The Army is always working to protect itself against security breaches, but with new technologies come new risks. Today, more than ever, it is vitally important that Army leaders, Soldiers and Army civilians understand what kind of data they are broadcasting and what they can do to protect themselves and their families.
 
 

Embedded in the image was a geotag, a bit of data providing the longitude and latitude of where the photo was taken. Hence, he revealed exactly where he lived. And since the accompanying text was “Now it’s off to work,” potential thieves knew he would not be at home.


Security experts and privacy advocates have recently begun warning about the potential
dangers of geotags, which are embedded in photos and videos taken with GPS-equipped smartphones and digital cameras. Because the location data is not visible to the casual viewer, the concern is that many people may not realize it is there; and they could be compromising their privacy, if not their safety, when they post geotagged media online.
 
 
          E-GOVERNMENT
             IN ESTONIA

The OECD definition of e-government is as follows: it is “the use of information and communication technologies, and particularly the Internet, as a tool to achieve better government.”2

 

Rebuilding the necessary organisation and institutions after Estonia regained its independence gave a big boost to setting up the information society and providing Estonia with a competitive advantage in Europe. The ability of the state and its organisation to react quickly and adequately to the changes in the society is of utmost importance for independent Estonia. Due to outstanding IT specialists, Estonia is today known all over the world as an innovative state with a dynamically developed information society.

 

The present article focuses on the development and current situation of ITC in Estonia, and on whether e-government has been successful or not, and looks at the options Estonia as a small country has in the globalising information society in terms of strategic choices.

Tulsa Beacon Article - December 9, 2010
 

“Our debt crisis is a threat to not just our way of life, but our national survival,” Coburn said. “History has not been kind to great nations who borrowed and spent beyond their means. Doing nothing will, sooner rather than later, guarantee that this nation becomes a second-rate power with less opportunity and less freedom. The plan developed by the debt commission, while flawed and incomplete, will help America avoid this fate and secure freedom for future generations.”

Coburn and Sen. Mike Crapo, a fiscally conservative Republican from Idaho, will support the package proposed by the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility. Both serve on the 18-member commission.


“The time for action is now,” Coburn said. “We can’t afford to wait until the next election to begin this process. Long before the skyrocketing cost of entitlements cause our national debt to triple and tax rates to double, our economy may collapse under the weight of this burden. We are already near a precipice. In the near future, we could experience a collapse in the value of the dollar, hyperinflation or other consequences that would force Congress to face a set of choices far more painful than those proposed in this plan.”

 

Coburn insisted that limited government is still the answer.
“The real choice facing Congress and the American people, however, is not whether to support the commission’s recommendations, but whether we will rediscover the wisdom of our founders and apply the principles of limited government written into our Constitution,” Coburn said. “The debt problem is almost entirely the consequence of growing government far beyond our founders’ intent. This plan is merely a down payment that will begin the process of reforming government at all levels.”

Another Pyrrhic Victory by Kenneth R. Rice II - Nov. 2010
 
The "Pledge to America" put out by the Republican leadership is further evidence of the lack of statesmanship and the ignorance of the established Republican political class; as Representative John Boehner of Ohio, the Speaker-Elect of the House and advocate of the Pledge, wept in his victory speech, I wept for the future of our liberty and the souls, particularly the souls of those who courageously serve in the military, of my fellow Americans. The Republican leadership has little understanding of the Constitution and the Worldview at the heart of the Declaration of Independence. They have like so many "Conservatives" unknowingly adopted the language of the Progressives and are, like Cafeteria Catholics, Cafeteria Constitutionalists. The document is without substance and, far worse, filled with contradictions. They claim that every piece of legislation must pass constitutional muster; i.e., the advocates of legislation must demonstrate their constitutional authority to exercise the power sought. However, a few passages later, they claim they are going to reform and strengthen Social Security and Medicare. Where do they find the constitutional authority to continue these redistributionist schemes? The document goes on to present their predictable "solutions" to the economic crisis: incentives that distort the free market and the usual "supply-side" schemes. They are prepared to focus on the economy and create jobs is their slogan, regardless of the fact that in a free market the government does not create jobs. This is the role of the entrepreneur.

