Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

A surveillance system that uses 2,000 remote-control cameras and motion-sensing software to spot crimes or terrorist acts as they happen is being planned for the city
If that sounds a little like Big Brother is watching, he might be.

"Cameras are the equivalent of hundreds of sets of eyes," Mayor Richard Daley said Thursday. "They are the next best thing to having police officers stationed at every potential trouble spot."

The system would exceed existing projects in how it would tie cameras to emergency operations, said Ron Huberman, executive director of the city's Office of Emergency Management.

Neither the courts nor the American Civil Liberties Union (news - web sites) have objected to cameras in public places, saying there is no expectation of privacy on a city street.

"We live in a video world," said Ed Yohnka of the ACLU of Illinois.

The high-definition, motorized cameras can rotate 360 degrees and include night-vision capability. They will be mounted on buildings and utility poles across the city.

Most are already in use - 30 by the police department and 1,000 at O'Hare International Airport. Other cameras are on elevated train platforms and the city's 600 schools. An additional 250 cameras yet to be installed will raise the number to more than 2,000.

The city is also considering allowing private companies to join the network, for a fee. Officials said the system size is nearly limitless.

The linchpin in the network - paid for with a $5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and scheduled to be up by March 2006 - is software designed to detect "suspicious" activity.

For instance, if someone left a suitcase in a stairwell, the software would engage any camera within range and alert a worker at the emergency operations center. It would do the same if an individual rushed up to another and dragged him away. A series of cameras could track fleeing criminals, and 911 operators would be able to give police descriptions of suspects.

Huberman said the cameras will also allow city departments to be more vigilant. Public works will be able to spot a broken water main instantly or the transportation department can see traffic jams developing.

"It really adds a whole new tool to public safety," Huberman said. "It gives us a tremendous early warning and detection capacity."

Chicago is the first U.S. city to install such a network.

Officials here said they studied systems used by Las Vegas hotels and casinos, as well as the Pentagon (news - web sites) and the city of London, where it's said that the average resident is viewed by 300 cameras a day.

Baltimore is trying to build a network with around-the-clock surveillance cameras. Other cities have used them during big events.

Police in Tampa tried the cameras, using a mug shot database and facial recognition software to identify criminals on the street. It abandoned the effort after two years because it never identified a wanted criminal.

Huberman said Chicago considered face-recognition technology but rejected it as inefficient and immature. But, he said, it's a possibility in the future.

"Chicago has a history of pioneering 911 operations," Huberman said. "Now, we're stepping off in the direction where 911 operation is going to be in the future."

1984?
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

orwell was twenty years too early
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

It would be ok with me if we could keep the film of the Police beating our asses and use it in court.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

hey 'comment'. Define "behave" for us.

this should be ammusing.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

> It would be ok with me if we could keep the film of the Police beating our asses and use it in court.

Actually, since the police control the cameras, they can also shut them off whenever they want. Or they can disappear the evidence. All the more reason for Copwatch!

I've scooped this story already.

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

so any ideas on fighting back, yet? (Theft! Could we take the mofos down?) Something useful would be a camera map.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

I think you'll find the greatest obstacle you'll face in you're fight against them will be the residents who live with the cameras and the huge death rate surrounding those neighborhoods.Believe it or not they are very popular in the west or south sides. Ask the people before you speak for them.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

jon, as one of those people, i know that they piss us off. kids in my neighberhood regularly rip their wires. but thank you for speaking for the entire 'south and west sides' you dumb hypocrite
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

Again. Have at them. Those are brave kids hanging on full power Com Ed lines but the reality is Daley and the corresponding Aldermen/women in high crime areas receive considerable praise for those cameras whether you feel it justified or not. Also, if you actually read my post I don't speak for the "entire" south or west sides as you created in your post. But then again, neither do you.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

look out... watch out comment, there's someone behind you. some company is trying to overcharge you.. there's a BLACK kid walking down the street from the other side of the tracks.. there's a town oppressing you by making sure the clowns you are accusing of stealing your property who you're underpaying don't build some crap that kills the tenants who owe you so much for the huge favor you're doing them by allowing them to overpay for their housing, so you can afford that call girl you're girlfriend is miserable denial about.

pig, die alone.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

jon, my concern in this matter isn't about "the people," whoever they might be. it's about personal safety, and the effectiveness of direct action. while many people may certainly be glad they're there, they increase the threat of state action against me, without the benefits of increasing the possibility of actions by me against the state - as someone pointed out, evidence of police misconduct is not gonna be coming from police cameras.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

