Soul Train: Don Cornelius Resting In Love, Peace, and Soul
It was ruled a suicide, as dubious theories abound of his motivation. But none of these account for why an icon of black history would choose the first day of this month - Black History Month - to commit suicide...

Mankind to be engineered by techno-elites
Ever lagging several steps behind the curve...
Guardian: Bill Gates backs climate scientists lobbying for large-scale geoengineering
Bill Gates appears to be oblivious to a growing wariness among the intelligensia of the unintended consequences of geoengineering (much as he has been oblivious to the unintended bugs that have plagued Microsoft's Windows operating system over the years). Instead, a new solution to the "crisis" is to be proposed in the Summer issue of Ethics, Policy, and Environment by authors Matthew Liao, Anders Sandberg, and Rebecca Roache in a paper titled Human Engineering and Climate Change. We have the abstract...
Anthropogenic climate change is arguably one of the biggest problems that confront us today. There is ample evidence that climate change is likely to affect adversely many aspects of life for all people around the world, and that existing solutions such as geoengineering might be too risky and behavioural and market solutions might not be sufficient to mitigate climate change. In this paper, we consider a new kind of solution to climate change, what we call human engineering, which involves biomedical modifications of humans so that they can mitigate and/or adapt to climate change. We argue that human engineering is potentially less risky than geoengineering and that could help behavioural and market solutions succeed in mitigating climate change. We also consider some possible ethical concerns regarding human engineering such as its safety, the implications of human engineering for our children and for the society, and we argue that these concerns can be addressed. Our upshot is that human engineering deserves further consideration in the debate about climate change.
Leaving aside for the moment the issue that the premise of the entire argument is questionable, as the population of global warming skeptics grows...
Spiegel:'I Feel Duped on Climate Change'
Ignore that. The problem remains as to how to go about persuading people to want to be bio-engineered. This is the task of a program at Eindhoven Technische Universiteit...
Persuasive Technology, Allocation of Control, and Social Values
Social values can be in conflict with the interests or preferences of individual persons. Sustainability, for example, is widely viewed as crucial for our future. At the same time it is recognized that technology alone cannot bring about a sustainable society. Individual agents need to change their behavior as well. How do we motivate agents such that they realize our social values, even when these values conflict with their own private interests? This is where persuasive technology comes into the picture. It aims at persuading human agents to behave in socially-valued ways, by giving information, providing feedback, and taking over actions...
(Our emphasis) And what form might human engineering take?...

Salon: Two lessons from the Megaupload seizure
Congratulations, citizens, on your cute little “democracy” victory in denying us the power to shut down websites without a trial: we’re now going to shut down one of your most popular websites without a trial.
It only goes to show that in the pantomimed republic, Congressional action is simply an afterthought. With NDAA 2012 it gave its nod to the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens, a policy that had been practiced in the Bush years, and which Obama has already escalated to a new level with the due-process-free assassination of Anwar Awlaki. And with SOPA/PIPA, had they passed, these would only have acknowledged what Obama had already signed in ACTA...

Pravda: Vicious Ukrainian feminists work against USA's enemies
A scandal is brewing between Ukraine and Belarus caused by the campaign of the notorious Ukrainian women's movement FEMEN in front of the KGB building...
The scandalous campaign in front of the KGB in Minsk took place on December 19, the anniversary of the presidential election won by Alexander Lukashenko. Activists of FEMEN (three Ukrainian women and their friend from Australia) protested against the detention of political prisoners in Belarusian jails. The naked women were detained, and for some time there was no information about their fate.
It soon became clear that the Australian was sent to Lithuania. The Ukrainians were thrown in a forest in the Gomel region. The movement's leader Anna Gutsol said that they were beaten, their hair was cut with a knife and they were threatened to be set on fire, and their documents were seized. Somehow they made it to the neighboring village. Finally, the Ukrainian diplomat came to pick them up and took them in Kiev in his car. Chairman of the KGB of Belarus Vadim Zaitsev described the situation with FEMEN as a provocation...

What happens when another country's child grows up to be Commander in Chief? As Alexander Hamilton expresses it, a foreign power may gain "an improper ascendant in our councils.

PressTV: US terror drone, Kenya strike Somalia
Thus, demonstrating the cogent rational for the constitutional requirement that POTUS be a "natural born citizen": born under U.S. jurisdiction to parents, both of whom are American citizens. Of course, it's not too much of a worry that Obama could become a pawn to Kenyan interests; but, as we argued in Compromised by Birth, the record of his foreign citizenship, and moreover of his dubious identity, could be exploited by any ulterior interest, be it foreign (i.e. British or Israeli) or domestic (i.e. military-industrial complex or financial oligarchy) to steer his policy making against the interests of the vast majority of Americans. He must have known that his presidency, and the legacy by which he will be remembered, could never be his own - if he ever wished to be highly regarded by his fellow Americans and their posterity. Yet he went ahead and snatched the hollow prize. How could he? We cannot begin to attempt to answer this, but will leave it to the psychological profilers at...

On the other hand, it could be that he is a natural born citizen if he is in fact the bastard son of a yet to be identified U.S. citizen. There is a case to be made that Barack H. Obama Sr. is not the natural father of the boy that grew up to be Barack H. Obama Jr., with a smorgasborg of theories as to who his real father is, from Frank Marshal Davis to Paul Robeson to Malcolm X. Of course, if one of the above were his father, we'd wager that each would be ashamed to call him son today, for reasons we have been documenting for some time.
We have already dealt with the alleged Frank Marshal Davis paternity in our Sex Rebel: Black review. As for a Paul Robeson or Malcolm X paternity, we doubt it; but for the sake of entertaining these hypotheses...
