Does perfect Citizen sound Intrusive ? YEP !
But at the same time , something needs to be done about the constant Cyber attacks on the U.S. , But you would have to expect with the Obama Administration leading this one , The Internet is Screwed !
Foxnews
The U.S. government is launching an expansive program dubbed "Perfect Citizen" to detect cyber assaults on private companies and government agencies running critical infrastructure such as the electricity grid and nuclear-power plants, The Wall Street Journal reported late Wednesday.
U.S. intelligence officials have grown increasingly alarmed about what they believe to be Chinese and Russian surveillance of computer systems that control the electric grid and other U.S. infrastructure.
Officials are unable to describe the full scope of the problem, however, because they have had limited ability to pull together all the private data.
Perfect Citizen will look at large, typically older computer control systems that were often designed without Internet connectivity or security in mind.
Many of those systems -- which run everything from subway systems to air-traffic control networks -- have since been linked to the Internet, making them more efficient but also exposing them to cyber attack.
The surveillance by the National Security Agency, the government's chief eavesdropping agency, would rely on a set of sensors deployed in computer networks for critical infrastructure
that would be triggered by unusual activity suggesting an impending cyber attack, though it wouldn't persistently monitor the whole system, according to people familiar with the program.
Defense contractor Raytheon Corp. recently won a classified contract for the initial phase of the surveillance effort valued at up to US$100 million, said a person familiar with the project.
A spokeswoman for the NSA said the agency had no information to provide on the program. A Raytheon spokesman declined to comment.
Some industry and government officials familiar with the program see Perfect Citizen as an intrusion by the NSA into domestic affairs, while others say it is an important program to combat an emerging security threat that only the NSA is equipped to provide.

Three held in Norway 'al-Qaeda bomb plot'
Ms Kristiansen said the arrests had been brought forward because news of the probe was about to appear in the international media.
It's disgusting to hear that the Media everywhere are willing to disrupt an investigation into Al Qaida Operatives , just for a story !
The willingness to expose the systems in place that are there for the Security of the People , to keep them safe from Terrorists , to me is the same as working for the Enemy .
BBC
Three people have been arrested in connection with a plot to bomb targets in Norway, police in Oslo have said.
Two of the plotters were arrested in Norway and one in Germany, said the head of the Norwegian security police, Janne Kristiansen.
The men - a Uighur from China, an Iraqi and an Uzbek - are said to have ties to al-Qaeda and to be linked to bomb plots in the US and UK, Ms Kristiansen said.
The three, all Norwegian residents, had been under surveillance for a year.
US prosecutors say the Norwegian case is linked to foiled bomb plots in New York and the English city of Manchester.
"We believe this group has had links to people abroad who can be linked to al-Qaeda, and to people who are involved in investigations in other countries, among others the United States and Britain," Ms Kristiansen said.
She said one of the men was a Norwegian citizen, 39, a Muslim Uighur from China, who had lived in Norway since 1999.
Another was an Iraqi citizen, 37, who was granted Norwegian residency on humanitarian grounds.
The third man was an Uzbek national, 31, who was granted permanent residency in Norway on grounds of family reunification, Ms Kristiansen said.

36 Iraqi Shi'ite pilgrims killed by bombers
And today we have another showing of tolerance from the Religion of peace !
36 Muslim Pilgrims on their way to a Islamic shrine were sploded up into pieces by some of their own countrymen !
Ah , how pieceful , Muslim Killing Muslim .
(Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed at least 30 Iraqi Shi'ite pilgrims on Wednesday en route to a shrine and wounded 75, while a roadside bomb killed another six despite heavy security during a religious rite, security sources said.
The suicide bombing took place just short of a bridge where 1,000 Shi'ite pilgrims died in a stampede during the same festival in 2005 after hearing rumors of a bomb.
The attacker was wearing a belt full of explosives, a police source said. Suicide bombings are often a hallmark of Sunni Islamist al Qaeda, which regards Shi'ite Muslims as apostates.
The roadside bomb in the western district of Harithiya, a mainly Sunni area that the Shi'ite pilgrims walk through to get to the Imam Moussa al-Kadhim shrine, killed six and wounded 30, an Interior Ministry source said.

