HAVANA (AP) — Cuban and U.S. representatives are set to meet in Havana for a new round of restarted migration talks on Thursday, a signal of the longtime Cold War foes’ recent willingness to engage in areas of mutual interest but unlikely to be a harbinger of a major thaw in relations. . . .

WASHINGTON — We’ve yet to see the full impact of former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden’s unauthorized downloading of highly classified intelligence documents.
Among the roughly 1.7 million documents he walked away with — the vast majority of which have not been made public — are highly sensitive, specific intelligence reports, as well as current and historic requirements the White House has given the agency to guide its collection activities, according to a senior government official with knowledge of the situation.
The latter category involves about 2,000 unique taskings that can run to 20 pages each and give reasons for selective targeting to NSA collectors and analysts. These orders alone may run 31,500 pages. . . . Read Complete Report

The first commercial passenger flight from Key West to Cuba in more than 50 years has landed in Havana, capping several years of efforts to reunite the two islands, though regular air service still appeared a distant prospect.
US Customs and Border Protection gave the final approval for the flight on Monday morning, and the nine-passenger aircraft departed 90 minutes later at 10am, Key West International Airport director Peter Horton said. . . . Read Complete Report

A new report called, “The Dating Game: How Confusing Food Date Labels Lead to Food Waste in America,” describes our expiration-date labeling system here in the US as convoluted, confusing, inconsistent, ineffective, disorienting, ambiguous, and dizzying. It doesn’t think much of the system, in other words.The Resident (aka Lori Harfenist) discusses.

Executive Summary
The waste of edible food by consumers, retailers, and manufacturers poses a
significant burden to the American food system. Wasted food costs consumers
and industry money; squanders important natural resources that are used to
grow, process, distribute, and store America’s food supply; and represents a missed opportunity to feed the millions of food insecure households in the United States that are struggling to access healthy, affordable food. Misinterpretation of the date labels on foods is a key factor leading to this waste. . . . Read Complete Report

The Elusive WMD
George Bush: “They are over there!” Colin Powell “No, they are over there!” Obama “Over There!!”
According to our rogue government leaders WMD ARE EVERYWHERE!
To hell with it…. lets just attack them all. The WMD have to be somewhere. After all the CIA and other U.S. three-letter groups gave them the ingredients to create them, the technology to manufacture them; then taught them how to build them. WMD don’t just disappear . . .EDITOR

Description: This week Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh challenged the Obama administration’s official narrative on the September chemical weapons attack near Damascus, with a report alleging the White House “cherry-picked” intelligence to justify a military strike against Bashar al-Assad’s government. Both the New Yorker and the Washington Post rejected Hersh’s reported, suggesting that the mainstream media still hasn’t learned from the mistakes it made 10 years ago when faulty intelligence was used to go to war in Iraq. RT’s Sam Sacks reports.

Billions of dollars annually are being used to fund operations conducted by the United States intelligence community, the likes of which allow the government to eavesdrop on emails, listen to world leaders’ phone calls and about everything in-between.
One thing that budget hasn’t bought, however, is subtlety. The US NationalReconnaissance Office launched a top-secret surveillance satellite into space Thursday evening, and the official emblem for the spy agency’s latest mission is, well, certainly accurate, to say the least. . . .

As Edward Snowden flees from the United States, he’s found sympathetic governments around the world to assist in his flight to asylum.
