Senate Bill 773, as written by West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller, Democrat, would create new “emergency” powers for the President to have power over any “non-governmental” computer networks, whether public or private, that are declared by the President to be “critical.” Before the Summer recess, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee unanimously approved Protecting Cyberspace As a National Asset Act of 2010........

Internet privacy: Will you be assimilated?

Downsize DC
by Jim Babka

07/15/10

A huge part of the business of politics involves conferring subsidies and special protections on favored companies and industries, making many of them near (or actual) monopolies that also happen to be ‘too big to fail.’ Now here comes the latest example of monopoly creation by The State … The Feds want to monopolize the user names and passwords that you employ on the Internet! The so-called Department of Homeland Security, in cooperation with major corporations like Microsoft, has drafted what they call a ‘National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace.’ That sounds ominous, and it is. Will you be a ‘trusted entity,’ or a distrusted one?

Internal Standards Must Go. The ideal type for life in the sociocratic new world order is a human automaton with no internal standards. A robot can't say no. It is controlled by whatever signals are used to activate a response. The New World Order needs robotic human responders, not self-controlled individuals who have internal standards. Auguste Comte, the originator of sociocracy put it this way:........

CAIR today issued an advisory to American Muslims-whether citizens, permanent residents or visa holders-warning of the risk of "forced exile" when traveling overseas or attempting to return to the United States. Muslim travelers are urged to know their legal rights if they are placed on the so-called "no-fly list."

James Mattis: 'It's fun to shoot some people'

President Obama's pick to lead military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and the Middle East is an experienced ground combat commander, but also earned a stern rebuke in 2005 for controversial comments about combat operations. Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis, then a lieutenant general, told a crowd in San Diego that it was "fun to shoot some people" and said that some Afghans deserved to die.

Too Big to Fail

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "The phrase 'Too big to fail' entered the modern American lexicon with a terrible vengeance a couple of years ago, after billions of tax dollars were deployed as spit and mortar to hold up failing companies which, if they actually did fail, would have sent the US and the rest of the world spiraling into some kind of mega-ultra-super depression. That's what we were told, anyway, and it may well be true, but that hardly gets rid of the rancid taste the phrase leaves behind when spoken."
