U.S. warns about Canadian spy coins

WASHINGTON -- Money talks, but can it also follow your movements?

In a U.S. government warning high on the creepiness scale, the Defense Department cautioned its American contractors over what it described as a new espionage threat: Canadian coins with tiny radio frequency transmitters hidden inside.

The government said the mysterious coins were found planted on U.S. contractors with classified security clearances on at least three separate occasions between October 2005 and January 2006 as the contractors traveled through Canada.

Intelligence and technology experts said such transmitters, if they exist, could be used to surreptitiously track the movements of people carrying the spy coins.

The U.S. report doesn't suggest who might be tracking American defense contractors or why. It also doesn't describe how the Pentagon discovered the ruse, how the transmitters might function or even which Canadian currency contained them.

Further details were secret, according to the U.S. Defense Security Service, which issued the warning to the Pentagon's classified contractors. The government insists the incidents happened, and the risk was genuine.

"What's in the report is true," said Martha Deutscher, a spokeswoman for the security service. "This is indeed a sanitized version, which leaves a lot of questions."

Top suspects, according to outside experts: China, Russia or even France -- all said to actively run espionage operations inside Canada with enough sophistication to produce such technology.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service said it knew nothing about the coins.

"This issue has just come to our attention," CSIS spokeswoman Barbara Campion said. "At this point, we don't know of any basis for these claims." She said Canada's intelligence service works closely with its U.S. counterparts and will seek more information if necessary.

Experts were astonished about the disclosure and the novel tracking technique, but they rejected suggestions Canada's government might be spying on American contractors. The intelligence services of the two countries are extraordinarily close and routinely share sensitive secrets.

"It would seem unthinkable," said David Harris, former chief of strategic planning for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. "I wouldn't expect to see any offensive operation against the Americans."

Harris said likely candidates include foreign spies who targeted Americans abroad or businesses engaged in corporate espionage. "There are certainly a lot of mysterious aspects to this," Harris said.

Experts said such tiny transmitters would almost certainly have limited range to communicate with sensors no more than a few feet away, such as ones hidden inside a doorway. The metal in the coins also could interfere with any signals emitted.

"I'm not aware of any (transmitter) that would fit inside a coin and broadcast for kilometers," said Katherine Albrecht, an activist who believes such technology carries serious privacy risks. "Whoever did this obviously has access to some pretty advanced technology."

Experts said hiding tracking technology inside coins is fraught with risks because the spy's target might inadvertently give away the coin or spend it buying coffee or a newspaper. They agreed, however, that a coin with a hidden tracking device might not arouse suspicion if it were discovered in a pocket or briefcase.

"It wouldn't seem to be the best place to put something like that; you'd want to put it in something that wouldn't be left behind or spent," said Jeff Richelson, a researcher and author of books about the CIA and its gadgets. "It doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense."

Canada's largest coins include its $2 "Toonie," which is more than 1-inch across and thick enough to hide a tiny transmitter. The CIA has acknowledged its own spies have used hollow, U.S. silver-dollar coins to hide messages and film.

The government's 29-page report was filled with other espionage warnings. It described unrelated hacker attacks, eavesdropping with miniature pen recorders and the case of a female foreign spy who seduced her American boyfriend to steal his computer passwords.

In another case, a film processing company called the FBI after it developed pictures for a contractor that contained classified images of U.S. satellites and their blueprints. The photo was taken from an adjoining office window.

Just passing, the best comet for 32 years

This is the spectacular view of the brightest comet for 32 years. And suitably for a phenomenon once seen as a portent of doom, it was spotted over World's End.

Comet McNaught, which is set to shine brighter than the planet Venus this weekend, was caught on camera at sunset when it is at its best.

The newly discovered comet, first observed in Australia last August, is three times more dazzling than Hale-Bopp in 1997.

It is officially the brightest since Comet West in 1975.

Tomorrow the star will sweep within 15.8 million miles of the sun and continue glowing until Monday.

