Billions in Afghan aid could be wasted: U.S. inspector

“Billions of dollars in American assistance to Afghanistan could ultimately go to waste without better planning and security in the war-torn nation, a US investigator said Thursday.  Despite US commanders’ talk of progress in Afghanistan, Sopko said that it was becoming more difficult for inspectors to head into the field to ascertain that US money was being well spent.  Sopko accused both the Pentagon and the US Agency for International Development of lacking long-range plans on where and why they were building projects and of often failing to ensure quality standards.”

Petition Launched Calling for Audit of US Gold Supply

Posted on by

“Perform an assayed public audit of all the Treasury’s claimed 8,100 tons of gold and net of swaps, loans & sales. As of 12/31/2012 the US Treasury claims to hold 261 million ounces of gold at Denver, Fort Knox, West Point and at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This bullion was last subjected to a full physical audit in 1953. The gold bars need to be assayed and weighed. Once the gold is verified the paper trail must be audited to determine who really owns the gold; i.e. how much has been loaned to bankers and dealers and sold or swapped to non-Treasury entities including foreign governments.”

The Trillion Dollar Coin Is a Great Idea!

Posted on by

“Today, unlike in the past, over 150 central banks print money recklessly. The Federal Reserve is surely the worst offender because of the dollar’s reserve status. Because nations need dollars to buy oil, officials around the world need to hold dollars. The US can print massively without feeling the immediate result from price inflation.  Of course, price inflation happens – and is happening. More is yet to come because US officials have been so reckless. That’s why I think the trillion dollar coin idea is a good one. It illustrates the insanity of the modern money system where people accept bits of paper as money simply because they’ve been printed by the government.”

India’s Gold Mania

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/CaseforGold_1400px-153x2301.jpg

“Less than 1% of the world’s gold is mined in India. The rest comes from somewhere else. Still, India can’t get enough. It is the largest consumer of gold in the world, buying nearly a third of production in recent years. Some estimates say that 10% of all gold is held in India.  Indians save roughly 30% of their income, as opposed Americans, who save 5%. Plus, Indians are getting richer all the time. Once a very poor country, the rich and middle classes now outnumber the poor in this nation of 1.2 billion. The country has the sixth-largest economy in the world.”

3D Printing Technology Poised for New Industrial Revolution

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/image-442090-panoV9-mfne2.jpg

“Engineers at the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) have used this technique to print out an entire bicycle that only needs added tires and a chain to be fully functional. British researchers, meanwhile, have printed a maneuverable drone with a rear-engine drive. Printed components are also used in Formula 1 racing and at NASA. Dental laboratories use 3-D printers to produce crowns, while doctors experiment with artificial heart tissue. Filmmakers also print animation models and automotive parts suppliers create replacement parts. The printing of electronic components is even in the works.”

Rapid DNA analyzers coming to every police station and TSA checkpoint in America

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/DNA1.jpg

“According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, ‘In the amount of time it takes to get lunch, the government can now collect your DNA and extract a profile that identifies you and your family members’ using a device called a Rapid DNA Analyzer, which can ‘process DNA in 90 minutes or less.’  The EFF says these machines are not the imagination of science fiction writers. Rather, the group says they are ‘an operational reality’ and are currently being marketed to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies all around the nation.  Well, what’s the big deal? After you, you haven’t done anything wrong – have you?”

List of Printers Which Do or Do Not Display Tracking Dots

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/logo_full1.png

“This is a list in progress of color laser printer models that do or do not print yellow tracking dots on their output.  We have employed three sources of information. We looked at printer output under a blue light and/or a computer microscope; we consulted press reports about printers (e.g. at Druckerchannel); we relied on printer manuals and other manufacturer statements. We welcome additional statements by manufacturers, resellers, or technicians.”
