SECRET REPORT ON TSA PATS-SCANNERS

Congressman: Secret Report On TSA Pat Downs, Body Scanner Failures Will Knock Your Socks Off-Off the charts failure rate sort of like the record of the Marx Brothers
Steve Watson Infowars.com October 25, 2011

The chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, which oversees the TSA, has asserted that the release of a classified report on TSA security failures will renew calls for the replacement of the agency with private airport security personnel.The failure rate (for body scanning equipment) is classified but it would absolutely knock your socks off, Florida Republican, Rep. John L. Mica told reporters during a briefing Monday.Mica also asserted that recorded instances of pat downs failing to detect contraband are off the charts. This information is also currently still classified, but is due to be released within weeks as part of an upcoming committee report on the TSA’s first decade.Mica suggested that the TSA’s performance report would read sort of like the record of the Marx Brothers.The TSA has withheld results of its official security tests, despite repeated requests to release the information under the Freedom of Information Act.The Department of Homeland Security has classified the results of the most recent random, covert red team tests, where undercover agents try to see what they can get past airport security. The reason they have done so, according to MIca, is because the results have been so shockingly and consistently bad for the past nine years.

Mica further slammed the TSA Monday, ripping into the agency’s latest experimental security chat down procedure.The chairman referred to the pilot program of behaviour detection being tested at Boston Logan airport as an idiotic mess.Describing the program as a poor man’s version of Israeli interrogation security techniques, Mica noted that that the pilot is merely an extension of an already existing program that the Government Accountability Office concluded had little scientific credibility and had cost a quarter billion in hiring additional TSA officers.This is no joke, Mica told reporters at the briefing, adding that he had personally visited Logan airport and witnessed first hand the failures of the program.I put my ear up and listened to some idiotic questions, Mica said of the chat down procedure, also noting that TSA officers expressed a lack of understanding of the program they had supposedly been trained to engage in.I talked to them about their training, which was minimal,Mica said, adding It’s almost idiotic… It’s still not a risk-based system. It’s not a thinking system.The program is set to be beta tested in Detroit next, before being rolled out nationwide.Mica repeatedly argued that the TSA’s role at airports could be undertaken in a more efficient and less costly manner by private companies, albeit ultimately still under the supervision of the federal government.Back in March, the Congressman charged that the TSA intentionally fixed data to ensure that federal workers were employed to screen airport passengers, rather than private contractors.TSA cooked the books to try to eliminate the federal-private screening program, said Mica at the time.The Congressman was referring to revelations from federal auditors that cost differentials between federal employees and private contractors were overstated by the TSA.Though the agency contends it was an error, The TSA made it appear that it was more cost effective for airports to use federal government workers for security by increasing the costs for private-contractor screeners relative to federal screeners, government auditors wrote.

The 2001 Aviation Transportation Security Act, which created the TSA, contained an option written in by Congress allowing airports to choose between using TSA workers and private screeners. It is known as the Security Partnership Program (SPP).
Currently, sixteen airports throughout the country use private contractors under the SPP, however, the TSA has since actively prevented other airports from joining the program, as more and more express an interest in dropping the federal workforce in wake of an epidemic of TSA scandals and failures.Mica, who helped create the TSA after 9/11, has repeatedly stated that he believes the agency is now completely out of control and believes it should be radically reformed.

Beck: EAS Test Allows Feds to Seize Control of Communications-For the first time, broadcasters will have no choice on whether to partake in the nationwide alert Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Tuesday, October 25, 2011

Radio host Glenn Beck has spoken of his fear that the upcoming Emergency Alert System test being conducted by Homeland Security and FEMA on November 9 gives the government the pretext to seize control of communications in America, because for the first time broadcasters will have no choice on whether to partake.Beck explained that in every previous instance where the EAS system was tested, broadcasters were in control of whether or not to flip the switch, although they did face losing their broadcast license if they failed to partake. However, for the very first time, the federal government will have complete control over the broadcast frequency and will be able to override all radio and television stations.Next month’s test also marks the first time that the alert has been conducted nationwide.The nationwide test may last up to three and a half minutes. The public will hear a message indicating that This is a test. The audio message will be the same for radio, television and cable, states a FEMA press release.Beck warned that the first of its kind test gave the government the pretext to take over all civilian communication outlets under the guise of a national emergency.If the state wants to take control…they can just take it and there is nothing I can do about it, Beck stated, adding that the process seizes control of the broadcast frequency.