It is visible to the right of Venus soon after sunset and also in the dawn sky to the south-east.

"Make an effort even if the weather prospects look poor," said Nick James of the British Astronomical Association.

"You will need a clear western horizon and should start looking as soon as the sun sets. The comet should be obvious and the tail will be pointing almost straight up from the horizon."

Scotsman Robert McNaught discovered the comet - his 31st - at Siding Spring Observatory in New South Wales.

Its orbit is bringing it closer to the sun than Mercury.

Kelly Osbourne Would Bare All for Playboy

Kelly Osbourne wants to pose nude in Playboy magazine. The rock heiress is prepared to bare absolutely everything for a centerfold in the men's publication - but would insist editors touch her up to make her look better.

She says, "I'd go fully nude, but I'd have to have some airbrushing on my tits."

Meanwhile, she blames her privileged lifestyle for her substance abuse and depression because luxury living brings about extreme boredom.The 22-year-old has successfully overcome her demons following several spells in rehab - but is always on the lookout for the signs of a relapse.

She says, "It's so easy for me to fall back into depression. I think it comes with having money. I don't have to work. I could be sitting bored and depressed at home with a bag on my head."

<shudder...> No thanks, Kelly.

The edit process to make her look better could take years, maybe they can airbrush a new face on her while they are at it.

Hef: Maybe you could move the camera back to help make her look better? Photographer: How far? Hef: How about Cleveland?

Kids kicked off a bus for speaking English

Imagine sending your kids off to school, but when they get to the bus they are told they can't get on because they speak English.

That's right, English.

It happened to a few children in St. Paul and now the school district is apologizing.

Rachel Armstrong sent her kids to pick up the bus as usual Monday, but after the driver let the kids on, he told them he would not pick them up again. He even said he wouldn't take them home that afternoon.

Armstrong left work early Tuesday, forced to pick up her kids from Phalen Lake Elementary School.

Her twin girls, 10, and her son, 8, were kicked off their regular school bus. They were told by the bus driver the route is for non-English speaking students only.

"I was furious. I was at work and I was just mad." Armstrong said. "I felt like we were being discriminated because we speak English. Just because they speak English, they can't ride the school bus. I mean, this is America, right?"

Administrators at St. Paul Public Schools admit the district made a mistake when it stranded the kids at school Monday.

However, the district points out, that particular bus route serves one of three language academies. The one at Phalen Lake is for Hmong students learning English.

The academies all have separate bus routes to keep its students together.

The district decided to enforce the separate routes beginning Monday, but it did not tell the Armstrong family.

"It is our responsibility to ensure the safety of these kids and we made a mistake. The kids should have gotten home that day," Dayna Kennedy, public relations representative.

The district also discovered the Armstrongs no longer live in the Phalen Lake School boundary because they moved last year.

So even thought the district apologized, if they want to still go to Phalen, they are going to have to get their own ride.

Kids kicked off a bus for speaking English

I could understand if this were private busses to private schools, but this is public busses to public schools.

Can you say "separate but equal"? And wasn't that declared unconstitutional by the Supremes, once upon a when?

You can't get more outrageous and insane than this crap.  And notice the "American Civil Liberties Union" is nowhere to be found.

Russians turn off Europe's oil supply

• Alarm at Moscow's strong-arm tactics

• Merkel tells The Times 'we need secure energy'

Europe’s oil supplies from Russia were being held to ransom last night as the Kremlin fell into bitter dispute with a former Soviet satellite state.

Moscow abruptly halted millions of barrels of oil destined for the EU via Belarus in an increasingly hostile wrangle with its neighbor.

The move raised further questions over whether Western Europe can trust Mr Putin for its energy supply. Experts said that Russia had a deeply entrenched habit of manipulating oil and gas supplies as a substitute for diplomatic policy.

