(S.D. Wells) The year was 2013, and it was a widely-known conspiracy theory to say that the US government was spying on its own citizens via Google, Yahoo, Apple, Skype, YouTube, phone calls, emails and all social media posts. Then came Edward Snowden, a contractor who walked out of NSA with a thumb drive that changed the world forever, proving the “conspiracy theory” was true all along.

A Distributed Capacity for Violence: A Brief History of Weapons Technology and Political Power
(Sam Jacobs) The Constitution contains a powerful set of ideals and a wise system of governance, based on a deep reading of classical and medieval history as well as Renaissance philosophy. However, none of this matters if no system of force is in place to keep and defend the Constitution.
Next-Gen Stealth Drone Spotted Over Area 51 Airspace
(Tyler Durden) The latest photo of what appears to be the Northrop Grumman RQ-180 stealth flying-wing surveillance aircraft was posted on Oct. 31 by Dreamlandresort.com website, according to The War Zone.
Microsoft Warns: Russian Hacking Group Behind SolarWinds Attack Is Targeting Global IT Supply Chain
(Sophie Mann) Microsoft has warned that the group behind the SolarWinds cyberattack has launched a campaign against the global IT supply chain, primarily targeting companies that resell and provide cloud technology.
Robot Dogs Are Now Being Equipped with Assault Rifles for Military Use
(Mary Villareal) Ghost Robotics, maker of four-legged robots for the military, has teamed up with SWORD International to build a mechanical dog that is capable of carrying a remote-controlled rifle on its back.
These Countries Have an Internet Kill Switch … And They Admit It
(Aden Tate) What do you suppose would happen if the President of the United States deemed it necessary, for “national security,” to flip the Internet Kill Switch? In these digital times, there should be great concern over something like this. However, normalcy bias seems to have a firm hold on a majority of the citizens of the US, and many are clinging to the “it can’t happen here” theory.
5G EMF RF: The New Free EMF Health App — What Health Effects Are Associated with My EMF Meter Readings?
(Patricia Burke) Although EMF testing is fairly simple, understanding the readings on an EMF meter is a bit tricky. These meters use scientific units, which can be incomprehensible to the general population as they’re not something that we use in our day-to-day lives.
Personal Tracking Devices Moving Toward A “Dangerous” New Era
(Tyler Durden) Tracking devices can sometimes be useful: you can attach one to your phone or wallet and know where it is at all times, for example.
Pay-by-Palm: Just an Innocent Technology to Make Life Easier?
(Aden Tate) Looks like the folks at Amazon have taken up palm reading with the recent rollout of Amazon One, a pay-by-palm technology.
The ‘Elite’ Are Building Remote Doomsday Mansions
(Humans Are Free) Billionaires are buying high tech bunkers in places far away from large population centers.
Discovery: Luminescent “Windows” Could Transform Light Into Power
(Divina Ramirez) Engineers from Rice University in Houston developed a novel method of generating power through the use of glowing “windows” that redirect light to the solar cells lining their edges. The windows, known as luminescent solar concentrates (LSCs), are composed of a conjugated polymer sandwiched between two acrylic panels.
Unexplained Excess Mass in Human Chromosomes Puzzles Scientists
(Evangelyn Rodriguez) Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, only one of which determines a person’s sex-linked characteristics. The remaining 22 pairs contain bundles of genetic instructions that help determine the other, non-sex-related traits. Since the discovery of DNA, researchers have endeavored to learn all there is to know about these coded sequences, including how much they weigh. The Human Genome Project, which was launched in 1990, provided an answer to this. But in a new study published in the journal Chromosome Research, British researchers discovered that the mass of human chromosomes, which house all of a person’s DNA, far exceeds theoretical values. Even after accounting for all other components (i.e., histone proteins), all 46 chromosomes still weighed considerably more than the DNA they contained.
The FBI Is Now Tracking the Location of Cars Using Controversial Technology
(Kipp Jones, The Western Journal) The FBI is now using built-in WiFi hotspots in cars to track people as new technologies give the surveillance state more avenues for hunting people down and monitoring their movements.
No Longer Science Fiction: Graphene-Based Brain Control Technology Announced (Graphene Oxide in Covid Vaccines?)
(Humans are Free) With an increasing number of people becoming aware of graphene oxide being identified in covid vaccines, a company called INBRAIN Neuroelectronics demonstrates that graphene-based “neuromodulation” technology using AI-powered neuroelectronics is very real.
#UNRIG: Reject the Corporate State’s ‘Permanent Emergency’ (Lessons From 9/11)
