Ron Paul: The Internet Revolution is a Liberty Revolution

Posted on by

“Thanks to the Internet, it is easier than ever before for liberty activists to spread news and other information regarding the evils of government power and the benefits of freedom. For the first time in human history, supporters of liberty around the world can share information across borders quickly and cheaply. Without the filter of government censors, this information emboldens millions to question governments and promote liberty.  This is why liberty-minded Americans must do everything possible to oppose − and stop − government attempts to censor or limit the free flow of information online.”

UN Shoe Drops on Internet Terror

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/cyber1.jpg

“United Nations report calls for Internet surveillance, saying lack of ‘internationally agreed framework for retention of data’ is a problem, as are open Wi-Fi networks in airports, cafes, and libraries. The United Nations is calling for more surveillance of Internet users, saying it would help to investigate and prosecute terrorists. What are the organizations behind the suggestion of a ‘global surveillance state?’ The article writes that the UN report was ‘produced in collaboration with the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force, which counts the World Bank, Interpol, the World Health Organization, and the International Monetary Fund as members.'”

Boy ordered to change schools for carrying cystic fibrosis gene

Posted on by

“School officials said they believe 11-year-old Colman Chadam’s genetic makeup may put other students at risk and ordered him to move from Palo Alto’s Jordan Middle School to another district middle school three miles away after his parents disclosed his condition on a medical form in the beginning of the school year.  Colman has never had the lung problems associated with the disease, has never required treatment and tested negative on a sweat test, which is the definitive diagnostic test. The Chadmans said they only disclosed his condition out of an ‘overabundance of caution’.”

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/maskedOfficer2.jpg

“In a case that would appear to raise First Amendment questions, a Mesquite, Texas, woman has been arrested and charged with a felony after she allegedly posted a photograph of an undercover narcotics officer on Facebook and identified him as a narc. Melissa Walthall, 30, was charged with felony retaliation after Mesquite police deemed her post ‘a viable threat to the officer’s safety.’ The photo was copied from the officer’s own Facebook page.”

NYPD informant who tracked militants quits, denounces police

Posted on by

“The informant, a 19-year-old American citizen of Bangladeshi descent, was recruited by the NYPD recently as part of an expansive intelligence-gathering program the department launched after the al Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001. His assignment was to make contact with suspected Islamic extremists to try to determine if they had any inclinations to engage in violence.  On October 2, however, the informant, whom the source did not name, posted a message on his personal Facebook page exposing himself as an informant to people he had been in contact with. He declared that he had quit as a police informant.”

Dept. of Veterans Affairs spent millions on PC software it couldn’t use

Posted on by

“After removable hard disks containing unencrypted personal identifying information of 26 million military veterans were stolen from the home of a VA employee in 2006, then-Secretary of Veterans Affairs R. James Nicholson mandated that the VA’s Office of Information Technology install encryption software on all of the department’s notebook and desktop computers. But while the VA purchased 400,000 licensees for Symantec’s Guardian Edge encryption software, more than 84 percent of those licenses—worth about $5.1 million, including the maintenance contracts for them—remain uninstalled.”

UK to double number of drones in Afghanistan

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/MQ-9-Reaper-drone-via-USAF2.jpg

“The UK is to double the number of armed RAF ‘drones’ flying combat and surveillance operations in Afghanistan and, for the first time, the aircraft will be controlled from terminals and screens in Britain.  Pilots based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire will fly the recently bought American-made UAVs at a hi-tech hub built on the site in the past 18 months.  The most recent figures from the Ministry of Defence show that, by the end of September, the UK’s five Reapers in Afghanistan had flown 39,628 hours and fired 334 laser-guided Hellfire missiles and bombs at suspected insurgents.”

Romney on drones: ‘Use any and all means necessary to take out’ enemies

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/cnn_debate_bayonettes_121022e-615x3452.jpg

“I believe we should use any and all means necessary to take out people who pose a threat to us and our friends around the world.  And it’s widely reported that drones are being used in drone strikes, and I support that and entirely, and feel the president was right to up the usage of that technology, and believe that we should continue to use it, to continue to go after the people that represent a threat to this nation and to our friends.”

Crew Demonstrates Technology Aimed To Pinpoint Terrorists At Large Events

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/19885239_BG11.jpg

“This technology has been used in the military but is now available here at home.  Tulsa police sniper Perry Lewis was perched on top of the Case Center at the south end of TU’s Chapman Stadium.  The sensors triangulate and almost immediately, a dot appears on the screen to show where Perry is and the information could pop up on every officer’s smartphone and pad in the stadium, so they know where to go.  If cameras are hooked up, they could get a picture of the sniper, beam it through satellite to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and if he’s in the system, police have the guy’s name and an address within minutes.”
