This brilliant article by technocracy expert Patrick Wood highlights the advances coming down the pike with so-called smart cities. The U.N. has made a push in recent years to bypass national governments and implement global governance through cities [Recall how when President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the U.N. Paris Climate pact the mayors of many major U.S. cities said they would ignore his decision and proceed to comply with U.N. regulations, not U.S. laws]. Also remember that the UN biosphere project seeks to drive ranchers and small farmers off their land and push more people into cities.

If you've ever found your eyes tiring by the end of a movie in your home theatre – and it has nothing to do with the writing, acting, or production – you may want to look into something like a bias light. I knew about bias lights once but over the years, and through several changes in TV's over the years, I had forgotten just how much a bias light can improve one's enjoyment. Back then, I had (among other TV's) a 57-inch CRT rear projector, but while watching it I noticed that the picture would tend to dazzle my...

Back in 2013 when Google killed Google Reader and pissed off the internet’s outspoken batch of journalists, a bunch of alternatives launched to try and save RSS. Feedly was (and likely still is) the most popular, but others were there to try and steal some of the spotlight, like Digg Reader. If you were one of those who passed on Feedly for Digg, I have bad news for you – Digg Reader has shut down. Digg announced that the end was near a couple of weeks ago, and boy, time sure does fly. They are sending emails today to confirm...

Your iPhone will track and record places that you visit most often to provide better location-based data and suggestions across iOS 11. While these suggestions can be super helpful, you may not like the idea of your iPhone and iPad tracking the locations you frequent If you value your privacy more than you do location-based data and suggestions, you can turn the feature off. How to turn off Significant Locations on iPhone and iPad: 1. Launch the Settings app from the Home screen. 2. Tap on Privacy. 3. Tap Location Services at the top. 4. Tap System Services. It's all...

The revelation that a firm working for the 2016 Trump presidential campaign used FaceBook data to aid his election sparked a heavy dose of remorse from founder Mark Zuckerberg. He apologized profusely “for betraying the values and efforts of President Obama to create a just and noble society for everyone.” A particularly aggravating aspect of the Trump campaign’s use of data mining techniques via FaceBook was its similarity to what the Obama presidential campaign of 2012 did. “When Obama’s people approached me on the topic of extracting personal data for political purposes, I thought, we’re for the same things, and...

"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you." I don't know, or care, who said that originally, but in this age of hacking and cyber corruption – and the deep state trying desperately to defeat the forces of light - it's becoming increasingly clear that there appears to be folks out in cyberspace who don't have your best interests in mind. Indeed, you may have heard about how Facebook and Google have been revealed as corrupt data miners more interested in raking in cash and helping their fellow political travellers than in providing the benign...

A free America demands an open Internet, a secure Internet, an Internet free of political censorship How did we get along before the Internet? Young people today cannot imagine living in a world without electronic devices - a time before fast-paced computers, laptops, and smart phones provided instant connectivity. Their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents cannot imagine living in a world without automobiles, airplanes, and television - a time of slow-paced letter writing, waiting, and sailing boats. People live in the cultural, physical, and political historical context of their lives. Russian-American philosopher and writer Ayn Rand (1905-1982) sailed the month-long journey...

Like his hero Obama, Zuckerberg floats through life on outsized delusions of grandeur Waaaaa! The sound of Facebook claiming instant victimhood in the aftermath of the cooked-up, hysterical Cambridge Analytical ‘scandal’. Facebook, which throws a lifeline keeping all Progressives comfortably afloat, is now claiming victimhood for itself. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg finally came out of hiding to address reports that his company had allowed Cambridge Analytica access to data on millions of Facebook users without their knowledge or consent:

@RandPaul: It’s a good thing we have Republican control of Congress or the Democrats might bust the budget caps, fund planned parenthood and Obamacare, and sneak gun control without due process into an Omni...wait, what?

Seeking someone with knowledge of WIN 10

Is Cambridge Analytica going to be left holding the bag for Obama's Data-Mining? Is the Cambridge Analytica alleged scandal—in reality a bombshell dropped out of the blue by the New York Times and The Guardian’s Observer—now dominating the daily news, a desperate replacement for Special Counsel Robert Mueller III’s fading ‘Russians-Stole-The-Election’ investigation? It certainly fits the desperate, no-evidence special counsel need like a glove.

I'm not usually, if ever, asking for help on something, but my cd player won't play "Hitman" or anything else I feed it. I can't find a "My CD" folder, as described in one of the articles' repair steps. I'll do what I can from your suggestions, up to my limited knowledge base, to implement any ideas. Within reason. Thanks in advance.

Obama and Netflix have found the way to legitimize Fake News Did former president Barack Obama learn the ropes to be a Netflix prime content producer from his 19-year-old daughter, Malia, who herself learned the ropes at disgraced Harvey Weinstein’s New York production company? It certainly now looks that way. Both Malia’s mother and father will be live streamed talking heads on Netflix following what the New York Times called “advanced negotiations” to produce a series of programs that would be exclusive to the company, which is said to be allocating $8 billion toward acquiring new and original content this...

It's high time to Tweet Twitter out of civil society. The only way to do so is to send what Twitter is doing to babies and cops viral by contacting all of those on your contact lists Pathologically hypocritical Twitter executives see fit to warn users about pictures of unborn babies as “potentially sensitive media”, but allow free range to ex-professor cop hater Michael Isaacson, who calls the 18 officers killed thus far in 2018: “pig death stats”. Squeamish about baby-in-the-womb pictures posted online by Conservative writers and pro-life advocates, Twitter undertakes to be squeamish on behalf of their users...

With Amazon Prime fees jumping up another $2/month for only monthly subscribers, you might be wondering if your membership is really worth it. Especially since Walmart now offers free two-day shipping without a membership (plus, at Walmart you can have your groceries delivered right to your car!). We decided to compare a sample of Amazon’s prices (not factoring in the Prime membership fee) with Walmart’s everyday low prices. The verdict? Generally, Amazon beats Walmart for makeup, baby supplies, toys, and pet supplies (unless you’re using coupons!). But when it comes to groceries, cleaning supplies, medicine and personal care, Walmart is...

Analytics is how Obama and his Google-taught number crunchers intend to take back the presidency Up for grabs in 2018 Midterms: the voter base of President Donald Trump, about to be confiscated by analytics savvy Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the fighting-their-way-back-from-exile Democrats. ‘Analytics’ is the tekkie word for VOTER TARGETING, and history proves that voter targeting always works. Analytics, aka voter targeting, is exactly how Obama captured the 2012 election. The Obama campaign team was able to access massive data, which in turn allowed them to identify the vote, transmit to voters the messages they wanted to hear. Analytics...

Kevin Shipp, former CIA agent, explains the deep state and the shadow government in a detailed and articulate style.

Howdy folks. A few years ago, I purchased a refurb Dell PC through Staples. Today, I'm stuck in the infinite startup-and-repair loop. With the refurb PCs, they don't supply physical media. I made a bootable USB on my laptop, but that doesn't work. I can repair only if I have an installation disc. Now, if I had purchased this software directly from MS, MS would allow me to directly download the ISO image after inputting my product key on the website. I have the product key -- the refurb company put a new label on the side of the PC....