Arizona immigration law sponsor blasts feds over 'political' lawsuit
If it is about racial Profiling , How come it was not in the Lawsuit against Arizona ?
Foxnews
(CNN) -- The Arizona lawmaker who sponsored the state's controversial new immigration law blasted Tuesday's lawsuit by the Justice Department, saying, "The misinformation out there is outrageous."
Appearing on CNN's "Campbell Brown" hours after the suit against the state was filed, Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce, a Republican, said, "The Obama administration simply is filing suit, a political lawsuit if you will, (be)cause they have no leg to stand on."
"They are simply trying to enforce their current policy of no enforcement and amnesty. That's what it's about. They're not worried about (racial) profiling and this bill prohibits it," Pearce said.
State Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat, disagreed, telling Brown, "The Department of Justice has the clear authority and legal right to bring suit, even before the law is implemented. This law presents a great challenge and really interesting legal question for our whole country, and hopefully this lawsuit can provide some clarity... so we can know where the state authority ends in terms of implementing immigration reform and where federal authority begins."
Asked by Brown about complaints from some Arizona police agencies about the new law, Pearce dismissed the criticism as "fabrications."
"Nine out of 15 sheriffs endorse this bill," Pearce explained. "The state Fraternal Order of Police endorses this bill. The Border Patrol Association endorses this bill... the police chiefs don't endorse it because they work for open-border mayors, sanctuary mayors who always stated they don't want to enforce the law," Pearce said.
The law, signed by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer in April, is considered the toughest legislation in the United States dealing with illegal immigration.

Illegal Immigration Costs U.S. $113 Billion a Year, Study Finds
$113 Billion Dollars !
That's a lot of Tax Dollars that could be put to use elsewhere , but it does not seem to be an Issue for the Pro Immigration Crowd .
But if we take the Illegal immigrants out of the Picture What are these people to do with their Farms ? how are the Whacky liberals going to get all them votes ?
we cant do anything about immigration because of these issues .
Illegal immigrants hold 2.8 Million Jobs in the United States , and we are constantly told that NO U.S. CITIZENS , want these jobs !
How does anyone know this when Illegal Immigrants have been taking these jobs for decades , and Mainly because they are willing to undercut Minimum wage workers !
No Immigrants mean less money and less votes , and these people are willing to sacrifice America and it's workers because of this !
Foxnews
The cost of harboring illegal immigrants in the United States is a staggering $113 billion a year -- an average of $1,117 for every “native-headed” household in America -- according to a study conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
The study, a copy of which was provided to FoxNews.com, “is the first and most detailed look at the costs of illegal immigration ever done,” says Bob Dane, director of communications at FAIR, a conservative organization that seeks to end almost all immigration to the U.S.
FAIR's opponents in the bitter immigration debate describe the organization as "extremist," though it is regularly called upon to testify before Congress.
Groups that support immigration reform immediately attacked FAIR's report and pointed out that it is the polar opposite of the Perryman Report, a 2008 study paid for by a liberal group now called the American Immigration Council. That study found that illegal immigration was actually a boon to the American economy. It estimated that illegal immigrants add $245 billion in Gross Domestic Product to the economy and account for 2.8 million jobs.
The FAIR report comes as President Obama moves immigration reform to the top of his agenda, and it is likely to be a rallying point for those who oppose the president. At a speech Thursday at American University in Washington, D.C., Obama argued that the entire immigration system is broken and needs sweeping reforms. Among the changes he said are needed is "a path for [farm] workers to earn legal status," which the president's critics called an opening for a new amnesty program.
FAIR's report argues that there are two choices in the immigration debate: “One choice is pursuing a strategy that discourages future illegal migration and increasingly diminishes the current illegal alien population through denial of job opportunities
and deportations. The other choice,” it says, “would repeat the unfortunate decision made in 1986 to adopt an amnesty that invited continued illegal migration.”

Imam entangled in terrorism case deported
Takiyya means "caution, fear, or disguise." It permits the suspension, as the need arises, of almost any or all religious requirements--including a total denial of faith--when fearing threat, injury or compulsion of any kind in a non-Muslim society, or even in a Muslim society.
Muhammad said: "Lying is wrong, except in three things: the lie of a man to his wife to make her content with him; a lie to an enemy, for war is deception; or a lie to settle trouble between people" [Ahmad, 6.459. H]
"If you [Muslims] are under their [infidels'] authority, fearing for yourselves, behave loyally to them, with your tongue, while harboring inner animosity for them. … Allah has forbidden believers from being friendly or on intimate terms with the infidels in place of believers — except when infidels are above them [in authority]. In such a scenario, let them act friendly towards them." Regarding 3:28,

NEW YORK - An imam who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during the investigation into a suicide bomb plot against New York City subway stations has been deported.
The lawyer for Ahmad Afzali (AKH'-mahd ahf-ZAH'-lee) says Afzali and his wife left on a Saudi Arabian Airlines flight to Jeddah on Monday afternoon. Two immigration agents accompanied him to the plane to ensure he got on. Afzali's lawyer says some of Afzali's last words on U.S. ground were: God bless America.'
Afzali's wife Fatima got a position teaching English in Saudi Arabia. Afzali isn't quite sure what he's going to do there. The Afghanistan-born imam has lived most of his life in Queens.
He was sentenced April 15 to time served and deportation. Najibullah Zazi pleaded guilty in plot disrupted by federal and NYPD officials.

