No Implants Needed: Movement-Generating Brain Waves Detected and Decoded Outside the Head
Source: Scientific American Our bodies are wired to move, and damaged wiring is often impossible to repair. Strokes and spinal cord injuries can quickly disconnect parts of the brain that initiate movement with the nerves and muscles that execute it, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) draw the process out to the same effect. Scientists have been looking for a way to bypass damaged nerves by directly connecting the brain to an assistive device—like a robotic limb—through brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. Now, researchers have demonstrated the ability to nonintrusively record neural signals outside the skull ...
US creates terror groups, ex ISI-intelligence chief says
Source: Press TV Former head of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency Hamid Gol says the United States is seeking to create and train terrorist groups in the region. In a Wednesday interview with Fars news agency, Gol said Washington had been making efforts to destabilize the region through supporting groups like the Pakistan-based Jundallah terrorist group. Gol went on to say that such attempts by the US intelligence agencies were in particular directed at fomenting unrest in Iran. "The US intelligence agencies pursued just one goal by forming Rigi's group which was provoking unrests and instability in Iran," Gol was quoted as saying. He also ...
Pentagon: Shots Fired
Badly Injured Suspect in Custody; Police Suffer Graze Wounds By NED POTTER and MICHAEL S. JAMES March 4, 2010 Two police officers were injured by a suspect who opened fire outside the Pentagon tonight after the officers asked him for an access pass, police said.

The suspect was identified as John Patrick Bedell, sources told ABC News and The Associated Press, which added that he was 36 years old. Keevill would only say the suspect was "an American ...

Washington, Mar 4 - Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) today introduced H. Con Res. 248 a privileged resolution with 16 original cosponsors that will require the House of Representatives to debate whether to continue the war in Afghanistan.

U.S. Commanders are publicly telling the Taliban when we are coming and where we are going to wage war. This while Karzai tries to cut a ...
5 Reasons that Corporate Media Coverage is Pro-War

There are five reasons that the mainstream media is worthless. 1. Self-Censorship by Journalists Initially, there is tremendous self-censorship by journalists. For example, several months after 9/11, famed news anchor Dan Rather told the BBC that American reporters were practicing "a form of self-censorship": There was a time in South Africa that people would put flaming tires around peoples' necks ...

Why the White House Won’t Release a Key Cyber Paper
Mar 4 2010, 5:58 PM ET Even as the new government-wide cyber coordinator, Howard Schmidt, pledged to promote transparency as the government moves to protect cyberspace, the administration won't release a legal memorandum that many, including the one-time head of its cyber security review, hoped would be made public. The memo was drafted as an appendix to the White House Cyberspace Policy Review led by Melissa Hathaway, at the time the acting senior director for cyber issues at the National Security Council. Hathaway has since left the government. She has told colleagues that the White House overruled her decision to release the ...

