Chinese Hackers Suspected in Cyber Attack on Council on Foreign Relations
Conscious Life News

By Bill Gertz | Free Beacon
Computer hackers traced to China carried out an advanced cyberespionage attack against one of America’s most elite foreign policy web groups – the website of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
According to private computer-security forensic specialists, the hacking incident involved a relatively new type of ploy called a “drive-by” website cyber attack that was detected around 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
The specialists, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the attack involved penetrating the computer server that operates the New York City-based CFR’s website and then using the pirated computer system to attack CFR members and others who visited or “drove by” the site.
The activity ended on Thursday and the specialists believe the attackers either removed their malicious software to prevent further details of the attack from being discovered, or CFR was able to isolate the software and remove it.
The FBI was notified of the attack and is said to be investigating.
FBI spokeswoman Jennifer Shearer declined to comment when asked about the attack. But she told the Washington Free Beacon: “The FBI routinely receives information about threats and takes appropriate steps to investigate those threats.”
However, David Mikhail, a Council on Foreign Relations spokesman, confirmed the attack. “The Council on Foreign Relations’ website security team is aware of the issue and is currently investigating the situation,” Mikhail said in an email. “We are also working to mitigate the possibility for future events of this sort.” He provided no details.

Blogger James MacArthur Denied Bail, Facing Multiple Assault Charges for “Threatening” Tweets
By JG Vibes
theintelhub.com
December 29, 2012
Blogger James MacArthur of the “Baltimore Spectator” has been denied bail again, and could now be facing new assault charges for tweets that he made which were allegedly “threatening to police”. Apparently now tweeting can legally amount to assault.
All month theintelhub.com has been doing a series of exclusive reports on the story of Frank James MacArthur, founder of the “Baltimore Spectator” activist blog and radio show.
After years of exposing crooked cops and politicians in his community, MacArthur became a target for police aggression, even more so recently because he was beginning to publicize information that would cost a few people high up in local government their jobs and reputations.
In early December, MacArthur was the victim of an elaborate kidnapping where dozens of armed SWAT team members were sent by the state to coax him out of his house and snatch him up so he could be taken to the Baltimore City dungeons, where he remains today.
Today the Baltimore Sun reported that:
“A Baltimore circuit judge denied another bail request Friday for the blogger who held a publicized standoff with city police this month that was broadcast live to thousands of listeners. Judge Lynn K. Stewart said Frank James MacArthur, also known locally as the Baltimore Spectator, posed a continuing threat to public safety and should remain jailed without bail.
It was the third time that MacArthur, 37, who lives in the Waverly neighborhood, has been denied bail. MacArthur’s attorney, Jill P. Carter, called the revocation a knee-jerk overreaction when many other suspects facing similar charges are often offered bail. MacArthur faces two weapons charges: illegal possession of a firearm and possessing an unregistered shotgun. He has no felony convictions, Carter pointed out.”
Carter, his attorney, said that “It’s a charge that doesn’t warrant his being held without bail. His history doesn’t indicate he’s a threat to public safety.”
In addition to the phoney gun charges that have already been thrown against him, prosecutors are also now talking about bringing up assault charges over tweets made during and prior to the standoff which were apparently “threatening to police”.
The article goes on to say that:
“Prosecutors said in court Friday that they plan to file second-degree assault charges against MacArthur for the alleged threats he made against officers attempting to execute an arrest warrant on Dec. 1. Mark Cheshire, a spokesman for the state’s attorney’s office, said later that the number of charges will correlate with the number of officers MacArthur allegedly threatened; prosecutors did not have a specific number Friday.”
It is obvious that he has been targeted because of his activism and his outspoken attitude towards authority.
He has been relentless on issues of police brutality and legal oppression, and has probobly been an annoyance to the department for years.

Syrian Opposition uses chemical weapons, backed by US and NATO
by Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey
Global Research
December 28, 2012
PravdaWell congratulations Messrs. Obama, Cameron and Hollande, and your Foreign Department sidekicks Hillary Clinton, Laurent Fabius and William Hague. Your terrorists in Syria have managed to use chemical weapons against government forces, something you were warning President Assad against doing. Well, well, how the tables turn.
As outed in this column several times, the attempts by the FUKUS Axis (France, UK, US) to blame the Syrian government for using chemical or biological weapons were thwarted, attempts made by these three terrorist-supporting pariahs in the international community to justify yet another illegal invasion for almost a year now. The sequel to the story is that their sweet pet terrorists have used chemical weapons, not the Government.
Remember “Obama” as he addressed “Assad”? Warning him not to use chemical weapons? Well he didn’t. The only thing the Syrian Armed Forced were doing was moving chemical weapons out of the reach of the FUKUS Axis backed terrorist forces. So let us now address “Obama” and turn his words against him and ask him now how he feels in the light of the following piece of breaking news. In fact let us go further and ask his bedpals, Hollande and Cameron.
Syrian military sources confirmed on Saturday that Syrian terrorist forces recognized by the governments of the three FUKUS Axis pariah states as the representatives of the Syrian people have used chemical weapons against government forces in Daraya, near the capital city of Syria, Damascus.
So the question now is whether Obama, Cameron and Hollande will continue to support the terrorist chemical weapon users or whether they will rethink their Syria strategy. More probably, they will deny such an attack happened and will send an army of cybernauts out to hack newspapers such as this. It is called freedom of expression after all.
The commander of the Syrian Presidential Guard confirmed to PressTV that seven Syrian soldiers were murdered by the Free Syrian Army terrorist forces on Saturday using a chemical weapon which produced a yellow toxic gas. The seven soldiers died within an hour of inhaling the gas deployed by terrorists supported by the United States of America, France and the United Kingdom, according to the source.
In recent days the terrorists supported by the FUKUS Axis have repeatedly threatened to deploy such weapons and to contaminate all the drinking water flowing to Alawite Shia. Such ba threat was backed up by a video placed on you tube which showed these terrorists torturing rabbits with water contaminated with a substance which saw them die within minutes.
When will the so-called western “democracies” hold their evil regimes accountable for supporting terrorists which in turn use chemical weapons in Syria?

