For those of you who asked, “why do ‘they’ hate us?” Dubya was right: “They” hate us for our values–at least those we’ve been putting on display in Iraq.
The US government’s allegations back-up the explosive testimony of two former Blackwater employees. Gov’t says Blackwater shot Iraqis as “payback for 9/11”
… when unemployment surpasses 14 percent, my eighth grade social studies teacher taught me.
“If one considers the people who would like a job but have stopped looking — so-called discouraged workers — and those who are working fewer hours than they want, the unemployment rate would move from the official 9.4 percent to 16 percent, said Atlanta Fed chief Dennis Lockhart.

Radio frequency identification tags are not fully catching on, thanks to objections from Alan Watt, Katherine Albrecht, and others who have been hammering away for years at RFID’s threats to privacy and civil liberties.
For global corporations and the US Department of Homeland Security, who remain eager to track individuals, that means it’s time to shift their efforts back to barcodes.
MIT scientists last week said they’ve overcome the barcode’s strongest privacy protections–its close read range, and fussy need to be scanned, line-of-sight. Now, using the camera in a mobile phone, a spy, or hacker, will be able to scan the barcode label on any object, or person, at an angle, and up to 60 feet away.
The MIT scientists are working with grants from Nokia, Samsung, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation–named for its founder, the ruthless auto industry chief that one reporter counts among “Hitler’s carmakers.” Sloan is also a creator–through his strategy of “planned obsolescence”–of our modern, consumerist culture.
The new barcode labels, called bokodes, can be made “tiny, and imperceptible“–each is about three millimeters in diameter.
Here’s an excerpt from the BBC:
“For traditional barcodes you need to be a foot away from it at most,” said Dr Mohan.
The team has shown its barcodes can be read from a distance of up to 4m (12ft), although they should theoretically work up to 20m (60ft).
“One way of thinking about it is a long-distance barcode.”
It’s hard to say exactly which foods we will be forced to eat, in Earth’s CO2- and O3-stuffed atmosphere.
But it is likely those foods will be genetically modified to counter the toxic effects of these atmospheric gases, and to maintain their nutritional value.
Global food security in a changing climate depends on the nutritional value and yield of staple food crops. Researchers at Monash University in Victoria, Australia have found an increase in toxic compounds, a decrease in protein content and a decreased yield in plants grown under high CO2 and drought conditions.
One of you guys wrote in recently to ask about the whole “smart grid” thing, asking me to investigate just what state-licensed utilities will demand to know about what we’re doing on our property with their juice. (Opening the question, too, whether the state at any point considers our electricity to be our own.) I’m working on that one… stand by for an update within the next 24 hours.
Meanwhile, some of my grandfather’s countrymen are conducting a large scale experiment in self-reliance, at the community level, that is.
Warning: Disturbing footage. (Unlike the BBC’s video, this includes the girl’s cries for mercy.)
I am disgusted that my tax dollars are propping-up the tinpot dictators who permit miserable bastards, like these, to torture girls.
I’m also sickened by the YouTube commentators who either endorse this torture (one stupidly argues that flogging will solve America’s drug “problem”), or say the girl appears to be sexually aroused.
The idea’s been kicking around for many years: A currency, to replace the dollar, the pound, and the rest, to unite the world.
But world leaders have repeatedly warned that a single currency will effectively (and not just symbolically) eradicate the sovereignty of all nations.
Here’s a bit from a 2004 Christian Science Monitor report:
Goodbye, dollar. So long, euro and yen. Hello, dey!
Dey? It’s a proposed combination of the three currencies, which could eventually form the basis of a global currency.
A worldwide money won’t emerge any day soon. Still, it’s a longtime dream of some economists, who point out several advantages to simplifying the jumble of nearly 190 currencies.
The Dutch government in 2003 backed another effort, by disciples of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, to institute a global currency, called the Raam.