"evidence of police misconduct is not gonna be coming from police cameras" Didn't the Evanston Police department just get caught beating someone illegally on thier own cameras within there own station? It's not like Evanston PD is the "fair" police and CPD isn't.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

evanston and chicago have very different practices.

pretty much bet the city of evanston is going to have a hard time getting devine to prosecute those evanston cops.

if he does he'll have to prosecute the hundreds of CPD he's covering for now. he'll probably delay it forever, or find a way out of it altogether.

that's his m.o.

jon, buddy, you don't know what's up. or, you do know, and you think we're a bunch of idiots.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

"evanston and chicago have very different practices." In the way they beat traffic offenders? I wouldn't let EPD off that easy.

"pretty much bet the city of evanston is going to have a hard time getting devine to prosecute those evanston cops." Devine already charged them with felonys. I'm no Devine fan but thats hardly sitting on his hands and thats the point:Would Devine have gone this far if the police didn't turn over thier own video as evidence against themselves!

"jon, buddy, you don't know what's up. or, you do know, and you think we're a bunch of idiots" Are those my only two choices? Actually, I just put this out as food for thought to be discussed openly. Isn't that the point? I wouldn't call anyone an idiot for thier opinions for or against these cameras.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

I know that this doesn't have anything to do with that but I'm just pissed off. That lousy fucker Bush said today that Kerry has switched sides so many times regarding Iraq that he should "debate himself." How can anyone have any opinion on Iraq when all the information about Iraq is lies lies and fucking more lies? Of course, everyone had one opinion about Iraq when Bush was repeating WMDs WMDs WMDs a million times, and of course, people have a DIFFERENT opinion now that we know for sure all of that was bullshit plain and simple. Strong human beings admit when they are wrong and change their actions when they are immoral. Only nazi sons of bitches stubornly stay on a course when it is immorally wrong, not only that, but failing. Yeah, I admire Bush's ability to make a decision and stick with it, unfortunately, his decisions are the thoughts of an evil madman who is hell bent on taking over the world one lie at a time. I'll take a little indecision over that nonsense any day!!!!!! It feels like there is a volcano ready to blow . . .
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

ok jon, i just read about the felony charges so i came back to eat my words. but i'm still incredulous. i think they'll get off.

cjl, you are right.

but why this thread?

kerry voted for the authorization and was promised conditions. then bush broke the conditions and pushed forward. why is that so hard for kerry to articulate? and the media to report?

hmmm... fascism? could be.

check this cool site.. then start a new thread

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

You may be correct,nw. As the last sentence in the linked article says:

"As a judge around here once said, you can indict a ham sandwich,"

I guess we'll wait and see.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

What kind of bastard begs for support and then when he gets it uses that support AGAINST those who supported him. The rhetoric Bush is using against Kerry right now should stand as a warning to anyone even thinking of ever supporting anything Bush ever does again. He will then use it against you in the long run. You don't think that this kind of tiring, illogical nonsense that is hypnotizing the entire country into a lethargy like never seen before has any relation to spy cameras that can detect when two people stop to talk or when someone is "acting strangely" such as walking in a circle, all of which will be funded by a "homeland security" grant, pitched by a Mayor who, when asked about the reasonalbe expectation of privacy issue, answered by taking cheap pot shots at the local papers (basically saying, hey, you guys take pictures of me when I don't want you to, so here's my revenge on you all)--not only do they have us all under their spell, but they have us all on film as well. You can keep your website. There will be no election. No matter who wins it, it will be another selection. Your vote doesn't matter. The game is rigged. Just look at how Edwards is now going around bragging how he's going to "destroy the terrorists." And where is that fucker Kerry who spoke out against Vietnam? What did they do, replace him with some pod person who's only defense is that he has a "better way" to murder people? You're not listening. It feels like a volcano is about to blow . . .

