HARTFORD (CN) – In a bizarre twist to a civil rights issue, a news photographer claims in a federal lawsuit that Hartford police wrongfully arrested him for using a drone to photograph a fatal car accident – at an elevation of 150 feet, far too high to interfere with police, as officers claimed.

Pedro Rivera, a photographer and editor for a local television news station, claims he was not breaking any laws or hindering emergency operations by recording police activity after a Feb. 1 fatal car accident.   Continue reading “U.S. Newsman Says He Was Arrested for Using a Drone Camera”

A new surveillance idea in Seattle is putting some people on edge photoKIRO News – by Essex Porter

SEATTLE — A new surveillance idea in Seattle is putting some people on edge. Police want to use facial recognition technology to scan surveillance video to identify possible criminals. But the proposal comes after the National Security Agency scandals sparked the revelations of Edward Snowden. Now many people are worried about their privacy rights, including the right not to be monitored by their government.   Continue reading “Seattle police want to digitally scan surveillance video”

Everyday I check the weather. Its fun to me. I check the earthquake maps. I check the radar maps. I check the radiation maps. I check the space weather sites. I check ocean currents and wind conditions. Yes FTTWR is one of my ‘weather’ sites as well. From underground to outer space I like to monitor what is happening.

I recently came across a new site(to me) called nullschool.net . In my opinion this is one of the best real time weather map sites I’ve ever found and I want to share it with everyone at FTTWR.    Continue reading “Real Time Weather Map”

By now everyone knows that the Chinese credit bubble has hit unprecedented proportions. If they don’t, we remind them with the following chart of total bank “assets” (read debt) added since the collapse of Lehman: China literally puts the US to shame, where in addition to everything, the only actual source of incremental credit growth over the same time period has been the Fed as banks have used reserves as margin for risk purchases instead of lending.    Continue reading ““The Pig In The Python Is About To Be Expelled”: A Walk Thru Of China’s Hard Landing, And The Upcoming Global Harder Reset”

BARACK OBAMA:   Let me be perfectly clear, if the chickens like their eggs they can keep their eggs. No chicken will be required to cross the road to surrender her eggs.

HILLARY CLINTON:  What difference at this point does it make why the chicken crossed the road.

GEORGE W. BUSH:  We don’t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or against us.  There is no middle ground here.            Continue reading “A non-partisan Why did the chicken cross the road?”

Access to potable water is a problem in much of the world, but the impact is felt especially hard in the coastal deserts of Peru. There, annual rainfall is a mere half an inch, but atmospheric humidity is abundant – about 98 percent.

In 2008, Joe the Plumber correctly identified Obama’s policies as socialistic when Obama responded to Joe’s question concerning the candidate’s small business tax policy by saying, “when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” This statement is a foundational tenant of socialism straight out of Marx’s Communist Manifesto.   Continue reading “Obama and the Ten Planks of Communism from Marx’s Manifesto”

You won’t necessarily sacrifice comfort by living in a tiny house,  at least not according to work-at-home husband and wife team Andrew and Gabriella Morrison. They live in a 221 square foot home, which is dubbed hOMe. The tiny hose is designed in a way that maximizes each part of the living space, giving the appearance of being a much larger house than it is. The home greatly resembles a shipping container from the outside due to its shape, and is only 8 feet and 6 inches wide.   Continue reading “A tiny home that appears much larger than it actually is”
