Computer Scientist Cracks Mysterious 75,000-Character 'Copiale Cipher': Translation Expert Turning Insights and Computing Power on Other Coded Messages

""The manuscript seems straight out of fiction: a strange handwritten message in abstract symbols and Roman letters meticulously covering 105 yellowing pages, hidden in the depths of an academic archive.

Now, more than three centuries after it was devised, the 75,000-character "Copiale Cipher" has finally been broken.

The mysterious cryptogram, bound in gold and green brocade paper, reveals the rituals and political leanings of a 18th-century secret society in Germany. The rituals detailed in the document indicate the secret society had a fascination with eye surgery and ophthalmology, though it seems members of the secret society were not themselves eye doctors.

"This opens up a window for people who study the history of ideas and the history of secret societies," said computer scientist Kevin Knight of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, part of the international team that finally cracked the Copiale Cipher. "Historians believe that secret societies have had a role in revolutions, but all that is yet to be worked out, and a big part of the reason is because so many documents are enciphered."

To break the Copiale Cipher, Knight and colleagues Beáta Megyesi and Christiane Schaefer of Uppsala University in Sweden tracked down the original manuscript, which was found in the East Berlin Academy after the Cold War and is now in a private collection. They then transcribed a machine-readable version of the text, using a computer program created by Knight to help quantify the co-occurrences of certain symbols and other patterns.

"When you get a new code and look at it, the possibilities are nearly infinite," Knight said. "Once you come up with a hypothesis based on your intuition as a human, you can turn over a lot of grunt work to the computer."""

Nuclear And Military Data Taken In Mitsubishi Hack: At Least Eight Different Pieces of Malware, Including Data-Stealing Trojans Used in the August 11th Attack.

""The perils of a well organised cyber-attack have been underlined once again, after highly sensitive data relating to Japan’s military and critical infrastructure was reportedly stolen.
In September, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries confirmed that its computer network had been breached by cyber-attackers in August. The attack hit approximately 45 servers and 38 computers, which were infected with malware at 10 facilities located throughout Japan, and at Mitsubishi’s Yokohama headquarters.
Mitsubishi is Japan’s largest defence contractor""

Damaging Attack

""At the time, the firm was criticised for not reporting the security breach to Japan’s Defence Ministry until a month later, when details emerged in the media.
Mitsubishi was unable to say what data had been compromised in the August attack, but it did assure Japanese authorities that it had taken appropriate measures to safeguard all military information.""

Occupy The World: How Can We Rouse Police and Other Protectors of the Corporatocracy - "Guards" of the Status Quo - to Join the OWS Rebellion?

""Police, teachers, the corporate press, mental health professionals - the guards of the system - are given small rewards to pacify and control the population.

“In a highly developed society, the Establishment cannot survive without the obedience and loyalty of millions of people who are given small rewards to keep the system going: the soldiers and police, teachers and ministers, administrators and social workers, technicians and production workers, doctors, lawyers. . . . They become the guards of the system, buffers between the upper and lower classes. If they stop obeying, the system falls.”

—Howard Zinn, from “The Coming Revolt of the Guards,” A People’s History of the United States

For those of us who have demonstrated and marched in the Occupy movement, it is obvious that the police and the corporate press serve as guards—buffers between the vast majority of the American people and the ruling “corporatocracy” (the partnership of giant corporations, the wealthy elite, and their collaborating politicians). In addition to the police and the corporate press, there are millions of other guards employed by the corporatocracy to keep people obedient and maintain the status quo.

  

Even a partial revolt of the guards could increase the number of protesters on the streets from the thousands to the millions. When did Zinn predict the revolt would occur, and how can this revolt be accelerated?""

TW Hydrae Star System First Icy Planet-Forming-Disc Observed Hints at Potential Source of Earth's Ocean Waters

""For the first time, astronomers have found a planet-forming disc around a star that is awash with frozen water. The discovery adds credence to the idea that Earth got its water from comets – especially as the disc seems to contain enough water to fill Earth's oceans thousands of times over.

Hot water vapour has previously been detected in the inner part of the planet-forming discs of nascent, alien solar systems. But this is too close to the central star to be incorporated into the forming planets.

By contrast, the new observations are of water in the form of ice grains, which can exist only in the frigid outer reaches of a planet-forming disc. It is there that they can ultimately coalesce into planets and comets.

