All that after the CIA was repeatedly told to go to hell by Bush and his Cabinet when they tried to raise all hell about the intel they had from multiple sources that an attack using airplanes within the US targeting the WTC was imminent.

It's almost like our own Government wanted it to happen so they could use an excuse to trot out the "PATRIOT" Act and step up their War on Civil Liberties when Bush Sr's plan to suspend the Constitution for the War on Drugs didn't gain much support. But that would **never** happen and anyone that thinks so is an Alex Jones loving crackpot looney.

Oh c'mon, figuring out how to use a clip doesn't take that much extra IQ

Your Honor, this person of interest may have hard drives or thumb drives, and these types of storage devices are commonly used to store CHILD PORNOGRAPHY OHHHH GOD THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!! WHY WONT YOU PROTECT THE BABY JESUS??????"

Warrant granted -- get those scumbags. And I wont cry if they die before seeing a jail cell!

Dear Mr. Obama, we're sorry to inform you that our current Data Centers are at maximum capacity storing the complete browsing history and Porn Site usage of all American Tax Payers and cannot accommodate tracking medical app usage in the iTunes or Google Play App Store. Perhaps if you could be so kind as to take a shit on and then wipe your ass with the Constitution on Fox Cable News and proclaim this a Nation of God under Martial Law, we could come to an agreeable compromise.

That joke Zissou'd right over your head...

Fuck /. -- it removed the negative characters from my post WTF? Those numbers should read -352 F and -70 F. Why it stripped out the "" I do not know.

Considering the article states that this planet has an estimated surface temperature of 352 Fahrenheit, it would make Hoth seem like a tropical resort, considering warm blooded animals like Tauntauns were able to survive on the surface. Hoth would have been more like the Antarctic, around 70 Fahrenheit by comparison.

We wont honor those bogus treaties!

*Regulator hand Comcast a grimy, well used jar of Vaseline®* Them Tax Payers tend to clench up when you shove it in, so dab some of that on your rod and it's like riding a slip n' slide

But so far, the only criminals using encryption are the smart ones who take precautions not to even become suspects in the first place. And just because the authorities were stymied by encryption, or that the suspects used encryption does not mean that the suspects were actually guilty of any crime. Personally, I'd much rather a few crimes go unsolved than live in an authoritarian Police State.

Seems they could have simply created some "molds" with a some 2x4s and a couple plywood sheets and just dumped the cement formula in to make the individual walls instead of this elaborate process. How has the process of making a cement slab been improved by using an expensive industrial grade 3D printer? Smells like "we did it because we could" rather than "doing it because you should".

Actually, they were Jews and considering they wrote about their GENOCIDE OF THE CANAANITES in their little book and are gleefully enacting Genocide of Canaan 2.0, plenty have died. Now be sure to show your sorrow for the suffering of the Jews at the Holocaust museum near you.

Ever consider the fact that Bigfoot, werewolves and ghosts have the right NOT to be surveiled? I for one have encountered ghosts and aliens on a pretty regular basis, but unlike some people around here *cough*glassholes*cough* I respect their right to privacy and to not be recorded by my camera phone and posted to youtube.

It's getting to the point where the US Citizenry will need to decide to accept to be held captive to the interests of a Corporate Oligarchy or go into active revolt against a Government that no longer sees them as actual citizens, but as the chattel of the "true citizens", the Corporate Personhoods of the Fortune 500. ObamaCare was the first step in forcing every American to buy goods and services from Corporate Cartels. Having Corporate Lobbyists oversee and regulate the industries meant to protect the American public from the Corporations is only a logical step on the way to a truly Captive Audience envisioned for the Future American Free Market Surveillance State.

On one hand you sardonically belittle those who value their freedoms, on the other, your signature cites Eisenhower, one of the the last Presidents to truly care about the welfare and freedom of the people over Political and Corporate interests. Make up your fucking mind
