The Statesman published a really great, in-depth story about the emerging drone industry in Austin, led by DJI Innovations, a Chinese company that’s recently set up shop in the overly-hip high tech hub.
Here’s a quick recap and critique (the story’s got some bias-I mean problems), but if you’re an Austinite, consider buying a premium online subscription to the Statesman; it’s pretty nifty. Continue reading “Forget Weird, More Like Well-Monitored – Drones Coming to Austin”
GAZA CITY (Ma’an) — Egypt’s army is preparing for a large-scale military operation in Sinai, an army official said Sunday, as forces sealed more smuggling tunnels along the Gaza border.

Governments Spy On Their Citizens for Control and Power
Top terrorism experts say that mass spying on Americans doesn’t keep us safe.
High-level American government officials have warned for 40 years that mass surveillance would lead to tyranny. They’ve warned that the government is using information gained through mass surveillance in order to go after anyone they take a dislike to. And a lieutenant colonel for the Stasi East German’s –based upon his experience – agrees. Continue reading “Government Spying Has Always Focused On Crushing Dissent … Not On Keeping Us Safe”

A surprising statement by a government official in eastern China’s Jiangsu province has captured the attention of internet users after it was caught on video and posted online on Sunday.
“If the police don’t beat people, what’s the point of keeping them?” said an unidentified official of a complaint bureau in Suzhou. “The police are the government’s violence machine.” Continue reading “It’s the police’s job to beat people, Chinese official says in viral video”

SAN FRANCISCO — The tragic crash of Asiana “Flight 214″ that left two 16-year old girls dead Saturday, possibly might have more to it than meets the eye.
The Chicago Tribune reported the official story explaining how the, “NTSB Chair Deborah Hersman, speaking at a news conference at the airport, said there were no indications of any problems with the plane or the landing until 7 seconds before impact, when the crew tried to increase the plane’s speed. Hersman said data recorders show the plane was traveling “significantly below” the planned speed. Continue reading “Witness Silenced: Is there More To Asiana Flight 214′s Crash?”
News reports over the past six months concerning illegal government snooping on citizens and a distressing disregard for Constitutional rights have served to alert many in the populace that their government has become an unrecognizable malevolent force that pits the elitist power structure against “we the people.” Continue reading “Secret court creates 100 pages of new law hidden from public”

Doctors under contract with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation sterilized nearly 150 female inmates from 2006 to 2010 without required state approvals, the Center for Investigative Reporting has found.
At least 148 women received tubal ligations in violation of prison rules during those five years – and there are perhaps 100 more dating back to the late 1990s, according to state documents and interviews. Continue reading “Female inmates sterilized in California prisons without approval”

I have a source who has posted this photo and description on their Facebook account showing a US soldier guarding land that will be turned into a ‘waste pit’. Observe..

Attention, Topeka residents: John Kerry, who owns a $7 million yacht, a $7 million Beacon Hill townhome, a $9 million ocean-front Nantucket home, a $5 million Idaho ski retreat, a $4 million estate in Pennsylvania, and a $5 million home in Georgetown, wants you to undergo mandatory lifestyle cutbacks to prevent CO2-induced bad weather.

Last Ranch on the Right – by Loadup12
A nation governed by the rule of law. We are free men and women who live not at the mercy of fiat or public opinion, but rather operating under a Constitution that spells out the limits and role of government and protects the rights of individuals and the States. Sounds good in theory but how much of it remains? The Constitution and the rule of law are under assault. Continue reading “Dismantling the Constitution”

Dear President,
I’m planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me. We’re planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico and we’ll need your help to make a few arrangements. We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I’m sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, the President of Mexico, that I’m on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following: Continue reading “Mr. President, I’m Moving to Mexico”
Sandpoint, Idaho — The American Red Cross (ARC) is widely considered a great American institution. It is generally thought of as among the world’s premier humanitarian organizations. Clearly, almost everyone thinks of it as a life-saving agency. Most people know this non-governmental organization (NGO) to be heavily dependant upon the blood and currency generously donated by the American people. But, what if all of the above is untrue? What if everything you think you know about the American Red Cross is a ghastly nauseating lie? Continue reading “The American Red Double Cross”

A massive explosion last Thursday at a major Syrian weapons depot in Latakia, not far from the main port of Tartus, completely destroyed the facility and munitions stored there.
Tartus is Syria’s main port. It is largely controlled by the Russian military, and the route by which all weapons transported by sea would enter Syria. As such, any advanced Russian weaponry would enter via Tartous and might be stored in the Latakia depot.

It’s difficult to see what TPTB (the powers that be) will do next. But I think we shouldn’t be reactionaries; instead we should lead the curve. Too much does the introvert personalities think they have to anticipate the next moves on this grand, moving chess board.
While it’s great to call moves ahead of time, like a master financial analyst, or a fighting champion, few people ever consider taking the lead, making the game, making the rules as you go, and making your own universe. Continue reading “Do not fear the Elite, for they fear you”
LAC-MEGANTIC,QUE.– As the body count – now at five – rises after a devastating train explosion in this town 250 kilometres east of Montreal, officials say it is conceivable that some of the 40 people unaccounted for may have simply vaporized in the blast.
That was the grim admission of Genevieve Gaudrault, a spokesperson for the provincial coroner’s office Sunday afternoon. Continue reading “Lac Megantic: Death toll rises in Quebec train derailment explosion”
I would hazard the guess that most people involved in any level of “tactical” shooting today have at least heard of the term “OODA loop.” Whether they are liberty-minded, Constitutional Patriots, Jack-booted Stasi wannabes, or power-lifting, door-kicking, military special operations gunslingers, you can’t spend much time studying gunfighting and not come across the term. If you are completely unfamiliar with the term, I can confidently say, you are NOT ready to be in a fight. Continue reading “Going to Guns: A Critical Introduction to the OODA Cycle”

Hillary Clinton has long been rumored to be a rather vulgar conversationalist when cameras aren’t rolling.
According to a Washington Post piece about Mark Leibovich’s new book “This Town,” then Secretary of State Clinton once said, “[Expletive] the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.” Continue reading “Hillary Clinton: ‘F–k The White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner’”
Crash survivor says everyone on plane had to be interviewed by FBI before they could be allowed to leave 06 Jul 2013
Moments after Asiana Airlines flight 214 stopped its violent crash landing, a voice came over the plane’s intercom to say it had landed safely and everyone should stay in their seats, a passenger told ABC News. Within minutes, however, flames could be seen outside the plane’s windows and smoke was seeping into the cabin… Continue reading “Crash survivor says everyone on plane had to be interviewed by FBI before they could be allowed to leave”
