Facebook tracks your every move, even after logging out

Ethan A. Huff
Wed., Sept., 28 2011

(NaturalNews) The social media empire Facebook has unveiled some new "features" on its platform in recent days that many allege are a total and compete privacy-breaching nightmare. But one hidden feature, discovered by Nik Cubrilovic, an Australian entrepreneur and writer, that few people are aware of is the fact that Facebook now monitors your online activity, even when you are not logged in to the service.

With each new change Facebook makes, users' privacy becomes a little less ... nonexistent, if you will. The most recent "News Feed" modifications, for example, display everything you say and do on the site to all of your "friends," and even to the public. And now, even after logging out of Facebook, permanent "cookies" track all your movements on websites that contain Facebook buttons or widgets.

"Even if you are logged out, Facebook still knows and can track every page you visit," Cubrilovic wrote on a recent blog posting. "The only solution is to delete every Facebook cookie in your browser, or to use a separate browser for Facebook interactions" (http://nikcub-static.appspot.com/lo...).

But how many Facebook users will actually know to do this? The site has never announced to its users that it is even tracking them in the first place, let alone given them any instructions on how to "opt-out" of this egregious invasion of privacy.

Facebook, of course, has become infamous for simply changing its site setup, including privacy settings, and leaving it up to users to figure out how to contain their breached information after the fact. It has switched from an "opt-in" approach, where users used to be given the option to "upgrade" to new features, to a much more complicated "opt-out" approach, where Facebook makes drastic changes and leaves it up to users to somehow figure out how to change things back to the way they were (if such an option is even still possible).

"While initially opt-in, the default then seems to be expose everything," says David Vaile, executive director of the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre, concerning Facebook's "breathtaking and audacious grab for whole life data."

"Facebook, once again, are (sic) doing things that are beyond most users' capacity to understand while reducing their privacy ... the default setting for any site should be 'reveal nothing about me unless I make a specific choice otherwise.'"

The Real Truth on Libya and the Media Wars

Mackdv1st`s Channel., Oct., 6 2011

In 1969, the British Special Air Service (S.A.S.) was contacted by the Libyan Royal Family and planned an assassination attempt to restore the Libyan monarchy. The plan was dubbed the "Hilton Assignment", named after a Libyan jail. The plan was to release 150 political prisoners from a jail in Tripoli as a catalyst for a general uprising. The prisoners would be recruited for a coup attempt, and the British agents would leave them to take over the nation. The plan was called off at a late stage by the British Secret Intelligence Service because the United States government decided that Gaddafi was anti-Marxist and therefore acceptable.

In 1976, Tunisia's state television reported that Gaddafi had been fired at by a lone assailant. None of the shots hit him. In 1981, French president Valéry Giscard d'Estaing plotted an assassination attempt with Egypt. His administration spoke with the Reagan administration for approval, but the United States did not support the measure. The plot was abandoned after Giscard's term in office.

In 1986, the United States bombed Libya, including Gaddafi's family compound in the vast Bab al-Azizia Barracks in southern Tripoli. The U.S. Government consistently said that the bombings were "surgical strikes" and were not intended to kill Gaddafi. However, Oliver North did devise a plot at the time to lure Gaddafi into his compound using Terry Waite. The plot violated US law, which prohibited assassinations, and was never put into action. On 15 April, Gaddafi and his family had fled his compound in the Bab al-Azizia Barracks moments before it was bombed. He received a phone call the night of 15 April, warning him about an attack. The origin of the phone call remains under speculation, but Maltese Prime Minister Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici and Italian politician Bettino Craxi have been primary suspects.

In 1993, over 2,000 Libyan soldiers plotted to assassinate Gaddafi. The soldiers were members of the Warfalla tribe, which rebelled because it was not well-represented in the upper ranks of the Libyan Army. The coup attempt was crushed by the Libyan Air Force, which was entirely made of members of the Qadhadhfa tribe, which Gaddafi belongs to. The tribal tensions that resulted with the Warfalla and the Magariha caused Gaddafi to place his second-in-command, Abdessalam Jalloud, a Magariha, under house arrest, and led to oppression of the Warfalla. The rebellion was largest in the city of Misrata. Libyan media did not cover any reports on the rebellion, but European diplomats saw large numbers of wounded and casualties in the hospitals. * In February 1996, Islamic extremists attacked Gaddafi's motorcade near the city of Sirte. Allegedly, Britain's Secret Intelligence Service was involved, which was denied by future foreign secretary Robin Cook. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office later stated: "We have never denied that we knew of plots against Gaddafi."

