Experts tell the Times her hiring sends “a strong signal that [the FTC is] prepared to take the Internet giant to court.”
According to Streitfeld and Wyatt, the government's concern with Google is that “Google has manipulated its search results, making it less likely that competing companies or products appear at the top of a results page.”
Phi Beta Iota: Google is light years ahead of any government, and those who think Google search is even remotely vulnerable to government intervention have no clue as to either Google's strength, or governmental ignorance. We have been calling for a center for computational mathematics for years now, but governments would rather be ignorant and unethical than effective. Yes Google has programmable search engines and yes, Google is corrupt to the bone at the top (very much like the US Government, 80-90% good people trapped in a bad system). It is not possible to understand Google without reading The Google Trilogy by Stephen Arnold.
A member of Afghanistan's elite special forces—a group that is supposed to be rigorously vetted—shot and killed an American mentor and his translator at a US military base Wednesday, before being gunned down in turn by US soldiers, Reuters reports. Another Afghan special forces soldier was killed in the crossfire as well. The Taliban immediately claimed responsibility for the shooting, but according to one Afghan general it took place “after a verbal conflict.”
Phi Beta Iota: Afghanistan has been a study in legalized crime. The USA has trained, equipped, and organized both sides for the past decade, while simultaneously taking Afghanistan opium processed into #4 heroin in Pakistan (by the Pakistani military) from 0 to 95% of the world's supply. Talk about hat tricks for the financial crime families behind the two political parties in the USA for whom no insanity is inconceivable. In comparison the 200+ other illegimate “small wars,” Afghanistan is a study in “optimal” government-induced global crime.
As much as I love all that it represents, Occupy is struggling. The dirty little secret of Occupy is that it is moderately organized in NYC, Chicago, Boston, and Oakland – and a mob everywhere else. The “general strike” called for 1 May is just around the corner, and the truth be told, Occupy may be about to implode for lack of leadership, focus, and financial attractiveness to the non-Occupy majority that actually shares Occupy’s anger and disdain for corruption across the public and private sectors. What I offer in this call to arms is a simple game plan that will allow Occupy to raise one billion dollars if not more, to cleanse the temples of government, and to restore the Republic.

I call on all citizens of the United States of America to coalesce around the spirit of outrage and patriotism that Occupy and the Tea Party represent. I present seven specific actions we can all take such that in November 2012 we elect an honest President and an honest Congress. Anyman can be president because all of us will be the coalition, the congress, and the committee of the whole.
This is a legal, ethical, non-violent call to arms.
In my opinion (more about me at http://tinyurl.com/Steele2012) NOTHING Ron Paul accomplishes from WITHIN the two-party tyranny will matter. Anyone believing that is simply out of touch with reality.
A brokered convention is NOT going to EMPOWER Ron Paul and the Paulistas UNLESS the ground work is laid now–that includes all of the action items below. Anything less is Ron Paul playing dead. IMHO.
No institution on planet Earth – no matter how allegedly “respectable” – seems exempt from lies, fraud, graft, corruption, and so on, and all of them are highly intent on exterminating the “whistleblowers” within them, even the Catholic Church:
“Vatican staffers who have been leaking embarrassing letters about corruption and nepotism inside the tiny city state are to be hunted down by a crack squad of cardinals led by a senior member of the religious group Opus Dei.
Irritated by the anonymous release of documents to the press this year, Pope Benedict has named Cardinal Julian Herranz, 82, to lead a three-man team which will haul in staffers for questioning and rifle through files until they catch the perpetrators of what has been dubbed “Vatileaks”.
A short statement printed on Thursday on the front page of the Vatican's daily newspaper warned the team had a full “pontifical mandate” to “shed complete light” on the whistle blowers, who have lifted the lid on alleged theft and false accounting.”
Phi Beta Iota: First off, whistleblowers are becoming more active in t he 21st Century — not only is a “public mind” coming alive with integral consciousness and integrity but the Internet is making it very very easy to do secure whistleblowing. The Catholic Church — as with any “institution” that thinks it is above all evolved standards of human decency, has been corrupt since the myths took over. Priests are required to be celibate for one reason and one reason only: to enable the Church to avoid family and survivor benefits. Child molestation and other perversions are an “acceptable” alternative to this corrupt mind-set. The Church has been financially corrupt since time immemorial. We applaud the whistleblowers — they are doing God's work against venal betrayers of the public trust.
When it comes the the elites' population reduction/eugenics agenda, the beat just keeps going on. More news related to this agenda seems to be coming out every week. Is there something in the air? Are the elite and their scientist shills panicking, even if ever so slightly?
The UN Agenda 21 calls for an 85% reduction in human population in the near future, a figure unobtainable by contraceptives and attrition, even with massive levels of abortion and euthanasia. “Obamacare” is a really a “softkill” program that openly intends to deny the elderly medical services to increase mortality rates.
But that will not be enough. Elitists will starve, poison, infect, and outright murder billions more to eliminate us. The elite, the royal families and billionaires, do not need massive labor forces or military ranks in this modern age of computers and robotics. They see “We the People” as a overhead to be written off, an obsolete management problem. They can meet their needs with a much smaller cadre of technological servants and robots. They don’t need to worry about managing billions of people’s wants and needs if we are dead. And when we are gone, they can have the whole planet to themselves with vast nature preserves and parks to enjoy. They envision living in a Star Trek world where elite families live in high tech luxury with great power on a low population planet where slave camps are conveniently out of sight, and the ground is filled with bones! This is the Royal Society goal!”
The Royal Society, an organisation made up of renowned eco-fascists and depopulation fanatics, has released a “major report” calling for the “stabilization” of global population and reductions in consumption in developed countries.
The report is the unsurprising result of a 21 month “objective” study on human population growth and its implications for social and economic development.
Phi Beta Iota: In the absence of intelligence with integrity, governments promote what they are paid to promote, mindful that they only could what they are paid personally in bribes, not the fact that the public is funding the government. A massive global tax revolt is inevitable. What is being done in our name is unaffordable, unethical, and down-right criminally negligent. The five billion poor have five billion brains, and that is the one inexhaustible resource on the planet. INTEGRITY is the path to self-governed population control, not eugenics, war, and plagues such as both Israel and North Korea have been working on. The secret US solutions for wiping out “dead” cities full of “useless eaters” (we do not make these terms up) can only be imagined in the context of a nightmare.
Interesting…..as pointed out in the article, most people defer to the eminence of the individual and not to the substance of the message…..and then there is the criminal obfuscation of Wall Street.
Johnny Carson was in top form, but the show could have bogged down if his guest had delved into subtleties or overly serious discussion. However, Ehrlich had the perfect solution. He took a piece of posterboard and wrote in large letters for the TV audience:
D = N * I
“In this equation,” he explained, “D stands for damage to the environment, N stands for the number of people, and I stands for the impact of each person on the environment. This equation shows that the more people, the more pollution. We cannot control pollution without controlling the number of people.”
Johnny Carson looked at the equation, scratched his head, made a remark about never having been good at math, and commented that it all looked quite impressive.
