Back in the Saddle

Boo ya,
Oh my god, here's something about ubiquitous computing.

And here's an excerpt from the article:

"...just by walking down the street you could be subject to a personal biometric system, you could be scanned by the gateway of the transit system, there could be something embedded in the street or in the flooring beneath you... you could be touching other tangible interfaces in the environment around you... the lamp posts and the other features of the streetscape could have informational services... and last but not least there's the surveillance element, there's a UAV, a robotic helicopter which is also surveying the cityscape and communicating with all of these devices... This is really what I mean by a transformation of the relationship between user and device. This person is not a user anymore in any real sense of the English world, they are a subject."
It may seem like a vision of a distant science fiction world, but this scenario laid out by Adam Greenfield, author of "Everyware: The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous Computing", could be just around the corner. In fact, at this very moment in South Korea an entire city, a "U-city", is being built that utilizes ubiquitous technology. It had it's first test run in March of last year. Several other countries are currently planning, or are currently building cities modeled around South Korea's U-city.

What exactly is Ubiquitous Computing?

An "Everyware" world, as Adam Greenfield calls it, is a world in which computers are embedded and merged seamlessly everywhere in the environment. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags communicate their position and other information constantly in a vast network. Everyday objects become "searchable" as if they were part of the interconnected world wide web. Surveillance in an "Everyware" world is perfected to a degree that is unimaginable. Scientific management of people and the environment we inhabit becomes possible, and marketers' ultimate dreams come true."

No case of the Mondays

Hi,
First off, if you're in the Chicago area, check out an upcoming event with Richard Gage:

And, get ready to freak out:

So,

First off, we have Sam Osemene, or Osemene  in studio today. He's running for Austin City Council and we are most happy to have him. If you'd like to learn more about his platform, please go to his website:

Lots of fantastic surveillance stories today. I, Jon that is, am starting to think that this coming police state we're going to see is going to be more and more invisible than anyone yet imagines. There are quite a few virtual simulations under way, or that are about to be, that have VR avatars for...well...everyone in 64 countries. Yes, you read correctly. Please, learn more about Sentient World Simulation. Which, I might add, is supposed to be a 

"continuously running, continually updated mirror model of the real world that can be used to predict and evaluate future events and courses of action. SWS will react to actual events that occur anywhere in the world and incorporate newly sensed data from the real world. [...] As the models influence each other and the shared synthetic environment, behaviors and trends emerge in the synthetic world as they do in the real world. Analysis can be performed on the trends in the synthetic world to validate alternate worldviews. [...] Information can be easily displayed and readily transitioned from one focus to another using detailed modeling, such as engineering level modeling, to aggregated strategic, theater, or campaign-level modeling."

Here are some other related articles. The first two are from the very cool George Washington's Blog:

- Spying, Artificial Intelligence, and Martial Law

- High Level Officials Warm of Fake Terror

- We talked about Chertoff's statements earlier in the month when they were made, but nonetheless, here's an article entitled "U.S. Has Launched a Cyber Security 'Manhattan Project,' Homeland Security Chief Claims"

And, perhaps the most shocking article published yesterday, though underreported no doubt:

- Scientists Create First Memristor: Missing Fourth Electronic Circuit Element

Oi,

So, we hosted G. Edward Griffin last night at UT for a lecture. It was awesome. Weren't there? Here's the audio:

News is Bad News

Hello there,

Looks like we've got a case of the Mondays, as usual...but with news like this, who wouldn't?

Chris Emery on the show today

Hello all,

So, we've got our good friend Chris Emery on the show today. We'll be talking to him on a number of subjects, so please stay tuned...but for now, here's some fantastic news about our friends in We Are Change:

We Are Change Members Arrested For Asking Laura Bush A Question

If you'd like to call or contact the NYPD for these charges to be dropped, please call:

19th Precinct
153 E 67th Street
3rd & Lex, New York, NY 10065
(212) 452-0600

NYPD Dept. of Public Information
(646) 610-5000

Disclaimer: Please when calling the precinct please be polite and courteous to the police officers. We Are Change does not advocate any threats of violence of any kind.

And, here's the updated article.

=======================

Also, here we've got a short little article from the Financial Times. Check it out, surely more will come out on this but probably in a very buried fashion...

US army engineer accused of spying for Israel

=======================

We've also got another great headline here...shit:

Wall Street Journal: “Maybe It’s Time for Americans to Start Stockpiling Food.”

Afghan farmers turn away from opium

==========================

Oh yeah, GO TO ORB WAR

And, please, watch Garth Marenghi's Dark Place

========================

Today, on the show we've got, not one, not two, but THREE live in-studio guests. Third would be Sheila Dean, from Beatthechip.org, talking about her 5/11 Campaign to educate people about May 11th, which is when the first RFID legislation is supposed to come into law. 

Sheila says go to NCVVA.net, and go check out their documents section. I second that.

Also, here's some TX officials' numbers:

• Rick Perry (512) 463-2000 
  
• K Bailey Hutchison (202) 224 5922, ask her to look at HR 1351, it's in PA right now and has many co-sponors, but needs more!
•
