time, you should clearly be getting a warrant," said Alan Butler of EPIC.

The Stingray can grab data from cellphones in real time and without going through the wireless service providers involved. Neither tactic — tower dumps or the Stingray devices — captures the content of calls or other communication, according to police.
.

.
Typically used to hunt a single phone's location, the system intercepts data from all phones within a mile, or farther, depending on terrain and antennas.

The cell-tracking systems cost as much as $400,000, depending on when they were bought and what add-ons they have. The latest upgrade, code-named "Hailstorm," is spurring a wave of upgrade requests.

Initially developed for military and spy agencies, the Stingrays remain a guarded secret by law enforcement and the manufacturer, Harris Corp. of Melbourne, Fla. The company would not answer questions about the systems, referring reporters to police agencies. Most police aren't talking, either, partly because Harris requires buyers to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

"Any idea of having adequate oversight of the use of these devices is hampered by secrecy," says Butler, who sued the FBI for records about its Stingray systems. Under court order, the FBI released thousands of pages, though most of the text is blacked out.

"When this technology disseminates down to local government and local police, there are not the same accountability mechanisms in place. You can see incredible potential for abuses," American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Catherine Crump says.

‘Survivor’ Renewed by CBS for Seasons 29 & 30

Jeff Probst to Return as Host

• Unbelievable, "Survivor" has been renewed for seasons 29 and 30.  But even more unbelievable is I have been there every step of the way.  It is hard for me to remember what TV was like before "Survivor".

As the ultimate fan of "Survivor I ask what is there not to like?  Hot chicks in bikinis, tropical island locations, totally retarded assholes as contestants, alliances, backstabbing, rednecks, nerds, hunky macho guys and people starving on TV for my entertainment.  God Bless CBS.

Now “Survivor” will continue its run on CBS, as the broadcast net renews the veteran competition program for seasons 29 and 30. The two-season pickup will take the series through 2015, and Jeff Probst will return as host and exec producer.

“‘Survivor’ set the standard for unscripted dramas,” said exec producer Mark Burnett. “We’ve never gone away from the core values of the game, but we’ve kept it fresh every season. ‘Survivor’ in its essence has been a social experiment from day one. It’s as valid today with young people who weren’t old enough to remember what TV was when the show started.” reports Variety.

“Survivor” is averaging 11.3 million viewers on Wednesday night with its recent theme “Blood Vs. Water.” It ranks as the second highest-rated reality series on broadcast this season in adults 18-49, following “The Voice.”

While the show has had a remarkably long history on CBS, Burnett was not anticipating such a tenure during the early years of the program.

“I remember Leslie Moonves saying to me at TCAs on an escalator before season three started, ‘You’ll be making season 23,’” Burnett recalled, quipping that he barely believed the CBS chief.

The program, which has logged over 400 episodes thus far on CBS, has established itself not only as a part of  pop culture discourse with its now iconic catch phrases, but also as the blueprint for reality TV formats that were conceived after its debut.

Locations for the pair of forthcoming seasons have yet to be determined, and casting for season 29 is getting underway. Probst noted that themes for a season — like “Blood Vs. Water” — are determined after casting, once the creatives establish what kind of personalities are on the show.

Both Burnett and Probst agreed that Palau was one of the most beautiful places where “Survivor” has lensed, and the duo also praised the Philippines for its hospitality to cast members and crew.

“Africa was also amazing,” Probst said of season three. “We were living in tents in the middle of Kenya. Mark’s tent was the same size as mine, and right next to mine. Mine was next to the newest guy on the crew. There was no hierarchy.”

The days of tent life have mostly ended for “Survivor,” as the crew now shoots back-to-back seasons for CBS that translate to 78 days of shooting over a 95 day period.

“Going to a location that would require us to live in tents just isn’t feasible. That’s not good for a crew,” Probst explained. “We have to consider our crew and make sure they have a roof, toilet and shower, bare minimum.”

The key to “Survivor’s” success, according to Probst, isn’t just the compelling format that can be mined for thematic twists. Audience loyalty is also a leading factor in the show’s notable run.

“This is a show with family viewing — one that mom and dad want to watch with their kids,” said Probst. “The byproduct is you have kids who watch with their parents and become the next generation of viewers who take the show for another round. Without our audience sticking with us, we wouldn’t still be on air.”

South Carolina: First in the Nation to Nullify Obamacare

The Nullification crisis of 1832.

The Nullification of Obamacare

In 1832 America was rocked to near Civil War when South Carolina nullified Federal taxes.

Now faced with a dictatorial overreach of Federal power, Republican controlled South Carolina is looking to do a modern form of nullification of Socialist Obamacare.

Judge Andrew Napolitano - South Carolina Eliminates Obamacare 

South Carolina is on the verge of passing a bill that would end ObamaCare in the state. But is it legal for South Carolina not to follow a federal law? Judge Napolitano discussed the case on America’s News Headquarters.

