World Events and the Bible

WEB Notes: The flood of lies is well underway and Satan and his fallen angels have not yet arrived. We can see 1 Thes 5:3 truly coming to life. There is no peace, because it is a lie from the start. This is nothing compared to the flood of lies Satan and his fallen angels will bring with him. He will claim to be Christ and his angels who have come to restore the Kingdom of God, but it is a lie. Have you read?

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife are accused of taking at least $165,000 in loans and gifts to help the chief executive of a health supplement company peddle his products. But proving the couple broke the law may be difficult.

Legal experts say the case hinges on whether prosecutors can show that McDonnell agreed to provide specific favors in exchange for the gifts, a tough task given the fine line between what is illegal versus what is unseemly. And prosecutors will need to prove the McDonnells abused their positions and conspired together to sell their influence.   Continue reading “Lawyers: Case against ex-Va. governor no slam dunk”

The type and amount of personal, family, and non-academic data collected by the schools, reported in state longitudinal databases and used for research by the federal government was stimulated by the passage of the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA) and has grown rapidly since then.  Loss of student and family data privacy has been accelerated by the proliferation of education programs funded by the federal government, especially in the early childhood realm and including home visiting programs that collect a plethora of medical, psychological, and family data and the effort to integrate standards, programs and data literally from “cradle to career” through P-20W education program integration.   Continue reading “Common Core creates a womb-to-tomb dossier on kids and families”

Verizon says federal, state and local authorities asked it to hand over user data 321,545 times in 2013, in a report it vowed to produce following the National Security Agency revelations made by former contractor Edward Snowden.

The vast majority of requests, about 164,000, came from law enforcement subpoenas, followed by about 71,000 court orders. In 2013, the company fielded 7,800 requests for real-time information about a person’s outbound and inbound calls — but of those, only about 1,500 were actual wiretap requests leading to the surveillance of a call’s content.   Continue reading “Verizon transparency report reveals 320,000 data requests in 2013”