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

Does anyone remember the Iranian hostage crisis? Showing my age. I feel older than that. Anyway, back then we gave a shit. I was too young to understand the politics behind it, I'm sure it was a bunch of bullshit too, but at least America gave a shit. We counted every day our citizens were held hostage. Now our self appointed leader doesn't even pretend to give a shit as the hostages get their heads chopped off. America is numb. See Garden State, a great movie which speaks in a subtle way about how numb we have become. There is a great opening sequence where the main character seems bored as the plane he is on is crashing--one of the most disturbing images ever put on film. Don't be fooled by the Hollywood ending, it is really a lie told to herself by the female lead. The thing about these cameras is that they are saying it is to prevent terrorism. Since when has Chicago been a target for terrorism? Actually, we haven't had one terrorist attack in America since 9/11. This can not be acredited to Bush, because there wasn't one foreign terrorist attack on US soil BEFORE 9/11 either. If you think about how Bush dropped out of the anti-missile treaty, abandoned Middle East peace negotiations, and began the war rhetoric right from the start of his coupe, it's my guess 9/11 was a message to HIM, not to America. The fact that we haven't had any other terrorists incidents in the States since then probably means that whatever the people who we are pissing off are planning is going to be one big thing, not a stupid suitecase in a hallway that can be caught by some pipe dream called a spy network, but something big and well thought out. I imagine when it happens it will be too late, and there isn't a spy camera that can stop it. Maybe a change in policy can stop it. Maybe promoting love, understanding, the desire for peace, or diplomacy can stop it. But violence only leads to more violence. I really believe it is only a matter of time. How big does it have to be to snap Americans out of the spell? Also, just to rant without any direction whatsoever, it is funny that those right wing religious nuts said that 9/11 (clearly an act of man) was a messge from God to the gays or the pro-choice people, but I don't hear shit from them how all these hurricanes (clearly an act of God) is a response to the sin of rigging Florida's elections, putting in a war-monger who has cast this world into a never-ending downward spire of hate and contempt toward human life. Watch how easily the spy network malfunctions when it by chance catches a police officer kicking the shit out of a defenseless kid.

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

For those who have understanding, reckon. There is no such thing as an action without an equal and opposite reaction. There are ten frames in a game of bowling--not four. Everything must be what it is not. In the birth of fire, the number 6.0 is followed by the number 8.2. Scars was invented to distract the dragon while the King of Terror crusades. Ash is the prologue to snow. Acts of God inspire civil unrest. Poverty conceives dissent. God is but the desire of the people. Reality is simply the accumulation of what we desire. The beast will serve a term, a term and half a term, this thing must come to pass. Turn off your televisions, avoid the lithium. Ronald Wilson Reagan. Ronald Wilson Reagan. Ronald Wilson Reagan.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

Next time you're going to post like that I'd appreciate a warning so I can don my tinfoil cap.
 

Daley's Spy Web

Tin foil cap? Actually, Garden State is currently playing at Pipers Alley and at River East, though you should head out there fast, because this is likely to be one of those brilliant movies, like Lost in Translation, that doesn't do very well on its first run but which will be studied in screen-writing classes for ages to come.

Anyone who suggests this movie is a "coming of age" film or even a comedy, needs to slow down and think about it. Though the movie offers several moments which inspire laughter, it is truly one of the darkest, saddest, most disturbing movies a thinking audience is ever likely to see. It is filled with poetry, not in its language, but in its deep symbolism and in its trust in its audience to come to their own conclusions. On the surface, the story comes across as a Bush era version of The Graduate, in that the Dustin Hoffman character (in this case, Largeman, played by Zach Braff) has been numbed by lithium for most of his life. From the opening sequence, during which Largeman seems indifferent toward the plight of those around him, indeed, even to his own demise, as the plane he is on crashes to earth while he adjusts the air blower above his head.

Largeman's hopes for a normal life outside of the lithium stupor are about as real as the get rich quick schemes which are a running theme throughout the film. He gets involved with a compulsive liar. He begins hanging out with the derelicts, drug addicts and thieves he knew from childhood. He fools himself into thinking he didn't cripple his mom, but that it was the fault of a half inch piece of plastic. He knows that his father murdered his mother, that his best friend is a grave robber, that he is about to die in a plane wreck, but he is too emotionally numb to do anything about it.

There isn't a wasted frame in the entire picture. Everything represents something else, but this thick symbolism blends in, going unnoticed at first, like Largeman's new shirt. A flaming arrow falls at the feet of his girlfriend, representing both cupid as well as the descent into the abyss.

Ooh, wait, I'm sorry, I got distracted.

Let me tell you. If you want to get away with something, just do it in a way in which anyone who tries to describe what you did sounds insane, or sounds like a conspiracy theorist. If you are going to lie, make it such a BIG, complicated lie that anyone who tries to explain it will sound like they are wearing a aluminum foil hat. If you want to do something evil, make it so incredibly, unbelievably evil, that very few will even suspect that man is capable of such a thing, and then nobody will even suspect you, let alone prosecute you. Hitler knew all about this philosophy. Bush knows all about it as well. He will act in the most nonsensical way that anyone who tries to protest what he is doing will of course be met with one word: NONSENSE!

