The idea that Wikpedia is neutral is laughable. The people in charge are just as guilty of bias as the supposed "vandals". I have seen an article on a person written and re-written over and over, only to have the actual person that is the subject of the article be told "you are not an expert on yourself".
What I would like declassified is the Nov 1941 intercepts of the Japanese fleet. The United States had cracked the Japanese code early in 1941, and you can read transcripts of their radio messages up to July-August of 1941, then nothing. What could still be vital to national security that over 70 years later it is still classified?
I know a ton of semi conductor tools that use floppy drives to back up the runs made on them. Considering some tools can see hundreds of runs a week it is probably where a considerable amount of them are going.
With the invention of the internet the main stream media companies are being caught more and more in their lies. From the lies that got us into the Iraq war to the photoshopped picture of the London bombers, the internet is exposing lie after lie. Is it any wonder that the more tech savvy generation realizes that most "news" is in fact just propaganda supporting a particular world view? And who is dumb enough to pay for propaganda?
Only if we use the Moon as a reaction mass to go to other planets, then yea eventually we would change its mass enough. But thats in the thousand of years scale. Actually ANY energy production will eventually cause a problem, just a matter of time scale.
Obviously the export of the moon would be solar power converted to microwave and beamed to recievers orbiting earth. Wasn't it Heinlen who suggested that tunnels be dug and farms created heated by the raw solar energy from above? If h2o is anywhere near the the polar caps then ice mining?
So as I understand it the law says you can not record a person without thier permission. Can anyone explain to me why the Nashua police don't charge the President of the United States for wiretapping without a warrant? Isn't that "taping without permission"?
The United States isn't being turned into a police state, it is one.

Gee, you mean like the great news coverage we have been experiencing in every other subject? Like the 9/11 truth movement? or the actual conditions in Iraq? or the fact that Iran has no nuclear weapons and couldnt even make any for over 10 years? Or that Bin Laden has been dead for the last 3 years? (story carried by every major news agency outside the US) Or that 9 of the origional 19 hijackers have been found alive and completely uninvolved with the attacks?
Mainstream news agency's are in the pocket of big business, the NSA wants to monitor the web because it is the last source for independant news available to the public.
Does anyone else find it less the conincidental that right after Google stands up the the current executive administration this story is all over the news?
Lets look at the facts:
Google turns down an illegal request from the United States governement, Google follows the law.
Google censures its searches in China, Google follows the law.
Right or wrong I am more interested in the fact that this story is such big news RIGHT AFTER Google chooses to stand up for itself in the USA.
So your logic is that because someone has broken the law before it should be broken again?
Could a murderer use the defense "Hey that guy killed someone last year"?
Please apply a little common sense here.
Anytime the government violates the Constitution it should be held accountable, not just when it is the opposing party commiting the offense.
Your comment "So long as that is true, it falls under the Executive's wartime authorities under the Constitution." is completely innaccurate. AT NO TIME does the Executive branch have the right to violate the Bill of Rights. Every constitutional expert has agreed on this point. The FISA act in NO WAY impedes an investigation, even going so far as allowing warrents to be obtained "after the fact".
While I agree that there are threats to this country that must be addressed, I feel we should start looking a little closer to home for the real terrorist, people that would destroy this country to "save" it.

At least someone gets that all main stream news is made up.

During my service we were forced to use power point for every lecture. Our CO stated that training without power point was not training at all!
FYI, AHIP (insurance company reps) wrote the health care bill word for word. Do you actually believe this will help the common man?
Sounds like the shipstones Robert Heinlein wrote about years ago.
Clusty is by far the best search engine. I don't understand why more people are not using it.
Pay no attention to the reports from residents that heard the levies being blown to protect the rich neighborhoods.
