Experts have warned about a new craze in which men are secretly seeking and spreading HIV.

The reckless practice, known as bug chasing, started in the US as a bizarre means of getting a ­sexual high from risk-taking.

Now, according to one man who willingly caught the virus, hundreds of men in the UK are introducing themselves on online forums, Face­book groups and Twitter.   Continue reading “Bug chasing: Men deliberately trying to catch HIV for sexual thrill in astonishing craze”

I’m just back in front after the computer after an enjoyable training weekend with, as usual, a great bunch of people. In fact, it’s never been any different; at no point have I had anyone attend the course who was not a good decent person. I just posted a couple of AARs from the weekend, and I will publish any more that come in along with any more photos.    Continue reading “Rainstorms & Associated Tactical Thoughts”

Americans seemed to have suddenly awakened to an egregious invasion of our privacy and assaults on our constitutional rights and civil liberties, as if the process “just appeared” or was just discovered as a recent form of government overreach. While the process has indeed been refined and accelerated over the last decade under the pretext of national security, the architecture of this system of total surveillance was actually revealed decades ago – and longer –  by the global elite. You just have to know where to look.   Continue reading “One nation, under surveillance, with tyranny & injustice for all”

Did Katrina vanden Heuvel think no one would notice her magazine’s affinity with friends of Joseph Stalin?

The left-wing magazine The Nation has published what it deems America’s all-time, most influential top 50 progressives. The list is very revealing. I will not mention all 50 names, which you can review for yourself, but a few are especially interesting.   Continue reading “The Nation’s Top 50 Progressives… and Socialists and Communists”

Contradicting a statement by ex-vice president Dick Cheney on Sunday that warrantless domestic surveillance might have prevented 9/11, 2007 court records indicate that the Bush-Cheney administration began such surveillance at least 7 months prior to 9/11.

According to the New York Post, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg participated in a raft race to promote tourism in the Adirondacks. For some reason they allowed this photo to be snapped of themselves. I’m laughing too hard to think of anything else to say.   Continue reading “This Is Some Pic Of Bloomberg And Cuomo”

We have heard a lot about the new immigration bill that has cleared the Senate and is now with the House of Representatives. I have written some about the bill, but not nearly as extensive as other bloggers and reporters. Having said that, it seems clear to me that we are in the process of having another massive piece of legislation shoved down our throats. The most notable time that happened was with Obamacare and we can all see how that is working out. Layer upon layer of bureaucratic regulation that does nothing but add burdens of cost to the American people. The current monstrosity the House may be taking up from the Senate is no better.   Continue reading “La Raza Wins Big With Immigration Reform Bill”

The US Marshals Service has lost 2,200 encrypted two-way radios and communication devices valued at $6 million or more, and officials are worried that the devices may have found their way into the hands of criminals.

Losing the devices could pose a security risk for federal judges and endangered witnesses, since criminals who may have obtained the radios could use them to listen in on security details and law-enforcement operations, Marshals officials told the Wall Street Journal.   Continue reading “US marshals lost 2,200 encrypted radios worth $6 mln”

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will be out of a job in a couple months, and rumors have continued to swirl about who will take over the most powerful job in the world.

A few weeks back, we mentioned that Janet Yellen was poised to take control of the Bernanke Helicopter.

But news that Larry Summers has his eye on the job is now trickling out…   Continue reading “Will “Dr. Death” Be the Next Fed Chair? Why Larry Summers is Worse than Bernanke”

Canada recently took over the leadership of the Arctic Council and will be succeeded by the U.S. in 2015. With back-to-back chairmanships, it gives both countries an opportunity to increase cooperation on initiatives that could enhance the development of a shared North American vision for the Arctic. The U.S. has significant geopolitical and economic interests in the high north and have released a new national strategy which seeks to advance their Arctic ambitions. While the region has thus far been peaceful, stable and free of conflict, there is a danger of the militarization of the Arctic. It has the potential to become a front whereby the U.S. and other NATO members are pitted against Russia or even China. In an effort to prevent any misunderstandings, there are calls for the Arctic Council to move beyond environmental issues and become a forum to address defense and security matters.    Continue reading “U.S. Arctic Ambitions and the Militarization of the High North”

Leaked internal data produced by Pakistani officials documenting drone strikes on the ground reveal a high civilian death toll, countering US claims that the targeted assassination campaign results in “exceedingly rare” fatalities.

A 12-page report, titled ‘Details of Attacks by NATO Forces/Predators in FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas)’ describes 75 CIA drone attacks between 2006 and 2009, with death tolls compiled by officials in the turbulent border regions for internal use by the government. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism – a UK news website – says it obtained three identical copies of the classified document from various sources in Pakistan.   Continue reading “At least 1 in 5 drone strike victims a confirmed civilian – leaked Pakistani records”

Now you can keep your shoes on when travelling through the Orwellian TSA ‘security’ checkpoints thanks to a new program that only requires one thing — the complete and utter erosion of your personal privacy.

Instead of cutting the various ‘anti-terrorist’ security functions employed by the TSA that have not caught a single terrorist despite expansive funding and highly invasive techniques that violate our fundamental rights, the TSA is now offering a new ‘quick pass’ system that allows enrolled US citizens through the first few security measures once they are approved by the agency for membership status within the program.   Continue reading “TSA: Give Us Your Fingerprints, Web History and You Can Keep Your Shoes On”

The pension nightmare that is at the heart of the horrific financial crisis in Detroit is just the tip of the iceberg of the coming retirement crisis that will shake America to the core.  Right now, more than 10,000 Baby Boomers are hitting the age of 65 every single day, and this will continue to happen every single day until the year 2030.  As a society, we have made trillions of dollars of financial promises to these Baby Boomers, and there is no way that we are going to be able to keep those promises.  The money simply is not there.    Continue reading “The Tip Of The Iceberg Of The Coming Retirement Crisis That Will Shake America To The Core”
