A Brooklyn man was arrested after he grabbed the microphone at the beginning of the news conference for Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith and spouted off a conspiracy theory. “Investigate 9/11,” the man shouted after the Seahawks’ victory at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. “9/11 was perpetrated by people in our own government.”

New autonomous-vehicle technology tested this month shows US Army’s convoys – plagued by deadly improvised explosive devices in Iraq and Afghanistan – will soon be able to move through the fiercest combat zones without the risk of losing life.
Notice the propaganda image the MSM posted: United States Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday that the Department of Justice will seek the death penalty against Dzhokar Tsarnaev, the 20-year-old ethic Chechen man accused of being involved in last year’s deadly Boston Marathon bombing. “After consideration of the relevant facts, the applicable regulations and the submissions made by the defendant’s counsel, I have determined that the United States will seek the death penalty in this matter,”
The EU is considering mandatorily equipping of all cars sold in the union with devices, which would allow police to remotely disable engines, according to leaked documents. If the plan goes as planned, European law enforcers will be able to stop fugitives, suspected criminals and even speeding drivers with a simple radio command from a control room.
The suppression pool of the Fukushima Daiichi Unit No. 2 reactor may have a 3-centimeter hole in it, through which the highly radioactive water might be leaking out, the plant operator said. The information is based on the data gathered by a robot sent into the suppression pool at the bottom of the No. 2 reactor’s primary containment vessel earlier in January. The received video images indicated that the structure was damaged somewhere.
People in the Netherlands will soon have access to The Pirate Bay, one of the world’s most censored file-sharing websites, as a court in The Hague ruled that Dutch ISPs need to stop blocking the site after the ban proved ineffective against piracy. The Court of The Hague released its verdict that two leading ISPs operating in the country – XS4All and Ziggo – no longer have to block access to file sharing website The Pirate Bay.
British intelligence officials can infiltrate the very cables that transfer information across the internet, as well as monitor users in real time on sites like Facebook without the company’s consent, according to documents leaked by Edward Snowden. The internal documents reveal that British analysts gave instruction to members of the National Security Agency in 2012, showing them how to spy on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube in real time and collect the computer addresses of billions of the sites’ uploaders.
The US National Security Agency and its UK counterpart, GCHQ, have the ability to harvest sensitive personal data from phone apps that transmit users’ data across the web, such as the extremely popular Angry Birds game. Along with obtaining information about the specific dimensions and model of an individual’s iPhone or Android, the intelligence agencies are also able to acquire details on that person’s age, gender, and location.
New York plans to create regulations that will guide virtual currency firms that operate in the state, possibly requiring them to hold a “BitLicense,” the state’s top banking regulator said Tuesday, one day after a major arrest in the bitcoin universe. Benjamin Lawsky, New York’s Superintendent of Financial Services, said such regulatory guidelines would seek to bar misconduct like money laundering while not cornering in booming cryptocurrency technology. His comments came during the start of hearings this week – organized by the New York Department of Financial Services – on the future of online currencies.
A 32nd degree Scottish Rite Freemason is called “Sublime Master of the Royal Secret.” Today, I write not feeling especially sublime. What does it mean to have this title? That will vary from one Mason to the next. For some brothers, it means almost nothing. It means only that he has paid his dues and been in the audience of the degree. These days (and maybe it was always thus) there is no further teaching or work to be done once a brother has attained a particular degree. Listening and observing the lessons and symbols of the degree are all…
It was a vast boat that saved two of each animal and a handful of humans from a catastrophic flood. But forget all those images of a long vessel with a pointy bow — the original Noah’s ark, new research suggests, was round. A recently deciphered 4,000-year-old clay tablet from ancient Mesopotamia — modern-day Iraq — reveals striking new details about the roots of the Old Testament tale of Noah.
By Eric Scheiner The Department of Health and Human Services is spending $2,797,979 on a study that brings television to more than a dozen remote villages in Vietnam to study its impact on their culture and reproductive behavior. “In cooperation with the Vietnam government, we have selected 14 villages in a remote, mountainous area of Vietnam that currently lacks electricity,” according to the grant description for ‘Television and International Family Change: A Randomized Experiment.’
By James Fluere A 42-year-old electrician in California developed star-shaped cataracts after an electric shock of 14,000 volts to the left shoulder, according to a write-up about the incident featured in The New England Journal of Medicine. A LiveScience report notes that the electric current moved through the optic nerve — the role of the optic nerve is to transfer visual data from the retina to the vision centers of the brain via electrical impulses, according to Healthline.
By Bettany Hughes A mummified crocodile in the back streets of Oxford might not be an obvious guardian for one of life’s great mysteries. But some 2,000-year-old treacle brown remains made up of recycled scraps of Egyptian papyrus, torn up to encase the reptile, hide hard evidence of a substantial historical cover-up. Now stored in 100-year-old kerosene cans and Huntley & Palmers biscuit tins, the ancient fragments were originally dumped as rubbish in ancient Oxyrhynchus (the town of the sharp-nosed fish). Their salvation, by two British archaeologists from 1896, who heard that locals were using the papyri fragments as organic…
Many individuals have heard it a million times, but for the uninformed, or those just looking to fuel their 2014 fire to finally defeat Monsanto and their cronies, you’ll be interested to know that Monsanto’s Bt-toxin is far from ‘safe’ as the chemical company claimed it would be when filing their papers with the FDA. New research from Canada show that BT toxins are showing up in pregnant women, and low and behold – they are killing human embryo cells. 2014 is the year of the horse, but we’re not through beating this one to death.
Rather than comply with California’s new “microstamping” gun law, some companies have decided their best course of action is to simply stop selling their firearms in the state. Both Smith & Wesson and Sturm Ruger have announced that they will halt the sales of numerous gun models in California that would be subject to a law which opponents believe is intended to infringe on gun rights.
By Henrik Palmgren Notorious Serbian-Swedish gangster Milo ‘Mille’ Markovic has been found dead with four bullet wounds to his head in Stockholm. The 52-year-old was shot dead while sitting in a car outside his home in Ulvsunda, in the western part of the Swedish capital, just after 6pm last night, the engine still running.
Senator Amy Klobuchar will soon introduce a bill to combat smartphone theft – a rapidly growing crime as the technology proliferates – that would require phone makers to install a “kill switch” to prohibit a stolen device’s further use. The legislation would demand that all phones sold in the United States have technology installed that would terminate the phone’s capabilities, Wi-Fi, games, and other features once it is reported stolen. Thus far, the wireless industry has opposed such features.
