POPSZinn: 9/11 Truth Has "No Practical Political Significance" Without 9/11 there would be no "War on Terror". Without 9/11 there would be no "clash of civilizations" Without 9/11 there would be no war in Afghanistan. Without 9/11 there would be no war in Iraq. Without 9/11 thousands of U.S. troops would not have been sent to their deaths. Without 9/11 hundreds of thousands of citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan would not have been sentenced to their deaths. Without 9/11 there would be no inaction on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Without 9/11 there would be no civilian contractors in Iraq and the scandal that has followed. Without 9/11 there would be no false military reporting (Pat Tillman, Jessica Lynch), and no crack down on the freedom of the press (banning photos of the returning coffins.)

POPSIs There a Privacy Risk in Google Flu Trends? From the article: "But he insisted that, by highlighting the unresolved problem, Google Flu Trends made things worse. “I think this does change the game,” he said. “Google is inviting public health officials to make more of search information. In doing so, it has heightened the privacy risk to people who search for health information online.” Or perhaps it has just let people know that if they are concerned about the privacy of those searches, they should use a computer at their local library or some other place where tracking them would be harder." Maybe, it is our notion of privacy that is ought to change? after all whenever we use a new technology it bounds to use the user as well..

POPSA Credit Crisis or a Collapsing Ponzi Scheme? 
the scheme is exposed, because when legal authorities begin examining accounting records of the so-called enterprise they find that many of the 'assets' that should exist do not." here’s where we are today. The promoters have clearly not vanished as in outcome 1. In fact, they are behaving as if they know they have nothing to fear. We are definitely seeing all the signs of outcome 2: the scheme is collapsing under its own weight; there are panic runs around the globe wherever Wall Street has left its footprint. outcome 3 Instead of arresting the perpetrators and shutting down the schemes, Federal authorities have developed their own new schemes and pumped over $2 trillion of taxpayer money into propping up the firms while leaving the schemers in place. Equally astonishing, Congress has not held any meaningful investigations. This has left many Wall Street veterans wondering if the problem isn’t that the firms are “too big to fail” but rather “too Ponzi-like to prosecute.

POPS So Good The Washington Independent on the prospect for “Church-Pike” hearings by the Senate Judiciary Committee, another great idea to hamstring and distract intelligence services in wartime that Obama may discover, sort of like closing Guantanamo, isn’t the greatest idea. Human rights groups want some drama with their national angst. Detainee Truth Commissions, please. Because fighting al-Qaeda = Apartheid.

POPSSuspicious: Mexican Minister Killed in Plane Crash Could be a hit job, for he was also a rising political figure, and had many other officials on the plane, including former asst. Attorney General (read Prosecutor). Has alot of the marks of a political targeting (Mexican mafia cartels), not just an accident. It crashed into the financial district too. Someone was "sending a strong message" perhaps, that "accidents can happen" to those who mess with the drug cartels. Video by BBC at link. Who wants to be the next Interior Minister in Mexico (involved in battling drug trade)? Any takers?

POPS4 ways to monitor Linux via web System administrators need to keep an eye on their servers to make sure things are running smoothly. If they find a problem, they need to see when it started, so investigations can focus on what happened at that time. That means logging information at regular intervals and having a quick way to analyse this data. Here’s a look at several tools that let you monitor one or more servers from a Web interface.

POPSWhatever it takes to win! Democrats are gearing up for whatever happens on Election Day. Should Obama win, champagne will flow, McCain will make a concession speech, and all will be well with the world. But should Obama lose, McCain will pop the cork, and Lawsuits will fly into courthouses across the land.

POPSTito The Builder Refuses To Accept "Crumbs From Obama's Table" First there was Joe the Plumber. And now Tito the Builder - giving the "tanked" media a earful. I love this guy. Go Tito!!! Tito refuses to accept handouts from the government and worries that the First Amendment right to free speech is under threat from far-leftists' censorship. He's quite impressive in his patriotism and his understanding of the US Constitution. Also, he'd expressed fear that illegal investigations will be conducted into his private life and business that would be published in the media, out of retaliation for his support of the McCain ticket.

POPSScottish Tory linked to Russian oligarch. There is an absolute fear in telling the truth about dealings with the mega rich Russians. They are steeped in the blood of their competitors, reign over a nation that has no concept of legal or moral justice, act like Czars in their own right...but the Russians are worse. Had anyone with a minute particle of a brain watched Labour destroy the last vestiges of democracy this week, their humiliation of all Parliamentary process, their complete denial of Parliament to debate whilst they GOVERN - is something that ought to send fear through the veins of every Briton. Now we are to believe that MI6 is working for the Master Party? They are all working for themselves and thanks to the Academic Idiot Osbourne, we can all see it for ourself.

POPSObama Gets Tough on Voter Fraud-- Prosecutors Obama's get tough policy to fight voter fraud prosecutors is another fine example of his tough on crime stance. There is no crime too nefarious to not get protection from the Obama campaign. As long as you are a supporter of the 'chosen one' then you are a friend of this democrat. There are none too nefarious nor controversial that are not welcome in the Obama camp. All criminals are welcomed with open arms along with arsonists, domestic terrorist, and dictatorial tyrants. Felons after all are being given the right to vote along with illegal immigrants and other law breakers. OBAMA the friend of the fiends and felons. A tireless opposer of anyone who attempts to fight crime.

POPS Police: Ashley Todd's "Moment Of Truth" Investigators also said bank surveillance photos did not back up the woman's initial story of being attacked at an ATM. Police interviewed Todd after she contacted police Wednesday night and again on Thursday, Bryant said. They asked her to come back Friday, ostensibly to help police put together a sketch of the man. Instead, detectives began interviewing her. "They just started talking to her and she just opened up and said she wanted to tell the truth," Bryant said.

That did happen : A husband and wife are dealing with emotions of regret and embarrassment, after the husband pulled the hair of an Obama campaign worker during an altercation outside their house Saturday afternoon.