East African leaders urge UN to provide Somalia force
And again the U.N. is powerless to do anything here , mainly because they will never be able to get a "coalition" of countries to send troops into Somalia .
Why should anyone bother , when the U.N and the Somali Government are not willing to take the actions necessary to stop the Violence ?
That is Kill And eradicate Al Qaida and Al Shabaab !
BBC
East African leaders have renewed their calls to the UN to replace the beleaguered African Union (AU) peacekeeping mission in Somalia.
At a meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Somalia's president said a radical strategy to end almost two decades of crisis in the country was needed.
The leaders of the regional grouping Igad also agreed to deploy 2,000 more AU peacekeepers to help the government.
AU troops have been battling Islamists who control most of southern Somalia.
The UN-backed government only runs a few parts of the capital, Mogadishu.
Fighting continued in Mogadishu while the summit was being held, with at least five people killed when militants attacked government positions in the north of the city, officials say.

Probert dead after collapsing in boat
Sad to see Him go , a lot of people did not like him for some of his off ice activities , but man did he beat the shit out of people on the Ice !
RIP , Man !
RedWings.nhl.com
DETROIT – Bob Probert, the beloved enforcer for the Red Wings in the late 1980s through the mid-90s, died Monday afternoon after collapsing on a boat in Lake St. Clair.
Essex County Media Relations Officer Shawna Coulter confirmed early Monday evening that the Lakeshore office of the Ontario Provincial Police received a distress call at 2:55 p.m. EDT of a person needing medical transport. Probert, 45, was taken to shore near the Edgewater Shoreline and wisked by ambulance to Windsor Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Coulter said.
A southern part of the Canadian province of Ontario and Michigan are separated by Lake St. Clair, which at its southern end spills into the Detroit River that divides Windsor from Detroit.
Remembered for his long-reach and ferocious attitude in the crease area, Probert was one tough competitor, the likes not seen in the NHL since. He played 16 NHL seasons, including nine with the Red Wings, the team that made the Windsor native a third-round draft pick in 1983. He was an All-Star in 1988 retired in 2002 with 3,300 penalty minutes.

Local elections in Mexico marred by violence, intimidation
But the vote went on , I just am Curious though , How many of the 15 to 20 Million Illegal Undocumented Aliens within the United States actually went to vote ?
Probably none of them , yet these are the same people that are screaming for a voice in The United States !
I know it is a Stupid Question , But It is a point non the less !
The LA Times
Far beyond the results themselves, Sunday's elections in nearly half the nation were a test of whether drug cartels have been able to so frighten voters that the very democratic process is threatened. Four of the states picking governors Sunday — Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Durango and Tamaulipas — are among the country's deadliest.
A number of polling stations did not open and scores of election workers, mainly in Tamaulipas, were afraid to show up. Some candidates cast ballots in body armor with guards in tow, and army patrols with heavy firepower were deployed in several states to protect voters.
In the violent border state of Chihuahua, four bodies were found hung Sunday morning from different bridges, an ominous, but increasingly common, message from drug traffickers. One was identified as a prison warden.
"We are very concerned about the violence and especially whether it stops people from going out to vote," Sen. Manlio Fabio Beltrones, a power broker within the PRI, told The Times.

Hezbollah 'mentor' Fadlallah dies in Lebanon
No not every Muslim is a bad guy , and just because this guy was a progressive in the Islamic world does not he was a sweetheart ! He helped form Hezbollah .
His death just signifies one less Islamic reject walking the Earth !
BBC
Lebanon's top Shia Muslim cleric, seen as a key figure in the founding of militant group Hezbollah, has died at the age of 74.
Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah was regarded as Hezbollah's spiritual guide after the group was founded in 1982, a charge both denied.
An implacable critic of the US, he had a wide following among Shias and backed the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.
But he was known among Shias for his moderate social views.
He held particularly progressive views on the role of women in Islamic society.

Scientists to present car for blind drivers next year
Mr Maurer said he started talking about a car for blind drivers ten years ago.
"Some people thought I was crazy," he said.
Is it just me or is this possibly the most ignorant idea ever thought of ?
It is hard enough to deal with people who can not function behind the wheel of a car Because of Texting ,talking on a phone , reading a paper , putting on makeup ,being old and not being able to see , being a teenager , I'm sure I am missing a few ,
But now we have to worry about Blind people !
This is just insane , Next up , enabling Stephen Hawkings to Drive !
BBC
US Scientists and the National Federation of the Blind are developing a car for the blind and will present a prototype next year.
The vehicle will be fitted with technology that allows a blind person to drive independently, the NFB and Virginia Tech University said.
Non-visual aids include sensors indicating turns in the road via vibrating gloves.
Puffs of compressed air on the face will alert the driver to obstacles.
Other aids to be fitted include a vibrating vest to give feedback on speed and a steering wheel with audio cues and spoken commands indicating the car's direction.

