Multiple arrests as dozens rally in Oakland against police brutality
When Baltimore exploded in protests a few weeks ago following the unexplained paddy-wagon death of a young African-American man named Freddie Gray, America responded the way it usually does in a race crisis: It changed the subject.
The city of Cleveland has reached a settlement with the U.S. Justice Department over a pattern of excessive force and civil rights violations by the police department, a senior federal law enforcement official told the Associated Press Monday.
Lipstick on a Pig - That's how we see Obama's so-called "bans" and "restrictions" on federal programs that militarize your local police.
The "ban" doesn't really ban anything. And restrictions? They rely on local and federal government agreeing on what qualifies as "constitutionally-sound" uses of military equipment by local police.

Asset-hole and so-called "too big to jail" banks admitted criminal looting through market manipulation and collusion last week, and will return a mere 33% of one quarter's income without prison sentences (total "fine" of $5.7 billion from $15.5 billion 2015 1st-quarter combined incomes - see below).
Please note that the US Department of Justice (sic) fails to communicate the amount looted by the banksters, only the "fines" without context of:
this is a bankster operating expense for pretending to operate under law,
"regulators" serve in government "minor league" positions until "called up" to work for the banksters in the "big leagues,"
requiring the banks to "fire" eight responsible executives without prison sentences just allows them to be rehired by other banksters to resume "business" as usual.
An interesting update on the murder suspect charged with killing a TSA officer and wounding three others has appeared in a local news outlet in Southern California. Paul Ciancia, 24, faces the death penalty and is currently incarcerated in Los Angeles. He has received no mail, written no letters, and has not made or received any phone calls, e-mails or visits. Except for a trusty psychiatrist, of course. The day of the shooting, police found notes Ciancia had allegedly written referring to 'fiat currency,' the 'NWO,' and called 'Big Sis' Janet Napolitano a "BULL DYKE." He wrote that he wanted to "kill TSA and pigs" in order to "instill fear in your terrorist minds." Ciancia also railed against the DHS, Federal judges, the FBI, the Federal Reserve, the ATF, FEMA, and the EPA.

US Senate Armed Services Committee Chair, John McCain, says he prays for the US military to end terrorism in the Middle East.
Those of us awake to the long history of US-initiated Wars of Aggression began on lies share Senator McCain's prayers. Therefore, we formally request US military to enact their Oaths of Enlistment to refuse all orders related to obviously unlawful armed attacks, and for US military officers to enact their lawful responsibility to arrest those who issue obviously unlawful orders associated with Wars of Aggression.

Beyond the count of years I walked the world,
and my children built their shrines to me.
Decades and centuries and millennia pass,
and still the shrines are built.
Temples insubstantial to men,
clear to my eyes.
No foundations or walls or roofs,
but shrines nonetheless.
Holy ground, consecrated
Today, every day, somewhere in the world,
the earth is prepared for my coming.
My hallowed grounds are everywhere.
In valleys and on mountains,
on broad plains and deep in hidden passes,
in deserts, on city streets.
Nameless, unremembered places.
California may be facing a water crisis, but a 71-year-old Los Angeles widow's struggle to pay for utilities has taught her just how precious the natural resource can be.
Doris Tillman told The Los Angeles Times that she was forced to stop paying for water after the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power sent her a bill for $11,000. She just assumed that the enormous bill must be a mistake.
DWP cut off her water last August. To survive, the 71-year-old woman hauls 50 gallons each week from a nearby water machine — at a cost of about 25 cents a gallon.
Last week, according to the Washington Times, hired protesters who haven't been paid held a sit-in at the Missourians Organizing for reform Now (MORE) offices and posted a demand letter online. Similarly, protesters with the Black Lives Matter movement have started a #CutTheCheck hashtag and held a sit-in at the offices for the successor group to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) in Missouri after the group allegedly stopped paying them. MORE has been paying protestors $5,000 per month to demonstrate in Ferguson.
Based on the Israeli government's policy of allowing all Jews the right to return to Israel, we believe it is not only advisable but morally obligatory that Europe should allow all white South Africans the right to return.

What about America's liberal media elite? Do they, too, have some sort of legal immunity? Not technically as there are no laws or constitutional provisions that specifically exempt progressive elitist members of the press from legal prosecution.
However, author Katie Pavlich, news editor of the conservative TownHall.com news and opinion web site, says they might as well have immunity because they get away with criminal behavior that would likely land ordinary citizens behind bars all too often.
Meanwhile, journalists — most of whom would fecklessly tell you they're free-speechers — are constantly trying to invent exceptions to protected speech.
Case in point: Pamela Geller, the anti-Muslim activist, wound up being blamed for an attack by two extremist Muslim gunmen on one of her nasty events in Texas recently because she crossed some imaginary free-speech line.
In the minds of several media analysts, she should somehow have been stifled. (Of course, had Geller been sexually assaulted and the same logic applied, it would be denounced as "survivor blaming.")
Note that this article is against limits on free speech ... but only free speech about Muslims. No mention of Israel's attempts to censor criticism of their government and Canada's complicity in that agenda!
San Antonio, Texas – A number of students at San Antonio's McCollum High School were charged with inciting a riot for their involvement in a food fight that took place at the school this Thursday just after noon. "It was a rowdy food fight. There were plates all over the floor, and corn in the air and some milk cartons as well," student Adrian Toscano told KSAT-TV.
Tech industry giants say they are alarmed the federal government would demand back-door access to the encryption built into their products. Are they crying crocodile tears? Maybe, but the point is still a good one.
Imagine if, instead of memory chips, we were talking about your home's back door. It most likely contains a lock. Your family members have keys. They can come and go freely while others cannot. This is how locks should work.
The FBI says it can't do its job unless it has unimpeded access to your house, so it asks you to give it a spare key. The FBI further promises it will only use the key to enter your home in emergencies. Would you give it to them?
Hell NO!
It's one thing to say a federal scientist can't publicly publish details on how to build an H-bomb. It's quite another thing to say US Senators can't reveal, to the American people, what they're voting on.
There is no Constitutional basis for such an assertion. In fact, it's a direct violation of the Separation-of-Powers principle.
By assigning National Security secrecy-status to the details of the TPP, the Executive Branch is arbitrarily muzzling the Congress.
We're witnessing a stunning farce.

Several residents were shocked when the 16-year veteran of the force, Bradley Wax, 54, was arrested and charged with 38 counts of possessing child pornography.
When Wax was arrested, the Louisiana Attorney General's Office said investigators found pornographic images of children on computers and other electronic devices.
American spy agencies have intentionally weakened digital security for many decades. This breaks the functionality of our computers and of the Internet. It reduces functionality and reduces security by – for example – creating backdoors that malicious hackers can get through.
The spy agencies have treated patriotic Americans who want to use encryption to protect their privacy as extremists … or even terrorists.
As Gizmodo's Matt Novak points out, this attack started at the very birth of the internet:
Check out this textbook written in 1970 by Paul and Anne Ehrlich, the precursor to the textbook Ecoscience they wrote with Obama Science Czar John P. Holdren seven years later. The book advocates all manner of horrors to depopulate what they consider an overpopulated world, including everything from adding sterilants to the water and food to producing a sterilizing virus that requires a vaccine antidote one could apply for... it's a nightmare.
As such, it was pretty shocking to find a passage where the authors excitedly discuss using stevia rebaudiana — the same sweet leaf hailed everywhere today as a wonderful, healthy sugar alternative — as an anti-fertility agent
Note that part about infecting the world with a virus that prevents pregnancy, then selling the antidote!
From the first sudden, and quite dramatic, appearance of the fanatical Islamic group known as ISIS which was largely unheard of until a year ago, on the world's stage and which promptly replaced the worn out and tired al Qaeda as the world's terrorist bogeyman, we suggested that the "straight to beheading YouTube clip" purpose behind the Saudi Arabia-funded Islamic State was a simple one: use the Jihadists as the vehicle of choice to achieve a political goal: depose of Syria's president Assad, who for years has stood in the way of a critical Qatari natural gas pipeline, one which could dethrone Russia as Europe's dominant – and belligerent – source of energy, reaching an interim climax with the unsuccessful Mediterranean Sea military build up of 2013, which nearly resulted in quasi-world war.
Along with formidable future weapons, super soldiers, armed drones of every size and autonomous robots executing lethal missions, the battlefield of tomorrow will also be driven by target identity and biometric data – you know, to stop terrorists.
Gizmodo reports:
The United States' most elite soldiers have been collecting DNA samples from suspected terrorists for years. But because analysis normally takes three weeks, it's been a pretty useless chore. Now, however, U.S. Special Operations Command is testing a machine that can do it in 90 minutes. Get ready for advanced biometric warfare.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the NSA spies on Americans' credit card transactions. Senators Wyden and Udall – both on the Senate Intelligence Committee, with access to all of the top-secret information about the government's spying programs – write:
Section 215 of the Patriot Act can be used to collect any type of records whatsoever … including information on credit card purchases, medical records, library records, firearm sales records, financial information and a range of other sensitive subjects.
Many other government agencies track your credit card purchases as well. In fact, all U.S. intelligence agencies – including the CIA and NSA – are going to spy on Americans' finances.

NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden acknowledged Rand's stand in a Reddit AMA on Thursday
Legislation to extend for two months a program in which spy agencies sweep up vast amounts of data about Americans' telephone calls was blocked in the U.S. Senate early on Saturday, adding to uncertainty about the future of the program.
The Senate voted 45-54 on the procedural measure to stop debate on the extension of provisions of the "USA Patriot Act," falling well short of the 60 votes in favor needed to advance the measure. The legal authorities that allow the collection of so-called telephone "metadata" expire on June 1.
Which does not mean the NSA will stop doing it. They'll just hope you think they stopped!
"This is not a trade agreement. It's about intellectual property and dispute settlement."
Starting in July, a new law in Kansas will restrict the amount of cash a welfare recipient can take out of ATM's to just $25 a day—a move that critics say introduces a whole new host of financial burdens—including high ATM fees and travel costs—when they access cash.
And if you let them get away with limiting access to cash because these are welfare recipients, then you open the door to letting them limit YOUR access to cash, for whatever reason they concoct, to protect the banks!
A Virginia cop who tasered a man sitting in the driver's seat of his car, following it with a ten-second blast of pepper spray into the man's face, was forced to resign last week after his chief said he had used excessive force.
But Fredericksburg police officer Shaun Jergens said he only did it because the man in the car was not complying.
However, David Washington was experiencing a medical emergency, perhaps a diabetic seizure, which is why he struck another vehicle before running over a median and knocking over a city sign.
When the car came to rest, the 34-year-old man remained motionless in his car with the seat belt strapping him in.
"Get out the car or I'm going to fucking smoke you," Jergens yelled after tasering and pepper spraying him.
The runaway surveillance state in America has just taken a leap into the gutter. Or the sewer, actually, where government goons running their fraudulent "war on drugs" have begun to monitor raw sewage for traces of illicit drug use.
The American Chemical Society reports this as GOOD news, saying:
The war on drugs could get a boost with a new method that analyzes sewage to track levels of illicit drug use in local communities in real time. The new study, a first-of-its-kind in the U.S., was published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology and could help law enforcement identify new drug hot spots and monitor whether anti-drug measures are working.
Last November, a post appeared on the blogging platform Medium which claimed that between March 1, 2014 and August 31, 2014 - a period of six months - some 80 employees of London's Metropolitan Police had "travelled to Israel."
This overlaps in part with Israel's unprecedented assault on the Gaza Strip, which lasted from July 8 to August 26. During 'Operation Protective Edge', Israeli armed forces killed some 2,100 Palestinians, including more than 500 children.
Senator Rand Paul successfully rejected the USA PATRIOT Act a little past midnight Saturday morning.

