Dad Accuses FBI of Setting Up ‚Mommy‘s Boy‘ Son in Bomb Plot
The FBI first noticed Cornell several months ago, after an informant notified the agency that…
He later met an informant in Cincinnati over two days in October, and then another two days in November. During the last meeting, Cornell told an FBI informant that …
John Cornell Sr. says thereâs no way his son could have thought up a terror plot on his own.
âHe told me he had went to a mosque and now I know, in hindsight I know, he was meeting with an FBI agent,â he told ABC News.

What Hebdo execution video really shows
So what points am I making?
The first one is more tentative. It seems â though I suppose there could be an explanation I have overlooked â that the authorities have lied about the cause of the policemanâs death. That could be for several probably unknowable reasons, including that his being executed was a simpler, neater story than that he bled to death on the pavement because of official incompetence (there already seems to have been plenty of that in this case).
The second point is even more troubling. Most of the senior editors of our mainstream media have watched the unedited video just as you now have. And either not one of them saw the problem raised here â that the video does not show what it is supposed to show â or some of them did see it but did not care. Either way, they simpy regurgitated an official story that does not seem to fit the available evidence.
That is a cause for deep concern.

Net Neutrality Under Threat In India
We recently reported on extraordinarily wide-ranging censorship imposed on Internet users in India. That‘s rather obscured another story that‘s been playing out there: an attempt to undermine net neutrality in the country. Here‘s how it began (via Slashdot):
Four top Secret Service executives told to leave their posts in agency shake-up
Clancy cited the DHS review, as well as âmy own assessments,â in making his decision this week.
Yet he stopped short of a total house cleaning. The agencyâs longtime second-in-command, Deputy Director Alvin T. Smith, who has been a central decision-maker under the past three directors, remained in his post
Das Schweigen der BlÀtter
Um die Berichterstattung von vornherein Israel-freundlich einzustimmen, lieben es die jeweiligen Botschafter, vorwiegend die Chefredakteure in exklusiven und vertrauten âHintergrundgesprĂ€chenâ aufzuklĂ€ren und ihnen eine besonders âeinfĂŒhlsameâ Berichterstattung ans Herz zu legen. Und so sehen die Berichte dann hĂ€ufig auch aus: So mancher Nahostkorrespondent mutiert unter dem Druck seiner Chefs vom Journalisten zum Propaganda-Sprachrohr, das die Vorgaben aus Tel Aviv ohne jeden kritischen Ansatz umsetzt.

Kritik an Blockade der Telekom: 1. Untersuchungsausschuss (NSA) – 15.01.2015
Harte Kritik an der Auskunftsblockade der Telekom ĂŒbten am Donnerstag Abgeordnete des Untersuchungsausschusses, der den SpĂ€hskandal um den US-Geheimdienst NSA durchleuchten soll. Bei der Befragung zu Details des zwischen 2004 und 2008 vom Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) und von der NSA unter dem Codewort âEikonalâ betriebenen Anzapfens eines Internetknotens in Frankfurt und der Rolle der Telekom bei diesem Projekt verweigerte der Zeuge Helfrich, ein Sicherheitstechniker des Unternehmens, in einem Umfang AuskĂŒnfte, wie es das Bundestagsgremium bislang noch nicht erlebt hat.
Schluss fĂŒr heute! Morgen um 9:00 geht‘s weiter mit Peter Schaar.

Untersuchungsausschuss zu Edathy: Ex-BKA-Chef Ziercke wirft Edathy „RealitĂ€tsverlust“ vor
Der ehemalige BKA-PrĂ€sident Jörg Ziercke hat vor dem Untersuchungsausschuss des Bundestags zur Edathy-AffĂ€re erneut erklĂ€rt, dass er in den Jahren 2013 und 2014 keine Informationen ĂŒber die Ermittlungen gegen den damaligen SPD-Abgeordneten Sebastian Edathy weitergegeben hat.

The Daily Show: March of the Parisiens
World leaders march in solidarity with France at a rally for free expression following the Charlie Hebdo attack, but U.S. representatives are curiously absent.
Daily Show references Palestinian cartoonist Mohammad Sabaâaneh in story on free speech hypocrisy
Jon Stewartâs coverage of âMarch of the Parisiansâ on the Daily Show the other night was fantastic. His guest was Jimmy Carter, who was his fabulous self, but for an episode packed with multiple hysterically executed clips (Hassan, the âdenounciestâ Muslim ever! â see below ), for me at least â Mohammad Sabaâanehâs flash appearance stole the show. Did you recognize him?
After a brief introduction a mini montage of the crowd pencil-photos appeared with Stewart claiming âthe march gave Parisians a chance to introduce a new icon of libertyâ, that pencils were âthe new symbol of freedom of expression was everywhere.â

âBow before new Graphite King, be not afraidâ Screenshot (2:41)
Immediately I thought of Sabaâanehâs timeless 2011 Freedom of Expression cartoon we featured in our first article about Sabaâaneh when he was detained by Israel back in February 2013.
Stewart emphasized the flagrant hypocrisy of world leaders attending the march, whose regimes are complicit in gross violations of human rights pertaining to the suppression of free speech. Ticking off the names countries â Russia, Egypt, Turkey, blogger-flogging Saudi Arabia, he referenced Israel (renowned for the arrests, imprisonment, and murder of journalists) with a quote âPalestinian cartoonistâŠwork landed him in an Israeli Prison for five monthsâ .. all of the sudden the image jumped off my screen, of the very person on my mind just seconds before; Mohammad Sabaâaneh.
France Celebrates Its New Reverence For Free Speech By Arresting Comedian For His Speech
Over the weekend in Paris there was a so-called „Unity March“ in response to last week‘s Charlie Hebdo attack. The photographs from the march were striking — even if the famed photo of many world leaders holding hands and marching together turned out to a photo op on a closed street, rather than with the rest of the marchers. And, of course, this was all a facade. Many of the leaders who were there oversee governments that don‘t believe in free speech or a free press at all. Here, for example, is Jillian York trying to figure out if any of the leaders truly support freedom of expression.
Egypt says gas imports from Israel possible
Answering to a question about the prospects of the country resorting to gas imports from Israel, Egyptian Oil Minister Sharif Ismail said on Wednesday, âAnything can happen.â
He added, âWhatever achieves the best interests of Egypt, and of the Egyptian economy and the role of Egypt in the region… will determine the decision to import gas from Israel.â