The Office of State Finance has awarded the contract for the Assessment Study, Report and Plan, to the Consulting firm Capgemini. The contract was awarded Aug. 31, 2010, and OSF anticipates project completion in March 2011.

For non-technical types, what this means is that the State of Oklahoma is on a path that could lead to back door access to all of their state data by a foreign corporation (CapGemini) and they are using a product that was developed and maintained in COMMUNIST China.

On November 1, 2010 OK-SAFE filed an Open Records Request to the Office of State Finance, seeking more detailed information about the state’s contract with Capgemini, the global consulting, technology, and outsourcing firm, headquartered in Paris, France.  


Below are the documents provided in response to the above open records request.  The Office of State Finance, via the helpdesk, did provide their portion of the Open Records request by Nov. 19, 2010, despite the fact that they were moving offices.

BDNA Maps The IT Genome
 
Strategy shift moves the company's focus to enrichment of discovery data through the industry's first, fully comprehensive product database. 
 
Asset management specialist BDNA on Wednesday unveiled a new strategy under which it will focus on enhancing customers' IT asset discovery data while offering some basic discovery services for free.

With Microsoft, HP, and others crowding the market, BDNA VP Amit Golan said the company's shift to data enhancement services is driven by the fact that the market for asset discovery tools has become commoditized.

"It's not a fight we want to fight anymore," said Golan, in an interview.

Instead, BDNA will focus on adding value to customers' discovery data by running it through a massive database called Technopedia that Golan described as the industry's only, fully comprehensive listing of virtually every IT product in existence.
 

The database, which includes more than 800,000 data points on over 200,000 IT hardware and software products, is constantly updated by a team of researchers based in China.

Among other things, Technopedia is designed to ferret out instances where enterprises may be unknowingly running multiple copies of software because the brand name has changed, the product was acquired by another vendor, or versioning systems have changed.

That's key as IT shops may be running afoul of licensing terms, or losing out on volume discounts, if they don't know what they're running. "We are trying to eliminate the sickness of IT waste," said Golan, who likens Technopedia to the Human Genome Project, under which scientists mapped out man's genetic code.

"We've been assembling the building blocks of IT," said Golan. Technopedia also includes information on software and hardware product version numbers, upgrades, support dates, and more. Customers can access Technopedia and related services through BDNA's just-launched IT Genome Center, which is an online portal.

BDNA will continue to offer its existing discovery services, but customers will have free access to basic, first-level discovery tools, Golan said.

In The News  
 

By Angelo M. Codevilla from the July 2010 - August 2010 issue of The American Spectator

As over-leveraged investment houses began to fail in September 2008, the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties, of major corporations, and opinion leaders stretching from the National Review magazine (and the Wall Street Journal) on the right to the Nation magazine on the left, agreed that spending some $700 billion to buy the investors' "toxic assets" was the only alternative to the U.S. economy's "systemic collapse." In this, President George W. Bush and his would-be Republican successor John McCain agreed with the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama. Many, if not most, people around them also agreed upon the eventual commitment of some 10 trillion nonexistent dollars in ways unprecedented in America. They explained neither the difference between the assets' nominal and real values, nor precisely why letting the market find the latter would collapse America. The public objected immediately, by margins of three or four to one.

And that should worry people in Tulsa.

O’Toole spoke Saturday in Tulsa as part of a forum sponsored by OK-SAFE. A former professor at Yale University, O’Toole has written several books, including Gridlock: Why We’re Stuck in Traffic and What to Do About It.

“I want to talk about the American dream,” O’Toole said. “To own a home, start a business, to have mobility and own property. ‘Smart growth’ is a threat to the American Dream. That’s what PlaniTulsa is all about.”

Defending the Core - by Oklahoma State Senator Steve Russell at the Oklahoma Liberty Conference 2-20-2010

 

I believe our greatest crisis today is finding individuals who understand just a few things on what it means to be an American and are willing to defend those basic distinctions. Plainly, they are Freedom of Speech, Belief, Assembly, the Right to Bear Arms, being secure in our Property, and having equal protection under law. These are embodied in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 14th Amendments. As a state, having the right to stand in the gap for our citizens when the Federal Government has not been granted certain powers is also paramount. That is embodied in the 10th Amendment.

