You may be surprised who will knock on the door…

Ever since Obama called for a new domestic army many people waited for the next shoe to drop after his election as president but who would have expected the jackbooted knocker on your door to come from the Federal Communication Commission – “I’m from the FCC and I’m here to confiscate your computer.”
You may not know it, but if you have a wireless router, a cordless phone, remote car-door opener, baby monitor or cell phone in your house, the FCC claims the right to enter your home without a warrant at any time of the day or night in order to inspect it. For many years the agency has followed this rule to monitor licensed television and radio stations, and to crack down on pirate radio broadcasters but now the FCC says the same policy applies to any licensed or unlicensed radio-frequency device.
Isn’t this the truth….

Tree of life is leaning towards war..Can we stop it?
By: asmodia

The rise of technology and the importance of maintaining a strong eye towards investing in ‘the future’ seems to play a much more significant value than has been considered. in times of ‘war’, the ‘future’ seems bleak and lacking any true ‘hope’: but living in the 21st century seems to tilt the war-wagon greatly. many global aspects are being moved and shifted, and at times these movements are going to disrupt and disturb the common grounds that many have chosen to cling to: often in times of uncertainty, familiarity becomes a paramount concern for many minds on both sides of the power equation (those with/those without power) however, there does exist a ‘hopeful future’ despite the current economic collaspings that will continue to re-algin common grounds and disturb the means and ways that collective thinking has chosen to move. like upgrading an entire infrastructure, there will be detritus to toss away.

An increased (though very small) probability for War

An increased (though very small) probability for War
Probability of war seems to have increased. It is still small but definitely increased. Though it is unlikely that India will be involved in one (we never invaded any country in 5000 years – so we dont have the mindset) But, look how different war-indicating trends are catching up.
