Project Censored

It's been ages since I've blogged. I'm going to try to repair that. Lots going on, my current research is on real-time distribution of p2p video. I obviously can't write on that, but I can write on my explorations and readings. That's coming soon. As well as some of my research on Systems Science.

Project Censored - Every year they post what they believe to be the most important overlooked stories of the year, and like all years, this one is great. It's unfortunate that it's so long, that I can't talk myself into violating their copyright. Three of what I consider the more important stories are:

1. Hunger and Poverty are on the increase in the US. This is what governments are for, why is it increasing? Why are we an exporter of food when this is going on? Obviously, my social philosophy (at this point in time), is based on what I understand to be the Star Trek ideal. A person's basic right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness should include, a RIGHT to food, shelter, health care, and school. They don't have to be "equal", but it should be a social safety net. I believe everyone should consider this important, even if it's just for the selfish reasons to not create populations to "culture" diseases like TB.

2. Halliburton is building huge detention centers in the US. Many think they are for dealing with immigrants, but many states are declaring those who protest to be terrorists. Argh! Not to mention that the VPotUS is still making huge gains on his stock, and that a subsidiary sold nuclear tech to Iran.

3. Physicists challenge to 9/11 convenient destruction. WTC 7 housed many Federal Government offices. Including many of the financial records on Enron. Probably too late to get a better investigation, but it does seem like the Reichstag fire (Look it up) to me.
