HARVARD PROF: GOVERNMENT MOSQUITO DRONES WILL EXTRACT YOUR DNA
"Privacy is dead," academic tells Davos elite
byPAUL JOSEPH WATSON | JANUARY 23, 2015
Harvard Professor Margo Seltzer warned that miniature mosquito drones will one day forcibly extract your DNA on behalf of the government and insurance companies as she told elitists at the World Economic Forum in Davos that privacy was dead.
Seltzer, a professor in computer science at Harvard University, told attendees, “Privacy as we knew it in the past is no longer feasible… How we conventionally think of privacy is dead.”
Seltzer went on to predict that in the near future, mosquito-sized robots would perpetually monitor individuals as well as collecting DNA and biometric information for governments and corporations.
“It’s not whether this is going to happen, it’s already happening,” said Seltzer on the issue of pervasive surveillance. “We live in a surveillance state today.”
The professor added that miniaturized drone technology should be used for benevolent purposes, such as sending the same device into an Ebola ward to “zap the germs”.
Fellow Harvard academic Sophia Roosth also warned that an era of “genetic McCarthyism” was on the way as a result of people’s personal genetic information being available to governments via the Internet.
However, another speaker, tech entrepreneur Anthony Goldbloom, told the panel that young people no longer cared about surveillance issues and were perfectly willing to trade privacy for convenience.
“People often behave better when they have the sense that their actions are being watched,” said Goldbloom, seemingly invoking O’Brien from George Orwell’s 1984.
As we reported yesterday, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who is not known for his strong advocacy of privacy, greased the skids for the introduction of an Internet brain chip when he told Davos attendees that the world wide web would “disappear” as an external concept.
Some Investors See Single Currency Falling to Parity With U.S. Dollar

Rip up your euro forecasts.
A day after the European Central Bank unveiled its bond-buying program, the single currency still was in free fall, blowing past analysts’ expectations for how low the euro can go.
Some investors now say the euro could fall to the point where it is on equal footing with the U.S. dollar for the first time since it climbed above the buck in late 2002.
“If you would have asked me a few months ago, I would’ve said that parity could be in the cards in the years ahead. Now, we can’t rule it out anymore even by the end of this year,” said Thomas Kressin, head of European foreign exchange at Pacific Investment Management Co., or Pimco, which has $1.68 trillion under management.
Late Friday in New York, the euro fell 1.4% against the dollar, to $1.1206, on top of a 2.1% slide the day before. It is now down 7.4% against the dollar since the turn of the year and is at its lowest point in more than 11 years.
Morgan Stanley cut its estimate of where the euro will end 2015 to $1.05 from $1.12 previously. Bank of America Merrill Lynch sees the euro now falling to $1.10 by the end of the year, from $1.20 in an earlier forecast, while HSBC Holdings PLC analysts cut their year-end expectation to $1.09 from $1.15.
The downgrades have echoed Wall Street’s failure to predict outsize pullbacks over the past year in global government-bond yields andoil prices. Those declines have increased investor unease over the risks facing the global economy.
Under the bond-buying program, known as quantitative easing, central banks create new bank reserves to buy assets from financial institutions. Central banks get bonds, and banks get money that they can in turn use to extend new credit to households and businesses. Such expansionary monetary policies usually weaken a country’s currency in part because lower interest rates make a currency less attractive to hold. In turn, a weaker currency makes exported goods more competitive overseas, which could benefit Germany’s export-driven economy.
A day after the ECB’s move, European stocks and bond prices soared. The Stoxx Europe 600 climbed to a seven-year high, ending the session up 1.7%. Germany’s DAX index rose 2.1% to another record, while the U.K.’s FTSE 100 gained 0.5% and France’s CAC-40 advanced 1.9%. Government bond prices from Spain, Italy, Portugal, Germany and elsewhere hit records, pushing yields lower.
The euro has held to a relatively lofty level in recent years, peaking at $1.60 in 2008 and trading close to $1.40 as recently as last May, in part because the ECB arrived late to the world of quantitative easing. The Federal Reserve, Bank of Japan and the Bank of England, meanwhile, have implemented stimulus efforts. The ECB’s bond-buying plan—to the tune of €60 billion ($68 billion) a month until at least September 2016—combined with record-low interest rates is meant to spur growth and stoke inflation.
“The ECB has effectively said this will go on until we see a significant adjustment in the path of inflation. That tells us [quantitative easing] is going to be with us for quite some time,” said Nick Gartside, chief investment officer for fixed income at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, which oversees $1.7 trillion of assets.
The flood of easy money and the fact that some central banks are charging banks to hold overnight deposits “will make sure capital continues to be pushed out of the euro area,” said Pimco’s Mr. Kressin, who is betting the euro will continue to weaken against the dollar. This combination means the euro “is a hot potato that everyone tries to get rid of,” he said.
The ECB’s asset-purchase program aligns the eurozone’s monetary policy more closely with Japan’s against that of the U.S. In October, the Fed closed down its large-scale asset-purchase program and is moving closer toward raising interest rates. Many Fed officials have signaled they expect to stick broadly to their plan to start lifting their benchmark short-term rate from near zero around the middle of the year.
Investors predict the euro will fall faster against the greenback than the yen in the near term because it has more pressing factors driving it lower.
“The euro area stands to be a winner of the currency wars in 2015,” said Jonathan Baltora, inflation-linked bonds fund manager at AXA Investment Management, which oversees €607 billion of assets, referring to the possibility that a weaker currency would make European goods cheaper than those produced in Japan and elsewhere.