Beck questioned the timing of the test, asking why it was being conducted in the middle of a work day at 2pm and not at midnight on a Saturday.Why are we testing this thing at 2pm on a Wednesday when we don’t even know if this damn thing will work – who does that? asked Beck, drawing attention to the fact that FEMA has indicated it isn’t even sure whether television broadcasts will display a message or not during the test.Who takes the nation’s communications and shuts it down in the middle of a work day on a Wednesday when the whole world is in revolution? That doesn’t help calm things, Mr. President,said Beck.The fact that the government has also chosen a date which is the reverse of 9/11 (the 9th of November being 11/9), is also unlikely to reduce anxiety surrounding the test.

Report: Anarchists Collecting Intelligence for Terrorists-Yehuda Hendler of the Esh Kodesh community says anarchists are gathering intelligence for terrorists in Yesha. By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 10/25/2011, 11:12 PM

Foreign and Israeli anarchists are helping terrorists to gather intelligence, Yehudah Hendler of Esh Kodesh said in an interview with Arutz Sheva.The anarchists, he said, help Arabs from Palestinian Authority enclaves to force their way into Jewish towns, ostensibly to harvest olives – an activity that has served as cover for terrorism on past occasions, he said.The murderers of five members of the Fogel family used the olive harvest as an excuse to gather information on the victims’ town and to plan their attack, Hendel noted.Experience shows that they come together with the terrorists to gather intelligence before the attack. Today we know that the two killers of the Fogel family arrived during the olive harvest to gather information on penetration into the community, Hendler said.Now these people are bringing terrorists to more towns in order to help them carry out attacks, Hendel declared. Their claims that they came to harvest olives are lies, they harvested from old and sick trees and barely had a single bucket of olives after three hours.

Last Friday, hundreds of Palestinians came to our region to harvest in our communities - accompanied by the anarchists, Hendler explained. This was done without necessary military coordination, and any uncoordinated incursion could be prove to be life-threatening.Hendler said he hoped the IDF would take the necessary steps to avoid walkabouts by Anarchists and potential terrorists in Jewish communities.We went down to where they were and asked them to leave, and they did leave. But we hope that the army will be more decisive in the future. We feel that the army does not react strongly enough to these provocations and need to actively block entry to our community.Several anarchist groups, such as ISM and its affiliates, have allied themselves with the Palestinian cause.Many endorse armed struggle [terrorism -ed.] against Israel, while at once claiming to be rights activists or opposed to violence.Their activities frequently include entering closed military zones, harrassing Jewish residents and soliders in Judea and Samaria, setting fire to Jewish orchards and vinyards, interfering with counter-terrorism operations, knowingly distributing food and money to known terrorists, and vandalizing IDF materials and vehicles.

German parliament to vote on euro measures ahead of summit 25.10.11 @ 09:29 By Valentina Pop

Brussels - The German parliament will on Wednesday (26 October) vote on the government's negotiating mandate for the eurozone bail-out fund, just hours before Chancellor Angela Merkel is to attend yet another EU crisis summit in the European capital.It is the first time the Bundestag will vote on the content of a euro-rescue package before the deal is actually sealed among EU leaders. The new powers follow a key ruling by the German constitutional court last month.The need for a negotiating mandate approved by the Bundestag was one of the reasons Merkel insisted for another first in EU history: a two-part summit on Sunday and Wednesday.Initially, the vote was supposed to be held just in the 41-member budget committee, but Merkel's own Christian Democrats in the House demanded a full debate and vote early Wednesday.

