COOPERSTOWN — When police are called out to deal with shootings, hostage incidents or other emergencies, they rarely know what’s on the other side of the door separating them from the possible mayhem inside.

Entering a barricaded home can pose especially grave dangers, according to law enforcement officials. But to spare officers from having to jeopardize their lives in such situations, police agencies across the country are turning to high-tech equipment such as tactical robots.   Continue reading “Sheriff asks county to approve police robot”

NEWPORT Rhode Island (Reuters) – Russia and China are trying to close the technology gap with the U.S. military and developing weapons systems that appear designed to counter traditional U.S. advantages, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said on Wednesday.

Hagel was speaking before a NATO summit expected to bring Russia’s souring relations with the West into sharp focus and the goals of NATO allies to strengthen defense spending.   Continue reading “Russia, China aim to close military technology gap with U.S.: Hagel”

Numerous articles about the NSA have been circulated. Any and all that dismiss the AT&T-Israeli-Mossad-Unit 8200-Converse-Boeing connection(s) are either intentionally misleading or unintentionally dilettante whereas this link was merely part of a greater learning curve. This article has sources that cannot be named; however, feel free to ask your elected officials about buckeyball euthanasia vacuum shells…

It is the intention of this article to look at the “intelligence community” in an entirely new way. For starters, Glen Greenwald and the Guardian crew wrote about the NSA a full six years after a friend of mine stumbled across NSA Prism. Let’s look at the NSA/Greenwald/Guardian “intelligence” a bit differently… It is nearly fall 2014: the email. websurfing, cell-phone, land-phone-line snooping and TV channel-surfing data mining mentioned by the Guardian is vintage 1990’s technology. Mining data from internetwork-datagrams is partying like it’s 1999, albeit with only a few new tweaks and perks.   Continue reading “NSA – National Security Agency – Extrapolate Postmodum Prosum”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – California legislators have passed a bill that would give immigrant students residing in the country illegally tens of thousands of dollars, in addition to scholarship money they may already be receiving, to attend four-year colleges in The Golden State. But not so fast if you think Democrat Governor Jerry Brown is eagerly waiting to sign the bill.

SB 1210 creates the California Dream Loan Program and was authored by state Senator Ricardo Lara of Bell Gardens. It piggybacks off 2011 legislation that allows illegal immigrant students to apply for scholarships and grants under the California Dream Act. Individual students could apply for up to $4,000 a year. It would make available $9.2 million for University of California and California State University campuses.   Continue reading “California legislature passes bill to give school loans to illegal immigrant students”

HOUSTON, Texas — More than 6,000 immigrants, who came to the U.S. using student visas, are nowhere to be found on their school campuses. They have vanished.

Peter Edge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told ABC that some of the foreigners “could be here to do us harm. … My greatest concern is that they could be doing anything.”   Continue reading “Thousands of Immigrants ‘Disappear’ After Being Let into US With Student Visas”

In the midst of the summer recess, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) issued a press release on Aug. 21 concerning a letter he wrote to the Department of Homeland Security seeking details about the release of 36,007 illegal aliens last year who had been convicted of a crime and were released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while awaiting deportation proceedings.

The June 9 inquiry, addressed to DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, led to the revelation that of those thousands released, 169 had been convicted of “homicide-related” offenses.   Continue reading “ICE Released 169 Illegal Aliens Convicted of ‘Homicide-Related’ Crimes”

As fighting between the army and Russian-backed rebels rages in eastern Ukraine, preparations are under way near its western border for a joint military exercise this month with more than 1,000 troops from the United States and its allies.

The decision to go ahead with the Rapid Trident exercise Sept. 16-26 is seen as a sign of the commitment of NATO states to support non-NATO member Ukraine while stopping well short of military intervention in the conflict.   Continue reading “U.S., allies to stage exercises in West Ukraine as battles rage in East”

Millions of children under five die every year due to toxic germ-infested unsafe drinking water. This means that almost four babies a minute die from a lack of water according to UN-Water’s estimations. In the 2014 World Water Report released on the eve of World Water Day, the UN said that 768 million people do not have adequate access to  water, 2.5 billion do not have access to improved sanitation.
