Resisting Law Enforcement’s Siren Song: A Call for Cryptographers to Improve Trust and Security
*This is part of a series of essays from the Crypto 2018 Workshop on Encryption and Surveillance.* The world is waking up to something that digital security experts have known for a very long time: Digital security is hard. Really hard. And the larger and more complex the systems, the more difficult it is to plug all the security holes and make them secure and trustworthy. Yet security is also increasingly important in systems ranging from the smartphones in our hands to our power grids. So why isn’t everyone—especially the governments of the Five Eyes countries—promoting, support... more »
Chris’ Walkaway—voted twice for Obama
I don’t know if I was ever really a liberal person. Just remembering how I was brought up in the black community, and in the church I was definitely raised with mostly conservative values. As I grew up, and began to come into my own as a young man I knew something wasn’t right about certain aspects of being a liberal. First and foremost I love GOD! I’m a capitalist, I’m pro life, love low taxes, hate socialism, hate government overreach, and I’m a 2nd Amendment supporter. I voted for Obama twice, he was a complete and utter failure to this country. For the 2012 election I actual w... more »
I wonder if she still has a job after coming out for Trump? Valerie walked away in July
I live in a very liberal, far left section of the East Coast and it has become very disheartening. When I saw this group [WalkAway], I breathed the biggest sigh of relief that must have been heard from miles away. I am a registered Democrat, mom, volunteer/advocate for suicide prevention and am in my 22nd year of teaching blind and visually impaired children. Prior to the election and a few months afterwards, I would engage in debate but then realized it was fruitless. The hurled insults at my family, friends and I, because of our political views, support, choices, etc., were appl...more »
CNN lets Marc Lamont Hill go
. . . “grass-roots action, local action and international action that will give us what justice requires and that is a free Palestine from the river to the sea.” Marc Lamont Hill denies he was calling for the destruction of Israel, which just happens to be the land between the river and the sea and a phrase used by terrorists. CNN let him go, but since all these things are written and vetted before the on air ridiculousness that passes for news at CNN, perhaps there are a few others who need to go too? He was calling for jihad and won't admit it. Says he just can't understand how p...more »
TRIBAL FICTIONS: Cauterucci gets it right!
*FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2018Maddow gets it wrong:* This morning, we come to praise the new piece in Slate by Christina Cauterucci. This morning, Cauterucci's aim is true. She writes beneath these headlines: *There Will Never Be an Honest Conversation About Nancy Pelosi as a Political Leader* Sexism doesn’t just harm women in politics. It also poisons political analysis. We don't necessarily agree with every word or with every implication. But Cauterucci—she describes herself as "a writer on the women and gender beat"—starts in a very unusual way, criticizing types of work done withi... more »
Security In Iraq Nov 22-28, 2018
(Shafaaq News) Violence continued to decline across Iraq at the end of November. There were the fewest reported incidents in any week of the year during the fourth week of the month. From November 22-28 only 28 incidents were reported in Iraq. That was the lowest figure in 2018. The previous low was 31 incidents from October 21-28. No province was in double figures in incidents with Diyala leading the country with 8. For most weeks Baghdad has had the most incidents, but this time it was third with just 5. *Security Incidents In Iraq By Province Nov 22-28, 2018* Anbar 1 Basra 1... more »

The Aircraft Carrier Is In Danger Of Becoming the Next Battleship (As in Obsolete)
*Task and Purpose, Carl Forsling* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/usnavy/6985411433/sizes/o/] Against any near-peer adversary, aircraft carriers are far too vulnerable to be of much use. Last December, for the first time in decades, no U.S. Navy aircraft carriers were deployed anywhere in the world. The Navy says to expect that to happen more often. Some news outlets implied this was an indication of U.S. naval decline. The U.S. fleet does have problems, but not having enough carriers to cycle through U.S. Central Command is far from the biggest one. Aircr... more »

*Henry M. Paulson Jr.* *China, United States China* Beijing is viewed—by a growing consensus—not just as a strategic challenge to Washington but as a country whose rise has come at our expense.

Nightmare: How the War in Ukraine Could Go Regional
*Robert Legvold* *Russia Ukraine, Eastern Europe* Remember World War I? No one wants war, but this is how one gets a war. Two angry states are poking and probing at the flammable edges of an extended war zone, each acting in what it believes is a controlled fashion with little risk of escalation, but each ready to risk the next step if the price of retreat seems too high. Here begins the chain of actions and reactions coupled with miscalculations leading to a conflagration neither wants or expects.

Recent months have witnessed the militarization of the Sea of Azov, which the strait links to the Black Sea, as Russia seeks to dominate the body of water it shares with Ukraine and the latter resists. Russian forces have harassed Ukrainian ... more »
Methods To the Political Madness
The blockbuster story of the week (in my opinion) is that Rhode Island students have filed a federal lawsuit charging that their public school system's failure to provide them with basic instruction in government and civics is a direct violation of their Constitutional rights as American citizens. Donald Trump certainly isn't the only overlord who "loves the uneducated," and who has a vested interest in keeping the population dumbed down and perpetually ignorant and apathetic, and even beginning to die off at an alarming new rate. Indeed, you have to search very hard to find the *... more »
A treat for Peter Sellers fans, if you're quick
I note that the 1974 Peter Sellers comedy film "Soft Beds, Hard Battles" is currently on YouTube. I've no idea how long it'll stay there, but if you haven't seen it, it's good for a giggle. Wikipedia describes it as follows: Set in Nazi-occupied France, the story follows Major Robinson of the British Army. Installing himself at a Parisian brothel, he assists the French resistance and works with Madame Grenier and her girls who find themselves eliminating high ranking German officers (using ingenious rigged beds and killer flatulence pills) right under the noses of the Gestapo.

Caroline Mulroney's dream is dead.

But, after being elected, it fell to Mulroney to defend Doug Ford's decisions -- the latest being on French minority rights: The latest blow to the dream came two weeks ago when Premier Doug Ford’s government announced it was eliminating the position of French Language Services Commis... more »

In 1901, however, a request by the Canadian government to purchase 15,000 Lee-Enfield Mark I rifles from Britain was denied. The British were in the process of upgrading and replacing rifles used in the Boer War, and with first priority given to arming their own troops, there were no rifles to spare at the moment for the North American commonwealth. This rankled Canadians. It was a time of growing nationalist sentiment; many felt... more »

Nozick's Critique of The Randian Argument

To establish selfishness as a virtue, Rand has argued that: 1. Life is the ultimate value that makes all values possible. 2. It is therefore irrational for a living being not to defend and further his life above all other values. 3. This leads to the conclusion that no man should sacrifice his life for another and that it is moral to l... more »

The Halfway Mark In The Worst U.S. Administration Ever-- As Trump Skips Off To Meet With Putin

While in Argentina, I doubt Trump will be thinking about a CNN report showing that despite a strong economy-- at strong least on paper-- the number of uninsured children in America has grown, an unprecedented reversa... more »

Russia's Su-57 Stealth Fighter Is No Game Changer
*David Axe* *Security, Europe* A fancy photo shoot can't reverse an economic slump, nor can it magically conjure hundreds of new stealth fighters. Russia's Su-57 might be a media star. But it's on track to play no meaningful role in Moscow's military strategy. The Russian defense ministry staged an impressive video shoot with four of its Su-57 stealth fighter prototypes. But the dramatic display doesn't make the Su-57 any more relevant. The Su-57 is beautiful. It's also too expensive for Russia to buy in meaningful numbers.
