He is clearly an Open Source Specialist, whatever that means.

Come on man, really? Its kind of taking off now.

Why waste one of three bombs in the hope that a government that has committed itself to fight to the death will suddenly see reason?

Keep in mind that it wasn't until the U.S. dropped the SECOND bomb that the Japanese surrendered. The first attack didn't even elicit a response. This proves that a demonstration or attack on a non-mainland target would almost certainly have been pointless.

Also, what is so special about an atomic bomb really? Neither Hiroshima nor Nagaski hold the record for civilian casualties in a WWII air raid.

The gods worshipped in India (and everywhere else) can go fuck themselves.

There is zero evidence to back up the claim that this was done for the purposes of testing. There is however overwhelming evidence that this was done for military purposes.

Actually Japan had a standing order to kill all Allied POWs in the event of an invasion of the mainland. About 400,000 people, many of them civilians. The U.S. new about it through the broken Japanese codes. Given this information, the a-bombs made even more sense.

Taken individually these indicators are clearly absurd. However taken as a whole this is a very reasonable list. Its not like the FBI made a flyer saying "Anyone that protects their privacy is a terrorist", and I don't think it is reasonable to interpret this list that way.

If someone is collaborating with others to go un-seen, reading about how to make bombs, obsessing over recent terrorist attacks and studying the blue prints for large public venues over TOR all while paying for everything with CCs in a different name, then yeah they may very well be a terrorist. and probably should get some attention from law enforcement.

So I should instead support conservatives that expand governments power to spy and detain citizens and gut the separation of church and state?

I don't see either side as having clean hands when it comes to respecting the constraints imposed on them by the constitution.

The loans were probably not the cause, rather it was probably a combination CDO/CDS and the rating agencies. Without debt securitization the defaults would have had a much much smaller impact on the financial system. Thanks to debt securitization the impact of wide scale defaults rippled throughout the world.

Ultimately this points to the rating agencies doesn't it? It was their ratings that turned pig shit into AAA gold and exposed the whole system to colosal risk. They were either corrupt or colossally stupid.

This industry is actively trying to undermine democracy, destroy individual property rights and trampel everyday civil liberties.

The people who give money to Sony and other RIAA/MPAA groups are part of the problem. They shouldn't be targeted, but any harms they derive from being customers of Sony are their own damn fault.

Look, if the mafia sets up shop in your neighborhood but you choose to work with them, don't complain if you get hurt when the rest of the community fights back.