Oil. $50 a barrel? Gee. I guess that Iraq war thing didn't help.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

"This can not be acredited to Bush, because there wasn't one foreign terrorist attack on US soil BEFORE 9/11 either." 2/26/1993 WTC. If we're actually counting.

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

I suppose, if you believe what our government tells us, the 1993 WTC bombing could be considered a "foreign" terrorist attack. Once again, however, it seems our government "allowed" this incident to happen. The main culprit behind the bombing, Ramzi Yousef, actually entered America by using a fake Iraqi passport. The person he traveled with was arrested upon entry, when a search of his luggage revealed --guess what-- bomb-making manuals. However, Ramzi Yousef was released, after he crossed his heart and promised to come back a month later for a hearing. From there, Yousef contacted a cell loyal to Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, who had himself been granted entree into America by --guess what-- the CIA. Investigators at once point raided the apartment of one of Rahman's partners, and they seized dozens of more bomb-making manuals, as well as documents related to bombing plots in New York. They didn't bother to translate them from Arabic; instead, they were passed to Ramzi Yousef on a silver platter, after a judge ordered the property returned to its owner, who was still in jail. At once point, Ramzi Yousef was injured in a car accident while he was driving around with the bomb materials in the trunk of his car, but after a brief hospital stay, he was given the material back, after they sat for days, safely sitting in a police impound.

We are either expected to believe that our government is incredibly stupid and incompetent, or, more likely, an incident was needed, to justify an invasion of Iraq. But the first bombing attempt on the WTC failed to have the impact on society to justify a massive invasion. That would take something bigger. A successful attack on the WTC possibly.

All the spy cameras in the world won't save you if the CIA is working as the silent partner.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

Given the choices of total governmental stupidity and ineptness by INS to the latter, I'll choose the former.

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

Hey, go fuck yourself, shill. How could anyone "change the subject" on a posting board, you idiot? The subject is what anyone decides their opinion of the subject at hand is. And I think all of what I said is relevant, that despite the fact that society is too numb to do anything about this spy camera idea, the stupid fucking idea will never get off the ground in face of all the expenses that will be involved with the natural disasters at hand, including (have you been listening, you brain dead loser) the motherfucking volcanic eruption. Now, you stupid fucking brain dead lobotomy victim, why don't you take that big donkey dick out of your ass and get a life!!!!!

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

Here I thought we were having a civil conversation, but I see you just want to talk to yourself. How could I be trying to change the subject, no, wait, even more sinister, trying to (of course!) SUPPORT DALEY, if I am myself admitting "this doesn't have anything to do with that"? What the fuck kind of numb nut place has this become, where you can't even add your two cents anymore without someone insulting you, simply because they don't like your opinion on the subject, or they don't think what you have to say about the bigger picture has anything to do with the tiny little picture that they want to focus on? Have my comments kept you from posting your links? Have my comments (and, I should mention, others as well--I wasn't the one that posted the map of Florida!!) kept you from posting your comments or continuing your discussion? No, but somehow, because I added my own views, views you obviously don't agree with but I don't understand what you have against them, I am, A CROOK. A CROOK? By what wild leap of the imagination am I a crook? Sorry. We can't all be as cowardly as that, posting anonymously, calling someone a crook without explaining how he is a crook. Crook insinuates I am dishonest. But some of us have been posting our honest opinions, no matter how unpopular they may be, and have the balls to sign our real name to it. Some of us don't. Who's the crook? And for your information, you might not have understood my posts, and sorry if they distracted you, but I was trying to AGREE WITH YOU. Geez!

not 'what do you get from that, crook?'

maybe you are a crook though, maybe that's why you misread it.

why don't you start a thread about the cubs game you dork.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

I'm reading it for the second time now, and I still don't know what the fuck you are trying to say by "what do you expect from that crook." You say "same ol' cj" and then you say "what do you expect from that crook." If I'm not the crook in that sentence, then who is? Daley, the only other person you mention? If so, what the fuck does Daley have to do with me??? Why the fuck do you keep equating me with Daley? That is simply the weirdest fucking shit I've ever had to defend myself against.

