Can one dead man implicate another in a crime? Apparently so, because that is what US investigators in the case of Tamerlan Tsarnayev are now trying to make us believe. Media have recently reported that alleged Boston bomber Tsarnaev, who was shot dead in police pursuit, has been named by prosecutors as participant in a 2011 triple murder. The evidence of that? The alleged confessions made by another Chechen man, whom FBI agents handily gunned down in his Orlando home during a Boston-linked investigation.

Germany sees credible evidence of US monitoring of chancellor as NSA surveillance row intensifies. ● The furore over the scale of American mass surveillance revealed by Edward Snowden shifted to an incendiary new level on Wednesday evening when Angela Merkel of Germany called Barack Obama to demand explanations over reports that the US National Security Agency was monitoring her mobile phone. Merkel was said by informed sources in Germany to be "livid" over the reports and convinced, on the basis of a German intelligence investigation, that the reports were utterly substantiated. The German news weekly, Der Spiegel, reported an investigation by German intelligence, prompted by research from the magazine, that produced plausible information that Merkel's mobile was targeted by the US eavesdropping agency. The German chancellor found the evidence substantial enough to call the White House and demand clarification. ● The outrage in Berlin came days after President François Hollande of France also called the White House to confront Obama with reports that the NSA was targeting the private phone calls and text messages of millions of French people.

Members of the European Parliament (EP) have voted to suspend a security agreement with the United States, amid growing concerns over US spying activities against Europe. ● “The EU should suspend its Terrorist Finance Tracking Program (TFTP) agreement with the US in response to the US National Security Agency’s alleged tapping of EU citizens’ bank data held by the Belgian company SWIFT,” read a resolution passed by the EP on Wednesday by 280 votes to 254 and 30 abstentions. While the resolution is non-binding, the EP stressed that it “will take account of the European Commission’s response to this demand when considering whether to give its consent to future international agreements.” In 2010, the European Union and the United States agreed on the TFTP, which allowed the US limited access to the global financial database SWIFT as part of an anti-terrorism campaign. The Wednesday vote came, however, after revelations by former American intelligence contractor Edward Snowden that the United States was using the access to spy on Europe instead of using it for counterterrorism purposes.

The National Security Agency monitored nearly 125 billion phone calls in just one month, according to a number of new reports. ● And while the majority of calls reportedly originated in the Middle East, an estimated 3 billion of the calls originated in the U.S. According to a collection of the reports and leaked classified government files, the monitored calls took place throughout the month of January 2013 and tallied to 124.8 billion. Cryptome, a site that posts government and corporate documents, combined the various documents and says the largest share of calls originated in Afghanistan (21.98 billion) and Pakistan (12.76 billion). Elsewhere in the Middle East, billions of calls were monitored in Iraq (7.8 billion), Saudi Arabia (7.8 billion), Egypt (1.9 billion), Iran (1.73 billion) and Jordan (1.6 billion).

Pay gaps within companies widen as top two earners, led by Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, earn billion-dollar paychecks. ● Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's co-founder, was America's highest-paid boss in 2012, according to GMI Ratings annual poll of executive compensation, released on Tuesday. Zuckerberg's total compensation topped $2.27bn – more than $6m a day. His base salary was $503,205 but the vast majority of his enormous pay package came from exercising 60m Facebook share options when the company went public last year. ● Richard Kinder, the CEO and chairman of energy firm Kinder Morgan, had a base salary of just $1 in 2012 and received no other bonuses. But he made $1.1bn selling restricted stock. The payout follows a nearly $60m profit from stock in 2011. ● Half of the top 10 are company founders. The rest are appointed executives. The no 3 slot really belongs to Gregory Maffei, who appears twice in the list as CEO of Liberty Media and Liberty Interactive. He reaped a combined $391m from the two posts.

Andre Damon: Top ten American CEOs take home over $100 million each ■ Even as the wages of working people sink, the incomes of the super-rich continue to soar, buttressed by a surging stock market driven by massive cash infusions from the Federal Reserve. ● The widening chasm separating the rich and the super-rich from everyone else is bound up with the decay of the productive infrastructure of American capitalism and the growing role of financial speculation. A recent study published in the American Economic Review found that between 1982 and 2011, the portion of the Forbes 400 who received their wealth from finance rose dramatically—from 4.4 percent to 20 percent. The income of a typical household in the United States has fallen to the lowest level since 1989, while poverty is at the highest level in decades, according to a report issued by the US Census Bureau last month. Since 1999, the median household income has fallen by nearly ten percent, adjusted for inflation. Poverty and social misery are reaching epidemic levels.

Two sheriff’s deputies shot and killed a 13-year-old boy carrying a replica assault rifle -- who they say wouldn’t drop it -- prompting outrage and grief in the typically quiet Northern California city of Santa Rosa.
● The Sonoma County deputies on patrol saw the boy, identified as Andy Lopez, walking in a blue hoodie with what appeared to be a rifle at 3:14 p.m. Tuesday, Sheriff's Lt. Dennis O'Leary said in a statement. The replica gun resembled an AK-47 with a black magazine cartridge and brown butt, according to a photograph the sheriff released. It did not have the traditionally orange tip of a replica firearm. There is a photo of the fake gun and a real AK47 posted below.
● Andy, an eighth-grade student who played trumpet in his school band, was described as a bright and popular student, liked by many in his community, including Lawrence Cook Middle School assistant principal Linsey Gannon. "Andy was a very loved student, a very popular, very handsome young man, very smart and capable," Gannon said Wednesday. "Our community has been rocked by his loss." The boy's mother said she thinks the people who killed her son should be locked up in jail.

"MJ Rosenberg owes Ali Abunimah an apology for false accusations of anti-Semitism". When you consider that:

● all gentiles are Jew-haters for some magical reason that cannot be explained; and
● anybody who fails to accept with gratitude the entire Zionist plan for a Jewish empire extending from the Nile to the Euphrates is, by definition, an anti-Semite,

you can immediately see that an apology would be ridiculous. The fault lies entirely with those appeasers who bend themselves into pretzel shapes in a a vain attempt to be 'respectable gentiles' worthy of being invited to nice lunches and conferences with the Jews to agree to the Jewish plans. Once you accept the Jewish world-view by bending your language in a way you hope will please your Jewish masters, an impossible task - all the while fooling yourself by claiming that your fine distinctions between 'anti-Semitic' speech and kosher speech are an attempt to avoid bigotry when they are really just your method of expressing fealty to the powerful - it is impossible to stand on your own two feet long enough to be able to put up any resistance to the Jewish plans. It is no wonder the Jews have been so successful in building their empire when all their supposed opponents have accepted their Zionist view of the world. The only apology owing is from Ali Abunimah and his ilk to Gilad Atzmon.

And here's the same critical section from the BDS website (Freedom, justice, equality) as it is now:
