A law enforcement official says cellphone service has been shut down in the Boston area to prevent any potential remote detonations of explosives. Authorities have not identified what caused the explosives that erupted at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. The official was speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.
Police say there is no evidence yet linking the Boston Marathon explosions to a fire at the JFK Library shortly after. Earlier two devices exploded at the event’s finish line, killing two people and injuring over 100. Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis now says the 4:30PM library incident was in all likelihood not related to the Marathon explosions.
Jon Rappoport Activist Post It’s now being suggested that Google Glass, the computers worn over the eyes, can be used to catch rogue stock traders before they wander off the reservation and destroy the firms they work for. Google Glass records everything the wearer sees and says. So if all brokers are ordered to have them, their every move can be observed by company spies. Wonderful, right? And if traders can be kept in line, how about bank tellers and nurses and teachers and gun shop owners and chefs and cab drivers and lifeguards and blackjack dealers and realtors and…
Illegal poppy cultivation in Afghanistan is expected to reach a record high this year. As NATO troops withdraw and the international aid effort winds down, the country’s economy is set to shrink, making other legal crops less attractive.

Daisy Luther Activist Post There’s a dirty little secret in some organic fruit orchards. That juicy apple or pear that you just paid triple the price for may have been sprayed with antibiotics.

The UK is increasingly concerned there is evidence that chemical weapons have been used in Syria. Foreign Secretary William Hague said the claims must be investigated and the perpetrators held to account.
As the polls have closed across the country, the Twitter account of the Venezuela presidential hopeful Nicolas Maduro has been compromised by the Lulz Security Peru hacktivist group. Two official websites have been brought down as well. The official’s twitter account was filled with vulgar messages in which @lulzsecperu claimed responsibility for the successful attack.
You believe in monsters, whether you know it or not — and I’m not even talking about the two-thirds of Americans who believe in demons and demon possession, or all of us who for a couple of weeks thought the Miami cannibal attack was the beginning of a zombie apocalypse (deny it all you want, but I know how hard it was to find shotgun shells that week). No, I’m talking about the monsters that live in your brain.
Hacked photos show former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell alongside two well known actors at the exclusive Bohemian Grove in northern California. Cryptome.org published the photos in a PDF file on April 9, we learned yesterday.
Vigilant Citizen Ke$ha’s latest album Warrior is apparently not what she wanted it to be. When Dr. Luke signed on as executive producer of the project, he reportedly scrapped all of the songs Ke$ha and her mother Pebe Sebert originally wrote for the album. It is important to point out that Dr. Luke is currently a leading figure in the music industry as he produced tracks for the likes of Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Jessie J, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna and many other pop stars.
Imagine the kind of havoc a malicious hacker could cause if he or she were able to take over an airplane simply using his Android phone. With a tap of his or her fingers, the hacker could arbitrarily control the plane remotely and redirect its path. If you think this is only something that could happen in a Hollywood movie, think again, because that’s exactly the scenario a German security researcher laid out on Wednesday at a conference in Amsterdam.
Jeff Poor Daily Caller On his Friday HBO program, “Real Time” host Bill Maher said what many people on the left have been reluctant to say: that he opposes the Second Amendment guarantee of the right to bear arms.

A Florida policeman has been fired for using photos of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, shot and killed last year by a neighborhood watchman, for target practice. Martin’s family attorney condemned the act as “depraved.” Sgt.
