    Narus is developing a new technology that sleuths through billions of pieces of data on social networks and Internet services and connects the dots.

    The new program, code-named Hone, is designed to give intelligence and law enforcement agencies a leg up on criminals who are now operating anonymously on the Internet.

    In many ways, the cyber world is ideal for subversive and terrorist activities, said Antonio Nucci, chief technology officer with Narus. "For bad people, it's an easy place to hide," Nucci said. "They can get lost and very easily hide behind a massive ocean of legal digital transactions."

    VoIP Blocking in Saudi Arabia using Narus Software

    VoIP blocking in Saudi Arabia has been around for sometime and was aided by the introduction of the VoIP blocking software provided by the Californian Company Narus. The reasons the Saudi government block VoIP is to protect the national telephone carrier Saudi Telecom from potential competition. By prohibiting VoIP calls people based in Saudi Arabia are forced to use the more expensive Saudi Telecom service.

  19. Welcome to the (Romney) Matrix on Mitt Romney, Robotics, and the Uncanny Valley · · Score: 1
    Mitt Romney’s individual contributors (please see end for list of financial institution contributors)

    John Paulson, hedge fund manager, Bob Mercer, Renaissance Technologies, Bill Koch, member of Koch family, and various other hedge fund managers and private equity LBO firms, etc.

    John Paulson was the hedge fund manager who made an estimated $5 billion one year betting on the economic meltdown thanks to a supertanker-sized amount of insider information. (Remember that when Alan Greenspan left his position as chairman of the Federal Reserve, he went to work for Paulson at his hedge fund.)

    To illustrate the direct wealth transfer in action: Paulson buys a credit default swap (CDS) for $1.4 million, which later pays out $100 million --- and he does that any number of times.

    Paulson and the other banksters and hedge fundsters, now have their billions and A.I.G. and Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, et al., “must” be bailed out by the taxpayers --- who later lose their jobs and homes or residences, and must go on “austerity” programs because Paulson and Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase and GE bought those CDSes and AIG and the others who sold them didn’t have any capital on hand to back them up.

    Bob Mercer’s Renaissance Technologies is an institutional investor in the major banks and oil companies which were heavily involved and responsible for the global meltdown as they speculated – or financially manipulated – the prices of oil, energy and commodities – jacking up the paper market price of oil to 13.8 times higher than the actual physical market by May of 2008 by super-selling oil futures to each other, forcing the price upwards.

    They used the same scheme to jack up the prices of refinery-involved chemicals and oil transportation costs (using forward freight futures to raise the price of supertanker rental and bulk carriers, etc.)

    Mitt Romney’s Fortune

    Born into wealth, Romney would accumulate even more by selling debt, loading companies with debt and more debt by taking out loans against companies in leveraged buyout deals to reward himself.

    He accumulated even more money by avoiding taxes; utilizing offshore finance centers in the Caymans, Switzerland, and other locations. (The leveraged buyout structure itself is predicated on tax avoidance and shifting the burden of taxation onto the workers due to the tax deductibility of debt payments.)

    This is what plutocracy looks

    Be Like Mitt

    I want to be like Mitt, who has never done an honest day’s work in his life!

    I want to be like Mitt, who would convince his cronies to invest 10% in a fund, and then borrow the remaining 90% from the banks, using the targeted company in the leveraged buyout as collateral -- that means transferring the 90% debt to the target company. (I’m going to buy a car, what’s your collateral, the bank asks me, the car I’m buying, I reply, try the bank next store, they reply.)

    I want to be like Mitt, and receive free millions from the banks (after the LBO or leveraged buyout, they would borrow more millions from the banks against the targeted company – known as dividend recaps -- thus paying themselves a fortune while adding even more debt onto the target company).

    [The proper term for this is debt financing or deficit financing, creating unbelievably burdensome debt on the takeover company to enrich themselves. Romney’s vast wealth, and that of other private banks and hedge funds, is directly responsible for the increase of the national debt.]

    I want to be like Mitt, who avoided military service during the draft.

    I want to be like Mitt, free money for no work and super-rich!

    From Nixon on, the same neocon slime (and no, there's no actual difference between neocons and neolibs, the neocons just want you to believe so) keeps reappearing in the next, or future and opposite party, administrations: Larry Summers and Timothy Geithner first appear in Geo. H.W. Bush's administration, then reappear in Clinton's, Linda Chavez first appears in Jimmy Carters, stays on for reappointment in Reagan's, then Bush #2 (the simian-looking fellow who gets almost his entire agenda enaced) tries to reappoint her in his.

    And Obama reappoints Robert Mueller as FBI director, first appointed to DOJ by Bush #1 as chief of its criminal division when that BCCI investigation was getting close to the White House, then reappointed as FBI director by Bush #2 four days before 9/11/01. Interestingly, Mueller is the grandnephew of Richard Bissell, while his wife is the granddaughter of Charles Cabell (President Kennedy fired the three top guys at the CIA: Allen Dulles, Richard Bissell and Charles Cabell).
