Step away from political party boundaries and ask yourself of the relevance this speech has on society today. Have we been steered away from the issues. Did this speech fall on deaf ears. Have we failed ourselves or has our government failed us. Some of you may think nothing at all has failed and everything is just honky dory! Well if you feel that way and visited the area I was in last night and have an ounce of humanity in you, you wouldn't feel that way.

Heat isn't the only problem or perk (depending on your taste) that our sun is good for. Seems the science world is in a buzz; as well as the conspiracy world, with talk of 2012/13 dooms day scenario which forcasts a solar storm which is sure to reek havoc on our planet! Don't be alarmed, just be informed! Here's what ABC News had say about it:

The sun is getting ready to ramp up its activity, and when it does we could be in for some real trouble, scientists say. The sun's activity, which follows 11-year cycles, will experience its next peak in 2013.

A solar storm of the strongest variety could cause 20 times more economic damage than Hurricane Katrina , said a 2008 National Academy of Sciences report on space weather.

Though the odds of a such a storm are relatively small, such an occurrence could create severe weather in the sun's outer atmosphere, knocking out much of the country's power grid, incapacitating navigational systems and jeopardizing spacecraft, scientists say.

More than a million people could go without power, the distribution of drinkable water could be disrupted and transportation, communication and banking systems could be upset, the report said.

To prepare for the activity, scientists from NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Science Foundation and other agencies met earlier this week for discussions at a forum in Washington, D.C. CONTINUE READING....

Feels like something real disastrous can come of this! When will humans be satisfied! Oh I know... When they destroy themselves!! Check out this story where scientist use a Major Laser (and not the kind with Diplo in it) to recreate a Celestial star.

Livermore, California (CNN) -- Scientists at a government lab here are trying to use the world's largest laser -- it's the size of three football fields -- to set off a nuclear reaction so intense that it will make a star bloom on the surface of the Earth.

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's formula for cooking up a sun on the ground may sound like it's stolen from the plot of an "Austin Powers" movie. But it's no Hollywood fantasy: The ambitious experiment will be tried for real, and for the first time, late this summer.

If they're successful, the scientists hope to solve the global energy crisis by harnessing the energy generated by the mini-star.

The lab's venture has doubters, to be sure. Nuclear fusion, the type of high-energy reaction the California researchers hope to produce, has been a scientific pipe dream for at least a half-century. It's been pitched as a miracle power source. But it hasn't yielded many results.

To make matters worse, the U.S. Government Accountability Office this month released an audit of the lab's work that cites delays and mismanagement as reasons it's unlikely the scientists will create a fusion reaction this year.

But researchers in Livermore, about an hour's drive east of San Francisco, say it's not a matter of if but when their laser-saves-the-Earth experiment will be proved successful.

"We have a very high confidence that we will be able to ignite the target within the next two years," thus proving that controlled fusion is possible, said Bruno Van Wonterghem, a manager of the project, which is called the National Ignition Facility.

That would put the lab a step closer to "our big dream," he said, which is "to solve the energy problems of the world." CONTINUE READING...

Los Angeles Times: First, it was the Arizona law that has spurred some California Democrats to call for a boycott of the state. Now, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Alpine) says the federal government should deport U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants.

"Would you support deportation of natural-born American citizens that are the children of illegal aliens," Hunter was asked. "I would have to, yes," Hunter said. "... We simply cannot afford what we're doing right now," he said. "... It takes more than just walking across the border to become an American citizen. It's what's in our souls. ..."

Hunter made his comments at a "tea party" rally in the San Diego County city of Ramona over the weekend. You can see a video of his remarks below.

So...you like to twitter about your sex life, your thug life or maybe about your government conspiracies. Well you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, im telling you why...and its not Satna Clause watching its the Library of Congress in other words the United States Government! Check out this report from TheNextWeb.com:

Twitter has announced that it is to allow the largest library in the world, the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., to maintain an archive of every tweet ever posted.

Six months after they are posted, tweets will made available to the library for non-commercial research, display and preservation.

