This is the Media's image of the new administration. They lot their spot and power to some extent.

Evacuate...?
Cayla...
Image is not related. |
It's nice to have a friend who's a good listener, but a doll called My Friend Cayla listens a little too well, according to German regulators who say the toy is essentially a stealthy espionage device that shares what it hears and is also vulnerable to takeover by third parties.
"Cayla ist verboten in Deutschland," says Jochen Homann, the president of Germany's Federal Network Agency, announcing a ban on the doll in Germany. His agency oversees electronic privacy; Homann also cites a special obligation to protect the privacy of children, calling them the most vulnerable members of society.
The heart of the problem is that Cayla looks like an everyday doll and gives no notice that it collects and transmits everything it hears in this case, to a voice-recognition company in the U.S. whose other customers include intelligence agencies.
Nuance, the U.S. company in question, has said in response to similar criticisms that it "does not share voice data collected from or on behalf of any of our customers with any of our other customers." To ban the doll, regulators invoked a federal law against espionage devices. [NPR-2-17-17 ]
Sex Toys...*
More than 16 million new refugees sought homes around the globe in 2015.
The refugee crisis in Europe is more a matter of culture and numbers. The German and Swedish governments have failed to take seriously the cultural differences on issues like women’s rights, minority rights, family honor, and individual liberties between asylum-seekers, mainly from the Middle East and North Africa, and the European societies.
In Cologne, Germany, on New Year’s Eve, more than 600 women were sexually assaulted – and in some cases also robbed – by large gangs of men, most of whom were illegal immigrants or asylum-seekers, 153 suspects detained.
It was revealed that similar attacks had taken place at the We Are Stockholm youth festival in the Swedish capital two years in a row, with young refugee men encircling and sexually assaulting teenage girls. Police had to escort 200 male attendees from the festival area last year.
Harassment at public bathhouses in Sweden have multiplied, In Bornheim, Germany, male asylum-seekers had to be banned from a local bathhouse because of sexual harassment.
Swedish police undertook an analysis of all harassment that has been occurring in public spaces. Their findings confirm that there is a problem with immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers acting in groups to attack local women and girls.
There is no denying that in Germany and Sweden, two of the world’s most open tolerant, and equitable societies, their women and girls now face a new terror reality in their own homes.
But is it really cultural or Imorality? Do these illegals do this to their own, back home?

Nothing New...?
1993 Bombing |
He was the leader of one of Egypt’s most feared militant groups which led a campaign of violence aimed at bringing down Egypt's Gov.
He fled Egypt to the U.S. in 1990. A circle of his followers were convicted in the Feb. 26, 1993, truck bombing of
Later in 1993, he was arrested, with others, of conspiring to wage a string of bombings against the
His longtime associate from Egyptian militant circles,
The two groups shared an ideology rejecting the governments of Egypt and other Arab countries as infidels that must be brought down by force. Between 1990 and 1996, they carried out a wave of attacks on Western tourists, Egyptian police and
We let them in, Protect them, providing freedom, and they continue to plot against their people and ours. What's up with that. Just a thought.

He is a German impostor, moved to U.S and lived under a succession of aliases moving repeatedly from one location to another. Claiming to be an art collector, a physicist, a ship's captain, a negotiator of international debt agreements, and an English aristocrat. He was quite plausible, and at one point was hired to work in a brokerage firm.
In 1995, using the name "Clark Rockefeller," he married Sandra Boss, a high-earning McKinsey senior executive who had graduated from Stanford University and Harvard Business School, in a Quaker ceremony that had no legal status. Boss "he was charming and she believed the stories he told her at the beginning of their relationship". Boss earned all of the family income, while he had complete control of the family's finances and other aspects of her day-to-day life for 12 years.
Boss hired a private investigator, who found that "Clark" was not who he claimed to be. She changed her child's surname because he refused to provide proof of his identity.
What makes a successful woman believed his stories? Something is missing here. Just a thought.
Line-Ups...
The Trump administration says it will cut off federal funds to cities that give sanctuary to illegal immigrants. These “sanctuary cities,” and there are many, decline to enforce federal immigration law.
Miami-Dade County, Florida, became the first major metropolitan area to drop its sanctuary status.
“Shame on you!” protesters shouted at county commissioners.
The decision to back the president’s new order to detain illegal immigrants charged with a crime ignored hours of emotional pleas.
The mayor’s list of 34 recent detentions includes repeat and violent offenders, including murder, but also lesser charges.
Many businesses in Miami depend on the undocumented, like farm workers. Some have worked the fields for decades.
Follow the money I say... Just a thought.
Collected...*
Terrorists are a different type of enemy. They could be anyone, anywhere in the world. To find them, NSA has to look for bad actors swimming in a sea of innocent people. This is why NSA turned to broad surveillance of populations, both in the United States and internationally.
NSA access information collected from the servers of nine major American internet companies: Microsoft, Google, etc. as well as mass-intercepting data from the fiber-optic cables.
The surveillance program opened our eyes to how our privacy been reduced by the daily gadgets we use. NSA is putting all these information collected together, and create organized loss of privacy.
The crucial thing is what are we using this information for? Now if the government release/Use information not related to terrorism, that is a violation of privacy.
Terrorist will do any thing once they get the chance or find a weak point. It is happening around the globe. If not caught/punished immediately, the loss would be beyond privacy, but life itself.
Just a [private] thought.
