All the Creepy Ways Big Brother Is Watching You

John W. White­head, Founder, the Ruther­ford Institute “You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assump­tion that every sound you made was over­heard, and, except in dark­ness, every move­ment scrutinized.”—George Orwell, 1984 None of us are per­fect. All of us bend the rules occa­sion­al­ly. Even before the age of over­crim­i­nal­iza­tion, when the […]

[1] [CJF empha­sis added]  That, obvi­ous­ly, is only one part of the seri­ous issues regard­ing elec­tro­mag­net­ic ener­gy tech­nol­o­gy […]

Watch Out For Opt Out!

A “Seis­mic Shift” In Assess­ing Students “The group calls for what’s called “assess­ment lit­er­a­cy” for teachers,  but also admin­is­tra­tors, school boards, par­ents — and students.” (Source) A 3D Research Report by Mari Caplan Many par­ents, under­stand­ably fed up by the aggres­sive test­ing asso­ci­at­ed with Com­mon Core Stan­dards or now Career and Col­lege Ready Stan­dards, are […]

Go to Prison for Sharing Files? That’s What Hollywood Wants in the Secret TPP Deal

The Trans-Pacif­ic Part­ner­ship agree­ment (TPP) pos­es mas­sive threats to users in a dizzy­ing num­ber of ways. It will force oth­er TPP sig­na­to­ries to accept the Unit­ed States’ exces­sive copy­right terms of a min­i­mum of life of the author plus 70 years, while lock­ing the US to the same lengths so it will be hard­er to […]

TPP

‘Free trade’ isn’t what Trans-Pacif­ic Part­ner­ship would deliv­er … Think the Trans-Pacif­ic Part­ner­ship is a free trade agree­ment? Think again. In prin­ci­ple, almost every­one’s in favor of free trade. It pro­motes inter­na­tion­al har­mo­ny, rais­es wages, helps economies grow. It’s an arti­cle of his­tor­i­cal faith that the enact­ment of harsh pro­tec­tive U.S. tar­iffs in 1930 con­tributed […]

Trading Away Their Oaths

On the open­ing day of each new Con­gress, every mem­ber of the U.S. Sen­ate and House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives takes an oath of office to “sup­port and defend the Con­sti­tu­tion of the Unit­ed States against all ene­mies, for­eign and domes­tic” and “bear true faith and alle­giance to the same.” For many mem­bers, no doubt, this solemn […]

Civilization Rights

Busi­ness ceas­es to become busi­ness when it becomes engaged in polit­i­cal deci­sion mak­ing regard­less of whether the deci­sions con­cern for­eign or domes­tic pol­i­cy. It becomes a fifth col­umn that seeks absolute con­trol. A per­son would have to be com­plete­ly brain dead not to see that this is what has hap­pened to the Unit­ed States. It’s […]
