If there was any doubt that the military has new confidence in its forthcoming laser arsenal, the Navy’s top geeks want to outfit Marines with a laser cannon to shoot small drones out of the sky.

Its answer: outfit Marine ground vehicles with laser guns.   Continue reading “Navy Wants Lasers on Marines’ Trucks to Shoot Down Drones”

Over the weekend the secret service responded to anonymous tips that a man in an Ohio restaurant was making threats against president Obama.  Apparently the man was overheard saying that he was going to “take Obama out”.

Eisenhower, and even has the paperwork to prove it, according to local police.   Continue reading “Secret Service Detains Son of Dwight D. Eisenhower for Alleged “Threats” Against Obama : Report”

It was a scene familiar to any nostalgia buff: all-night lines waiting for the banks (first in Ohio, then in Maryland) to open; pompous but mendacious assurances by the bankers that all is well and that the people should go home; a stubborn insistence by depositors to get their money out; and the consequent closing of the banks by government, while at the same time the banks were permitted to stay in existence and collect the debts due them by their borrowers.   Continue reading “Anatomy of the Bank Run”

One has to wonder how Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri benefited by sliding in that nasty little rider that putsMonsanto above the law?  Not unlike Judas Iscariot, Blunt used his position to betray those who trusted him, but it appears that the senator got more than 30 pieces of silver.

As an elected official, Senator Blunt is obligated to promote the wishes of the people.  All of them, not just the ones with money.

Let’s go down the rabbit hole and explore why Blunt might have done such a thing.   Continue reading “Sen. Roy Blunt: Monsanto’s Congressional Judas”

A Buffalo Wild Wings waitress refused to serve eight Virginia police officers because their guns were in full view in what the apologetic restaurant manager now says was a “misunderstanding.”

The plainclothes Prince William County police officers stopped in at the Manassas restaurant on March 20, presumably to dig in to the popular chain’s specialty, but never got the chance. An unidentified server told them they would have to put their service guns out of sight before being served. Scott Lupton, general manager of the store, said he heard about the incident from Daryl LaClair, a local man who contacted restaurant representatives afterward. Lupton denied reports that the county’s Finest were asked to leave.   Continue reading “Buffalo Wild Wings sorry after gun-fearing waitress refuses to serve cops”

If your daily routine took you from one homegrown organic garden to another, bypassing vast fields choked with pesticides, you might feel pretty good about the current state of agriculture.

If your daily routine takes you from one noncommercial progressive website to another, you might feel pretty good about the current state of the Internet.

But while mass media have supplied endless raptures about a digital revolution, corporate power has seized the Internet — and the anti-democratic grip is tightening every day.   Continue reading “Digital Grab: Corporate Power Has Seized the Internet”
