City expands surveillance system to include private cameras of residents, businesses

This expand­ing “vol­un­tary” sur­veil­lance net­work is a pub­lic-pri­vate part­ner­ship, allow­ing police detec­tives access to video footage in most loca­tions only where crimes have already occured. Such net­works can­not guar­an­tee to pre­vent crime; they record crime. “Baltimore’s Citi­Watch video sur­veil­lance pro­gram has expand­ed over the past eight years from an ini­tial instal­la­tion of 50 stand­alone cam­eras to more than 600 net­worked closed-cir­cuit […]

John W. White­head, Founder, the Ruther­ford Institute As I point out in my new book, A Gov­ern­ment of Wolves: The Emerg­ing Amer­i­can Police State, there are sev­er­al meth­ods for con­trol­ling a pop­u­la­tion.

Salem’s Intergovernmental Agreement with SW Oregon

50,000 dot com

Dr. Charles Battig Let’s start a new car­bon diox­ide (CO2) web­site. Let’s for­get unimag­i­na­tive and puny sites anchored in the mid 300’s.

NOAA Report Destroys Global Warming Link To Extreme Weather

Sci­en­tists at the Nation­al Ocean­ic and Atmos­pher­ic Admin­is­tra­tion have demol­ished claims by glob­al warm­ing activists that glob­al warm­ing caused or wors­ened many extreme weath­er events last year.

Property Rights at Stake in EPA’s Water Power Grab

Thanks to the fed­er­al gov­ern­ment, it soon may become far more dif­fi­cult to use and enjoy pri­vate prop­er­ty. The Envi­ron­men­tal Pro­tec­tion Agency and the Army Corps of Engi­neers want to make a water—and land—grab that should scare everyone. Under the Clean Water Act, the fed­er­al gov­ern­ment has juris­dic­tion over “nav­i­ga­ble waters,” which the statute fur­ther […]
