This is creepy as hell

"The ability to shut off the Internet was included in the 1934 Telecommunications Act (as amended in 1996). It gives the president the ability to shut off the Internet, cellphones, and radio in a national emergency or while under the threat of war."

Whatever you think of collectivism and individualism, we are individuals. Just a plain simple fact. If you ignore this fact when trying to get people to cooperate and work together you basically opening the door for the group to be controlled by an abusive authority.

Have the demons come out to play?

Thanks for killin /n/ Moot!

'CIA building huge database on international money transfers'

WASHINGTON - The United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is amassing a huge database of international money transfers that includes the financial and personal data of millions of Americans, according to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

   Under the programme, the Federal Bureau of Investigation works with the CIA to collect large amounts of data on international transactions of Americans and others under the agency's terror investigations. The programme is authorised by the same provision of the Patriot Act after the sept 11, 2001 terror attacks that allowed the National Security Agency (NSA) to collect nearly all US phone records, officials familiar with the operation told WSJ.

   And like the NSA programme that has caused an uproar both in the US and abroad, the large-scale collection of data is authorised by a secret national security court known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

   The programme therefore shows how different US spy agencies, and not just the NSA, are using the same legal authority to collect data.

   The data, collected from Western Union and other US money transfer companies, includes transfers to and from the US but not solely domestic transactions. And most of the records are solely foreign, according to the newspaper.

   It said some lawmakers learnt about the programme earlier this year and raised concerns over the occasional use of US Social Security numbers and other data to tie financial activity to a single individual.

   But the programme has helped uncover terror ties and financial patterns, former US government officials told the WSJ.

   Although the CIA is barred from collecting intelligence on Americans, it can obtain data at home if it serves foreign intelligence purposes. And the CIA programme helps track terror financing around the globe, current and former US officials told the WSJ.

AGENCE-FRANCE-PRESSE

The UK has millions of niggers, smelly pakis and arab type immigrants who hate the country and expect the people to pay for them and their children's food/housing/healthcare/educat­ion and very little European/US/Aussie/Canadians who love it and want nothing !. The people have no say about what happens in there own country and are always told they live in a "truly great democracy" by shameless politicians.

We should take things seriously.

Most people here have been working had not to take things seriously, being anonymous, trolling, joking around, but all that aside we are sapient beings in the real world. The words we type here are things that actually happened, when you decide to play an hour of video games or coaxing lelz out of folks over the internet, that is an hour of your life.

People believe that this is unnecessary anxiety, however it is quite possible to accept this fact and not feel anxious over it. It is quite possible to play "real life" as you would do so in front of a computer, with the same interest and amusement.

Have the demons come out to play?

Would I be right in saying that Iran is nothing to be concerned about? Compared to H-bomb wielding Soviet Union or Maoist China they're nothing, and their socio-economic conditions are primed for them to get sucked into the global capitalist hegemony, they are industrialized, much oil, a very young population and some democratic institutions.

Asked by moderator Rabbi Shmuley Boteach whether the US should negotiate with Iran if it were to cease its uranium enrichment program, Adelson retorted, “What are we going to negotiate about?”

Adelson then imagined what might happen if an American official were to call up an Iranian official, say “watch this,” and subsequently drop a nuclear bomb in the middle of the Iranian desert.

"Then you say, ‘See! The next one is in the middle of Tehran. So, we mean business. You want to be wiped out? Go ahead and take a tough position and continue with your nuclear development. You want to be peaceful? Just reverse it all, and we will guarantee you that you can have a nuclear power plant for electricity purposes, energy purposes’," Adelson said.
