Stuxnet – the famous worm widely credited with crippling the Iranian nuclear weapons programme for several years – also infected the internal network of a Russian nuclear plant. Unspecified malware has even reached the International Space Station, according to the boss of Russian anti-virus firm Kaspersky Lab.

Eugene Kaspersky said he heard about the nuclear infection from a “friend of mine” at the unnamed nuclear plant. The unnamed staffer “sent a message their nuclear plant network which was disconnected from the internet … was badly infected by Stuxnet,” Kaspersky said, SC Magazine reports. The malware apparently got into the air-gapped network of the nuke plant on an infected USB stick.Advertisement   Continue reading “Rogue US-Israeli cyberwar weapon ‘infected Russian nuclear plant’”

That’s right. For all the liberal moaning about the Conservative opposition to permanently expanding the SNAP welfare program, liberals (including Obama himself) are conveniently ignoring the fact that the President has diverted funds from food stamps and funneled them into Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” program.   Continue reading “Obama diverting cash from food stamps to fund Michelle’s “Let’s Move” program”

The revelations of Edward Snowden shone fresh light on NSA spying targeting the American people, but what has gone largely unnoticed is the fact that a network of different spy systems which can record real time conversations are already in place throughout many urban areas of the United States, as well as in the technology products we buy and use on a regular basis.

These systems are no secret – they are hiding in plain view – and yet concerns about the monolithic potential for their abuse have been muted.   Continue reading “Feds Deploy National Spy System of Microphones Capable of Recording Conversations”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of Chinese students are flocking to U.S. colleges and universities, helping to drive the number of international students studying in America to record levels.

Similarly, all-time high numbers of American students are studying abroad, although there are far fewer and they tend to do much shorter stints than students coming to the United States.   Continue reading “Record Number Of Foreign Students Hit US”

SPOKANE, Wash. – Two Gonzaga Seniors were placed on probation Sunday, as a result of the way they defended themselves after a six time felon attempted to enter their apartment.

Seniors Daniel McIntosh and Erik Fagan got a knock on their door around 3:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon. When they answered, they were hand delivered the ruling from the University Discipline Board Hearing they attended earlier in the week. Both students have been placed on probation for the rest of their time at Gonzaga University.   Continue reading “Gonzaga Puts 2 Students On Probation, Indefinitely”

The UC Berkeley student government has banned the term “illegal immigrant” from its discourse, deeming the phrase racist, offensive, unfair and derogatory.

In an unanimous vote, student senators passed a resolution that stated the word “illegal” is “racially charged,” “dehumanizes” people, and contributes to “punitive and discriminatory actions aimed primarily at immigrants and communities of color.”   Continue reading “UC Berkeley Student Government Bans Term ‘Illegal Immigrant’”

In the public debate surrounding the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), an issue that seems to stand out is the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) system. It would enable foreign investors of TPPA countries to directly sue the host government in an international tribunal.   Continue reading “The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA): When Foreign Investors Sue the State”

One of the strongest typhoons ever to make landfall devastated the central Philippines, killing more than 1,000 people in one city alone and 200 in another province, the Red Cross estimated on Saturday, as reports of high casualties began to emerge.

A day after Typhoon Haiyan churned through the Philippine archipelago in a straight line from east to west, rescue teams struggled to reach far-flung regions, hampered by washed out roads, many choked with debris and fallen trees.   Continue reading “‘Massive destruction’ as typhoon kills at least 1,200 in Philippines, says Red Cross”

A panel of Florida legislators on Thursday easily defeated an effort to repeal the state’s controversial “stand your ground law” Thursday following hours of passionate testimony.

The vote by a committee of the Republican-controlled House, which seemed unlikely just a few months ago, comes after the trial of George Zimmerman renewed scrutiny of the self-defense law that was first passed in 2005.   Continue reading “‘Stand your ground law’ survives Florida House vote”

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday important gaps needed to be bridged in high-stakes talks with Iran on curbing its nuclear program and he would meet Tehran’s foreign minister shortly to try to clinch an interim deal.

“I want to emphasize there is not an agreement at this point,” Kerry said shortly after arriving in Geneva, tempering rising anticipation of a breakthrough that would reduce the risk of a Middle East war over Iran’s nuclear aspirations.   Continue reading “Kerry says aims to close ‘important gaps’ in Iran nuclear talks”

Dad ‘unfit parent for refusing son McDonald’s’New York Post –  by Julia Marsh and Reuven Fenton

A Manhattan dad is not lovin’ McDonald’s right now.

Attorney David Schorr slapped a court-appointed shrink with a defamation lawsuit for telling the judge deciding a custody battle with his estranged wife that he was an unfit parent — for refusing to take his son to the fast food joint for dinner.

“You’d think it was sexual molestation,” Schorr, 43, told The Post Thursday. “I am just floored by it.”   Continue reading “Dad ‘unfit parent for refusing son McDonald’s’”

The War on Fun: Missouri State want to ban nerf gunsThe Daily Caller – by Robby Soave

Toy nerf guns — the weapon of choice for students participating in Missouri State University’s semi-annual “Humans vs. Zombies” live-action game — may be the latest casualty of irrational anti-gun hysteria at American universities.

Humans vs. Zombies, a once-per-semester tradition at the Springfield campus, involves students using toy nerf guns to shoot foam bullets at each other. Almost 500 students played the most recent iteration of the game last month.   Continue reading “The War on Fun: Missouri State want to ban nerf guns”

Can serious-minded fiction play a role in creating a better understanding of critical contemporary social/political issues like 9/11? Is there a body of 9/11-related fiction? This seems to me a subject worthy of editorial inquiry.

Thanks to the Internet and an increasing number of enterprising and courageous individuals, the information now available on a 9/11 cover-up is voluminous and convincing. But my perception is that Americans’ understanding of this wealth of evidence, or willingness even to consider it, is a small fraction of what it could and needs to be in a nation requiring “eternal vigilance” by a responsible citizenry to remain free. The choir is being preached to with brilliance and passion, but it’s time to enlarge the congregation. Exponentially.   Continue reading “FALSE FLAG: a fact-based narrative with fictional characters about the 9/11 cover-up”
