Israel is by far the largest exporter of military drones in the world.

Take the AirMule fromUrbanAero. It could have flown right off the pages of a Batman comic book.

Designed to take off and land vertically with up to 1,400 pounds of cargo and zip through the air at over 100mph, this drone is set to transport injured soldiers from urban war zones where standard helicopters simply cannot fly.   Continue reading “Israeli drones are about to take over the world’s skies”

Apple has accused the US government of “attempts to rewrite history”, saying that Founding Fathers “would be appalled” by Department of Justice and FBI’s requests. The corporation is fighting demands to unlock the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone.

In its last court filing before it squares off against the FBI in federal court in California next week, Apple said that the US government was trying to “stretch” the All Writs Act to fit its needs, but doing so would “usurp the legislative function and to improperly extend the limited federal court jurisdiction.”   Continue reading “‘Founders would be appalled’: Apple accuses FBI, DoJ of trying to ‘rewrite history’”

Rogue Money – by Ken Schortgen, Jr.

Over the past four months, several Western nations have toyed with the idea of giving monthly stipends directly to their peoples whether they were working or not.  And primarily, these ‘helicopter money’ programs were being formulated in energy based countries where the lower prices have nearly devastated their economies.

Going back to December, when Finland began proposing an 800 euro monthly payment to every citizen, and forward to earlier this month where the province of Ontario, Canada is in serious discussion to give out their own flat-rate stipend to their citizens, the trend of ultimate quantitative easing is now not simply a fringe desperate measure for governments and central banks, but it is becoming the next step in the Keynesian model for supporting an economy.

No better example on how the actually world operates can be found than the Corporatist argument that all the opposition to TPP is just wrong. Really ??? Understand that the record of trade agreements have been greatly beneficial to Transnational Corporations. So it is natural that enterprises that seek to crush competition, favor the term FREE, when in reality the practice of conducting commerce on highly structured agreements, eliminates upstarts and squeeze out weak rivals. TPP has finally taken off the mask for all to see.

Still, the sway of the corporatocracy influence is so powerful that establishment economists, main stream business media, and election money dependent politicians are beating the drums in spite of the growing public opposition to the disastrous consequences in TPP.   Continue reading “Corporatists Mobilize to Prevent TPP Opposition”

The Department of Justice’s latest filing ups the ante on this topic by claiming it could compel Apple to give up the source code for iOS itself, so the government could make the appropriate modifications.   Continue reading “The gloves are off: FBI argues it can force Apple to turn over iPhone source code”

Measles, a disease that was considered eliminated 16 years ago in the U.S., has made a comeback in which a “substantial proportion” of the cases are associated with vaccine refusal, a study suggests.

The study, recently published in the March 15 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, says “the phenomenon of vaccine refusal” increases the risk for measles among individuals who are not vaccinated or refuse to get vaccinated, and also among those who are already fully vaccinated.   Continue reading “Vaccine refusal linked to recent U.S. measles outbreak, study suggests”
