Indians Who Bought Gold, Won. Those Who Didn’t, Lost.

Posted on by

“The idiot Keynesians who ran the Bank of India destroyed the rupee. In India, fathers buy gold for their daughters’ dowries. They don’t buy rupees. India put a tax on gold imports in a vain attempt to save the rupee. It didn’t work. The government hates it when Indians buy gold. This shows a lack of faith in the government. That lack of faith is well deserved. The government said that Indians who bought gold were making a big mistake. But it turns out that Indians who trusted the government’s rupee made the big mistake. If you think it can’t happen here, you could wind up like all those Indians who have lost a quarter of their wealth in recent months. They believed their government. Silly them.”

All-seeing eyes focus on the sea

Posted on by

“The center, operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, can track as many as 50,000 aircraft at any moment.  Officials say the center has reduced illegal cross-border flights from thousands per year in the mid-1980s to a handful. Initially, the focus was on drug trafficking, but has expanded over the years to include human trafficking, the smuggling of counterfeit products, and terrorist activities.  The center now is testing software that will allow similar scrutiny of maritime traffic. The system would  provide a comprehensive view of marine vessels within 100 miles of the U.S. coastlines. The omniscient view allows for greater coordination of agencies that might respond to a potential emergency.”

Our American Dream Has Become The World’s Nightmare.

Posted on by

google-search-header2

“Shortly after the 2003 intervention into Iraq I remember viewing a TV interview with Noam Chomsky where he compared America’s pre-emptive actions there with Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland in 1939. At the time I thought his language was over-the-top and quite disingenuous. America was not National Socialist Germany. But Chomsky was precisely and prophetically correct. Everything from the time of 9/11 has been propelling the United States into an authoritarian fascist state. Our American dream has become the world’s nightmare.  Where other nations once viewed us with emulation and envy, now it is with fear, loathing, and revulsion. We have become what our parents fought WWII against.”

Making the World the ‘Enemy’

Posted on by

“After 9/11, President George W. Bush turned to Civil War precedents to create military tribunals for trying alleged ‘terrorists.’ But in applying those draconian rules to a worldwide battlefield, he created the nightmarish potential for a global totalitarianism, as retired U.S. Army JAG officer Todd E. Pierce explains.”

Civil liberties may not survive the ‘Gorgon Stare’

Posted on by

“At the top of the executive branch, President Obama and his team favor Orwellian euphemism, preferring wordblobs like ‘disposition matrix’ to the harsh Anglo-Saxon of ‘kill list’ — mumbling ‘kinetic military action’ when what they really mean is ‘war.’  But further down the administrative ladder, the language sometimes gets admirably blunt. The National Security Agency has programs with names like ‘TRAFFICTHIEF’ and ‘PANOPTICON.’ And DHS has even expressed interest in ‘Gorgon Stare,’ a drone-mounted camera array under development by the Air Force that can watch whole cities at a time (and turn the inhabitants to stone?).”

Elysium: The Technological Side of the American Police State

Posted on by

AGOW_WebAD_Small2

“While much has been said about Blomkamp’s use of Elysium to raise concerns about immigration, access to healthcare, worker’s rights, and socioeconomic stratification, what I found most striking and unnerving was its depiction of how the government will employ technologies such as drones, tasers and biometric scanners to track, target and control the populace, especially dissidents. Mind you, while these technologies are already in use today and being hailed for their potentially life-saving, cost-saving, time-saving benefits, it won’t be long before the drawbacks to having a government equipped with technology that makes it all-seeing, all-knowing, and all-powerful far outdistance the benefits.”

Public School: One Of The Most Dangerous Places You Could Put Your Children

Posted on by

“When it comes to their children, safety is the number one priority for most parents.  They expect that their children will be kept safe going to school, while they are at school, and coming home from school.  Unfortunately, school is becoming an increasingly dangerous place to be for our children.  And I am not just talking about the mass shootings that have happened in recent years.  But sometimes it is actually the ‘security officials’ that end up brutalizing the kids.  The following are just a couple of examples of the kinds of things that happen in public schools in America every single day.”

Drones For Safe Passage? ‘Why Not?’ Ald. Cardenas Asks

Posted on by

“If a Chicago alderman has his way, the city could someday see drones buzzing through the skies as part of an effort to keep students safe as they walk to school. ‘We could use the help.!’ Ald. George Cardenas (12th) tweeted, along with an article from The Telegraph outlining ways the remote-controlled, unmanned aerial vehicles have been used outside of military actions.  ‘Why not use drones in safe passage.??’ Cardenas said ‘there is no doubt technology is migrating from military use. … It’s going to take time to find those uses in an urban environment. It is, however, the future and I think people will want to take that leap. I think eventually we’re going to have to look at this technology.'”

Small minds, big ideas: The implications of the IRS targeting anti-tax groups

Posted on by

“Any time you give a state agency a goal with an extremely broad, malleable definition, the agency is going to tend to interpret its mission as broadly as possible. And when that goal is inherently incompatible with a free society, the agency’s powers will inevitably grow at the expense of individual liberties and the rule of law. We shouldn’t trust the IRS to take as much money as it wants; we shouldn’t trust the military to invade the countries it thinks need to be invaded; and we shouldn’t trust the state security apparatus to ‘keep us safe from terrorism.’ The best thing that can happen to an agency trusted with such a goal is that it will fail. The worst is that it will succeed.”
