A runaway strain of malware hit Windows computers Friday and spread through the weekend, rendering hundreds of thousands of computers around the world more or less useless. The big twist: The virus was made possible by U.S. government hackers at the National Security Agency. But the finger-pointing won’t stop there, and it probably shouldn’t.

As the worm, known as WannaCry, has been contained, more free time has opened up in which to argue and assign blame beyond the anonymous hackers who used leaked NSA code to assemble the virus, and whatever party decided to turn it into ransomware. Microsoft isn’t holding back.   Continue reading “The Real Roots Of The Worldwide Ransomware Outbreak: Militarism And Greed”

Stratford, CT — Sadly, America will add Jayson Negron’s name to the list of more than 1,000 people killed by police each year. Negron, a 15-year-old Sophomore at Bunnell High School in Stratford, had gone on a joyride May 9th, in someone else’s car. But Negron received the death penalty for his sins after encountering Bridgeport police officer James Boulay.

Police employ a number of ways to stop a fleeing automobile. Stop sticks often do the trick, immobilizing the tires by puncturing them. Then there’s the box method whereby officers surround a suspect vehicle with two or three other cars, and squeeze in, causing the car to come to a stop.

Earlier reports of Syrian forces moving towards Deir ez-Zour and, hence, Western troops has now apparently been confirmed. According to reports from numerous sources, the Syrian soldiers are growing ever closer to a joint US/UK Special Forces Base.

The base, located at al-Tanf, has been operational for around a year. Reports suggest that the Syrian military troops are within 15 miles of the base.   Continue reading “Syrian Forces Heading Toward US/UK Base In Syria – Reports Say SAA 15 Miles Away”

The federal H1b program is intended to allow foreign workers into the US to do high-skill jobs for which employers can’t find qualified domestic workers. In reality, it’s a way for US employers to lower their labor costs, ignoring the large pool of fully qualified (but more expensive) US workers in favor of cheap foreign labor.

This isn’t a small program, either; in 2014 there were 124,326 new applications approved and 191,531 renewed. Since this is a three-year program with one possible renewal, the total number of H1b foreign workers in the US is triple that, or close to a million lower-wage workers in positions that should otherwise go to US workers at much higher wages.  Continue reading “The H1b scam”

The Kentucky Court of Appeals ruled Friday that a Christian printer is free to turn down jobs that conflict with his religious beliefs.

In 2012, the Gay and Lesbian Services Organization (GLSO) filed a complaint against Blaine Adamson, the owner of Hands on Originals in Lexington, after he declined the job of printing T-shirts for a local Gay Pride festival. Though Adamson referred the activists to another printing company, and they ended up obtaining the shirts at no cost to them, GLSO’s complaint with the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission landed Adamson a ruling that would have required him to take on jobs at his business that force him to abandon his faith principles.   Continue reading “Kentucky Court Rules Christian Printer May Decline Gay Pride T-Shirt Job”

The mainstream media has just been given a green light by the Massachusetts Attorney General to openly publish death threats against so-called “anti-vaxxers” (a derogatory term which means anyone who questions the sanity of injecting children with mercury, a brain-damaging heavy metal and known neurotoxin). Proof of this is found in the letter shown below.   Continue reading “Massachusetts Attorney General says it’s okay for mainstream media to publish death threats against “anti-vaxxers””

I see much hoopla nowadays about Donald Trump having come to power by way of a coup. I see various left-wing-but-mainstream outlets advocating that we stop calling Donald Trump our President. This is entirely wrong-headed, and is the next step toward our downfall as a nation. This story has played out before, and will play itself out again if we do nothing to stop it. This is a critical time for our nation. We are on our way to a revolution, one which must be crushed, if this insanity is not stopped. The cure may be as bad as the disease.   Continue reading “The American Bolshevik Revolution Is Afoot”

Yet another police officer is speaking out against the drug war, this time in the United Kingdom. Former officer Neil Woods worked as an undercover drug cop for 14 years, infiltrating some of the most violent gangs in Britain only to learn his tactics were worsening the drug epidemic. Now, he advocates ending the drug war and decriminalizing drugs as he admits his own role in fueling violence and the proliferation of narcotics.

Woods recently spoke with the Independent to make his case and recount the struggles he faced enforcing the British government’s drug war. He was first enlisted by the Home Office to tackle the crack cocaine epidemic in the early 1990s, an effort that apparently ‘pleased the crown.’   Continue reading “Drug Cop Who Spent 14 Years Undercover Tells Truth About the Drug War”

The US military has become the biggest polluter domestically and internationally, a new report says, warning that hundreds of American military bases across the world are “gravely contaminated.”

The US Defense Department alone produces more hazardous waste than the five largest US chemical companies combined, creating a toxic trail over the world comprised of depleted uranium, oil, jet fuel, pesticides, defoliants like Agent Orange and lead, MintPress News reported Monday.   Continue reading “US military ‘world’s biggest polluter’: Report”

A recent measles outbreak that has caused dozens of Somali-Americans living in Minnesota to contract the highly contagious virus has been traced to an anti-vaccination campaign linking the potentially life-saving immunizations to autism, state health officials said on Monday.

According to Live Science, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) revealed Friday that it had confirmed 54 cases of measles in the state. All but three of those cases involved children under the age of 18, and the majority of them had not been vaccinated, they revealed in a report.   Continue reading “Minnesota measles outbreak blamed on anti-vaxxers”
