The eyes of Heisenberg are upon us.

Perhaps they did. Do you seriously think that: 1. they'd let /. know and that B. they'd tell Syria when they have a free pass?

Hell just vote for Mit then we can all wear magic underwear to protect us from satan and terrorists.

The Australian government found a terrorist threat in an ancient patch of seagrass. In a statement to the media the Secretary of Defense stated: "We do not know where this seagrass comes from, it has no official documentation. It is not a recodnised form of sentient life so we eradicated it." The seagrass was promptly dispatched by pouring 30,000 barrels of crude oil over it supplied by Haliburton.

Well they're a bit higher up the food chain. Since they make the conflicts their contracted to solve they write many of their own policies. No doubt they'll just rewrite this one as well. No sense in upgrading the tech when paper is quicker to upgrade. Now that they've bought the world court system and convinced us all that wikileaks is a terrorist cell they don't have to worry about people reading their email or docs.

I had the "privilege" of going through the Sydney international hub quite a few times over the past 5 years. I'm a US citizen. I've been to Australia quite a few times the first of which was 1989. Back then I noticed that my accent and demeanor got me a lot of very friendly greetings, people assumed I was Canadian. I learned it was in my interest to not correct them.

Flying in and out of Sydney of late I noticed that a large number of Non-Aussies were getting pulled from the international line for "random" security pat downs. In each case the guards were very verbal about letting us know it was only random. But I don't think so. I had a 3 hr layover on one flight so I parked myself up in the food court which has a perfect view of the security check points for this area. And in 2 hrs of watching I never once saw an Aussie get a random pat down on an international flight. On the return flight I had the same layover and repeated my observation with the exact results. I even went so far as to get prepped for the patdown while in line. When they pulled me I was ready and the guard asked me why. I said: "You pull all the foreigners out, so I just wanted to speed this up." He protested saying it was random and I told him random does not equal 100%.

Time and time again I've been told by Aussie and Kiwi friends that the US military companies are in bed with the Aussie gov't and are selling paranoia at at premium. This news only solidifies that for me and confirms that I'll never return to Oz again. I just hope that Aotearoa remains a bastion of pacific sanity.

My thoughts too. Since Margaret Mead had shown that CJ could be transmitted by eating someone's brain in New Guinea in the 1950's.

I've written to Namecheap and Netsol asking that they shutdown for 24hrs as well. Instead of just trying to make a few hours of inconvenience I think it would be prudent to make a day of utter chaos. We either pay now in 24hrs or pay later for the rest of our lives. Google et al should shut down ALL services for the day. These companies should inform their users that on Day X everything goes black and this is the reason why. There's been a lot of wind in the last year with the Occupy camp and Anonymous. But a blackout day would be a very effective way to let the entire world know how we've all come to rely on these services NOT being interrupted.

Of course they'll kill them. Since Israel is ALWAYS the victim (sic) and the only way they can enact justice is to butcher the criminal and his family and his friends and his friend's families. And rightfully so. All those people were either active participants in the crime or had committed thought crime by inaction. They all deserve the same retribution. It's what Israel does best. I think we should send them more money because they are such a victim all the time they need more weapons.
