Toronto, The Naked City
PunWork writes "In an effort to promote wireless network security, Toronto consulting firm IpEverywhere (pun intended) has published a map of downtown Toronto, showing the location of both encrypted and unencrypted ('naked') wireless networks. Is this going to help spread awareness, or is this just going to encourage people to abuse the (apparently) ignorant? The Toronto Star has a story about the map and the consulting firm here."
"Sources: U.S. going to 'high' terror alert"
Now, don't confuse this alert with Canary! This is more of a mustardy gold. Now if we go to DEFCON 5 "BLOOD," that means there is a really bad alert. It means we know for sure that there will be terrorism because the CIA contracted it to happen. We have been elevated from the elevated level.
Now, when we are in LOW mode, don't bother even looking for terrorists because they don't exist then because Tom Ridge hasn't seen any, and the payouts are sufficient at the moment to prevent any and all blowback.
In my own PROFESSIONAL opinion, we should have a few more levels, brown a level called SHITTY, color BROWN (could be called DOO DOO for the youngsters) , and yet another YELLOW alert called PISSED (which really represents the modality of the morons, totalitarians and fascists hiding in bunkers coming up with this crap - pissed drunk).
Now, enemies of the state are dubbed enemy combatants and habeus corpus of citizens can be suspended and trivialized even more than usual! More fun! Also, kiss amendment 1,2 and 5 away. (no you cant talk about it, no you cant have a gun and no, your attorney client privledge issupspended) Also kiss ***"The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 " bye bye!
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878"
20 Stat. L., 145
June 18, 1878
CHAP. 263 - An act making appropriations for the support of the Army for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and seventy-nine, and for other purposes.
SEC. 15. From and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States, as a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress; and no money appropriated by this act shall be used to pay any of the expenses incurred in the employment of any troops in violation of this section And any person willfully violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction thereof shall be punished by fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars or imprisonment not exceeding two years or by both such fine and imprisonment.
10 U.S.C. (United States Code) 375

execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
Editor's Note: The only exemption has to do with nuclear materials (18 U.S.C. 831 (e)
But at the Pentagon, at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and at the new Office of Homeland Security (Now being elevated to a 170,000 strong super Agency), officials have been busy updating those plans, particularly the way they relate to using the military as a kind of domestic national police for "continuity of government." For those unaware of fed-speak, this means the protecting of elected officials and bureaucrats from the rest of us, who are viewed as the potential enemy.
Many people feel that the Posse Comitatus act of 1878, might protect them from a police state combining the military and civil law enforcement, with heavy managerial input by the US Department of Justice. But laws are already on the books authorizing martial law, including Section 32CFR 501.4** of the Code of Federal Regulations. These are the rules written by unelected bureaucrats that govern our lives.
In broad based terms, the CFR simply states: "Martial law depends for its justification upon public necessity." **(If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed you can view 32 CFR 501.4 in PDF format by double clicking this hyperlink with your left mouse button. You can download by right clicking and then left clicking.) (http://www.dojgov.net/32_CFR_501.pdf)
And let us not forget that vast emergency federal powers by decree dates at least to John Kennedy, who issued a raft of such orders during the Cold War. You can read recent Executive Orders and look up the topics of all modern Executive Orders by going to http://www.archives.gov/search/index.html National Archives and Records. They are difficult to pull up and include Executive Orders 12919, 12656 and 13228. In force today, they reveal how easily our individual liberties and constitutional government can be set aside.

With constitutional government "temporarily" placed in the garbage heap, the American people would be subject to direct control by unelected bureaucrats scrambling to shore up a jack boot heel on the dreams of our Founding Fathers.
"Congress shall make no law.." BWAHAHAHAHAH , boy, I'm going to WHOP you!
I mean seriously dude, it is Canada who really cares what goes on there. With their beady little eyes and their flappy heads. Damned canucks!