Before planets form, the disc of material surrounding young stars is mostly gas. Astronomers can probe the contents of that gas by analysing the spectra of the light it emits. Earlier observations had found organic materials like carbon monoxide and cyanide in such discs, but because Earth's own atmosphere is so damp, it interferes with the detection of alien water from the ground.""

Cybercommand Chief Opposes U.N. Net Control: Nations Request International Deliberations Within the United Nations Framework on Such an International Code

""BALTIMORE — The commander of the U.S. Cyber Command said Thursday that he does not favor giving the United Nations the power to regulate the Internet.

Some regulations are needed to protect critical networks that control electrical power, banking, transportation and other key elements of society, Army Gen. Keith Alexander, who is also director of the National Security Agency, said after a speech to a security conference.

But asked whether the U.N. should have a regulation role, Gen. Alexander said: “No. I’m not for regulating, per se. I’m concerned about it, and this is a tough question. I would say, generally speaking, I’m not into that portion of regulating as you would espouse.”

Last month, Russia, China, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan submitted a resolution to the U.N. General Assembly calling for giving individual states the right to control the Internet. The resolution, submitted Sept. 14, calls for “an international code of conduct for information security.”

It requests “international deliberations within the United Nations framework on such an international code, with the aim of achieving the earliest possible consensus on international norms and rules guiding the behavior of states in the information space.”""

It's Official: Most Controversial Counterterrorism Measures in U.S. History (VIPR) [TSA, CBP, ICE] Program Introduced in State of Tennessee

""October 19, 2011   One of the most controversial counterterrorism measures in U.S. history, the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) program was officially introduced in the state of Tennessee on Tuesday, and chances are that more states will soon follow.
VIPR teams include Federal Air Marshals, explosive-detection canine teams, Aviation Security Inspectors, and Transportation Security Officers. Other agencies that have participated in VIPR exercises, although not fomally listed as VIPR members, include representatives from CBP and ICE.

In April 2011, Homeland Security, TSA, CBP, ICE and local law enforcement officers surprised unsuspecting commuters at a Tampa Greyhound bus station, leaving many shaken. Commuters were met by dozens of local, state and federal law enforcement agents dressed in black SWAT-style uniforms.""

#############################################

""The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and TSA officials confirmed that two “routine operations” occurred on the same day at separate locations in Des Moines, Iowa.  In Chicago, recent VIPR sightings include the Ogilvie train station downtown and another back in January at a station in Hinsdale, IL.  In November and December 2010 VIPR teams were highly visible at train stations.  Since July 4, 2007, TSA confirmed that Chicago participated in several national and local VIPR operations.

On June 14, 2011  TSA Chief John Pistole testified before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation that evidence seized from Osama bin-Laden’s computer files revealed al-Qaeda plans to target U.S. rails, prompting the agency's stepped-up random and unpredictable operations by its Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) teams. Pistole's excuse hardly explains why in the last year more than 300 of the operations were performed in the state of Iowa alone.

However, Tennessee officials say the statewide "VIPR" operation isn't in response to any particular threat. Tennessee's VIPR was deployed simultaneously at five weigh stations and at two bus bus terminals in Nashville and Knoxville across the state, for a total of seven locations.""

You Are Not Your Name and Photo: A Call to Re-Imagine Identity - Our Great Depression Is Our Lives

""At some point in the last few years, “identity” became a nasty word. It’s not just identity theft, identity politics or identity requirements. It’s everywhere — maybe especially on the web.

People like Google’s Eric Schmidt began to talk about “identity services” instead of social networks. Identity became synonymous with fixed, verified, monetizable personhood.

Meanwhile, its opposite, Anonymous, became synonymous for many with sheer chaos, whether they were attacking online businesses or careless celebrities. Fights over pseudonyms and identity verification at Google+ (aka “the Nym Wars“) only showed that sorting out online identity had reached an unhappy, polarized stalemate.

Christopher “moot” Poole, founder of message- and mediaboards 4chan and Canvas, might seem like an unlikely voice to advance or complicate this discussion. Now 23 years old, Poole created 4chan at 15; over time the site became as famous for its embrace of anonymous posting and anarchic subculture, as its ability to generate and spread internet memes like lolcats or Rickrolling. Because of 4chan, Poole’s generally been treated by the media and at high-profile idea salons as an apologist for anonymity, even when his exact position has always been more complicated.""

Astonishingly, More Digital Data Was Transmitted Over the Internet in The Year 2010 *Than All Previous Years Combined* !!!

""Skaugen said although there are currently 4 billion connected devices around the world, Intel expects that number to increase to 15 billion by 2015 and 50 billion by 2020.

