MSNBC Cuts Away From Some Silly NSA Thing To Breaking Bieber News (Video)
Source: LibertyCrier.com
--Bieber fever swept through all the cable news networksThursday morning afflicting all who came in contact. In one particularly egregious case, MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell was in the middle of an interview with Congresswoman Jane Harman discussing the latest news developments on the government's NSA program — particularly, that the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board had found the surveillance program illegal.

Whistleblower: Google Chrome Can Listen To Your Conversations (w/ Video)
Source: Infowars.com
--As far back as 2006, we warned that computers would use in-built microphones to spy on users. We also revealed how digital cable boxes had embedded microphones that had the capability of recording conversations since the late 1990′s.
As we have previously highlighted, terms of agreement for both Android and iPhone apps now require users to agree to allow their microphone to be activated at any time without confirmation before they can download the app.
Facebook's term's of agreement also allow the social network giant to record your phone calls, read your phone's call log and "read data about contacts stored on your phone, including the frequency with which you've called, emailed or communicated in other ways with specific individuals."
We are now fully ensconced in a world that even George Orwell would have laughed off as inconceivable. Embedded microphones in everything from Xbox Kinect consoles to high-tech street lights that can record private conversations in real time represent the final nail in the coffin of privacy.

COMMENT: Hopefully somebody will verify that this "whistleblower video" is legit.
It sure would be irritating if this was a hoax aimed at discrediting "concerns" about this type of technology.

NH Jury Nullification Legislation
Source: FIJA.org
Michael Sylvia and Keith Michael report that as the 2014 legislative session kicks of in New Hampshire, there is a new jury nullification bill on the table in New Hampshire. HB 1452, introduced on 8 January 2014, is an act relative to jury nullification that "requires the court to give an instruction to the jury regarding jury nullification and requires the court to declare a mistrial if the instruction is not given to the jury." Its full text is available on the New Hampshire state website here. The main provisions of this bill are as follows:
I. The court shall give the following instruction to the jury in all criminal proceedings: "The concept of jury nullification is well established in this country. If the jury feels that the law under which the defendant is accused is unjust, or that exigent circumstances justified the actions of the accused, or for any reason which appeals to their logic or passion, the jury has the power to acquit, and the courts must abide by that decision."
II. A mistrial shall be declared in any case in which the court fails to give the jury instruction provided in paragraph I.

Bill Proposes Criminalizing Help to NSA, Turning Off Resources to Yakima Facility
Source:TenthAmendmentCenter.com
Practically speaking, the bill prohibits state and local agencies from providing any material support to the NSA within their jurisdiction. This includes barring government-owned utilities from providing water and electricity. It makes information gathered without a warrant by the NSA and shared with law enforcement inadmissible in state court. It blocks public universities from serving as NSA research facilities or recruiting grounds. And it disincentivizes corporations attempting to fill needs not met in the absence of state cooperation.
Lawmakers in Oklahoma, California and Indiana have already introduced similar legislation, and a senator in Arizona has committed to running it there, but Washington counts as the first state with an actual NSA facility within its borders to consider the Fourth Amendment Protection Act. The NSA operates a listening center on the Army's Yakima Training Center (YTC). The NSA facility is in Taylor's district, and he said he cannot sit idly by while a secretive facility in his own backyard violate the rights of people everywhere.
"We're running the bill to provide protection against the ever increasing surveillance into the daily lives of our citizens," he said. "Our Founding Fathers established a series of checks and balances in the Constitution. Given the federal government's utter failure to address the people's concerns, it's up to the states to stand for our citizens' constitutional rights."

N.S.A. Devises Radio Pathway Into Computers
Source: NYTimes.com
WASHINGTON — The National Security Agency has implanted software in nearly 100,000 computers around the world that allows the United States to conduct surveillance on those machines and can also create a digital highway for launching cyberattacks.
While most of the software is inserted by gaining access to computer networks, the N.S.A. has increasingly made use of a secret technology that enables it to enter and alter data in computers even if they are not connected to the Internet, according to N.S.A. documents, computer experts and American officials.

Merck Continues Promoting Zilmax, Despite Cattle Losing Their Hooves from the Drug
Source: Mercola.com
While the beta-agonist drug Zilmax (Zilpaterol) has been used to promote muscle growth in American-grown cattle since 2007, news of the dramatic adverse effects of this drug didn't hit mainstream news—and hence public consciousness—until late last year.1
In early August, 2013, Tyson Food Inc issued a statement saying it would no longer purchase Zilmax-fed cattle for slaughter due to animal welfare concerns.2 The company had noticed that many of the cows that had been fed the drug had trouble walking. The cattle also displayed other behavioral issues.
Since then, Cargill Inc. has also decided to reject Zilmax-fed cattle until it is confident that any animal welfare issues associated with the drug have been resolved.
Merck, the maker of the drug, initially said it would halt US and Canadian sales of Zilmax, pending company research and review. It wasn't long however before Merck announced it had no plans to discontinue the product,3 saying the company stands behind the safety of the drug.
At present, Merck does not need approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to return Zilmax to market, as the FDA has not taken any action against the drug.

Bullish on Yellen: A Very Good Article From Forbes
Source: TheDailyBell.com
The Keynesian model was built to capitalize on difficult economic circumstances by creating a theoretical framework that further centralized power and money.
It was a justification for authoritarianism, even though in today's world myriad supine economists and useless journalists continue to write about this extraordinary example of malicious public relations as if it were high theoretical art.
