Harvard Meta-Study Indicates Fluoride Reduces Children’s IQ

Posted on by

“A recent report from the U.S. National Research Council (NRC 2006) concluded that adverse effects of high fluoride concentrations in drinking water may be of concern and that additional research is warranted.  Findings from our meta-analyses of 27 studies published over 22 years suggest an inverse association between high fluoride exposure and children’s intelligence.  The results suggest that fluoride may be a developmental neurotoxicant that affects brain development at exposures much below those that can cause toxicity in adults.  In conclusion, our results support the possibility of adverse effects of fluoride exposures on children’s neurodevelopment.”

Your employer may share your salary, and Equifax might sell that data

Posted on by

“The Equifax credit reporting agency, with the aid of thousands of human resource departments around the country, has assembled what may be the most powerful and thorough private database of Americans’ personal information ever created, containing 190 million employment and salary records covering more than one-third of U.S. adults. Some of the information in the little-known database, created through an Equifax-owned company called The Work Number, is sold to debt collectors, financial service companies and other entities.”

ACLU takes on the DEA for seeking prescription records without a warrant

Posted on by

“The American Civil Liberties Union is seeking to block the Drug Enforcement Administration from obtaining prescription records without a warrant in Oregon.  The state of Oregon filed suit against the DEA last year after the agency sought to access the Oregon Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP), a database of prescription records for certain drugs. The ACLU and its Oregon affiliate hope to join the lawsuit on behalf of patients and doctors.”

Italian tax dodgers uncovered by the Redditometro

Posted on by

“The Italian authorities have been accused of resorting to police state-style tactics with the introduction of a new weapon to hunt down the nation’s many tax dodgers.  The new procedure makes it possible to scrutinise any family’s spending pattern, and compare this with what it says it earns.  But some commentators have been outraged by this month’s launch of what is called the Redditometro – the Income Meter.  It has been described as unacceptably intrusive, the sort of thing that East Germany’s secret police might have dreamt up.”

Video of Big Brother’s spy drone that can watch you from 17,500 ft

Video of Big Brother’s spy drone that can watch you from 17,500 ft

“Curious as to how the Defense Department could be spying on you next? PBS checked in with DARPA about the latest in drone camera technology for the NOVA special ‘Rise of the Drones,’ including the world’s highest-resolution camera.  Actually seeing the sensor on ARGUS-IS, or Autonomous Real-Time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance Imaging System, is still classified, but the basics of how it works have been deemed fit for public consumption…  It can store a million terabytes of video a day, up to 5,000 hours of footage, so soon drones will not only be able to see everything that happens on the ground, but also keep that record.”

Glenn Greenwald: Pentagon’s new massive expansion of ‘cyber-security’ unit is about everything except defense

Posted on by

“This Cyber Command Unit operates under the command of Gen. Keith Alexander, who also happens to be the head of the National Security Agency, the highly secretive government network that spies on the communications of foreign nationals – and American citizens.  The Pentagon’s rhetorical justification for this expansion is deeply misleading. Beyond that, these activities pose a wide array of serious threats to internet freedom, privacy, and international law that, as usual, will be conducted with full-scale secrecy and with little to no oversight and accountability, with a small army of private-sector corporations who will benefit most from this expansion.”

The Internet Has Been Conquered: Get Busy With the Next Steps

Posted on by

“For years, people like me have been telling everyone who will listen that they need to start using encryption and to stop cooperating with the strangling of the Internet. Sadly, not many people cared. They were far more interested in free services and shiny new iGadgets. Ah well… at least I did my part.  My point today is this:  It’s over. The state has won. The Internet will be fully controlled in just a few years.  Actually, it’s worse than that. Within that same amount of time, the Internet will not only be a Worldwide Surveillance Web, but it will be a Worldwide Manipulation Web.”

What Are Stores Collecting When They Swipe Your ID?

Posted on by

“CBS13 told you last month how more stores are tracking returns hoping to weed out fraud which the industry claims is a $17 billion problem annually.  We got answers learning from the Department of Motor Vehicles everything on the front of your driver’s license is accessible through the magnetic strip or bar code including your name, address, birth date, hair and color and even your height and weight. Legally stores can collect the information and keep it for as long as they want if it’s for ‘fraud prevention’.”

NYPD Comissioner Ray Kelly: Police to use Tera-Hertz scanners within six months

Posted on by

“The New York Police Department will begin using scanner technology that can see through a person’s clothes within the year, according to Commissioner Ray Kelly.  ‘We’ve been looking at it for several years, looking at it with the Department of Defense, and also Metropolitan Police in London,’ he said on CBS News’ Face the Nation.  New technology called Tera-Hertz scanners or T-Ray machines can be used to detect whether a person is carrying a concealed firearm. The new device utilizes T-rays, which pass through fabric and paper, but not cannot pass through metals.”

At Davos the Elite Ponder Stale Cybersecurity Issues—and Charlize Theron

Posted on by

“Cybersecurity is on the minds of the Davos-ians because it could cost them money. Apparently they have just learned that ‘there is barely a large company out there today which has not had its infrastructure and systems breached.’ They have also realized that this is going to require some sort of collective action–and the private sector does not do collective action well.  Australia and the United Kingdom are actively forcing companies to work together. Last week the European Union proposed a law that would require tech companies to report server issues and security breaches to the government.”
