Homeland Security Calls Bitcoin an "Emerging Threat"
Activist Post
The popularity of the digital currency Bitcoin is exploding. Today's price spiked over $600, nearly double what is was just over a week ago. It seems the U.S. government now wants into the party.
Today several federal agencies weighed in on the decentralized currency. While most agencies acknowledged its legitimate uses, the Department of Homeland Security referred to Bitcoin as an emerging threat.
In a letter to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, DHS wrote that they have "been actively investigating the emerging threat and criminal exploitation of virtual currency systems that further transnational criminal operations."
DHS blamed "anonymity in cyberspace" and called for an aggressive posture to deal with bitcoin and other crypto-currencies. read

Let America Be America Again
Sure, call me any ugly name you choose--
The steel of freedom does not stain.
From those who live like leeches on the people's lives,
We must take back our land again,
America!
O, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath--
America will be!

Anonymous hacker and activist Jeremy
Hammond was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Friday. Among the
services Hammond provided to those of us seeking to fight back against
the security and surveillance state included key evidence in the civil
suit brought by Christopher Hedges and Alexa O'Brien against Barack
Obama over Section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act.
In addition to the Jeremy Hammond case, we also cover the following stories:
The 2013 Drone Summit
The UN Climate Conference in Warsaw, Poland
Fighting Tar Sands in New England
MSNBC's LEAN FORWARD Campaign Cozies Up To Fracking
***
In his sentencing statement, Hammond said:
"The acts of civil disobedience and direct action that I am being sentenced for today are in line with the principles of community and equality that have guided my life. I hacked into dozens of high profile corporations and government institutions, understanding very clearly that what I was doing was against the law, and that my actions could land me back in federal prison. But I felt that I had an obligation to use my skills to expose and confront injustice—and to bring the truth to light.
Could I have achieved the same goals through legal means? I have tried everything from voting petitions to peaceful protest and have found that those in power do not want the truth to be exposed. When we speak truth to power we are ignored at best and brutally suppressed at worst. We are confronting a power structure that does not respect its own system of checks and balances, never mind the rights of it's own citizens or the international community."

Cops Kill 8 Times More Americans Than Terrorists Do
Dave HodgesActivist Post
Many people have noticed that several of the local police officers, particularly the younger ones are more gruff, rude and even abusive as compared to the past. Many veteran officers attribute the shift towards DHS’ training of local police which focuses on teaching the police that the public is their enemy as opposed to the traditional view that teaches that the local population and the police are partners in keeping the community safe.
Whatever happened to the friendly neighborhood cop who walked a beat, was well-known and respected by the local residents and was seen as the protector of the neighborhood? Far too often, that cop has been replaced by thugs wearing camouflage, bank robber type black ski masks who are armed with automatic weapons and sometimes even break down the doors of people who are innocent.
Meaner than most, detest mistrust more than most, honesty gets me in trouble.....maybe you can deter the truth man............a mighty volume is coming in a day or in a minute..i am ready r u? gosh what can i say? I love all things............even the psychopaths..........'sposed to GI custom'.........inside here.
