State Police Using Fed Technology to Crack Smartphones

by Shepard Ambellas, InfoWars:
Now that the use of smartphones have became prevalent throughout American culture, particularly with the younger generation, humans are becoming increasingly interconnected with technology and are leaving behind a footprint of data on their devices which is now discoverable by state law enforcement agencies through the use of advanced forensic technology previously only privy to the F.B.I. and other three-letter agencies.
According to a Pew Research Center survey taken in early-to-mid 2015, 72% of Americans own smartphones and are using their devices on a regular basis to communicate with others both verbally and digitally. Additionally the survey concluded that a vast percentage of Millennials between the ages of 18 and 34 use the Internet on a daily basis, accessing it from their devices, some 99% of them.

Barack Obama’s All-Out Attack On Israel

by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:
During the very last month of his presidency, Barack Obama has decided to launch an all-out attack on Israel. On Friday, Barack Obama’s decision to allow UN Security Council resolution 2334 to pass without a veto was the greatest betrayal of Israel in modern American history, and now there are reports that the Obama administration is planning to introduce another resolution that would officially recognize a Palestinian state. Throughout his eight years in the White House, many have accused Obama of being the most anti-Israel president in our history, and now he is proving them right. Obama has also been accused of harboring sympathies for the agenda of the radical Islamic world, and at this point it is hard to argue that he doesn’t. Everyone always knew that Obama greatly disliked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but the way that Obama is currently behaving goes way beyond just being vindictive.

Russia Warns Any Attempt By Obama To Arm Syrian Rebels Will Be Seen As A “Hostile Act”

from ZeroHedge:
First, it was China which lodged a protest against the US defense bill, which was signed by Barack Obama late on Friday and which, among other things, contained a provision to establish as US “ministry of truth” and media propaganda. On Sunday, China lodged “stern representations” with the United States after Obama signed the NDAA into law which suggests a plan to conduct high-level military exchanges with self-ruled Taiwan. Part of the $618.7 billion National Defense Authorization Act “expresses the sense of Congress that (the U.S. Department of Defense) should conduct a program of senior military exchanges between the United States and Taiwan”.

Though this year was complicated in so many ways, several medical breakthroughs took place which give hope to the millions of people who suffer from deadly diseases and debilitating conditions.

Numerous breakthroughs promise to eradicate some diseases entirely as well as make expensive and invasive procedures a thing of the past. Other advances offer the possibility to detect deadly diseases decades before they show symptoms. Though the next few years may be rocky for more than a few reasons, at least those suffering from a debilitating condition or serious illness have more hope for a cure or affordable treatment than in years prior.

‘Child Exploitation Officer’ Caught Distributing Child Porn on Duty — Busted AGAIN, Gets 12 Years

by Matt Agorist, The Free Thought Project:
North Adams, MA — Less than one year after being given back access to the internet for his previous conviction of distributing child pornography, former Adams Police Officer Alan C. Vigiard downloaded and shared images of young children being sexually exploited.
Last week, Vigiard was ordered to serve 10-12 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges related to child pornography — again.
In 2009, Vigiard was suspended after allegations surfaced that he’d been viewing and distributing child pornography — while on duty, at the police station — for hours every day. Before he was suspended, Vigiard was the Child Exploitation Officer in charge of helping children who were victims of the very crimes he was committing.

Berlin Terrorist Was Under Surveillance for 6 months

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:
The Tunisian migrant/refugee Anis Amri hijacked the truck to kill people in Berlin in the Christmas market. He managed to escape Berlin and got through France and finally down to Milan. He was shot and killed in Milan early on December 23rd, 2016 when he was asked for identification only because he appeared suspicious. The 24-year-old shot a police officer in Italy before he was killed in a shootout.
Amri got to Europe on a refugee boat in 2011. He ended up in a Sicilian prison but the Tunisians would not take Amri back. So the Italians simply released him in 2014. He made his way to Germany a year later and applied for asylum, which he was rejected. The Germans could not deport him, either, because he had no passport and the Tunisians simply refused accept him back.

India’s Demonetization Debacle Highlights the Dangers of Monetary Monopoly

by Michael Krieger, Liberty Blitzkrieg:
As longtime readers know, I believe we are at the beginning stages of what will be historical paradigm level change across the planet. We sit on the precipice of the self-destruction of almost all the dominant institutions we’ve been accustomed to throughout our lifetimes. To borrow a bit of played out and painfully clichéd Silicon Valley lingo, everything is on the table for “disruption.”
Naturally, this doesn’t necessarily mean the paradigm that follows the current one will be materially better, but I am personally optimistic about what will emerge following a period of considerable confusion, hardship and conflict. In order to tilt the scales toward a positive outcome, those of us who wish to usher in a world characterized by human freedom, decentralization, self-government and kindness, need to recognize the most likely avenues we have to get there. Technology is obviously extremely important, as a recent move by Whisper Systems to thwart censorship demonstrates.
