FBI blasts Apple, Google for locking police out of phones
Via avordvet
FBI Director James B. Comey sharply criticized Apple and Google on Thursday for developing forms of smartphone encryption so secure that law enforcement officials cannot easily gain access to information stored on the devices — even when they have valid search warrants.
His comments were the most forceful yet from a top government official but echo a chorus of denunciation from law enforcement officials nationwide. Police have said that the ability to search photos, messages and Web histories on smartphones is essential to solving a range of serious crimes, including murder, child pornography and attempted terrorist attacks.

Raw Imperialism Run Amok
Before
the Yugoslavian escapade with Bill Clinton, General Wesley Clark had
experience with incinerating civilians while commander at Fort Hood,
Texas in 1993. The tank assault on the Branch Davidian compound had his
military imprint on it, as well as “the utter disregard for the lives
of innocent men, women and children” within. Bernhard Thuersam
Raw Imperialism Run Amok
“Regular
readers of this column are acquainted with the exact terms of the
Rambouillet “peace” accords, which Serbia refused to sign, and for which
reason it got bombed. The details of this American-sponsored plan are
still unfit to print in the “mainstream” media in the United States, but
the cat is out of the bag in Europe.
In Britain, John Pilger was the first to blow the whistle (New Statesman, May 17 [1999]:
“Anyone
scrutinizing the Rambouillet document is left in little doubt that the
excuses given for the subsequent bombing were fabricated. The
peace-negotiations were stage-managed, and the Serbs were told:
“surrender and be occupied, or don’t surrender and be destroyed . . . Of
all the Hitler and Nazi analogies that have peppered the West’s
propaganda, one is never mentioned – Hitler’s proposal in 1938 to
[Chamberlain], that Germany occupy Czechoslovakia because ethnic Germans
there had been “tortured,” “forced to flee the country,” and “prevented
from realizing the right of nations to self-determination.” As a cover
for German expansion, Hitler was laying the basis for “humanitarian
intervention,” whose fraudulence was no greater than NATO’s cover for
its own worldwide expansion.
On
the subject of [the] Nuremburg [trials and their comparison to the
Serbian situation], the last surviving prosecutor from that war-crimes
trial, Walter J. Rockler, strongly condemned [General Wesley] Clark’s
and [Bill] Clinton’s war as illegal and immoral (Chicago Tribune, May 10):
“The
planning and launching of this war by the president heightens the abuse
and undermining of the war-making authority under the Constitution. (It
seems to be accepted that the president can order his personal army to
attack any country he pleases). [The] attack on Yugoslavia constitutes
the most brazen international aggression since the Nazi’s attacked
Poland to prevent “Polish atrocities” against Germans. The United
States has discarded any pretentions to international legality and
decency, and embarked on a course of raw imperialism run amok . . .
[W]hen we, the self-anointed rulers of the planet, issue an ultimatum to
another country, it is “surrender or die.”
(Signs of the Times, Chronicles, August 1999, excerpts pp. 26-27)
FBI probing suspect's recent conversion to Islam in Oklahoma beheading
FBI officials are reportedly investigating a beheading at an Oklahoma food distribution center after co-workers said the suspect tried to convert them to Islam after his recent conversion.
The alleged suspect, Alton Nolen, 30, was recently fired from Vaughan Foods in Moore prior to Thursday’s attack. Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis told KFOR that Nolen drove to the front of the business and struck a vehicle before walking inside. He then attacked Colleen Hufford, 54, stabbing her several times before severing her head. He also stabbed another woman at the plant, 43-year-old Traci Johnson.

US Homeland Security moves to tackle climate change risks
On 25 September 1975 "scientists" first reported that Freon gas from aerosol spray were destroying the ozone layer. Forty years later, after billions of dollars spent to convert from efficient Freon to less efficient refrigerants, the ozone layer is still there and nobody has died of sunburn. Funny, they don't talk about the ozone layer anymore. For more on the wonders of the environmental movement, order the expose I wrote with Larry Abraham 20 years ago, The Greening. You'll never understand what a hoax the environmental movement really is until you read this. http://store.the-moneychanger.

Should be a parody.
"Increasingly, we've moved not only from a security focus to a resiliency focus," said Caitlin Durkovich, assistant secretary for infrastructure protection at Homeland Security, an agency better known for its fight to curb terrorist threats.
