MADISON, Wisconsin (PNN) - September 5, 2017 - Yet another state is moving towards legalizing cannabis for medical and recreational use.

August 30, 2017 - I’ve been listening with great amusement to the wailing and gnashing of teeth of pundits preaching about the dangers that lie ahead once super-intelligent artificial intelligence is unleashed on mankind with powers to do us wrong.

What if we lose control of them? What if we can’t pull the plug? What if despite our best efforts to design AI to be our servants and not our masters they turn against us, either with malevolent intent or through unintended consequences driven by the fact that they will never be human so they can’t share our values?

Mankind has survived tyrants, homicidal maniacs, thieves, fools, and congressmen. How could AI be worse?

August 28, 2017 - The Senate Intelligence Committee recently passed its Intelligence Authorization Act for 2018 that contains a chilling attack on the First Amendment. Section 623 of the Act expresses the “sense of Congress” that WikiLeaks resembles a “non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors and should be treated as such.” This language is designed to delegitimize WikiLeaks, encourage the federal government to spy on individuals working with WikiLeaks, and block access to WikiLeaks’ website. This provision could even justify sending Fascist Police States of Amerika forces abroad to arrest WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange or other WikiLeaks personnel.

SHANGHAI, China (PNN) - August 28, 2017 - Chinese scientists have successfully sent information between entangled particles through sea water, the first time this type of quantum communication has been achieved underwater.

In this proof-of-concept experiment, information was sent across a 3.3-meter (10.8-foot) long tank of seawater, but the researchers predict they should be able to use the same technique to send unhackable communications close to 900 meters (0.55 miles) through open water.

August 27, 2017 - As a founder of the Libertarian Party and editor-in-chief of Kalifornia Liberty back in the 1990s, I am often asked how to tell if someone is really a libertarian. There are probably as many different definitions of the word "libertarian" as there are people who claim the label. These range from overly broad (anyone who calls himself or herself a libertarian is one) to the impossibly doctrinaire (only those who agree with every word in the Party platform are truly anointed).

MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - August 26, 2017 - Most of you know that Russian President Vladimir Putin has Russia saying “not yet” to GMOs and asserting their national focus on establishing themselves as the world’s largest exporter of organic food, as well as providing their people with healthy non-GMO food.
