US Government asked Google to remove police brutality videos


According to the Guardian, the US Government asked Google to remove videos of police brutality on its Youtube video sharing mega-site but the technology giant declined

US police have come under increasing pressure from the American public for record number of police brutality videos that are increasing in frequency and level of violence and senselessness.

Videos of old women and paraplegics being beaten or slammed to the ground is really causing revolt in the minds of the average American and more and more of them are campaigning against such brutal police tactics, which they claim started rising after the 9-11 attack on the Word Trade Centre twin towers in New York.

Many US skeptics continue to insist that the attack was planned by the US Government as a way of increasing surveillance and encroaching into the well-protected individual rights of Americans.

US bloks $200M aid to Palestine

Want a state? We block your aid


The Palestinian Authority has accused the US of "collective punishment", after the US Congress blocked $200m (£128m) in aid in response to President Mahmoud Abbas' bid for UN statehood.

The decision to freeze the payments was reportedly made by three congressional committees on 18 August, before Abbas' planned bid for statehood recognition at the UN the following month.

The funds, intended for food aid, health care, and infrastructure projects, were supposed to have been transferred within the US financial year, which ends today. The Obama administration is reportedly negotiating with congressional leaders to unlock the aid.

More proof that US Government was runnin guns into Mexico

New documents detail operations Fast and Furious

WASHINGTON - Late Friday, the White House turned over new documents in the Congressional investigation into the ATF "Fast and Furious" gunwalking scandal.

The documents show extensive communications between then-ATF Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix office Bill Newell - who led Fast and Furious - and then-White House National Security Staffer Kevin O'Reilly. Emails indicate the two also spoke on the phone. Such detailed, direct communications between a local ATF manager in Phoenix and a White House national security staffer has raised interest among Congressional investigators looking into Fast and Furious. Newell has said he and O'Reilly are long time friends.

USD26 to hack voting machine

And all you need is a high school education to do it

Campaigning for the 2012 presidential race has already begun, but what the candidates don't know is that come election day, hackers could be the ones whose votes have the biggest impact.
Researchers from the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois have developed a hack that, for about $26 and an 8th-grade science education, can remotely manipulate the electronic voting machines used by millions of voters all across the U.S.

U.S. Scrambles to Block Palestinian Vote at U.N.

Nabil el-Araby
The United States faced increasing pressure on Tuesday as the Palestinian quest for statehood gained support from Turkey and other countries, even as the Obama administration sought an 11th-hour compromise that would avoid a confrontation at the United Nations next week.

With only days to go before world leaders gather in New York, the maneuvering became an exercise in brinkmanship as the administration wrestles with roiling tensions in the region, including a sharp deterioration of relations between three of its closest allies in the region: Egypt, Israel and Turkey.

Nabil el-Araby, secretary general of the Arab League, said after meeting with the Palestinians that “it is obvious that the Palestinian Authority and the Arab countries are leaning towards going to the General Assembly,” where a successful vote could elevate the status of the Palestinian Authority from nonvoting “observer entity” to “observer state,” a status equal to that of the Holy See.
