The government no longer serves the people
Online JournalOct 22
Actually, the government hasn't served the people for a long time. But now, with a stroke of a pen, George W. Bush wiped out the last vestiges of the US Constitution, nullifying our democratic republic, and has all but declared himself dictator. So what are we going to do about it?

Are we going to sit back and hope that the US Supreme Court will declare the Military Commissions Act of 2006 unconstitutional? A hard thing to do in the absence of a constitution, i.e., if someone can

Expanding Surveillance Authority
The New AmericanOct 22
The surveillance power demanded by President Bush would not necessarily provide any better protection from terrorism, but it would certainly expand executive branch power.

On December 17 of last year, during his weekly radio address, President Bush confirmed reports by the New York Times and CNN that, following the 9/11 attacks, he had given the National Security Agency (NSA) authorization to eavesdrop on Americans communicating with people overseas. The president said that

Who are the Taleban? The question that is snaring Nato in Tribal wars
Times OnlineOct 22
LYING in hospital in Kandahar, with shrapnel wounds in both legs and his left arm, Abdul Qarim has had two days to ponder why his wife, two sons and two daughters were killed in a Nato attack on his village.

“If you call our mothers and children ‘Taleban’ then that could be one reason,” the 60-year-old farmer said yesterday. His family were not Taleban they were Tajiks. “More probably though, some people gave the wrong information to the foreigners &m

Big Brother sees Internet as up for grabs
Canada Free PressOct 22
The European Union--Big Brother, Europe style--is making a move to kill the Internet.

"The latest move to kill off online freedom and the spread of information comes in the form of proposed EU legislation that would prevent users from uploading any form of video, whether that be a hard hitting political documentary film or your friends goofing around with diet coke and Mentos." (Alex Jones Infowars, Oct. 20,2006).

MADEIRA BEACH — Coming to Pinellas County schools: a way for parents to check up on their children’s meal choices.

The new technology, which debuted Wednesday at two schools, will let parents go online and see exactly what their kids are buying for lunch. If the trial period goes smoothly, the program should be available in every Pinellas school by early April, administrators said.

Criminal link holds back fingerprint acceptance
ZDNet AustraliaOct 22
Fingerprinting technology is the most reliable and cost effective biometric authentication technology but it's not being deployed on a wide scale because people still imagine that criminals are the only ones that have to surrender their fingerprints, according to Sagem.

Users are resisting the switch to fingerprint authentication technologies because they still see the process of giving a fingerprint as somehow related to being caught by the police, according to Gilles Nov

Camera plan to catch bad drivers
BBCOct 22
The government is considering rolling out the use of the cameras already in place in London, where one million drivers were fined last year.

Road campaigners said the move could be seen as a "revenue raiser" rather than a traffic flow and safety measure.

Councils in England and Wales could begin using the cameras from 2008.

A Department of Transport spokesman said there would be a consultation next year on giving local authorities the powers.

The London Independent today carries the headline "SPACE: AMERICA'S NEW WAR ZONE". It has, however, long been a globalist neoconservative agenda to weaponize, fully militarize and aggressively control space in order to achieve what they refer to as "full spectrum dominance" over the entirety of the planet Earth.

Neo-Fascist Pigs In Space: Part Two
InfowarsOct 20
The Agenda behind the "defense focused" space policy signed by President Bush earlier this week is nothing to do with defense and everything to do with weaponizing space and having the ability to preemptively attack any nation or population on the planet.

A fourth medium for warfare is emerging. At present there are no weapons in space but very soon that may no longer be the case and within just a few years we could see weapons that can fight from, in an

Media Terrorizes Public With Phony Messageboard Stadium Threat
Prison PlanetOct 20
An obscure Internet messageboard posting featured on an obscene joke website that warned of weekend dirty bomb attacks on major NFL football stadiums nationwide was hyped by a media response that artificially loaded the empty threat with importance, terrorizing the American people in the latest onslaught of the politics of fear.

The seriousness of the "threat" can perhaps best be judged by the nature of its source, a website which is euphemistically called "The Friend Soci
