1.6 Billion Rounds Of Ammo For Homeland Security? It's Time For A National Conversation

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 03:19 AM PDT

The Denver Post, on February 15th, ran an Associated Press article entitled Homeland Security aims to buy 1.6b rounds of ammo, so far to little notice. It confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security has issued an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. As reported elsewhere, some of this purchase order is for hollow-point rounds, forbidden by international law for use in war, along with a frightening amount specialized for snipers. Also reported elsewhere, at the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending less than 6 million rounds a month. Therefore 1.6 billion rounds would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years.

Private Prisons: The More Americans They Put Behind Bars The More Money They Make

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 03:04 AM PDT

How would you describe an industry that wants to put more Americans in prison and keep them there longer so that it can make more money? In America today, approximately 130,000 people are locked up in private prisons that are being run by for-profit companies, and that number is growing very rapidly

JSoc: Obama's secret assassins

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 02:55 AM PDT

The president has a clandestine network targeting a 'kill list' justified by secret laws. How is that different than a death squad? The film Dirty Wars, which premiered at Sundance, can be viewed, as Amy Goodman sees it, as an important narrative of excesses in the global "war on terror". It is also a record of something scary for those of us at home – and uncovers the biggest story, I would say, in our nation's contemporary history

Cops patrolling Facebook for predictive policing

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 02:47 AM PDT

Just seconds after the trigger of a gun is squeezed, police officers in cities and towns across America are alerted thanks to the latest and greatest state-of-the-art technology. Up-to-the-moment accuracy isn't always enough, though. Programs like the ShotSpotter system were already in place in 44 US cities by 2009, and in recent years the company has only added more names to its list of customers that can learn about gun activity the second shots are fired. ShotSpotter's developers describe it as "a gunfire alert and analysis solution" that uses specialized sensors and software to triangulate and pinpoint the precise location of each spent round within seconds, and dozens of law enforcement agencies across the United States have signed-on

An orderly protest over the death of an armed 16-year-old turned into a riot in Brooklyn tonight after young people started lashing out at NYPD officers.

Warmongers colluding to launch illegal war on Iran

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 02:35 AM PDT

We have seen it all before, the "yellow cake" myth, the manipulation of media, propaganda filling news and entertainment that would make Goebbels blush. Unless Iran can be "scapegoated" as a nuclear threat, same lies as used against Iran, same lies as used to blame Afghanistan for the "Neocon/Israeli" 9/11 attack, the American public might "wise up" to their real enemies.

The Ongoing Great Gulf Coast Holocaust

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 02:29 AM PDT

It's been labeled the worst environmental disaster in world history, and rightfully so, because the British Petroleum (BP) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is like the nightmarish gift that keeps on giving. BP and the United States government would have the public believe that all is well in the Gulf. Nothing could be further from the truth. The crisis is not only ongoing, it is worsening in its effects

U.S.-South Korea Military Drills Begin As North Korea Threatens War

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 02:22 AM PDT

North Korea's young leader urged front-line troops to be on "maximum alert" for a potential war as a state-run newspaper said Pyongyang had carried out a threat to cancel the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean War. Kim Jong Un told artillery troops stationed near disputed waters that have seen several bloody clashes in past years that "war can break out right now," according to a report by North Korean state media

How medicine is killing us all: Antibiotics, superbugs and the next global pandemic

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 02:15 AM PDT

While globalists like Bill Gates are feverishly working on ways to reduce human population through vaccines, GMOs and abortions, an even more effective population killer is now emerging: drug-resistant strains of "gram-negative" bacteria: Superbugs. The global abuse of antibiotics and the rise of drug-resistant superbugs has become an urgent issue of survival for the human race, and even mainstream medical experts are now describing microbiological doomsday scenarios if the situation isn't reversed. As The Guardian reported today

Cannabis For Infant's Brain Tumor, Doctor Calls Child "A Miracle Baby"

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 01:45 AM PDT

Medical marijuana is gaining acceptance, but could it even help kids? Dr. William Courtney has seen it happen, and on Friday, told HuffPost Live host Alyona Minkovski about it. Saying he was "quite a skeptic 5 or 6 years ago", Dr. Courtney continued that "my youngest patient is 8 months old, and had a very massive centrally located inoperable brain tumor." The child's father pushed for non-traditional treatment utilizing cannabis

Next generation military robots have minds of their own

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 01:34 AM PDT

Think of advanced robotics, and it is easy to let your mind wander to the sentient beings depicted in Blade Runner, or the soulless, autonomous assassins in the Terminator franchise. But, despite widespread press about armed drones hunting down terrorists and insurgents in Afghanistan and Pakistan and the increasing use of ground robots to fight roadside bombs, the truth is that most military robots are still pretty dumb. In fact, almost all unmanned systems involve humans in almost every aspect of their operations—it's just that instead of sitting in a cockpit or behind the wheel of a vehicle, humans are operating the systems from a joystick or computer often at a remote base far from the action

Breakthrough in search for ET as scientists develop method to see 'chemical fingerprints' from INSIDE other solar systems

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 01:06 AM PDT

Astronomers today claimed to be a step closer to discovering alien life thanks to a new technique which allows them to make a remote reconnaissance of distant planets. A project by researchers at Cambridge University has harnessed new software and instruments to collect the first chemical fingerprints of planets orbiting a star 128 light years away from Earth

Magnitude 4.7 earthquake shakes wide area of Southern California; no damage reported

A modest earthquake left Southern California with the jitters Monday but no serious damage as the temblor caused swaying and rolling from the desert to the coast, sending children scrambling under their desks and office workers running for the door. The 9:55 a.m. quake had an estimated magnitude of 4.7, said Nick Scheckel, seismic analyst at the California Institute of Technology's seismological laboratory in Pasadena
