Prepping for something similar in the US/UK?  What might be the target?

CISPA Passes The House

Not a shock really, Republicans want a permanent underclass and all the breaks/protections for the rich. A lot of Democrats voted for the bill too. I just called my Rep. and let them know they will not have my support at all this November. I had called before the vote too, but they don't listen unless you are a Lobbyist with bundles of cash. The vote is here. The name in the Yay section in Italics, are the few Democrats that support making George Orwell's 1984 a reality.

If you haven't already, call your Senator tomorrow; http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

Congress could have easily fixed this piece of crap. Besides going after anyone doing the slightest bit of forum downloads (even if you thought it was not copyrighted), they will hold the ISPs harmless for sharing your personal information (bye Constitution). It's like a legal conspiracy to screw Americans. Regardless, there are already adequate laws in place to protect intellectual property.

They are even giving security clearances to ISP personnel (and I assume telecoms), which makes sense since they will have access to some threat database. I think this also gets around that pesky 4th Amendment.

I support the part of the bill that want's to strenghen the internet's infrastructure, and share knowledge of vulnerabilities across ISPs and Government. Pass that.

Killing US Terrorist Citizens

A lot of people have their panties in a wad over the explaination the US Attourney General gave for killing Americans without trial.

In the case of Anwar A, he had renounced his citizenship, and vowed to attack America with every chance he had. He did that on youtube, and in AQAP statements. He almost blew up a jet, while landing in Detroit. He was declared a "terrorist". If you don't do all that, this won't apply to you.

If I had the opportunity, I would have put a bullet in his head myself (no Trial, Judge or Jury). If you have a problem with that, you are not thinking about it. Or you just listen too much to foolish pundits.

Maryland State Gun Laws

Since Maryland has refused to do so, I thought I would compile the links to the actual laws (that I could find) applicable to Maryland.

Australia Ready For Gay Marriage

http://www.news.com.au/national/most-australians-believe-gay-marriage-will-happen-galaxy-poll/story-e6frfkvr-1226071515443

While I am not gay, I have friends who are and I like them alot. So much, that I strongly think they deserve every right that I have, in my own life. They are people too... Stop pissing on them because of what a preacher reads in an old old book.

Wow, The US Just Got A Little Less Shitty

The Senate authorized the military to repeal the law banning gay people to serve. It's not actually a "repeal" of the law, but authorization to implement the plan to do it.

Good deal, have a happy gay Christmas folks. Just for once.

Jury Duty

Not me, my 19 year old son. I hope he has a better experience than I did when I served on the Grand Jury in Rockville MD. Long story...

I mean it's all outside people. It's what anyone can see for themselves if they walk up to your neighborhood, so get the hell over your "privacy issues".