Both Democrats and Republican Senators agreed to be in session next Sunday May 31st (Day before the PATRIOT Act expires). Senator Paul continues to filibuster because there has been no debate and amendments to the bill has been block by McConnell

Druker has also invited the other proponents of GM foods in industry and academia to assist Monsanto so that the response it submits will represent the best collective effort of the products' supporters. He has allotted them two months and set a deadline of July 20. He asserts, "If by that date Monsanto and its allies have not been able to refute the essential factual accuracy of "Altered Genes, Twisted Truth", the world will have a right to assume that it is as sound as the experts who reviewed it have affirmed – and to conclude that the GE food venture is a reckless gamble that must be quickly brought to an end."
In his challenge, Druker pledges to publicly acknowledge any genuine errors that Monsanto can demonstrate and to correct them in the book's next printing. Moreover, he demands that Monsanto display reciprocal responsibility. The challenge notes that a Monsanto brochure sent by Fraley to Dr. Goodall contains several misleading statements, and it decisively demonstrates the falsity of two of the biggest deceptions: the claims (a) that "every respected organization that has examined the evidence" has concluded that GE foods are safe and (b) that "there have been no documented safety issues." Further, it insists that Monsanto promptly acknowledge the misrepresentations and set the record straight.

The United States has the most prisons in the world in order to house the highest number of incarcerated people in the world. 707 per every 100,000 people can be found in a prison.

How this vast prison system evolved is examined by looking back at what there was before modern prisons existed.
The New York Times' coverage of congressional antics related to the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) legislation has ignored so many critical aspects of the bill that it might be time for the "paper of record" to change its motto from "All the news that's fit to print" to "All the news we think fits, we print."
Here's why.
The Pentagon announced on Thursday it is sending 2,000 anti-tank weapons to Iraq, following the rout of U.S.-backed forces in Ramadi by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The weapons will arrive as early as next week, said Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren. He said the U.S. is also expediting the delivery of other equipment, including ammunition and other equipment to counter ISIS's increasing reliance on vehicle-borne bombs.
In the first four months of 2015, attorneys with Palestine Legal responded to 102 requests for legal assistance from students and faculty on college campuses across the country, including from Palestinian rights advocates smeared as "terrorists" or "supporters of terrorism" based solely on speech critical of Israeli policy.
During this period, Palestine Legal documented:
60 incidents involving accusations of anti-Semitism made against students or faculty, based solely on speech critical of Israeli policy.
24 incidents involving accusations of support for terrorism made against students or faculty, based solely on speech critical of Israeli policy.
At this stage, a sane person might be tempted to call it a day on the monetary experiments, especially considering that at this point, the limits have been reached. That is, there are literally no more assets to buy and rates have hit the effective lower bound where rational actors will eschew bank deposits in favor of the mattress. But not so fast, say folks like Citi's Willem Buiter and economist Ken Rogoff: the world could always ban cash because if you eliminate physical currency and force people to use a debit card linked to a government controlled bank account for all transactions, you can effectively centrally plan everything. Consumers not spending? No problem. Just tax their excess account balance. Economy overheating? Again, no problem. Raise the interest paid on account holdings to encourage people to stop spending.

A totalitarian state is only as strong as its informants. And the United States has a lot of them. They read our emails. They listen to, download and store our phone calls. They photograph us on street corners, on subway platforms, in stores, on highways and in public and private buildings. They track us through our electronic devices. They infiltrate our organizations. They entice and facilitate "acts of terrorism" by Muslims, radical environmentalists, activists and Black Bloc anarchists, framing these hapless dissidents and sending them off to prison for years.
In a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush, dated September 23, 1800, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." By any definition that Jefferson could have envisioned, today's political correctness can only be regarded as "tyranny over the mind of man." Forget freedom of association, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, or freedom of privacy, political correctness demands that we don't even have freedom of thought or opinion.
If one does not have the freedom to live in good conscience with his own sense of morality, he or she is indeed the most enslaved of creatures. Listen to Jefferson again, "To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical."

