If it bleeds it leads…
Russian Warships to
Maneuver Near Syria
Bashar al-Assad looks like he has a new pitbull. Protecting its last ally in the Middle
East, but most importantly its access to the Mediterranean Russia is sending a
flotilla of 11 Russian warships, capable of c arrying hundreds of marines to
dock in the ancient port of Tartus.
It is a clear message to the region and the US backing rebel forces in
Syria. Washington is predictably
mum, but with poker faces aplenty is it call or check?

Obama EO Grants
Authority to Seize Private Communication Facilities
Obama has done what the people’s congress could not last
year because of public protest. His
order grants new powers to the Department of Homeland Security, most
importantly, the power to seize private facilities when necessary, effectively
shutting down or limiting civilian communications. Reasoning Washington needs “at all times and under all
circumstances to carry out its most critical and time sensitive missions.”
Seems like a one-way street.
Here’s something
interesting…
Like 3D? Imagine 6!
In the latest from the people who found God in a subatomic
particle, the Higgs Boson, comes a new experiment called ATLAS. The megaminds at CERN using their Large
Hydron Collider believe they can view three more dimensions beyond what humans
can perceive. Major surpises are
yet on the horizon and possibly even more questions.

Lone Star State Top
Pick for Business
On the heels of news that every state with a Republican
governor saw reductions in unemployment, Texas is lauded as the best state in
America to do business in.
Receiving high marks in CNBC’s grading rubric for infrastructure, tech
and innovation, the third lowest cost of living, access to capital all while
recovering from a severe economic slump last year. Get er done!
This is getting
ridiculous…
Pentagon Considers
Awarding Medals to Drone Pilots
The military’s gamers, sorry… drone pilots might wear flight
suits to work, but they don’t need them.
Spying on weddings, sorry… children…err enemy combatants thousands of
miles away from harm sipping on Monster is hardly valorous so why is the
Pentagon glorifying ridding a joystick?
Want to award our fearless flyers?
How about a new Nintendo Wii and call it a day?
This is going to get
weird…
The Islamist Pyramid
Scheme
That’s right the Arab Spring may have just been a plan to
install a pyramid scheme that is to say – destroy the Great Pyramids of
Giza. Recent islamist electoral
victories throughout the region have spurred the less than reasonable to
accomplish what Amr bin al-As, Egypt’s Muslim conqueror, could not in 640
AD. This week alone 16 ancient
mausoleums were ransacked in Mali, viral video showed the Taliban stoning women
again and who doesn’t remember the 1,500-year-old Buddah they razed in 2001? Time to guard the wonders of the world.
