The explosion Monday at an Iranian military complex, in which two people were killed and dozens injured, was not an accident but the work of a foreign nation, Kuwait’s Al Rai, citing unnamed Washington-based European diplomats, reported Friday.

The report implicated Israel in the incident, saying, “That very same blast [in Parchin] led Iran to order Hezbollah to place a bomb at Mount Dov, which then wounded two Israeli soldiers.”   Continue reading “Report: ‘Foreign country’ behind Iran military complex blast”

In a recent article, “In The Internet of Things YOU Will Be The Key,” I outlined the many ways that the human body will become the next generation identification system. The move to give everyone a global unique ID that can be verified across nearly all human activity has been in the works for some time, with defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin becoming a global leader in biometric identification. The applications are pervasive.

The fear of identity theft and cyber-banking crime has been the latest sales pitch to encourage accepting identity tech such as facial recognition, iris scans, and fingerprinting – even tears –  as well as their attendant databases. There is an ongoing cooperative effort between global banks and corporations to ensure that there will be standardized, centralized entry into the consumer/Internet/banking matrix of the future.    Continue reading “Invisible Biometrics: Your Voice is Your New ID”

For the last three months, hackers had access to customer credit and debit card names, numbers and expiration dates at 395 Dairy Queen stores in the U.S. stores, according to news reports. The hackers installed the same “Backoff” malware on local stores cash registers that was used in a major identity theft at Target earlier this year.    

The Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service are reportedly working together to chase the identity thieves that use Backoff as a point-of-sale malware that remotely exfiltrates “consumer payment data” as if the requester was the corporate data administrator.

DHS cyber cops believe that the malware was first released a year ago October and remained undetected by virtually all anti-malware software until massive customer complaints at Target this spring. DHS has documented that over 1,000 businesses in the U.S. have had customer data compromised, and urges all firms to investigate if they have are infected.     Continue reading “Identity Thieves used “Back Off” Malware To Hack Dairy Queen”

Bullhorn and siren sounds rang out, startling suspected 2016 Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton while she spoke to a room of over 3,000 pediatric medical professionals in San Diego this weekend.

Clinton appeared as keynote speaker at an American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Conference Sunday. Her speech was interrupted just minutes in by a heckler in the audience. The man was quickly taken away, after which Hillary joked at his expense, “Ya know, there are some people who miss important developmental stages.”    Continue reading “Hillary Startled As Bullhorn Heckler Interrups San Diego Speech”

MCALLEN, Texas — The recent immigration surge in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley where thousands of illegal immigrants from Central America came across the border en masse exposed a deep dark secret that victimized people all across the continent.
Unbeknownst to most, drug cartels in the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas and in South Texas had taken control of the human smuggling routes having diversified their criminal activities to not only include the transport of drugs but also human smuggling and a myriad of other activities that turned the quest for the American dream into a horrifying nightmare.    Continue reading “Drug Cartels Turn Illegal Immigrants Quest For The Amercain Dream Into A Nightmare”

The State Department has obtained 27,000 photographs showing the emaciated, bruised and burned bodies of Syrian torture victims — gruesome images that a top official told Yahoo News constitute “smoking gun” evidence that can be used to bring war-crimes charges against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The photos are “horrific — some of them put you in visceral pain,” said Stephen J. Rapp, the U.S. ambassador-at-large for war crimes, in an interview. “This is some of the strongest evidence we’ve seen in the area of proof of the commission of mass atrocities.”   Continue reading “Inside Bashar Assad’s torture chambers”

The North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, who had not been in public for 40 days, fuelling unprecedented speculation over his general health and grip on power, has emerged, according to a state news agency.

North Korea’s official news agency KCNA said their leader “gave field guidance” to the newly built Wisong Scientists Residential District, and visited the Natural Energy Institute of the State Academy of Sciences in Pyongyang. The report, dated Tuesday, did not specify when the visits were made.   Continue reading “North Korean leader Kim Jong Un makes first appearance in 40 days…but where has he been?”

