Speaking of the government’s new focus on offensive cybersecurity, former White House cybersecurity advisors Howard Schmidt and Richard Clarke both told Reuters that the government is putting so much emphasis on offensive measures that it ultimately leaves people in the U.S. at risk.

Einstein, when asked “what is the most powerful force in the Universe?” is reputed to have answered, “Compound Interest.”
Today’s mantras, “Everybody’s Lying to You” and “It’s all About Control “ and ”There is a Global Conspiracy” are quite true, but not instigated by ‘Conspiracy Theorists’ on The Internet, no, they were clearly identified by several of the last century’s greatest Statesmen, again and again, into the silence of history ‘written by the winners’.

When NYPD Chief Ray Kelly said “privacy was off the table” following the Boston bombing, we all knew this was a one-way “exchange.” It was always going to be average citizens losing out on their privacy. The NYPD would remain unaffected and continue to operate the way it has for years: behind the thin thick blue line of opacity.
Salon’s CJ Ciaramella takes a detailed look at the NYPD’s track record on Freedom of Information requests. The results are unsurprising. The public entities that demand the most from their constituents are often the most reluctant to give anything back.

Eating peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables from the Solanaceae plant familymight help to lower your risk of Parkinson’s disease, a new study suggests.
Published in the journal Annals of Neurology, researchers from the University of Washington found that the higher the consumption of vegetables in this plant family — especially peppers — the lower the risk of Parkinson’s disease. They noted that a possible reason for this is the nicotine that is naturally present in this plant family; nicotine and tobacco smoking has been shown in past research to be associated with decreased risk of Parkinson’s disease.

This is not about alarmism …but about common sense. Only God knows what’s in our future and we only know what He’s revealed to us in His word. What we learn about our surroundings will help us to become better prepared, for whatever comes our way.
Facing the facts, and not ignoring them, is being a REALIST, which is a much better term than being a prepper or survivalist. The video below is designed to make people think. The events occurring now are warning signs of things to come in the days a head.
We know this much, for God’s word tells us this. (Luke 21. 5-38) Whatever happens, may or may not happen this year, or even at all, in our lifetime. But the question remains. What would you do, if and when it does? Continue reading “Being a Realist”

With the announcement this week that a handgun made from a 3D printer fired successfully, 3D manufacturers may soon find themselves in a gray area when it comes to liability. From the looks of it, these companies aren’t ready for the new wave of customers and responsibility this might bring.
According to the BBC, designs for the Liberator plastic pistol have been downloaded more than 100,000 times already — before the U.S. government ordered that the designs be taken down for fear they may violate arms-exporting laws.

Wisconsin ranks 44th in the nation for new job creation. Rather than rolling up their sleeves and finding new and innovative ways to help create jobs, the Wisconsin legislature is spending its time telling people needing food assistance what they should be eating. AB 110, which will be up for a vote in the Assembly on Tuesday, May 7, is geared toward limiting “the amount of food stamp benefits that could be spent on junk food.” But some of the fine print of the bill, bizarrely, would ban people from choosing more healthy and less expensive options for their families. The bill is one of many being considered that are unduly punitive of the poor. Continue reading “Wisconsin Bill Would Treat Organic Milk, Sharp Cheddar, Brown Eggs as “Junk Food””

The federal government is planning to spend another 16 billion dollars to implement programs that are basically the same as those paid for during the 1950s. Many legislators, parents, and taxpayers have been given the false impression that Common Core State Standards and the International Baccalaureate programs will reform and improve education. However, these two newest educational policies are an extension of old policies that created weaknesses in the American educational system and destroyed its international reputation for excellence.
