Wikileaks
The takedown of Wikileaks is a triumph of world government. It’s literally the new world order responding to a threat and removing it. The website has been under a massive attack, probably by the US Government. Warrants for Julian Assange’s arrest are held by two nations and the European Union. Interpol has issued a red [...]
The Ultimate Prank: TSA Voyerism
Who are we pranking today? Just the entire US Federal Government and all American citizens! CNN is reporting on findings from a Freedom of Information request initiated by the Electronic Privacy Information Center that has revealed that, contrary to public statements by the Transportation Security Agency, full-body scanners can store and transmit images. The scanners [...]
Mann Crosses the Line
Roger Weiner was arrested at a Mississippi gas station for violating the Mann Act, an arcane law prohibiting transport of women across state lines for “immoral purposes.” This is stupid. It should be repealed. “Immoral purposes?” Who decides what is immoral? If you think rape, murder, and slavery are immoral, then we’ve already got laws [...]
Kalashnikovs
Ever since the Kalashnikov’s introduction in the Soviet Union in 1947 it has been a favorite due to its simple design.

End Airborne Terrorism
When Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab attempted to detonate plastic explosives concealed in his underwear on Northwest Airlines Flight 253, I saw public outcry for greater airport security. People saw yet another terrorist show airport security ineffective. They asked, “How could this have happened?” People paid to make solutions came up with ideas like ramping up airport security, and [...]
Institutionalized Conspiracy
In most of its operations, the CIA is by definition a conspiracy, using covert actions and secret plans, many of which are of the most unsavory kind. What are covert operations if not conspiracies? At the same time, the CIA is an institution, a structural part of the national security state. In sum, the agency is an institutionalized conspiracy.
NASA Every Week
NASA could open up a new wave of innovation in space exploration and terrestrial technology by lessening consequences of launch failure and making frequent launches available to engineers. If there were weekly rocket launches, there would be an astronaumical increase in opportunities for new communication, remote sensing, orbital debris mitigation, robotic exploration, photographic, and human spaceflight technology ideas to be tested. Our understanding of chemical rocketry and other, more advanced forms of aeronautic propulsion would inevitably advance and the United States government would do something inspiring for is citizens and for all the future.
