The Japan Times – by KYODO

The U.S. National Security Agency sought the Japanese government’s cooperation in 2011 over wiretapping fiber-optic cables carrying phone and Internet data across the Asia-Pacific region, but the request was rejected, sources said Saturday.

The agency’s overture was apparently aimed at gathering information on China given that Japan is at the heart of optical cables that connect various parts of the region. But Tokyo turned down the proposal, citing legal restrictions and a shortage of personnel, the sources said.   Continue reading “NSA asked Japan to tap regionwide fiber-optic cables in 2011”

The Banker Occupied Government in Washington has been imposing poverty on Americans by transferring wealth from the workers, farmers and small businessmen to the elite in New York and the City of London for more than 100 years. I have spoken many times of how the bankers steal our money. They create our money out of nothing and charge us interest for using their money. They also are allowed to steal billions of dollars every week from federal spending which we peasants are not allowed to audit. Donald Rumsfeld announced on 9-10-2001 that he could not trace 2.3 trillion dollars in Defense Department spending. This has become one of the top ten non-stories of the past 12 years because we have a Jewish press.   Continue reading “So Just How Much More Israeli Imposed Poverty Can Americans Take?”

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — State troopers arrested two men said to be carrying antique pistols outside the Texas Capitol on Saturday during a demonstration by a gun-rights group that also helped spearhead a rally of openly armed supporters last week at the Alamo.

The two men were arrested for criminal trespass and have refused to identify themselves to authorities, Department of Public Safety spokesman Tom Vinger said.   Continue reading “2 arrested at Texas Capitol gun-rights rally”

From time to time, we tend to release flatulence in public (aka fart), which can be embarrassing if people realize you’re the one who released the stink bomb. These bombs have many names such as the silent but deadly, and loud but calm. Anyway, what if you could free up your flatulence in public without the smell causing mass hysteria? That’s where Shreddies comes into play, a new type of underwear that has the power to neutralize odor released from your buttocks.   Continue reading “Meet Shreddies, the underwear that neutralizes your farts”

Well, the Fort Lauderdale Police Department isn’t using an oracle yet, but it is getting one step closer to Minority Report-style crime predicting. The department has become the latest agency to use big data analytics and data mining to prevent crime by staying one step ahead of criminals. According to IBM, the company has entered into a partnership with the Fort Lauderdale PD to integrate new data and analytics tools into everyday crime fighting. The new projects will use pattern recognition and anomaly detection tech on existing records like 911 calls, crime records, and building permit activity.   Continue reading “Some Florida Police are using Data to Predict Crime”

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 26 (UPI) — Students in San Jose, Calif., can no longer hold car washes to raise for money for school events because city officials say they endanger the environment.

Cheerleaders at Lincoln High School had to cancel a scheduled Oct. 20 car wash after a visit from the city’s Environmental Services Department, the San Jose Mercury News reported Friday.   Continue reading “Student Fundraising Car Wash Banned over Environmental Concerns”

Excerpted from Campus Reform: The Kansas University (KU) professor who was placed on administrative leave after calling for the death of NRA members’ children returned to work today — but not to teach.

KU announced Thursday that Peter Guth would return to work, but not to the classroom.”We do have a lot of work to do on assessment as we prepare for various levels of accreditation, and that’s some of the work he will be doing,” said William Allen White School of Journalism Dean Ann Brill, according to the University Daily Kansan, KU’s student newspaper.

Guns and Ammo – by S.P. Fjestad

If you’re interested in older and unusual European revolver variations, this Apache centerfire revolver might be exactly what you’re looking for. This single action six-shot is chambered for 7.6 mm cal., and when the bullet leaves the chamber, it passes through a hole on the left side of the upper frame—eliminating the need for a barrel.

This gun’s ability to protect someone isn’t just measured in firepower, however. The retractable knuckle duster grip could come in handy if a hand-to-hand fight ensues, and if that isn’t enough, the folding triangular blade can also be used for cutting and stabbing an adversary.   Continue reading “Three Weapons in One: Apache Centerfire Revolver”

We unfortunately live in the age of surveillance, when agencies like the  NSA and FBI push and cross the boundaries of unconstitutional actions.

This means that everybody needs to take steps to protect their data and. Obviously, there is no such thing as total protection, and a determined individual or organization with a lot of time and money on their hands can break any security if they want.   Continue reading “3 Ways To Avoid NSA Detection On The Internet”

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Brazil said Friday it is working with other countries to draft a U.N. General Assembly resolution that would guarantee people’s privacy in electronic communications.

Thousands gathered by the Capitol reflection pool in Washington on Saturday to march, chant, and listen to speakers and performers as part of Stop Watching Us, a gathering to protest “mass surveillance” under NSA programs first disclosed by the whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Billed by organizers as “the largest rally yet to protest mass surveillance”, Stop Watching Us was sponsored by an unusually broad coalition of left- and right-wing groups, including everything from the American Civil Liberties Union, the Green Party, Color of Change and Daily Kos to the Libertarian Party, FreedomWorks and Young Americans for Liberty.   Continue reading “Thousands gather in Washington for anti-NSA ‘Stop Watching Us’ rally”

SHTF Plan – by Mac Slavo

There is no doubt that President Obama’s health care system promises to fundamentally transform America. It’s been touted as the saving grace of the working class.

But how feasible is it really?

We know it’s essentially a wealth redistribution scheme that takes money from one group of people in the form of forced tax payments, only to shift that money into the pockets of those who didn’t earn it in the form of government subsidies to their health care premiums.   Continue reading “Prelude to Disaster: The Coming Instantaneous Collapse of Obamacare Services”

National Review – by Wesley J. Smith

My wife, the syndicated San Francisco Chronicle columnist Debra J. Saunders, has learned that at least 500,000 Californians may lose their health insurance next year — and that’s a conservative estimate. From her Token Conservative blog:

According to this link as of December 2012, there were 491,977 covered lives in individual health care plans regulated by the state Department Insurance that are not grandfathered under the Affordable Care Act. (If they bought a plan after March 2010, their coverage is not grandfathered.) This is a 2012 number, but if the number of people with private coverage hasn’t changed much in the last ten months, that’s half a million Californians who will lose their coverage.   Continue reading “500,000 Californians Lose Health Policies”

Governor Malloy is asking for a wide variety of input from the public on current regulations that affect Connecticut citizens in numerous ways.

Since the Governor is asking for change recommendations, please take this opportunity by using the instructions below.   Continue reading “Help Return The Right To Carry in State Forests and Parks in Connecticut”
