Poster Comment:Six Anti-Theses on WikiLeaksA number of you folks (here) on 4um just don't understand what is going on the Internet wrt to leaks (such as wikiLeaks).... so, and as a result more and more sites are springing up.

GMO Oranges, China, and the loss of another piece of America's agricultural base

By Barbara H. Peterson Farm Wars America’s oranges are now in the crosshairs of a genetic modification juggernaut that is sweeping this country and leaving in its wake a swath of destruction so wide and so utterly decimating that recovery seems a distant dream. The genetic modification of corn and soy has succeeded in infiltrating nearly every processed food in America, with wheat and alfalfa soon to be next. Now it’s oranges. But why? The orange is the second most profitable fruit crop in America after the grape. Valued at 1.5 billion in 2009, it accounts for 1/6 of all fruit and nut cash receipts. Because it requires a tropical or subtropical climate to flourish, commercial ...

Just a little more background on the “hero” Jullian Assange and Wikileaks… Wikileaks was started up in Dec. of 2006. Oddly enough, as a supposed “leak” site, a dissident site, it was given a great deal of immediate mainstream attention from the likes of the Washington Post, TIME magazine (a.k.a. "Slime Magazine" - my note), and even Cass Sunstein the now infamous Obama administration who wrote a paper on how to “cognitively infiltrate” dissident groups in order to steer them in a direction that is useful to the powers that be. The TIME magazine article is curious because it seems that right off the bat they were telling us how to interpret ...

Video: Los Angeles bans new fast-food restaurants in South LA Share posted at 10:12 am on December 10, 2010 by Ed Morrissey printer-friendly 60;This is not an attempt to control what food people put in their mouths,61; LA city council member Jan Perry insists, but of course the new ban on new fast-food restaurants in South LA is exactly that. Perry just wants to 60;diversify their food options,61; but apparently doesn57;t trust residents to do that for themselves and so wants to limit their options 52; presumably to higher-priced restaurants that may or may not open in their neighborhoods. After all, it57;s not as though there is a shortage of leasing space in these parts of ...
WikiLeaks: Provoking Big Brother

WikiLeaks is exposing the way our government conducts "business." It is not a pretty process. Sometimes Uncle Sam limps along like a powerless giant, as when secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton vainly plead with China to stop facilitating the military rise of Iran. (But don't let that stop you from buying that made-in-China flat-screen TV for Christmas. Great price.) Sometimes Uncle Sam slimes around like the mob, as when shutting down opposition to the Copenhagen climate accord is his racket and bullying is his game. The rock-bottom worst of the revelations, however, shows Uncle Sam patronizing the American people, lying to us about fundamental issues ...
So WikiLeaks Is Evil For Releasing Documents . . . But DynCorp Gets A Pass For Pimping Young Boys To Afghan Cops?

Editor's Note: American taxpayer dollars hard at work -- something to remember around tax time. Tech Dirt One refrain we keep hearing against Wikileaks is that the cable releases aren't really "whistleblowing," because they're not really revealing anything. However, it seems like each day there's another big revelation of rather horrible things being done (and covered up) by the US government. The latest, pointed out by Boing Boing, involves a report from a cable that US-based private security contractor DynCorp, who was hired by the US to train Afghani police, was apparently supplying drugs and young boys for a sort of sex party. The details are horrifying. ...
Tortured FBI whistleblower warns WikiLeaks fans [Full Thread]

An FBI whistleblower has alerted that supporting WikiLeaks founder, Julius Assange and subsequently calling for revolution due to government cover-ups are intended results of a counterintelligence reverse tactic not in best interest of the public. Bob Levin, FBI targeted whistleblower since 2000, knows sophisticated counterintelligence tactics designed to manipulate the unwitting. Levin has lectured Special Agents in Training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. He has been requested to brief Counterterrorism Taskforce Agents relating to his skill sets and investigative techniques. “My background was in codes and local, specialized state and federal law enforcement that ended ...

The WikiLeaks Battle: Should Information Be Shared or Censored? Published : December 08, 2010 in Knowledge@Wharton Julian Assange, the Australian founder of WikiLeaks, the controversial website that has been posting classified government documents, is now being held without bail in the U.K., awaiting extradition to Sweden for questioning regarding an alleged rape. But sensational news aside, his site's recent release of confidential U.S. State Department cables has implications for businesses and corporations with sensitive information to shield, according to experts at Wharton and the University of Pennsylvania.

Way Cool Ready Reserve Ammo

I just learned about a new readiness product tonight listening to the third hour of the Jeff Rense program. Ready Reserve Foods is now beginning to offer Ready Reserve Ammo packed in airtight nitrogen flushed cans. As long as the seal is maintained the Ammo can set on the shelf virtually indefinitely in reserve ready for an emergency. Either as part of a bug-out bag or part of the stores for a retreat this item makes a lot of sense. It is one thing to have reserve supplies and another to be able to hold onto it in a social collapse. At this point in time they are offering two calibers .22 LR and .223 FMJ. Here are the pdf downloads of the labels. It is so new I could not yet find it on ...

