As Judge Rules NSA Surveillance "Almost Orwellian," Obama Prepares to Leave Spying Program Intact, December 17, 2013

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon described the NSA's activities as "almost Orwellian." He wrote, "I cannot imagine a more 'indiscriminate' and 'arbitrary invasion' than this systematic and high-tech collection and retention of personal data on virtually every single citizen."<br /><br />Judge Leon was appointed to the bench by Republican President George W. Bush in 2002. Leon suspended enforcement of his injunction against the program pending an expected appeal by the government. The lawsuit was brought by conservative attorney Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and based on information leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. In a statement Monday, Snowden said, "I acted on my belief that the NSA's mass surveillance programs would not withstand a constitutional challenge, and that the American public deserved a chance to see these issues determined by open courts.<br /><br />Today, a secret program authorized by a secret court was, when exposed to the light of day, found to violate Americans' rights. It is the first of many." We are joined by Sascha Meinrath, director of the New America Foundation's Open Technology Institute. He served as an expert witnesses on the Review Group on Intelligence and Communications, which was tasked by President Obama to review NSA's activities. -democracynow.org

The authorities stated this young father had measles virus, but the cause of death could not be established by an autopsy [postmortem examination].  The formal inquest into this death has been postponed [conveniently].  Someone being treated for severe asthma may have been treated with immunosuppressant drugs like steriods. An hospital is a centre of infection with all sorts of infections circulating. That combination is a recipe for potential problems.</big></span></div><div style="color: #474747; font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;

Fergus Walsh who seems to have “led the charge” at the BBC to scare parents with fake news: “Measles: Swansea epidemic cases could exceed 600<a href="http://t.co/ENfanqubrP" rel="nofollow" style="color: #045f9f; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="http://bbc.in/Xpi860">http://bbc.in/Xpi860</a>“.  What a bunch of crooks.  Clearly, no one anywhere in the world can trust the BBC’s reporting.  No wonder the muslim world does not trust the WASPs [White Anglo-Saxon Protestants] in the western first world who seem to manipulate their lives with such fakery. If there are any responsible people working as journalists at the BBC might they stand up and complain?   Or maybe they should get a job with a less discreditable organisation?</big></span></div><div style="color: #474747;

The Measles Epidemic a BIG LIE!

Christmas Lights: Second Place = Loser!

I was the first one on my block to put up lights this season . . . they went up the weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving. I actually planned to merely lay out the new lights and do some pre-wiring, but the project gained momentum and I went ahead and set up everything. As I mentioned <a href="http://dailyacquisition.blogspot.com/2013/01/christmas-lights-raising-bar-in-2013.html" target="_blank">here</a>, I wanted to step things up and try to catch up to my neighbor, who is the clear leader on the "Best Lights on the Block" list.<br /><br />I admit that I was rather pleased with my lights after firing them up. The modern LED light strings and the sheer number of lights are quite impressive. In fact, I was the block leader for eight days. The next weekend, however, I was put to shame by my neighbor. I think he added a few items to his arsenal from 2012, and my light display is still deep in the minor leagues relative to his big league arrangement.<br /><br />Oh well, this is only a friendly competition that we both hope will encourage other neighbors to light things up. I wasn't planning on adding anything else this year, although I had been considering how best to improve things for 2014. In fact, I actually went out and bought an extension ladder to measure the roof line and eaves for next year's light strings, and recorded all of the pertinent dimensions last weekend. While taking the measurements, I noticed that my neighbor was adding more stuff to his house. He obviously knows that I'm trying to catch up, and he's intentionally upping his game just to see me sweat! It's really tough to keep pace with the guy.<br /><br />So, I'm writing this post because I terminated my delayed 2014 light deployment plan this morning. While drinking a tasty cup of Ethiopian coffee, I stumbled upon <a href="http://www.holiday-light-express.com/" target="_blank">this website</a> devoted to LED Christmas lights. The website isn't very polished, but it lists some items that I had been considering for next year, and the prices are decent. One thing led to another and my shopping cart was full before my coffee cup was empty.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw-zNR4f_lCbhXLD_yAcX5t9PKmJ1q581txBBAbCjl84CfXyJySUDO61Niwc-eCVp8fD1jdSKzkdIPZMQXntQn8a6c94AETZCADIyBq5U9hCUjPhhu_YdynjaMOX5cMiRSrhnVZfwLGns/s1600/20131216_001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="88" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw-zNR4f_lCbhXLD_yAcX5t9PKmJ1q581txBBAbCjl84CfXyJySUDO61Niwc-eCVp8fD1jdSKzkdIPZMQXntQn8a6c94AETZCADIyBq5U9hCUjPhhu_YdynjaMOX5cMiRSrhnVZfwLGns/s400/20131216_001.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Impulse Purchase</td></tr></tbody></table>Today's acquisition will be used to adorn the upper roof line of the house, and to replace some of the old dim lights that I've been using. In my opinion, lights on the upper deck really separate the serious players from the run of the mill amateurs. It's time to join the ranks of the ridiculous. I'll still be in second place by a huge margin, but Rome wasn't built in a day.<div><br /></div><div>I know that pictures would be nice, but I'm not about to take pictures of my neighbor's house and post them. Moreover, my point and shoot camera sucks and doesn't like to take pictures at night. I'll try to take some pictures of my lights after the aforementioned products arrive and get installed.</div>
