Social Radar? Attitude spying????

O.K. we ain't gonna comment on this one!

The Air Force’s chief scientist isn’t alone in this effort. Over three years, the Pentagon has spent more $125 million on dozens of projects meant to better quantify, model — and, eventually, foresee — the human, social, cultural, and behavioral dimensions of conflict. Several of these “HSCB” systems are now in use in U.S. military units across the globe. Darpa’s Integrated Crisis Early Warning System (ICEWS), for one, is being expanded to cover six of the Defense Department’s geographic commands, covering 175 different countries. Yet within the Pentagon, there are deep divisions over the program’s efficacy.

Using biometrics, Social Radar will identify individuals, Maybury noted in his original 2010 paper on the topic for the government-funded MITRE Corporation. Using sociometrics, it will pinpoint groups. Facebook timelines, political polls, spy drone feeds, relief workers’ reports, and infectious disease alerts should all pour into the Social Radar, Maybury writes, helping the system keep tabs on everything from carbon monoxide levels to literacy rates to consumer prices. And “just as radar needs to overcome interference, camouflage, spoofing and other occlusion, so too Social Radar needs to overcome denied access, censorship, and deception,” he writes.

 

And in a presentation about the Air Force’s “contributions” to HCSB efforts, Maybury even lists “Metropolitan Area Persistent Sensing” — city-wide spying — as well as “micro munitions that limit collateral damage” and “non lethal directed energy weapons.” Accompanying the words is a picture of the weapon from the Air Force’s allegedly non lethal arsenal. It’s a ray gun that shoots invisible cousins of microwaves which make people feel like they’re being blasted by an open furnaceAdd to Technorati Favorites .

Obama to protect the Banks-the law is not equal

We often preface our posts regarding President Obama with the statement that we voted for him.  We do that for a reason reason..  And that is to remind ourselves, if nobody else, that Obama was one of the biggest con jobs this writer has ever fell for.  While his mantra regarding change was "yes we can" the reality is, NO WE CAN'T.  As it turns out, as we should have known it would turn out, how it most always turns out, Obama is nothing more than another corporate paid whore.

Most are aware of the various banks attempting to settle foreclosure crimes through settlements with the Securities and exchange Commission and various state governments.  The fact that this is even a topic of conversation is an indication of how far off the moral compass we have traveled and the ever widening gulf  between what is legal for the rich and their corporations and what is legal for the working class.

In simple language the banks committed crimes.  The watchdog agencies and criminal justice departments know that the banks committed crimes that helped lead this country into one of the biggest financial collapses in history.  But who has been charged?  Who has been arrested?  Who will go to jail?  Who will pay for these crimes?  We will!  Because the SEC says it is to expensive to try and prosecute the rich so they have to settle for a payoff.  We ask you?  If you were charged with a crime and offered money to have charges dropped what would happen?  You would be charged with another crime!
Too Big To Fail? Try Too Big To Prosecute! or SEC still ...
Moral Hazards of "To big to fail"