In August 1998, former British MI5 officer David Shayler renewed his attacks on the secret services, claiming that MI6 had invested GB£100,000 in a plot to assassinate Gaddafi. In June 1998, Islamic militants opened fire on Gaddafi's motorcade near the town of Dirnah. One of his Amazonian female Guards sacrificed herself to save his life. He was injured in the elbow according to witnesses.

Libyans in Tripoli still support Qaddafi despite NTC claims


video courtesy of RT.news and WolkenZwemmer

Sept., 15 2011

A month on from Tripoli’s fall to rebel forces, the leaders of France and Britain are traveling to the city in a show of support for the regime their warplanes helped put in power, while those who backed Colonel Gaddafi remain defiant but fearful.

On the eve of the visit of French President Nicholas Sarkozy and British PM David Cameron, the head of the National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, has asked for more weapons to fight pockets of Colonel Gaddafi's loyalists and remove them from their remaining strongholds.
The rebel government thinks the ousted dictator is hiding in southern Libya and planning a fight-back.

However, the new authority is asserting an increasing level of control over the country.
For some, that is cause for celebration – but many others are reserved in their optimism.
In parts of Tripoli it feels as if the rebels’ triumphant campaign never happened, or did so elsewhere, in some parallel version of the Libyan capital.

“We will do anything for Muammar, only Muammar! Even if we give our life for that!” claims one street vendor, while hiding her face from RT’s camera.

In today’s Tripoli, it is becoming a commonplace to meet people who are afraid of speaking openly to journalists as RT’s team discovered on the streets of the city. This is how one encounter went:
“All people here love MuammarGaddafi.”
“We are from television – could you tell us that on camera?”
“No, no.”
“Why?”
“This is dangerous…”

And it was the same story with others who fervently support the ousted Libyan leader.
“Gaddafi is 100 per cent good!”
“We don’t want this revolution, we don’t know the rebels.”
“We want them to go away.”
“Could you talk on camera? We are from TV.”
“No, no, no thanks, if I appear in front of the camera, they will send a bullet to my head…”
“Who? Who?”
“Who? The criminals! You don’t know them? You call them the rebels!”
“Hey guys, do you remember Ehab, the black guy, he was arrested few days ago, after he appeared on TV… don’t do that!”

Those calling themselves rebels are once again celebrating on Martyrs’ Square in downtown Tripoli. This time, they are welcoming Libya’s new government to the capital.
The head of the National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, spoke before large crowds, leaving Libyans in no doubt about who is now in charge.
But while the NTC leader was giving his speech, most of Tripoli’s population preferred to stay close to their businesses and homes.

Those who do not support Mustafa Abdul Jalil and could be seen all across the city proudly waving green flags just weeks ago backing Gaddafi, are now reluctant to leave their own backyards.

“They are afraid because if they go out they will die instantly because there are many people with weapons and guns,” one man, who was afraid to speak on camera, told RT.
With Gaddafi effectively gone, the new authorities have settled down here in the capital, Tripoli. People are chanting that Libya is now a new free country. But it seems there is at least one thing that still remains – fear.

We finally found one young man – Ahmed – brave enough to talk to RT’s crew. This is what he had to say:
“Tripoli is now under the control of the National Transitional Council and we don’t feel we have freedom to talk or to express our opinions. If we say something in favor of Gaddafi they can kill us or arrest us. Of course, many are in fear.”

The 19-year-old says many of his friends have been arrested recently for making statements critical of the new regime. Ironically, we were talking just a kilometer away from one of Gaddafi’s top secret jails for political prisoners known as Abu Salim.

“The rebels, they only represent themselves – not the Libyan people. This revolution started with killings to intimidate through fear. Their hands are all covered in blood,” Ahmed said.
Amnesty International has recently accused both Gaddafi's regime and the one which replaced it of committing war crimes, including killings and torture of soldiers, prisoners and civilians.
Here in the Libyan capital, there is widespread fear that more is in store.

