Police State

Expert warns Europeans to avoid storing data in US clouds because of spying.

The police state meets the gun control fanatics.

"This time, there was no gun, loaded with bubbles or otherwise, anywhere at "PS 4, on Fulton Avenue and East 174th Street" in Da Bronx, New York. No, a 12-year-old boy merely mentioned "his toy Nerf gun, which he left at home" to a "classmate." Alas, a snitch, which the report dignifies as a "campus aide," overheard this innocent chatter and duly ratted out our pint-sized gunslinger.
The usual nonsense ensued: cops "locked down" the place while parents panicked (ahem: why have you entrusted your children to Leviathan when you should be teaching them yourselves?): said one mother, "There are police officers here with assault rifles and there are helicopters flying around. It's really scary out here," while another added, “When I got to the school, it was crazy ... People were yelling and running around." Yep, count on the NYPD to gin up utter, shocking madness over nothing."

But this is a visible example of the ubiquitous violence of government we live under every moment of every day.