It’s great to hear that Twitter now has an official archive, maintained by a third party. Never before has there been such a vast silo of people’s thoughts and opinions from around the world, tied to a particular time (and more recently place) as there is in the complete Twitter timeline. It’s historically significant and well worth preserving. However, is the Library of Congress the best institution to look after it?

As a federal institution, the Library of Congress is owned by the United States of America. As such, the official Twitter archive will belong to the USA. While this makes sense; Twitter is an American company after all, the Twitter timeline itself, I’d argue, is actually the property of the whole world.

People throughout the world have poured their hearts and souls into Twitter over the past four years. It’s one thing for all those tweets to belong to Twitter, the company responsible for the service, but for them to be handed over in bulk to, essentially, the US government will surely jar with many people’s feelings about what’s right.

Look out Cyber Thugs the Feds are going deep cover to get ya! So if you thought you were about to meet a hottie off Facebook at the club, think again! Read this article from AOL:

WASHINGTON (March 2010) -- A Justice Department document asks the simple question: Why Go Undercover on Facebook, MySpace, etc.?

Then it goes on to explain: "Communicate with suspects/targets" ... "gain access to non-public info" ... "map social relationships/networks."

The document, part of a Justice Department PowerPoint presentation, demonstrates how some federal and local law enforcement agents are quietly creating fictitious accounts on social networks like Facebook and MySpace to get dirt on suspected criminals. The presentation recently surfaced in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit in a San Francisco federal court.

"This is just the way people meet these days -- electronically," James Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, told AOL News. "It wouldn't be any different than calling someone on the phone, say, in an undercover capacity. If we can meet them on Facebook by creating a fictitious account, that's great. "

Even so, the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco filed the lawsuit in December against about a half a dozen federal agencies to create a public dialogue on the matter and make sure agencies have guidelines for agents, according to Marcia Hofmann, a senior staff attorney for the foundation. The Justice Department, Homeland Security, Treasury, the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence are included in the suit.

Some agencies don't readily appear to have guidelines and some have offered to produce them in coming months to satisfy the demands in the lawsuit, according to Hofmann.

"This on one hand is a very clever use of these tools, but it makes you wonder when enterprising agents come up with these ideas, what is appropriate and what is not," she said. "I don't want to speculate as to what they do and they don't do. I do think there should be a public debate whether it's ethically sound or not. There should be some transparency." Initially, social networks like MySpace, which first surfaced in 2003, and Facebook, which launched in 2004, and Twitter which arrived in 2006, were simply for hip high school and college-aged kids. As social media's popularity soared, law enforcement began to realize that there was more to these networks than idle gossip and photos of cats, dogs, proms and beer parties. CONTINUE READING....

Don't take my word for it, read the following article from Popsci.com:

Scientists have already created mini-cyborgs out of living cells and semiconductor materials, but now biological cells can also contain tiny silicon chips. Those silicon chips could become future intracellular sensors that monitor microscopic activities, deliver drugs to target cells or even repair cell structures, according to Nanowerk.

Experiments found that living human cells can ingest or receive injections of silicon chips and continue functioning as usual for the most part. More than 90 percent of chip-containing HeLa cells -- the first immortal human cell line derived from a poor, cancer-stricken woman – still survived a week after receiving their silicon loads.

Other studies have tested nanoparticles inside living cells. But silicon chips allow for much easier integration of electronics and mechanical parts, say scientists at the Instituto de Microelectrónica de Barcelona in Spain.

The study published in the aptly-named journal Small opens the doors for possibly putting microprocessors and other silicon-based devices inside cells. That could lead to promising developments for both micro-computing and medicine.

It may also represent a small step toward fulfilling several of the Pentagon's wishes set forth by DARPA, including engineering immortal controllable synthetic beings with genetic kill-switches. Maybe those mad science dreamers need to think smaller than cyborg beetles. CONTINUE READING...