The US Defense Department's watchdog knowingly turned a blind eye to financial irregularities, leading to the Pentagon signing off on an audit. This has led to questions regarding just how transparent the government auditing process actually is. A special investigation by Reuters revealed that a senior member of the Department of Defense's (DoD) Inspector General team had colluded with an independent auditing company, Grant Thornton LLP, to falsely keep the US Marine Corps books clean. The DoD remained the only federal organization that had not abided with a 1992 law passed by Congress to undergo an audit. This was despite the DoD receiving in excess of $500 billion a year, which is by far the largest appropriation of any department.
The U.S. government is becoming less transparent than it has been at any time in our history, as evidenced by pending water legislation in the nation's capital that voters, via their elected representatives, are not permitted to see.
As reported by McClatchy Papers, five months into a new Congress and years into a punishing drought that still continues to ravage most of California, legislation dealing with dwindling supplies of water confounds and splits the state's lawmakers.
Moreover, draft copies of bills are kept so close to the vest that they appear to be a top secret. The myriad details surrounding each draft are constantly changing. Timing to introduce the legislation is not yet settled, although a June 2 Senate hearing might go off as planned. Democrats are divided, and some are just angry.
Sound familiar?
This erosion of opportunities to complete life's stages and core dramas is rarely recognized, much less addressed. The consequences of economic stagnation are not limited to finance: stagnation is causing a social depression. We can best understand this social depression by examining how the natural stages of human life are being disrupted.

I was thinking how humanity could descend to such barbarity around the world. How could African migrants risk their lives to leave countries wrecked psychologically and economically by colonial Europeans to seek to arrive in the same continent that subjugated them? How could Myanmar's Rohingya Muslims be slaughtered in the thousands by the majority Buddhists and surviving people end up in boats and sent back to starve and die at sea rejected by nearby countries including countries like Indonesia with Muslim majorities? How could relatives of Jewish holocaust survivors engage in racism and ethnic cleansing for native Palestinians while relatives of Armenian holocaust survivors lead amazingly rich productive caring lives? How could a very wealthy country like "Saudi Arabia" (the quotes are needed because it is an imposed name for a country stolen by the Saud Family) spend billions to support the US/Israeli agenda of destruction and mayhem in countries like Yemen and Syria?
Two Manhattan DEA employees secretly owned a low-rent strip club in South Hackensack, NJ, that employed illegal immigrants from Brazil and Russia as dancers, the feds say in a new criminal complaint.

GM has joined with John Deere in asking the government to confirm that you literally cannot own your car because of the software in its engine. Like Deere, GM wants to stop the Copyright Office from granting an exemption to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that would allow you to jailbreak the code in your car's engine so that you can take it to a non-GM mechanic for service, or fix it yourself. By controlling who can service your car, GM can force you to buy only official, expensive parts, protecting its bottom line.
U.S. government attempts to inform consumers about the origins of the beef and pork they purchase in stores have been undermined by the World Trade Organization (WTO). Siding with officials from Canada and Mexico, the WTO ruled that American regulations that require the meat industry to use country of origin labels (COOL) represent a violation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). COOLs are intended to tell shoppers in which country the meat they buy was born, raised and slaughtered. In addition to letting consumers know if the meat was produced locally, they gave regulators a way to begin tracing the meat in case of a problem with it.

The National Security Agency and its closest allies planned to hijack data links to Google and Samsung app stores to infect smartphones with spyware, a top-secret document reveals.
The surveillance project was launched by a joint electronic eavesdropping unit called the Network Tradecraft Advancement Team, which includes spies from each of the countries in the "Five Eyes" alliance — the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia.
The top-secret document, obtained from NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, was published Wednesday by CBC News in collaboration with The Intercept. The document outlines a series of tactics that the NSA and its counterparts in the Five Eyes were working on during workshops held in Australia and Canada between November 2011 and February 2012.

Model pools data from across departments to forecast most at-risk children — but some experts are cautious.
A mathematical model designed to predict children at risk of abuse will be trialled with data about children reported to Child, Youth and Family.
The model predicts which children will suffer substantiated child abuse or neglect based on 132 factors drawn from cross-departmental records, including the parents' ages, their criminal records, their own history of being abused as children, and recorded family violence.
Initial testing by the Social Development Ministry, looking at the 5 per cent of children born in 2007 who would have been rated at highest risk in the model, found that 31 per cent suffered substantiated maltreatment by age 5. That figure was projected to rise to 40 per cent by age 10, but still meant 60 per cent would have been targeted unnecessarily ("false positives").
The minutes of The Federal Reserve's April policy-setting meeting showed that doubts about the strength of the US economy grew.
Even before the minutes were released, markets had come to expect that a rate rise in June looked doubtful, on the back of recent lacklustre economic data.
Here's what economists took away from the latest Fed minutes.
(*Didn't they kill him , already ? I thought they told us they killed him already .)
To summarize the domestic and international situation — not only is the U.S. government waging a new Cold War abroad with Russia and China, but there's abundant evidence it's also entering a 'cold war' with large parts of the American population. As during the first Cold War, with the rise of what President Dwight Eisenhower called 'the military industrial complex',27 the external 'Cold War 2.0' is supplementing the post-9/11 'War on Terror' as a driver of enhanced government power at home. Consider:
1) The U.S. is in a second Cold War with Russia and China it initiated in Syria, Ukraine and now with the 'pivot to Asia', in order to defend the dollar's world reserve currency status.......
The official White House website includes the President George W. Bush historical archives. On top of the page is a message that notes "This is historical material, "frozen in time." The web site is no longer updated and links to external web sites and some internal pages will not work." This particular press conference was held on March 13, 2002, a mere six months after the purported "terrorist" attacks of 9/11/01.
In it, Bush was asked "Mr. President, in your speeches now you rarely talk or mention Osama bin Laden. Why is that? Also, can you tell the American people if you have any more information, if you know if he is dead or alive?"
Bush replied "Deep in my heart I know the man is on the run, if he's alive at all. Who knows if he's hiding in some cave or not; we haven't heard from him in a long time. Terror is bigger than one person... I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him."
In July 2012, KFOX14 anchor Erika Castillo reported on the story of the mysterious circumstances surrounded the death of Sgt. James Brown while he was in jail.? An active-duty Fort Bliss soldier self-reported for a two day DWI sentence at the El Paso County Jail in 2012 but died before he saw the light of day or his family again.
I'm not sure what the average sentence is for child abusers, but I think it is more than 50 weekend days at the county jail.
In celebration of the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend, the U.S. Federal government has reminded the public of their rights under the U.S. Constitution. Top among the gems is this one: What is the "rule of law"?
• Everyone must follow the law.
• Leaders must obey the law.
• Government must obey the law.
• No one is above the law.
The audio of these Q & A's are provided by the U.S. federal government, available in CD and MP3 form. The computer lady voice makes it sound even more quaint, don't you think? She could almost be a libertarian.
Pretty much everybody in American politics now agrees that the Iraq War was not a great idea. The source of disagreement has moved, instead, to a different question: Was it a failure, or a crime? Republicans insist the Bush administration was merely the victim of bad intelligence. "I still say it was not a mistake," says Marco Rubio, "because the president was presented with intelligence that said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction."
Liberal critics reject the honest-mistake explanation.
So do conservative critics!
The President has "worked himself into such a tizzy over the TPP." While his progressive friends in Congress are questioning the secret trade agreement, Obama is lashing out at them in a pathetic show of presidential petulance.
Oregon to test pay-per-mile idea as replacement for gas tax

