US police shoot and kill 111 Americans in March 2015

Posted on by

“US law enforcement agencies get increasingly aggressive every year. In March 2015, the American police killed 111 people.  According to AlterNet, since 1900, the entire UK police have killed 52 people.  ‘Don’t bother adjusting for population differences, or poverty, or mental illness, or anything else. The sheer fact that American police kill TWICE as many people per month as police have killed in the modern history of the United Kingdom is sick, preposterous, and alarming,’ Shaun King, the author of the publication wrote.  The author recalls several incidents, when police officers shot and killed unarmed American citizens, both male and female.”

Police kill more Americans than terrorists

Posted on by

“More than 5,600 American citizens have been killed for the last 15 years by the U.S. police. Quite less people died under Islamist terrorists attacks mounted in the territory of the United States during this period.  A special interactive map of fatal encounters was created by Anand Katakam. It is to represent a so-called national database on killings committed by the police.  The guns remain the most widespread police tools, as the vast majority of the deaths are from gunshots. There are also cases of stab wounds, stun guns, asphyxiations, medical emergencies and vehicle crashes. Some citizens died because of ‘suicide by cop’, that is after baiting a police officer into using deadly force.”

With Crime Down, Why Is Police Aggression Up?

Posted on by

“You might not know it from watching TV news, but FBI statistics show that crime in the U.S.—including violent crime—has been trending steadily downward for years, falling 19% between 1987 and 2011. The job of being a police officer has become safer too, as the number of police killed by gunfire plunged to 33 last year, down 50% from 2012, to its lowest level since, wait for it, 1887, a time when the population was 75% lower than it is today.  So why are we seeing an ever increasing militarization of policing across the country?”

GMO Apples And Potatoes Approved By FDA; Labeling Not Required

Posted on by

“The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved two varieties of genetically engineered apples and six varieties of genetically engineered potatoes for human consumption Friday. The apples and potatoes were approved as part of a voluntary consultation process in which the FDA reviewed information submitted by the companies about how the foods had been changed on a molecular level and how they compared nutritionally with conventional apples and potatoes. In February, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved Artic apples for cultivation and sale.  Those apples are expected to become commercially available in 2017.”

43 scientific papers retracted amid wider fake peer-review scandal

Posted on by

“A major publisher of scholarly medical and science articles has retracted 43 papers because of ‘fabricated’ peer reviews amid signs of a broader fake peer review racket affecting many more publications.  The publisher is BioMed Central, based in the UK, which puts out 277 peer-reviewed journals. A partial list of the retracted articles suggests most of them were written by scholars at universities in China. Meanwhile, the Committee on Publication Ethics, a multidisciplinary group that includes more than 9,000 journal editors, issued a statement suggesting a much broader potential problem.  Those journals are now reviewing manuscripts to determine how many may need to be retracted.”

Exploding Sunni-Shia Conflict: Impact on Oil, Stocks, and More

Posted on by

“Even if there were such a thing as a ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ side in this 14-century-old blood feud, the fact remains that, under President Obama’s leadership, the United States and its allies are fighting on both sides.  In Syria, the U.S. has inadvertently wound up on the Shia side, bombing Sunnis. And, although that was not the intent, the U.S. is giving every strategic advantage to Shia President Bashar al-Assad. In Iraq, the United States is also on the Shia side. But in this case it is deliberate.  On the all-important Arabian Peninsula (including Yemen), the United States is on the Sunni side. The U.S. has forever been a major supplier of arms to the Sunni-dominated armed forces on the peninsula.”

What’s in Your Wallet? Coming Soon: a National ID Card

Posted on by

“An interlinked system is a far greater security risk than a decentralized one, with each state issuing ID cards according to its own rules. That’s because if hackers manage to penetrate it, they’ll have access to identity documents in all 50 states – not just one. That means hackers will be able to copy your birth certificate, your passport, your Social Security card, and any other document you submitted to get your ‘secure’ driver’s license.  Moreover, since there’s no requirement that the data on your Real ID be protected in any way, private companies can use the information in it at will. Every retailer that requires identification will swipe your Real ID and then sell the data.”

TSA Demands Internal Passport for Domestic Travel

Posted on by

“Precedents exist for requiring citizens to produce special ID for domestic travel; they include Nazi Germany, apartheid South Africa and Russia (both Imperial and Soviet). Over the Christmas season, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) quietly announced that America was walking down that path. By 2016, all domestic air travel will require either a traditional passport or a federally-compliant ID card called ‘Real ID.’  State driver’s licenses will no longer allow Americans access to domestic flights, as they do now. Real ID will constitute an internal passport.”

Mass escape from Brazilian prison after women seduce guards

Posted on by

“Twenty-eight inmates escaped from a Brazilian jail after three women in fantasy police costumes ‘seduced’ prison wardens. Police found three wardens naked and handcuffed inside the Nova Mutum public jail, near Cuiaba, central Brazil, the morning after the mass break-out. The women reportedly drugged the prison guards by giving them spiked whisky after convincing them to take part in an orgy, according to investigators.  Inmates then left the prison through the main doors, even taking with them guns and munitions they had taken from prison caches.  Police later found a bag of lingerie and dominatrix police uniforms believed to have been worn by the temptresses.”

Obama order urges companies to share cybersecurity information

Posted on by

“The order the president signed here encourages the development of central clearinghouses for companies and the government to share data and creation of centers where data can be shared across specific geographic regions. Obama pushed for collaboration between the public and private sectors.  ‘There’s only one way to defend America from these cyber threats, and that is through government and industry working together, sharing appropriate information as true partners,’ he said. Both privacy groups and Silicon Valley companies have said they would oppose the legislation Obama proposed last month unless reforms are first made to the NSA’s surveillance program.”
