LAKE WYLIE More than 100 gallons of water with traces of tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, has been leaked from a discharge pipe at the Catawba Nuclear Station, according to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The leak has been classified as a “non emergency event” by the NRC. The leak, however, has the potential to reach groundwater, according to the NRC. Duke Energy has initiated actions to fix the problem, which [...] (Reuters) -The number of names on a highly classified U.S. central database used to track suspected terrorists has jumped to 875,000 from 540,000 only five years ago, a U.S. official familiar with the matter said.

In many cases, those killed are just classified as an “unknown extremist,” aka a civilian. We already know how insane the drone program is from many sources, including the confessions of drone [...] CHANCE OF X-FLARES: An X-flare could be in the offing. The magnetic field of big sunspot AR1654 is growing more complex. It is now classified as a ‘beta-gamma-delta’ magnetic field, which means it harbors energy for X-class eruptions http://spaceweather.com/ http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/xray_1m.html
“scientists also note that the sunspot stretches approximately 112,000 miles – the equivalent of 14 Earth diameters stretched from end to end, according to WND.” “NASA has warned that if a massive solar flare directly hits [...] Four years after discovering that militants were tapping into drone video feeds, the U.S. military still hasn’t secured the transmissions of more than half of its fleet of Predator and Reaper drones, Danger Room has learned. The majority of the aircraft still broadcast their classified video streams “in the clear” — without encryption. With a minimal amount of equipment and know-how, militants can see what America’s drones see. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/10/hack-proof-drone/ A group of purported hackers in the Middle East has claimed credit for problems at the websites of both banks, citing the online video mocking the founder of Islam. One security source called that statement “a cover” for the Iranian government’s operations. The attack is described by one source, a former U.S. official familiar with the attacks, as being “significant and ongoing” and looking to cause “functional and significant damage.” Also, one [...] WASHINGTON (CBSDC) – Increased numbers of substance abuse in the U.S. military has led to the issue being classified as a “public health crisis,” according to a new study requested by the Department of Defense. In a study from the Institute of Medicine released Monday, data indicates that almost half of military personnel participate in binge drinking and that one-fifth of active-duty troops have five or more drinks per day on a [...] You have less than two hours before a giant asteroid makes its closest approach to Earth.
The asteroid was discovered on Aug. 26. It’s called 2012 QG42 and “may be the size of three football fields,” says Space.com. Although the hurtling rock is classified as a “potentially hazardous asteroid,” meaning it comes within 5 million miles of Earth and is large enough to pass through our planet’s atmosphere without being incinerated, astronomers say we [...] An apparent classified Iranian intelligence report that has been leaked online warns of an imminent financial crisis in the country that would cause nation-wide upheaval. Excerpts of the report, posted this week on several Iranian websites, revealed that the government might not be able to pay the full salaries of its employees in the coming three months, which threatens the eruption of massive popular protests across the country. Large portions of the [...] From LewRockwell.com: Gazillions. That’s the number of times the federal government has spied on Americans since 9/11 through the use of drones, legal search warrants, illegal search warrants, federal agent-written search warrants and just plain government spying. This is according to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who, when he asked the government to tell him what it was doing to violate our privacy, was given a classified briefing. The senator – one of [...] LOS ANGELES (KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO) — As the Federal Aviation Administration helps usher in an age of drones for U.S. law enforcement agencies, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s) domestically by the U.S. military — and the sharing of collected data with police agencies — is raising its own concerns about possible violations of privacy and Constitutional law, according to drone critics. A non-classified U.S. Air Force intelligence report obtained by KNX [...] MyHealthNewsDaily Staff The percent of U.S. teens with diabetes is on the rise, a new study suggests. Between 1999 and 2008, the percentage of adolescents ages 12 to 19 with diabetes or prediabetes increased from 9 percent to 23 percent, the study found. Prediabetes is a condition in which blood sugar levels are abnormally high, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Both diabetes and prediabetes are risk factors for cardiovascular disease, the [...] Jerusalem Post ‘LA Times’ reports highly classified US intelligence assessment indicates that Iran is conducting research that could eventually enable it to develop a nuclear weapon, but that it has not sought to do so. US intelligence agencies do not believe that Iran is actively trying to build a nuclear weapon, The Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday, citing a highly classified intelligence assessment from early 2011. According to the [...] …”FEMA documents that confirm information received from DoD sources that show military involvement in a FEMA-led takeover within the United States under partially-classified Continuity of Government (COG) plans. It involves not only operations for the relocation of COG personnel and key officials, population management, emergency communications and alerts but the designation of the American people as ‘enemies’ under a live military tracking system known as Blue Force Situational Awareness (BFSA).” FEMA [...] Android Police This is a pretty wild piece of news. Google, George Mason University, and the NSA are working to make Android the most secure OS out there. They’re developing a “hardened” kernel so Android can pass all the necessary red tape to be deployed for government use. By 2012 they expect Android to be good enough for classified communication, and eventually they’ll hit a higher security clearance level [...] The New York Times is suing the U.S. government for refusing to divulge how its law enforcement interprets the Patriot Act. After a series of Freedom of Information requests were declined to reveal the classified interpretation of the Patriot Act — a description that Senators Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) and Mark Udall (D-Colorado) described as “deeply disturbing” — the newspaper sought to battle it out in the [...] WASHINGTON (AP) — The job market is even worse than the 9.1 percent unemployment rate suggests. America’s 14 million unemployed aren’t competing just with each other. They must also contend with 8.8 million other people not counted as unemployed — part-timers who want full-time work. When consumer demand picks up, companies will likely boost the hours of their part-timers before they add jobs, economists say. It means they have room to expand [...] Zero exposure to stocks is the best way to position a portfolio over the next few months as markets look set to remain volatile due to a “pretend and extend” strategy on Greece and negative indicators for emerging markets, Bruno Verstraete, CEO at Nautilus Invest told CNBC. “Overall in our asset allocation, we have been pretty bearish on equities, having none – zero percent – since [...] CAPE TOWN (Reuters) – Robust economic growth in Africa over the last decade has swelled the size of its middle class to a third of the continent’s billion-strong population, according to a report released on Friday. The African Development Bank (AfDB) study said 313 million Africans could now be classified as middle class, compared with 151 million in 1990 and 196 million in 2000. The figures [...] |