Despite rumors that various splinter forces within the Republican party are attempting to block Ron Paul's fateful chairmanship of the Monetary Policy Subcommittee, we now have confirmation that the only sane politician left will now be Ben Bernanke's direct nemesis during any and all future Congressional spectacles starring the printing unchallenged one. And with US debt creeping ever closer to the debt ceiling, coupled with the dollar for dollar monetization of the US deficit, such spectacles will soon be plenty. Fast forward to 3:30 in the clip for the announcement.
CYBERWAR: Now Hackers Have Taken Down Mastercard.com As Revenge For Julian Assange

It looks like the group that successfully took down the website of Julian Assange's Swiss Bank have claimed another victim. Mastercard.com is down, and @Anon_operation just tweeted that it's due to a DDOS attack. Of course, Mastercard is one of the payment services that cut off the ability to donate to Wikileaks. Update: We're not exactly sure what this means, but this is a Reuters flash: Mastercard says working to suspend acceptance of mastercards on WikiLeaks until situation resolved.

Big Sis to address public via telescreens at checkout lanes. WASHINGTON — Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano today announced the expansion of the Department’s national “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign to hundreds of Walmart stores across the country—launching a new partnership between DHS and Walmart to help the American public play an active role in ensuring the safety and security of our nation. “Homeland security starts with hometown security, and each of us plays a critical role in keeping our country and communities safe,” said Secretary Napolitano. “I applaud Walmart for joining the ‘If You See ...

Julian Assange He's a guy with a vague history... Who travels the world without visible means of support... His parents: Members of an LSD "cult" that abused kids... Hmmm... He's not against war... He hates the 9/11 truth movement... He has no info about the Bush or Obama White House...or the Federal Reserve Bank...or Goldman Sachs (but he is helping take down Bank of America)... His "leaks" paint Pakistan as a threat and foreign politicians the CIA doesn't like as jerks... He believes Osama is alive...and probably in Pakistan... Everything else he "leaks" is stuff we all already knew... The mainstream media loves him... The right ...
WIKILEAKS And The Streisand effect
Post Date: 2010-12-06 13:13:01 by HAPPY2BME-4UM

Very interesting example of the Streisand effect The Streisand Effect: The Streisand effect is a primarily online phenomenon in which an attempt to hide or remove a piece of information has the unintended consequence of causing the information to be publicized widely and to a greater extent than would have occurred if no contrary action had been attempted. So the US State Department, in their infinite wisdom, allows sensitive and potentially embarrassing diplomatic communications to be available on the SIPRenet (lol!) and classified at a low enough level so that millions of military and government personnel can have access to them. Then, lo and behold, one of those ...

ALERT: Elitist Bankers and Congressional Leadership are Plotting to Stop Ron Paul With Republican control of the House, Ron Paul, as senior member of the House Financial Services subcommittee that oversees monetary policy, is scheduled to become chairman of that subcommittee . The banking elitists that were thrown billions upon billions by Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve sure don't want the real supervision that Ron Paul would bring. And they are plotting.Write Phil Mattingly and Robert Schmidt at Newsweek: Officials at several major banks have privately raised concerns with Republican leaders that, by allowing Paul to become a chairman, his radical views would gain ...

cops keep telling everyone its not legal to film police, in public or during a traffic stop. a Ron Paul supporter sued homeland security this year after they arrested him for filming outside a federal building. he won, when dhs settled & paid damages. a motorcyclist who had been charged with wiretapping for his helmet cam during a traffic stop had the charges tossed out by the judge recently. However, police keep arresting people & threatening them for filming police. the government has cameras everywhere, yet tells us if we film, it's a crime. What should the people do? i was taking a photo recently in a public place, hadn't even seen the officer in my photo, when he ...

Man in a Speedo at TSA airport security
Post Date: 2010-12-05 10:14:35 by bush_is_a_moonie
9 Comments
PHOENIX -- A man hoping to avoid the new TSA pat-down procedure at Sky Harbor airport tried something a little a different as he entered the airport security line last week. Perhaps inspired by the Arizona woman who recently stripped down to her bra and panties at a Los Angeles airport, this frequent flyer entered the security line wearing only a Speedo. Mike Mueller has an artificial hip, which sets off multiple TSA alarms each time he goes through airport metal detectors. In an effort to speed things up, Mueller thought wearing only a Speedo might make the TSA Agent's job a little easier. His daughter documented the events in the video below.

While the revelations in the Wiki-leaks documents about the true nature of the US government and its imperial attitude towards other nations are welcome, I find myself in the strange position of having to agree with Hillary Clinton, David Cameron et al that the leaks won't affect anyone's relations with anyone. Our leaders are an inherently hypocritical bunch and over the past 10 years, even the most uninformed have come to understand that our leaders have a definite tendency to say one thing and do another. Who doubts that such hardened politicians fully understand that lying to each other is par for the course in the sordid game of modern global governance? As such, why should ...
