Chris Hunkele sent us a link to bill H.R. 5741 “Universal National Service Act“, introduced to the House on July 15, 2010 by Senator Rangel and applies to any US citizen age 18 to 42.
The tone of the bill absolutely seems to be one targeting military service (bold added for emphasis):
To require all persons in [...]

H.R. 5741 – Bill Submitted to Instate Mandatory National Service
US Govt Legalizes iPhone Jailbreak & Unlocking
Update #1: The world-famous Chris Hunkele has summarized the new rules for us:
Allow owners of used cell phones to break access controls on their phones in order to switch wireless carriers.
Allow people to break technical protections on video games to investigate or correct security flaws.
Allow college professors, film students and documentary filmmakers to break copy-protection [...]
The Truth About the War on Drugs
Keep in mind, I’m not promoting the legalization of drugs, I just find the stats and the uncountable amount of money spent on the problem to “solve it”.
These endless types of crusades always strike me as “American jobs in Cause’s clothing”, meaning it’s a subversive way to create thousands upon thousands of jobs to keep [...]
Barack Obama Opens up Governmental Proceedings Using YouTube
In a move that I can only describe as “This is why I voted for Obama”, President-elect Barack Obama has announced that the weekly Democratic address will not just be recorded on radio (what’s that?) but also on video that will be posted to YouTube and cross-posted to Change.gov along with weekly presidential updates.
In addition [...]
FCC Approves Unlicensed White Space Spectrum Use
After a long fight Google, Microsoft, and many other tech companies won their argument with the FFC yesterday when the FCC voted to approve the use of unlicensed “white spaces” spectrum newly freed up as a result of TV broadcasters going from analog to digital broadcasts.
While there are companies opposed to opening up this newly [...]
$700 Billion Bailout Is Not For Loans, It's to Encourage Bank Mergers
Remember that $700 billion bail-out that was forced down Congress’s throat with fear of military law being declared in the US if it wasn’t signed?
Remember how we said that everything taking place during that time (and now) maps perfectly to the market crash of the 1930s? And how we mentioned that the long-term fallout from [...]
Economic Crisis, The Amero, North American Union and the New World Order
We first took a look at the shape of things to come last year with the review of the “How the Banking System Works” series of movies on YouTube (it’s an excellent series, must-watch if you haven’t already).
The most perspective-shifting piece of information from that series is two things:
How organized the world-wide banking system is
How [...]
Let the Handouts Begin, California Needs $7 Billion Bailout
If you haven’t seen the news, Todd Swarthout send in this tasty morsel: now that it looks like the $700 billion bail-out is going to pass the House, it looks like the hands are starting to get held out… now California needs a $7 billion bail-out as well.
But don’t worry, this one isn’t for lobbyists, [...]
Please Write Your State Representa… PSYCHE! Just Kidding
With the country up in arms over the $700bn bailout vote through the house but now getting ready to be voted on in the Senate, a lot of Americans want their voices heard on the issue… and heard immediately!
Fortunately for us, visiting House.gov and writing to our representative is as easy as clicking the helpful [...]
Surveillance Back Doors Built into Skype
Heise Online reports that there have been recent findings that suggest there are surveillance back doors built directly into Skype.
While Skype refuses to comment directly on the findings by the community, at an ISP meeting on June 25th higher-ups at an unnamed Austrian ISP made the comment that spying on Skype-based phone calls was not [...]
Iran Missile Launch Photo is a Fake
Did you see the above picture yesterday or did a friend forward it to you? I got it in my inbox and over IM a few times and it looks like it’s made it’s rounds online:
We better be scared right? A story with the word “Iran” in it, and then the associated picture. If I [...]
US Govt. Thinks Citizens Are a Constant Threat
The Washington Times is reporting that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) expressed “great interest” in a “safety bracelet” that all air-travelers would be forced to wear if implemented.
This information was from a promotional video (Link Dead, they have removed the movie after all the attention it got) over at the Lamperd Less Lethal website.
The [...]
Utah Adopts 4-Day, 10hr/Day, Work Week
With gas prices around $4/gallon and budgets everywhere getting crunched with higher costs of… everything, states are struggling to figure out how to lower costs and try and accomodate greener practices.
After a year-long study, Utah has announced this week that it will be moving to a 4-day (Monday through Thursday), 10hr/day work week.
The announcement will [...]
War Against Internet Users, P2P Traffic and Piracy Begins
Was browsing through Slashdot today and saw two interesting articles. It looks like nations, naturally under the guidence of the RIAA/MPAA and similar groups, are beginning to move ‘anti-piracy’ legislation forward.
The first part of the problem is to give ISPs complete amnesty from pirated material, which will protect them from litigation and give them an [...]
No Child Left Behind Leaves Behind Lots of Kids (but just the dumb ones)
The #1 threat to America right now is education.
When you really sit down and think about it, no one stupid ever plotted an assassination or a terrorist attack. No one stupid every rioted and killed police or injured public officials. No one stupid ever didn’t shop at Wal-Mart because it was eating America from the [...]
Bush Signs the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act
In an effort to go down in history as the second worst and not the worst president in US history, Bush has signed the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) which would make it illegal for health care companies or employers to discriminate against people based on their generic information (e.g. Bob has a gene that [...]
If Martial Law, Arizona Will Secede
Marc Chung sends in a very interesting tidbit of information covering Arizona bill HCR 2034: “abolish federal government; state sovereignty”.
More specifically the bill covers the situation in which the US government declares martial law then Arizona will join with 34 or more (majority) of states and declare their own independence from the Union… interesting (especially [...]
New Net Neutrality Bill in the Works
If you were thinking of killing yourself with a hammer or moving to Sweden over the issue of Net Neutrality and the big ISPs inability to play fair when it came to traffic, don’t do it quite yet… there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
It seems that US lawmakers are taking another [...]
Zeitgeist: Christianity, 911 and The Federal Reserve
NOTE: This post may offend people that are religiously oriented, in the military or otherwise find yourself aligned with the policies of the Bush administration.
… a few weeks ago we blogged about the Bilderberg Group and World Domination. To summarize, the Bilderberg group is a private, highly secretive group of 100 or so of the [...]
India vs Monkeys: Round 37
*(Things turned sour in India when beloved monkey-hero Johnny Bananas burned down the house of his owner)
**(That’s crap, I just made that up)
We’ve blogged before about the on-going problems in Delhi with regard to the rampant bands of monkey’s that live in the city, steal food and harass people, but aren’t stopped because the monkey [...]
NASA Scientists Refuse Giving Up Privacy
Interesting story on Slashdot about how NASA JPL scientists have been “asked” to sign a privacy agreement to relinquish all privacy from their employer and allow investigation into their personal lives “without limit”.
Apparently 28 senior level scientists refused to sign the document by the deadline and are blogging about the progress in real time as [...]
How the Banking System Really Works
This highly informative and easy to understand film covers just about everything that isn’t taught in school regarding the corrupt “fractional reserve” banking system. It explains how these institutions get away with robbing the unsuspecting public by creating monetary policies designed to enslave society, while keeping the system in a perpetual state of rising debt.
Update [...]
Cheney Orders Corporate Media to Sell Iran Attack
Interesting… a story buried in the New Yorker, by George Packer, about orders handed down from the “office of the vice president” (neocon central) that it’s the “usual suspects” (Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, Fox) job to sell the war with Iran to the American public and get at most a 35-40% approval [...]
