White Cloud superintendent Barry Seabrook said Thursday allowing the pictures to appear in the yearbook would be contrary to the state’s mandate that public schools’ sex-education curricula be abstinence-based.
Department of Homeland Security Shuts Down Dwolla Payments to and From Mt. Gox
Told folks that Bitcoin was next, and of course Dwolla is an anti-bank, ie, outside the Federal Reserve settlement system. The regime will defend itself to the bitter end.
Under the black flag of al-Qaeda, the Syrian city ruled by gangs of extremists - Telegraph
The black flag of al-Qaeda flies high over Raqqa’s main square in front of the smart new governor’s palace, its former occupant last seen in their prison. Their fighters, clad also in black, patrol the streets, or set up positions behind sandbags.
What a complete, Medieval mess.
Outrage at Syrian rebel shown 'eating soldier's heart'
Only religious fanaticism produces such madness. Humans must evolve beyond such bloody mysticism and leave religion behind. Oh, and these are the people Washington wants to arm.
Montana's Medical Marijuana Industry Goes Down
I take no pleasure in noting that I predicted after the election that the feds would crack down on nascent state and local moves to decriminalize pot. The War on Drugs is an entrenched part of the War Lobby. It is bipartisan, strong, and must be destroyed for the republic to survive.
Bomb-sniffing dog bites woman at Atlanta airport
Channel 2 Action News has learned federal authorities and Atlanta police are investigating why a drug- and bomb-sniffing dog seriously bit a woman waiting in the baggage claim area last Thursday.
This is some Grade-A seriously fucked up shit. An instrument of the federal government went seriously off the rails — its operator was evidently powerless to stop it — and all we get in return is a shrug and business as usual. Imagine a domestic drone maims someone — we’ll get the same reaction and lack of accountability.
U.S. requires group to remove 3-D gun instructions from its website
The U.S. State Department said Thursday it had heard enough from Defense Distributed, the non-profit group at the center of a 3-D gun printing controversy.
Attention Techno Utopians — and I won’t name names, but you know who you are, telling us the future is “too fast” for government to catch — the federal regime will always resist disruption of its power base. It may not happen immediately, it may not happen cleanly. It will happen, however. Bitcoin, you are next.
Technology can help us roll back the state, but given its present size, we can never outrun it.
The number of people on SSDI now exceeds the entire population of Greece. Anyone who argues that the rise in people on SSDI is normal and predictable is either a dumbfuck or a lying liberal Obama lover. The aging of the population has nothing to do with the increase. In 1968 there were 51 workers for every person on disability. Today there are 13 workers for every person on disablity.
Key to the Littoral Combat Ship’s success is fulfilling its planned capability of switching within 96 hours the vessel’s weapons modules for missions, such as finding mines, conducting anti-submarine operations and waging surface warfare.
The confidential report found, though, that the 96-hour goal doesn’t represent the entire process of switching weapons modules. The clock only starts when the module and everything ready to support it are dockside, the report said.
One wargame demonstrated that “getting all of the right people and equipment on station to conduct the exchange could take several weeks,” according to the report, and that process “removed LCS from the tactical fight.”
The concept of swapping equipment modules “no longer has the tactical utility envisioned by the original designers,” it found.
Fisker Automotive Inc., the troubled electric-car maker, missed its first payment on a $529 million U.S. Energy Department loan, according to an agency official.