Many servers and computers will face challenges from these increases, including those that support the 48 hours of YouTube videos uploaded each minute, 200 million tweets sent per day and 7.5 billion photos uploaded to Facebook each month.

To support this amount of data sharing around the world, Intel and other computer companies have to find ways to make the Internet hardware cheaper and easier to use. It is an extension of Moore’s Law, and is necessary for the expected increases in data sharing.

“When Intel entered the server market, the average server price was $58,000, and today we’re under $3,800 and dropping,” said Skaugen.""

Seeing Through Concrete Walls: Researchers at MIT’s Lincoln Lab Have Developed New Radar Technology That provides Real-Time Video of What’s Going on Behind Solid Walls

""The ability to see through walls is no longer the stuff of science fiction, thanks to new radar technology developed at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory.

Much as humans and other animals see via waves of visible light that bounce off objects and then strike our eyes’ retinas, radar “sees” by sending out radio waves that bounce off targets and return to the radar’s receivers. But just as light can’t pass through solid objects in quantities large enough for the eye to detect, it’s hard to build radar that can penetrate walls well enough to show what’s happening behind. Now, Lincoln Lab researchers have built a system that can see through walls from some distance away, giving an instantaneous picture of the activity on the other side.

The researchers’ device is an unassuming array of antenna arranged into two rows — eight receiving elements on top, 13 transmitting ones below — and some computing equipment, all mounted onto a movable cart. But it has powerful implications for military operations, especially “urban combat situations,” says Gregory Charvat, technical staff at Lincoln Lab and the leader of the project. ""

New Form of Superhard Glass Carbon: Amorphous Diamond Created At Carnegie's Geophysical Laboratory Under Ultrahigh Pressure

""This breakthrough discovery will be published in Physical Review Letters.

The team was led by Stanford's Wendy L. Mao and her graduate student Yu Lin and includes Carnegie's Ho-kwang (Dave) Mao, Li Zhang, Paul Chow, Yuming Xiao, Maria Baldini, and Jinfu Shu. The experiment started with a form of carbon called glassy carbon, which was first synthesized in the 1950s, and was found to combine desirable properties of glasses and ceramics with those of graphite. The team created the new carbon allotrope by compressing glassy carbon to above 400,000 times normal atmospheric pressure.

This new carbon form was capable of withstanding 1.3 million times normal atmospheric pressure in one direction while confined under a pressure of 600,000 times atmospheric levels in other directions. No substance other than diamond has been observed to withstand this type of pressure stress, indicating that the new carbon allotrope must indeed be very strong.""

Infographic: The Biggest Data Security Breaches of All Time

""Say "data breach" to a typical consumer – especially a gamer – and you'll probably summon forth thoughts of Sony's big PlayStation Network breach from earlier this year. According to research from Rasmussen College's School of Technology & Design, the collective hacking incidents – and subsequent network outages – affecting Sony's gaming services ate up an estimated $6 billion in costs and affected more than 100 million user accounts. 

And that figure doesn't even count the latest reported Sony breaches: What appears to be a brute-force hacking attempt that compromised more than 93,000 accounts across a variety of Sony properties, including the Sony Entertainment Network, the PlayStation Network, and Sony Online Entertainment. According to reports, the accounts were allegedly breached sometime between October 7 and October 10. 

That said, Sony's woes aren't the largest data breach recorded in modern times – either measured by the number of accounts compromised or the estimation of the total costs of the attack. Rasmussen College has laid out the historical perspective in a handy infographic, which we've included at the bottom of this story. But here's a spoiler: A 2008 data breach of Heartland Payment Systems, which processes credit card transactions for more than 250,000 merchants across the country, affected an estimated 130 million credit and debit card accounts to the tune of $7.8 billion in total costs.

But it's not all just doom and gloom in the world of data security. According to Rasmussen College's statistics, more than 1,200 individuals were arrested for cybercrime in 2010. And these arrests allegedly prevented approximately $7 billion in total losses.""

Sea Levels Will Continue To Rise For 500 Years: Perhaps One of the Most Catastrophic Consequences of Rising Temperatures

 ""Rising sea levels in the coming centuries is perhaps one of the most catastrophic consequences of rising temperatures. Massive economic costs, social consequences and forced migrations could result from global warming. But how frightening of times are we facing? Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute are part of a team that has calculated the long-term outlook for rising sea levels in relation to the emission of greenhouse gases and pollution of the atmosphere using climate models. The results have been published in the scientific journal Global and Planetary Change.

