George Orwell would be proud of how Congress has
trampled the Bill of Rights
Right after
the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed through the Senate, with
86 senators voting in favor of bill, hackers who operate under the name
Anonymous leaked detailed information on many of the politicians.
The large document
starts with Republican
Senator from the state of Ohio, Robert J. Portman. “He has made himself a target as an advocate of the NDAA, but we are truly disturbed by the ludicrous $272,853 (190,000 EUR) he received from special interest groups supporting the NDAA bill that authorizes the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. Robert J. Portman, we plan to make an example of you,” said the hackers in a statement.
A day later, Anonymous came forward with another statement that targeted US leaders.
“This is an open letter to the US leaders. We have watched as you have violated the very laws that guarantee your power. We have witnessed your fall from Representatives of the People to Representatives of Greed and Corruption,” they say.
Homeland Security has shifted its focus from terrorists to ‘domestic extremists,’ under the guise of protecting our freedom. Once the unPatriot Act was passed, we all knew it was only a matter of time before freedoms and Constitutional rights would be eroded and it didn’t escape us how SECRETIVE congress was about passing this law without any fanfare or media attention.

Adding a squeeze of lemon to your water or tea boosts the antioxidant content and may help with digestion. One study found that your body better absorbs the antioxidants in green tea when lemon is mixed in. Of course, lemon and other citrus fruits are also loaded with natural vitamin C, one of the best cold- and flu-fighting agents out there.

Freelance Job Boards – Finding revenue ideas
One of the best ways
to find ideas is to look at how other people are already making money. The flip
side of this is to look at what businesses are in need of. We’ve covered this
to some degree with Elance and oDesk. But another great source of ideas come
from online freelance job boards. Here are a few favorites:
Freelance Switch http://freelanceswitch.com/
vWorker.com where over 300,000 workers are making a living and there are thousands
of open jobs. Unlike Elance.com, there are no arbitrary bidding limits
that require you to pay a subscription fee to overcome.

Many once iconic "American companies" have been bought up by the rest of
the world. The following comes from a recent article posted on
Economy In Crisis....
RCA is now a
French company, Zenith is a Korean company. Frigidaire is a Swedish company.
IBM’s Personal Computer Division—with its 500 patents—is now a Chinese company.
Westinghouse Nuclear Energy’s major shareholder is Toshiba—a Japanese Company.
Lucent Technologies, a former research division of AT&T, along with all the
patents acquired from the beginning of the phone system, is now a French
company. In 2008, Brazilian-Belgian brewing company InBev purchased the iconic
American brewer Anheuser-Busch, makers of Budweiser. With the sale of these
manufacturing companies, the future profit and technologies all belong to
foreign entities.
Too Much
Passenger Screening Is Making Airports Less Secure
Ever stricter security
measures in place in U.S. airports is making air travel less safe and airports
more vulnerable, according to University of Illinois mathematics professor
Sheldon H. Jacobson. Too many resources are spent screening passengers who pose
little risk, which steals time and money away from identifying real threats.
“A natural tendency,
when limited information is available about from where the next threat will
come, is to overestimate the overall risk in the system, ” says Jacobson in a press
release. “This actually makes the system less secure by over-allocating
security resources to those in the system that are low on the risk scale
relative to others in the system.”
Addressing Passenger Risk Uncertainty for
Aviation Security Screening by Adrian J. Lee and Sheldon H. Jacobson, Transportation Science

When John F. Kennedy was President, just over a quarter of federal spending went to fund
programs paying for some 21.7 million Americans to be dependent on Uncle Sam.
But as high as that spending and dependence on the federal government was then,
it has exploded today, with one in five Americans -- more than 67.3 million --
depending on Washington for assistance.

Republican nominee Mitt Romney has advocated the use of a
biometric-driven federal database to authenticate the citizenship of any person
hired in the U.S. – which effectively sets up the central government as the
gate keeper to authorize – or not – whether a person may work.
"In the future, whether it's entering your home, opening your car,
entering your workspace, getting a pharmacy prescription refilled, or having
your medical records pulled up, everything will come off that unique key that
is your iris," says Global Rainmakers CDO Jeff Carter, in an interview
with FastCompany. "Every person, place, and thing on this planet
will be connected [to the iris system] within the next 10 years."
When asked why anyone would volunteer to submit to this government
intrusion, he said positively, "There's a lot of convenience to this –
you'll have nothing to carry except your eyes." But then he
followed-up with this disturbing omen: "When you get masses of people
opting-in, opting out does not help. Opting out actually puts more of a flag on
you than just being part of the system."
One privacy and security expert says, "whatever you can store,
I can steal." Meaning the existence of private biometric data stored
in big government databases (and big commercial databases, as well) isn't safe.
The Clear System used in airports is another great example. Plied with promises of
shorter security lines, some frequent travelers have submitted to background
checks and biometric cataloging. Early in the Clear program, data for 33,000
passengers was compromised after an unencrypted computer turned up missing.
Security researcher and Innovya founder Michael Shafir invented
a security protocol called Traceless Biometrics System (TBS), and it seems to
be less intrusive and does not require government databases.
"With this technology, there is no need for central databases,
stored templates, or any type of smart cards. The traceless solution is
completely anonymous, removing all privacy law issues and any chance of being
cloned," he writes."Innocent people should NOT be recognized
'automatically' by their 'body parts copies' stored in 'Private' or 'National'
databases."
Like an ATM, the pin is your biometric marker (iris, finger print,
etc.). You choose it, it's not stored in a big database center out of your
control, and you can change it whenever you want. Your privacy is protected,
and your security can adapt to intrusions.
But we all know well the government would prefer databases under their
“wise” control!
