This New Tank Drone Could Spell the End for Human Freedom

This New Tank Drone Could Spell the End for Human Freedom | The Daily Sheeple:
After 15 years of fighting the War on Terror, Americans have become thoroughly acquainted with automated warfare.
Drones are no longer a novelty, especially after Obama took office and started deploying them like there was no tomorrow.
However, there is no reason to think that these machines are the end point of automated warfare.
If anything, they are just the beginning.
As technology advances, we can expect to see more robots show up in every active and supporting role the military has to offer.
That of course, will include land based drones.
Despite spending two decades developing land based drones, it’s not the US who is going to break ground in this field, but a Russian state-owned corporation known as Rosoboronexport. 
They’ve just developed the very first tank drone, and they are expected to sell it on the international market in the very near future.
...Make no mistake however, this has far greater implications than airborne drones ever did.
This isn’t just going to be a ground based version of a reaper drone.
It’s going to change the game for warfare, and for human society.
And even if it doesn’t do this right away, it is a first step towards radically changing society, and not for the better.
Here’s why:
The history of human warfare has always been just that. Human warfare. 
There has always been a person somewhere in the loop.
Specifically, there has always been some guy with a gun or a sword or a spear, who is doing the dirty work of someone more powerful than him.
uran-9He is the lowest common denominator of any military.
He is intrinsic.
Even more so than naval or air power.
The infantryman is ultimately the most important contributor to any war, because every tank, plane, missile, and ship is deployed with the intent of helping him gain and hold ground.
The buck always stops with an armed human being.
If we begin to automate land warfare, and start replacing these grunts with machines, it’s going to irrevocably change society.
For most of human history, the rulers have always had to find some way to convince other people to fight in their name.
They’ve done this either by compensation with money, loot, and slaves, or with some kind of ideology.
But what happens when machines take the role of the grunt? 
What happens if the elites no longer have to convince people to fight for them?..."

'The Hunting Ground' director compares due-process advocates to 'climate change deniers'

'The Hunting Ground' director compares due-process advocates to 'climate change deniers' - The College Fix:
"The campus sexual-assault documentary The Hunting Ground has been under sustained attack by left-of-center law professors and journalists going back at least 11 months, when The Harvard Crimson fact-checked its claims about Harvard.
The criticism has flummoxed the makers of the film, who recently tried to convince Harvard Law students to file Title IX complaints against their own professors because they called the film a hit job on one of their accused students (Brandon Winston beat the allegations against him).
Now the film’s director is pulling out the big guns, ThinkProgress reports:
“This falsely accused thing drives me nuts,” Kirby Dick, who wrote and directed The Hunting Ground, told ThinkProgress. “The criminal justice system resoundingly resides in favor of the perpetrator.” [Tell that to Steven Avery.]
“There’s a real parallel between climate change deniers and rape deniers in terms of how they operate,” Dick added. “And there is going to be a similar parallel in terms of the impact on this culture… It’s taken 20 years for us to crawl out of that hole. We can’t just assume there are two sides and those two sides are equally weighted.”
Having failed to shame progressive advocates – led by nonwhite and feminist legal scholars like Jeannie Suk and Nancy Gertner – into renouncing their fealty to due process, rape hustlers like Kirby Dick resort to calling them the worst names they can think of (“creationist” can’t be far behind)."

The Legal Language That Might Stop the Obama Administration From Using ‘Genocide’ to Describe the Islamic State’s Actions | TheBlaze.com:

"The Obama administration continues pondering whether to classify as genocide the Islamic State’s targeting of Christians and religious minorities, even as European allies have opted for the term.

While some experts argue that it’s clearly a case of genocide, others contend the case might rest on the wording, “in whole or in part,” contained in the genocide treaty that the United States is a part of."

There's been a boom in driver's licenses issued to immigrants here illegally

There's been a boom in driver's licenses issued to immigrants here illegally - LA Times:
"...An estimated 605,000 licenses were issued under the law last year, accounting for nearly half of all new licenses, according to the California DMV.
Nearly 400,000 of the licenses were issued during the first six months.
"We believe that this new law increases safety on California roads by putting licensed drivers behind the steering wheel," spokesman Artemio Armenta said.
...Brown in August signed a trio of immigration-related measures, which included elimination of the word "alien" within California's labor code to describe immigrants in the country illegally.
The new laws also included allowing noncitizen high school students to serve as election poll workers and protecting immigrant minors in civil lawsuits..."