Guess who saw European special forces killing Libyans

Walter Fauntroy reports from Libya after fearing to be dead

Former U.S. Congressman Walter Fauntroy, who recently returned from a self-sanctioned peace mission to Libya, said he went into hiding for about a month in Libya after witnessing horrifying events in Libya's bloody civil war -- a war that Fauntroy claims is backed by European forces...

In an interview inside his Northwest D.C. home last week, the noted civil rights leader, told the Afro that he watched French and Danish troops storm small villages late at night beheading, maiming and killing rebels and loyalists to show them who was in control.

..."What the hell' I'm thinking to myself. I'm getting out of here. So I went in hiding," Fauntroy said...

..."The truth about all this will come out later," Fauntroy said.

..."Contrary to what is being reported in the press, from what I heard and observed, more than 90 percent of the Libyan people love Gaddafi," Fauntroy said. "We believe the true mission of the attacks on Gaddafi is to prevent all efforts by African leaders to stop the recolonization of Africa."

Finally some justice from the U.N. against Israel

The UN called the Israeli raid on the Gaza flotilla 'excessive,' the inquiry panel set up says Israel should pay compensation for 2010 attack on aid vessels but says the Gaza blockade is legal.

UN calls Israeli raid on flotilla 'excessive'
Aljazeera
September 1, 2011

A United Nations-mandated inquiry into a deadly Israeli raid on a Turkish-led aid flotilla to Gaza in 2010 says Israel's action was "excessive", according to extracts published Thursday by the New York Times.

The report, which has not yet been officially released amid a dispute between Israel and Turkey, says that Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip is legal, however.

Eight Turkish nationals and an American man of Turkish descent died in the May 31, 2010, raid.

"Israel's decision to board the vessels with such substantial force at a great distance from the blockade zone and with no final warning immediately prior to the boarding was excessive and unreasonable," the inquiry says.

Hamas, which controls Gaza, said the inquiry into the flotilla aid bound for Gaza was "unjust" and lacked balance.

'Acted recklessly'

The UN investigation into the events on the Turkish-flagged ship known as the Mavi Marmara, the largest of six vessels that were commandeered by Israeli commandos on May 31, 2010, was headed by Sir Geoffrey Palmer, a former prime minister of New Zealand, aided by Álvaro Uribe, the former Colombian president, along with a representative each from Israel and Turkey.

It said, however, that the six-vessel flotilla "acted recklessly in attempting to breach the naval blockade" set up by Israel around Gaza.

The inquiry called for Israel to make "an appropriate statement of regret" for the raid and pay compensation to the families of the dead as well as to injured victims.

Turkey and Israel should resume full diplomatic relations "repairing their relationship in the interests of stability in the Middle East," the report says.

Turkish demand

Turkey has demanded an apology from Israel for the raid, but Binyamin Netanyahu's government has refused several times to make such a gesture.

Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, told the Hurriyet daily: "If Israel does not apologise and does not declare a willingness to financially compensate the families of the dead and those injured, Turkey will
put in place certain sanctions."

Publication of the report has been delayed several times because of the diplomatic tensions between the two sides.

The report has not yet been handed over to Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, who is to decide the official publication date.

A UN spokesman said the report was expected to be handed over in the coming days.

Col. Gaddafi`s Speech: September 1, 2011

GADDAFI'S SPEECH 01.09.11. LIBYA: (translated)

Traitors can not be respected,they will be finished.
They work for colonizers, no one likes colonizers, it is impossible to accept a colonization, everyone will fight against traitors and their bosses.
There are too many problems between the traitors and NATO!

Libyans willl not surender and will not accept to be governed like animals. To many were martyred for our land to be free, we will not allow their deaths to be in vain! Keep going, keep fighting, don’t be afraid of them, each tribe should make their own checkpoints and should control their own territories, all the tribes are armed, keep fighting.
Destiny of Libyans will not be in the hands of some insignificant traitors!

NATO is afraid of Libyans, thats why they destroyed everything, bombed the phone lines, TV station, they thought that they will silence our voice,but they failed, we will fight them in every city and village, we are not afraid!

Colonizers used all kind of technology to try to silence my message to you. They are even afraid of my voice.. They know that if the Libyans hear my voice it will be dangerous for them and their traitor-servants, so they cut all the communication. They are afraid of our voice, which means that this is a weak colonialisation. If it was strong, then why did they cut our communication to silence the truth, why did they make you listen only their radios and TV channel, they want you to listen to their lies about the situation on the ground and to make you surender, they want you to be afraid of them, cause they are running out of money to continue the fight.

