U.S. Air Force Testing New Stealth Drone at Area 51
Update on the global drone arms race.Nicholas WestActivist Post It has been predicted that the development of drone surveillance by the U.S. would spark a global race to develop new drone capabilities, leading to a potentially dystopian future of drone wars where combat and even assassinations can be performed by fleets of insect-like microbots. The Washington Post reported in July, 2011: More than 50 countries have purchased surveillance drones, and many have started in-country development programs for armed versions because no nation is exporting weaponized drones beyond a handful of sales between the United States and its closest allies. The number of countries has now risen toward 90 as Pakistan recently entered into the market, plus the United Nations itself has launched its own fleet of surveillance drones. Perhaps to keep up with an announcement that the U.S. First test flight footage: The race is on to capitalize on the surge in the drone market around the world.
If You Think Only Poor People Need Welfare, Wait Till You See What Really Rich Folks Do With It
Narrator: And all this time I thought the world was round. The world is not round. It has edges we can fall from and faces staring in entirely different directions. And I thought the world was huge, but it is not. One afternoon last year I listened to a group of my student’s discuses welfare and poverty in America. I realize that afternoon that this post welfare generation was also expressing deep ambivalent about the role of government. This is why they fall in love with the ideas of William Easterly, especially, his line, “The rich have markets, the poor have bureaucrats.” And there are millions of other families who enjoy the same benefits. The America welfare stage was setup in the wake of the great depression to create a new deal of social programs. Narrator:In our search for the welfare queen we were looking for actually people when we should have been looking for corporate people. It hinges on being the biggest welfare queen in the United States. And so that afternoon at U.C.
Military Urban Operations Training: "Blacked-out" Helicopters Reported in Several Cities
Chris CarringtonActivist Post Military training exercises are being conducted over a wide area of the United States. Phoenix, Los Angeles and Dallas news stations were inundated with calls about "blacked-out" helicopters flying low over the cities. In Phoenix eyewitnesses said the pilots flew their craft very close to buildings, weaving between them just a few hundred feet above the sidewalks. The Department of Homeland security is stepping up ‘urban warfare’ training, but it’s unclear at this point if the training is because they fear an attack from outside the country, or if they are practicing these maneuvers so they can control American citizens should the need arise.

Americans finally understand that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol
A new Pew survey out today provides yet another illustration of the failure of America's drug war. By a nearly five-to-one margin, Americans agree that alcohol is worse for you than marijuana. However you slice the data up demographically, majorities say the same thing. The elderly, Republicans and Hispanics are the least likely to agree that booze is more harmful than weed, but even among these groups respondents said that alcohol was more harmful by more than a two-to-one margin. In fact, alcohol was the most dangerous of all the drugs studied, vastly more dangerous than other drugs in terms of harm to society, and behind only meth, crack and heroin when it came to harm to users. Other topline findings from the Pew survey: significant majorities approve of marijuana legalization, say that mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent drug crimes are a bad idea, and want the federal government to focus more on providing treatment to drug users, rather than prosecuting them.
Texas Students Hijack US Military Drone in Mid Air
When the Department of Homeland security makes bets with the civilian population, perhaps they shouldn’t offer college students $1000. In Austin, Texas, College students said they would take that bet and they did. Texas College Students hijacked a US Military Predator Drone in mid-air in front of DHS!The University of Texas came into it saying that they not only could do it, but that it had been done before. We have seen the reports from Iran that they used a technique to do what they call “spoofing” to bring down a RQ-170 spy plane of the United States and put it on Display. When the US Government and DHS put up the challenge to see if it could be done for less than $1000 to prove it was false, I guess they had forgotten what we in Texas call “Red Neck Ingenuity”. From Popular Science and RT: A group of researchers led by Professor Todd Humphreys from the University of Texas at Austin Radio navigation Laboratory recently succeeded in raising the eyebrows of the US government.

Air Force pursuing antimatter weapons / Program was touted publicly, then came official gag order
The U.S. Air Force is quietly spending millions of dollars investigating ways to use a radical power source -- antimatter, the eerie "mirror" of ordinary matter -- in future weapons. The most powerful potential energy source presently thought to be available to humanity, antimatter is a term normally heard in science-fiction films and TV shows, whose heroes fly "antimatter-powered spaceships" and do battle with "antimatter guns." But antimatter itself isn't fiction; it actually exists and has been intensively studied by physicists since the 1930s. During the Cold War, the Air Force funded numerous scientific studies of the basic physics of antimatter. More cataclysmic possible uses include a new generation of super weapons -- either pure antimatter bombs or antimatter-triggered nuclear weapons; the former wouldn't emit radioactive fallout. In that talk, Edwards discussed the potential uses of a type of antimatter called positrons. Why so far off?