The vote will come just ahead of Merkel's departure to Brussels to attend a meeting with all other 26 EU leaders starting at 5pm, followed by a eurozone-only summit likely to end in the early hours of Thursday morning.The Bundestag is seen as unlikely to block the set of measures - an estimated EU-wide bank recapitalisation of €100 billion, a haircut for Greek bondholders of between 50 and 60 percent and a possible expansion of the firepower of the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) to some €1 trillion - but has irked countries such as Luxembourg, whose premier, Jean-Claude Juncker, criticised Germany for slowing down the decision-making process.But to other observers, the improved scrutiny by German MPs is a welcome democratic oversight in a process that has sacrificed transparency and accountability for the sake of the markets.I can't see this in a negative light because the responsibility of democratically elected MPs to have their say is a very important democratic right that has been underlined several times by the constitutional court in Karlsruhe,German Green MEP Reinhard Buetikofer told this website.German MPs increased powers over the government's EU negotiations will be a change, but not for the worse, he says, because it will force Merkel to be more transparent.Of course if you have a dictator he can take a decision in a second, but democracy takes time. If there was no scrutiny by national parliaments, these issues would have no democratic oversight whatsoever, and that would be extremely deplorable,he said.The Green MEP, who also sits as an observer in the Bundestag's EU affairs committee, said he was confident the vote would pass on Wednesday, although nobody should take any parliament for granted.

Berlusconi: Other EU states in no position to give lessons 25.10.11 @ 09:27 By Leigh Phillips

Other European states are in no position to give lessons to Italy, the country’s prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, has said, lashing out at mounting pressure on Rome to bring an end to internal political divisions and push through radical adjustment measures.Italy is under mounting pressure from the rest of Europe to push through austerity and structural adjustment despite fierce domestic opposition (Photo: Alessandro Marotta)Nobody in the union can appoint themselves administrators and speak in the name of elected governments and the peoples of Europe,the Italian leader said in his communique on Monday (24 October).No one is in a position to be giving lessons to their partners.The missive followed a humiliating EU summit in Brussels on Sunday for Berlusconi where the Italian leader was browbeaten behind closed doors for his government’s inability to make good on promises of austerity and an overhaul of the country’s economy.Later, EU presidents, Jose Manuel Barroso of the commission and Herman van Rompuy, of the EU Council, publicly demanded that member states return to Brussels by Wednesday with clear commitments on how they will put their fiscal house in order. While Italy was not mentioned by name, Rome was the intended target of the pointed remarks.A knowing glance and smirk between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel at a joint press conference on Sunday evening when asked by a reporter if they had faith that Italy would deliver was perhaps the most humbling for Berlusconi.

Newspapers across the country were quick to highlight the shame heaped on Italy by the belittling body language, which told the world much more than any public statement what the EU’s two major powers really think of the state of the country’s governance.The angry letter from Berlusconi’s office went on to say how Italy had already done and is trying to complete what is in both the national and European interest as well as in line with its sense of justice and social fairness.The missive pointed out that the need for a second round of bank bail-outs is particularly a concern for France and Germany. Italian banks for their part are in a safer position than Paris-based financial institutions, which are heavily exposed to Greek debt.The statement was released ahead of an emergency cabinet meeting that despite two hours of discussions ultimately produced little that could assuage Franco-German worries despite Italy's big promises on reform.Cabinet disagreements notably over changes to retirement age remained unresolved, according to domestic sources.The governing party’s key coalition partner, the Northern League, has repeatedly said it will not support a hike in the retirement age from 65 to 67, a warned re-issued on Monday by the party’s parliamentary leader.Following the inconclusive cabinet meeting, Berlusconi continued talks with Northern League ministers and finance minister Giulio Tremonti.In August, the European Central Bank stepped in with massive purchases of Italian and Spanish government bonds in an effort to bring down the cost of borrowing for the two countries.While the programme was initially successful, Italian 10-year bond yield are now close to six percent - within spitting distance of the levels hit in the summer.

