Charles,

You may have some interest in the Risen/Rosen/Hagmann convergence:

From Northeast Intelligence Network founder Doug J. Hagmann-affidavit of May 30, 2013

http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/55649

“Additionally, it is known to this source that your affiant, Douglas J. Hagmann, has been in contact with [REDACTED], a reported with Fox News by telephone concerning certain information that has yet to be made public.”

I should add here I’m not certain Mr. Hagmann (bio here: ) is making reference to Fox News journalist James Rosen (http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/personalities/james-rosen/bio/#s=r-z) or another FNC journalist who has found himself surveilled and harassed by this ‘Justice’ Department. And for the record James Rosen and James Risen of the New York Times who was recently compelled to burn his sources and testify against one of them: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/19/us-usa-courts-leak-idUSBRE96I18W20130719

are two separate individuals, though they are friends and happily forward emails sent by mistake to the other man to each other.
“Subsequent to the telephone conversation that concluded at 12:06:17, your affiant replaced the receiver on the telephone. At that moment, the telephone emitted a short ring, perhaps best described as a muffled ring or a “chirp.“Initially, your affiant believed it to be a simple ring-back, much like those occasionally experienced during the course of otherwise normal telephone use. It is important to note, however, that the sound made by the telephone did not have that same characteristics as a ring back.”
“Curious because of the ring tone, your affiant looked at the caller ID displayed and was startled to see the following on the telephone caller ID screen:“UT NSA DATA REC CTR.”Your affiant immediate muted the telephone and picked up the receiver, hearing the following message in a male voice:”

”…your notification that the Utah NSA Data Recording Center successfully captured this landline communication under file # [I was unable to copy the numbers as they were spoken quickly]. Refer to senior duty officer for access code under file #[this appeared to be a different alpha-numeric sequence].”

reported above is [sic] a typo. Hagmann meant “reporter with Fox News by telephone…”

Not directly FISA related, but close to police state fears and similar topics:

Sun is down after Shabbos, the Breitbart lads whom I know through friends of friends are hard at work. They know Andrew wasn’t murdered, I’ve heard through mutual sources, but I don’t think they and Michael Savage aka Michael Alan Weiner (bet he’s doubly glad he changed his name now) are so certain about this one not being foul play. The LAPD screwed up the OJ case on evidence and they could screw this one up too especially if higher ups wanted it to happen and the evidence to be quickly disposed of, both the body and the vehicle.

Mr X:

This post is about a graphic motif as used by the Pasdaran, Hizbollah and the Katibat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar.  The materials you’ve posted here don’t relate to that topic, and are outside my range of interests as someone specializing in religious and apocalyptic drivers to violence.  I appreciated the page on Orthodox eschatology you pointed me to earlier today, but your recent flurry of posts here and on one other ZP post of mine interrupt the conversations I was hoping to have, and address matters I’m in no way competent to discuss.
.
I prefer not to control comments on my posts here unless they’re clearly offensive, but five long off-topic comments in an hour or so is a bit much for my tastes.  Can we please reserve the comments section for conversations around the posts themselves? Thanks.

Charles,
Good stuff (as always).  I just finished reading the Anzalone piece and will be blogging on it (and some other related stories) this week.

Hi Tim:
.
Thanks.  I have the impression from its title, Visual References, and from the many examples drawn from it in his piece in the latest CTC Sentinel, Zaynab’s Guardians: The Emergence of Shi`a Militias in Syria, that the two pieces really go together, with the former serving as a web-viewable source of the images needed for the latter — where they can’t be featured because the Sentinel would be overwhelmed by so many illustrations in a single piece.
.
In any case, if you’re blogging about the one, you’d probably want to take a close look at the other, too!
.
I look forward to reading you.

Phillip Smyth has a post up at Jihadology titled Liwa’a ‘Ammar Ibn Yasir: A New Shia Militia Operating In Aleppo, Syria in which he reproduces the militia’s logo with commentary:

.
The logo for Liwa’a ‘Ammar Ibn Yasir. The group’s name is stylized into a pattern which includes the Lebanese Hizballah/Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps style symbol of a fist gripping an AK-47. (In Gold) “Liwa’a ‘Ammar Ibn Yasir” (‘Ammar Ibn Yasir Brigade) and (in blue) “Al-Muqawama al-Islamiya” (“The Islamic Resistance”)

Anither example of “theme with variations” as a musician might term it.
