15-07-2002 US planning to recruit one in 24 Americans as citizen spies

How did they know? They're not part of Merdoch's Media Empire are they?

The Bush Administration aims to recruit millions of United States citizens as domestic informants in a program likely to alarm civil liberties groups.

The Terrorism Information and Prevention System, or TIPS, means the US will have a higher percentage of citizen informants than the former East Germany through the infamous Stasi secret police. The program would use a minimum of 4 per cent of Americans to… Continue

The U.S. military's quest to weaponize culture

The Pentagon seems to have decided that anthropology is to the war on terror what physics was to the Cold War. As an anthropologist, this makes me very nervous.

Where former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld believed that the United States would vanquish its enemies through technological superiority, his replacement Robert Gates has said that cultural expertise in counterinsurgency operations will be crucial in the future wars he anticipates.

When research that could…

Lynn Forester de Rothschild stands by her woman

Lynn de Rothschild

Special Ed Student Beat by Cop for SHIRT!

Cop beats kid for an untucked shirt. Then instead of protecting the kid the teachers protect the cop. I guess the handicapped teenager was too menacing. Probably more intelligent than the cop also. There had better be a lawsuit. Watch the video.