Obamas’ expensive vacations spark lawsuit; ‘kingly entourage’ abuse of taxpayers’ money | BizPac Review

Obamas’ expensive vacations spark lawsuit; ‘kingly entourage’ abuse of taxpayers’ money | BizPac Review:

"Contending that the bill for Obama’s travel costs exceeds $74 million, but being stonewalled in trying to access the actual totals, Judicial Watch sued the Department of Homeland Security for ignoring Freedom of Information Act requests, according to a press release issued this week by the conservative watchdog group.

(The Secret Service is under the authority of Homeland Security.)

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said taxpayers are being “abused” by the president’s “kingly entourage.”

“Now that we’ve sued, the Secret Service has stopped ignoring our requests for details on more of the costs of Barack Obama’s luxury vacations,” Fitton said in the statement. "

Global warming might be causing dogs to become depressed, say pet behaviourists

Global warming might be causing dogs to become depressed, say pet behaviourists | Environment | The Independent:
A boredom epidemic is sweeping through Britain’s dog population – and global warming could be to blame.
Across the country, there are reports of down-in-the-mouth mutts, and under-the-weather canines.
Leading pet behaviourists told The Independent that the number of depressed and unsettled dogs they have seen in recent months is unprecedented.
And they suggested that the spate of wet winters could be at the root of the problem, as owners cut down on the daily walks that are crucial to keeping dogs’ spirits up.
...“I’ve been working with dogs for more than 20 years and I can’t remember a time when they’ve been this bored.
I tend to see boredom in bursts but I’m seeing it chronically this winter,” said Carolyn Menteith, a dog behaviourist who was named Britain’s Instructor of the Year in 2015.
Ms Menteith spends much of her time outside walking dogs and has noticed a significant change in the weather in the past five years or so – as cold, crisp winters gradually give way to “constant wet dreariness”.
She – like many scientists and meteorologists – puts this down to climate change and expects to see more bored dogs in the future as global warming unleashes increasingly frequent and intense bouts of winter rainfall..."

World War III inches closer as Turkey says it may enter Syrian conflict

L. TODD WOOD: World War III inches closer as Turkey says it may enter Syrian conflict - Washington Times:
The reason Russia is possibly building a new airbase on the Turkish border inside Syria became clearer today as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan hinted Turkey could enter the war on the side of the anti-Assad forces who Russia has been primarily targeting. 
The Syrian government made major gains against the Sunni opposition in recent weeks as the Syrian city of Aleppo looked to fall from the opposition’s control.
Turkey has repeatedly urged the American-led coalition against ISIS to do more to help the anti-Assad forces.
“We don’t want to fall into the same mistake in Syria as in Iraq,” Mr. Erdogan said, recounting how Turkey’s parliament denied a U.S. request to use its territory for the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
“It’s important to see the horizon.
What’s going on in Syria can only go on for so long.
At some point it has to change,” he told journalists on the return flight from a tour of Latin America, reported Bloomberg News.
When asked if Turkey could enter the Syrian conflict, Mr. Erdogan said, “You don’t talk about these things. 
When necessary, you do what’s needed. 
Right now our security forces are prepared for all possibilities...”

Iowa Dem Party fixes errors, but refuses to release raw vote

Iowa Dem Party fixes errors, but refuses to release raw vote - UPI.com:
"DES MOINES, Iowa, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton remains the winner of the Iowa caucuses after the Iowa Democratic corrected errors in several precincts.
The Des Moines Register quoted Iowa Democratic Party officials as saying on Sunday that Clinton won with 700.47 state delegate equivalents, or 49.84 percent, while Bernie Sanders finished in second with 696.92 state delegate equivalents, or 49.59 percent.
The review of the count in select precincts came amid calls for an audit following reported discrepancies in the caucus results last week.
In one precinct, a single delegate showed up to vote for Sanders but was erroneously marked as voting for Clinton.
In all, party officials reviewed 14 precincts and found errors in five.
...The mistakes have also led to calls for the Iowa Democratic Party to change its process, which differs from the Republican Party's method of conducting a simple, secret straw poll.
The Democrats use complex math formulas, coin tosses and past voter turnout to calculate numbers from a series of headcounts..."

Obama DHS scrubs records of hundreds of Muslim terrorists

Obama DHS scrubs records of hundreds of Muslim terrorists:

"These new shocking revelations come fresh on the heels of whistleblower testimony in the wake of the San Bernardino jihad slaughter, revealing that the Obama administration shut down investigations into jihadists in America (and quite possible the San Bernardino shooters) at the request of the Department of State and the DHS’ own Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Division. Haney noted: “They claimed that since the Islamist groups in question were not Specially Designated Terrorist Organizations (SDTOs) tracking individuals related to these groups was a violation of the travelers’ civil liberties. These were almost exclusively foreign nationals: When were they granted the civil rights and liberties of American citizens?”