New Commander Appointed for Judea and Samaria Division-Brigadier General Hagai Mordechai replaces the controversial Nitzan Alon as head of the IDF's Judea and Samaria Division.By Elad Benari First Publish: 10/26/2011, 3:08 AM

Brigadier General Hagai Mordechai was appointed on Tuesday commander of the IDF Judea and Samaria Division in a special ceremony.The ceremony was held at the division headquarters in Beit El, and conducted by GOC Central Command, Major General Avi Mizrahi. Brig.-Gen Mordechai is replacing Brigadier General Nitzan Alon who held the position for over two years.Brig.-Gen. Hagai Mordechai said during the ceremony, We must look at our reality with our eyes wide-open and understand that the people of Israel need a strong defensive force. A force that will defend with moral values, working according to the tradition of the Jewish people and the tradition and ethical code of the IDF, the spirit of the IDF. An Israeli defense force, leaning on its love of its people, its country and mankind. A force that operates out of commitment to defend its nation. A determined, moral and professional defense force.Alon’s tenure as commander of the Judea and Samaria division was a controversial one, due to his comments against Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.Most recently, in an interview he gave to The New York Times, Alon expressed concern over increasing violence by radical Israeli settlers,colloquially called price tag operations, which he called Jewish terrorism.He also called on U.S. Congress not to freeze aid to the Palestinian Authority in response to the unilateral PA statehood bid, saying such a step would lead to instability and insecurity - for Israel, although commenting on political issues is not the mandate of IDF personnel.

Previously, Alon distributed a letter to commanders in his division in which he asked them to investigate soldiers who are residents of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. The reason for the request, according to Alon, was a concern that these soldiers may leak information regarding future evacuation of outpost communities.His comments and actions resulted in heavy condemnations by Yesha’s leaders and protests by residents outside his home. IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz condemned the attacks against Alon in an appearance at the Or Etzion yeshiva in July.During Tuesday’s ceremony, Maj.-Gen. Avi Mizrahi praised Alon, calling him a true commander and leader. His professionalism, humility, level-headedness and sharp thinking led the division during a challenging and complex time, and he steered it safely and without hesitation towards achieving its goals with a clear understanding of its main priorities.Mizrahi rejected the criticism directed at Alon, calling it unjustified and condemning it.I find it appropriate to take this opportunity, as you leave this position, to denounce them, including those which were made by senior public officials, who chose to believe rumors, publicly making statements that are far from the truth, Mizrahi told Alon.You are true to your principles and to the policy that was determined for Judea and Samaria,he added. You led the relations with the Israeli communities with sensitivity, yet you demonstrated determination and took no shortcuts.Alon’s leaving of his position was praised by some nationalists on Tuesday, including longtime land of Israel activist Baruch Marzel.Marzel said Alon is the most left-wing commander the IDF has ever had, adding, The political persecution that Brigadier-General Alon created is what pushed people to support price tag.

Protest Movement Attempts to Show It Remains a Potent Force-Attempting to revive the protest movement Dafne Lif caustically attacked the prime minister and politicians at a press conference.By Aryeh ben Hayim First Publish: 10/25/2011, 8:57 PM

Social activist Dafni Leef began warming up the engines in advance of the social protest rallies scheduled to take place at 9 PM following the Sabbath.The main rally will take place in Tel Aviv's Rabin Square with parallel protests taking place in other major cities from Kiryat Shmona in the north to Eilat in the south. The protest movement has been in recess for the holidays and also as a result of public preoccupation with the Shalit deal and the feeling that the government has met the demands half way.In a Tel Aviv press conference this morning Leef attacked Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu repeatedly and personally I will never look you straight in the eye Mr. Prime Minister. You are living at my expense; you are using me and my people as a springboard. The time has arrived for you to admit your mistake and understand that your time is running out.Leef was equally scathing about the politicians For two months they tried to talk with a public representatives – excuse me the politicians who sit at the Knesset in Jerusalem it feels like coming into a high school… Every time I feel that they're trying to blur or water down this protest. I don't understand why I should be in a fight for survival against the public's representatives.

