DHS orders 750 million more rounds of ammunition?
An additional 750 million rounds? On top of the 450 million recently ordered, and the 250 million not less than a year ago? That's 1,450,000,000 rounds! Many of which are hollow tips, banned by the Geneva Convention Accords from being implemented in foreign territory due to the sheer mayhem they induce on the body. As if this wasn't enough law enforcement nationwide has systematically upped the caliber to .40. Prior ammo buys used to consist of half a million rounds, the good ol' days.
U.S. Super Soldiers Of The Future Will Be Genetically Modified Transhumans
"The future of war is going to look really, really weird. The "super soldier" research that DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is working on right now is unlike anything we have ever seen before. If DARPA is successful, and if the American people don't object, the soldiers of the future will be genetically modified transhumans capable of superhuman feats. Do you want a soldier that can run faster than Usain Bolt? DARPA is working on that. Do you want a soldier that won't need food or sleep for days? DARPA is working on that? Do you want a soldier that can regrow lost limbs? DARPA is working on that. Do you want a soldier that can outlift Olympic weightlifters and that can communicate telepathically? DARPA is working on that. Americans flock to movies about superheroes and mutants, and soon they may actually have real life "superheroes" and "mutants" fighting their wars for them. But at what cost?"

FAA documents show drones over U.S. pose huge safety risk
"The documents, received by CIR through the Freedom of Information Act, discuss at length the fact that drones do not have sophisticated collision-avoidance systems and pose more of a threat to other aircraft because their pilots are on the ground with limited visual contact.
Experienced California mechanic and pilot Mel Beckman, tells CIR that drone aircraft are problematic because pilots are required to “see and avoid,” – in other words, literally keep an eye out for other aircraft.
“There’s no way for a drone pilot to do that,” Beckman said. “He’s on the ground, and he’s looking through a small aperture. Yes, the camera can swivel a little bit, but it’s nothing like the panoramic view the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) envisioned when they expected pilots to maintain their own visual surveillance.”
“There’s a big disconnect between ground pilots and the aircraft they’re flying,” pilot Beckman said. “The regulations currently don’t accommodate that.”

With 30,000 drones expected to fill U.S. skies by 2020, and the fact that some college kids proved that it only takes $1,000 worth of hardware to hack these things, maybe it's time to reassess the situation? 110 potential drone bases exist on the books in the US. No time has been wasted in the implementation of these craft. A dedication:

Scientists produce Genetically Modified plants to produce pharmaceutical drugs
"For centuries, humankind has been utilizing the naturally occurring medicinal and healing compounds of plants to overcome illness and disease. But scientists just don’t seem to be happy with what nature has to offer.
Up until just a few years ago, scientists had to manually splice natural plant compounds to patent them for pharmaceutical drug companies; now, a way has been discovered to genetically modify plants which are actually programmed to produce pharmaceutical drugs instead of their natural compounds."

These companies have already proven they can't contain their crops. What will the future have in store for variables such as these plants cross pollinating in the wild leading to untested consequences?

Foreign cash disqualifies Romney from Presidential bid
"No other American presidential candidate has ever left the US to garner campaign contributions from foreign citizens.
There is a reason for this, one that Romney and his staff seem oblivious to and the mainstream media had ignored until just recently.
Using foreign contributions in any American election is a felony.
If you go outside the US, if you stay inside the US, if your contributor is living in the US but not a citizen, any money you get can mean years in jail.
Romney went the whole way, personally campaigning outside the US, soliciting foreign citizens, and humiliating himself and his country with his ignorance and flagrant attempts to trade illegal cash for promises of illegal war. One could hardly break more laws if one wanted.
Romney has raised millions in foreign cash at fundraising event across Israel and London, those that we know of so far. One table alone gave him a million in cash. None was from American citizens. Fewer than 10% of Romney’s contributors in Israel are estimated to be “dual citizens.” Others may have just flown the money in."

Ever since the field of play has been narrowed down to 2 candidates (excluding Dr. Paul who got shafted of course) I've felt as though Romney was throwing the game to hand Obama the win. Let's face it, accepting the job of head of state and being anything less than the 'Sun of Man', is a surefire bet to ensure you're the next American scapegoat, a punching bag for the citizens of this country, and the world to take their frustrations out on. This is not to stray from the fact that Obama is an invalid Unconstitutional son of a gun whom finds it fit to declare war at will minus Congressional consent. But let's face it, in essence, he's just the teleprompter puppet-in-chief. And Romney will be no different if elected, in fact out the gate I will believe he will be worse. As he didn't lie about his foreign policy regarding war in the debates such as Obama, he made no bones about it, he wants America to be the leading military power globally, and this is not far from the mormon outlook of American exceptionalism. But I digress..
Look at past presidential runners up whom didn't quite fit the bill: John McCain and John Kerry both currently mouthpieces for the 'military industrial complex'. Quite simply, running for office will get you a decent job. So there's no reason R-Money wouldn't throw the game here. This will surely have dire consequences, as like I said, out the gate Romney will be heinous, but here we are on the precipice of Obamas second term, and now he won't have that prospect looming over his head, just think, if he was willing to take it this far under the notion that his actions could possibly lead to consequences which might cost him an extended visit in the White House, then imagine what his position will be unabated. Also though both parties are one in the same, Democrats have a history of being anti-war, though with a Dumbocrat in office declaring multiple wars they will just stand by their man. If a Republican were to take office, surely a portion would oppose such measures which extend the era of perpetual warfare. Either way it's all fucked and I don't plan on voting. Gary Johnsons a step in the right direction, but lets face it, he wont earn nearly enough votes and quite personally I think he should've backed Ron Paul ages ago, as originally that's what he said he was going to do.

