Robots That Kill For America
We are surrounded by robots, from automated dogs and vacuum cleaners at home to assistants in operating rooms and on the factory floor. The most influential (and the greatest number) of these robots, however, are in a place few Americans see: the battlefield. More than anything, robots are changing the way war works.
The Corporate ‘Person’
No ‘person’ can own another ‘person’ in the United States. Therefore, if a corporation IS a legal ‘person’ under the protection and jurisdiction of The Constitution, doesn’t that mean that they can’t be owned, and that they cannot own other ‘persons’ (i.e. – other corporations). If The Constitution applies to the Corporate ‘person’, doesn’t that mean that the WHOLE Constitution applies to them?

Rights groups hammer Obama for reviving military trials
Human rights groups reacted with anger and disappointment Friday to President Barack Obama's revival of special military trials of terror suspects, saying the system was flawed beyond repair.
In announcing the return of the military commission system devised by former President George W. Bush, Obama also proposed reforms that he said would restore them "as a legitimate forum for prosecution, while bringing them in line with the rule of law."
But human rights organizations almost in unison called it a bad idea, insisting that even with changes the special military tribunals would provide substandard justice and meet with delays and legal challenges.

At a town meeting in New Mexico Obama insisted that "it's going to require some tough choices" to cut entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, but that is what he is committed to doing.

THE BANKERS’ BANK
By Sheldon Richman

Quantitative Rising Demand for Silver
By The Mogambo Guru

With a world population of 3 billion, there was a per-capita amount of 3 ounces for each of the world’s citizens. Today, 50 years later, there is a per capita amount of silver of 0.15 of an ounce remaining (1 billion ounces divided by a 6.8 billion population).”
Tenth Amendment Showdown: La Boétie vs. Machiavelli
By John Bowman
One of the very few things that virtually everyone in America will agree on is a substantial degree of dissatisfaction with the state of political affairs. In particular, I think everyone understands that we, as a nation, somehow got on the wrong track, even without an understanding of why that is, or, worse, if one believes or repeats the perceived reasons from major political party mouthpieces

Obama Picks Up Where Bush Left Off - From My Lai to Bala Baluk

Death to undesirables: Brazil's murder capital
With year-round sun and some of Brazil's best beaches, Recife draws a million foreign tourists a year, many of them on new direct flights from Britain and the rest of Europe. It seems odd then to find an electronic sign in the middle of the city which records the daily murder toll. But behind the narrow stretch of beach restaurants and high-rise apartments shown in the tourist brochures lies a violent city. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in Recife in the past year – up to 12 murders a day - making it Brazil's murder capital. Incredibly many of those who are doing the killing are the police.
