TSA Detains Traveler Over Comic Book
06-27-2009
•
SFScope
"The minute I saw the faces of the agents, I knew I was in trouble. The first page of the Unthinkable
script mentioned 9/11, terror plots, and the fact that the (fictional)
world had become a police state. The TSA agents then proceeded to
interrogate me, having a hard time understanding that a comic book
could be about anything other than superheroes, let alone that anyone
actually wrote scripts for comics.

Strange Martial Law via Food Control: HR 2749
06-28-2009
•
The Writer's Collective
Not what the American people ordered - HR 2749, martial law and the enslavement of their farmers. HR 2749 is a strange bill in many ways. While the other “food safety” bills have been around since winter, allowing for much public discussion on the internet, HR 2749 has only suddenly appeared. It is a mutant conglomeration of the worst of the other bills, with the addition of one very original part " martial law.

Climate Change Bill May Be Election-Year Issue
6/27/09
•
NY Times
As Democrats strained to win over crucial holdouts on the way to narrow, party-line approval of global warming legislation, they were dogged by a critical question: Has the political climate changed since 1993? Veteran members of both parties vividly remember when many House Democrats, in the early months of the Clinton administration, reluctantly backed a proposed B.T.U. tax " a new levy on each unit of energy consumed " only to see it ignored by the Senate and seized as a campaign issue by Republicans, who took control of the House the next year.

Courts and Congress finally start to rein in the TSA
06-27-2009
•
Papers Please
Until recently, the TSA has been a domestic legal Guantanamo, and the
TSA has treated their domain of “checkpoints” and travel control and
surveillance as a law-free zone where their powers of search, seizure,
detention, and denial of passage were unconstrained by the
Constitution, human rights treaties,
judicial review, or stautory or regulatory standards. As indeed it has
been: Congress has enacted no law specifically defining any limits on
the authority of TSA agents at checkpoints (or elsewhere), and the TSA
itself has never conducted any rulemaking or issued any
publicly-disclosed regulations defining its authority, its limits, what
orders travellers do or don’t have to comply with, and which forms of
“noncooperation” are considered grounds for which sanctions

Nothing But Motion
Tom Westbrook
Conventional science considers space and time to be a framework in
which the drama of the universe is played out, in manifest form. The
thesis of the Reciprocal System, however, is that the universe is not a
universe of matter, but a universe of motion, one in which the
basic reality is motion, and all entities"photons, particles, atoms,
fields, forces, and all forms of energy"are merely manifestations of
motion.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke Fears Economic Collapse If the Fed is Audited

My analysis of Bernanke's statement: “My concern about the legislation is that if the GAO (Government Accountability Office) is auditing not only the operational aspects of the programs and the details of the programs but is making judgments about our policy decisions, that it would effectively be a takeover of monetary policy by the Congress and a repudiation of the independence of the Federal Reserve which would be highly destructive to the stability of the financial system, the Dollar and our national economic situation.”

Judge Posner's Dangerous Thinking on Links and the Future of News

Seeking Alpha
Mike Masnick on techdirt points us to some dangerous and incomplete thinking from Judge Richard Posner on his blog. At the bottom, Posner writes:
Expanding copyright law to bar online access to copyrighted materials without the copyright holder’s consent, or to bar linking to or paraphrasing copyrighted materials without the copyright holder’s consent, might be necessary to keep free riding on content financed by online newspapers from so impairing the incentive to create costly news-gathering operations that news services like Reuters and the Associated Press would become the only professional, nongovernmental sources of news and opinion.
