Police State

Cognitive dissonance on encryption.

"A secret US cybersecurity report warned that government and private computers were being left vulnerable to online attacks from Russia, China and criminal gangs because encryption technologies were not being implemented fast enough.
The advice, in a newly uncovered five-year forecast written in 2009, contrasts with the pledge made by David Cameron this week to crack down on encryption use by technology companies."

This is pretty easy for our rulers to resolve. They want us to use encryption, but only if they have the keys. I like how this is cyberattack drill is presented as theater because it is.

"And it also seems that the resource-less, jobless Cornell hadn’t the means to purchase the guns he and the informant were planning to use in their attack on the US Capitol: Cornell had saved money for his moment in the spotlight, but not enough, according to his father – who implies the informant supplied the requisite cash."

Just as I said.

More on the goofy prosecution of CIA whistleblower Jeffrey Sterling.

A.G. Holder limits federal civil forfeiture by police. Crap. I hate to agree with this guy.

We've heard about cops and military being trained to shoot civilians, but now and Atlanta chief supposedly trained them to shoot blacks. I'm skeptical.
