The truth at any cost lowers all other costs — curated by former US spy Robert David Steele.
This is a very big step from the past, when insurance companies charged premiums based on big data risk, but nothing was done on the front line — among the fire fighters – because they did not have the same access to such tool. Another excellent useful story from BBC.

Big Flak For Big Sis and Homeland Security
Preston James
Veterans Today, 24 March 2013
Yep, finally there’s “incoming” over at Homeland Security, the New American Gestapo.
And it’s long overdue.
These folks have been out of control spying on and harassing law abiding Americans ever since the NeoCons created this “New American Gestapo”.
And DHS is one of the most grotesque USG agencies ever conceived, certainly a “house of horrors”.
Their illegitimate step child the TSA has been sexually molesting and harassing air travelers and needlessly destroying the domestic and international travel business.
And as if this wasn’t enough, it has been reported that serious sexual harassment has also occurred deep in the inner bowels of DHS.
According to the claims of recent major lawsuit (1) top DHS Management has sexually harassed male staff and temporarily moved their offices into the men’s lavatory.
Huh?
The following is a condensed version of the very excellent information contained on jimstonefreelance.com based on official records and evidence which cannot be silenced. The fact that even a large proportion of the truth movement has shunned this report proves how deep the conspiracy goes.
1. Photographs of Fukushima show Reactor 3 is completely missing, which means the press and anyone who has claimed anything about pressures, temperatures, containment, etc., at reactor 3 after March 14 is lying. Pictures of the destroyed facility of the vanished reactor prove that there was no actual quake damage to Japan and the original Japanese seismic charts prove there was no 9.0. The linked public records prove that the very real tsunami which destroyed everything in it's path could not have been natural.
DOD is circling the wagons to keep the F-35 propped up in the declining Pentagon budget. Importantly, as noted by a prime Lockheed mouthpiece offering his thankfulness for it, GAO's newest report on the F-35 offers a conclusion that the F-35 is on track for improvement–the data notwithstanding. In point of fact, what the GAO conclusion does show is that some long term negative–and management induced–trends have gone viral in the investigatory agency where I once worked. As a result, DOD has been allowed unseen influence on a GAO report. Skeptical? The latter half of a new piece at Foreign Policy explains.
The magazine's title for my article only off-handedly hints at the nature of the problem; it is not so much a “conspiracy” as the effects of an equal relationship between GAO and DOD. The piece is available at http://www.foreignpolicy.com/

Is there a government conspiracy to save the F-35?
BY WINSLOW WHEELER | MARCH 22, 2013
Until recently, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter had been having a pretty rough time.
In 2012, its estimated average “program acquisition unit cost” was reported to have doubled, from the $81 million per copy anticipated in 2001 to $161 million, flight tests revealed deficiencies in achieving the F-35's modest performance requirements, and scheduled full-rate production was delayed to 2019.
Like a car careening down a mountain road, we seem unable as a people and as a nation to gain control of our government and to make it serve national wellness instead of profit. Day after day these stories track the degradation of our quality of life.
Only mass demonstrations and mass voting is going to change this, and we seem to lack the political will as citizens to do either. We hate Congress, but most love their Congressperson, seeing no contradiction.
Monsanto's Death Grip on Your Food
FRITZ KREISS – Nation of Change
Our children are obese because of the “foods” they eat. They have diabetes because of the high fructose corn syrup. We have girls experiencing menarche at 9, and breast development at 10 because of the hormones they unwittingly absorb because of industrial animal husbandry. And now we are discovering a growing number of them are autistic. The list goes on an on, all resulting from a society that is structur! ed for maximum profit for the few.
CDC: One in 50 U.S. School Kids Has Autism
ABBY OHLHEISER – Slate
Ten years later after the start of the Iraq war, the neocons still don’t see the error of their ways. Mother Jones’ David Corn and author Ron Suskind join Hardball to discuss.
Highlights: Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Perle skewered in detail, airing their past words and their present insouciance. Cheney is called sadistic, all of them are called shameless. Hard-hitting. Bottom line: the 935 now-documented lies were deliberate, with the invasion of Iraq as the primary US military objective in the first Bush -Cheney Administration.
Phi Beta Iota: This is the single best 15 minute overview of the treason against the Republic by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Richard Perle, among others. Ron Susskind, perhaps the single best author on insider politics in the US Executive, is now lighting a fire in the public mind.