I will say it again, they are afraid of us, they are weak! NATO said that it is dangerous for them to leave our radios working , they know it’s dangerous for them if tribes called each other. We will not give Libya to France just like that, we will fight and make them spend... spend until they are gone. Nobody can control the tribes, they are all armed, Sirte, Sabha, Ben Walid, Tarhona , all this tribes are armed, no one can control them. I say, let the bullet speak.

Libyans will fight, we will fight very strongly, we won't give up!
Those traitors are cowards, they will run away.
Fight will go on and the traitors will surender because they don’t have enough people to support them, Libyan tribes will never surrender!

Continue fighting even if you don't hear my voice!

Details of Secret CIA Rendition Flights Exposed

Billing dispute reveals CIA rendition flights: report
CIA covert operation of rendition flights exposed by a little known court case in upstate NY -
N.Y. billing dispute reveals details of secret CIA rendition flights
by: Peter Finn & Julie Tate
August 31, 2011

On Aug. 12, 2003, a Gulfstream IV aircraft carrying six passengers took off from Dulles International Airport and flew to Bangkok with fueling stops in Cold Bay, Alaska, and Osaka, Japan.

Before it returned four days later, the plane also touched down in Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates and Ireland. As these unusual flights happened, U.S. officials took custody of an Indonesian terrorist, Riduan Isamuddin, who had been captured in Thailand and would spend the next three years being shuttled among secret prisons operated by the CIA.

The Gulfstream IV’s itinerary, as well as the $339,228.05 price tag for the journey, are among the details of shadowy CIA flights that have emerged in a small Upstate New York courthouse in a billing dispute between contractors. The court documents offer a rare glimpse of the costs and operations of the controversial rendition program.

For all the secrecy that once surrounded the CIA program, a significant part of its operation was entrusted to very small aviation companies whose previous experience involved flying sports teams across the country.

Attorneys for a London-based legal charity, Reprieve, which has been investigating the CIA program, discovered the Columbia County case and brought the court records to the attention of The Washington Post, the Associated Press and a British newspaper, the Guardian.

“This new evidence tells a chilling story, from the CIA’s efforts to disguise its illegal activities to the price it paid to ferry prisoners to torture chambers across the world,” said Cori Crider, Reprieve’s legal director. “If we are to avoid repeating our mistakes, we must have a full accounting of how this system was allowed to flourish under our very noses.”

The CIA declined to discuss the case. “The CIA does not, as a rule, comment on litigation, especially that to which we are not a party,” said spokeswoman Marie E. Harf...

Libya: War Against Africa
http://saleil.blogspot.com/2011/06/libya-war-against-africa.html

We can't allow another Iraq.

In the 1950's, Libya was the poorest country in the world. Before the NATO invasion, Libya had become the country with the best quality of life in all Africa thanks to Gaddafi. The people of Libya support Gaddafi, they love his leader, but the media machine of NATO makes us believe this is a revolution similar to Egypt. "We are fighting the bad guy" That is all you hear in mainstream news, but is far from being the truth. A few months before this invasion, Gaddafi announced he was implementing a new currency, alongside most African countries. This would mean Africa would stop selling resources in Dollars and Euros, and would also mean a new powerful currency would get into the market, allowing progress for 3rd world countries in Africa. This of course, is not convenient for the powerful millionaires of the west. AND MOST IMPORTANT. Libya is the country in all Africa with the highest OIL reserves, and the cost of producing a barrel of oil is 100 times more cheap than in the rest of the world. Gaddafi did not permit oil companies to mess with Libyan oil. The Libyan oil was for the Libyan people. He also did not allowed world banks into his country. All loans were issued by the Libyan government at 0% interest. The rebels have already made a deal with oil companies to let them loot Libyan resources, and also made deals to allow a central bank run by Rothschild Family to be implemented in the country. Rothschild Family is a group of bankers that own all western banks, and are estimated to own over half the worlds wealth.

Don't believe me? All the information is on the videos and articles on this description. And that's just a fragment, do your research, don't let the government fool you with mainstream media. Whatever you hear on mainstream media about this war is complete lies.

Spread the word, the Libyan people need you. We may have our differences but remember, we are all citizens of the same world.

We are anonymous

We are legion

We do not forgive

We do not forget

Expect us
