Contempt of cop, America’s defiance revolution

“It’s otherwise known as asserting your constitutional rights.  Citizens, feeling empowered, are pointing smartphones, rather than just an accusing finger, at abusive authorities.  Civil libertarians with hidden cameras are challenging the so-called ‘suspicion-less’ roadblocks that police set up to catch lawbreakers. Motorists and others are fighting back in the courts and online against police shakedown rackets on U.S. highways and elsewhere.  Furthermore, they are winning. Not since the late 1960s have those in authority, from heavy-handed cops to the federal operatives sifting metadata in super-secret intelligence installations, been exposed to so much disinfecting sunlight.”

When Killer Cops Get a Pass, There Are Consequences

C4SSLogo22

“There is no doubt whatsoever, let alone any ‘reasonable’ doubt, that Ramos and Cicinelli brutally murdered an innocent victim. They tased Kelly Thomas five times, then brutally beat him, on camera, as he begged for his life. Thomas arrived at the hospital in a coma and died five days later of his injuries.  An Orange County, California jury’s acquittal of these two clearly and irrefutably guilty murderers, for no better reason than that they were wearing uniforms and carrying badges when they committed their crime, is troubling not only in and of itself, but for its likely future consequences.”

US will cling to mass surveillance like nuclear weapons: Assange

“‘The internet has gone from a politically apathetic space to a new international body politic, which is just starting to find its feet. Edward Snowden was motivated largely by Bradley Manning, both by the success of his revelations and by the ill treatment of him in prison, demonstrating that the US government lacks moral authority and it is not possible to change the system from within,’ he said. ‘There is a new international cultural consensus forming. It is largely embodied within the generation of young people between the ages of 15 and 35. And if it comes to a war between the older generation and the large body of the younger generation, the older generation is simply going to lose.'”

Oklahoma state legislator introduces bill to banish NSA

“On Monday, Oklahoma Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-Broken Arrow) filed a bill that would prohibit state cooperation with the NSA and limit some of the practical effects of its vast data collection program. The Fourth Amendment Protection Act addresses the relationship between the state and the NSA in four ways.  First, it prohibits state and local agencies from providing any material support to the NSA within their jurisdiction. This includes barring government-owned utilities from providing water and electricity. Second, it blocks state universities from serving as NSA research facilities or recruiting grounds. Four Oklahoma state schools currently have partnerships with the NSA.”

An NSA-Proof Twitter, Built With Code From Bitcoin and BitTorrent

“Twister is surprisingly easy to use for an application that’s so new, that isn’t controlled by a central authority, and that places so much emphasis on security. Other decentralized alternatives to Twitter and Facebook — such as Pump.ioIdentica and Diaspora — require that you either operate your own dedicated server or trust someone else to run a server for you. Twister works more like peer-to-peer file sharing software: Launch the app, and it connects with other users. There’s no need for a central server.  It manages this trick through the bitcoin protocol, though not the network that actually drives the digital currency.”

‘Tracked everywhere you go’: Snowden Xmas message on govt spying

“Filmed in Russia, the address is the first TV appearance of the whistleblower since his arrival in the country, where he was granted temporary asylum in August.  The message starts with Snowden appealing to each and every family, warning them that the scope of government surveillance has gone to the extent that ‘a child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all’.  As a former US Central Intelligence Agency employee, US National Security Agency contractor, and the person behind the biggest security leak in US history, Snowden gives his assessment of the classic bogey model of the Orwellian state as ‘nothing compared’ to today’s surveillance methods.”

Side Effect Of Legal Pot: Police Budgets Take A Hit

“The decriminalization of pot also stands to remove a funding source for police: property forfeitures from drug dealers. Such funding is ‘going up in smoke,’ The Wall Street Journal reports.  Of the $6.5 billion in asset forfeitures in drug cases from 2002-2012, marijuana accounted for $1 billion, the Journal says, citing data from the U.S. Justice Department.  And while most cash generated from drug-related property forfeitures goes to the law enforcement agency that made the bust, tax money from legal marijuana sales goes to state and local governments. Police may get only a share of that money, or none at all.”

Grand Experiment Goes Live: Overstock.com Now Accepting Bitcoins

“Overstock’s free-thinking CEO and chairman, Patrick Byrne, has been telling anyone who would listen that his company would adopt bitcoin sometime in the next six months. But Byrne is an impatient man. Last Tuesday, the company struck a deal to handle bitcoin payments through a service operated by the suddenly hot San Francisco startup Coinbase, and since then, a team of Overstock engineers has worked almost every waking hour to prepare the site for what is undeniably a key moment in the digital currency’s short history.  ‘I felt I had tipped my hand,’ Byrne says. ‘I didn’t want someone else to beat us.'”

10 Signs The Global Elite Are Losing Control

“The more the elite try to control humanity, the more entropy occurs. Entropy, for those who don’t know, is the lack of order or predictability; a gradual decline into disorder.
Although the elite still enjoy a huge wealth advantage over the masses, they are now resigned to behaving like tyrants to maintain control. This, in turn, exposes their dark side which has been cleverly concealed for ages. Not anymore. People are waking up in droves, at least as fast as the elite can build their full-spectrum prison matrix.  Let them try.  To paraphrase Victor Hugo, ‘No army can stop an idea whose time has come.’  Here are ten signs that the elite are losing control over the people.”
