Mandatory Government Alerts On Smartphones, Civil Liberties, And The American Citizen As Enemy...

So I just got the below message on my iphone...

Apparently they have added Government alerts for Amber and Emergencies. I just wonder if there isn't just a little bit of NSA code embedded discretely in there somewhere. Our current administration seems much more interested in its own citizens than outside terror sources which we apparently cannot even now post on bus signs. 


So if the government can now "push" alerts out to you, can they now push a query out to your unique device id to gather data, such as your current location, recent phone calls, text messages and emails? 

There is a certain anonymity in big data, your data in a database of hundreds of millions maybe somewhat anonymous. However, given the current administration's propensity to target certain groups of individuals who least resemble sheep, their distrust of individuals who represent the most law abiding group in this country, their willingness to spy not on America's enemies, but citizens who disagree with their "vision" of change, how can we not be suspicious of government adding software to our smartphones? 

A smartphone is a powerful tool for both the individual and the government. The smartphone can be big brother; your location and usage can be known real time, they can listen in on your audio and even access your camera and watch you or perhaps just the inside of your pocket or purse.


We must set limits on what the government can do, they should not have access to this data, our civil rights and civil liberties are at stake, it is time that we just said "no" to this erosion of our privacy and rights.

Nanotech Could Make Humans Immortal By 2040, Futurist Says

Computerworld — In 30 or 40 years, we'll have microscopic machines traveling through our bodies, repairing damaged cells and organs, effectively wiping out diseases. The nanotechnology will also be used to back up our memories and personalities.
In an interview with Computerworld , author and futurist Ray Kurzweil said that anyone alive come 2040 or 2050 could be close to immortal. The quickening advance of nanotechnology means that the human condition will shift into more of a collaboration of man and machine , as nanobots flow through human blood streams and eventually even replace biological blood, he added.
That may sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but Kurzweil, a member of the Inventor's Hall of Fame and a recipient of the National Medal of Technology, says that research well underway today is leading to a time when a combination of nanotechnology and biotechnology will wipe out cancer, Alzheimer's disease , obesity and diabetes .
It'll also be a time when humans will augment their natural cognitive powers and add years to their lives, Kurzweil said.

"It's radical life extension," Kurzweil said . "The full realization of nanobots will basically eliminate biological disease and aging. I think we'll see widespread use in 20 years of [nanotech] devices that perform certain functions for us. In 30 or 40 years, we will overcome disease and aging. The nanobots will scout out organs and cells that need repairs and simply fix them. It will lead to profound extensions of our health and longevity."
Of course, people will still be struck by lightning or hit by a bus, but much more trauma will be repairable. If nanobots swim in, or even replace, biological blood, then wounds could be healed almost instantly. Limbs could be regrown. Backed up memories and personalities could be accessed after a head trauma.
Today, researchers at MIT already are using nanoparticles to deliver killer genes that battle late-stage cancer. The university reported just last month the nano-based treatment killed ovarian cancer, which is considered to be one of the most deadly cancers, in mice.

And earlier this year, scientists at the University of London reported using nanotechnology to blast cancer cells in mice with "tumor busting" genes, giving new hope to patients with inoperable tumors. So far, tests have shown that the new technique leaves healthy cells undamaged.
With this kind of work going on now, Kurzweil says that by 2024 we'll be adding a year to our life expectancy with every year that passes. "The sense of time will be running in and not running out," he added. "Within 15 years, we will reverse this loss of remaining life expectancy. We will be adding more time than is going by."
And in 35 to 40 years, we basically will be immortal, according to the man who wrote The Age of Spiritual Machines and The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology .
Kurzweil also maintains that adding microscopic machines to our bodies won't make us any less human than we are today or were 500 years ago.
"The definition of human is that we are the species that goes beyond our limitations and changes who we are," he said. "If that wasn't the case, you and I wouldn't be around because at one point life expectancy was 23. We've extended ourselves in many ways. This is an extension of who we are. Ever since we picked up a stick to reach a higher branch, we've extended who we are through tools. It's the nature of human beings to change who we are."
But that doesn't mean there aren't parts of this future that don't worry him. With nanotechnology so advanced that it can travel through our bodies and affect great change on them, come dangers as well as benefits.
The nanobots, he explained, will be self-replicating and engineers will have to harness and contain that replication.
"You could have some self-replicating nanobot that could create copies of itself... and ultimately, within 90 replications, it could devour the body it's in or all humans if it becomes a non-biological plague," said Kurzweil. "Technology is not a utopia. It's a double-edged sword and always has been since we first had fire."

A Revealing Look at Bullets Precisely Split in Half

Ammo is a series of portraits featuring bullets cut in half, revealing what this powerful object looks like on the inside. With over 900 specimen in her collection, Pearlman displays the projectiles in a simple format, against a blank background, to draw the focus on the objects themselves. Each bullet contains its own sort of personality to go with its unique design and makeup.

There's something inexplicably mesmerizing about the tiny shells, as seen up close, that draws the gaze. There is a visually striking symmetry to each round that is all at once beautiful and lethal. The photographer says, "The cross-sections reveal a hidden complexity and beauty of form, which stands in vast contrast to the destructive purpose of the object. It's a representation of the evil and the beautiful, a reflection of the human condition."

Leftist Idiots, suggesting that there is something evil in an inanimate object.  The same exact thing can be said about cars split in half, there are more than three times the amount of deaths related to cars than bullets.

Obama Has An Extinct Insect Eating Lizard Named After Him

Notice in the illustration a meteorite is falling and about the crush the world, destroy and extinct entire species and devastate life on planet earth...so Obama is a sign of impending doom...fitting...(he is the little blue/teal guy at the bottom left)

Obamadon is known from two lower jaw fragments, each less than a centimeter in length. One was found in the collections of the University of California Museum of Paleontology after having been collected from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana, and the other collected from the Lance Formation in Wyoming. When it was first named in 2012, Obamadon was identified as a member of the extinct group Polyglyphanodontia on the basis of a V-shaped connection between the two halves of the lower jaw, a slot-and-ridge type connection between the dentary bone of the lower jaw and another missing bone called the splenial bone, and teeth that are implanted within the jaw bone. Its jaw is thin and straight, unlike the curved jaws of most other polyglyphanodontians.[2] Obamadon is estimated to have been about 30 cm (1 foot) in length and may have preyed on insects.[8]

Obamadon is a primitive member of Polyglyphanodontia, a clade of lizards that went extinct after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. Its jaw material was once assigned to Leptochamops, a more derived genus of polyglyphanodontian.[2]
