Inside Oklahoma’s Quest To Dominate The American Drone Industry

Posted on by

“Oklahoma businesspeople, academics, and politicians are collaborating through an organization named USA-OK, which aims to make the heartland state the focal point of American UAV development. A quasi-affiliated group, the Governor’s Unmanned Aerial Systems Council (PDF), was formed via an executive order from Governor Mary Fallin in 2011. Both organizations are lobbying for commercial drone test sites in Oklahoma and increased government assistance in luring more large military contractors to the state.  15 companies already operating within the state fulfill duties as diverse as assembling payloads for military drones and creating low-cost retail UAVs for the hobbyist market.”

Lessons from the Great Austrian Inflation

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“One of these tragic episodes that is worth recalling and learning from was the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the accompanying Great Austrian Inflation in the immediate postwar period in the early 1920s.  For those who say that such things as a hyperinflation, economic chaos, capital consumption and political tyranny ‘can’t happen here,’ it is worth remembering that a hundred years ago, in 1914, few in prewar Vienna could have imagined that it would happen there.”

The Lie of Moral Mercantilism

Posted on by

Anthony-Wile1

“The use and the abuse of the force of the state to advance personal and corporate agendas is perhaps the most significant challenge the West faces in the 21st century. Every other abuse can be seen as flowing from it.  Under the guise of democratic activism, an agenda is surely being advanced that inevitably and consistently supports an ever more centralized sociopolitical and economic environment worldwide. What we call mercantilism is constantly used to advance this agenda, and the objective for the most part is to drain away freedom of choice.”

Fed ‘Biosurveillance’ Plan Seeks Direct Access to Private Health Records

Posted on by

“The federal government is piecing together a sweeping national ‘biosurveillance’ system that will give bureaucrats near real-time access to Americans’ private medical information in the name of national security, according to Twila Brase.  Brase warns that the NHSS proposal would allow the federal government to monitor an individual’s behavior before, during and after any government-defined health ‘incident’ – which could be anything from a local outbreak of the flu to a terrorist anthrax attack.  One of the dangers, Brase pointed out, is that this vast amount of medical data warehoused in a giant electronic database will only be available to government-approved researchers.”

Autism Nation: America’s Chemical Brain Drain

Posted on by

“In 1981, the autism (ASD) rate in the United States was 1:10,000. In 2007, it was 1:150. In 2009, it was 1:100. In 2012, it was 1:88. In 2014, it is 1:68. At this rate of increase, by 2025 it will be 1:2, or 50 percent. For those of you tempted to think this is just greater awareness and expansion of the criteria for diagnosis, the CDC says that since the 2012 estimate of 1 in 88 children identified with ASD, the criteria used to diagnose, treat, and provide services have not changed, but the rate has increased another 30%.  Meanwhile, autism rates in Europe have remained virtually flat for the last decade. Recent estimates in European countries range from 1 in 5,000 in Germany to 1 in 700 in Portugal.”

Cannabis: History, Legalization, Regulation, & the Public Health Model

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“The first recorded mention of cannabis as therapy is 2000 years before the common era (BCE) in the pharmacopeia of Chinese medicine. In the ancient Near East, it was ground into a paste with honey and inserted vaginally to ease the pain of childbirth. Caesar’s physician used the oil from seeds to alleviate earaches. Queen Victoria’s physician prescribed it for menstrual cramps. It’s ironic to contemplate that 100 years ago cannabis tinctures were widely used and doctors knew all about it and how it worked for various conditions. One hundred years later, doctors know almost nothing.”

Fight Back Against Hidden Regulations That Threaten Your Health

Posted on by

“It’s ironic, sadly ironic that the amendments were passed in order to prevent the Thalidomide type tragedy. And here we go folic acid, a ‘B’ vitamin, was shown to prevent spina bifada and other really tragic problems in young children. Folic acid manufacturers were told if they talked about this they would be shut down because they hadn’t gone through all these hoops that pharmaceutical drugs go through.  And if you make a claim you can prevent disease in the U.S. you have to go through the FDA process because commercial speech is not protected.  So that was very sad; about 25,000 babies were probably born with these defects that they didn’t need. And many more were aborted.”

Hacker faces 115 years in prison after lowering customers’ cable bills

Posted on by

“Two men pleaded guilty to a scam that lowered the bills of 5,790 Comcast customers in Pennsylvania by a total of $2.4 million. They now face prison time and will have to pay their ill-gotten wealth back to Comcast.  The accused ringleader, 30-year-old Alston Buchanan, pleaded guilty last week. ‘Buchanan faces up to 57½ to 115 years in prison, although Buchanan will likely serve a lesser sentence than the maximum,’ the newspaper wrote.  Comcast customers saved an average of $414 in exchange for paying the defendants $75 to $150.”

Dairy industry opposes bills lifting restrictions on US raw milk sales

Posted on by

“The two bills, the Milk Freedom Act of 2014 and the Interstate Milk Freedom Act of 2014, are the latest salvo in an ongoing controversy between those who say they want to be able to consume unprocessed milk, straight from the cow, both for its taste and health benefits, and those who say there is too much of a public health risk.Opposing the bills are dairy industry organizations and food safety agencies.  According to the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund website, 15 state prohibit the sale of raw milk to humans under any circumstances. The remaining 35 allow it, under a variety of circumstances. Some allow unrestricted retail sales, others only through co-ops or herd-sharing plans.”

‘Drop Dropbox’ protests as wiretap proponent Condoleezza Rice joins

Posted on by

“CEO Drew Houston made it clear on Wednesday that Dropbox wants to be a bigger part of your day-to-day life. But protesters are threatening to ditch Dropbox from their life completely, thanks to yesterday’s appointment of former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the Dropbox board.  Rice supports warrantless wiretaps and has a generally pro-surveillance political stance (an issue that Drop Dropbox also touches upon). Given that Dropbox has such deep access to the files of its 275 million users, and that the information collection should only increase if users start using auxiliary services like Carousel and Mailbox en masse, Rice’s appointment has struck a collective nerve.”