Are you ready to be forced to have something injected in you that you truly have no idea what it is. Well that's what the GOV is about to propose and in some states have already started! Your probably asking yourself: how can they make me? Easy, if you dont have the shot or at least proof of taking it, you dont work, your not allowed to go to school and who knows maybe you wont be allowed to fly the not so friendly skies! Talk about population control!!! Here is the story about it in USA TODAY:

A government panel is now recommending that virtually all Americans get a flu shot each year, starting this fall.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices had gradually been expanding its recommendation for flu shots — 85% of Americans were already included.

On Wednesday, the panel voted to recommend a seasonal flu vaccination for everyone except babies younger than 6 months and those with egg allergies or other unusual conditions.

The panel's recommendation now goes to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC usually follows the panel's advice and spreads the message to doctors and hospitals across the country. "Now no one should say 'Should I or shouldn't I?'" said Dr. Anthony Fiore, a CDC flu specialist. CDC vaccination recommendations tend to be influential with the doctors who give the shots and the health insurers who pay for them. Flu shots are already recommended for 85% of the U.S. public, including pregnant women, children older than 6 months, adults 50 and older, people with certain chronic health conditions, health care workers and those who take care of people in a recommended group. The only people who weren't specifically included were healthy people ages 19 to 49 who don't have close contact with anyone at risk of flu and its complications.

For those that don't know a man crashed a small plane into the a Texas IRS office. At first the reports were that the crash was an accident, but the crash was no accident. Read the smokinggun story along with the suicide not left behind by the man whom piloted the plane into the building:

FEBRUARY 18--The man suspected of intentionally crashing an airplane into a Texas office building today appears to have posted a lengthy online diatribe attacking the Internal Revenue Service and declaring that, "I know I'm hardly the first one to decide I have had all I can stand." The six-page manifesto, which you'll find below, is dated "2/18/10" and is signed "Joe Stack (1956-2010)." Andrew Joseph Stack, 53, has been identified as the man who flew a small plane into an Austin building housing IRS offices. The statement was uploaded to the front page of a web site that was registered in 2003 by a Joe Stack, who listed an address in San Marcos, Texas, which is about 35 miles south of Austin. The online posting is titled "Well Mr. Big Brother IRS man... take my pound of flesh and sleep well." Cached versions of Stack's web site, which described his software development consulting business, noted that he founded the firm in southern California in 1983, and eventually relocated to the Austin area to "lend a hand to the growing high technology industry in South-Central Texas." Stack, who has played bass in an Austin band, is pictured above. Alex Melen, whose firm hosts Stack's site, told TSG that Stack last changed his web site this morning at 10:12 AM (Eastern). His Piper Cherokee crashed into the Austin building at around 11:00 AM (Eastern). Until Stack uploaded his suicide note, his site consisted of a handful of pages describing his business, Embedded Art, and its history. A screen grab of the previous front page of Stack's site, which he backed up Tuesday afternoon, can be seen here. Melen said that Stack paid his annual hosting fee with a credit card, and last year changed his billing address from San Marcos to an address on North Mopack Expressway in Austin. Prior to speaking with TSG, Melen said he had been contacted by FBI agents in Austin and New Jersey, where his hosting business is located. At 2:40 PM today, Melen deleted Stack's web site at embeddedart.com. He replaced it with a statement noting that, "This web site has been taken offline due to the sensitive nature of the events that transpired in Texas this morning and in compliance with a request from the FBI."

As my peoples !Mayday! would say - "The Future is Now". Do trust I have a lot more to say on this story but I am currently on the road and proccupied. If I am still inspired I will update this post with my thoughts and opinion on this technology and our governments plans for it. Till then.... Rodger and out!

Russia Today Report: For the first time the U.S. military has shot down a ballistic missile with an airbourne laser beam. The experiment, conducted off the California coast, was to demonstrate the future of defence technology. From the moment the missile was launched, it took the jumbo-jet mounted laser, just two minutes to destroy. The revolutionary use of laser beams is seen as extremely attractive in missile defense, as it has the potential to attack multiple targets at the speed of light, and is far cheaper than current systems.