You might not think that an academic computer science course could be classified as an export of military technology. But under the Defence Trade Controls Act – which passed into law in April, and will come into force next year – there is a real possibility that even seemingly innocuous educational and research activities could fall foul of Australian defence export control laws.
Under these laws, such "supplies of technology" come under a censorship regime involving criminal penalties of up to ten years imprisonment. How could this be?
Was it something I said?!? :)
What do you do with a lawless, criminal rogue government with no chance of reform? Maybe it boils down to just cussing them out.
U.S. v Martinez-Fuerte states: "We have held that checkpoint searches are constitutional only if justified by consent or probable cause to search... And our holding today is limited to the type of stops described in this opinion. Any further detention... must be based on consent or probable cause."
Despite this, rogue Department of Homeland Security agents continue to ignore the law, the Constitution, and U.S. Supreme Court rulings. In a recorded exchange at the notorious Laredo, TX warrantless checkpoint yesterday, this prompted a fed-up driver to unleash a profanity-laced tirade against the obnoxious agent, demanding the officer's supervisor. Two supervisors came rushing up, one recording the scene with a video camera attached to an extension pole.
We had some secondhand inkling that the "counterintelligence" operations discussed at previous meetings —
They seemed a lot more like the province of "agents," frankly, and quite a bit closer to COINTELPRO rhetoric than we were comfortable with.
I sometimes read that drone strikes are counterproductive to western security interests because each person killed by a drone results in more new 'terrorists'. See, for example, 'The more civilians US drones kill in the Mideast, the more radicals they create'. http://rt.com/op-edge/252705-drone-operation-us-strategy-military/
However, this analysis completely fails to understand what is driving elite military policy, carried out by the United States elite and key elite allies within NATO and elsewhere. In brief: drone strikes work precisely because they provoke violent responses which help elites to 'justify' their perpetual war to secure control of the world's diminishing supplies of fossil fuels, water and strategic minerals while tightening control of domestic populations through expansion of the security and surveillance state.
Since the crash, British politics has been one epic act of misdirection. Lay off those bankers who shoved the country into penury! Just focus on stripping disabled people of their benefits. Never mind the millionaire bosses squeezing your pay! Spit instead at the minimum-wage migrant cleaners apparently making us poorer. So ingrained is the ritual that when a minister strides into view urging the need for "a grown-up debate", we brace ourselves for another round of Blame the Victim. The only question is who gets sacrificed next: some ethnic minority, this family on low pay, that middle-aged dad who can't get a job.
Here is how political misdirection works in real time.'
Sixty false allegations of anti-Semitism have been recorded against students or faculty in the US since January "based solely on speech critical of Israeli policy," according to a study by lawyers.
Attorneys with Palestine Solidarity Legal Support (PSLS) published a report on Monday documenting 84 incidents of repression on college campuses across the US from 1 January to 30 April in which Palestine solidarity activists and professors were targeted or smeared because of their criticism of Israel.

As one example of the opaque link between NSA money and punditry, take the words of Stewart Baker, who was general counsel to the NSA from 1992 through 1994. During a Senate committee hearing last summer on one of the reform bills now before Congress, the USA FREEDOM Act, which would partially limit mass surveillance of telephone metadata, Baker essentially said the bill would aid terrorists.
"First, I do not believe we should end the bulk collection program," he told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. "It will put us at risk. It will, as Senator King strongly suggested, slow our responses to serious terrorist incidents. And it is a leap into the dark with respect to this data."