Russia’s strong-arm tactics have added resonance in Britain, amid persistent speculation that Gazprom, the Kremlin-controlled gas group, will seek to buy Centrica, the British Gas group, which has 16 million gas and electricity customers in the UK. Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, told The Times last night that Germany will use its six-month EU presidency to improve energy security on the Continent. In her first interview with a British newspaper she signalled that she would take a harsher line towards Russia than her predecessor, Gerhard Schröder, who is now on the board of a German-Russian consortium constructing a gas pipeline linking Russian gasfields with Western Europe.

“For us, energy is what coal and steel used to be,” she said, referring to the driving forces behind the European project.

Russia’s “gas war” with Ukraine last January caused supplies to Europe to drop briefly by a third during one of the coldest winters recorded. In this case, Mr Putin’s struggle with President Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, branded “Europe’s last dictator” by the US, once again reduced the EU to watching nervously from the sidelines as its energy supplies were hit.

Belarus considered itself Moscow’s closest ally until a week ago, but was on the verge of a trade war last night after the bitter flare-up over oil duties. More than 1.2 million barrels of oil a day flow from Russia through the Druzhba, or Friendship, pipeline, providing almost a quarter of Germany’s needs and 96 per cent of Poland’s imports, as well as supplies to Ukraine, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Andrei Sharonov, Russia’s Deputy Trade and Economic Development Minister, accused Belarus of jeopardising contracts with European customers by imposing a tax on oil passing through the pipeline. Relations between the two countries have soured rapidly since New Year’s Eve, when Belarus and Russia’s state-run monopoly Gazprom came within minutes of failing to agree a gas contract for 2007.

The Government in Minsk was forced to accept a doubling of gas prices to prevent supplies from being cut to its ten million citizens.

The oil dispute centres on a tit-for-tat row over taxes. Minsk introduced a penalty on January 1 on Russian oil crossing Belarus to Europe, in retaliation against Moscow’s decision to slap a duty on oil it sold to Belarus. A government delegation from Belarus flew to Moscow last night to try to negotiate a settlement. But Mr Sharonov said that there would be no talks until Minsk cancelled its tax. Europe should expect to see the natural resources giant use the same ploy in the future to extract market prices for oil and gas out of former Soviet states, experts said.

Andris Piebalgs, the EU Energy Commissioner, said that he was seeking an “urgent and detailed explanation” about the cut in oil deliveries.

UK Times ~ Tony Halpin, Christine Seib, Roger Boyes ** Russians turn off Europe's oil supply

Has France surrendered yet?

I see that the mobsters of Moscow have stepped their crimes up to include extortion of nations and not just individuals now. And I just knew this had to be our fault somehow... If only we hadn't antaganized him with our vicious words. Maybe the EU could sell their soul to Iran, like they did with Saddam... Oh wait -- in order to sell your soul, one must have a soul, to begin with.

I liked this excerpt:
Russia’s "gas war" with Ukraine last January caused supplies to Europe to drop briefly by a third during one of the coldest winters recorded.
Wait a minute, all I've heard is how hot it is getting because of global warming. How can this be? One of the coldest winters RECORDED?

And I love how they're playing games holding oil ransom while our dimocrats are trying to make sure we don't become energy independent. Mustn't drill in ANWR. Gotta work to make no drilling there permanent. Instead of learning from the EU's mistakes, the dims want to make the same ones.

Donnelly, Freshman Democrats Tell Pelosi to Stick to the Center

Representative Joe Donnelly, a freshman Democrat from Indiana, has a blunt message for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: Stick to a "middle-of-the-road agenda'' or their party's control of Congress may last just two years.

If Pelosi "goes too far one way or another, we're not coming back,'' Donnelly says. He sees his party's victory in the November elections as less an endorsement of its agenda than a rejection of Republican rule: "People just got real tired of this bunch, and they fired them.''

Donnelly's view reflects those of many of the 30 House Democrats elected in districts previously held by Republicans. Their fragile hold on their seats means they'll be pushing their new speaker, who represents heavily Democratic San Francisco, to limit confrontations with President George W. Bush and the Republicans over taxes, the war in Iraq, stem-cell research and abortion.

