Why The Claim That Government Can't Create Wealth Is Provably Wrong. Dirty Wars: Jeremy Scahill and Rick Rowley's New Film Exposes Hidden Truths of Covert U.S. Warfare. Episode 02: Operation Paperclip « Inside Jobs Podcast. German scientists collected by Paperclip pose for a photo in Fort Bliss, Texas.
“Operation Paperclip is so-named because that’s all MacGyver required to smuggle the Nazi scientists out of Germany.” To the victor go the spoils. Even before the capitulation of German forces to the Allies at the end of World War II, American, British and Soviet forces were tear-assing around Europe to collect as much Nazi science, technology and, importantly, personnel as they could. The U.S. government was able to round up hundreds of German scientists, technicians and spies, many of whom it immediately put to work on the Western side working against the Soviets.
DARPA's detection system uses your brainwaves to detect threats faster than you can. Have you ever had to watch something really intently, knowing you absolutely couldn't miss anything that happens in front of you?
If you've done something like this for even 10 minutes, you know what a draining task it is. Imagine doing this for hours, days, weeks, or even months. This is what soldiers who work in video surveillance have to do. With such a tedious task at hand, you can only imagine the number of false alarms, not to mention the number of actual threats missed. To try and solve this problem, The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched the Cognitive Technology Threat Warning System, or CT2WS.

Military leads early 2012 funding of nanotech U.S. patent publications. 2012 is well underway with class 977 nanotech patent publications continuing to issue at high rates.
We have noted the explosive growth of 977 nanotech patenting many times previously. To date in 2012, 219 patent publications have published in the 977 patent class, which projects early on to about 2,850 patent publications for the year. While it is too early to project meaningfully for all of 2012, if this pace continues, 2012 will be another year of high rate of nanotech filings and may eclipse last year’s record number (3,439). The role of government in innovation is a hot topic these days. Of these class 977 patent publications, 33 (15%) appear to have the federal funding contract clause.
The defense funding was broken up among Air Force (5), DARPA (3), Navy (3), and Army (2). DARPA plans to revolutionize manufacturing, crowd source vehicles. The US defense research organisation, DARPA, is planning to build vehicles for the military more quickly by adopting a crowd-sourcing approach, much in the same way as open-source software is developed.

Wednesday, December 28, 2011 For some, heightened levels of security at airports has become a regular part of the travel experience. Others still have difficulty adapting to certain procedures - especially the full body scan.
According to the results of Thomson Reuters and NPR’s monthly Health Poll, around one-quarter of U.S. citizens would refuse a full body scan at the airport. End of the pro-democracy pretense. Media coverage of the Arab Spring somehow depicted the U.S. as sympathetic to and supportive of the democratic protesters notwithstanding the nation’s decades-long financial and military support for most of the targeted despots. That’s because a central staple of American domestic propaganda about its foreign policy is that the nation is “pro-democracy” — that’s the banner under which Americans wars are typically prettified — even though “democracy” in this regard really means “a government which serves American interests regardless of how their power is acquired,” while “despot” means “a government which defies American orders even if they’re democratically elected.”
