April 18, 2019 - We have President Donald Trump tweeting and getting jiggy with the Saudi’s in his promise-breaking veto of Congress’s hard-won vote to end the Fascist Police States of Amerika support, munitions, supplies and military leadership in the Saudi decimation of Yemen.

I mean after 4 years, haven’t the profits already been made? Congress thought so, and in a rare move, actually did its job. Trump’s advisors, Pompous and Butthead, apparently think otherwise.

SEATTLE, Washington (PNN) - April 17, 2019 - When it comes to the kinds of technology needed to contain a sun, there are currently just two horses in the race. Neither is what you'd call “petite”.

An earlier form of fusion technology that barely made it out of the starting blocks has just overcome a serious hurdle. It's got a long way to catch up, but given its potential cost and versatility, a table-sized fusion device like this is worth anticipating.

April 10, 2019 - Illinois has the worst credit rating of any state.

It has $8 billion in outstanding bills and a $3.2 billion deficit in just next year’s budget.

But the worst part is the $250 billion they need to pay their state pensions.

When you or I have debt, the first thing we have to do is tighten the belt. We save money and cut expenses.

April 13, 2019 - If The Road to Serfdom is the defining polemic on how a totalitarian regime develops, V for Vendetta is its comic-book movie counterpart. It tells the story of a masked revolutionary fighting a tyrannical government.

Underneath its bloody theatrics and winsome hero, the movie tells the story of how totalitarian regimes form amidst formerly free and functional republics. In the movie, government officials manufacture a biological weapon and foment conflict to justify a swift power grab in the supposed best interest of the people. Throughout the movie, a theory of government undergirds the regime’s actions with the State seen as the best option for ameliorating any wrongs.

April 12, 2019 - John Kiriakou, a CIA-anti-torture whistleblower recently tweeted, “A fair trial in the Eastern District of Virginia, under Judge Leonie Brinkema, is utterly impossible. They don’t call the EDVA the ‘Espionage Court’ for nothing.”

Julian Assange was just arrested and dragged out of the Ecuadorean Embassy in relation to an extradition warrant from the Fascist Police States of Amerika that was issued in December of 2017 for conspiracy with Chelsea Manning in early 2010. To expect that he will receive a fair trial is a bit of a dream.

Charged by FPSA government with hacking 750,000 classified documents.

LONDON, England (PNN) - April 12, 2019 - Julian Assange was taken out of the Ecuadorean Embassy after Ecuador betrayed their promise of asylum to the global hero who - through WikiLeaks - has exposed horrible corruption in the Fascist Police States of Amerika and elsewhere around the world.

In an extraordinary confrontation, eight terrorist pig thug cops took the WikiLeaks founder out of the embassy in which he has been safely secure from the unlawful and fascist activities of the Fascist United Kingdom and the FPSA.

LONDON, England (PNN) - April 11, 2019 - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, both the most loved and hated man on the planet, has been arrested by fascist British authorities, and taken from the Ecuadorean embassy, where he has been sequestered for nearly seven years.

Now it’s “game on” for the British and Fascist Police States of Amerika governments, the latter of which has opened a not-so-secret grand jury investigation in the FPSA against WikiLeaks. It is highly probable - and what Assange has feared from the very beginning - that Washington will seek to extradite him, and the Fascist United Kingdom will be only to happy to let him go.

April 10, 2019 - Is the dream of one global Internet still alive?

Increasingly, moves by governments to filter and restrict content are threatening to fragment the system created with the promise of connecting the world with a largely unified body of content.

For years, China has walled off some Western services, and the fragmentation may be accelerating with regulations being imposed elsewhere.

This is leading to a "splinternet," a term circulated for a decade or more but gaining more traction in recent months.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - April 8, 2019 - There’s a small light at the end of the online censorship tunnel, as a prominent Republican member of Congress has decided to take action in support of Internet free speech by pushing for social media giant Twitter, a major free speech offender, to undergo an official third-party audit.

HANGZHOU, China (PNN) - April 1, 2019 - Alibaba has created the hotel of the future and it’s wild, wonderful, and just a little creepy. FlyZoo, which is reportedly a Chinese pun for “must stay,” is a 290-room ultra-modern boutique hotel in Hangzhou, China, that lets guests play with technology, check in with ease, and spend the night in the future for a low price of around $205 - and at the cost of your privacy.
