  1. Re:There have been a lot of firsts on Federal Prosecutors, In a Policy Shift, Cite Warrantless Wiretaps As Evidence · · Score: 1

    There have been a lot of firsts for Eric Holder's corrupt and diseased justice department.

    Criminal behavior need not follow the law. The ends always justify the means, according to their way of thinking, which is way wrong.

    No. It should be accessible to all.

    Knowledge is like a road, even though taxpayers funded the building of it, tourists from other countries aren't forbidden to drive on it.

    Luckily, there are some hackers out there who understand this, and work hard to unlock journal articles and books so that the whole world can read them.

    It's the new "classified for national security" strategy. It's one thing to keep people from profiting for their efforts, but it's another thing from profiting what was already paid for.

    I am surprised that anyone got approved for such a post

    I take it this appointment did not require a joint Democrat/Republican confirmation?

    As surprised as when Obamanation was elected?
    It required a Big Pharma/Healthcare Insurance sector approval with a CONgressional rubber stamp.

    It's not just congress. A company is 50% less likely to be prosecuted by the Justice Department if they make a donation to the DNC.

    Hence the need for the separation of Corporate and State. If corporations want the same rights as persons, then they should be goverened by the same rules equally. Yes, yes I know some believe themselves more equal than others. BOVINE SCAT!

  15. Re:arrogance on How Science Goes Wrong · · Score: 1

    Over-rated? That's what Edison said of Tesla. Edison went around gathering cats and dogs to show people the "evils" of AC electricity and what would happen when you were Westinghoused. Over-rated is what happens when you go against the "establishment", tell that to Wilhelm Reich, who by the way, died in prison after his books were burned. Over-rated is J. P. Morgan actions against Tesla when he spoke of free power for the world. Over-rated are the actions of an out of control political system that believes extending the inevitable collapse of the economy for a few more monthe is a wise decision.

    The arrogant like Edison who play plug and chug until they come up with something gain noteriety while true genius, like Tesla are pushed to the backwaters of anonymity or forever locked up in the prison of national security. People like Wilhelm Reich or Royal R. Rife were ruined by the mediocre. Also Pons and Fleischman. And even the unknown inventors, like Stanley Meyers are killed when they cannot be bought off. What ever happened to those that were bought off?

    Here's betting that it will take much longer to get the anti-PATRIOT passed than the eyeblink it took to get the PATRIOT passed. I wonder what the opposite of a 9/11 is to get government to act so swiftly?

    Gold and silver leaf can be eaten, but I would not make it part of a dietary plan in large quantities.
    The purpose of precious metals backing a currency keeps the currency from being overprinted, no precious metal, no federal note. Granted, the whole federal reserve note thing is completely bogus, instigated by theives, liars and murderers (due to the wars they insist upon having) I believe money is nothing more than a control mechanism used by the power elite. Is a cashless society even possible ala Star Trek? Who would benefit? Who would be deprived? Would there be a necessity for mandatory healthcare? What of education? Being able to pursue advanced degrees without becoming an indentured servant forever is sensible. Precious metals as well as diamonds are manipulated markets. If all the precious metals and gemstones were dumped on the market, they would literally be worthless(?) Society, like a melting pot is a mixture of many ideas and beliefs, however there is a scum that rises to the top, and that scum must be removed to keep the purity of the whole. This is not to be misconstrued with alloys, the introduction of small amounts of diverse substances that create vastly superior products.
