Idaho's State-Sponsored Gambling Ring Whacks a Small-Time Competitor
posted 12/05/2013, 1:11 AM (Will Grigg)
[Category: Politics/Corruption]
On the same day that Boise property owner Skinner Anderson was arrested and charged with gambling-related felonies, the state’s largest gambling syndicate began its largest buy-in to date. The state government of Idaho – which is collaborating in the prosecution of Anderson and the seizure of his property – announced its Mega Millions lottery jackpot. Tickets cost one dollar apiece, and will be sold at retail outlets state-wide, thereby directly implicating hundreds of business owners – as well as the entire taxpaying population -- in an activity that would be regarded as criminal if conducted privately.
Anderson has been charged with an obscure and little-prosecuted offense called “misprision of felony” because he failed to notify authorities that a home he had rented was being used for what are described as illegal poker games and tournaments. Earlier this year, police raided two houses in which poker games were conducted, one of which belonged to Anderson.
When the FBI became involved in order to facilitate seizure of the property, Kings Santy, who organized the games, became a cooperating witness, implicating Anderson.
Mr. Anderson, who had no direct involvement in a penny-ante poker tournament, may be sent to prison by the same government that operates a multi-billion-dollar gambling operation. |

"People, it is time to talk about guns.
My entire adult life has been dedicated to the deliberate management of violence. There are no two ways around that fact. My job, at the end of the day, is about killing. I orchestrate violence.
I am not proud of that fact. Indeed, I am often torn-up by the realization that not only is this my job, but that I am really good at my job. But my profession is about directed violence on behalf of the nation. What is happening insid... (more) |

Americans Want Congress Members To Pee In Cups To Prove They're Not On Drugs

[Category: Politics/Corruption]
WASHINGTON -- While most Americans like the idea of drug testing for welfare recipients, they LOVE the idea of drug testing for members of Congress.
According to a new HuffPost/YouGov poll, 64 percent of Americans favor requiring welfare recipients to submit to random drug testing -- a measure pushed by Republican lawmakers in recent years -- while 18 percent oppose it. But an even stronger majority said they're in favor of random drug testing for members of Congress, by a 78 perc... (more) |

Special Report: The Pentagon's doctored ledgers conceal epic waste
posted 11/19/2013, 11:05 AM (Reuters)
[Category: Politics/Corruption]
Because of its persistent inability to tally its accounts, the Pentagon is the only federal agency that has not complied with a law that requires annual audits of all government departments. That means that the $8.5 trillion in taxpayer money doled out by Congress to the Pentagon since 1996, the first year it was supposed to be audited, has never been accounted for. That sum exceeds the value of China's economic output last year.... (more) |

Builders of Obama's health website saw red flags

[Category: Politics/Corruption]
WASHINGTON (AP) — Crammed into conference rooms with pizza for dinner, some programmers building the Obama administration's showcase health insurance website were growing increasingly stressed. Some worked past 10 p.m., energy drinks in hand. Others rewrote computer code over and over to meet what they considered last-minute requests for changes from the government or other contractors.
As questions mount over the website's failure, insider interviews and a review of technical spe... (more) |

DOJ Puts Another Leaker In Jail: The War On Whistleblowers Rolls On

[Category: Politics/Corruption]
You may recall that, prior to the whole Snowden affair, the DOJ was under fire for spying on the phone records of a bunch of Associated Press journalists. The issue was some details of the US disrupting a supposed plan by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) to bomb a US-bound plane were leaked. The DOJ has now triumphantly announced a guilty plea for the leak from Donald Sachtleben, an ex-FBI agent, who apparently gave detailed info about the plot to AP journalists.... (more) |

Supreme Court Justices Can't Figure Out Email, Completely Mystified By Social Media

[Category: Politics/Corruption]
There are legitimate reasons to avoid email -- such as Ladar Levison of Lavabit explaining his concerns about privacy. And, certainly, you can understand why some more elderly people have avoided email, though if my late grandmother kept up her emailing well past her 90th birthday, it seems like almost anyone should be able to pick it up. But, it's somewhat disturbing to find out that nearly every Supreme Court Justice hasn't bothered to figure out email yet because they haven't "gotten to... (more) |