The judge explained that South Carolina is planning to “instruct employees of the state of South Carolina not to participate in facilitating the law and to prohibit the expenditure of public funds on the law.” In layman’s terms, the judge said that the state is essentially saying that if President Obama wants the Affordable Care Act in South Carolina, the feds will have to pay for it and establish it.

Napolitano said that if enough states follow suit, “it will gut ObamaCare because the federal government does not have the resources or the wherewithal […] to go into each of the individual states.”

Patriot Act Author - Senate & House are Cheerleaders for the NSA

House and Senate Intelligence committees

have become “cheerleaders” for the NSA.

Are Congressmen cheerleaders for the Constitution?  No.  But they love to cheer on the unconstitutional 1984 Police Surveillance State.

Rep. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R - Wisconsin) says the House and Senate Intelligence committees have become “cheerleaders” for the National Security Agency.

“Instead of putting the brakes on overreaches, they’ve been stepping on the gas,” he said of the committees, which are led by Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).

In an interview with The Hill, Sensenbrenner — who has offered legislation to rein in the NSA — called rival legislation “a joke,” reports The Hill.

He said Director of National Intelligence James Clapper should be prosecuted for “lying” to Congress on the nation’s surveillance programs.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodies?
Going back in history the question has always been, "Quis custodiet ipsos custodies?"
or "Who watches the watchmen?"
.,.
GOP Congressman James Sensenbrenner, author of the Patriot Act, was the Watchman in
Congress.  Under his watch he claims there was no illegal police state spying going on. 
Nothing to see here.  Move along please.
.
 Now Sensenbrenner claims to have had an "epiphany" moment and suddenly sees the
massive unconstitutional spying all around him?  Or is he just another hack doing the political
dance for the voters?  Even though he was Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, with a straight
face he claims no illegal spying going on when he was in charge.  Right.  Anyone who knows
how to read realizes that is simply not true.

Sensenbrenner, the original author of the Patriot Act, wants to limit the NSA’s surveillance powers in the wake of leaks by former CIA contractor Edward Snowden.

“There is no limit — apparently, according to the NSA — on what they can collect. And that has got to be stopped,” he said.

The 18-term lawmaker claims Congress fell down on the job of overseeing the NSA.

He said the failure in oversight occurred after Congress reauthorized the Patriot Act in 2006, just as he was stepping down as Judiciary Committee chairman.

The NSA then won secret approval from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to use a provision of the Patriot Act to collect records on all U.S. phone calls.

GOP Congressman James Sensenbrenner
was the Watchman and at the very
least he was asleep at his post.

The court authorized the sweeping data collection even though the provision, Section 215, only allows the NSA to collect records that are “relevant” to terrorism.

“I don’t think the oversight was vigorously done by the Judiciary Committee,” Sensenbrenner said.

Sensenbrenner, along with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), has introduced the USA Freedom Act to end the bulk collection of phone records, limit the NSA’s power and tighten oversight.

But Rogers and Feinstein are fighting to protect the NSA’s authority, especially its sweeping phone record collection program. Feinstein has introduced a bill that would make certain reforms to promote transparency but would endorse the phone data collection.

“The Feinstein bill is a joke,” Sensenbrenner said.

He said that her view is essentially “if you like your NSA, you can keep it.”

Telling the Truth is a Criminal Act 

Showing his true colors on the Bill of Rights, Sensenbrenner rips into Snowden during the interview.

Although the Snowden leaks revealed the NSA’s expansive surveillance programs and prompted the movement to limit its power, Sensenbrenner said the former NSA contractor is no hero and should face charges.

“He’s a criminal,” Sensenbrenner said. “I believe that the Russians, in showing good faith, ought to return him to face the music.”  Note, that when Snowden was hiding in Hong Kong (not Russia) Sensenbrenner was no where to be seen with any support for the whistleblower.  That says it all.  He is full of shit.

But the Republican lawmaker acknowledged that the Snowden leaks are the only reason he knows about the NSA’s data collection program.

“What he brought to light showed that the NSA was doing some (yeah, right, SOME) things that were far beyond what the intent of the law should have been and basically gave Leahy and I insight on how to improve the Patriot Act to try to plug this up,” he said.

All together now.  Give us a . . .

In defense of John Boehner

The GOP Likes to Eat Their Young

• The Marxists are presenting a united front to the voters. 
• Meanwhile loud mouthed right-wingers get off on butchering their own allies in full view of the public.
• A shift of less than 20 votes in the House will restore a Marxist one-party dictatorship in the US.

By Gary;

Start here Conservatives  -  John Boehner is not the enemy.  The Marxist Bastard in the White House is our enemy.

