ed note–A fascinating 5 minute podcast discussion between 2 Jews discussing the biblical character Jacob (who later would be called Israel and is considered the ‘father’ of the Israelite nation) and how his trickery and dishonesty–having never been subjected to a rigorous moral examination by the followers of this peculiar cult–has colored the thinking patterns and behaviors of Jews throughout the centuries. Furthermore, as our 2 Hebraic hosts make clear, the discussion reveals how the absence of any moral examination vis a vis Jacob and his theft has led to ‘persecution’ and ‘anti-Shemitism’, but why–for the sake of revering the ‘patriarchs’–the entire biblical ordeal dealing with Jacob stealing his brother Esau’s inheritance from him via the mechanism of trickery needs to be overlooked or at the very least excused.

Connected toy makers should make clear what data they slurp up, the UK’s Office of the Children’s Commissioner has said in a report warning of the long-term impact of amassing data on kids.
According to the report (PDF), young folk will have sent out an average of 70,000 social media posts by the time they reach 18, while snap-happy parents will have uploaded 1,300 photos and videos of their offspring online before they become teenagers. Added to that is the data gathered through the schools and healthcare systems. Continue reading “As if connected toys weren’t creepy enough, kids’ data could be used against them in future”

Millions of citizens in the US and Europe greeted the peace – declared 100 years ago on Sunday – with jubilation as it meant the end of four years of brutal trench warfare and mechanized slaughter that killed 16 million had finally come to an end.

As smart meters make their way across the United States, a growing number of people are vocalizing concerns about the devices and consumer privacy rights. The Fourth Amendment was designed to protect Americans from government surveillance and other forms of government overreach. Now, a federal court in Illinois has ruled that right is negotiable — provided it is in the government’s best interest.
Even after officials ruled that smart meters are a form of government search and seizure, federal courts say that the information gathered by smart meters (and consequently, city-run utilities companies) is “reasonable,” and therefore not in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Continue reading “Court rules that your 4th amendment right to privacy, especially when it comes to smart meters, is a “privilege””

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. (Nov. 6, 2018) – Voters in eight Oregon counties have passed ballot measures that set the stage to create what supporters call “gun rights sanctuary” counties.
Second Amendment Preservation Ordinances on the ballot passed in 8 of 10 counties today. They create a mechanism to “guarantee that no county funds will be used to enforce gun laws that are believed to violate the Second Amendment, including registration rules and limitations on semi-automatic weapons and ammunition,” according to a report in the News-Review of Douglas County.

The supervisor of elections in Florida’s heavily Democratic Palm Beach County said Sunday that she did not believe her department would meet a Thursday deadline to complete recounts in the Sunshine State’s historically tight gubernatorial and Senate races, threatening to further confuse an increasingly chaotic and politically fraught process.
The supervisor, Susan Bucher, told reporters that she did not expect to meet the deadline due to aging equipment. Florida Department of State spokeswoman Sarah Revell told Fox News that under state law, if a county does not submit their results by the deadline, then the results on file at the time take their place. Revell added that Florida’s Secretary of State has no authority to grant extensions. Continue reading “Nation watches as Sunshine State descends into election recount, lawsuit madness”
