Defence in Jordan trial to ask court to invite Prince Hamza to testify
AMMAN (Reuters) -Jordan's Prince Hamza is among witnesses who will be asked to testify by the defence team of a former confidant of King Abdullah who is on trial on charges of agitating to destabilise the monarchy, the defence's lawyer said on Wednesday.
Mohamed Afif told Reuters it would be up to the court to decide whether to call Prince Hamza, the king's half-brother, as a witness.
"We will ask 25 witnesses, and among them Prince Hamza," Afif said. The trial began last week behind closed doors, with authorities saying that the proceedings were secret due to the sensitivity of the case.
The scandal shocked Jordan when it surfaced in March, because it appeared to expose rifts within the ruling Hashemite family that has been a symbol of stability in a volatile region in recent years.
Hamza, the estranged prince at the centre of the trial, was accused of liaising with parties with foreign links to undermine the authority of the king.
He avoided punishment last April after pledging allegiance to the king, defusing a crisis that led to his house arrest.
Charges against the two defendants, Bassem Awadallah and Sherif Hassan Zaid, include agitating to undermine the kingdom's political system and acts that threaten public security and sowing sedition. Both have pleaded not guilty.
Both carry sentences of up to 30 years in prison.
Some legal experts and civic activists have questioned the legality of a trial where the main defendant Prince Hamza has not been charged. They say the special court is not independent of the judiciary and lacks the standards of a fair trial.
The authorities have said the trial process is fair.

>How stupid can women be to let this happen to them?
Maybe they're not stupid. Maybe they're waking up to the fact that Pageants are, in themselves, a form of slavery. Parade down a runway, wearing different outfits to show their assets, being stared at like a piece of meat, Judged on looks, "For Sale" just like in a cattle auction. If a TRANNY has it, that'/s a pretty good summary of history of why pageants were really created. Enjoy. The. SHOW.
It's really pretty stupid.
Finally! Now it's time to finish off the "Socialist Security System" by rolling it into ONE. If it wasn't blatant enough before, what your social security number was used for, perhaps THIS will wake up the sheeple.
House Democrats propose government-run credit reporting system
House lawmakers on Tuesday called for sweeping reforms to the credit reporting industry — with some Democrats going so far as proposing a nationally run system, saying the three major bureaus are failing Americans.
Three pieces of legislation were put forth for discussion, including the National Credit Reporting Agency Act that “would establish the Public Credit Registry (PCR) within the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, creating a public option for consumers who choose to utilize it.”
“This is a system that fails people with perfect credit that may be victims of identity theft,” Chairwoman Maxine Waters said at the Financial Services Committee hearing. “This is a system that fails people who get caught in a debt trap because of predatory lending, and this is a system that fails people who don't have the means to dispute errors that reporting agencies make.”
The three major credit bureaus — Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian — compile and store financial data about a person's debt obligations submitted by creditors into a credit report. That report can be used to determine if that person qualifies for a loan and at what terms. Landlords, employers, utilities, cell phone companies, and insurers also can use this information.
While ranking Republican committee member Patrick McHenry agreed that major reforms to the current “oligarchy” are needed, he doesn’t support a nationally run system.
“We should be promoting competition to create better opportunities for consumers,” McHenry said, “not allowing a single government entity to run the credit reporting process for all Americans.”

Election Fuckery [KNOWN]
[THEY] know we know [THEY] know.
How bout those Audits? Look here, not here?
Who was also Guarding the Elections?
At the Reagan National Defense Forum last December, Army Gen. Paul M. Nakasone, U.S. Cyber Command commander and director of the National Security Agency, laid out the Defense Department's role in election security. "We began the ability for us to defend the presidential elections not today, not six months from now. We began it the day after the midterm elections," he said, "We have not let up in terms of our ability to understand what our adversaries are doing."
The Defense Department plays an important role in that whole-of-government partnership, spearheaded by the NSA and Cybercom's Election Security Group, formed in the wake of the successes of the Russia Small Group during the 2018 midterms.
David Imbordino, the NSA election security lead, and Army Brig. Gen. William Hartman, Cybercom's election security lead and commander of Cyber National Mission Force, co-lead the joint Election Security Group. Its purpose is to align the two organizations' resources, efforts and actions to disrupt, deter and degrade adversaries' ability to interfere and influence the U.S. elections.
"The biggest success out of 2018 wasn't the 2018 midterms," Hartman said. "The biggest success was we put in place, both organizationally and from a business practice standpoint, a focus on an enduring mission to protect the democratic process."
The Election Security Group's primary objectives are to generate insights on foreign adversaries that lead to improved cyber defenses and to impose costs on countries that seek to interfere. It directly supports partners, such as the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, by collecting, declassifying and sharing vital information to enable agencies' efforts in election security.
"[The FBI will] engage with social media companies," Imbordino said. "That information can enable a social media company to then use their platform, where they have very unique insights that we don't have, to mitigate and potentially unravel [malicious] social media influence campaigns."
When NSA and Cybercom see a cyberattack happening against a certain victim, they communicate that information to appropriate government offices, which, in turn, work with private-sector partners to provide notification and enable future cyber defense.
"We look at adversary meddling in an election on two different fronts. One is covert influence, and then there's interference," Imbordino said. "For interference, what we're talking about is an adversary trying to go change a vote total, targeting election infrastructure, voter rolls. Influence is more of the social media component of trying to influence public opinion."
"It's not enough to just know and understand what our adversaries are doing," he continued. "The nation expects us to do something about it. Enabling our partners with the right information at the right classification level they need to take action to defend our democracy against these threats is essential and allows all of the tools of the government to be employed in this fight."
