Paris suburbs erupt in violent protests over veil ban

Posted on by

“The violence kicked off Friday evening, when some 400 people protested near the Trappes police station, southwest of Paris. They set fire to bins, destroyed bus stops and hurled stones at police who responded with tear gas. A 14-year-old boy suffered a serious eye injury and several police officers were also hurt. The veil ban, introduced in 2011, has outraged many in France’s Muslim community, which at an estimated four million is western Europe’s largest Muslim minority. Officials say more than 700 women have been stopped since the ban was introduced. The growing visibility of French Muslims has also sparked a backlash from nationalists.”

France drops law that makes insulting the president a criminal offense

Posted on by

“Being rude to the French president is no longer an offence after parliament amended legislation dating back to 1881 in favour of freedom of speech. Previously any rude remark risked a fine and criminal conviction for ‘offending the head of state’. But the change was pushed through after criticism from the European court of human rights. In March, the court ruled that France had violated the right to freedom of expression after giving a criminal conviction to a man holding a cardboard sign telling the then-president Nicolas Sarkozy to get lost, uttered by Sarkozy himself months earlier when a man refused to shake his hand at an agricultural fair.”

CIA displays Osama bin Laden’s personal AK-47 at ‘secret’ museum

Posted on by

“An AK-47 assault rifle once owned by terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden is on display at a museum in Washington, D.C. Problem is, you’ll never get to see it up close.  That’s because the weapon is stored inside a glass case at the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) ‘secret’ museum, according to NBC News, and visitors are strictly prohibited. ‘I think for our people it’s an acknowledgment that the hard work over that 10 years and partnership with other members of the intelligence community and partnership with the military was a success,’ a spokesperson said.”

Google strengthens Android security with NSA’s SELinux; TPM also coming

Posted on by

“Originally developed by programmers from the National Security Agency, SELinux enforces a much finer-grained series of mandatory access control policies.  the other big security enhancement introduced in Android 4.3 is a more robust way to store cryptographic credentials used to access sensitive information and resources.  ‘With the keychain enhancements, the system-wide keys are bound to a hardware-based root of trust process devices that support this,’ said Pau Oliva Fora, senior mobile security engineer at viaForensics. ‘The phone needs to have a secure element such as a Trusted Platform Module so that private keys can’t be stolen.'”

TSA: Give Us Fingerprints, Web History and You Can Keep Your Shoes On

Posted on by

“In order to participate in the ‘PreCheck’ TSA program, you will need to allow them to reach down into the proverbial pants of your personal life as well. Under PreCheck, you are required to not only present your fingerprints to the TSA in person and pay a fee of $85, but the agency is also looking to gather all forms of your data as well — which reports state includes your web history and online data. With the help of a third party organization, the TSA seeks to ‘pre-screen’ (think pre-crime) individuals based on their activity in order to determine if they are worthy of bypassing the most minimal of security checkpoints.”

Posted on by

“A United Nations group that advises nations on cybersecurity plans to send out an alert about significant vulnerabilities in mobile phone technology that could potentially enable hackers to remotely attack at least half a billion phones. The bug, discovered by German firm, allows hackers to remotely gain control of and also clone certain mobile SIM cards.  Hackers could use compromised SIMs to commit financial crimes or engage in electronic espionage, according to Berlin’s Security Research Labs, which will describe the vulnerabilities at the Black Hat hacking conference that opens in Las Vegas on July 31.”

Dzhokar Tsarnaev’s Throat Wound: Another Government Lie Bites the Dust

Dzhokar Tsarnaev’s Throat Wound: Another Government Lie Bites the Dust

“In May, the story changed. It was said Tsarnaev didn’t have a bullet wound in his throat, but was cut.  CNN later edited out the comment about the throat wound made by police. Now we have a photo of Tsarnaev allegedly surrendering. It was taken by a Massachusetts State Police photographer. Note the absence of a throat wound in the photo.  Finally, according to a former wrestling teammate interviewed by the Boston Globe, the man [pleading not guilty] in court ‘didn’t look like’ Tsarnaev. Moreover, the man brought into court had a thick accent and Tsarnaev does not.”

Justice Department sues Florida over ‘deliberate indifference’ in treatment of disabled children

Posted on by

“The U.S. Justice Department sued the state of Florida on Monday, accusing health officials of violating the Americans with Disabilities act by placing almost 200 handicapped minors in nursing homes usually used for elderly residents, Mother Jones reported.  Florida is the 12th state sued by the department over alleged mistreatment of physically or mentally disabled residents in the past four years. The Miami Herald reported that while the state has increased patient care payments to $550 per day for children placed in nursing homes, lawmakers also cut $6 million from a program allowing residents to get private health care at their homes.”

Britain considers banning Internet pornography over ‘corroding’ influence on children

Posted on by

“Every household in Britain connected to the internet will be obliged to declare whether they want to maintain access to online pornography, David Cameron will announce on Monday. In the most dramatic step by the government to crack down on the ‘corroding’ influence of pornography on childhood, the prime minister will say that all internet users will be contacted by their service providers and given an ‘unavoidable choice’ on whether to use filters. The changes will be introduced by the end of next year. All police forces will work with a single secure database of illegal images of children to help ‘close the net on paedophiles’.”

Will Globalism Invade the US via its Cities? The Daily Beast Thinks So

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“In New York, an urban area as blighted and tenuous as any, infrastructure is crumbling and the only growth industry, from what we can tell, is expanding regulation. This is one of the major cities in the world but you can’t buy a large-sized soft drink or enjoy an indoor cigarette, or request eggs dabbed with trans-fat. Detroit? The city is getting ready to pay bondholders pennies on the dollar. Chicago? Drudge just posted a report on the alarming rise in shootings and murders in the ‘Windy City.’ All major US cities are surely in disarray to some extent. How could they not be? The same recessionary trends afflicting Fedgov are active at a local, urban level as well.”
