Chris Dorner Becomes First Human Drone Target on US Soil
So far in the LAPD manhunt for Christopher Dorner the police have indiscriminately fired at multiple different innocent people, offered a million dollar award for his capture and now they are sending heat sensing drones after him.
Yesterday, as a task force of 125 officers, some riding Snowcats in the rugged terrain, continued their search, it was revealed that Dorner has become the first human target for remotely-controlled airborne drones on US soil.
In recent years, the quickening arrival of drills and trenchers from China and Canada has provoked a militant resistance that unites the local indigenous and campesino populations. The stakes declared and the violence endured by this battle-scarred coalition is little-known even in Ecuador, where Correa has made muscular use of state security forces in arresting activists and intimidating journalists who threaten his image as an ecologically minded man-of-the-people. This repression has only intensified in the run-up to Correa’s expected reelection on Feb. 17.
Recently, a few mouthpieces for the Council on Foreign Relations wrote an insane piece for Bloomberg Business, suggesting that higher gas taxes would lift the economy and create jobs.  They have provided “economic models”, which reference and take information from a totally different time in history that cannot possibly be compared to today’s economic environment.
Furthermore, the actions suggested by the authors of this article would actually crush the economy, or at least crush the vast majority of the people who participate in the economy.  Higher gas taxes would obviously raise gas prices for everyone, and the article even alludes to that fact by citing “suppressing demand” as a primary goal.
In the first two days of last week’s public campaign urging Israelis to turn in tax cheaters, more than 1,000 calls came in, Israel Tax Authority chief Doron Arbely said yesterday.
The launch of an ad campaign starring actor Nati Ravitz signaled the start of a war against the underground economy – or at least the declaration of war. Ravitz urges viewers to call the “justice hot line” and report tax evaders. In 2011 it was comedian Eli Yatzpan who presented a campaign similar to the Israel Tax Authority’s “snitch” program, but since then the government deficit has soared to NIS 40 billion and it seems the taxman is more anxious than ever to receive your call.
“Tax evasion is everyone’s problem,” states the ad slogan. The Israeli public may not be fond of snitches, but the phones haven’t stopped ringing since the campaign took to the air.
The pound’s decline has been reflected in a drop in Egypt’s foreign reserves, which fell to $13.6 billion at the end of January – below the $15 billion level needed to cover three months’ imports. The reserves stood at $36 billion on the eve of the uprising against Mubarak.
Complicating a business climate already weighed down by political unrest, some importers say they are having to source their foreign exchange needs from what they call the parallel or open market.
One senior executive at an Egyptian company that imports goods from abroad said companies were able to source their dollar needs from the black market, but forecast that supply would tighten further in the coming weeks.

Infowars Analysis: This is actually not the first time Americans have been targeted with surveillance drones.
In 2011, police used a Predator surveillance drone against a family in North Dakota who were accused of stealing six cows. If Dorner is targeted by an armed drone, that would be a first domestically.
Police plan to use spy drones in the hunt for a Rambo-style ex-soldier and policeman who has murdered three people and vowed to kill again.
They believe burly, heavily-armed Christopher Dorner is holed-up in the wilderness of California’s snow-capped San Bernardino mountains 80 miles east of Los Angeles.
The burnt-out shell of his pick-up truck was discovered in the nearby resort of Big Bear, where residents and tourists have been warned to stay indoors as the search continues.
Yesterday, as a task force of 125 officers, some riding Snowcats in the rugged terrain, continued their search, it was revealed that Dorner has become the first human target for remotely-controlled airborne drones on US soil.