The Patriot Post

In his 1798 letter to the officers of the First Brigade of the Third Division of Massachusetts’ Militia, America’s second president, John Adams, made a famous observation about the U.S. Constitution: “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Noting its limited scope and enumerated powers, Adams argued such a founding document would adequately govern given the personal and civic decorum and the decency of the citizens of the United States. Flip that coin over to understand that without the absolutes of right and wrong woven into the tapestry of a moral and religious people, an overreaching and excessive government would follow.   Continue reading “We Need Good Preachers Before We Get Good Government”

A 59-year-old Georgia man is the latest victim of a no-knock police raid.

The police had gotten a warrant to search the house of David and Teresa Hooks for meth. But guess who gave the police this information? A meth addict who had come to the Hooks’ house just 2 days prior to the police raid, burglarized their home, and stole their black SUV. The meth addict burglar told the police that he had found meth in the Hooks’ SUV, which turned out to be a lie.   Continue reading “Another Innocent American Dies in No-Knock Police Raid”

At 1532ET today (Columbus Day – with half the market absent), someone – apparently having waited to see if the almost ‘ubiquitous’ 330pm Ramp would occur – decided it was time to dump three-quarters of a billion dollars notional of US equity market exposure in 1 second. The results of this forced liquidation (or utter disregard for fiduciary duty) were as follows…

Many fitness enthusiasts have already been exposed to Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) as it is commonly found in quality fitness supplements. Used to help improve energy levels, it also repairs oxidative damage, neutralizes free radicals and boosts antioxidant activity.

Antioxidant Activity of ALA

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is one of the few antioxidants that is both water and fat soluble, granting it access to every nook and cranny in our body. This proves to be particularly beneficial when looking at cognitive health benefits, as many antioxidants are incapable of passing through the blood brain barrier.   Continue reading “Alpha Lipoic Acid Improves Glucose Uptake, Lowers Blood Sugar and Neutralizes Free Radicals”

Through terrifying headlines and shocking videos, ISIS is being used as a tool to justify war in the Middle East and to cause fear and panic worldwide. No, this is not a “crazy conspiracy theory”, it is simply the oldest trick in the book. ISIS was created by the very forces that are fighting it.

Ever since the creation of democratic nations – where public opinion somewhat matters – the political class is faced with a dilemma: War is needed to gain power, riches, and control, but the general public has a tendency to be against it. What to do? The answer was found decades ago and is still used successfully today: Create an enemy so terrifying that the masses will beg their government to go to war.   Continue reading “ISIS : A CIA Creation to Justify War Abroad and Repression at Home”

Generalised statistics on foreign exchange reserves around the world are no secret, but are published extremely rarely. The main sources of such statistical information are the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), and the most recent figures were published at the end of the first quarter of 2014. The total amount of foreign exchange reserves held by all IMF member countries at that time stood at $11.86 trillion. This is approximately equal to 70 per cent of US gross domestic product (GDP) for 2013. According to the IMF, the global gross domestic product in 2013 (calculated on the basis of purchasing power parity) stood at $74 trillion. It therefore works out that the foreign exchange reserves of every country in the world made up 16 per cent of global GDP.   Continue reading “A Panorama of the World’s Foreign Exchange Reserves: Food for Thought”

TAIPEI — As relations improve between Beijing and Taipei, military morale still continues to fall as fewer Taiwan military officers see a future in an ever-shrinking armed forces. Many are beginning to cash in on their intimate knowledge of military secrets, including classified information on US military equipment.

Over the past several years, Taiwan military officers have sold China information on the E-2K Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft, Patriot Advanced Capability-3 and PAC-2 anti-ballistic missile systems, Hawk air defense missile system, and the Raytheon Palm IR-500 radiometric infrared camera.   Continue reading “Chinese Espionage Now Rampant in Taiwan”