No one has pissed all over John Boehner, Paul Ryan and most of the Republicans in Congress more than I have.  But with mid-term elections only 11 months away, it is way past time for the drooling right-wing crazies to shut the Hell up and stop disemboweling their own allies.

Sure the GOP leadership cut a deal with the Democrats on the budget.  So what!  Compromise is what you do in any Republic anywhere in the world when different parties control different legislative chambers.

What do these loud mouths want?  To do another useless government shut down and give the Marxist Democrats a gift of positive PR?

Extreme Danger  -  Our Republic is on the edge of a knife and Conservatives are living a fantasy world thinking the voters give a crap about our message of small government, self reliance and private property rights.  There are too many sucking at the Public Teat.

The elections in Venezuela this last week show our danger.  With a near total economic collapse and 50% inflation the message of Karl Marx is still so powerful that the Communists won the elections against a non-Marxist alliance of parties.

The GOP blew the Senate elections in 2010 and 2012.  It is very possible the Democrats might retain control yet again.  Plus we are less than 20 votes away from Democrats regaining control of the House.

The right-wing needs to calm down and focus their fire on the real enemy of freedom - Marxism.

Politics is like Boxing
In boxing and politics you need to know the right time to either dodge, defend or attack.
.
It was just a few months ago that the GOP was having the living crap beaten out of them when the useless government shutdown issue was handed to the Marxists on a silver platter.  Today the Marxists are getting pummeled on Obamacare and their numbers are in collapse.  This can change overnight.  Republicans need to present a united front and keep the story on Obamacare for the next 11 months.

Domino's Pizza wants to import workers to keep wages low

21% UK Youth Unemployment Rate

With massive British unemployment, Dominos wants to import foreigners instead of raising wages to attract workers.

Businesses are the same the world over.  Instead of paying workers market wages, they pressure the politicians to grant them "special exemptions" to import the citizens of foreign nations in order to drive down wages. 

In addition, taxpayers effectively subsidize these low wage workers with public welfare benefits.

Domino's Pizza, the Britain's biggest pizza delivery firm, should pay better wages if it is struggling to fill job vacancies rather than seeking a relaxation of immigration rules, said a British government minister.

The chief executive of Domino's British franchise, Lance Batchelor, told the London Evening Standard newspaper this week that his firm was struggling to find workers after a tightening of immigration rules.

Batchelor had appealed to the government to allow his firm to bring in unskilled workers from outside the EU, saying Domino's could hire 1,000 workers immediately.

"He should perhaps pay his staff a little more and then he might find it easier to recruit them ... He runs a profitable business, he should pay what the market demands," said Mark Harper, the government minister in charge of immigration.

"I don't think that we should import relatively unskilled labor from outside the European Union just so that he (Batchelor) can keep his wages low," Harper told a parliamentary committee on Tuesday.

Domino's is a franchise of U.S. group Domino's Pizza Inc, operating around 800 stores in Britain and Ireland, employing more than 23,000 staff. It aims to open 50 new branches per year.

The group reported pretax profit of 46.7 million pounds in 2012, up 10.8 percent.

A company spokesman said that due to the company's franchise structure, he was not able to provide data on rates of pay. He declined to comment further.

Syrian Islamists seize Obama-backed rebel bases

Shock!

Obama discovers the "crazy" Islamists are taking

over from "moderate" Islamists.

(Reuters News)  -  Syrian rebels from an Islamist alliance formed last month have occupied bases and warehouses belonging to a Western-backed rebel group on the Turkish border, rebels and activists said on Saturday.

Fighters from the Islamic Front, a union of six major rebel groups, took control of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) bases at the Bab al-Hawa crossing on the northwestern border with Turkey late on Friday night, the opposition sources said.

Louay Meqdad, an FSA spokesman, said the Islamic Front fighters had entered the bases after saying they wanted to help to secure them. They then asked officers and employees to leave and replaced an FSA flag with one of their own, he said.

"We believe that those brigades are our brothers, that they know that we are not the enemy," Meqdad said.

Infighting among Syria's rebel groups has undermined their fight against President Bashar al-Assad in the 2-1/2-year-old civil war and made Western governments hesitant to back them.

The rise of hardline Islamist groups among the rebels, including some linked to al Qaeda, has also unsettled powers such as the United States, who fear that if the militants came to power, they would eventually turn their weapons on Western targets.

On Tuesday the Islamic Front said it had withdrawn from the military command of the FSA, notionally charged with coordinating the war, and criticized its leadership.

While the Islamic Front does not include either of Syria's two al Qaeda-affiliated units - the Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) - it does include radical Islamists who have coordinated with them.

 

And the Beheadings Begin

(Reuters) – Armed with machine guns, black-clad al Qaeda fighters drove their pick-ups calmly into the northern Syrian town and took over its imposing agriculture ministry building.

They beheaded a sniper from a rival rebel unit, displayed his head in the main square and put roadblocks on major routes.

