A "magazine" published by the Washington Post is reporting that the United States Federal Aviation Administration has determined the act of shooting down a drone is a felony under rules in 18 USC. 32 against damaging or destroying aircraft. The FAA is advancing this draconian interpretation of the law in spite of most incidents of drones being shot down occurring with responsible gun owners rightly defending their lives and property against menacing drones. With this decision the FAA has valued the well being of fragile chunks of plastic that sell for less than any pickup truck in running condition over the liberty of actual flesh and blood persons. Peace in our time and goodwill to all who aren't men.

Senior Swindler Sentenced
The Florida Sun-Sentinial reports that a Canadian man was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison for swindling seniors out of nearly $1 million in funds, some of which were converted to Bitcoin in an attempt to make hiding them easier.(archived). Stephan Moskwyn pled guilty to a money laundering charge at a federal courthouse in Miami. The scheme involved social engineering tactics on Seniors and vulnerable people, often requesting the person send Bitcoin or Moneypaks to assist a relative in financial trouble. Moskwyn was arrested in a Miami International Airport terminal in October of 2015.
A search revealed no Mr. Moskwyn in The Most Serene Republic's Web of Trust.
Putin Providing Material Support To Trump-Clinton Candidacy
As the candidacies of Donald Trump-Clinton and Hilary Rodham-Clinton have begun facing struggles these past few week in their respective races to replace Hussein Bahamas as the president of the United States, Russian president Vladimir Putin has decided to give their campaigns a shot in the arm. Putins aid has come in the form of bringing national security back in mix of froth being fed into the social engineering hopper. For the past few days Russian SU-24 warplanes have been making simulated attack runs against the guided missile destroyer USS Donald Cook. The warplanes have been making the passes without any visible armament and have reportedly come within 30 feet of the ship. A Russian KA-27 helicopter has even joined in the fun circling the Donald Cook several times. How much of an effect Putin's intervention in the remaining portion of the primary election process has remains to be seen.
FBI Director Comey Admits To Taping Over Webcam After Speech
During a question and answer session following a speech at Kenyon College, FBI Director James Comey admitted he taped over his laptop's webcam to avoid being spied upon. Taping over laptop webcams is a popular though weak method for ensuring a computer can not visually spy on your person. The stronger and correct method to mitigate these concerns is physically disconnecting the laptop's web camera and its microphone. Depending on the level of concern about a computers integrity actual mitigations for privacy concerns may be applied all the way through actually airgapping a machine.
DoctorClu Pleads Out Leaving CMU Tor Attack Unlikely To Be Contested In Court
DoctorClu, slave name Brian Farrell, had his guilty plea for a single count for distribution of heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine formally accepted by a Federal Judge. By entering a guilty plea Farrell will be unable to send complaints about his prosecution through appellate courts keeping them from weighing in on the constitutionality of the collaboration between Carnegie Mellon University and the FBI to overtly wreck the Tor Network. This supports the view commonly expressed on forums discussing darknet markets that DoctorClu is a coward. Meanwhile unchecked "law enforcement" agents in the United States are reflexively gunning down black males who merely take the fight against breast cancer seriously by carrying pink rifles to support the cause. DoctorClu is scheduled to be sentenced on June 3rd, 2016. His attorneys and the prosecution have already agreed to argue together the merits of an 8 year prison sentence and asset forfeiture for their client before the judge.
US Spy Agency To Demolish Low Income Housing
This week it was announced that the US National Geospatial-Intelligence agency is moving its western headquarters from the southern portion of Saint Louis, Missouri to an area in the north of the city (archived). Much of the chosen site is vacant land that was once home to failed the Pruitt–Igoe public housing, but in order to fully accommodate the spy facility a number of happily inhabited homes will be taken through eminent domain and demolished. Certain quirks of the neighborhood and their affect on property values mean that affected home owners will be unable to replace their commandeered housing with anything comparable when they are compensated according to their homes "fair market value" as is traditional in eminent domain cases. It turns out the property development tactics of Hussein Bahamas aren't all that different from those of serial scammer and bankruptcy artist Donald Trump-Clinton.
US Court Upholds Right To Feed Legal Profession
The United States Supreme Court issued a decision in the case Luis v. United States covered earlier on Qntra upholding the right of United States citizens to access assets frozen pretrial, but only so long as they spend those assets on securing a lawyer of their choosing. This decision one of the first in the post Scalia era, offers only a gentle reminder to agents of the criminal gang occupying the halls of governance in Washington DC that a defendants right to select counsel of their choosing is in the United States constitution while the gang's interest in delivering punishment and securing restitution aren't and for that reason a defendant may access assets. Not because Luis's money is Luis' money, but because the piece of paper allows the money to be spent that way. The decision is presented in full below: Continue reading
Iphone Circlejerk Ends With Status Quo Maintained For Now
The FBI iPhone Circle jerk has ended with numerous media sources reporting that the FBI has entered a filing into court stating that they had managed to retrieve the information they desired from the iPhone through means other than compelling Apple's help. This circle jerk, which was a joint production brought to you by Apple Inc. and the FBI, managed to accomplish its intended biscuit wetting. As per the popular Hegelian dialectic substantial discussion was generated, a few lols were had, and and outcome was reached. That outcome is continuing the present subterfuge and opacity it uses when gathering evidence electronically while waiting for a better test case for continuing the social engineering dialogue.
March To Clinton Coronation Bumps Into Subaru Socialist Sweep
Substantial noise has been made over Donald Trump-Clinton's campaign in the minor US socialist party's nominating contests while coverage of the major socialist party's nominating contest has been quieter with the coronation of Hilary Rodham-Clinton assumed to be a virtual inevitability. That narrative of inevitability however took a serious blow on Saturday as Subaru socialists turned out in droves to deliver notable geriatric Bernie Sanders a sweep with wins in 3 nominating contests. The margins of victory Sanders enjoyed over Rodham-Clinton were 40% in Hawaii, 46% in Washington state, and 63% in Alaska. With these overwhelming victories the gap in pledged convention delegates between Sanders and Rodham-Clinton has substantially closed. Continue reading
Chicago To 'scape Around Hole
A hole in the city of Chicago is about to get some much needed 'scaping to improve its aesthetics (archived). The 78 foot deep hole on the Chicago Shoreline located between the North and South portions of the city was intended to serve as a foundation for the placement of a 2000 foot tall spire which would stand proudly in the hole as the tallest tower in the City. Economic malaise however lead to an inability to erect the tower so it was largely abandoned for dirt and weedy growth to take over the area surrounding it. The site of the hole sits next to Chicago's Navy pier which prominently juts out into Lake Michigan. This new attention should vastly improve the appearance of the area around Chicago's hole, or at least improve it when viewed from ground level.