"Based on the current situation we have projected changes in sea level 500 years into the future. We are not looking at what is happening with the climate, but are focusing exclusively on sea levels", explains Aslak Grinsted, a researcher at the Centre for Ice and Climate, the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen. 

Model based on actual measurements 

He has developed a model in collaboration with researchers from England and China that is based on what happens with the emission of greenhouse gases and aerosols and the pollution of the atmosphere. Their model has been adjusted backwards to the actual measurements and was then used to predict the outlook for rising sea levels. 

The research group has made calculations for four scenarios:

A pessimistic one, where the emissions continue to increase. This will mean that sea levels will rise 1.1 meters by the year 2100 and will have risen 5.5 meters by the year 2500.""

Dark Matter Mystery Deepens: We Know Less About Dark Matter Than We Did Before," Asserts Lead Author Matt Walker, a Hubble Fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center For Astrophysics.

"""Our measurements contradict a basic prediction about the structure of cold dark matter in dwarf galaxies. Unless or until theorists can modify that prediction, cold dark matter is inconsistent with our observational data," Walker stated.

Dwarf galaxies are composed of up to 99 percent dark matter and only one percent normal matter like stars. This disparity makes dwarf galaxies ideal targets for astronomers seeking to understand dark matter.

Walker and his co-author Jorge Peñarrubia (University of Cambridge, UK) analyzed the dark matter distribution in two Milky Way neighbors: the Fornax and Sculptor dwarf galaxies. These galaxies hold one million to 10 million stars, compared to about 400 billion in our galaxy. The team measured the locations, speeds and basic chemical compositions of 1500 to 2500 stars.

"Stars in a dwarf galaxy swarm like bees in a beehive instead of moving in nice, circular orbits like a spiral galaxy," explained Peñarrubia. "That makes it much more challenging to determine the distribution of dark matter."

Their data showed that in both cases, the dark matter is distributed uniformly over a relatively large region, several hundred light-years across. This contradicts the prediction that the density of dark matter should increase sharply toward the centers of these galaxies.

"If a dwarf galaxy were a peach, the standard cosmological model says we should find a dark matter 'pit' at the center. Instead, the first two dwarf galaxies we studied are like pitless peaches," said Peñarrubia.

Some have suggested that interactions between normal and dark matter could spread out the dark matter, but current simulations don't indicate that this happens in dwarf galaxies. The new measurements imply that either normal matter affects dark matter more than expected, or dark matter isn't "cold." The team hopes to determine which is true by studying more dwarf galaxies, particularly galaxies with an even higher percentage of dark matter.

The paper discussing this research was accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal and is available online.""

Foreigners Dump $74 Billion In Treasurys In 6 Consecutive Weeks: Biggest Sequential Outflow In History

""Over the weekend, we observed the perplexing sell off of $56 billion in US Treasurys courtesy of weekly disclosure in the Fed's custodial account (source: H.4.1) and speculated if this may be due to an asset rotation, under duress or otherwise, out of bonds and into stocks, to prevent the collapse of the global ponzi (because when the BRICs tell the IMF to boost its bailout capacity you know it is global). We also proposed a far simpler theory: "the dreaded D-day in which foreign official and private investors finally start offloading their $2.7 trillion in Treasurys with impunity (although not with the element of surprise - China has made it abundantly clear it will sell its Treasury holdings, the only question is when), has finally arrived." In hindsight the Occam's Razor should have been applied. Little did we know 5 short days ago just how violent the reaction by China would be (both post and pre-facto) to the Senate decision to propose a law for all out trade warfare with China. Now we know - in the week ended October 12, a further $17.7 billion was "removed" from the Fed's custodial Treasury account, meaning that someone, somewhere is very displeased with US paper, and, far more importantly, what it represents, and wants to make their displeasure heard loud and clear.""

Redrawing The Arctic Map: The New North Getting To Grips With a Changing Polar Landscape <> Scientific Challenges in the Arctic: Open Water As the Ice Melts, Fresh Obstacles Confront Arctic Researchers

""The Arctic covers around 5% of the planet's surface, but it is capturing a disproportionate amount of attention. With temperatures rising at twice the global rate, the region's summer sea ice is shrinking rapidly, making access easier than ever before. At the same time, countries are racing to claim parts of the Arctic's sea floor and the vast deposits of hydrocarbons that lie beneath it.