 

These are the core principles that make us different, unlike any nation in the world. These are the rights that we must safeguard, and when imperiled, we must staunchly defend. Yet today, we seem more interested in creating and defending government entitlements than in shoring up and defending our liberties. Let me give you a few examples of how this hits home in Oklahoma.

Carbon Currency: A New Beginning for Technocracy? - By Patrick Wood, Editor January 26, 2010

 

Critics who think that the U.S. dollar will be replaced by some new global currency are perhaps thinking too small.


On the world horizon looms a new global currency that could replace all paper currencies and
the economic system upon which they are based.

The new currency, simply called Carbon Currency, is designed to support a revolutionary new
economic system based on energy (production, and consumption), instead of price. Our current price-based economic system and its related currencies that have supported capitalism, socialism, fascism and communism, is being herded to the slaughterhouse in order to make way for a new carbon-based world.

Think Globally; Act Globally - Cal Thomas

"For years I have received letters written as elegantly as ransom notes, advising me of certain worldwide conspiracies. Sometimes the writing instrument of choice has been a crayon.....

 

Recently, though, I have been giving more serious consideration to another "conspiracy" that seems to be growing legs. It is the conspiracy of one-world government. As governments increasingly demand more power to direct and shape our future by mandating how we live (not to mention their increasing invasiveness with cameras, wiretaps and other forms of "monitoring"), those who believe in individual liberty are on the defense.....

 

In his book, "The Audacity of Hope," Obama wrote, "When the world's sole superpower willingly restrains its power and abides by internationally agreed-upon standards of conduct, it sends a message that these rules are worth following." ...

In fact, the message it sends is that the ideas and ideals which made America unique in the world are no longer worth following, because in a one-world government, the United States would inevitably have to compromise its beliefs, laws, faith and everything else that makes it unique. European and Third World leaders would effectively be running the show.....
 
Maybe, but if we get too many "global" crises happening at once, the clamor for a one-world government to bring order, even at the expense of liberty, may be too strong for some politicians to resist.

So, yes, I'm starting to believe in the possibility of one-world government and it should be vigorously opposed if America, as we know it, is to be preserved."- Cal Thomas Tribune Media Services: 12/12/2008

And Now for a World Government - Gideon Rachman   
 
"I have never believed that there is a secret United Nations plot to take over the US. I have never seen black helicopters hovering in the sky above Montana. But, for the first time in my life, I think the formation of some sort of world government is plausible.....
 

A “world government” would involve much more than co-operation between nations. It would be an entity with state-like characteristics, backed by a body of laws. The European Union has already set up a continental government for 27 countries, which could be a model. The EU has a supreme court, a currency, thousands of pages of law, a large civil service and the ability to deploy military force......

 

These are the kind of ideas that get people reaching for their rifles in America’s talk-radio heartland. Aware of the political sensitivity of its ideas, the MGI report opts for soothing language. It emphasises the need for American leadership and uses the term, “responsible sovereignty” – when calling for international co-operation – rather than the more radical-sounding phrase favoured in Europe, “shared sovereignty”. It also talks about “global governance” rather than world government.....

 
But this “problem” also hints at a more welcome reason why making progress on global governance will be slow sledding. Even in the EU – the heartland of law-based international government – the idea remains unpopular. The EU has suffered a series of humiliating defeats in referendums, when plans for “ever closer union” have been referred to the voters. In general, the Union has progressed fastest when far-reaching deals have been agreed by technocrats and politicians – and then pushed through without direct reference to the voters.

International governance tends to be effective, only when it is anti-democratic. - Gideon Rachman  December 8 2008

Saving the Constitution from Bankruptcy - Interview of Oklahoma US Senator Coburn by Brian Ervin of UTW
 

Oklahoma's Republican U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn doesn't have very high hopes for his Enumerated Powers Act to pass

into law. But, as he sees it, it's "the only way to get out of the impending financial disaster." If it were to pass into law, the bill would essentially require lawmakers to justify each piece of proposed legislation by citing the specific source of authority in the Constitution for each provision of a bill. Coburn said the bill highlights the importance of the Tenth Amendment, which states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
 

Coburn, though, said the Tenth amendment is being disregarded by the federal government. "Historic revisionists in both parties have misused the Constitution to justify a 'blank check' approach to spending and earmarking," he said.