I don't understand how they politicians sleep at night. How do you Mr. Netanyahu get up in the morning with a smile on your face.Leef advised the prime minister to see what is going on in the United States the heart of the systems that you so admire. The system isn't working. It's time that you conceded your mistake… For my future will not be determined by the concept of a single person who only gives speeches and doesn't listen.Many leaders in the social protest movement have accused Leef's gang of four - herself, Yigal Rambam, Regev Kontes and Stav Shafiof - of being out of touch with the zeitgeist of mainstream Israelis facing economic difficulties, going to far as say their scorched-earthstance has led them to make silly demands of the government.

Sarkozy: No Such thing as a Jewish State-French President Nicolas Sarkozy says that a Jewish state has no meaning because a state is neither Jewish nor Catholic.
By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 10/25/2011, 11:37 AM

French President Nicolas Sarkozy says that a Jewish state has no meaning because a state is neither Jewish nor Catholic.He made the same remark several times this week in interviews on two Jewish radio stations and with a French news agency following the release of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, whose parents are French citizens.
Sarkozy earlier this month said on another occasion that Israel cannot be defined as Jewish no more than this table is Catholic. He was raised as a Roman Catholic but his grandfather was Jewish.His remarks reflect an international view that denies that the United Nations recognition of Israel as a country in 1947 actually is the re-establishment of the ancient state that existed for approximately 1,000 years from the time of King Saul until the fall of the Holy Temples.Asked about a Jewish state, Sarkozy replied, A Jewish state – I don’t know what that means. Speaking of a state of the Jewish people is already more interesting.A Jewish state has no meaning because a state is neither Jewish nor Catholic.Nevertheless, the French president favors a two-state solution in which Israel will be bordered by the Palestinian Authority, which PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has stated will be cleansed of Jews and thereby be a country only for Arab Muslims and a small and dwindling Christian population.

If there is a Palestinian state, it is likely that Palestinians will be mainly living there and if there is an Israeli state Jews around the world know that whatever happens they will have a homeland, according to Sarkozy’s line of thinking.
Two states for two peoples would mean that nobody is losing face. As far as I know there are millions of people who are not Jewish in Israel today,he added.Sarkozy also expressed views shared by many people who support Jews when they are down-trodden. Frankly, I prefer to be on the side of those who are victims of anti-Semitic abuse than with those who profess these kind of behaviors,he said.

Report: Obama Wants Silent Freeze in Judea, Samaria-US suggests Israel freeze construction unofficially to cause PA to restart talks.By Gil Ronen First Publish: 10/25/2011, 12:05 PM

The Obama administration reportedly wants Israel to implement a silent freeze of Jewish homebuilding in eastern Jerusalem and the mountains of Samaria and Judea to coax the Palestinian Authority (PA) into agreeing to negotiate with Israel.According to Israeli daily Maariv, the United States wants the freeze to be undeclared and partial. The idea is that Israel will not build new neighborhoods but will be allowed to build within existing ones. Any transgression of these terms will result in harsh steps against Israel by the U.S.MK Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) was quick to chop down the idea. After ten months of a loud and unprecedented freeze, it is outrageous to see that the Obama administration still believes that construction in the settlements is indeed an obstacle on the road to negotiations, she said.There is no difference between a silent and loud freeze, she added.The public's clear choice of the right wing will not allow a second freeze of construction in Judea and Samaria, no matter what statement comes out of the Prime Minister's office.The PA has insisted that Israel freeze all construction in Judea and Samaria as a precondition for negotiations. However, when Israel did freeze construction for 10 months, he did not sit down at the negotiating table, yet demanded that the freeze be extended.
