A new report from the Department of Defense outlines the military’s capability to deter cyber threats with some pretty heavy firepower, including nuclear weapons.

The paper written by the Defense Science Board described the best types of bombs to use on hackers to be “Global selective strike systems e.g. penetrating bomber, submarines with long range cruise missiles, Conventional Prompt Global Strike (CPGS), survivable national and combatant command,” while “Nuclear weapons would remain the ultimate response and anchor the deterrence ladder” for cyber threats.

It sounds like some wild conspiracy theory or like something out of a science fiction movie, but it’s true: it’s possible that while you’re watching your television, it could be watching you.

A security firm has discovered a glitch in Samsung’s Smart TV that “can give hackers access to the device’s built-in camera and microphones, allowing them to watch everything you do,” RT.com reported recently. Continue reading “Is your television watching YOU? Smart TVs can spy on their owners”

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Bumble Bee Foods LLC has more than doubled the size of its recall of some of its 5-ounce canned tuna because of a risk that the fish could become contaminated and spoil.

Bumble Bee said late Thursday that it’s now recalling 51,000 cases of canned tuna, up from its original 22,500 cases. Each case contains 24 to 48 cans. The company said that some cans’ seals may not be tight enough. Loose seals could let in germs and spoil the tuna, sickening an eater.

In Soviet times, the Ministry of Defense was working on a secret project aimed at creating a superhuman with paranormal abilities. Under this project, a group of scientists managed to get in touch with a foreign civilization. The head of this top-secret project shared some details with reporters for the first time.

On a regular winter day in Moscow, in the comfort a room with a fireplace, journalists were given a real sensation. A senior retired official of the Ministry of Defense, lieutenant-general in reserve, PhD, a fellow of the Academy of Natural Sciences Alexey Savin said that in the late 1980’s a group of researchers from the Expert Management Unit of General Staff managed to make a contact with representatives of another civilization. Interestingly, none of the journalists were particularly surprised but, rather, relieved with the “confession.” Continue reading “X-Files of Soviet Defense Ministry exposed”

I’ve written on a similar topic before, and it is a little against the grain of popular commentary,  but the quote along the lines of “don’t attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity” comes to mind.

I had an interesting week, which brought this into focus for me. I wrote before on this blog about the fact that I still serve in the US Army Reserves, which means that I have to be careful about political comments; the best example being the political office of President also being one and the same with Commander in Chief, thus leaving me open to disciplinary action under UCMJ if I was to be too disparaging about the current incumbent.  Continue reading “The Danger of Attributing Malice to Stupidity”

Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, said today that President Obama “really ought to consider” returning his Nobel Peace Prize Medal immediately, including the “really nice” case it came in.

Jagland, flanked by the other four members of the Committee, said they’d never before asked for the return of a Peace Prize, “even from a damnable war-criminal like Kissinger,” but that the 10% drawdown in US troops in Afghanistan the President announced last week capped a period of “non-Peace-Prize-winner-type behavior” in 2011.   Continue reading “Nobel Committee Asks Obama “Nicely” To Return Peace Prize”

In a terrifying brush with violence, the administrators of Schall Elementary School in Caro, Michigan have boldly done what was necessary in order to protect a classroom of vulnerable 3rd graders.

They have taken a little boy’s birthday cupcakes and confiscated those frosted harbingers of evil.

Why?  you may be asking yourself.  Oh my gosh, were the cupcakes poisoned?  Were there razor blades baked inside of them, fiendishly awaiting the opportunity to cut little mouths? Continue reading “Michigan Elementary School Confiscates “Insensitive” Cupcakes”

He was one of Latin America’s most notable leaders. His charisma was special. It was real. His spirit lives.

An era ended with his passing. He was the world’s leading anti-imperialist hero. He spoke truth to power. He did so courageously. He risked his life doing it. Continue reading “Chavez: A Personal Tribute – Stephen Lendman”
