(Crowhouse) – Surviving the Matrix – August 16th, 2013

(TruthStreamMedia) – The Los Angeles coroner has released the report on Michael Hastings’ untimely death, and it would appear the document will be milked for all the damage control propaganda it is worth.

Dancing in step to the establishment tune on cue, the mainstream media has jumped all over another excuse to titillate its audience with the second act of the spectacle we are currently witnessing. View this entry »

(TYT) – A TIME magazine reporter caused ire on Twitter Saturday night when he said that he “can’t wait to write a defense of the drone strike that takes out” Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Michael Grunwald’s tweet, since deleted, was quickly met with outrage and bewilderment. Glenn Greenwald, who recently broke several revelations about NSA surveillance programs based on documents provided to him by leaker Edward Snowden, was particularly vocal in expressing his disgust with Grunwald’s statement…”.* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

() – The use of drones has now become common knowledge to the extent that they are being embraced in a number of commercial applications such as real estate, media (paparazzi), and delivering pizzas (once regulators give clearance.) One enthusiast even delivered the rings to his brother’s wedding. Everyone in attendance reportedly thought “it was pretty awesome.” (Source) View this entry »

Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe. Throughout space there is energy. — Nikola Tesla, 1892

(ActivistPost0 – When Tesla invented the first wireless communication device, he also discovered a form of free energy radiating throughout the whole universe.  He planned on displaying wireless electric power with his Wardenclyffe Tower until it was sabotaged by financier J.P. Morgan.

Tesla conceded that his World Power System project was “retarded by laws of nature. The world was not prepared for it. It was too far ahead of time. But the same laws will prevail in the end and make it a triumphal success.” View this entry »

(RussiaToday) – The Trans-Pacific Partnership is the proposed trade deal between 12 countries. Since the Bush administration, leaders of these 12 countries have mostly met in secret to discuss and on Thursday another round of talks will take place. If the TPP deal is completed it could have alarming effects on people’s access to medicine, online freedoms and financial regulations.

(SJLendman) – Iraq war rules of engagement (ROE) were explicit. They ordered killing every military-aged Iraqi on sight. Afghanistan policy is similar.

Drone wars reflect it. Baseless suspicion leaves innocent civilians vulnerable. Point-and-click death awaits them. There’s no place to hide. View this entry »

(IngeniousPress) – Does anybody remember Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith? It was the final chapter of George Lucas’ admittedly underwhelming prequel trilogy, which became somewhat infamous back in the summer of 2005 for having dialogue and themes which closely paralleled the policies of the Bush Administration, and for being a subliminal left-wing critique of the American Empire in general.

(ActivistPost) – The drone arms race has gone global. But inside the United States, a study by the Association For Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) showed why drone proliferation continues to ramp up at a nearly exponential rate: it has become one of the fastest growing areas of the U.S. economy. A report entitled, “The Economic Impact of Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration in the United States” is clear in its conclusion that competition for jobs and tax dollars created by drone tech development is likely to provide the impetus to loosen state regulations on drone use. The AUVSI latest projection is that well over 100,00 new jobs will be created in the first years of full integration. View this entry »

(BenSwann) – Can a government agency block criticism by claiming copyright infringement? Sounds a bit ridiculous but it is happening. The NSA is effectively stopping one small business owner from criticism, claiming that by using its name he has infringed on their copyright.

Can they do that?

(ActivistPost) – In yet another example of the organized and violent nature of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood protesters, yesterday’s report by the Guardian[1]regarding the capture and murder of 25 Egyptian police officers goes some length in demonstrating the fact that the Brotherhood participants are not democracy-loving peaceful activists, an idea that has unfortunately been promoted by the mainstream media since the beginning of the crisis.

Knowing that there are technologies that enable a person’s thoughts to be disrupted at a distance, should we be taking a closer look at this phenomenon?

(GetMindSmart) – In 2011, the Daily Mail (in the UK) published an article, asking “Are secret U.S. army tests to blame for TV presenters speaking utter gibberish?”, and described the incidents as “a string of American and Canadian TV presenters dissolving on-air into unintelligible gobbledygook, their distress obvious as they try but fail to stop themselves blurting out a train of disconnected words, before the producers cut to something else”.

(EndTheLie) – In an undated National Security Agency (NSA) factsheet, the agency recommends having the built-in iSight webcam on Apple computers physically removed as a security measure.

This press release from NIST shows how the government is advancing biometric identification measures

(ActivistPost) – A new report by biometric researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses data from thousands of frequent travelers enrolled in an iris recognition program to determine that no consistent change occurs in the distinguishing texture of their irises for at least a decade. These findings inform identity program administrators on how often iris images need to be recaptured to maintain accuracy. View this entry »

(EFF) – In the ongoing legal battle between craigslist and 3taps, a new court opinion makes clear that people are “authorized” under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) to access a public website. But what the court gave with one hand it took with the other, as it also ruled that sending a cease-and-desist letter and blocking an IP address is enough to “revoke” this authorization.

(ActivistPost) – As we look around at the Police State being built across the world, combined with enhanced mind control techniques, it is easy to draw direct parallels with books like 1984 and Brave New World.

A world without democracy, ruled by a technocratic elite serving the interests of US and global capital - protecting “investor rights” against national laws and regulations - is now being created in secret negotiations over free-trade treaties, one of which, the TransPacific Parnership (TPP), may be sewn up this fall. Can popular will stop it?

(Truthout) – For four decades now, we have seen corporate-led neoliberal globalization transforming nation-states into globalized states that serve the interests of transnational capital above the interests of national populations. This tendency has been strong in states both of the global North and of the global South. Everywhere sovereignty is being compromised. The ideal political system most suitable for such globalized states is polyarchy, since it legitimates relatively autonomous elite rule. However, even in such a managed “democracy,” there are moments when elites can be made accountable to national populations through the struggles of social movements. Occupy Wall Street was the beginning of such a social movement. View this entry »

(WarIsACrime) – In court papers filed today (PDF), the United States Department of Justice requested that George W.

(AmericanDream) – If you believe that China is our “friend”, then you have been deceived.  While U.S. politicians, the mainstream media and the U.S. military may consider China to be a “friend” and a “partner”, the Chinese see things very, very differently.  As you will see below, documents produced at the highest levels of the Chinese government make it abundantly clear that China considers the United States to be a mortal enemy.  Unfortunately, in the west we have naively assumed that if we opened up trade with China that they would want to be more like us.  Instead, opening up trade with China has allowed them to severely damage us economically while continuing to loudly denounce “western constitutional democracy” at the same time.

(ZeroHedge) – The NSA - which possesses only limited legal authority to spy on U.S. citizens - has, according to the Wall Street Journal, built a surveillance network that covers more Americans’ Internet communications than officials have publicly disclosed, current and former officials say.

(EconomicCollapse) – Barack Obama has been running around the country taking credit for an “economic recovery”, but the truth is that things have not gotten better under Obama.  Compared to when he first took office, a smaller percentage of the working age population is employed, the quality of our jobs has declined substantially and the middle class has been absolutely shredded.  If we are really in the middle of an “economic recovery”, why is the homeownership rate the lowest that it has been in 18 years?  View this entry »

Portrayal of Hastings as drug abuser skirts truth about crash

(WashingtonsBlog) – An ocean current called the North Pacific Gyre is bringing Japanese radiation to the West Coast of North America:

While many people assume that the ocean will dilute the Fukushima radiation, a previously-secret 1955 U.S. government report concluded that the ocean may not adequately dilute radiation from nuclear accidents, and there could be “pockets” and “streams” of highly-concentrated radiation.
