(Source: Natural News) – A newly released study funded in part by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center predicts a Roman-style collapse of Western civilization unless resources and wealth are distributed more “equitably.”

The study warns of a coming “collapse” within a few decades and attempts to avoid being viewed as fringe or controversial by attempting to make sense of historical data indicating that “the process of rise-and-collapse is actually a recurrent cycle found throughout history.”   Continue reading “NASA warns how ‘powerful, complex societies’ are subject to immediate collapse”

The World Privacy Forum report: ‘How Secret Consumer Scores Threaten Your Privacy and Your Future’ highlights the unexpected problems that arise from new types of predictive consumer scoring, which this report terms consumer scoring. Largely unregulated either by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, new consumer scores use thousands of pieces of information about consumers’ pasts to predict how they will behave in the future. Issues of secrecy, fairness of underlying factors, use of consumer information such as race and ethnicity in predictive scores, accuracy, and the uptake in both use and ubiquity of these scores are key areas of focus.   Continue reading “How secret consumer scores threaten our privacy”

The Government Rag- by Stephanie Sledge

Over the past few decades, America has seen a steady increase of police departments across the nation subscribe and incorporate ‘Elite’ crime fighting teams called Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT).

As investigators attempt to put together the pieces surrounding the most recent mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, it didn’t take long for the mainstream media to begin fabricating its own narratives as to why Ivan Lopez may have targeted twenty soldiers last week.

Following reports that Lopez was an outspoken critic of previous mass shootings via his Facebook page and that he was suffering from symptoms related to post-traumatic stress disorder, CNN’s Pamela Brown says she spoke with an anonymous source who indicates the disturbed shooter was stockpiling large amounts of ammunition, having returned to the local Killeen, TX gun shop where he bought his gun on multiple occasions to purchase additional rounds.   Continue reading “Mainstream Media Warns: Fort Hood Shooter Was “Stockpiling Weapons and Ammunition””