Collectivism is a bastardization and manipulation of the inherent desire most people have to build connections to those around them. It takes the concept of community to the extreme end of the spectrum, and in the process, removes all that was originally good about it. In a collectivist system, individualism becomes a threat

Whereas Guatemala has 40 per cent forest cover, El Salvador has only 13 per cent, two per cent of which is indigenous forest growth. According to Cortez, the country is entering into a period of severe water stress, with more than 90 per cent of surface waters contaminated.
With this crisis on the horizon, Salvadorans have been demanding a halt to all mining in the country. Over seven years, three successive Salvadoran governments have responded to these broad-based anti-mining movements by upholding a defacto moratorium on new metal mining projects.
When in 2008, then-president Saca denied permits to Canadian mining company Pacific Rim, the country found itself caught in a web of international corporate law and free trade agreements. OceanaGold bought Pacific Rim in 2013 and has taken up the former company's mantle, continuing to pursue the $301 million lawsuit against El Salvador.
The state of Texas used to be its own country and is both bigger and more populous than many of the nations in the rest of the world.
So if any state is going to fight the power-grabbing agenda of the United Nations, it's likely to be the Lone Star State.
Texas is doing just that by introducing Senate Bill 445, legislation that would ban implementation of the controversial United Nations "Agenda 21? program within the state's boundaries.
Getting ready to sew chaos at the appropriate moment?
As we approach Democratic Socialism, all power is being centralized at the apex of the executive branch of the federal government. This concentration of power makes a dictatorship inevitable.
This week, it was reported by the Guardiann that "Trekkies", or Star Trek fanatics, were labeled as a possible threat by British police. A hidden Scotland Yard document has recently revealed that police feared that Sci-Fi fans could potentially "turn on society" or "start a cult."
The file was undated, but it is alleged to have originated around 1998 or 1999. The document also listed concern about other popular shows at the time such as X-Files.
It is said that the correct answer for the test was "they have constitutions that limit their power," however the very first thing mentioned within the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, is the ability of the state to violate those "protected rights" which are supposed to be "guaranteed," whenever the violation is done so within "reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society." They can violate your rights when they see the action to be fitting to their cause.
Mother and substitute teacher Julie Giles was arrested this week because her son had too many unexcused absences from public school.
Writing on her Facebook page before turning herself in, Giles said "If anyone feels the need to go public with this feel free to do so….the facts are Sam originally had what they consider 12 unexcused absences, 6 are allowed per year, so he had 6 more than is acceptable, but the doctor reissued 3 excuses that Sam didn't turn in, so basically I am being arrested for THREE days."
She also noted that her child has all A's and B's in school.

2003 Ford Focus Q&A
2003 Ford Focus Question: Car has P0135 02 Heater Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1 code.
Wires look good, and the 18 fuse is good. Should I replce the 02 sensor? Duh, right? How to replace the 02 sensor? Engire light just came on yesterday. Read the code using a code reader. The car is running like normal, maybe using a little more gas than normal in the last few days. - rossbs6
Answer 1
Test for battery voltage to the sensors heater circuit. If OK then ohm heater circuit. Should be 3-30 ohms. If it's not replace sensor. To replace the sensor use an oxygen sensor socket and with a warm engine - not hot, not cold - remove sensor. Keep in mind... I'm in Florida so I don't have rust issues like you might. You might be better off taking it to a shop incase it needs to be heated up to get out. You don't want to round off the sensor or strip the treads in the exhaust. That will get expensive to repair. - Justin Case Auto

Humanity has always understood that abolishing is essential for peace, but without insight as to what we should be abolishing. It's things such as ignorance and government. Not those who fall into those categories, but the categories themselves need to be destroyed. Unfortunately, those concepts are inevitable, and therefor peace is chimera. So be at peace with the world, rather than try to have the world be at peace with itself.

The 20 Best Timbaland Beats
Justin Timberlake is back in the spotlight with his acclaimed new album, The 20/20 Experience. The disc, his first in six years, dropped last Tuesday and is expected to sell nearly a million records, easily landing him yet another No. 1. But he didn't do it alone: The album is produced by long-time collaborator Timbaland, who laced JT with lush, futuristic-soul beats. Not that we should expect anything less — Timbaland is one of the most important hip hop, R&B and pop producers of the past quarter-century. Here, in honor of his big win with Justin, we sift through Timbaland's seemingly endless catalog of hits and list his 20 best beats. —Alex Gale (Photo: Jerritt Clark/FilmMagic)

