    Don’t just do something, sit there.

    The Egyptian uprising tie-in with the U.S. Internet kill switch

    The people rioting in Egypt against their oppressive government and the subsequent blocking of the Internet is an interesting issue that has a global reach. Foreign policy aside, have you stopped to think about the ramifications of the cybersecurity "kill switch" bills that our measly politicians are trying to force upon us?As I wrote previously, the proposed Rockefeller-Snowe Cybersecurity Act of 2009 (Senate Bill 773) and Lieberman-Collins-Carper Protecting Cyberspace as ...

    My message to Republicans on this critical day in history

    This is a big, big day for the future of the United States of America. The people spoke in the last election telling the jokers in Washington that we don't want their "hope and change" that's running this country into the ground. Today our new Congress gets rolling. But what's it going to lead to? I have my fingers crossed that we won't see more of the same old Big ...

    Possible bomb at Newark, ratchet up security!!??

    I heard a news story this morning about the possible bomb that was found at Newark Airport. The reporter went on to say that TSA is "ratcheting up security" and searching bags with more scrutiny in the event the threat is real.What I want to know is (and can't seem to find the answer to): why is it we "ratchet up security" when a such threat is detected rather than ...

    This woman “did not have a plan B”, do you?

    Watch this intense video of the psycho at the Florida school board meeting firing at the superintendent who supposedly signed the papers leading to his wife losing her job.Shows that you've always got to have an escape route. Be it with information security, driving down the road, or attending a meeting such as this.Of course, this was a situation in a government school building where only the criminals can have ...

    The WikiLeaks lack of security responsibility & mental disorder connection

    Last week I wrote out some talking points in preparation for a TV interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on the WikiLeaks issue and what businesses can do to keep their information secure. At the last minute they ended up not doing the segment so I thought I'd post my perspective here:The leaks are not the problem – it’s the choices and all the events to lead to information being ...

    Are terrorists hanging out at Wal-Mart or something?

    Our Imperial Federal Government is at it again with Homeland Security's new "videos" coming to a Wal-Mart near you. Do they have "intelligence" on Islamic terrorists casing our local Wally World parking lots or something. OK, probably not...they're likely just trying to get the word out to the dumb masses.Unbelievable stuff people...Let's just sit idly and let this government intrusion nonsense continue in support the Islamic terrorists' ultimate goal....

    Just how much control are we willing to have forced upon us?

    It's been an interesting and truly scary news week in the "good old" U.S. of A. Think about this stuff folks:A Democrat congressman in charge of the House Ways and Means Committee with jurisdiction over taxes gets reprimanded for not paying taxesA judge is busted for buying drugs to use with a stripperSan Francisco banning circumcision and toys in Happy Meals And, of course, TSA minions doing things like giving ...

    Let the smoke (and mirrors) clear

    Finally, some hope and change we can believe in!But not so fast...a quick note to all the Republicans out there: you didn't get voted in because people are embracing you...people are just tired of seeing the Democrats' lack of principles and leadership- not to mention their taking money (by force) from the people who earn it and giving it to those who don't deserve it - undermining and effectively destroying ...
