  California Installs 'TrapWire' Surveillance Face Recognition posted by george, 2012-11-21 20:41:45
Alarm bells recently sounded regarding a software package that could be hooked into the ubiquitous street and other surveillance camera systems of the world. Its primary capability is to RECORD in a data base (illegally in most nations) every face in its multiple view finders and then almost instantly recognise (and monitor) a face among millions in real time! This is surveillance and privacy intrusion gone mad! (full story)

 I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning posted by lewis, 2012-11-20 08:33:26
This outburst straight from the Red Queen's court. Obama parroting the Zionist line makes for a revealing faux pas! Questioned by reporters on the Gaza conflict during his SE Asian jaunt, Obama replied, "... we are fully supportive of Israel's right to defend itself ..." even though Israel summarily executed a high profile Palestinian leader which triggered a retaliatory response and the ensuing conflict!

 The Bigger they are the more they Require Regulation posted by rex, 2012-11-19 07:36:46
It's no secret that insufficient oversight and regulation of the major banks and financial institutions resulted in the global economic crash of 2008 -- a crisis the world continues to struggle with but could have easily avoided. The literal 'too big to fail' notion was exposed as mirage/myth -- as we now all know, it was the biggest that not only failed but brought the house down with them! The removal of regulatory safeguards by Wall St servant president, Bill Clinton, ensured abuse and instability in the future. (full story)

 Political Assassination Spree posted by russ, 2012-11-18 10:51:24
It was during the 60's social revolution that the shadowy conservative executive ruling class gave the order and goodbye Jack and Bobby Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King jr and a host of other lesser known activists. They didn't stop with political activists; rebel pop stars started going down, Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, later Lennon. Coincidence you think when every one of these victims was against mainstream conservatism -- think again! That era saw more political assassinations than any other period in American history and only a fool would think it coincidence. (full story)

 Apple iPhone, Big Brother's Surveillance Wet Dream becomes Reality posted by george, 2012-11-18 00:07:02
One wonders for whom these latest euphemistically named, 'presence technologies,' are designed to benefit most! The latest patent application by Apple involves ID 'ing users based on heart rate, skin tone, breathing rates and face recognition technologies, including an auto zooming camera to keep the face in focus as it moves -- give my anonymity and PRIVACY a break please! It is clear that these outrageous surveillance features or 'presence sensors' are designed for integrated, centralised surveillance by 'Big Brother' -- the minimal real benefits for users do not warrant the EXTREME INTRUSIVENESS by any stretch of the imagination.

 Open Message to Google Chairman, Eric 'sweetie' Schmidt posted by shirl, 2012-11-17 22:07:36
We note that the three word search string -- Eric 'sweetie' Schmidt -- which occurs on this and other sites has mysteriously disappeared from Google searches. I mean really Eric, 'sweetie', you big girl, are you really so thin-skinned or would you care to explain the wonders of this new 'algorithm' to the WORLD -- LOL! We're simply highlighting once again that Google hasn't learned a thing, bad habits die hard it seems -- manually intervening to suppress or CENSOR data got you in hot water with anti-trust regulators all over the WORLD, Eric.

 Federal investigation into Paedophilia in Oz Religious Institutions posted by lawler, 2012-11-17 10:04:20
Forced by political pressure and circumstance, nationally despised, unrepresentative Oz PM, Juliar 'carbon tax, five US bases' Gillard, has been forced to hold a Royal Commission into institutionalised paedophilia in the Catholic Church and other major religious organisations. God knows the public has been patient, waiting hundreds of years for such an inquiry and for justice to finally be served on the reprehensible filth that hide behind clerical garb to satisfy their perverted desires.

 Revealing Travel Arrangements for American Leaders posted by trixie, 2012-11-16 21:18:24
Recent visits to Australia, a friendly ally, by US State officials were extremely revealing, not so much for their primary purpose, which was to inspect strategic naval bases in WA and SA for US military expansion in its soft, acquiescing colony, Australia -- we should not forget that TREASONOUS Juliar Gillard in one sweep of the pen signed over an unprecedented F-I-V-E full scale military bases of occupation on Oz sovereign soil -- but for the travel arrangements now characteristic of travelling US officials and the EXTREME paranoia and FEAR Americans display to the world.

Upholding International Law posted by judd, 2012-11-15 21:29:56
The question TODAY is not whether the 'indefinite detention, kill list,' USA and genocidal, fascist Israel are terrorist nations because all the civilian killing, statistical evidence/FACTS CLEARLY indicate they are! The question that should be bellowed across the entire GLOBE is, WHERE IS CHINA AND RUSSIA when other States engage in flagrant breaches of International Law and War Crimes Conventions? (full story)

Excuse Me While I Vomit posted by Alan Hart via stan, 2012-11-15 20:24:26
I imagine I am not the only one who feels the need to vomit (dictionary definition - “to throw up the contents of the stomach through the mouth”) when Israel’s Goebbels justifies the Zionist state’s ferocious and monstrously disproportionate attacks by air and sea on the Israeli-blockaded Gaza Strip, the prison camp which is home to 1.5 million besieged and mainly impoverished Palestinians. The Israeli to whom I am referring is, of course, Australian-born Mark Regev, the prime minister’s spokesman, for which read spin doctor. The more I see and hear him in action, the more it seems to me that he makes Nazi Germany’s propaganda chief look like an amateur. (full story)

Does Anyone Really Fall for this crap? posted by sam, 2012-11-15 07:09:07
After a considerable period of relative calm in the region, Israel launched -- with US approval -- a 'precision' airstrike which murdered the Hamas military chief in Gaza and numerous innocent civilians. Almost immediately after the expected Palestinian retaliatory response Israel released a press 'bull'-etin stating that it is under threat and has 'no choice but to defend itself,' it then launched a full scale attack on Gaza! I mean really, tell it to your grandmother, as anyone with two brain cells is aware of who instigated the current conflict by committing an illegal, extra-judicial assassination of a very high profile Palestinian leader.

The Myth of Surgical Air Strikes posted by jax, 2012-11-14 23:11:50
The recent assassination by Israel -- supported by the US -- of the Hamas military chief was reported as a 'surgical' air strike on a vehicle on a crowded civilian street in Gaza. After years of 'surgical lies' by the USA and NATO forces regarding these mythic 'precision' strikes that kill on average 10-1 civilians for every combatant targeted, the world takes such news with a truck load of salt -- pure disinformaton and propaganda. The concentration camp which is the Gaza strip is being pounded by the Israeli air force even as I write -- thanks Barack, is this your opening act after winning a second term, kowtowing to the Zionists?

 Former PM Keating -- Kowtowing to US must stop posted by baz, 2012-11-14 08:11:36
Whatever your opinion of outspoken former PM, Paul Keating -- and mine is far from favourable -- his recent speech delivered at the Keith Murdoch Oration in Melbourne was spot on. (full story)

 Use Google and Gmail at Own Risk posted by ziggy, 2012-11-13 23:07:08
Google is deflecting with the following accurate report about increased government surveillance on GOOGLE users. It was Google's current chairman, Eric Schmidt, who publicly stated that he would NOT betray user information then almost immediately entered into a partnership with the nefarious CIA. Don't kid yourselves, Google is happy to offer your private data to government agencies on request. The solution is simple, use 'Ixquick' or one of the many other excellent search engines and dump Google's Gmail, which recently brought four star General David Petraeus undone! (full story)
