GE Claims That The Chinese Will Not Get U.S. Aviation Secrets
Defense giant GE is claiming that Congressman Randy Forbes (R-Va.) had "his facts wrong" when he demanded a Pentagon investigation into the company's partnership with China's AVIC aviation company aimed at building avionics systems for Chinese airliners.
Forbes wrote Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Oct. 17, asking for the Defense Department to investigate the partnership, claiming that the avionics' design was based on the same systems used in the United States premiere fighter jets, the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

Sarah Palin says: "Fire Eric Holder."
He's either lying [about Fast & Furious] or he's so grossly incompetent and lazy that he didn't read important life and death briefings from his deputy attorney general and didn't know about this deadly operation run by people under him. So, which is it? Incompetent, lazy, or lying? No matter which explanation fits, he needs to go.

City Governments Attempt to Hijack the Occupy Movement
Occupy Portland is the latest to receive an ultimatum to vacate city park premises. Like Tucson, Boston, Denver, Phoenix, Berkeley and Oakland, the city of Portland has threatened to violate occupiers' First Amendment rights in a cynical attempt to move the focus of the Occupy movement away from the core issue of economic justice.
As cover, it appears that the City of Portland is leaning heavily on a few isolated incidents. A 29-year-old man threw a Molotov cocktail onto the stairs of Portland's World Trade Center. The man had a penchant for arson and just traveled from Redding, California, before committing the crime. Two additional incidents involving non-lethal overdoses were also cited as rationale for shutting down the occupation. Simply put, the City of Portland has failed to prove that the protesters of Occupy Portland are direct threats to public safety.
In fact, no city has successfully justified denying its citizens their First Amendment rights. The motive behind risking liability for First Amendment violations in civil court appears to be short-term technique of distraction. Each of these municipalities are risking civil rights lawsuits in an apparent attempt distract the movement from their most threatening subject to the status quo: economic justice.
Ironically, mayors, council members, managers and clerks are not part of the 1%. For these bureaucrats, there is no special seat in the post apocalyptic cave awaiting them. They are not going to be hanging out with Dr. Strangelove after the end-times fantasy is fulfilled. So how strong an influence can the 1% have on city leaders? One experienced litigator, Bill Risner, eloquently broached this subject to Tucson's Mayor and Council. The best suggestion for these cities is to stop was [...]

Think Katju is wrong? Take the Sans Serif Test!
The press council chairman, Justice Markandey Katju, has hit journalists—especially journalists who show off their JNU, St. Stephen’s, ACJ, Presidency, St. Xavier’s, Loyola, IIT-IIM, Colombia, Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge credentials in their sentence constructions—where it hurts most.
In saying that he did not think that we have “any knowledge of economic theory or political science or literature or philosophy“, the former Supreme Court judge has stopped just short of calling us idiots and ignoramuses, who presume a divine right to inform, educate and entertain the world, no questions asked.
To no one’s surprise, the egos punctured by Katju have responded in kind (here, here, here).
But there is another way to prove Justice Katju wrong than dashing off indignant press releases reeking with anger and self-righteousness. And that is to show him that we have read something and that we do actually have some knowledge of economic theory, political science, literature and philosophy.
(You do, don’t you?)
At the invitation of sans serif, Mastermind India runner-up Prof
