A Prize Is Needed For Easy Encryption
Posted by Brian in Comms, Threat Watch on 30/Apr/2014 12:16
From the Electronic Frontier Foundation:
In an era when email and messaging services are being regularly subject to attacks, surveillance, and compelled disclosure of user data, we know that many people around the world need secure end-to-end encrypted communications tools so that service providers and governments cannot read their messages. Unfortunately, the software that has traditionally been used for these purposes, such as PGP and OTR, suffers from numerous usability problems that make it impractical for many of the journalists, activists and others around the world whose lives and liberty depend on their ability to communicate confidentially.

Bloomberg Starts Grass Roots Org. With Millions Of Dollars
From Bearing Arms:
Bloomberg is now hoping that the fourth time is a charm, as he’s launched a $50 million vanity project, Everytown for Gun Safety. The prevailing theory behind the effort seems to be an attempt to market gun prohibition as “gun safety,†while attempting to destroy the number one gun safety organization the world has ever known, the National Rifle Association.
California May Have A Chance With Candidates Like This
From local CBS station:
Michelle Ambrozic’s sign depicts a woman holding a rifle with the message: Less Government. Lower Taxes. Liberty.
Soldier Survives Gun Shot To The Neck
From The Telegraph:
Doctors told Lance Corporal Simon Moloney the odds of the bullet missing his airway and major arteries were “a trillion to one,” but despite bleeding heavily, he returned to his post and carried on firing at insurgents for 90 minutes before being flown to safety.
Panel Says White House’s Failure To Negotiate Gaddafi Surrender Resulted In Benghazi Attack
From The Daily Mail:
The Obama administration’s unwillingness to help broker a peaceful exit for the Libyan strongman, ‘led to extensive loss of life (including four Americans)’ when al-Qaeda-linked militants attacked U.S. diplomatic facilities in the city of Benghazi,’ the commission told reporters.
Don’t Mix .300 BLK And 5.56
From Bearing Arms:
Tom’s description of the rifle, magazine, and shooter eerily echo that of other 300 BLK/.223 kabooms I’ve heard of, and in each instance, it appears that lighter .300 BLK bullets can be chambered just enough for a firearm to fire, especially with handloads that might not be seated at the correct depth.
Book – This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible
You can read a review of the book at PJ Media and pre-order it at Amazon.com.
Cobb’s book is both a history of the civil rights movement and a memoir of his involvement. Cobb was a field secretary for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), one of the front-line civil rights organizations in the 1960s South. As the name suggests, SNCC — like many of the civil rights organizations — eventually adopted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s belief in peaceful non-resistance. But as Cobb’s book explains, even Dr. King was not initially prepared to turn the other cheek.
Containing Terrorsim With Small Forces
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 24/Apr/2014 07:25
From Lawfare:
The United States is deeply concerned about the potential for countries like Libya, Mali, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, and others to export insecurity—particularly terrorism, but also other forms of violence and instability. However, Washington is not willing to dedicate substantial resources to dealing with these crises, as it did in the counterinsurgencies of the 2000s or the peace operations of the 1990s.
9/11 Gitmo Trial Stalls
From Military Times:
The prosecution hoped to start jury selection early next year, but that now seems impossible as a judge conducts an inquiry into the scope and possible legal implications of the apparent investigation of the defense team and legal fights loom over classified evidence from the CIA and other issues.