How is this not impeachable? When did foreign terrorists get civil rights?"



Dark green conifers across Europe have stoked Global Warming: French Research

Dark green conifers across Europe have stoked Global Warming: French Research | Maine News Online:
Planting more trees than what can be harvested has been recognized by activists as a key strategy in the fight against climate change.
But a new study published in the journal Science has found the claim to be false.
As per the researchers, more than 250 years of forest management in Europe has actually added to climate change rather than helping to stop it.
 In the study, the researchers have assessed the land-use history of Europe from 1750 to till date.
The researchers have included factors including deforestation and forestation and management changes and changes in types of trees planted and the amount of wood harvested.
They have also used models to assess the effects of the changes on the climate..."

SPREAD THIS: Chuck Norris Reveals 1 HUGE Piece of Hillary's Past She Did NOT Want America to See

SPREAD THIS: Chuck Norris Reveals 1 HUGE Piece of Hillary's Past She Did NOT Want America to See:

"Most people think that the two most important names in the Democratic race for the White House in 2016 are Obama and Clinton. However, the two names you should be paying attention to are Cloward and Piven."

What is Socialism?

What is Socialism? | Intellectual Takeout:
So, there’s a video making the social media rounds with a CNN reporter supposedly asking Bernie Sanders supporters to define socialism.
 Here it is: 


Based on a lot of what we’ve seen in articles and online comments, the reporter probably revealed quite a bit of truth about what young Americans actually understand about socialism.
Back in July 2014, Reason released a report stating that 42% of Millennials preferred socialism, but only 16% could accurately define it. Ouch.
So just what is socialism? Quite simply it is the “popular ownership of the means of production”. 
In other words, a democratic government owns all of the businesses in the country and runs them for the benefit of the people.
If you don’t believe it, here are some socialists defining socialism from an earlier piece we did refuting the idea that all government action is a display of socialism. 
First up is Vladimir Lenin:
“What is usually called socialism was termed by Marx the 'first', or lower, phase of communist society. Insofar as the means of production become common property, the word 'communism' is also applicable here, providing we do not forget that this is not complete communism” (The State and Revolution)
Or
For socialism is merely the next step forward from state-capitalist monopoly. Or, in other words, socialism is merely state-capitalist monopoly which is made to serve the interests of the whole people and has to that extent ceased to be capitalist monopoly” (The Impending Catastrophe and How to Combat It)
Here's how the Socialist Party USA, which uses the term democratic-socialism, defines socialism:
“The Socialist Party strives to establish a radical democracy that places people's lives under their own control -- a non-racist, classless, feminist, socialist society in which people cooperate at work, at home, and in the community.
Socialism is not mere government ownership, a welfare state, or a repressive bureaucracy. Socialism is a new social and economic order in which workers and consumers control production and community residents control their neighborhoods, homes, and schools.  The production of society is used for the benefit of all humanity, not for the private profit of a few. Socialism produces a constantly renewed future by not plundering the resources of the earth.”
So there you go. 
Socialism is the government controlling not only businesses, but also neighborhoods, homes, and schools. 
Indeed, as the Socialist Party USA claims, it is a very different “social and economic order” than anything you’ve likely experienced.

Insane CA Taxes will Cause Super Bowl Players to LOSE MONEY to Play...

Insane CA Taxes will Cause Super Bowl Players to LOSE MONEY to Play... » Louder With Crowder
Some liberals are starting to realize that the math doesn’t add up but this story about Cam Newton and other NFL players LOSING MONEY this Sunday because of leftist tax policy is beyond ridiculous.
Players are basically paying San Francisco to be allowed to play in the SuperBowl.
Not making this up.
Since the Super Bowl will be held in Santa Clara, California this year, the visiting teams will end up paying the “jock tax.”
The jock tax is a tax levied on professional athletes.
States base this taxation of a player’s yearly income, which they then apply a duty day calculation, which looks at the ratio of duty days spent in-state against total duty days in a year.
Because athletes from both Super Bowl teams have to spend several days in California for the event, they will all have to pay an obscenely high tax rate based on their entire year’s income!
Each member of the winning team will receive a $102,000 check from the NFL, members of the losing team will each receive $51,000 just for participating.
This leaves those highly paid stars like Quarterback Cam Newton, who signed a five-year $103.8 million dollar contract last summer, in the red, according to Forbes.
He will owe California a total of $159,560 in taxes in 2016 just if they win and $159,200 if they lose, based on Forbes’ calculations, which factors 11 of the Panthers’ 206 “duty days” in 2016 taking place in California..."
