The View From Above

This is fucking scary stuff.

15 square miles from 17,500 feet and the resolution is insane.

And, they're developing drones that can stay aloft for years at a time.

You are being watched.

Dayum!

A million Terrabytes of video generated each day. Investment tip... invest in hard drives and emerging storage technology.

The advancement of technology is amazing . . . . to say the least.

I don't have the bandwidth here in P'cola. (I'll check it out in a couple of days)

Forgotten promises

The president seems no more inclined than his neo-con predecessors to heed longstanding constitutional limits on executive power. Indeed, his first term witnessed several extensions of the Bush-Cheney legacy.

Extrajudicial assassination using armed drone aircraft, the use of unmanned aerial drones for unwarranted domestic spying, the NSA's dragnet domestic wiretapping, the FBI's resurrection of COINTELPRO, the unprecedented crackdown on immigrants under President Obama, the use of immigration enforcement as a pretext to create a national biometric identification scheme for all Americans (including citizens), continued racial profiling in the drug war, and the new threat of military detention within the U.S., all reflect a dark side of President Obama's legacy.
