Black activists targeted by thugs

mardi 10 février 2015 à 13:00

Keeshan Harley, a black man from New York, has been stopped on the street and searched 125 times. The thugs know him as an activist and they want to harass him.

He said that things have not got better under de Blasio; that thugs still regard black males as targets, and black activists even more so.

Social media military unit

mardi 10 février 2015 à 13:00

Britain's decision to create a social media military unit reflects the age of permanent information warfare.

It should be noted that other countries including Russia and China are reported already to have social media armies. The UK is continuing a trend, not starting it. However, Russia and China have already crushed democracy and control public opinion. The place we can hope for them is in countries like the UK.

I don't use social media. Originally this was because it was inconvenient for my lifestyle (I often have no internet connection, for instance.) But I am coming to think that this did me a great service.

Autonomous Killing Machines

We Can Now Build Autonomous Killing Machines. And That's a Very, Very Bad Idea.

In a sense, the first autonomous killing machine was the mine with an automatic trigger. It could not move, but it could decide when to explode. Antipersonnel mines have been banned by most countries, though the US is one of the holdouts. Perhaps this autonomous nature is why landmines must be banned.

How little a plutocrat cares

A plutocrat shows how little he cares about the millions of Americans facing retirement with no savings.

School thug attacks

mardi 10 février 2015 à 13:00

A school thug attacked a girl in middle school (under 14 years old); her sister and cousin tried to save her, so he attacked them with a stick and pepper spray. One of them needed stitches in the head.

Then he made false charges against them (standard thug practice). Isn't that a crime? With such good proof, will he be prosecuted for it?

Americans, thugs in your children's school are a threat to them. Tell your school you want the thugs excluded.
