for those for your request we wouldn't even know about the extent of the pentagon already ramped up on line surveillance with none the wiser what's perhaps the most ironic in this recent revelation. you know even so vocal about the dangers implication of cispa passing when the worst of the bill has already been practiced entirely in secret but i guess that's the obama administration's imo violate our rights first codified those violations into law second. amidst last week's barrage of violence and tragedy all eyes are on the media for breaking news one such story from the associated press is official twitter account one o seven pm on april twenty third tweeted the following disturbing news said bricky two explosions in the white house and brock obama is injured while thousands of retreats instantly followed only find out minutes later that the report was completely false and he revealed that their account had been hacked in the quick redact of the story but not quickly enough for the economy to take a hit check this out the dow jones which was up suddenly plummeted within just two m

cooperation with the pentagon to stir up islamic radical terrorism specifically in the north caucasus region and the surrounding area as a type of threat directed at russia and of course that china is well sitting right there on russia's doorstep so i think we have to see this in that context and as a potential larger geopolitical threat to russia. and expect that anyone will claim responsibility for that any time soon. i don't know if that will be coming but at any rate as we know of course these bombings are linked as we can tell that from the forensic evidence of the bombs themselves and that the types of agents that were added to them so there's no doubt that this is a part of a terror message that's being delivered to russia right now and of course the fact that the sochi olympics are right around the corner is obviously a key component of that message. james holmes and so they depend on websites the colbert report mr corbett thank you very much indeed you're welcome. russia's president has ordered a tightening of security across the entire country following the bombings. in central mos