Disappearing sea ice 

Since satellite observations started in 1979, the September sea-ice extent has declined by 12% per decade, and the past 5 years have marked the lowest on record. The ice cover is thinning (see graph), making it more vulnerable to warmer temperatures. Forecasts by climate models (see graph) suggest that summer sea ice will largely disappear in the second half of the century, but the current rate of ice loss exceeds the models' forecasts, suggesting that ice-free conditions could arrive sooner.""

http://www.nature.com/news/2011/111012/full/478172a.html

""Last month, US researchers took a 4,000-tonne gamble when they steered the Marcus G. Langseth through the Bering Strait and into the Arctic Ocean. The 72-metre research vessel was not built to plow through ice, so it had never ventured that far poleward before.

But the rules are changing quickly in the new north. Managers at the US National Science Foundation (NSF), which owns the ship, decided to send the Langseth into the Arctic after reviewing satellite images that showed that the intended survey area in the Chukchi Sea had been largely clear of ice for four of the past five summers.

In an e-mail to Nature during the cruise, its principal investigator, Bernard Coakley, said: "We are rolling the dice a bit to take her up north." But the bet paid off for Coakley, a marine geologist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Sea-ice coverage was at near-record lows this summer, and the Langseth — due back in dock this week — has not encountered any troubling ice.

With the Arctic warming roughly twice as fast as the rest of the globe, there is more need than ever to monitor the changing conditions there. And the retreating summer sea ice is opening up new options for scientists who want to explore the once difficult-to-reach Arctic waters, allowing them, for example, to use vessels other than icebreakers.

But the scientists are not alone. Businesses, too, are racing to exploit the Arctic — for tourism, fishing, transportation and, especially, resources such as hydrocarbons. According to the US Geological Survey, the Arctic could hold up to 30% of the world's undiscovered gas and as much as 13% of its undiscovered oil¹.

Online collection

Governments keen to access this wealth are stepping up their activities in the area as a prelude to claiming rights to resources in vast swathes of territory under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). When Russia planted a flag on the sea bed under the North Pole in 2007, many people saw the action as a symbolic statement about the country's territorial ambitions — a view bolstered this July when Russia pledged to station two brigades permanently in the Arctic. The next month, Canada launched its annual sovereignty operation in the Arctic and claimed that it now had more military capability in the region than ever before.""

London Olympic 2012 Logo Meets More Controversy As Nations See it as a Symbol of Zion, Copulation, Nazi, Subversive Literacy Conspiracy Design

""The design has been controversial because many in London disliked its style. In addition, the bright color palette and flashy advertising campaign that accompanied the logo design were claimed to cause seizures in people with epilepsy and other neurological disorders. The somewhat abstract design has been compared to everything from a swastika to people engaged in intimate activities. In addition, the UK government paid a bundle for the logo—more than many felt was necessary. However, Iran dislikes the London 2012 logo design not for its color or its eighties retro design, but because the government of the Middle Eastern nation believes that it spells out the word ‘Zion’. 

This new complaint was released this week, four years after the logo design was unveiled. Iran is serious about its allegations, backing them up with a former protest filed with the International Olympic Committee. Iran is threatening to boycott the Olympic Games unless the design is changed and the creators held accountable for what the nation considers a disgrace. Iran believes that many Middle Eastern countries will follow them in their boycott of the games.""

Last month Guido Tonelli, a spokesman for the Compact Muon Solenoid Detector, a huge particle detector at CERN, said that even if the LHR was able to rule out the existence of the Higgs boson, that would be a major achievement in itself.""

Scientist Prove DNA Can Be Reprogrammed by Words and Frequencies: Esoteric and Spiritual Teachers Have Known For Ages

THE HUMAN DNA IS A BIOLOGICAL INTERNET and superior in many aspects to the artificial one. Russian scientific research directly or indirectly explains phenomena such as clairvoyance, intuition, spontaneous and remote acts of healing, self healing, affirmation techniques, unusual light/auras around people (namely spiritual masters), mind’s influence on weather patterns and much more. In addition, there is evidence for a whole new type of medicine in which DNA can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies WITHOUT cutting out and replacing single genes.

 

Only 10% of our DNA is being used for building proteins. It is this subset of DNA that is of interest to western researchers and is being examined and categorized. The other 90% are considered “junk DNA.” The Russian researchers, however, convinced that nature was not dumb, joined linguists and geneticists in a venture to explore those 90% of “junk DNA.” Their results, findings and conclusions are simply revolutionary! According to them, our DNA is not only responsible for the construction of our body but also serves as data storage and in communication. The Russian linguists found that the genetic code, especially in the apparently useless 90%, follows the same rules as all our human languages. To this end they compared the rules of syntax (the way in which words are put together to form phrases and sentences), semantics (the study of meaning in language forms) and the basic rules of grammar. They found that the alkalines of our DNA follow a regular grammar and do have set rules just like our languages. So human languages did not appear coincidentally but are a reflection of our inherent DNA.

