Obama 'Admin' to impose new gun control 'laws' next week. (Wapo).

President Obama will meet with Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch on Monday to finalize a set of executive actions on guns that he will unveil next week, according to several individuals briefed on the matter.

White House officials declined to comment on Obama’s plans beyond releasing his weekly radio address on Friday, a day earlier than usual. But according to those familiar with the proposal, who asked for anonymity because it was not yet public, the president will expand new background-check requirements for buyers who purchase weapons from high-volume gun dealers.

The president will also use his executive authority in several other areas, these individuals said, but the overall package has not yet been finalized.

In the radio address, Obama said he was moving unilaterally because Congress had failed to address the growing problem of gun violence.

'A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed'   - 2nd Amendment

“To regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes.” description of House Resolution 4269.

Via  Zero Hedge:

While Americans anxiously prepared for their Christmas festivities, anti gun proponents in Congress were hard at work drafting a new bill. If passed H.R. 4269 would literally redefine the Second Amendment as evidenced by the bill’s description, which in no uncertain terms clarifies its ultimate goal:

“To regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes.”

The bill directly targets every semi-automatic firearm in the United States including handguns, shotguns and rifles. It specifically mentions certain firearms and manufacturers, including the popular AR-15 and AK-47 rifles.
Because the law is Federal it would blanket the country with new restrictions, including making it illegal to own any magazine that exceeds a capacity of ten (10) rounds. 
And here’s the kicker, even if your weapon has a legally-defined low capacity detachable magazine but is modified with any of the following accessories, it is considered an “assault rifle” and would be outright banned in the United States. Read the full story here at infidel bloggers.

The TPP may lead to:

Violent revolution throughout the West and the complete elimination of the One Percent is another possible outcome. Once, for example, the French people discover that they have lost all control over their diet to Monsanto and American agribusiness, the members of the French government that delivered France into dietary bondage to toxic foods are likely to be killed in the streets.

 'We need Civilian Security Force' - John Brennan's reforms would turn the CIA into a paramilitary organization. (TheWeek).

While "cyber" and "innovation" are certainly newsier buzzwords than "restructuring," Brennan's planned changes to the CIA's internal architecture are generating controversy and conversation, and rightly so. 

Brennan's reform would extend the model of the Counterterrorism Center (CTC), a division already inside the CIA to the entire agency. This means analysts and operations officers will no longer work separately, but side by side in regional and thematic units. This is a major shift which overcomes a decades-old division of labor.

The CTC model is not without its advantages. Analysts with deep knowledge of their enemies would be able to target operations more efficiently, and they could more easily assess the reliability of incoming information. Intelligence would circulate more freely among those working on the same topic and officers would be able to apply their talents and expertise to a wider range of tasks.

If Brennan's suggested reform comes to pass, any pretense of disinterested objectivity in the CIA would disappear. The CIA would become a largely paramilitary agency with no separation between analysts and operators, the opposite of what Kent had envisioned.

The likely consequence would be a multiplication of the biased assessments like the ones on the drone and interrogation programs. In the long run, the CIA would lose its reputation for objectivity, its ready access to senior policy-makers and its centrality in the policy process. Read the full story here.

"We will see a situation that... has had for more than a decade... which is everyone has a number, everyone's DNA is taken at birth, their DNA is encoded onto their identity documents or connected to it, to their tax records, to their credit report."

SOT, Mishi Choudhary, Executive Director of Software Freedom Law Center (English): "This is the last generation that gets to make the choice whether we let the Internet allow everybody to learn on Earth or we let it be used as a tool of suppression."

In the near future governments will control every aspect of human life, with even human DNA taken at birth and encoded right into your ID, proving that the internet will merely become a tool of suppression, says Julian Assange.

"We will see a situation that ... [we] have had for more than a decade ... which is everyone has a number, everyone's DNA is taken at birth, their DNA is encoded onto their identity documents or connected to it, to Their Tax Records, to Their credit Report, " Assange Said.

In March, Assange Predicted A Bleak future for Upcoming generations, saying That we are "Moving into A New World totalitarian" as the NSA and GCHQ Will soon have the special ability to spy on the Entire Earth, as Their Capabilities Double Almost every 18 months.

"The special ability to surveil everyone on the planet is Almost there, and arguably Will be there in A few years," he Said, "And That's LED to A Huge transfer of power from the people WHO are surveiled upon to Those WHO control the Surveillance complex.

Ted Cruz Leads GOP's Fight Against IMF Expansion in Ukraine Aid Package, provisions that would unnecessarily double the U.S. contribution to IMF.

Ted Cruz Leads GOP's Fight Against IMF Expansion in Ukraine Aid Package, provisions that would unnecessarily double the U.S. contribution to IMF.HT: Heritage.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D–Nev.) is facing a revolt among Republicans for adding controversial language to an aid package for Ukraine.

The Senate is expected to vote on the Ukraine measure next week. The controversial provisions, which have support of the Obama administration and liberals from both parties, would increase U.S. financial support to the International Monetary Fund.

A growing number of Republicans warn that attaching the IMF language would reduce U.S. power while expanding Russia’s influence on the global stage in the wake of its annexation of Crimea.

>>> Q&A: Why Do Conservatives Oppose the IMF Reform Package?

Yesterday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R–Texas) spearheaded a letter of opposition backed by four other senators: Mike Enzi (R–Wyo.), Mike Lee (R–Utah), Rand Paul (R–Ky.), and Pat Roberts (R–Kan.). In their letter to Reid, they wrote:

We are deeply concerned that the Ukraine aid legislation reported by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee contains “reform” provisions that would unnecessarily double the United States contribution to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), part of the largest proportional increase ever, yet ultimately undermine our influence in that body in a manner that provides no actual relief to Ukraine. 

As we understand it, this reform would double the funds the IMF can loan, involving a doubling of the United States’ contribution from its current level of $63 billion, while simultaneously reducing U.S. influence over how these funds are directed—and increasing that of Russia. Regardless of the magnitude of this change, this idea is antithetical to the driving purpose of the underlying legislation.

The five Republican senators asked Reid to allow a vote to strip out the IMF language.

Heritage’s Jim Roberts, a research fellow for economic freedom and growth, has warned that inclusion of the IMF language in the Senate bill exploits the Ukraine aid package.

“The actions by the Obama Administration and the U.S. Senate to connect these unrelated issues in one piece of legislation represents a corruption of the congressional process, and that legislative body’s failure to deal with the Ukraine issue on its own merits,” Roberts said.

The IMF provisions were first proposed in 2010. Among the changes, Roberts noted, are the loss of U.S. veto authority over IMF funds and less control over the IMF’s decisions.

“Incredibly,” Roberts warned, “the reform package would also increase Russia’s power at the IMF at the very time when the U.S. is seeking to punish Russia for its act of war and aggression in Crimea.”