"Pelosi needs to show she can govern,'' says James Thurber, a professor at American University in Washington who specializes on Congress and the presidency. To pass her agenda, Pelosi must build coalitions with lawmakers, "especially those from moderate districts'' such as Donnelly's, he says.

Democrats hold 233 seats in the House, while Republicans have 202. In the Senate, Democrats hold only 51 of the 100 seats -- and one Democrat, Tim Johnson of South Dakota, remains hospitalized after brain surgery.

Medicare and Minimum Wage
Donnelly, 51, says he likes most of the legislation Pelosi is trying to push through in the first 100 hours of Democratic control of the House, including an increase in the minimum wage and a plan to allow Medicare to negotiate the cost of drugs with pharmaceutical companies, both scheduled for votes this week.

It may be more difficult for him to support other parts of the party's agenda. Donnelly, a practicing Catholic, opposes abortion and is also against federal funding stem-cell research that uses human embryos, which most Democrats back.

He also may clash with the Democratic leadership over how to handle the war in Iraq. While he describes the war as a "disaster,'' he says he doesn't support the fixed timetable for withdrawal proposed by Pennsylvania Democrat John Murtha that Pelosi, 66, has endorsed. Instead, like Bush, he opposes any withdrawal until Iraq is "stabilized.''

"My goal is to help the president,'' he said in an interview. "I am not going to rip him to shreds. If he does a better job, then our soldiers can be more successful, Iraq can be stabilized and our troops can come home.''

First Test
A first test may come this week when Bush announces a change in strategy in Iraq, which may include a plan to send more troops. Last week, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said in a letter to Bush that they oppose a troop increase.

Donnelly, a lawyer, represents an industrial district that backed Bush in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. He lost his first bid for Congress in 2004; in November, he defeated his opponent, two-term incumbent Chris Chocola, with 54 percent of the vote -- an upset Donnelly says was largely due to the national wave of voter dissatisfaction with Republican mismanagement of Congress and Bush's policies.

Next year's elections may be more difficult for Donnelly and other Democrats who won in Republican-leaning districts, says Michael Genovese, chairman of the Institute for Leadership Studies at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. An attractive Republican presidential candidate in 2008 might draw back some of the Republican voters who switched in 2006, he says: "That's what the Democrats fear and the Republicans hope.''

Preparing for 2008
Democratic leaders have already taken steps to help lawmakers from these districts prepare for 2008. Almost immediately after the Nov. 7 elections -- and before the freshmen lawmakers had even arrived in Washington -- the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee established a re- election program for new members. The program includes coaching on fund-raising and constituent outreach, says the DCCC's chairman, Representative Chris Van Hollen of Maryland.

"We fully recognize that in districts where Republican presidential candidates have won majorities in the past, the Republicans will try to target our members,'' Van Hollen says.

Tom Gallagher, a senior managing director at the International Strategy & Investment Group Inc. in Washington, says 60 House Democrats represent districts carried by Bush in 2004, while only eight Republicans represent districts carried by Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee.

High-Profile Committees
To increase their re-election chances, some freshmen have been given seats on high-profile committees, positions that increase a lawmaker's appeal to donors.

Donnelly, for example, will serve on the Financial Services Committee, which regulates commercial banks, insurance companies and securities and investment firms. In the 2006 election cycle, committee members received an average of about $180,000 in campaign contributions from the financial-services industry, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based group that tracks campaign giving.

Watching Pelosi take the Speaker's gavel on Thursday was a jubilant moment for Donnelly. Sitting with his fellow freshmen congressmen in the chamber, Donnelly noticed actor Richard Gere and singer Carole King sitting together in the gallery and waved to his son Joe Jr., also in the gallery, to point them out.

Donnelly cast his first vote on Jan. 4 to elect Pelosi as House speaker. He then supported rules changes to ban gifts from lobbyists and identify lawmakers who originate requests for pet spending projects, known as "earmarks.''

