Big bucks to ensure perpetual war: The new American oligarchs | Middle East Eye There is literally nothing about the war on terror that isn’t or hasn’t been an inside scam. From Iraq’s missing billions to no-bid government contracts that funneled nearly $40bn of taxpayer money into Dick Cheney’s Haliburton alone, America’s endless war has enriched a select few at the expense of the US Treasury - like had the investment banker titans of the 20th century, and the robber barons the century before that. Paul Krugman, a Nobel prized economist, once quipped that, “America is a country that has gone from a country that made stuff to a country that makes stuff up.” While Krugman was specifically referring to economic inequalities, the transfer of wealth from the middle class to the top, caused by Wall Street “financial engineering”, his quip could equally apply to America’s burgeoning homeland security-industrial-complex. The US federal budget now allocates more than $60bn to homeland security. NBC’s go-to-terrorism-expert guy is Evan Kohlmann.

The Great SIM Heist: How Spies Stole the Keys to the Encryption Castle AMERICAN AND BRITISH spies hacked into the internal computer network of the largest manufacturer of SIM cards in the world, stealing encryption keys used to protect the privacy of cellphone communications across the globe, according to top-secret documents provided to The Intercept by National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden. The hack was perpetrated by a joint unit consisting of operatives from the NSA and its British counterpart Government Communications Headquarters, or GCHQ. The breach, detailed in a secret 2010 GCHQ document, gave the surveillance agencies the potential to secretly monitor a large portion of the world’s cellular communications, including both voice and data. The company targeted by the intelligence agencies, Gemalto, is a multinational firm incorporated in the Netherlands that makes the chips used in mobile phones and next-generation credit cards. In all, Gemalto produces some 2 billion SIM cards a year. “It’s unbelievable. GCHQ slide.

China and Mongolia clash over how to exploit the Gobi desert The Gobi Desert in East Asia conjures images of a remote landscape, with nomads riding across the steppe. In fact, today it is home to herders and farmers, the world’s fastest-growing economy, vast copper and gold mines and is China’s main domestic energy source. The imagined expanses and agro-pastoral livelihoods exist alongside mountains of coal, modern cities, desert agriculture and environmental challenges to its viability and future well-being. As Chinese president Xi Jingping arrives in Mongolia to discuss a series of trade and energy deals that would give Mongolia better access to global markets, it is worth looking at the shared desert that lies between Beijing and Ulaan Baatar. As the two nations work together, reconciling differences in the Gobi will be a major challenge. At 2.3m km2 the Gobi is the world’s third largest desert, covering most of Mongolia and much of northern China.

Back to the roots - My night in a Zulu village | Dreams of Freedom Finally I’m off the plane! After almost a day of traveling, hours of waiting, too many movies and a lack of sleep, I am back on solid ground. Our guide Elmar picks us up and the trip goes on by car. Everything is green, it’s warm. Spring in the end of November. For the first time I crossed the equator. For lunch we are going to the Sea Belle, a restaurant right by the beach. I’m in South Africa! We are driving along the coastline, then further into the country and my memory is fading. Tonight we will stay at the Ecabazini Zulu Cultural Village near the Albert Falls Dam. After a hot coffee, David – the owner of this place – explains the meanings of the different buildings. For dinner there is grilled beef with bread and salt, later we are given different sorts of vegetables. The fire is already started as we arrive. My cozy Zulu Hut for tonight. The view from my hut. The kitchen with an open fire. Traditional Zulu dances and singing. In Africa it get’s dark early. A night in the Zulu hut

Tempo TV Network Spans Caribbean From Newark Richard Perry/The New York Times Frederick A. Morton, founder and chairman of of Tempo Networks, carries its blend of Caribbean music, travel information, religion and social commentary to 26 islands. A lot of questions come to mind at the four-story brick building on Park Place with all those pictures of on the walls. What is a television network about all things Caribbean that is seen in 26 islands doing in Newark? The answers begin and end with Frederick A. One could imagine an infinitely cooler, updated version of “WKRP in Cincinnati” in the multicultural beehive of hip young programmers and geeks at play in the worlds of reggae, soca, dancehall, ska and calypso emanating from Mr. “I do believe I was born to do what I’m doing; I believe it’s a calling,” said Mr. “I believe in the region. Mr. But if Mr. And so, from the legal side of MTV, he began advocating a Caribbean network. Mr. The logic is threefold. “The Caribbean is probably the most nonthreatening place in the world,” Mr.

Pulp International - Vintage Pulp If they see us we'll say they can only recover us after a hard reboot. Sounds crazy, I know, but it’ll work. Above, a nice cover of Man’s Life from May 1961 with art by Will Hulsey, illustrating the story “Breakout from the All Girl Stalag 1140.” Original art without graphics below. Example of Malaysian cover art from 1959 isn’t classically pulp, but we’ll take it. Here’s something we found that’s a bit different than usual. Precisely when it’s scarcest is when you want it the most. Jayne Mansfield, Mickey Hargitay, Elvis Presley, Eartha Kitt, and more. Whisper also discusses the infamous relationship between Sammy Davis, Jr. and Kim Novak, and ponders whether Novak is still carrying a torch for Davis. Whisper, Ewa Aulin, Hayley Mills, Sammy Davis Jr., Kim Novak, Jayne Mansfield, Mickey Hargitay, Elvis Presley, Eartha Kitt, tabloid James Bond’s cruel nature is exposed on comic book cover.