Federal agencies may expand internet monitoring to beef up cybersecurity
By Sahil Kapur Thursday, March 4th, 2010 -- 10:19 am The federal government may be expanding its monitoring of online communications in the name of thwarting cyberattacks. A top cybersecurity official at the Department of Homeland Security said in an interview with CNET that it's considering greater use of a federal technology that provides the department information in order to help prevent online attacks. Called the Einstein technology, it's currently only used by federal networks, but DHS's Greg Schaffer said the government might expand its use to "critical infrastructure spaces" in the private sector. CNET's Declan McCullagh explains: Not much is known about how Einstein ...
Iraq early voting shattered by deadly blasts
By REBECCA SANTANA, Associated Press Writer Rebecca Santana, Associated Press Writer – 2 hrs 22 mins ago BAGHDAD – A string of deadly blasts shattered an early round of voting in Iraq Thursday, killing 17 people and highlighting the fragile nature of the country's security gains ahead of crucial parliamentary elections this Sunday. Iraq security forces were out in full force, trying to protect early voters in an election that will determine who will lead the country through the crucial period of the U.S. troop drawdown and help decide whether the country can ...
Marine reportedly killed by opium-fueled private contractors
By John Byrne Thursday, March 4th, 2010 -- 9:43 am Pentagon originally said Marine killed in combat The Pentagon confirmed late Tuesday that it is investigating the death of a 24-year-old Indiana Marine after he was shot to death in Afghanistan, allegedly by several US-paid private security contractors. The contractors, according to a fellow Marine in Afghanistan who communicated with an investigative reporter in Chicago, were Afghanis who were found with "copious amounts of opium" and had been paid by the United States as guards. "He was killed by American Hired Local National Contractors that were high on opium the morning of the 19th," the ...
Fallujah birth defects blamed on US weapons
By Daniel Tencer Thursday, March 4th, 2010 -- 1:26 pm Iraqi doctors reportedly warn women not to have children; Doctors pressured not to 'embarrass the United States': claim Birth defects in the Iraqi city of Fallujah have soared in recent years, with doctors saying advanced US weaponry such as white phosphorous and depleted uranium shells may have caused a "massive, unprecedented number" of congenital health problems. A BBC investigative report has found that the incidence of birth defects in Fallujah has reached a rate 13 times higher than that found in Europe. One doctor at a US-built hospital in the city says the number ...
FBI paid racist shock jock Hal Turner ‘in excess of $100,000?
By Stephen C. Webster Thursday, March 4th, 2010 -- 8:26 pm Turning informant on your fans can be lucrative, if you're a racist shock jock by the name of Hal Turner. Amid a trial where Turner faces criminal charges for making threats of violence against public servants, he disclosed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation paid him "in excess of $100,000" over a five-year period. Turner, a long-time racist radio host who attracted an audience of white supremacists and neonazis, was first revealed as an FBI informant in 2008. After becoming the subject of ridicule on infamous Internet forum 4chan, Turner was confronted by ...
Surveillance Drones To Zap Protesters Into Submission
The future of policing: Dissidents to be tortured into compliance by marauding unmanned vehicles Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Friday, February 12, 2010 Illustrating once again that the prison planet being built around us far outstrips anything Aldous Huxley or George Orwell ever imagined, a Wired News report details how police forces worldwide are preparing to unveil drone aircraft that can not only conduct surveillance of protesters, but also zap them into submission with non-lethal weapons. As part of their ongoing mission to “protect and serve” the new world order, cops across the world are getting access to military drones which allow them to ...
Disinformation Tactics: The Methods Used To Keep You In The Dark
Source: Dprogram.net There was a time, not too long ago (relatively speaking), that governments and the groups of elites that controlled them did not find it necessary to conscript themselves into wars of disinformation. Propaganda was relatively straightforward. The lies were much simpler. The control of information flow was easily directed. In fact, during the early Middle-Ages in most European countries commoners were not even allowed to own a Bible, nor was the Bible allowed to be interpreted from Latin to another language, let alone any other tome that might breed “dangerous ideas”. This was due in large part to the ...
New York Bills Would Mandate HPV Vaccines Without Parents’ Consent
By Jim Edwards | Feb 9, 2010 Two bills in the New York State legislature would, if passed, allow healthcare practitioners to vaccinate children under 18 against HPV without their parent’s consent. The bills would require the vaccinations before children could attend school, leading to the interesting potential scenario of schools vaccinating kids without their parents’ consent simply because the child wants to stay in school. Even without the inevitable controversy over whether under-18s should be able to get preventive care from their doctors without their parents hearing the details of their sex lives, the bills read like full-employment acts ...
Co-Opted False Flag Tea Party takes aim to unseat Ron Paul
By David Edwards and Daniel Tencer Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 -- 11:19 am There is more than a little irony in the fact that congressman Ron Paul is facing three primary challengers this year, all of them linked in some way to the Tea Party movement. Many observers give the libertarian from Texas credit for having sparked the Tea Party movement in 2007 when he held a "money bomb" fundraiser on the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, raking in some $6 million for his presidential run in one day. But, as the Dallas Morning News reported earlier this week, Paul is facing three ...
Inept Press Secretary Robert Gibbs in a”Over the Top” Partisan Way Pours Fuel on the Fire to Further Polarize the Parties by Mocking Sarah Palin with His Grocery List on Hand and Orwellian Double Think of “Hope and Change”
(CBS) Following President Obama's surprise appearance at the White House press briefing, press secretary Robert Gibbs garnered laughter from the press corps by holding up his hand to reveal that he had written notes on his palm in black marker. Gibbs' move was a jab at Sarah Palin, who was shown to have written notes on her hand at a speech at the Tea Party convention Saturday after making an implicit criticism of the president for using a TelePrompTer. (CBS) Gibbs quipped that he had made the notes in case he and his family are snowed in by the storm approaching Washington. He said ...
Sarah Palin Destroys the Co-Opted Neo-Con Owned False Flag Tea Party With a Flash of Her Hand: Colbert Calls her “F**king Retarded”
Stephen Colbert has fine words for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who defended Rush Limbaugh's use of the word "retard" this weekend after attacking an Obama aide for the same offense. "Sarah Palin knows that it's okay to call someone a retard if like rush you clearly don't mean it which is why we should all come to her defense and say: Sarah Palin is a fucking retard," Colbert quipped. Palin's son, Trig, has Down Syndrome. She had criticized Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel for telling liberal activists that a political strategy was "fucking retarded" during a private meeting in the ...
O’Reilly helping to destroy their co-opted creation: Some tea partiers ‘nuts, loons, out of their minds’
By Sahil Kapur Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 -- 9:29 am Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly is better known for picking fights with liberals, but on Monday he turned his combative drive toward an unsuspecting crowd: teabaggers. "Some of these tea parties are nuts," O'Reilly told Fox News anchor Brit Hume. "They're crazy." Hume was silent, and O'Reilly added that Fox News' Jesse Waters, who attended the high-profile Tea Party Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, "puts the number at about 10 percent, that are just loons, out of their minds." O'Reilly's words came in response to Hume's suggestion that there are "very few really favorable stories about ...