With the House in session only two days, Donnelly has a 100 percent record of voting with his party. Still, the lawmaker says, he is determined to try to find common ground with Republicans.

Last week, he signed up with the "Blue Dog'' Democrats, a group of 44 self-described conservative lawmakers who support balanced budgets and less business regulation and are open to accommodation with moderate Republicans.

"I want to represent Democrats and Republicans,'' he says. "I am going to hit the ball down the middle.''

I'm sure that Puglosi told them where they stand on the food chain. Once a Libtard, always a Libtard. I think this will be the last we here from poor Donnelly. You don't sting the queen bee and get away with it. Especially in a party as petty and socialism obsessed as the demented-crat party.

Georgia high court upholds ID theft conviction of immigrant

ATLANTA -- The Georgia Supreme Court has upheld the identity fraud conviction of an illegal immigrant from Mexico who used the name and Social Security number of a Georgia man to get a job at a poultry plant.

In a unanimous decision released Monday, the justices said Georgia's identity theft law is not unconstitutionally vague, nor is it pre-empted by federal law.

The high court found that Nohe Gomes Hernandez "misappropriated the Social Security number of Jason Smith,'' and that he "then used this misappropriated number to obtain a Social Security card and a California driver's license in Smith's name'' so he could get a job at a northeast Georgia poultry plant.

Hernandez was sentenced in April to two years in prison after a jury found him guilty of violating the ID theft law.

Hernandez' attorney had argued that Hernandez' actions were not covered by the state law, which was created to keep people from stealing others' personal information and using it to pillage bank accounts or run up credit card bills. The defense contended that Hernandez did not take any money or resources from Smith.

Authorities learned about the case when the real Jason Smith, from Danielsville, Ga., applied for a $600 tax refund, but the Internal Revenue Service said he owed $12,000 in back taxes.

When Smith inquired further, he found that the IRS had him working two jobs, including the Harrison Poultry plant, where he never worked.

Pa. Man Gets Letter Postmarked 1954

Ferndale, Pa. -- A western Pennsylvania man is trying to solve a mystery that recently landed in his mailbox: a letter mailed more than 50 years ago and addressed to a Frederick Zane Yost.

The letter, with a 3-cent stamp and postmarked Oct. 26, 1954, was encased in a large Postal Service window envelope. There is a return address -- in nearby Richland Township -- but no sender's name.

Brian McAteer said that the letter appears to be sealed and has not been damaged, and that he will not open it. However, he hasn't had any luck finding Yost. Among his efforts have been to contact Yosts in the area, speak with longtime residents and search on the Internet.

"I haven't given up trying to find him," McAteer, a road foreman, told the Tribune-Democrat of Johnstown.

The newspaper reported that its archives show Yost's parents, both of whom are dead, lived in Ferndale in 1954. His father was a sports editor at the newspaper, which reported that the younger Yost had moved to Florida.

Tad Kelley, a spokesman for the Postal Service in Pittsburgh, said he could not comment specifically on the letter without investigating.

"Sometimes pieces of mail do get lost behind equipment or transporting equipment. ... It is infrequent, but every once in a blue moon, it does happen," Kelley said. "No matter how old it is, we will deliver it."

Ferndale is about 65 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

Anti materialist libtard wants free computer

This is an actual ad on Craigslist in Portland, Oregon.

Anti-Corporate, Pro-Peace revolutionary needs laptop
Reply to: sale-258633691@craigslist.org

Hello. I am a homeless political advocate who, sadly, needs a laptop replaced to continue my work on spreading the message of anti-corporation, anti-profit and greed, anti-machine materialism as perpetrated by American terrorists. I am an ex-computer science student with web and network skills trying to work with and spread a message of peace amongst religious buddhists, ecologically aware vegetarians, and any and all spiritual advocates with a message of peace and anti-materialism. I work actively in bringing insight and donations to spiritual communities such as buddhist monasteries, communes, and intentional communities.

