War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Once again it’s already middle of the week — time flies when shit runs supreme. And a lot of it does stick to the wall. Another foggy early morning here on California’s north coast as I wade through the current news cycle, seeking whatever sticks to that proverbial wall and most of it ain’t funny,…
Foggy and a bit on the drizzly side this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — we’ve a 30 percent chance for more rain today, but the sun will peek out sometime later, somehow it always does. And despite a shitload of other news happening, the NSA escapade also somehow peeks its nefarious face out…
Ground fog and way-oddly quiet this here-already Monday morning along California’s north coast, and the Pacific Ocean only a mile or so away, can’t be heard at all — usually there’s at least a muted roar from the west. In the still of near-silence, an image of a world far, far away. Yet the imagination…
This seemed appropriate: The radar is picking up a line of thundershowers which extends from a point 9 miles NNE of Sicorgus, New Jersey, along a line and 6 miles either side of the line to a point 5 miles SSW of Fonduloch. However, the radar is also picking up a squadron of Russian ICBMs……
(Illustration found here). A kind of shaker coming in the wake of the NSA/Internet/surveillance weirdness is the news today of someone pulling off a “sophisticated” hack late last year of CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson’s computer devices, and the attack didn’t appear random. Via the Washington Post: In a statement Friday, CBS did not identify…
Another dark, gloomy and overcast morning here on California’s north coast, though, as a Thursday, we’re much closer to the weekend than we were yesterday. Which does say something, but what? And as times passes, Americans view NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in a different light: Roughly one in three Americans say the former security contractor…
Overcast and quiet this early Tuesday on California’s coast, and despite some breaks in the cloud cover, there’s no view of the mysterious Gamma Delphinid meteor shower expected to pass earth this morning. Somebody will shoot it with a camera, for sure. And in the midst of all that NSA travail this week, a horrible shooting…
High overcast with a slightly-chilled wind this way-early Monday as we carrom into another new work week, leaving behind the rat-tailed dump of private-first-class droppings — or what’s now called, ‘Boundless Informant.’ Apparently, there’s no bottom to the data suck. On Saturday, the UK’s Guardian revealed the NSA whistleblower as American citizen Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old…
A little overcast, and a bit more chilly this Sunday morning on California’s north coast, and already I’ve been drinking in enough InterWeb-shit on leaking bad stuff and whistleblowers in general, making the pointing out of a crime, worse than the crime itself. And right-off the bat (via HuffPost): Confirmation that the NSA filed a…
High overcast again this early Thursday on California’s north coast and life continues impeded by all kinds of nefarious workings unseen for the most part — or heard. This morning, the InterWebs are chunked-full of miniscule details of the cellphone party-line established by our government to keep tabs on terror. Another legacy from George Jr.,…