SONG: Mos Def - Niggas in Poorest
Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) - Niggas in Poorest
(lyrics)
[Intro]
Live from America
Yasiin, Yasiin, y'all seen
N.I.P, sing it
[Verse 1]
Poor so hard, my clean clothes look grimy, pretty women don't mind me
So what's fifty grand to a young nigga like me? More than my annual salary
Poor so hard, this shit crazy, walk outside the whole world hate me
Nervous stares at the thoroughfare, surveillance cameras, police tracing
Poor so hard, this shit weird, we be home and still be scared
There's grief here, there's peace here, easy and hard to be here
Psycho, liable to turn Michael, take your pick, Myers, Myers, Myers, same shit
Poor so hard, got holey socks, dope block on my stove top
Jumbotrons for astronauts, high in orbit off planet rock, say
Poor so hard, this chopper too, we starving Marvin, you hot food
There's birds of prey, no escape, open-air prison, local zoo
Poor so hard, who getting faded? Little Maurice in the sixth grade
No mama, no father, role model the dope game, say
Poor so hard, bitch behave, standing behind the deuce-deuce-trey
Ice-cold, heat blow, closed casket, cold case
[Hook]
Poor so hard, that shit cray
[Verse 2]
These young bloods is looking scary at the mall
They wearing pants, you can still see they drawers
They rob a nigga in the bathroom stall
They took his life cause he ain't want to take it off
Poor so hard, that shit cray, ain't it, Bey? Diabetics, fish filet
Poor so hard, your house so cold, nigga, it ain't spring
Every winter landlord fuckin' with my heat again
Bougie girl, grab your hand, show you how to do this ghetto dance
Fuck your French, we ain't in France, I'm just saying
Prince Williams ain't do it right, if you ask me
If I was him, I'd put some black up in my family
Fake Gucci, my nigga, fake Louis, my killa
Real drugs, my dealer, who the fuck is Margiela?
Doctors say I'm the illest, I ain't got no insurance
It's them niggas in poorest, be them rebel guerillas, huh
[Interlude: Malcolm X]
I don't worry, I tell you
I am a man who believed that I died 20 years ago
And I live like a man who is dead already
I have no fear whatsoever of anybody or anything
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
To the kings and queens and everyone in every place, yo
Don't get caught up in no throne, don't get caught up in no throne
Don't get caught up in no throne
Towers of Babylon rise up and so they shall fall
As it was written before, amen, so it goes on
Don't get caught up in no throne, don't get caught up in no throne
Don't get caught up in no throne
These devils out here lying, acting like the people ain't dying
We silver and they gold, ain't never saved a soul
Don't get caught up in no throne, don't get caught up in no throne
Don't get caught up in no throne
Signs through the earth and through the heavens, lunar, solar eclipses
We seeking for forgiveness and safety for our children
Don't get caught up in no throne, don't get caught up in no throne
Don't get caught up in no throne, Allah is in control

Lost Egyptian pyramids found by Google Earth
"A Google Earth satellite imagery survey may have found two pyramid complexes in Egypt, Discovery News reported.
The sites, which are located about 90 miles apart, contain unusual groupings of mounds with intriguing features and orientation, satellite archaeology research Angela Micol said to the Archaelogy News Network.
One site is located in Upper Egypt, just 12 miles from the city of Abu Sidhum on the Nile, and features four mounds with a larger triangular shaped plateau. The site complex is arranged in a very clear formation, and extends approximately 620 feet, three times the size of the Great Pyramid.
The second site is 90 miles north, and close to the Fayoum Oasis."

seeing through walls with a wireless router
"In the 1930s, U.S. Navy researchers stumbled upon the concept of radar when they noticed that a plane flying past a radio tower reflected radio waves. Scientists have now applied that same principle to make the first device that tracks existing Wi-Fi signals to spy on people through walls.
Wi-Fi radio signals are found in 61 percent of homes in the U.S. and 25 percent worldwide, so Karl Woodbridge and Kevin Chetty, researchers at University College London, designed their detector to use these ubiquitous signals. When a radio wave reflects off a moving object, its frequency changes—a phenomenon called the Doppler effect. Their radar prototype identifies frequency changes to detect moving objects. It’s about the size of a suitcase and contains a radio receiver composed of two antennas and a signal-processing unit. In tests, they have used it to determine a person’s location, speed and direction—even through a one-foot-thick brick wall. Because the device itself doesn’t emit any radio waves, it can’t be detected."

U.S. not seeking Goldman charges
"After a yearlong investigation, the Justice Department said Thursday that it won't bring charges against Goldman Sachs Group Inc. or any of its employees for financial fraud related to the mortgage crisis.
In a statement, the Justice Department said "the burden of proof" couldn't be met to prosecute Goldman criminally based on claims made in an extensive report prepared by a U.S. Senate panel that investigated the financial crisis."