Learn how to write, you moron. Learn how to express yourself so that people can understand you, especially if you are going to sling insults. Shit, you're the one who "changed the subject" from a discussion (be it surreal) about "1984" to a nasty name calling fest. Fuck you. The day I let scum like you dictate where and when I can post my thoughts, is the day I'll hang up my poetry hat.

And I know how you feel. Some fucker keeps coming into MY pages here and posting all sorts of SHIT when we're trying to discuss our relevant local issues. Doesn't feel good. Does it?
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

one last time: "what do you get from that crook?" (Daley)

i guess maybe if i was a smackhead i'd also be on the take.

wow dude, you're gone, it's over ain't it?
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

Huh? Now I don't know who the "smackhead" is. Me or Daley? Or, for that matter, what you're asking with your original question, "what do you get from that crook," because if the crook is Daley, as you say, then the "you" in the sentence must be me. So, you are asking me what I get from Daley??? the question makes no sense, because why do you think I "get" anything from Daley in the first place, especially since all of my posts on this page have been against the spy system. Just for the record, about twelve years ago I tried smack a few times, but that hardly constitutes being a "smackhead," if that's even what your meant, seeing your little posts are so encrypted. I also don't watch cubs games. Nor am I a spokesman for Daley, nor am I a Democrat, nor am I a Republican. Whether or not I'm a dork, well, I suppose that should be judged by the eye of the beholder, but I figure only hipster doofuses go around calling people dorks, so I have no problem being a dork if that's what I am, because it is much better than being an ignorant hipster doofus. I'm also 100% opposed to 1984 style spy networks such as is described is the story posted, which I assume was copied from USA Today without their permission, but fuck that rich mainstream propaganda machine, too. I can just ignore all of that. But comparing Garden State to Tron? That's just unforgiveable!

"wow dude, you're gone, it's over ain't it?"

I would ask for an explanation of what that means, but I fear it would take you several posts before you managed to make yourself clear, so I'll spare you the effort.

So, by all means, continue your discussion, but what comes around goes around, and if you want people to respect your space, start respecting other people's spaces.

Bye.

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

not if we get back on topic

money for cameras? bet on it.

there is no shortage of money in government for control mechanisms. especially here in chicago. he'll get it from some fascist corporation, and pocket some change.

if money is needed for drugs and guns to set up people, or just to make more money, it's there. more riot gear for the police state? no problem. more sweetheart contracts for daley's buddies, where millions of dollars disappear? easy pickins'. wads of cash and ghost payrolling for daley's shill network? count on it.

schools? sell them to the corporations cuz there's no money.

revitalization? privatize it and colonize the poor communities, cuz there's no money.

hospitals/clinics? just build one oversize hospital because it's good for pork, name it after the biggest uncle tom this side of the smokies. forget about small, accesible clinics, spread out over the region with a focus on prevention and nutrition. that's not good for business, we need sick people to profit off of.

yes.. there is money for anything to keep you under control.. for nothing that will empower you.
 

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

Let us see SC try to silence me.

The Zionist army’s attacks on residential areas in Gaza reached a peak over the past week.

So far, at least 63 defenseless people from Gaza have been martyred in Israel’s military operation, codenamed Days of Penitence.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon warned that the operations would continue until the leaders of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades were completely destroyed.

The Zionist regime’s attacks mainly targeted the Jabaliya, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahiya refugee camps, because, according to Sharon, these three camps are sheltering the largest number of members of Palestinian resistance group.

Sharon has ordered an intensification of attacks on residential areas in the southern Gaza Strip while most of the world is focused on the Iraq crisis and the U.S. presidential election campaign.

However, after their session on Sunday, Arab League representatives called on the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting to study the situation in Palestine, but the United States threatened to veto any Security Council resolution against the Zionist regime.

This shows that Sharon is taking advantage of the current situation in the United States, well aware of the fact that the Republican and Democratic candidates both feel they must win a significant proportion of the Jewish vote.

Indeed, U.S. President George W. Bush has refused to adopt a tough position toward Sharon’s crimes in order to gain votes in the Jewish community.

The charged atmosphere in Iraq and the increase in attacks on Iraqi cities by U.S. troops have focused international attention on the Iraqi crisis, leaving Sharon free to pursue his evil goals.

The shameful situation in the occupied territories, the lack of international will to halt the Israeli army’s attacks against Palestinian civilians, and the deafening silence of the international community give credence to the notion that the Palestinians have no alternative but to continue resistance.

