What if you could unlock your smartphone this way? Janne Lindqvist, CC BY-ND
Nearly 80 percent of Americans own a smartphone, and a growing proportion
of them use smartphones for internet access, not just when they’re on the

private data on their mobile devices.
Often, there is just one layer of security protecting all that data –
emails and text messages, social media profiles, bank accounts and credit

with emojis. In 2015, a British company tried using emoji passcodes in

U.S. Military Says It Has "A Very Good Chance" of Destroying ISIS In Afghanistan In 2017
*Russ Read*
*Security, *
Victory?
The U.S. military believes that it could potentially destroy the Islamic
State’s affiliate in Afghanistan by the end of 2017, according to a
military spokesman.
Islamic State Khorasan, also known as ISIS-K, has been a prime target for
U.S. forces in Afghanistan. The group was the focus of public attention in
April when the U.S. dropped its most massive non-nuclear bomb, known as the
“MOAB,” on an ISIS-K compound in Nangarhar province. U.S. forces followed
up the strike with a large nighttime raid on an ISIS-K leader’s compound.

Three Kinds Of Conservatism
George Monbiot writes that there are three kinds of conservatism:
Conservatism takes three main forms. Inclusive conservatism seeks to
protect objects of value for the benefit of everyone. These might include
great urban vistas, or national parks, or wildlife, or works of art, or
great institutions, such as the NHS and the BBC. This is the conservatism
governments invoke when a nation goes to war.
Exclusive conservatism, by contrast, resists change that would assist the
great majority, on behalf of a privileged elite. This is the form –

The Templar Knights and the Atlantic Great Circle Route from 1100 Ad through 1307 AD
Something blew across my desk recently and triggered some curious
connections. It was the carbon dates for the Oak Island coconut fibers.
The beach was constructed around 1130 AD =/- 70 years.
Now we know that the Templars were disbanded around 1307 AD. However they
had a large merchant fleet. Toss in the importance of Portugal and
Scotland to the Templars and we have a suddenly plausible conjecture. It
is simply that they understood the ancient Bronze Age Great circle route
that took you from Portugal to the Bahamas at least, and then back in the
gulf stream to Nova Scotia... more »

I am not opposed to temporary payments from the public chest to those least

Whether progressives call it "transitional assistance to terrorists" or
whether they find some other fancy progressive and politically correct
term, it should not be given - not ever. As the Boston Bomber (right)

U.S. Military Spending Still Dwarfs What Russia And China Both Spend
*Rob Garver, Fiscal Times:** US Military Spending Still Makes China, Russia
Look Small*
For the decade that ended with 2016, the United States’ two major
geopolitical rivals doubled their spending on defense, a new analysis from
the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute shows. That only
leaves them several hundred billion dollars per year behind what the US
spends.
Between 2007 and 2016, China increased the amount it spends on defense each

The Enigma that is George Soros.
From his own web page- LINK
Soros has experienced such intolerance firsthand. Born in Hungary in 1930,
he lived through the Nazi occupation of 1944–5, which resulted in the
murder of over 500,000 Hungarian Jews. His own Jewish family survived by
securing false identity papers, concealing their backgrounds, and helping
others do the same. Soros later recalled that “instead of submitting to our
fate, we resisted an evil force that was much stronger than we were—yet we
prevailed.
He says:

"Intersectionality"?
"Intersectionality"? I'm sorry, but that is bullshit. The first, dominant,
and overpowering oppression is violent class dominance, class segregation
and class discrimination. Race and gender are side shows that correlate:
They are not the driver. "Intersectionality" is a pseudo-academic
service-intellectual cover for professional-class managers who benefit from
race and gender-rights
Teaching, Selling or Consuming Cinco de Mayo
It is that time of year: it is either time to teach, sell or consume Cinco
de Mayo.
If one decides to teach it, then people come to learn of a great
anti-imperialist struggle (1861-67) fought by poor peoples, and a day that
memorializes a heroic battle in Puebla on May 5, 1862, that eventually
culminated with the kicking out of the French from Mexico in 1867.
If one decides to sell it or consume it, then one becomes part of that
capitalistic practice of debasing anything sacred and turning it into a
tragicomic holiday where drinking and white sales become the norm.

A snapshot of inequality in South Africa. Johnny Miller / Unequal Scenes, CC

Inequality in America is on the rise. Income gains since the 1980s have
been concentrated at the top. The top 10 percent today take home 30 percent
of all income, and control over three-quarters of all wealth. We have
returned to the level of income inequality that marked the Great Depression
of the 1920s and 1930s.
Who gets what in America continues to be impacted by a person’s race, gender
and family resources. What’s striking, however, is how little people seem
to notice.
