Analysts believe that insurgents in Afghanistan form similar networks to street gangs in the US. So the software for analyzing these networks abroad ought to work just as well at home, say military researchers.

In the last 10 years or so, researchers have revolutionized the way military analysts think about insurgency and the groups of people involved in it. Their key insight is that insurgency tends to run in families and in social networks that are held together by common beliefs.   Continue reading “How Military Counterinsurgency Software Is Being Adapted To Tackle Gang Violence in Mainland USA”

The European Parliament has called for the scrapping of two agreements granting the US access to European financial and travel data, unless Washington reveals the full extent of its spying on Europe.

The non-binding resolution, which was passed by 483-98 with 65 abstentions on Thursday, said the US should provide full disclosure about its email and communications data. If Washington fails to agree, two EU-US transatlantic information-sharing deals could be revoked.    Continue reading “EU Parliament votes to scrap US data-sharing deal unless Washington reveals spying practices”

The Plant Kingdom has evolved along with the rest of us for over fifty million years and has tailored itself to our needs to the point where certain plants like Turmeric, ginger and garlic are beginning to be recognized in the West as disease-preventives because they ‘beef up’ the Immune system, which is an ‘automatic’ function of the body – but works only if it’is getting the right nutrients.

If “you are what you eat”, then it can’t be fun if you’re fast, cheap, easy and fake…   Continue reading “What EXACTLY is Wrong with Junk Food and What is an Acquired Immune Deficiency? “You ARE What You Eat””

July 4, 2013:  This day I have witnessed the most outrageous attack upon an idea since the creation of propaganda.  The attack was deliberate and an absolute act of sedition.  July 4^th is not the day we have set aside to honor the state’s standing army, though this false assertion was put forth ad nauseum via the mainstream press, working in conjunction with the soviet socialist insurgent actors, posing as the people’s representatives.

July 4^th is about revolution, a people’s revolt, against the standing army wherein the original American nationals established, as absolute, their unalienable rights and those of their progeny.  The British Army of conquest lost to the people at large.   Continue reading “4th of July?

Following outrage and controversy last year over the Obama administration’s unprecedented decision to invite Russian troops for terror drills on U.S. soil, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is now under fire for signing more agreements to “cooperate” with Vladimir Putin’s Russian “Emergencies Ministry” (EMERCOM) in a wide array of fields. Among the controversial deals outlined in an official Russian press release: exchanging of “experts” and “experience,” “provision of security at mass events,” and “cooperation in disaster response operations.” Critics of the scheme reacted with a mixture of fury and deep concerns.    Continue reading “FEMA Signs “Exchange” Deal With Russian Government”

Slowly, every police department in the United States, at the behest of the Department of Homeland Security, is being trained by Israeli groups.

As part of this training, there is an increased move to use of military uniforms, armored vehicles, heavy weapons, illegal surveillance, lying to the people, press and courts and systematic interference in the electoral system.    Continue reading “American police now “Israeli-DHS trained,” precursor to dictatorship”

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — The woman shot Wednesday by incoming Winston-Salem Police Chief Barry Rountree says he did not immediately come to help her after she was shot.

“He did not come to me. He backed away,” says Tamara Whitt after being released from the hospital. “He just backed up and I saw the cell phone come out … he walked across the street over there by that car over there and he was on his phone … and I told the SBI he did not come to me.”   Continue reading “Incoming Winston-Salem police chief shoots woman in the leg”

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) confiscated over 1,550 firearms at airports in 2012, setting a new record high. 1,295 of guns were loaded at the time they were taken.

The TSA collects weapons from travelers at airports, but is not in charge of administering punishments. David Castelveter, the TSA’s director of external communications, said, “We are not an arresting authority. We don’t have detention authority. If somebody comes through with a weapon the immediate procedure is to call the local authority. There are some states where they just tell you to take it back to the car; in others you’ll end up at Rikers.”   Continue reading “TSA Confiscates Record Number Of Guns At Airports”

The timing of this payment gateway opening certainly could be a boon for Wikileaks, who’s latest star, Ed Snowden, could generate millions of dollars in donations for Icelandic docu-dumpers. But there’s more…

The Guardian Newspaper-linked organisation, Wikileaks, appears to now be managing the public-facing PR and media campaign for NSA whistleblower Snowden, which is interesting, considering what Wikileaks stands to gain financially in terms of  fund-raising, by aligning itself with Snowden through a series of  upcoming international media opportunities.    Continue reading “The Snowden Effect: WikiLeaks now open for business with payment partner Mastercard”

Martha Boneta. Do you know the name? Maybe you will remember.

Martha owns a farm in Fauquier County, VA, an area best known as a bedroom community for the District of Columbia. Martha might just be one of the linchpins that tie together several of the current Administration’s violations of our constitutionally guaranteed protections. (See Amendment IV).   Continue reading “Martha Boneta: A Linchpin Between The Clinton & Obama Administration’s IRS Scandals”

The future of our Posterity depends on a proper understanding of the Source of our Rights.  I will explain four views; show you which one is true, and why the other three are false and lead inexorably to the destruction of any country which embraces them.

1.    Let us begin with what is true:   Our Declaration of Independence says our Rights come from God.   Our rights thus pre-date & pre-exist the U.S. Constitution.    The Declaration of Independence says:   Continue reading “Declaration Of Independence: Do Our Rights Come from God, the Constitution, the Supreme Court, or Congress?”

New evidence has emerged suggesting that the entire global supply of rice may have already been contaminated by unapproved, genetically-modified (GM) rice varieties manufactured by the American multinational corporation Bayer CropScience. A recent entry in the GM Contamination Register explains that between the years of 2006 and 2007, three different varieties of illegal GM rice, none of which have ever been approved for cultivation or consumption anywhere in the world, were identified in more than 30 countries worldwide.   Continue reading “Unapproved genetically-modified rice trials in U.S. have contaminated the world’s rice supply”

Alex Timofeev’s doorbell rang after miidnight one morning in late September. The 35-year-old father of two in Madison, Wisconson left his fiancé in bed and opened the front door. Two officers were outside. They identified themselves as officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Timofeev’s first thought was about his petition for permanent residency in the states, which—as he told Madison’s Isthmus news—has been in the works for years.    Continue reading “Wisconsin Dad Faces Deportation for Smoking Weed a Long Time Ago as a Teen”