Designed and created by Douglas Monroe
("Dougmon"—get it?), this "small camera
and DSLR solution" allows the user to
shoot handheld for an extended period of
time with extra support where it is needed
most. When used in conjunction with
the Slingmon accessory, you can shoot for
hours comfortably without needing Popeye's
arms and several cans of spinach.
So, what exactly is a Dougmon?
It's a camera support system that was
designed with documentary, news, wedding
and reality TV shooting in mind, and it
certainly makes a shooter's life easier. Your
torso only moves so far (some of us have
less range than others), and most shouldermounted
systems limit you to that range. Extending
the Dougmon to monopod mode,
you can shoot over your head, or reversing
it, almost at ground level.
I immediately knew upon its arrival
that the Dougmon had been invented by
a shooter. It's designed to be used by righthanded
operators (a left-handed version is
in the works), with an adjustable arm that
extends to fi t the forearm of any size user
and which sports a cushion that straps securely
to the operator's forearm.
The gear arrived in a red and black
mesh bag and once its drawstring was
opened the fi rst piece of business was attaching
the camera to the supplied plate.
Two screws are available to fi t most any
size camera, and I was easily able to remove
the larger screw and set it in a safe place,
as the smaller screw was the correct fi t for
the Nikon D800 I elected to use to test the
Dougmon. There was nothing complicated
about attaching the camera. Actually, it was
extremely diffi cult not to mount the plate
on the Dougmon correctly. An arrow clearly
shows the insertion path and a tightening
knob secures the plate to the hand mount.
There are only three other personal adjustments
to make.
The Dougmon is worn with the adjustable
bar against your inside forearm, the side
that would normally rest against your stomach.
This is clearly shown in the instructions,
and if you put it on backwards (with the bar
on the outside of your forearm), you'll fi nd
that your range of motion is limited. (You
want the name "Dougmon" facing you.) An
adjusting knob slides the hand grip in or
out, to accommodate any length of forearm.
A padded, adjustable strap at the end wraps
around your forearm for a snug fi t. The third
and last adjustment is a knob at the base of
the hand grip which controls the tension to
the friction ball in the center of the hand
grip. Loosening this gives you the range of
motion needed for shooting. When attached
to your arm, the Dougmon has the look of a
robotic stabilization device, or at least something
mildly bionic.
I was anxious to try out the Dougmon on
a shoot I had set up on a beach in Maine. A
Nikon D800 with a 24 to 70 mm f-2.8 lens
was the DSLR of choice for the shoot, and
handholding a camera of this girth quickly
becomes uncomfortable. I found that with
the camera mounted to the Dougmon, it
was as easy to pan, tilt, and maneuver it as if
it weren't attached to anything. I really felt
no constraints on camera movement. And
ulike other stabilizing devices, it took no
practice to use the Dougmon properly.
With the Dougmon, most of the camera's
weight is distributed over the length of your
forearm. Although practice is not required,
stamina is—as it should be when shooting
anything. You are not tied down to a tripod,
and although the images are not "Steadicam
smooth," they do look quite good for handheld
shots. Running and jumping over rocks
among the waves was simple; however, the
stares from the beachcombers were disconcerting
when they saw me doing this.
Although after a few moments of watching
me, they realized what the Dougmon was
meant for and went on with their business.
The Slingmon is a lifesaver when used
with the Dougmon. After being involved in
beach shooting for more than an hour, the
Slingmon really came in handy, providing
me with a place for the camera system to
be put in "pause" for a moment.
While the Dougmon system isn't the
perfect end-all in handheld shooting, it is
extremely easy to use and master. And as
with any tool in our industry, it does have
a specifi c purpose. If you really aren't able
to shoot a smooth handheld shot to save
your life, then the Dougmon and Slingmon
will make you a smoother shooter. On the
other hand, if you're blessed with the ability
to shoot handheld and to hold the shot
steady, then this combo will allow you to do
it for extended periods of time while allowing
your smooth expertise to shine through.
If you need to shoot without a tripod
for extended periods of time and must be
mobile, the Dougmon and Slingmon will
allow you to accomplish such a feat quite
easily. The comfortable device is inexpensive,
mounts or dismounts in moments, and
has the shortest learning curve of any such
device I've encountered in quite a while.
Rarely in this business does "one size fi ts all"
apply, but for the Dougmon, it really does.

The consequences of endogenizing information for the performance of a sequential decision procedure
Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization , Volume 65 - Issue 3-4 p. 667- 681
We analyse the implications of endogenizing information collection and reputational concerns for the performance of a sequential decision structure. In this model, two agents decide in a sequence whether to implement a public project. The cost of gathering information is private. We derive two results. First, endogenizing information replaces the herding problem with a free-rider problem. Second, endogenizing information aggravates the distortionary effect of reputational concerns.

Author has written 14 stories for Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Twilight, Doctor Who, and Big Bang Theory.
I'm a fan of fan fiction! I'm also currently into Doctor Who rather obsessively. I'm always working on Doctor Who fan fiction stories. I've recently added Big Bang Theory to my list of TV series writing inspirations. All in the name of fun! I'm a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan from years back. I also had a brief inspiration by the Twilight book series. Happy reading and writing to all!
A special thanks to: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/3281033/AlternativeParadise for creating a piece of art work based off of one of my stories! I'm very appreciative of her and her work. She worked hard, so stop on by her deviantart site to check it out, and some of her other great works:
Loves -
All creative stories, even if they don't fit smoothly into the series they represent.
I also love stories that follow direct episodes or story lines from series, because I enjoy seeing other perspectives on events that I love to watch.
Constructive criticism - aimed at actually helping offer real advice to a writer for their story. People who offer it in tactful and nice ways are respected by me.
Pet Peeves -
Criticism based on the mere fact that you don't like the story, couples in the story, or angle of the story you are criticizing. If something isn't your cup of tea, that's one thing, but not a reason to rip someone's idea apart.
Writing Weaknesses -
I always finish a story I publish on here. So, never assume I've abandoned a story just because I haven't updated it in months. I always come back to it, determined. I do and will finish. But I often take a good, long while to do so.
I struggle at writing action scenes and visual descriptions, but I am slowly improving, and I do try!
Writing Strengths -
I'm pretty decent at working with canon characters and keeping them fairly canon for the most part. Though sometimes I can veer off, just as anyone can.
I do fairly well at character's inner thoughts, feelings, and passions.
I'm a Sucker For -
Cliff hangers
Timey Wimey Twists and Turns
These can be considered a strength or a weakness, depending on your preferences.
Disclaimer - I do not own the rights to any characters from any of the TV shows, Movies, or Books I might borrow and play with from time to time. All I own are my made up characters, my imagination, and my insanity.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In the fourth quarter, when he had shook off the nerves and rust and finally found his legs, John Wall starting yelling: "I'm back."
'I'm back': Wall has 14; Wizards top Hawks 93-83
"That's what I was saying the whole time," Wall said. "To anybody. I was just happy to be playing basketball. To whoever was in my way, that's what I was saying."
Wall made his season debut Saturday night, giving his teammates a lift with 14 points and four assists in 21 minutes, highlighted by a left-handed behind-the-back assist when the Washington Wizards were putting the game away in the final minutes.
Saturday night's 93-83 victory over the Atlanta Hawks gave the worst-in-NBA Wizards their first winning streak of the season, and a psychological high point now that their franchise player is healthy again.
"Still the same year," Wizards guard A.J. Price said. "But definitely new life."
Trying not to get carried away in his return from a knee injury, Wall went 5 for 11 from the field and 4 for 5 from the free-throw line, saluting the crowd as they gave him a standing ovation when he entered with 4:56 remaining in the first quarter, and again when he fed rookie Bradley Beal for a fast-break dunk, and one more time at the final whistle.
"I was just nervous to see how I would feel. ... My homeboys-slash-brothers were joking, happy the whole day," Wall said. "I'm just trying to stay calm and take a nap."
Although his playing time will be limited while he gets himself in full playing shape, Wall appeared to have his old speed and explosiveness back. It was his first time teaming with No. 3 overall draft pick Beal, and they gave the fans a taste of the speedy backcourt they had waited so long to see.
"The game is different now," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said.
Beal and Price finished with 16 points apiece, and Martell Webster added 15 for the Wizards, who are 6-28 but have strung together two wins in a row following their upset of Oklahoma City on Monday.
Jeff Teague scored 19 points, Al Horford had 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Josh Smith added 11 points for the Hawks, who trailed the entire second half and have lost five of six. Atlanta had won 18 of its previous 19 against Washington, including six in a row.
The Hawks were let down by their defense and took too many 3-point shots (24), but Wall was a difference as well.