Not a shot was fired in the takeover, in which informants, including a preacher from a local mosque, played key roles.

The scene in Termanin, recounted by an activist who witnessed it last week, is being repeated in towns along the border with Turkey and at road junctions further inside Syria that have fallen out of President Bashar al-Assad’s control.

Whether through weakness or a desire to focus on Assad, rebel units are making way for the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), an al Qaeda affiliate led by foreigners hardened by guerrilla warfare in Iraq, Chechnya and Libya.

Lessons From Libya

Asked about the group's goals, an ISIL commander in the town of Armanaz in northern Syria who had fought in Libya said it is fighting for "the downfall of the tyrant Bashar" but also seeking to impose Islamic law.

Learning lessons from the 2011 war in Libya, he said ISIL was more determined to hold on to territory under its control.

"Our mistake as mujahideen is that we were preoccupied with fighting Gaddafi and did not pay enough attention to how to hold on territory," said the commander, who goes by the nickname al-Jazaeri, or the Algerian.

Google wants to put microchips in your skull

Obey Your Masters

Microchips implanted in your skull by Google . . . shit,

what could possibly go wrong with that?

What the Fuck!  -  The madness just does not end.  Now Google wants to put microphones in your bedroom and microchips in your skull.

"I don’t have a microchip in my head – yet," says the man charged with transforming Google’s relations with the technology giant’s human users.

But Scott Huffman does envisage a world in which Google microphones, embedded in the ceiling, listen to our conversations and interject verbal answers to whatever inquiry is posed.

Huffman, Google's engineering director, leads a team tasked with making conversations with the search engine more reflective of the complex interactions people enjoy with each other reports the UK Independent.

A microphone hanging from the ceiling, responding to verbal queries, would remove the need to whip out a phone to remind yourself what time tomorrow’s flight leaves. It could also make sure you don’t miss the flight altogether.

 

When challenged on the likelihood of such a system being vulnerable to NSA wiretapping, Huffman glibly responded that people should just trust Google (a company that allowed the NSA to mine data from its cloud network “at will”) to safeguard their information.

 

Huffman touted the features of such a system, suggesting people could ask Google to screen football highlights on their television via the microphones, or arrange travel plans.

 

“I could ask my Google ‘assistant’ where we should have lunch, that serves French food and isn’t too expensive? Google will go ‘Ok, we’ll go to that place’ and when I get in my car it should already be navigating to that restaurant. We’re really excited by the idea of multiple devices being able to talk to each other,” said Huffman.

“Google believes it can ultimately fulfil people’s data needs by sending results directly to microchips implanted into its user’s brains,” states the report, a concept which Huffman welcomes reports Infowars News.

 

Although the idea of embedding a microchip inside the brain is a horror for some, there is a whole movement of people who call themselves transhumanists that will openly embrace such a scenario. Those who refuse to adopt the technology will eventually be seen as luddites and technophobes.

 

If Google’s transhumanist utopia is to be achieved, the microchip inside the brain must eventually become as ubiquitous as the cellphone. This will all be promoted in the name of convenience and Google will assure us that strong safeguards are in place to protect privacy (while they are work hand in hand with the NSA to desecrate privacy).

From so-called “smart” street lights that use microphones to record conversations, analyze voices and track people, to Xbox and cellphone devices that do likewise, our entire environment is being turned into what former CIA director David Petraeus hailed as a boon for “clandestine statecraft.”

 

According to whistleblowers like William Binney , the NSA is already recording our conversations, via email, phone and VOIP, and analyzing them in real time. Once our homes and our streets are festooned with microphones, the last refuge of privacy will be completely eviscerated.

Six year old suspended for 'sexual harassment'

News Flash  -  Teachers are Idiots

6-year-old boy suspended for “Sexual Harassment”
after kissing girl on the cheek

A six year old boy is suspended from school in Canon City, Colorado for kissing a classmate on the cheek.

His mother says it's a crush and the two children like each other. But the school is calling it something else; sexual harassment.

First grader, Hunter Yelton, told us he loves science and phys-ed. Also...that he has a crush on a girl at school, who likes him back reports KRDO News.

It may sound innocent enough...but at six years old Hunter now has 'sexual harassment' on his school record.

"It was during class yeah. We were doing reading group and I leaned over and kissed her on the hand. That's what happened," said Hunter Yelton.

Six year old Hunter was at home on Monday instead of at school.

The superintendent at School District RE-1, says any school record remains within the district. And Hunters’ actions fit the school policy description of 'sexual harassment'.

"How can you do this? How can you say this about my child? Remove sexual harassment, remove it from his record. I'm going to stand up and fight for him because that's not the case, that's not what happened at all,” said Saunders.”

The school district also says Hunters' parents may believe that kissing the girl at school is overall acceptable- but that's where the school disagrees.  They're hoping the suspension changes hunter's behavior.
