[WASHINGTON -- The White House did not inform a key Senate backer of whistleblower protections ahead of time that President Barack Obama would issue a signing statement circumventing those provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013, according to the senator's office.
The protections for federal government contractors had been pushed by Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) during the drafting of the NDAA over the last several months. After Obama signed the bill into law on Wednesday, he issued a signing statement objecting to those sections without having alerted McCaskill, her office told The Huffington Post.
The signing statement is yet another chapter in the president's ongoing clash with whistleblower advocates. Obama, who has come under fire for his administration's aggressive prosecution of leak cases, issued the statement despite the fact that the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence had already removed from the bill protections for contractors working in the intelligence community.]
[McMahon also noted that in 1994 Congress passed a law that “makes it a crime for a ‘national of the United States’ to ‘kill or attempt to kill a national of the United States while such national is outside the United States but within the jurisdiction of another country.’ The statute contains no exemption for the President (who is, obviously, a national of the United States) or anyone acting at his direction.”]
As we all know he may likely beat this rap. I'd let him skate on this charge after his trial, conviction and hanging as a foreign spy for the global mafia committee.
Bush called them crayola do-overs and he had a few hundred and the big box 96 with the sharpener. He used the burnt sienna down to a nub his first year.
The line item veto goes back to the house as a full veto, the signings are done as a workaround for the exec branch only. It's a difference that helps the CIC only and prerogative powers. It was Bush's trademark executive power.
Ya know...I work anywhere from 12 - 16 hours a day on digging for and attempting to spread the truth on this damned frustrating machine and web system. And that is every day of the week.
I remember my X telling me, "You are free now, you can do anything you want any time you want to."
Several motivations here. I always wanted to write. I always wanted to save the world...{grin}...well you guys know what I mean.
Whether we can make a difference here, I don't know - but for myself it is gratifying to know I am at least giving it my best shot. And I want to say that I appreciate this venue, and all of the people here who have joined together for this shared effort.
The establishment pretends it doesn't like 'conspiracy theories' – bullshit, they love conspiracy theories, the more the merrier, the wackier the better. What the establishment doesn't want is truth. They promote such theories by their own suspicious and conflicting stories.
The very nature of the National Security State itself is a conspiracy, a secret establishment making an agenda behind closed doors, enforcing secrecy by diktat, and the “magic words” “national security”.
"When the media permit agenda to take precedence over news, people lose confidence in the media and distrust spreads deeper into society. If the media and the government are opposed to conspiracy theories, they should not foster the theories by mishandling the news." ~Paul Craig Roberts

dude,take a break and have some homeade wine or some of that good horse-manure the kids smoke nowadays. We all know how this is going to end so just roll with it,ya know?
But Korn, I am into this as much as I was into painting, or sculpting...It's my thang...and I get by with a little help from my stone pipe. I bang it and everything has slapback echo for awhile.
Java is my beverage of choice, a constant companion, like my parrot who is usually perched on my shoulder. We sing duets and I bang on the keyboard to keep time.
I for one appreciate everything COTO informs me of. Keep it coming, being AWAKE is tough, but less so because of this group of like minded, informed souls.
What Xtianity was saying is the truth of the universe. LUCIS and the TRUST cannot hurt you. Only make you hurt yourself. I regards to the flesh, it is crap. And we all have fed it such all our lives. Time to cleanse the colon but more important the pineal. Kick the crust off and see the formula for true awakening.
Forget the reality outer and get to the real inner. I laugh at the little black stickman and his blue-eyed beamers. They are jokes, clowns and court jesters. The deck is rigged from Ace to King. I ridicule their pathetic little power grabs and intend on stealing it. I fear not their bluffs and I am all in this hand and this time. If they represent the best of the trust, we are holding all the cards.
I think Paul Craig Roberts is wearing rose colored glasses when looking back on the Reagan regime.
The newly awakened often think it is just now dawn...it is not, it is but a few moments before midnight. Let's not forget Iran-Contra was on Reagan's watch, if you can call sleeping through cabinet meetings as "watching".
Of course it has gotten worse, no doubt about it...drip by drip has turned into Niagara Falls.
R.I.P. Scott Getzinger By THE DEADLINE TEAM | Monday April 9, 2012 @ 6:25pm PDTTags: Obituary
Popular prop master for a number of big films and television series, Scott Getzinger was killed Friday night in a head-on collision in Stamford, Conn, when his truck was struck by a car driven by an 18-year-old. Getzinger’s credits include Shutter Island, Salt, Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, and such upcoming films as The Dark Knight Rises and Men In Black III. He was also the property master on Showtime’s series pilot Masters & Johnson and AMC’s Rubicon.
This is the guy who handled all the Props. Including Sandy Hook/Gotham map.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004050/
Prop Master of Dark Knight Rises Died 3 Months Before Movie Release 396
LOL, beats me! I'm a pool store manager that sells hot tubs. I suck at pushing paper....good with chemicals tho. Glad my job isn't stressful, cause life sure is!
Patrick, that is just creepy. How did he go from non threatening injuries to dead? The U.N. passenger... wtf? From Newtown.....
His wife giving the Newtown school board hell months before... what was that about? I could only make out it was something about special needs? The audio was garbled. Did you get more from it ?
Hi Deb. Rogue posted it days ago and I missed it. Rogue knows Holyrood and he knows coto. How coinky-dink is that? Why are they making a mockery of a mockery.
I'm not biting on Lincoln and Sumter here. They can't have what they want. Guns yeah, free speech, okay but not my Water Filter. I have de-crusted my pineal somewhat and not willing to give them my neurons.
Haha, been giving hell to ol' One Eyed Jackass OBF over at T&S...
I guess you realize another nemesis of mine has joined up with the crew here. I am still vetting him. The hazing gets all sorts of high pitch screeches from him.
I gotta get next door and see what Nicole has come up with...
Well this thing with Scott Getzinger, puts out a vibe that I am intuiting here that I mentioned back when I first posted about him.
The intuition is in a hypothesis that perhaps the Sandy Hook area, school and all, is perhaps a studio owned "Live Set" used for Gotham City...
The housing may be set up as regular residential just for long shots of "character actors". I haven't filled any of these thoughts out or thunk it through much, as it is somewhat of a long shot to put together from the death of a property master. Just something brewing in the back of my mind for awhile.
Shocking but hardly surprising...the FBI protecting the identity of real criminals plotting murder. It would be a natch that FBI and military snipers would be moonlighting for these corporatist hits.
Hey Deb, Rappoport published my question about pinning Lanza as the murderer, but did't answer...?? It seems if he was going to answer it would have been then and there... Some people feel they are above responding to "little people"..
The Complicit Zionist Lame Stream Media is the place where America should hit them. Who's talking Democracy and Fair Media? Only idiots.

Expect these fast & furiously over the final lame duck sessions.
"Signing Statements" are in fact 'line item veto' and another example of this government utterly ultra vires.
