Google Worries about Spying

Written by Conan Tuesday, 30 April 2013 10:00

Maybe this is better late than never, but it would appear that Google all-of-a-sudden has a conscious about spying. And yet, here they are talking about how easy it is to track someone all the time using their software, and so forth. They say the technology to do so already exists and just needs to be lined up by the government. About time 1984 got here! Where's John Galt?  

An NPR Tell-All about Labor

Written by Conan Wednesday, 27 March 2013 09:12

This is a very surprising - and journalistic - article from NPR. Although it is somewhat of a long article, the information found in this article is amazing to fathom. In short, nothing has improved with labor statistics; it has merely be moved around to look good. This ranges from welfare to disabilities and so forth. Give a read for interesting talking points in the future.  

Wanted: Call of Duty Replacement

Written by Conan Tuesday, 29 January 2013 00:06

Black Ops II is no better than MW3. I have tried to tell myself that MW3 was just total and utter crap and that Blops 2 is the CoD savior, but it just isn't true. They are both equal in the amount of crap they pile upon the player. The game is so frustrating that I cannot play it on Sunday because of how often I take the Lord's name in vain. I figure that's more weekday talk.

 

 

New York Times Blame FBI

Written by Conan Tuesday, 01 May 2012 11:20

This is a rather gutsy article from the Ol' Grey Lady, and we'll give them some credit for that. All those would-be terrorists that get caught by the FBI are curiously propped up by ... the FBI. In fact, in all cases mentioned, it seems the FBI found, abetted, and finally arrested these terrorists who evidently were useless without the FBI. Curious indeed.  

Simpson Location Revealed

Written by Conan Tuesday, 10 April 2012 14:37

Of course, just about every Oregonian knew that the real location of  "Springfield" where the Simpson's lived was in Oregon - since its creator Matt Groening was from Oregon - but speculation still abounded nonetheless. Finally, Oregonians have been vindicated in this months Smithsonian magazine. But is this worth being prideful...?  

Less Press Freedom

Written by Conan Thursday, 26 January 2012 11:48

If you live in "the land of the free," you may be a little surprised to hear that the US, between 2010 and 2011, fell 135% from their previous position of #20th, to #47 on the press freedom scale. Meanwhile, Canada took 10th place and Finland was #1. Isn't there a provision in the Bill of Rights about freedom of the press? What country are we, again?

Written by Conan Saturday, 17 December 2011 17:17

Best we keep things in perspective here. And just as before, there were some stories in this list that we didn't even know about. However, according to Alternet, these are the top 8 stories that were under-reported for 2011. Some of these stories will make you sad - just a warning to the sensative people out there.  

Diversity v. Equality

Written by Conan Saturday, 05 November 2011 09:50

If you're college educated just like everyone here at LP, then you've probably been through the ringer of "cultural diversity" and "equality for all." The interesting point of those two philosophies is that they do not intersect. And here is a little article pointing out the flaw of this globalist push. Enjoy.  

Anonymous v. NYSE

Written by Conan Monday, 03 October 2011 20:40

This could be huge, but until it happens, we're not putting it into the "news" section. Nevertheless, Anonymous has made a two minute video stating that on October 10th, they will be removing the New York Stock Exchange from the internet. Quite the undertaking with major implications to ... everyone. LP sits on the sideline, curious to see what becomes of this.  

China's "Financial Weapon" against the US

Written by Conan Wednesday, 17 August 2011 19:50

We'll put this under commentary since it is commentary albeit in the flagship newspaper of China; the People's Daily. In this translated article you'll note that China is considering to use the "financial weapon" to make certain the US starts behaving. Seems they aren't happy with our friendship with Taiwan, among other things.  

Spiderman Dead: Long Live the (Gay) Aberration

Written by Conan Wednesday, 03 August 2011 09:36

We're not even going to count this as news as we're so disgusted with this "change": Spiderman is dead and has been reincarnated into a half-black, half-Mexican character. Now, that's not the big deal here. The real news is that he is potentially gay as well. Wonder how Mary Jane feels knowing she made him go gay? Say, she's on the rebound now, whoot!  

Anonymous has a Plan

Written by Conan Monday, 11 July 2011 13:21

Anonymous has posted a video regarding their "plan" which is a 3 part endeavour. Phase 1 already started, and phase two will be completed in November. Whatever your stance is with this hacker group, just bear in mind that at this point, it seems no one has been able to stop them. And they claim to be working on something big...  

Interesting Article from ZeroHedge

Written by Conan Friday, 17 June 2011 23:10

Found this an interesting study: "What gets me nervous is that they could project on him because this man Obama was and remains a mirage.  An illusion.  Someone whose greatness exists only in the minds of those who adore him for reasons they cannot even articulate because it is simply not rational." Read away and see the parallels.
