Only 18 Confirmed US Flu Deaths In 2001. What?!
by Jon Rappoport. What happened to the "36,000 die from flu every year" bit. It’s always interesting when official agencies’ statistics come back to bite them. Hard. In December of 2005, the British Medical Journal (BMJ online) published a shocking report by Peter Dosh, which created tremors through the halls of the Centers for Disease ... MORECarol Roth: It's Time To Legalize Insider Trading
A subtle and sophisticated understanding. M&A (mergers and acquisitions) is on fire again, and according to a new study from professors at the Stern School of Business at NYU and McGill University, so is insider trading. The study says that up to a quarter of all M&A deals may foster some level of insider trading. As insider trading is clearly ... MOREVIDEO: Edward Snowden Censored By NBC ABout 9-11

Is Obama Media Playing Dumb --- Or Are They Not Playing?
White House and media ignorance on display. Administration misspeaks and reporters don't bother to investigate. A White House aide set off a stampede of liberal media criticism for Internet news pioneer Matt Drudge over Obamacare – but his critics don't seem to understand how small businesses pay taxes. The brouhaha started when ... MOREGoogle, DuckDuckGo And Regulation Of Privacy
by Tim Worstall. This piece about DuckDuckGo rather interested me, for it speaks to the
argument that is being had over the regulation of privacy in both the US
and the European Union. And while this isn’t entirely and wholly true
it is in essence: the US has, in my opinion, taken the right view of
that regulation. Leave it, largely, to the ... MORE'Crazy Cave' Is Poster Child For Government Waste
by Daniel Bates. No incentives for cost-saving innovation. Six hundred workers are processing government pension papers in an underground bunker entirely by hand in a staggering example of state inefficiency that is costing taxpayers millions. Staff at what has been dubbed the ‘Crazy Cave’ take up to 61 days just to deal with ... MOREPoll Shows Individual Rights Increasingly Valued By Russians
by Anna Dolgov, Moscow Times.

Guy Adams: Is Your TV Spying On YOU?
The answer is not so simple. You are sitting in bed in your pyjamas, drinking a cup of cocoa. A loved one lies next to you, watching late-night television. Pillow talk is exchanged. An alarm clock is set. Eventually the lights are turned out. Earlier, you sat on the living-room sofa eating supper, before loading the dishwasher and heading ... MORE
Sean Riley & Ed Walton: Obama's Privacy Nightmare
Government can't protect your sensitive data. Tuesday marked the first day of open enrollment for the health-insurance exchanges set up by the Affordable Care Act. It didn’t go very well: Would-be health-insurance consumers in at least 47 states encountered technical problems. These so-called glitches, however, mask a ... MORERonald Bailey: The Top 5 Bogus Health Scares
How activist misinformation harms Americans. Health activists, nutrition nannies, medical paternalists, and just plain old quacks regularly conjure up a variety of menaces that are supposedly damaging the health of Americans.

Walter E Williams: Profiling
Understanding probability is useful. Police Capt. Louis Renault, played by Claude Rains in the 1942 movie "Casablanca," in the wake of the shooting of a Nazi officer, ordered his men to "round up the usual suspects." Was Renault engaging in some sort of profiling? He may have been, but what is profiling? Let's look at it. We can think of ... MOREWhy Obama Wanted NSA Data-Mining Program Kept Secret
by Mike Riggs. I was reading up on the National Security Agency's data-mining program when I came across this tweet by Matt Apuzzo of the Associated Press: If the programs needed secrecy to succeed, will NSA shut them down now? If not, did they ever need be secret? Or did I just blow your mind? — Matt Apuzzo (@mattapuzzo) June 7,