As an example, he pointed to the existence of the federal Department of Education. "You cannot find anywhere in the Constitution where there is a federal role for education. You can't find it. It's totally fabricated," said Coburn.

"How and where is education best accommodated? The closer it is to those that are involved in it," he added.

He pointed specifically to the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2002, which mandates end-of-instruction tests,

among other requirements of local school districts.
 

"You've got all these rules and all this stuff, and very little money. And there's no specific power enumerating the right

of the federal government to interfere in state education. As a matter of fact, there are a couple of lawsuits going on

about that right now. And the states are going to win. No question--they're going to win," said Coburn.- Bian Ervin; UTW

Given Washington's inability or unwillingness to address the issue, no one should be surprised that states such as Oklahoma, Arizona and Georgia are taking the lead. It's federalism in action. Just as states paved the way for welfare reform in the 1990s, they are pointing the way on immigration reform.

During 2005, Border Patrol apprehended approximately 1.2 million illegal aliens; of those 165,000 were from countries other than Mexico. Of the non-Mexican aliens, approximately 650 were from special interest countries. Special interest countries are

those “designated by the intelligence community as countries that could export individuals that could bring harm to our country in the way of terrorism.”1

 

In addition to the criminal activities and violence of the cartels on our Southwest border, there is an ever-present threat of terrorist infiltration over the Southwest border. Data indicates that there are hundreds of illegal aliens apprehended entering the United States each year who are from countries known to support and sponsor terrorism.
 
• U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigations have revealed that aliens were smuggled from the Middle East to staging areas in Central and South America, before being smuggled illegally into the United States.
Members of Hezbollah have already entered the United States across the Southwest border.

• U.S. military and intelligence officials believe that Venezuela is emerging as a potential hub of terrorism in the Western Hemisphere. The Venezuelan government is issuing identity documents that could subsequently be used to

obtain a U.S. visa and enter the country. - A Line in the SAND: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border

“Folks, it is plain to me that anything designed to tear down and eliminate our borders is a direct attack on the sovereignty of this Nation. And anyone involved with helping to destroy our Nation’s sovereignty is involved in a treasonous act and should be held accountable,” Brogdon proclaimed with conviction.

ARTICLEGlobal Supply Chain Management - Vicky Davis; March 18, 2008
 
“The corporate takeover of government has not been obvious to the majority of people - not yet, because the transformation involved internal operations like privatization (outsourcing government functions), and reorganization - shifting the power to make policy to private interest groups - the so-called "customers" of government.  The entire philosophy of government shifted to the corporate mind set of marketplace, customers, services and using the law as a facilitation for profit among the large corporations.   The most obvious indicator of the corporate takeover is the failure to protect the borders of this country.  The most insidious indicator is the Global Supply Chain Management system that is being built with your taxpayer dollars - thinly disguised as a plan for "security".” 
 

“Several years ago, I stumbled upon the conceptual design for a 'Trans-Pacific Multimodal Security System'.    It was on the website of the North American International Trade Corridor Partnership (NAITCP).  The website was soon thereafter archived when NAITCP merged with North American Super Corridor Coalition (NASCO) but enough of it was recoverable to see the full measure of corruption and treachery that is taking place in this country - corruption by public officials on a scale this writer has never seen before and treason by MOU - undermining both the economy and the security of this nation.”

Quotes

"All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth-that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid?"

 -- Benjamin Franklin (To Colleagues at the Constitutional Convention)

 
“It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from the government.” - Thomas Paine  

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”
Thomas Jefferson

America faces a dire threat to its Sovereignty and Free Enterprise system. The hammerlock on our government by multi-national corporations and the global elite must be broken and concerned Americans on the Left or the Right by themselves do not have the numbers or clout to do it alone. They must come together to restore America’s Founding Principles. Patrick Wood of the August Review has created a website to facilitate uniting of all Americans to the cause.
