About a third of American adults are considered obese, having a Body Mass Index greater than 30 (BMI is calculated using height and weight), and 18% of American teenagers are considered obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In 2010, a group of retired military leaders warned that 27% of young adults (a total of nine million), ages 17 to 24, are unfit for service because they are too fat. “This is a national security issue,” a spokesman for the group said. “We are having difficulty recruiting from the civilian population.”

Stephen E. Arnold: LinkedIn Censorship — Blocking Post on The Madness of Hillary Clinton

Commerce, Corruption, Cultural Intelligence, IO Impotency

Instance of the LinkedIn Blue Pencil

Steele says:

Yesterday I was censored by LinkedIn when I tried to post a story [by someone else] on “The Madness of Queen Hillary.” Coming as it does in the aftermath of Google manipulating both search and spam results in favor of Hillary Clinton, Facebook blocking YouTubes from Alex Jones, and Twitter censoring trending results associated with Hillary Clinton’s health, I have realized that the major social media enterprises have become part of a police state where the opinions of we “unredeemable deplorables” are easily censored.

Why I asked myself would LinkedIn censor a member’s essay about a campaign that is dominating the news cycle in just about every form of media I check out? I asked Steele this question, and he writes:

Eric Schmidt is on record as saying that he has the right and the ability to control “hate speech” online. The “digital innovators” in the White House are all committed to Hillary Clinton in part so they can keep their jobs and continue to play with new means of manipulating the information environment. This happened because the White House ignored my 1994 letter calling for major investments in the integrity and security of the cyber domain (and actually allowed NSA to gut what security existed, with the complicity of IT CEOs, for the convenience of our mass surveillance program), and because in the absence of legitimate oversight in the public interest, social media enterprises will trend toward the abuse of their power, much as banks and corporations have in the material world.

Sugar Industry Manipulated Heart Studies, Review Finds

A sugar industry group paid for studies that underplayed the role that added sugars play in heart disease, researchers reported Monday. Studies paid for by the lobbying group helped set the U.S. on a policy course that focused almost exclusively on fat as the main cause of heart disease, leaving out the considerable role that sugary foods play, the researchers said.

Mongoose: 5 Companies Own US IC

Commerce, Corruption, Government, Ineptitude, IO Impotency

5 Corporations Now Dominate Our Privatized Intelligence Industry

This unaccountable oligarchy of spies controls the information that guides our military and civilian leaders.

So here’s the bottom line: not only has intelligence been privatized to an unimaginable degree, but an unprecedented consolidation of corporate power inside US intelligence has left the country dangerously dependent on a handful of companies for its spying and surveillance needs.

Antechinus: Google Evil – Election Bias [Facebook & Twitter Also Evil — All Three Serve 1% Control Agenda]

Commerce, Corruption, Government, Idiocy

Harvard PhD Explains How Google Search Bias Could “Shift 3 Million Votes” In Upcoming Election

Because Google handles 90 percent of search in most countries and because many elections are very close, he estimates that the Search Engine Manipulation Effect has been determining the outcomes of upwards of 25 percent of the national elections in the world for several years now, with increasing impact each year. “The intention is clear,” said Lieberman. “Google is burying potential searches for terms that could have hurt Hillary Clinton in the primary elections over the past several months by manipulating recommendations on their site.”

Entire US voter registration record leaks (191 million)

I'm Chris Vickery. I know your phone number, address, date of birth, and more (if you're registered to vote in the US).I have recently downloaded voter registration records for 191 million Americans from a leaky database. I believe this is every registered voter in the entire country. To be very clear, this was not a hack. The mysterious, insecure database is currently configured for public access. No password or other authentication is required at all. Anyone with an internet connection can grab all 300+ gigabytes.
