If you go out in the streets today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go out in the streets today
There's cops in black bloc disguise
And every cop that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the copper bears have their picnic.

A group of intelligence agents who worked at Makyhelados ice-cream factory undercover for Colombian DAS were arrested in the town of Barinitas in Venezuela in April. The group was headed by Luis Carlos Cossio, who has dual Colombian-Canadian citizenship. Transportation of goods to the most distant areas of the country offered him unique opportunities for espionage.
Cossio was arrested by the Venezuelan police after he had been seen taking photographs of electricity substations, transmission systems and highways. Frequent cases of sabotage resulted in tight security measures at the country’s energy infrastructure. The police searched Cossio’s house and discovered some 100,000 digital photos which are said to have been transmitted to Colombia via satellite and were addressed to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
( Intelligence targets such to destroy a country's ability to maintain hospitals,sewage,water treatment,teaching institutions, etc. For Iran,Cuba,North Korea,etc., Blockade - an act of war - is the strategy of choice to destroy government, regardless of the actual means used to achieve that end. )

Microsoft Calling. Anyone There?
The vast majority of technology start-ups today rely on open-source software, distributed by Microsoft competitors, for the core parts of their technology infrastructure.

Illinois facing 'outright disaster' amid budget crisis
Illinois’s comptroller, Daniel W. Hynes, faces an ugly balance sheet. Precisely how ugly becomes clear when he beckons you into his office to examine his daily briefing memo.
He picks the papers off his desk and points to a figure in red: $5.01 billion.“This is what the state owes right now to schools, rehabilitation centers, child care, the state university — and it’s getting worse every single day,” he says in his downtown office.
Mr. Hynes shakes his head. “This is not some esoteric budget issue; we are not paying bills for absolutely essential services,” he says. “That is obscene.”
