In the first full week of the latest iteration of post-QE2 POMO, which was supposed to see a dramatic ramp in stocks, the only thing we have seen is the biggest insider buying to selling imbalance since the data has been tracked.

Scientists are puzzled why the Canterbury earthquake released more than 10 times the energy a quake of its size normally would.

The United States Geological Survey has calculated the waves travelling from the focus of the September 4 quake had an energy magnitude of between 7.4 and… Continue

You can avoid being felt-up or scanned (for now) if you avoid flying, but that doesn't mean you're not subject to similarly random – and just as intimidating – random stops out on the road.
As the holidays approach, your local police will likely be stepping up the use of "sobriety checkpoints" – and random stops/ID checks/interrogations under other names, too.
You've probably not done anything wrong, or even given reason to suspect you might have – but that doesn't mean… Continue
EPIC has filed the opening brief in EPIC v. DHS, No, 10-1157, a case that challenges the unilateral decision of the TSA to make body scanners the primary screening technique in U.S. airports. Three frequent air travelers are joining EPIC in the lawsuit: security expert Bruce Schneier, human rights activist Chip Pitts, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations legal counsel Nadhira Al-Khalili. The Petitioners have brought claims under the Administrative Procedure Act, the Privacy Act, the… Continue
There are pictures I posted up there for you to see that we need to do something about it. It's been not working since the last release of Ubuntu 10.10. So this might be the October surprise that is effecting linux users worldwide. When I download the .bin file it starts to give me a parser error and there is no way to fix it. I have talked to technical support about the error and they said that the code for Google Earth is proprietary and it cannot be fixed by the community. Now most of my… Continue

If I fly, I can be randomly chosen to go through a scanner that would, if run through a negative enhancer, would show most details of my nakedness.
If I choose not to be scanned, I can be sexually assaulted by a TSA agent who does not change gloves despite touching the genitals of many of the same gender, thus increasing the chance of catching an sexual disease.
If I choose to do neither, first you, the TSA, I would be… Continue

Ireland is not imploding. It is not in trouble as a sovereign nation as such. Ireland is being crushed under the weight of a collapsing City of London/Rothschild banking cartel, namely the Inter-Alpha Group.
We are witnessing a process of general collapse which began in 2007 as a result of forty years of gambling in the great global casino. The events of this past week are a continuation of that process, not a separate event. The bailout of "Ireland" is another stop gap measure which… Continue

It doesn’t take a bureaucrat long to create an empire. John Pistole, the FBI agent who took over the Transportation Security Administration on July 1 told USA Today 16 days later that protecting trains and subways from terrorist attacks will be as high a priority for him as air travel.
It is difficult to imagine New Yorkers being porno-screened and sexually groped on crowed subway platforms or showing up an hour or two in advance for clearance for a 15 minute subway ride, but once… Continue

In Africa, drought continues for the sixth consecutive year, adding terribly to the toll of famine victims. During 1972 record rains in parts of the U.S., Pakistan and Japan caused some of the worst flooding in centuries. In Canada's wheat belt, a particularly chilly and rainy… Continue

The Web is critical not merely to the digital revolution but to our continued prosperity—and even our liberty. Like democracy itself, it needs defending.
The world wide web went live, on my physical desktop in Geneva, Switzerland, in December 1990. It consisted of one Web site and one…
Would you like salt, butter -- and a helping of perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs) with your popcorn? You may say "yes" to the first two ingredients and "certainly not!" to the last one. But the problem is, if you are eating microwaved popcorn or packaged snack foods, you are most likely getting dosed with these potentially toxic chemicals without any choice.
PFCAs, the best known of which is perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), have… Continue
U.S. taxpayers finance approximately 20% of the IMF's budget.
Guess what, Ireland. Brian Lenihan and Brian Cowen just sold you down the IMF river. Why? To bail out bank bondholders and giant European banks. Of course! That's what governments are for these days, apparently. And they'll tell you that the bailout policy is all for you own good. And for little old ladies and pensioners and orphans. Just don't tell that to the cancer patients.
US firms pressure Ireland to tax the people, not corporations

The warning – from executives at Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard (HP), Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Intel – spoke of the "damaging impact" on Ireland's "ability to win and retain investment" should the country's corporation tax rate be increased from 12.5pc.
It came as talks between members of the Irish… Continue

As shocking as the news is that the United States Department of Agriculture facilitated a cheese bailout with a $12 million marketing campaign to help sell Domino’s Pizza, I believe there is much more to the New York Times story as it affects average Americans and their ever-expanding waist lines.
The story makes a strong case for the correlation between saturated fat consumption and obesity. Michael Moss nails the issue of the USDA’s two-sided policy: promoting cheese consumption in… Continue

Faced with the prospect of large numbers of people refusing the invasive “screening” measures they’ve implemented this holiday season, the TSA is hoping to fight back with threats of fine and arrest.
