    Fear Uncertainty Doubt The campaign to turn people's opinion has started. It seems that the good people of Britain took by surprise some very powerful goups.

  3. 90% of the USA is NOT under law of the land on Oklahoma State Troopers Use New Device To Seize Bank Accounts During Traffic Stops (news9.com) · · Score: 0

    But under law of the sea, Admiralty law, which means military law. This explains why so much abuse of the constitution is legal. Very technical explanation here: http://www.annavonreitz.com/

  4. Didn't steve jobs forbid his kids to use computer? on Apple CEO Tim Cook: I'd Require All Children To Start Coding In 4th Grade (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    Just throwing oil on the fire. But my experience with CS is, like jobs', toxic. It turns your mind linear. Look at the countless pieces of garbage that litter the app store or the internet. Zero imagination comes from having to conform to systems which are so limited in thought.

    TSA should be defunded but I agree that they plan on opening bids to corporations in charge of prisons.

  7. All this is done on purpose on Homeland Security Cuts Causing Extreme Delays And Missed Flights (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 2

    Problem-Reaction-Solution. They cause the problem by cutting budget, our reaction is what we get now. They will soon come with solutions such as biometrics, private contractors which are not bound by law etc... Time to contact your senators - in drove and saturate them with firm requests to do the right thing. And remember: the heads of the TSA are all ex-military. So in essence civilians are answering to militaries.

  8. Facebook is addictive because... on Facebook's Newest Privacy Problem: 'Faceprint' Data (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    It sucks everybody's light in and redistributes it around. So you get other people's light and feel like you are making a real connection.

  9. We need a revolt against idiots who promote revolt on Elon Musk: 'We Need a Revolt Against the Fossil Fuel Industry' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Seriously that Elon thinks he's the messiah and promotes violent thoughts and one dimensional thinking...

  10. Consensus doesn't mean they are right on Consensus On Consensus: Climate Experts Agree On Human-Caused Global Warming (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    Merely that their researches came to the same conclusion. Like all of us scientists need to eat and feed their family, and like all of us they are prone to peer pressure. That is to say they are all highly corruptible Things get very interesting when you see how research is funded.

  11. Any study on shining lasers in the eyes? on Ford Tests Its Self-Driving Car In Total Darkness Using LiDAR Tech (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Imagine walking or driving by 1000 car a day pulsing laser and radar all over the place, that should be a real concern yet I don't read any mention.

    The millimeter wave scanners don't cause cancer like backscatter XRAY do but damage the electric field that's over the skin.

  16. The head of the TSA are *ALL* former military on TSA's Precheck Registration Program Causing Longer Security Lines (usatoday.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is very wrong on so many levels. I met a former TSA and she explained how working there is hell made by those at the helm. They are all former Military with military training and mentality, enforcing military discipline onto the TSA workers and onto us, the citizen. She also mentioned that TSA workers send a lot of feedback to their superior but are met with either disciplinary measure or contempt.

  17. Very clever tacit: pull back on a half victory on DOJ Threatens To Seize iOS Source Code (idownloadblog.com) · · Score: 1

    They would have lost against Apple and knew it - they didn't set a precedent as much as moved the start for the next round. And slowly like this rights of the people get eroded.
