Brady Bashing Reaches All-Time High As Ex-Players Slam Tom's Take on Deflategate

Deflategate theory: What if Pats inflated balls in warm environment?

Phi Beta Iota: All of our safety nets — all the checks and balances — are gone. Each of the eight “tribes” fosters a culture of cheating — academia, civil society (including labor unions, religions and sporting teams), commerce, government, law enforcement, media, military, non-government/non-profit.

6 Threats, 6 Changes, & A Brave New World: Intel Chief Vickers

WASHINGTON: There’s no one thing that keeps the Pentagon’s chief of intelligence up at night. There’s half-a-dozen things — terrorism, cybersecurity, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and China — but Mike Vickers has a six-point plan to counter them.

Owl: For Military, Police, 1% – the Enemy is You

07 Other Atrocities, Corruption, Government, IO Impotency, Law Enforcement, Military

The so-called “Internet of things” seems to mean a lot of things. But for the government, which executes the orders of the 1% of the 1%, it's primary value is to spy:

“As Daniel Taylor, of Old Thinker News, points out, the militarization and weaponization of the digital space has been a long time coming, and it might mutate into a conflict wide enough to involve you and your online activities.

Utility 3.0: How to Democratize Energy in the U.S.

As the U.S. turns to renewable energy, the question remains: who will benefit?

Among those concerned with the United States' energy future—including, increasingly, the utility companies themselves—the business model known as “Utility 2.0” appears as a beacon of hope. Utility 2.0 addresses the concerns of both energy watchdogs and conventional electricity utilities by offering the latter financial incentives to adopt greener, more flexible infrastructure. But while this new paradigm presents solutions to many of the problems associated with centralized, fossil fuel-reliant power grids, some argue that it does not go far enough.

SchwartzReport: Domestic Population Threat — Muslims Have More Babies and Do Not Assimilate

11 Society, Corruption, Government

In terms of Europe where nations such a France, U.K. and Germany have huge unassimilated minorities the fact that the Muslim minority has a birth rate of 4.5 children per couple while the indigenous Europeans are below the sustainable threshold of 1.85 live births (or 2.1 by some calculation). Over time that means the percentage of the population that is not assimilated increases dramatically, while the percentage of native Europeans declines. In the U.S. where assimilation is far better this disparity still has consequences. It plays out as Caucasians become a smaller and smaller portion of the total population.
