Terrorist watchlist database is collapsing
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008
Evidentaly, over 800 government contractors are incapable of designing or maintaining the National Counterterrorism Center’s integrated terrorist intelligence database with 500,000 names! The TIDE (Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment) database is supposed to be the “mother of all databases” that interconnected the various enforcement and policing agencies in the country and allowed them to exchange and share data.

The rebel rock group Rage against the Machine are playing on September 3rd (the same time as the Republican National Convention) in St. Paul, Minnesota at the Target Center. If their last co-liner with a political convention is any sign of things to come, this ought to be a intense night. From the VH1 article:
De la Rocha recently called for President Bush to be “tried for being a war criminal,” and during the band’s Lolla set, he raged against the last eight years of Republican rule and even had a word of warning for “Brother Obama,” referring to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama.
“Now, we know Brother Obama. … But I tell you what, if he comes to power come November and he doesn’t start pulling troops out of Afghanistan, I know a lot of people who are gonna stand up and burn down every office of every Senate.”
Here is the full article.

The FBI wants more powers to ‘investigate’ people without any basis
Friday, August 22nd, 2008
It seems as though the Bush administration is trying to ram as many facist “laws” down our throats as they can before the next president is in office.
From The New York TImes:
A Justice Department plan would loosen restrictions on the Federal Bureau of Investigation to allow agents to open a national security or criminal investigation against someone without any clear basis for suspicion, Democratic lawmakers briefed on the details said Wednesday.
Is it just me or are you tired of the government’s attempt to “Protect us” too?

Intel discovers wireless power…over 100 years after Tesla
Friday, August 22nd, 2008
Been there, done that...
Intel is reporting that they have discovered wireless transmission of power!!!! This will revolutionize our society… wait, wait, didn’t the great Nikola Tesla discover this already over a century ago???
For the layman, this means being able to use electronic devies that aren’t tethered to a cord. Laptops, phones, blenders, radios and other appliances charging without the need of cables.
From yahoo news:
Intel on Thursday showed off a wireless electric power system that analysts say could revolutionize modern life by freeing devices from transformers and wall outlets. Intel chief technology officer Justin Rattner demonstrated a Wireless Energy Resonant Link as he spoke at the California firm’s annual developers forum in San Francisco.
Electricity was sent wirelessly to a lamp on stage, lighting a 60 watt bulb that uses more power than a typical laptop computer
Justin Rattner your a genius!!!!
