"A so-called "Monsanto rider," quietly slipped into the multi-billion dollar FY 2013 Agricultural Appropriations bill, would require – not just allow, but require - the Secretary of Agriculture to grant a temporary permit for the planting or cultivation of a genetically engineered crop, even if a federal court has ordered the planting be halted until an Environmental Impact Statement is completed. All the farmer or the biotech producer has to do is ask, and the questionable crops could be released into the environment where they could potentially contaminate conventional or organic crops and, ultimately, the nation's food supply."
Fighting back against eminent domain abuses
One state is going to let voters decide on an amendment to their
state constitution that would prevent local governments from
abusing the power of eminent domain.
Of course, there are two side to this: 
There are those who own property, they bought it, they paid taxes
on it, and they want to keep what is theirs.
And then there are those who think that gov't should be able to
take what they want for whatever reason.
We'll find out in November how this plays out... Video:

The media have been too passive when it comes to Syrian opposition sources, without scrutinising their backgrounds and their political connections. Time for a closer look …

Capturing Fingerprints From 20 Feet Away
Gaining access to your gym or office building could soon be as simple as waving a hand at the front door. A Hunsville, Ala.-based company called IDair is developing a system that can scan and identify a fingerprint from nearly 20 feet away. Coupled with other biometrics, it could soon allow security systems to grant or deny access from a distance, without requiring users to stop and scan a fingerprint, swipe an ID card, or otherwise lose a moment dealing with technology.

Ron Paul: Our current banking system is about counterfeiting money
On July 9, Congressman Ron Paul compiled testimony of a recent hearing in the House on fractional banking, and the Federal Reserve’s control of monetary policy. From that testimony, Congressman Paul emphasized that the primary moral hazard in our economy is that America’s current banking system’s use of fractional banking was the equivalent of making money appear out of thin air, or in fundamental terms, legal counterfeiting.

President seizes control of all U.S. communications
Even in this soft-pedaling clip from CNN, they are forced to admit
that the executive order was done with as little publicity as possible.
They are also forced to admit that there is a wide gulf between
what Obama says and what Obama does.
That said, they try to convince their viewers that this is all very
necessary, and of course, not as controversial as it might seem.
