Future Riot Shields Will Suffocate Protestors with Low Frequency Speakers Pentagon Partners With NATO To Create Global Cyber Warfare System Stop NATO October 8, 2010 Pentagon Partners With NATO To Create Global Cyber Warfare System Rick Rozoff U.S. Cyber Command is scheduled to be activated this month, in the words of a Reuters dispatch “ready to go to war in cyberspace” with full operational capability. The launching of the world’s first multi-service – with the involvement of all major branches of the U.S. armed forces: Air Force, Army, Marine Corps and Navy – military command is being coordinated with a complementary initiative by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Europe, the joint effort striving toward a worldwide cyber warfare system.

Obama: I can’t comment on Wall Street prosecutions (updated below) President Obama was interviewed by 60 Minutes‘ Steve Kroft last night. Kroft mentioned a new poll showing that 42% of Americans believe Obama’s policies most favor Wall Street rather than average Americans (only 35% believe the opposite). Kroft speculated that this was due in part to the fact that, as he put it, “there’s not been any criminal prosecutions of people on Wall Street,” and then asked Obama whether he was “disappointed” with that development. Obama replied: I can’t, as President of the United States, comment on the decisions about particular prosecutions. If only that were what President Obama really believed and how he actually comported himself. STEPHANOPOULOS: Final quick question. The following day, Obama’s White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, announced that the President’s opposition to prosecutions includes Bush lawyers who authorized torture:

Are We Living in a Super-Computer Simulation with Aliens Beings? One of the more mind-boggling theories is that we live in a computer simulation. Our world, our universe, might be a virtual reality matrix, programmed by the super-computer of a civilization of beings more advanced than we can possibly imagine. We wonder, where do the aliens and their UFOs fit in this? While our computers have a long way to go to equal the human mind in overall ability, computer science is leaping ahead, every year, every month, every day. Think back ten years: We could not have imagined then what computer technology does for us today. Now think ahead 50 years: Where will computers be then, if our human race still survives? How about 500 years? Nick Bostrom is a professor at Oxford University, faculty of Philosophy. "Through the Wormhole," DVD, Season One, with Morgan Freeman. Here is his Simulation Argument: You exist in a virtual reality simulated in a computer built by some advanced civilization. Your brain, too, is merely a part of this simulation.

The IAO states that TIA would be achieved by creating enormous computer databases to gather and store the personal information of everyone in the United States, including personal e-mails, social networks, credit card records, phone calls, medical records, and numerous other sources, without any requirement for a search warrant.
