Seattle’s wireless mesh network, a node of controversy about police surveillance and the role of federal funding in city policing, is coming down.

Megan Erb, spokeswoman for Seattle Information Technology, said the city has budgeted $150,000 for contractor Prime Electric and city employees to remove dozens of surveillance cameras and 158 “wireless access points” — little, off-white boxes with antennae mounted on utility poles around the city.   Continue reading “Surveillance system or public-safety tool?

You’d have to have a real sense of humor failure not to laugh. The news that US billionaire Soros donated £400k to an anti-Brexit group came on the day that YouTube said they found no evidence of Russian interference in Brexit

Repeat After Me (with robotic arm movements): “Unproven Russian involvement in Brexit – terrible! Impose more sanctions on Moscow! A £400k check from an American billionaire for an anti-Brexit campaigning group – that’s no problem; it’s helping our democracy!”   Continue reading “Soros & the £400k Question: What constitutes ‘foreign interference’ in democracy?”

Attorney Kyle Bristow told The Associated Press that Spencer’s tour organizer, Cameron Padgett, is now hoping that the appearance can be rescheduled for summer or fall. A message was left Monday for a UC spokesman.   Continue reading “White nationalist’s planned campus visit off”

One thing is for sure, when the Israeli people find out about corrupt leaders, they move quick, they’re not like America, where  corrupt leaders skate seemingly forever after allegations of murder, money laundering, misappropriated charity funds, illegal favors for cash hidden under the guise of worthless speeches that did nothing to further America’s well being.

Last night, an explosion at a San Juan power plant regressed Puerto Rico’s efforts to restore power to the island five months after Hurricane Maria struck a massive blow. Much of Northern Puerto Rico has suffered another blackout, including the capital city.

The island’s Electric Power Authority said several municipalities were without power, including parts of the capital, San Juan, but they were optimistic it could be restored within a day as they worked to repair a substation that controls voltage…

Last week, President Trump’s Department of Labor (DOL) hid an internal analysis that showed that its so-called tip-pooling rule would allow employers to pocket billions in workers’ tips. They claimed that they were “unable to quantify” the rule’s effects. But we now know that they did, in fact, conduct an analysis—they just didn’t want the American public to see the result, so they buried it.

I discussed what happened and what this policy is all about with Heidi Shierholz, senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute and former chief economist at the Department of Labor under President Obama.   Continue reading “The Department of Labor Buried Evidence Showing It’s Set to Steal Billions in Workers’ Wages”

Haaretz recently summed up Israeli Prime Minister’s legal woes. His wife will soon be arrested for a $110,000 fraud. Even his son is under possible indictment for accepting illegal gifts. In one case Thyssen Krupp’s man in Israel has already accepted a plea bargain which includes one year in jail. That case will take down Netanyahu’s key supporters within the government. And then are three other cases that could put Netanyahu in jail. The Israeli Attorney General might be a member of the cabinet but he is serious about these forthcoming indictments.   Continue reading “Bibi Netanyahu’s Very Bad Idea. Risk WW III To Avoid Jail”

Nashville – The Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals has ruled that individuals cannot be convicted of “Driving Under the Influence” if their test results come from forensics labs that receive financial incentives for positive results to lead to their convictions.

It may seem like an obvious conclusion, but the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has been generating around $3 million in revenue each year from the $250 fine motorists are forced to pay for the test, if they are convicted.   Continue reading “Convictions Thrown Out After Police Caught Paying Labs for Positive DUI Test Results”

Secretary of Defense James Mattis stated on or about February 2nd, 2018 that the United States has “no evidence” that the Syrian government used the banned nerve agent Sarin against its own people in attacks in 2013 and 2017.

The most recent accusation provoked a massive Tomahawk strike ordered by President Trump that was quite provocative in the eyes of the Russian Federation and of course the Syrian government.   Continue reading “US Finally Admits “No Evidence” Assad Used Sarin Gas”

Amid the worst flu-season in nearly a decade, a Japanese drugmaker is hard at work conducting late stage trials on a pill that they say can kill the flu virus within a day – a third of the time it takes Roche AG’s Tamiflu.

Both drugs take roughly the same amount of time to completely contain flu symptoms, but Shionogi says its treatment provides immediately relief much faster. Considering that the U.S. has been hit by one of the worst flu epidemics in years, with the most intense rates of transmission since 2009, the Japanese company’s treatment can’t come quickly enough.  Continue reading “Experimental Drug That Kills The Flu In 24 Hours May Come To U.S. Next Year”
