Criminals Don’t Follow Laws
Here is a good article by Gary North discussing gun control and its ramifications.
Both Colorado Senators Recalled!
The New York Times has the story:
The recall elections ousted two Democratic state senators, John Morse and Angela Giron, and replaced them with Republicans. Both defeats were painful for Democrats – Mr. Morse’s because he had been Senate president, and Ms. Giron’s because she represented a heavily Democratic, working-class slice of southern Colorado.
Danny Lewin – First to Fight, First to Die – 9/11/2001
From: Slate
… But before any of the horror unfolded that day, a little-known act of heroism is likely to have taken place on Flight 11 when Lewin—an Israeli-American who served in one of the most elite counterterrorism units of the Israel Defense Force (IDF)—rose from his seat and engaged in a struggle with one of the terrorists to try to thwart the hijacking. During the struggle Lewin was killed, making him the very first victim of the 9/11 attacks.

From the Loadout Room:
Knowledge and preparation are the two keys to protecting yourself from sexual violence.  The violence can come from a friend, stranger or  a twisted mix of both as the problem of date-rape continues to grow.
Syria, America and Putin’s Bluff
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 10/Sep/2013 16:42
“Syria, America and Putin’s Bluff is republished with permission of Stratfor.”
By George Friedman
In recent weeks I’ve written about U.S. President Barack Obama’s bluff on Syria and the tightrope he is now walking on military intervention. There is another bluff going on that has to be understood, this one from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Putin is bluffing that Russia has emerged as a major world power. In reality, Russia is merely a regional power, but mainly because its periphery is in shambles. He has tried to project a strength that that he doesn’t have, and he has done it well. For him, Syria poses a problem because the United States is about to call his bluff, and he is not holding strong cards. To understand his game we need to start with the recent G-20 meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia. Read the rest of this entry »
Syrian Woman Urges McCain To Vote Against War in Syria
A Syrian woman confronted Senator John McCain at a townhall meeting and here is the exchange:
Two Minutes Hate
Author Jason Reynolds compares the current culture with the culture of INGSOC in the novel 1984:
The Hate celebrates Ingsoc’s slogans—WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH—and helps stamp out thoughtcrime, i.e. the right to hold personal, unorthodox beliefs and value privacy, the very thing Winston secretly lives for. He’s actually a big fan of Goldstein. But even this devout intellectual heretic feels powerless to the overwhelming wave of emotion that ripples though the crowd and makes otherwise reserved and terse people start “leaping up and down…and shouting at the tops of their voices.â€Â  Take a look at a cinematic interpretation of this.
Senator Paul is Voting No on Syria
From Time.com:
War should occur only when America is attacked, when it is threatened or when American interests are attacked or threatened. I don’t think the situation in Syria passes that test. Even the State Department argues that “there’s no military solution here that’s good for the Syrian people, and that the best path forward is a political solution.â€

Spooks break most Internet crypto, but how?

ThursÂday’s revÂeÂlaÂtion that US and British intelÂliÂgence agenÂcies are able to decode most InterÂnet trafÂfic was a transÂformÂing moment for many, akin to getÂting definÂiÂtive proof of intelÂliÂgent extraterÂresÂtriÂal life. It funÂdaÂmenÂtalÂly changed the assumpÂtions that many of us have about the tools hunÂdreds of milÂlions of peoÂple rely on to shield their most priÂvate inforÂmaÂtion from pryÂing eyes. And it chalÂlenged the trust placed in the peoÂple who build and proÂvide those tools.
NRA and ACLU Join Forces to Fight NSA Spying Program
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 8/Sep/2013 08:59
From Reuters:
In a brief backing the American Civil Liberties Union’s lawsuit against senior U.S. government officials, the NRA said the collection of vast communications threatens privacy and could allow the government to create a registry of gun owners.
