What information can remote neural monitoring pick up?
Remote neural monitoring is one of those things that “everyone knows” either can’t possibly exist, or is never used against middle aged nobodies.
Remote neural monitoring, described briefly in theElectronic Harassment section, has a few advantages over traditional forms of surveillance. First, it is “passive” – meaning the listener does not have to risk detection by probing the target’s area or placing electronic listening devices in his vicinity. Second, the electromagnetic activity being monitored is at low frequencies, meaning the radio waves pass through most obstacles and hundreds of miles of atmosphere with little interference. Third, the surveillance picks up high quality and real-time information about the person of interest’s location, focus of attention, and plans; it is an essential tool in psychological warfare campaigns directed at a single person.

Today and tomorrow I’ll hopefully make peace with my curiosity about WikiLeaks and the accusation that it disclosed the names and locations of Afghan informants serving the U.S. and coalition forces.

California's Loyalty Oath
I just had to sign a loyalty oath as a condition of my employment at a California state university. The California constitution requires all state employees to sign the oath.

Sexuality and the Revival of Scientific Determinism _Rw005g
Scientific Determinism has left the field of eugenics and race and invaded the sphere of sex, money and relationships.
Everywhere I go, I find books that say that human beings are "wired" to cheat, that promiscuity is "ingrained in our genetic code" as are our tendencies to cheat, steal, bully and lie. Selfishness is proclaimed the most natural and virtuous of tendencies. The excesses of the CEOs of countless greedy companies and the dictators of countless petty states are rationalized and supported as being the inevitable product of our genetic code. "Greed is Good," said Gordon Gecko. Oliver Stone meant this as irony, but for many it was gospel.
Yet the age-old question remains. Should society embrace and give greater voice to the inner-nature of the human animal, or should culture and institutions be created to defeat these tendencies, tendencies which can be self-destructive and nihilistic at the macro, tribal level? Isn't this what Sigmund Freud had in mind when he wrote "Civilization and its Discontents?"
Was Freud correct to believe that over-reliance on scientific determinism is an excuse for ignoring social convention and rules in an effort to satiate the individual ego?

Is Capitalism Doomed? - Part III - Dr Stuart Jeanne Bramhall
Hat Tip see what happens, when you starve public education?
In The Coming Struggle for Power, Strachey also writes about the important role of fascism associated with end stage capitalism. He explains how declining profits and growth will result in reduced wages, poorer working conditions and a claw back of social welfare benefits enacted during more productive periods. This, in turn, leads to more conflict between workers and capitalists, at the same time that capitalist controlled governments are experiencing increasing conflict with foreign capitalist controlled governments.
According to Strachey, ensuring that production continues during a period of heavy stagnation necessitates the rise of fascism – in which the capitalists themselves organize workers to install governments which enact laws unfavorable to working people.