Recently, I was hassled by American police force terrorists, my laptop confiscated and its data destroyed, simply because it failed to comply with their policy of profit, materialism, and genocide.

If you have a cheap, spare laptop lying around, something near an old pentium 3 or 4 that is not being used, I would greatly appreciate the donation to continue my work. Any type of laptop at all would be of great benefit to me."

The Craigslist posting is here.

You can email the bone idle lazy fart at this address if you care to rattle his cage. I'm sure you can have quite a discussion about his hypocricy in being anti-materialistic but desiring a computer.

Do it quickly as he will get flagged of real fast. Even Liberal Portland will dump this moron in short order. Oops, he's already been flagged. Those damn corporate, greedy, materialistic Craigslist users! Fascist terrorists!

Does he have money to pay for internet access? Maybe he loiters in a wi-fi community.

It's like when people go on TV to decry TV... Badmouthing the rich at a thousand dollar dinner. Or like when Tim Robbins got up to a microphone to explain how Bush was shutting down free speech. Or anything else the libtard activists have done in the last twenty years.

In reading this, I laughed as hard as I usually do when I see "anarchists" in chat, on a computer (running in perfect digital order.)

The Demented-crats' promise: "A New Direction For America"

The stock market is at a new all-time high and America's 401Ks are back. A new direction from there means, what?

Unemployment is at 25-year lows. A new direction from there means, what?

Oil prices are plummeting. A new direction from there means, what?

Taxes are at 20-year lows. A new direction from there means, what?

Federal tax revenues are at all-time highs. A new direction from there means, what?

The Federal deficit is down almost 50%, just as predicted over last year. A new direction from there means, what?

Home valuations are up 200% over the past 3.5 years. A new direction from there means, what?

Inflation is in check, hovering at 20-year lows. A new direction from there means, what?

Not a single terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11/01. A new direction from there means, what?

Osama bin Laden is living under a rock in a dark cave, having not surfaced in years, if he's alive at all, while 95% of Al Queda's top dogs are either dead or in custody, cooperating with US Intel. A new direction from there means, what?

Several major terrorist attacks already thwarted by US and British Intel, including the recent planned attack involving 10 Jumbo Jets being exploded in mid-air over major US cities in order to celebrate the anniversary of the 9/11/01 attacks. A new direction from there means, what?

Just as President Bush foretold us on a number of occasions, Iraq was to be made "ground zero" for the war on terrorism -- and just as President Bush said they would, terrorist cells from all over the region are arriving from the shadows of their hiding places and flooding into Iraq in order to get their faces blown off by US Marines rather than boarding planes and heading to the United States to wage war on us here. A new direction from there means, what?

Now let me see, do I have this right? I can expect:

The economy to go South
Illegals to go North
Taxes to go Up
Employment to go Down
Terrorism to come In
Tax breaks to go Out
Social Security to go Away
Health Care to go the same way gas prices have gone
But what the heck!

I can gain comfort by knowing that Nancy "Nambla" Puglosi, Shrillary Clintax, Lurch Heinz Kerry, Sled "The Swimmer" Kennedy, Coward Deanpeace, Harry Greid, and Barack "Osama-Hussein" Obama have worked hard to create a comprehensive National Security Plan, Health Care Plan, Immigration Reform Plan, Gay Rights Plan, Same Sex Marriage Plan, Abortion On Demand Plan, Tolerance of Everyone and Everything Plan, How to Return all Troops to the U. S. in The Next Six Months Plan, A Get Tough Plan, adapted from the French Plan by the same name and a How Everyone Can Become as Wealthy as We Are Plan.

I forgot the No More Katrina Storm Plan,
Barney Frank accuses Bush of 'ethnic cleansing' in U.S., scolds 'policy' of inaction

And their "Energy Independence" plan...
Dems push for Alaska drilling ban, Show their impatience with reasonable pump prices

Now I know why I feel good after the elections. I'm going to be able to sleep so much better at night knowing these dedicated politicians are thinking of me and my welfare.

Because story after story like this are getting "old"...