Serbia’s Nikola Aleksic to President Tadic: Stop GMO, Stop Chemtrails, Or I Will Call the People of Serbia to the Streets
by Brian Andrews
AirCrap.org
August 16, 2011
In this remarkable video from Serbia (English transcript is below), Nikola Aleksic, Director of the Ecological Movement of Novi Sad, issues a stern warning to the president Boris Tadic to stop importing food based upon GMO and stop the chemtrail spraying, or he will call and personally lead the people of Serbia to the streets. He concludes his speech by saying: “You can be sure that, I, Nikola Aleksic, will keep my word – even at the cost of my own life.”
Aleksic also implores the Serbian army to “defend you people and sky over Serbia”, and tells the people of Serbia that now is no time to be cowards – they need to stand up for their rights for themselves and their children.
Here’s the transcript of Nikola Aleksic’s amazing speech:
National Assembly and the Government of Serbia,
The recent events surrounding the intentions for legalizing the growing genetically modified organisms (GMO) have shown that these GMO plans must be put under public supervision and control since they betray the national interests of the Serbian people.
They must not play with the state and our lives, no matter who wants them.
The legalization of the growing GMO in Serbia would mean that we would have to open our borders to import such food and products.
Import of such hazardous foods would start the biggest genocide over the Serbian people.
To those swashbucklers in charge, it was too little or they are really in a hurry, so they came up with a new technique in which they began treating us like insects.
See our sky Serbian citizens!
You can see it for yourself! See the traces of poison that comes from unmarked planes daily. From the moment when our own government signed the so-called Partnership for Peace (on December 14, 2006), the sky over Serbia is completely under the network of poison trails, which felonious planes pour daily like we are insects and not people.
Above us are implemented “vivo” experiments as in concentration camps during World War II.
Above is us is open genocide! Our traitorous government allowed it.
They have sold their own people in order to remain in a position where they were brought by criminal representative of foreign agencies.
Do you have a right to be a coward?
Can you be a coward when you and your children are constantly sprayed with poisons, of which nobody in our government will tell you what toxins we are being bombarded with?
Can you be a coward when you know that this traitorous team sold you and surrendered you to the mercy and disfavor of the most felonious organization in the world?
I, Nikola Aleksic, the director of the Ecology Movement of Novi Sad, in Serbia, which is the only organization that is advocating and fighting for the protection of the health and life of the population, CAN NOT AND WILL NOT BE SILENT!
Publicly, I demand that the army of Serbia constitutionally defend its people and its skies over Serbia.
They should take down unmarked planes and the criminals who are carrying out genocide over our population.
If the Serbian Army, back I 1991, had an excuse for betraying the people and the state, explaining that it was a political group army, I ask them today with open heart: Whose army are you now since you allow complete and public poisoning of your own people by spraying from the sky with unmarked planes of the most felonious organization in the world.
Are you aware of the consequences of your betrayal?
Do you think that your children will not breathe the sprayed poisons? That your children will be exempted from the genocide?
To soldiers: defend you people and sky over Serbia.
Do NOT wait for the command of traitorous management, because when they give the command, we are no more.
You’ve sworn to the people of Serbia and not some foreign leaders who trample the Constitution of Serbia and betray their own people.
I, Nikola Aleksic, demand from the Public Prosecutor of Serbia to start doing his job or we will consider him an accomplice to the treachery and poisoning of his own people. You must initiate proceedings against those responsible for betrayal – even against the president of the Republic of Serbia.
Somebody sold us to the felons. Somebody sold the sky over Serbia to those felons so that they could poison us. Somebody in
Serbia gave permission to those criminals so that they could use unmarked planes for poisoning as a beginning of genocide of the Serbian population. The crime of genocide never expires.
If the Public Prosecutor doesn’t start doing his job today, the people will do it themselves because it is over our heads.
We can NOT and will NOT remain silent.
Serbia has to wake up or she is no more. Serbia is facing death! She has been robbed, humiliated, with an endangered future.
And above all, now they have also stared to poison our environment, our people, and future generations.
None of us know the extent of the damage from the felonious spraying from the unmarked planes that can take place in the future.
None of us know in which generation may happen already planned sterility of our scion. In which generation will they wipe us out from the geopolitical map of the world?
This poisoning must be stopped! One way or another… so that we will not experience fatal consequences.
Now, this is a question for the Serbian people. Therefore, I say to Boris Tadic personally: if you don’t stop the poisoning of people from planes, or if you don’t stop importing food based upon GMO, then I, Nikola Aleksic, will call the people of Serbia to get on the streets, and I will be the first.
But, not to crush the system, but to defend the constitution and the current applicable laws and rights for our future.
People of Serbia, I call upon you to defend our natural and constitutional right with all available resources, our right to health lives: our sacred right to the future and the future of your children’s children.
To defend our natural and the constitutional right to exist.
About the time and place for going out into the streets, I will promptly notify you in public.
You can be sure that, I, Nikola Aleksic, will keep my word – even at the cost of my own life.