Computer Virus Hits U.S. Drone Fleet Cockpits of America’s Predator and Reaper

 ""A computer virus has infected the cockpits of America’s Predator and Reaper drones, logging pilots’ every keystroke as they remotely fly missions over Afghanistan and other warzones.

The virus, first detected nearly two weeks ago by the military’s Host-Based Security System, has not prevented pilots at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada from flying their missions overseas. Nor have there been any confirmed incidents of classified information being lost or sent to an outside source. But the virus has resisted multiple efforts to remove it from Creech’s computers, network security specialists say. And the infection underscores the ongoing security risks in what has become the U.S. military’s most important weapons system.

“We keep wiping it off, and it keeps coming back,” says a source familiar with the network infection, one of three that told Danger Room about the virus. “We think it’s benign. But we just don’t know.”

Military network security specialists aren’t sure whether the virus and its so-called “keylogger” payload were introduced intentionally or by accident; it may be a common piece of malware that just happened to make its way into these sensitive networks. The specialists don’t know exactly how far the virus has spread. But they’re sure that the infection has hit both classified and unclassified machines at Creech. That raises the possibility, at least, that secret data may have been captured by the keylogger, and then transmitted over the public internet to someone outside the military chain of command.""

Measuring Billions of Elusive Neutrinos Flowing Through the Earth, UMass Amherst Physicists Learn More about the Sun

 ""AMHERST, Mass. - Using one of the most sensitive neutrino detectors on the planet, an international team including physicists Laura Cadonati and Andrea Pocar at the University of Massachusetts Amherst are now measuring the flow of solar neutrinos reaching earth more precisely than ever before. The detector probes matter at the most fundamental level and provides a powerful tool for directly observing the sun’s composition.

Pocar, Cadonati and colleagues report in the current issue of Physical Review Letters that the Borexino instrument has now measured with high precision the flux of the beryllium seven (7Be) solar neutrino, abundant, low-energy particles once below the observable threshold. With this advance, they can now precisely study the behavior of solar neutrinos with kinetic energy below 1 megaelectron volt (MeV). Borexino scientists also recently reported the first observation of neutrinos produced in a little-studied solar nuclear process known as proton-electron-proton, or pep, and set of stringent limit on reactions involving carbon, nitrogen and oxygen (the CNO cycle) in the sun.

Cadonati says, "Borexino is the only detector capable of observing the entire spectrum of solar neutrinos at once. Our results, the culmination of 20 years of research, greatly narrow the observation precision. The data confirm the neutrino oscillations, flavor changes and flow predicted by models of the sun and particle physics."""

The "Getting" of Assange and the Smearing of a Revolution

""This Kafka-style justice awaits Assange whether or not Sweden decides to prosecute him. Last December, the Independent disclosed that the US and Sweden had already started talks on Assange's extradition. At the same time, a secret grand jury - a relic of the 18th century long abandoned in this country - has convened just across the river from Washington, in a corner of Virginia that is home to the CIA and most of America's national security establishment. The grand jury is a "fix," a leading legal expert told me: reminiscent of the all-white juries in the South that convicted blacks by rote. A sealed indictment is believed to exist.

 

Under the US Constitution, which guarantees free speech, Assange should be protected, in theory. When he was running for president, Obama, himself a constitutional lawyer, said, "Whistleblowers are part of a healthy democracy and must be protected from reprisal." His embrace of George W. Bush's "war on terror" has changed all that. Obama has pursued more whistleblowers than any US president. The problem for his administration in "getting" Assange and crushing WikiLeaks is that military investigators have found no collusion or contact between him and Manning, reports NBC. There is no crime, so one has to be concocted, probably in line with Vice President Joe Biden's absurd description of Assange as a "hi-tech terrorist."

Should Assange win his High Court appeal in London, he could face extradition direct to the United States. In the past, US officials have synchronized extradition warrants with the conclusion of a pending case. Like its predatory military, American jurisdiction recognizes few boundaries. As the suffering of Bradley Manning demonstrates, together with the recently executed Troy Davis and the forgotten inmates of Guantanamo, much of the US criminal justice system is corrupt if not lawless.""
