Hiftar was betrayed by Gaddafi, was approached by the CIA, moved to the USA, and now says he'll purge Libya of jihadists. Really? 'It defies belief': Snowden condemns UK’s new surveillance bill NSA whistleblower, Edward Snowden, has denounced the UK’s emergency surveillance bill, criticizing the distinct lack of public debate it encompassed and its heightened powers of intrusion. The ultimate goal of the NSA is total population control At least 80% of all audio calls, not just metadata, are recorded and stored in the US, says whistleblower William Binney – that's a 'totalitarian mentality' The Senate is giving more power to the NSA, in secret. Everyone should fight it Politicians are still trying to hand over your data behind closed doors, under the guise of 'cybersecurity' reform. Have we learned nothing?

US Foreign Policy: War for Money Why does everyone care so much about the Middle East? The answer is obvious: it's all about the oil. Do you really think the United States would give a damn about Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, or Libya if they didn't control so much of the world's master resource? Not a chance. Seen in this light it's easy to dismiss the propaganda about American intervention in the region. U.S. wastes billions on bad foreign policy Along with Uncle Sam exercising his divine right to invade the other guy's turf, we've also backed, with arms, troops, and money, corrupt foreign governments and countries fractured by ethnic and religious violence. An Exceptional Decline for the Exceptional Country? For America's national security state, this is the age of impunity.
