Scholarly book presents ‘hidden history’ of Nazi ‘gun control’

"'A skeptic could surmise that a better-armed populace might have made no difference,' the overview for 'Gun Control in the Third Reich: Disarming the Jews and ‘Enemies of the State’' observes, 'but the National Socialist regime certainly did not think so -- it ruthlessly suppressed firearm ownership by disfavored groups.' The book, 'based on newly-discovered, secret documents from German archives, diaries and newspapers of the time … presents the definitive, yet hidden history of how the Nazi regime made use of gun control to disarm and repress its enemies and consolidate power.'"

New Nanotech Set to Track, Self-Destruct, and GPS Tag Guns Wirelessly

"The technological system utilizes tiny devices that are implanted in guns and other weapons. These devices are more than chips; they are actual mechanical processes created by precision engineering that can affect the weapon’s operations. The devices include miniature GPS systems designed to make guns easier to track and self-destruct systems that could cause them to explode if they receive a wireless signal. The technology coincides with the ‘smart gun’ technology Anthony Gucciardi has broken down in the past, which can be used to ‘turn off’ weapons when in gun free zones or whenever designated by government."

Point-and-shoot scanner copies and creates almost any item using a 3D printer

"A British has inventor has unveiled the ultimate Star Trek gadget - a £650 handheld scanner that could be used to copy almost any item. The Fuel3D scanner, originally developed at Oxford University, can capture everything from a flower’s petals to the contours of human skin. It is able to capture images in seconds, and they can then be sent to a computer for processing. When combined with a 3D printer, it could be used to create 3D copies of everything from broken parts to 3D portraits." Continue reading →

Dotcom: Surveillance and Copyright Extremism Will Cost United States Dearly

"'The US government and the other Five Eyes partners (UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) have an agreement to push for new spy legislation that will provide them with backdoors into all Internet infrastructure and services. The NZ government is currently aggressively looking to extend its powers with the GCSB and the TICS act, which will force service providers with encryption capabilities to give them secret decryption access,' Dotcom explains. 'The US is on a path of destroying its massive lead in the Internet economy. Mass surveillance and copyright extremism will cost the US economy more than any terrorist attack or piracy,' Dotcom says." Continue reading →

Mega to run ‘cutting-edge’ encrypted email after Lavabit’s ‘privacy seppuku’

"Kim Dotcom’s Mega.co.nz is working on a highly-secure email service to run on a non-US-based server. It comes as the US squeezes email providers that offer encryption and Mega’s CEO calls Lavabit’s shutdown an 'honorable act of Privacy Seppuku.' The concept he was referring to was developed by secure service providers such as Cryptocloud, which made a ‘corporate seppuku’ pledge to oppose the mass surveillance and shield the privacy of their users’ data. The name for the move apparently derives from a Japanese ritual suicide, which was originally practiced by samurai to preserve honor." Continue reading →

Does “Homeland Security” really protect you?

"Secretary Janet Napolitano’s resignation is the perfect time get rid of the Department. Its alleged purpose is to prevent terrorism. But it’s trying to solve a problem that doesn’t really exist. You’re far more likely to die from bathtub drowning, home appliances, or deer accidents than from terrorism. This tells me the DHS is a waste of time. Spending shot up from $20 billion in 2002 to $60 billion this year. Also, the DHS isn’t really about security or terrorism prevention at all: The primary counter-terrorism agencies - FBI, CIA, and NSA - aren’t even part of the DHS. Less than 25% of DHS grants actually go to terrorism prevention." Continue reading →

IRS Needs AR-15′s For “Standoff Capabilities”?

"The IRS, which primarily acts as an audit agency, refuses to answer why its agents need AR-15s for 'standoff capability.' The IRS is not the only federal agency stocking up tactical weapons and training for paramilitary raids. Agencies like the Department of Education, the Social Security Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Internal Revenue Service continue to purchase large amounts of tactical weapons and ammunition to build up their law enforcement divisions."

The FED’s Money Trap

"The Federal Reserve, and therefore the economy, is caught on the horns of a dilemma of our own making. ZIRP (zero interest rate policy) and the aggressive pumping of money (upwards of $85 billion a month) into the financial system have tripled our money supply. Housing is perhaps the canary in the coal mine telling us that things are not going well and danger is close by. Even with 3% 30-year mortgages and no money down, we have to go back to 1997 to see such such low levels of home ownership in America." Continue reading →

Is the Gold Market Manipulated?

"By arguing whether or not gold manipulation exists, we may find that we are wasting our brain cells on the question. A better question, and one that we might choose to monitor on a regular basis, might be, 'To what degree is successful manipulation taking place?' We might then use the on-going answer as a guide, to inform our reasoning going forward, as to what impact any perceived manipulation is likely to have with regard to our precious metals investment."
