Bush, Senate Head for Showdown on Domestic Spying
June 22nd, 2007This nonsense theater isn’t going to go anywhere. This is an enemy collaborator congress. This is just a smoke and mirrors distraction. If these idiots would simply read the court documents related to the EFF’s case against NSA/ATT, they would see the clear and present danger that the regime in the White House represents. But […]

Vertical Farming in the Big Apple
June 20th, 2007I know. Urban hipsters want iPods, free love and electric SUVs. Absolutely any technology or policy that offers a glimmer of hope of keeping things going will be embraced with religious ferocity, regardless of the level of absurdity. As more and more people give up on the political process, they will seek comfort in the […]

NSA, AT&T and the NarusInsight Intercept Suite
June 14th, 2007In the Ugly Truth About Online Anonymity, I wrote: There are dozens of off the shelf products that you would swear were designed for use by intelligence agencies, but they’re routinely peddled to—and used by—corporations. If corporations have and use these surveillance capabilities, what are the intelligence agencies running on the service providers’ networks? I’ll […]
One Magic 8 Ball to Rule Them All? Hallelujah, Brother, Praise the Lord
June 13th, 2007Do you notice how this technocratic theocracy is the same old snake handling and sky god worship, but with “science” and computers?

Remember My Warnings About Proxy Services?
June 6th, 2007Mike Ruppert responded to my post about Armorware. As I expected, he didn’t address any of the several concerns I raised.
