Das Wort “relevant” wurde erst 2006 in den Gesetzestext des Patriot Act aufgenommen um das Gesetz zu verschärfen. Zuvor reichte es aus als Bundesbehörden vorzubringen die Daten für laufende Untersuchungen zu benötigen. Doch bereits im März 2006 bestätigte der FISC, dass die Massenspeicherung von Telekommunikationsdaten “relevant” sei, im Sinne der Bekämpfung von Gefahren der inneren Sicherheit. Die Auslegung des Supreme Court von 1991 wurde einfach übergangen.

I’m not convinced that Roberts is packing the court with patsies for the national surveillance state. But it is anomalous that all 11 members of this important court are appointed by the chief justice, albeit from a pool of judges nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate for ordinary federal trial courts.

The laws we live by aren’t just the bills Congress passes and the president signs. It’s what the courts decide those bills actually mean.

The 11-member Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as the FISA court, was once mostly focused on approving case-by-case wiretapping orders. But since major changes in legislation and greater judicial oversight of intelligence operations were instituted six years ago, it has quietly become almost a parallel Supreme Court, serving as the ultimate arbiter on surveillance issues and delivering opinions that will most likely shape intelligence practices for years to come, the officials said.

In my case, my authorized access in the Pentagon and the Rand Corp. to top-secret documents — which became known as the Pentagon Papers after I disclosed them — taught me that Congress and the American people had been lied to by successive presidentsand dragged into a hopelessly stalemated war that was illegitimate from the start.

Als Stockholm-Syndrom bezeichnet man das Aufbauen eines positiven Verhältnisses einer Geisel zu ihrem Entführer. Ein Blick auf unsere Gesellschaft und deren Umgang mit ihrer Totalüberwachung zeigt ein ähnliches Phänomen: Die Gegenwart von Big Brother wird geschönt. Als Geisel der Technik soll die persönliche Freiheit aufgegeben werden. Ganz im Sinne einer neuen Weltordnung.

Last December, well before the Ed Snowden leaks revealed some information about the FISA court (FISC) and its rulings, we had already noted that the court itself was almost certainly unconstitutional. More recently, we talked about how the fact that all the court‘s judges are appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court means that the court has turned into a rubber stamp made in the image of some of the most „law and order“-minded Chief Justices from the past few decades.

Gas-rich Qatar, a key backer of the Muslim Brotherhood to which Egypt‘s Mohamed Morsi belongs, condemned the killing of 42 loyalists of the ousted president on Monday, and called on all Egyptians to abandon violence.

Early on Monday, supporters of the legitimate elected President Mohamed Morsi performing the dawn prayer outside the Republican Guard headquarters were massacred with heavy gunfire, live bullets, birdshot and tear gas. Over 1000 have been injured and more than 53 have been reported killed, so far.

Tunis, 8 July 2013

Early this morning, Monday 8 July 2013, putschist forces committed a massacre against peaceful protesters supporting the legitimate President Mohamed Morsy as they engaged in their dawn prayers. Victims of the massacre exceed 50 martyrs and hundreds of injuries.

Ennahdha Party:

– Prays for the souls of martyrs who sacrificed their lives in defence of the legitimacy expressing the will of Egyptians.

– Condemns this heinous crime committed by Egyptian security services against unarmed civilians.

– Stresses that the determination of putschists to abrogate the democratic legitimacy embodied in President Mohamed Morsy will only drive putschists to further isolation and confrontation with the entire Egyptian people.

– Calls on all Egyptian national forces to reject the coup and support the pro-democratic legitimacy front and to opt for the method of dialogue and prevention of bloodshed.

– Calls on all freedom-loving people around the world to stand in solidarity with the Egyptian people in its defence of legitimacy and democracy.

„Of course it is better if the Nour Party participates, even if it puts some pressure on us. I can accept this pressure,“ he said.

Colleagues of journalist Ahmed Assem El-Senousy, who was killed during violence at the Cairo headquarters of the Republican Guards earlier on Monday morning, gave a press conference on Monday afternoon.

Mahmoud Zaqzooq, a spokesman for the pro-Morsi Muslim Brotherhood, which organized the protest, said 53 people had been killed, including five children.

Footage taken from social media purports to show clashes between supporters of the ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi and police and soldiers outside the Republican Guard headquarters in Cairo on Sunday night.

The Muslim Brotherhood said on Monday that the chief of the armed forces wanted to drive Egypt to the same fate as Syria after at least 42 people were killed in a shooting in Cairo.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu condemned the Cairo shooting in which at least 42 people died on Monday, describing the incident as a „massacre“ and calling for the start of a normalization process.

Over the past two weeks, I have lost count of the number of officials and government ministers who, when challenged about internet surveillance by GCHQ and the NSA, try to reassure their citizens by saying that the spooks are „only“ collecting metadata, not „content“. Only two conclusions are possible from this: either the relevant spokespersons are unbelievably dumb or they are displaying a breathtaking contempt for their citizenry.

The Muslim Brotherhood called on Egyptians to rise up against those who „want to steal“ the revolution, a statement by its poliEgypt‘s Muslim Brotherhood calls for uprisingtical wing said on Monday, after the Health Ministry said 35 people were killed in shooting outside the Cairo headquarters of the Republican Guard.

• Reports indicate 300 people were wounded in attack outside Republican Guard building in Cairo
• Live coverage of all developments throughout the day

An Egyptian Health Ministry spokesman said the death toll in violence outside the Cairo headquarters of the Republican Guard stood at 35, after the Muslim Brotherhood accused the security forces of attacking protesters there.

From the main stage in Rabaa Al-Adaweya Square, Ahmed Al-Baqri, ESU vice-president, said: „The ESU’s Executive Office met today to discuss support for President Morsi. The result was 7 against two in favor of supporting the President and rejecting the ruinous coup. The Executive Office will issue a statement Monday to express support for the elected President Morsi“.

The ESU vice-president then chanted, „The students said it loud and clear.. Morsi is President of the Republic“.