'We will have our Alpha 76 on display'http://cheoyleena.com/yachts.php?sec=2670&id=11255does anyone plan on going to this event?
>>What is the capacity of Hitachi's production line and what is the volume of orders they've received? What is the price exactly that needs to be lowered? Or are you basing your "analysis" on stuff you completely made up, based on zero facts whatso ever?<<4.3 mil sq/ft per yearor358,333 sq/ft per monthor82,692 sq/ft per weekLast reported price between $100-125 per sq/ft which is about right with markups you get the $2500 option price on the slk/sl Should be able to get an estimated volume number with the earnings report.Talking to contractors in the architectural field, they won't even touch it at this price. And the reason we still haven't seen a second OEM yet.....you got it....the price.If you want to say I made it up that's fine. But with the limited info you must use other factors as well, such as the stock price.I'm a shareholder not a cheerleader.

I'm a little confused. Which one of those windows would I be able to use in my car's side windows or sunvisor? Which one would I be able to still enjoy my view and still be able to block the light?
Those spd windows look fantastic !!!!thanks for the post
Here is a better video of the Cheoy Lee cabin with SPD. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HECyhkV92-8&feature=related They also state three more larger models up to 87' based on the success of the Alpha. Do you think other yacht manufacturers have been aboard? Do you think they noticed the windows? Do you think the price of SPD Smart glass would deter someone who is spending two to seven million dollars for a cutting edge yacht or do they just want the hottest, newest, best, ( think 24k gold SL's ).
De Basto integrated the exterior lines and the sliding sunroof with the salon overhead and the mullions to converge in a centerline vanishing point. These forward mullions also eliminate the need for large corner pillars to support the superstructure, creating a true 360-degree view from anywhere on the main deck.The expansive views extend to the lower deck. "The exterior design offered very large windows in the owner's stateroom, and I wanted to take advantage of leaving them completely open on both sides," says De Basto. "On both decks, I wanted to celebrate the shape of the windows; no curtain would really work. On another boat I had done, the solution was to use privacy glass to completely avoid the use of curtains. On this project, Cheoy Lee was already exploring the use of new glass that is both dimmable and clear or opaque. With the Alpha 76 we can offer full control of sunlight and privacy without curtains." Indeed, the windows in the superstructure and stateroom feature the newest generation of the so-called "smart glass." Technology developed by the U.S. firm Research Frontiers and licensed to Canadian manufacturer Diamond Sea Glaze allows the glass to transition to a darker color to keep out heat, light and UV rays. Unlike passive photo-reactive glass,SPD Smart Glass uses an electrical current to precisely control the amount of daylight entering the interior and can also switch to opaque for privacy. The streamlined theme continues through the decor with high-gloss cabinetry without visible hardware and chic cabin doors, nightstands and cabinets clad in stitched leather like high-end luggage. Lo says that the Alpha 76 will be followed next year with a flybridge version and in two years by an 86-foot version and then an 86 flybridge. "We believe this is a market we should be in and we are heavily invested in it. The designs are complete and construction is beginning."

The Arnhem or Aernem[1] was a Dutch East Indiaman sailing vessel that featured in several notable historical events.
Named after the city of Arnhem in the Netherlands, the Arnhem was shipwrecked off Mauritius on 12 February 1662. Volkert Evertsz and other survivors of the wreck came ashore on an islet and are thought to have been the last humans to see live dodos. The ship was captained by Captain Pieter Anthoniszoon The Arnhem was one of seven VOC ships that left Batavia on 23 December 1661, homeward bound via the Cape of Good Hope. The other vessels were the Wapen van Holland, Prins Willem, Vogel Phoenix, Maarsseveen, Prinses Royal and Gekroonde Leeuw.
On 11 February 1662 the fleet was scattered by a violent storm. The Wapen van Holland (920 tons), Gekroonde Leeuw (1,200 tons) and Prins Willem (1,200 tons) disappeared without trace. The following day Arnhem ran aground on the Saint Brandon Rocks (also known as Cargados Carajos), a group of atolls and reefs some 200 kilometres north-east of Mauritius.[2]
