ARIVACA, Arizona (PNN) - June 6, 2015 - It is a simple question that Carlota Wray has come to regard as an insult: “Are you a US citizen?”

For the record, the answer is yes. Wray has lived in the US (also known as the Fascist Police States of Amerika) for more than 30 years, is married to an Amerikan, and became a naturalized citizen about a decade ago. But she resents being quizzed about her immigration status - and is sometimes asked to prove it - when she leaves her home in the tiny Arizona border town of Arivaca for routine trips to neighboring places a couple of times a week.

LONDON, England (PNN) - June 2, 2015 - A newly-released headset hopes to wake people up or calm them down by manipulating the electricity in their brains.

Thync costs $299 and has just been released to the public. It provides “calm or energy on demand”, the company says, by using “neurosignalling” to activate nerves and change people’s states of mind.

SYDNEY, Australia (PNN) - June 1, 2015 - The Mark of the Beast is more almost here than ever before.

The likelihood of a forced RFID implant under the guise of a martial law pandemic emergency might be a little too obvious, as far as future tyranny goes.

Before it comes to that, it seems that plenty of people will be voluntarily subjecting themselves to cattle-like status, by jumping at the chance to ditch the inconvenience of a wallet and get a “smarter” payment system that can be embedded under their skin.

MENLO PARK, Kalifornia (PNN) - June 1, 2015 - Facebook has announced it is letting users add encryption keys to their profiles and opt in to have notification emails sent in an encrypted format.

The news comes as some Fascist Police States of Amerika surveillance powers expire and tensions rise between the FPSA government and the tech community over the use of strong encryption.

LIBERLAND (PNN) - May 20, 2015 - The denizens of Liberland, a self-proclaimed country whose official motto is “to live and let live,” have sure been getting into a lot of trouble lately.

The Free Republic of Liberland came into existence in April after Czech politician Vit Jedlička traveled to the disputed patch of land on the Serbian-Croatian border and raised a flag. Since then, Jedlička and his fellow activists have faced opposition, including arrest, from the neighboring countries.

REDMOND, Washington (PNN) - May 19, 2015 - A comprehensive Microsoft study is offering insights into how living in the digital age is affecting our ability to sustain attention, and how our brains are adapting to the constant flow of new stimuli. Although the results confirmed the suspicions that the information overflow is affecting our ability to focus on one task for long periods of time, the news isn't all bad, as it seems we're also training our brains to multitask more effectively.

May 14, 2015 - One of the most amazing aspects of Ron Paul's twin presidential campaigns was the way they brought together people who, on the surface, attached themselves to many different political labels. I met wonderful people who identified as conservative, liberal, libertarian, anarchist, anarcho-capitalist, the occasional Objectivist, Constitutionalist, as well as others. But while identifying themselves by these labels, they held as their overriding value the ideal of liberty, an ideal that wasn't to be sacrificed at the altar of party politics or watered down or compromised for the sake of expediency. The way Ron Paul's supporters worked side by side, I believe, is evidence that the devotion to the ideal of liberty transcends all the various political labels that these individuals previously held. His supporters understood the way in which labels can be perverted to signify their opposite, and therefore put less weight in what they called themselves than what they stood for.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - May 19, 2015 - A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction saying the District of Columbia’s new concealed carry law is unconstitutional.

The order, issued Monday by Judge Frederick J. Scullin, was the second decision in less than a year declaring the Washington, D.C., gun carry laws to be unconstitutional. In October of 2014, the same judge ruled that the district’s complete ban on gun carry was also in violation of the Constitution.