Chicago Approves Tough New Handgun Restrictions
So here we go , 4 days after the supreme court says that we as American citizens are allowed to own a handgun NO MATTER WHAT ! Chicago votes unanimously to ban Handguns everywhere but outside your home , including in gun shops !
WTF , are these Douchenozzles afraid of ? Are they afraid that someone will actually use one IN SELF DEFENSE ? or maybe use one to stop a criminal from committing a crime ?

Foxnews
CHICAGO -- Members of the Chicago City Council have approved what city officials say is the strictest handgun ordinance in the United States.
Friday's 45-0 vote comes four days after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling made it almost certain that Chicago's handgun ban would be overturned. The high court ruled Americans have a right to own a gun for self-defense anywhere they live.
The new city ordinance bans gun shops in Chicago and prohibits gun owners from stepping outside their homes, even onto their porches or garages, with a handgun.

Mexican gang gunfight near US border leaves 21 dead
The cartels having a shootout and killing each other , really is not a big deal , it should be encouraged as long as they don't kill or harm regular people , The same way you would feel encouraged if the Taliban or Al Qaida were to do the same !
But how about these political hits happening down there ? Talk about trying to influence the outcome of their Elections !
BBC
At least 21 people have been killed in a gunfight between two of Mexico's most powerful drug cartels near the border with the US, officials have said.
The incident occurred off a remote dirt track near the city of Nogales, in the northern state of Sonora, they said.
Nine people have been arrested, six of whom were wounded in the confrontation.
Correspondents say gangs are involved in smuggling drugs and people to the US, and have been battling for control of the area - a key trafficking route.
However, they rarely stage such large-scale shootouts, they add.
There was no indication about what specifically triggered Thursday's gunfight between the Sinaloa cartel, led by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, and an offshoot, the Beltran Leyva cartel.
All of the victims were believed to be members of the gangs.
The BBC's Julian Miglierini in Mexico City says the fact that the violence happened only 20km (12 miles) from Arizona will do little to allay US fears that Mexico's unrest is getting increasingly close.
On Wednesday night in the northern border city of Ciudad Juarez, gunmen killed Sandra Salas Garcia, an assistant attorney-general of Chihuahua state, and one of her bodyguards.
Meanwhile, a severed head was reportedly left on Thursday outside the home of the leading candidate for the mayor of Ciudad Juarez, Hector Murgia. Fourteen states will hold elections on Sunday.
For months, candidates have complained of intimidation by the gangs and have been forced to limit their campaigning in high-risk areas.
Rodolfo Torre Cantu, who was running for governor in the north-eastern state of Tamaulipas, was shot dead along with four of his supporters near Ciudad Victoria on Monday.
But how about these political hits happening down there ? Talk about trying to influence the outcome of their Elections !

At least 21 people have been killed in a gunfight between two of Mexico's most powerful drug cartels near the border with the US, officials have said.
The incident occurred off a remote dirt track near the city of Nogales, in the northern state of Sonora, they said.
Nine people have been arrested, six of whom were wounded in the confrontation.
Correspondents say gangs are involved in smuggling drugs and people to the US, and have been battling for control of the area - a key trafficking route.

'How to Make Bomb in Kitchen of Mom' Featured in Al Qaeda's 1st English Magazine

Al Qaeda's first English-language propaganda magazine, designed to encourage would-be terrorists into acts of violence, suffered an inauspicious launch -- with only the first three of the 67 pages legible due to an apparent computer glitch on Thursday.
The online publication, apparently aimed at British and American readers, includes features such as "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom."
Until now, Al Qaeda has relied on Arabic websites to carry its message, but Bruce Riedel, a Brookings Institution scholar and former CIA officer, said the new magazine was intended to build on recent success in the radicalization of Western citizens.
“[It] is clearly intended for the aspiring jihadist in the U.S. or U.K. who may be the next Fort Hood murderer or Times Square bomber,” he said. “The trend we’ve seen in the last year and a half is less global terrorism and much more homegrown domestic terrorism within Muslim communities.”...
The first edition of the magazine, published by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, includes an article by Awlaki entitled ‘May our souls be sacrificed for you’, as well as “a detailed yet short, easy-to-read manual on how to make a bomb using ingredients found in a kitchen."
It also contains part one of a treatise on ‘What to expect in Jihad’ and translated messages from Usama Bin Laden on “how to save the earth,” and his second in command
