Snowden Passed Through Norway to Iceland - Pirate Party Norway
--Organization Pirate Party Norway claims that accused spy Edward Snowden
landed at Oslo Gardermon Airport last night. 24 Jun 2013 The party leader
Øystein Jakobsen would meet with Snowden when he landed on Sunday evening,
according to the party's twitter account. "We have received information
from our international umbrella party, the Pirate Parties International
(PPI), that he will stop in Norway. The reason is that this is probably
the quickest and easiest way to fly to Iceland," says Tale Østrådal from
the Pirate Party to TV2 Norway. Øsrådal also said that Pirate Party in
Iceland confirmed Snowden's stay in the country.

Snowden sought Booz Allen job to gather evidence on NSA surveillance
--Fugitive whistle-blower reveals for first time he took job at US
government contractor with the sole aim of collecting proof of spying
activities 25 Jun 2013 Edward Snowden secured a job with a US government
contractor for one reason alone - to obtain evidence of Washington's
cyberspying networks, the South China Morning Post can reveal. For the
first time, Snowden has admitted he sought a position at Booz Allen
Hamilton so he could collect proof about the US National Security Agency's
secret surveillance programmes ahead of planned leaks to the media. "My
position with Booz Allen Hamilton granted me access to lists of machines
all over the world the NSA hacked," he told the Post on June 12. "That is
why I accepted that position about three months ago."

Report: Man who executed Saddam Hussein killed in Iraq 22 Jun 2013 One of
the executioners involved in the hanging of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein
has been killed, the outlawed Baath Party said in a statement on Friday.
While not providing a date for when the executioner was killed, the
statement identified him as Mohammed Nassif al-Maliki, who allegedly
appeared in the video of Saddam's execution. The statement said Maliki was
the masked man standing on the left side of the former Iraqi strongman and
slipping the noose around his neck.

NORAD plans Wednesday training flights east of Denver --NORAD has been
monitoring domestic air traffic since the 9/11 attacks [and, on that day,
too, until Dick Cheney gave the order for NORAD to stand down and to allow
the attacks to proceed]. 24 Jun 2013 If you live east of Denver, you may
get a free air show Wednesday as aircraft from the North American
Aerospace Defense Command fly overhead during a training exercise. The
training flights are planned to test NORAD's ability to deal with aerial
threats. NORAD is headquartered at Peterson Air Force Base. The flights
will involve F-15 interceptors and C-21 transport planes, NORAD said in a
news release.

Six arrested in French anti-terrorist raid: source 25 Jun 2013 Six people
were arrested in the Paris region on Monday in coordinated raids on
members of a suspected radical Islamist cell allegedly planning "terrorist
acts" on French soil, a source close to the investigation told AFP. The
suspects, aged between 22 and 38, were "all known to police for serious
delinquency" and are being detained by the police anti-terrorist unit in
the Paris suburb of Levallois. The members of the suspected Islamist cell
include one man from Benin, another from the Comoros and four French
nationals, a source close to the case said.

Leahy: Border security measure reads 'like a Christmas wish list for
Halliburton' 22 Jun 2013 Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy
(D-Vt.) has panned a proposal to fast-track billions of dollars in
spending on 'border security' as a boondoggle for government contractors.
Leahy said a proposal drafted by Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and John
Hoeven (R-N.D.) "reads like a Christmas wish list for Halliburton." The
amendment requires implementation and activation of $4.5 billion in
technology and equipment to achieve full surveillance of the U.S.-Mexico
border. Leahy criticized the GOP-sponsored language for waiving standard
federal contracting rules.

Senate $38 Billion 'Border Plan' Boosts Immigration Law Prospects 24 Jun
2013 The Senate advanced the costliest plan ever to bolster security
corpora-terrorists' coffers at the U.S.-Mexico border, drawing enough
Republican support to indicate that a broad revision of immigration law
will pass by week's end. The 67-27 vote allows the measure to move
forward. It would double the size of the U.S. Border Patrol and require
another 350 miles of fencing at the boundary with Mexico -- at a[n INSANE]
price tag its authors say will reach *38 billion. "Some people have
described this as a border surge," said Senator Bob Corker, a Tennessee
Republican who proposed the measure...

Justices Step Up Scrutiny of Race in College Entry 25 Jun 2013 Courts must
take a skeptical look at affirmative-action programs at public colleges
and universities, the Supreme Court ruled Monday, in a decision that is
likely to set off a wave of challenges to race-conscious admissions
policies nationwide. The 7-to-1 decision avoided giving a direct answer
about the constitutionality of the program, used by the University of
Texas at Austin, that was before the court. The program will continue for
now, but the justices ordered an appeals court to reconsider the case
under a demanding standard that appears to jeopardize the program.

Fed official likens current market behavior to 'feral hogs' 24 Jun 2013
Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher said Monday in an interview that
"feral hogs" are testing the central b*nk, as bond yields have spiked
higher. "Markets tend to test things," Fisher told the Financial Times.
"We haven't forgotten what happened to the Bank of England [on Black
Wednesday]. I don't think anyone can break the Fed...?But I do believe
that big m*ney does organize itself somewhat like feral hogs. If they
detect a weakness or a bad scent, they'll go after it."