Although Hamas recently announced its interest in declaring a ceasefire on condition that the Zionist army halt its military operations, Sharon seems to be more interested in seeking a military victory, albeit a temporary one, before a possible withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

Sharon believes that withdrawing Israeli troops from Gaza without suppressing the Palestinian resistance would be a military defeat similar to the defeat that the Zionist army experienced in the year 2000 in southern Lebanon.

Therefore, by taking advantage of the silence of international organizations, the Israeli prime minister has begun efforts to physically eliminate all Intifada leaders and thus appear victorious in the eyes of extremist Jews.

If the UN Security Council fails to make the right decision about the crimes of the Israeli army at this sensitive juncture, violence will surely spread throughout the occupied territories. And if that happened, the international body would certainly lose face in the international arena more than ever before.

Re: Chicago plans 2,000 camera big brother spy network

AMMAN, 4 October 2004 — Governments around the Middle East yesterday hit out at Israel’s massive five-day-old invasion into Gaza, as the death toll hit 66 and the Palestinians pleaded for international support.

Iran accused Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip and called for international intervention to halt the latest operation, while key Western ally Jordan warned the arrogance of the Jewish state was fuelling retaliation around the region.

Palestinian Negotiations Minister Saeb Erekat said the lack of international reaction to the Israeli onslaught was encouraging Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to continue the onslaught.

“The absence of international reaction is encouraging Ariel Sharon to assert that the operation will continue, although the situation is getting worse and the Palestinian people are enduring massacres,” he said.

Arab League representatives decided that the 22-member bloc would make a joint appeal at the United Nations for urgent action to halt Israel’s “continuing war of extermination against the Palestinian people.”

“The genocide of Palestinians and violations of international laws by the Israelis means that action from the international community is needed to defend the defenseless people of Palestine,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry said.

“The brutal slaughter of innocent people in the Gaza Strip has further exposed the inhuman nature of the Zionist regime’s leaders to the public,” ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told the official IRNA news agency.

Iran does not recognize the Zionist state, which has regarded the Islamic republic as its No. 1 enemy since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq last year.

However neighboring Jordan, which signed a 1994 peace treaty with Israel, was also forthright in its condemnation.

“Israel’s arrogance and the pursuit of its policy of assassinations and mass killings of Palestinian civilians as well as the destruction of property and infrastructure in the Palestinian territories does not serve the peace process,” King Abdallah told a visiting British delegation.

“Such action will increase the cycle of violence and fuel the phenomenon of extremism in the region,” the official Petra news agency quoted him as saying.

King Abdallah’s comments were all the more striking as he has won plaudits in Israel for his outspoken criticism of the Palestinian leadership in recent weeks.

The king echoed that criticism yesterday calling on the Palestinian Authority “to settle its internal disputes and close its ranks in order to achieve the aspirations of the Palestinian people and to become an effective partner in the peace process”.

Another Western ally, Kuwait, hit out at what it described as Israel’s “criminal actions” against the Palestinian people and demanded international action to stop to them. “The Israeli policy of committing more killings and the destruction of property will lead the region to more violence and instability,” ministers said after their weekly meeting.

“The Cabinet calls on the international community, particularly the quartet members (the European Union, Russia, the United Nations and the United States) and the UN Security Council, to intervene immediately and decisively to put an end to the Israeli criminal actions.”

In Cairo, the Arab League said there would be an “urgent appeal to the General Assembly and or Security Council” for the “international protection that is indispensable” to the Palestinian people.

Arab ambassadors called on the quartet to “to live up to its responsibility and move rapidly to take a decisive stand to end the Israeli aggression”.

The United States, Israel’s main ally, has expressed “regret” over civilian casualties from the offensive and called on Israel to use “only proportional force”.

But it has declined to condemn the incursion, saying that Israel had a right to defend itself.

Erekat told AFP the lack of stronger world condemnation was encouraging the Israeli premier to press the vast operation.
 

Cameras used to improve illegal drug flowing

Well, I believe that the cameras installed around some cities are not only used to spy on people, also used to make money. It is possible that the cameras are used to supervise the illegal drug supplies and watch addictive-related flows of the drugs sold around the cities. Not just privacy intrusion, also used for profit via monitoring drug selling, as if a boss(a person uses a camera to monitor employees) is making sure that an employee(drug seller) is doing his job. So many cameras, corrupted courts, corrupted governments, etc...
