Corporate news blackout as Obama designates John Brennan as the sole person in charge of designating people to be assassinated.
John Brennan, Obama’s chief counterterrorism advisor was a name that you did not see on the Mainstream media today as the continue to run stories that serve to distract the masses from stories that matter.
Most recently he publicly spoke about the drone program calling it moral and ethical and just.
According to reports from the Associated Press, John Brennan has now seized the lead in choosing who will be targeted for drone attacks and raids and Obama has delegated him the sole authority to designate people for assassination under the United States top-secret assassination program.
Yes, if it such a secret program then why is the associated press running a story on it? Because it is only a “top-secret” matter of National Insecurity when the public and organizations such as the ACLU request more details on it than the propagandized reports the public is fed through the corporate media.
While this story deserves to have been put before the eyeballs of every U.S. citizens, it was merely a side note ran by the Associate Press that didn’t make corporate news headlines anywhere.
According to the AP, under the new plan, Brennan’s staff compiles the potential target list and runs the names past agencies such as the State Department at a weekly White House meeting.
At the same time ACLU lawsuits and requests for information about the decision-making process behind the government’s assassination program repeatedly get denied with the government claiming the programs are so top secret that they can neither confirm nor deny the programs even exist.

Try not to cross him on a bad day...
So this is what we end up with? A Czar?
We need reps from other branches of the government involved. Then some degree of disclosure of the decision process.
This can be done without compromising our ability to be effective.
And only a few years ago we were so upset about pouring water on someone’s face; because Dick Cheney may be involved.
Laughable now.
Sounds like GOD. He decides who lives and who dies. Maybe in 40 years there’ll be a World Court and he’ll be hanged.
The war on women - kicked up a notch.
“No Assassination Without Representation!”
Can you imagine what the media would say if Bush had done this?

Right?
Sorry - not from the Onion
BRILLIANT !
Your ping only went to army air corps
It’s also pretty laughable that, back in the 70’s, we reined in all the intelligence agencies for doing stuff like this. They operated at the discretion of the President, but they still, even before the oversight committees, had less independance than these “czars”.
Here’s a scary scenario. A talk show host who is hated by the administration walks from his house to his car and is hit by a bullet. The official investigation finds it was a stray bullet and was not intended for the victim. When in reality it came from a drone.
The list, Ping

The Twilight Zone.
Another gutsy call by the pretender backed up of course by a CYO memo blaming the “Ax” and Val if it backfires.