U.S. Bank Wealth Management, which manages $126 billion, said the falling euro is causing eurozone sovereign bonds to lose their allure. U.S. Bank has positions in almost all eurozone sovereign bonds. But the low yields and dim prospects for the euro have the asset manager considering reducing them, particularly in German bunds, said Jennifer Vail, its head of fixed-income research.
“We have projections for the currency and balance them with projections for the debt,” Ms. Vail said. “Add a weak euro, and it’s not attractive a bet at all…the market needs to get its head around the implications [of the ECB’s move]. The euro definitely has more room to fall.”
AllianceBernstein LP, which manages $473 billion, added to its bearish euro currency bets one week ago in expectation of a bold move by ECB President Mario Draghi at the central bank’s meeting this past Thursday, said Scott DiMaggio, director of global fixed-income investments. The move surpassed the asset manager’s expectations.
“Capital will continue to leave the euro area,” Mr. DiMaggio said. “We think there will continue to be pressure on the euro. They haven’t even started to buy the assets yet.” For now, though, AllianceBernstein is holding its positions steady.
The emotional moment a blinded veteran sees again for the first time in 20 YEARS thanks to electronic eSight glasses
Buffalo-born Mark Cornell served in the US Airforce for 18 years
He lost his sight 20 years ago due to a rare reaction to Lyme’s Disease
Mr Cornell said trying eSight's glasses was an eye-opening experience
Technology beams enhanced video images to screens inside the headset
Device means people with low vision can see detailsclearly again
The veteran shed a tear when he saw his friends Yvonne and Tom clearly
He may have been blind for 20 years, but a pair of electronic glasses has enabled a US veteran to see again.
Mark Cornell shed a tear when he saw faces clearly, describing the experience as 'eye-opening' and poignantly telling his friend Yvonne that she was 'pretty'.
The Buffalo-born veteran, who served in the US Air Force for 18 years before he lost his sight, is the President of the US Blinded Veterans Association.

Buffalo-born veteran Mark Cornell (pictured) was able to see clearly for the first time in 20 years, using electronic glasses by eSight, which beam video images into the eyes
Cornell lost much of his sight as the result of a rare reaction to Lyme’s Disease caused by a tick bite that went unnoticed.
He was left with very blurry vision and is unable to see details, but after putting on a pair of eSight smart spectacles, could see his friend’s faces clearly.
The technology consists of a headset, hidden prescription lens frame and a hand-held controller.
The headset includes a live camera that sends a video stream to the controller.

HOW DO THE GLASSES WORK?
The eSight glasses are designed for legally blind people with some low vision.
The technology consists of a headset, hidden prescription lens frame and a hand-held controller.
The headset includes a live camera that sends a video stream to the controller.
Using algorithms and selected settings such as colour and contrast, the controller customises the video in order to make images easier for people with low vision to see.
The enhanced video signal is then transmitted back to the headset and displayed on LED screens in front of the wearer's eyes.
The controller can be used to zoom in on details up to 14 times their original size, which means that wearers can see a far-away object such as a clock on a wall, or read a newspaper up close.
The contrast control makes a room seem darker or lighter, to make it easier for people to distinguish objects from their surroundings.

‘Wow, I’m tearing up,’ he added.
An eSight specialist said that within a couple of minutes of using the technology, Mr Cornell asked someone to hold his cane so he could walk independently.
Each headset costs $15,000 (£10,000) but the manufacturer helps veterans and other blind people fundraise so they can have one.
The technology helps people who are blind – and have some low vision – see people’s faces, read newspaper and signposts, use computers and watch TV, for example, because the glasses can automatically focus on short, medium and long-range objects.
It is not designed to be used by people who have no level of sight at all.

Litvinenko's revenge from beyond the grave: Spy's voice recording made before he was murdered reveals he was working on links between Putin and terrorist
Claims Putin was friends with one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives
Ukranian crime boss Semion Mogilivech is linked to a string of crimes
Include selling nuclear material, prostitution rings and contract killings
Litvinenko claims Mogilivech also sold weapons to Al Qaeda
Public inquiry into former KGB agents murder to start next week
Alexander Litvinenko - the former KGB spy who died after drinking poisoned tea in a London hotel - has linked Russian president Vladamir Putin to one of the world's most wanted criminals from beyond the grave.
Mr Litvinenko, a vocal Kremlin critic, claims on a tape made a year before his death in 2006 that Putin and Ukranian crime boss Semion Mogilevich had a 'good relationship'.
Mogilevich has been linked to a string of offences, said to run from prostitution rings to contract murders and trading in nuclear material.
In the tape, Mr Litvinenko adds another charge to the sheet: he claims Mogilevich - who he was investigating - was selling arms to Al Qaeda.

Mr Litvinenko had been investigating the links between the Russian mafia and Italian politicians
The recording, made in November 2005 and uncovered by The Telegraph, Mr Litvinenko can be heard saying: In the past, I have given a lot of information about Semion Mogilevich to Mario Scarmella. 'Now Semion Mogilevich is on the FBI's most wanted list.
'And Mogilevich has a good relationship with Russian President Valdimir Putin since 1994 or 1993.
'And Mogilevich has contact with Al Qaeda.
'And Simon Mogilevich sells weapons to Al Qaeda.'
In the tape, Mr Litvinenko also claims he gave Mr Scarmella - a consultant for the Mitrokhin Commission, which was investigating links between the Russian mafia and Italian politicians - information about a former KGB officer who has links with Al Qaeda.
He says the agent also had links to Russia’s foreign intelligence and state security services, and had used them to influence Chechen rebels.

Mr Litvinenko goes on to claim he was blackmailed after handing over the intelligence.
In the recording, Mr Litvinenko alleges the Russian special services asked for his brother to be arrested and extradited back home, following arrests made using information he had given to Mr Scarmella.
Mr Litvinenko, who was 43, died three weeks after drinking tea poisoned with a rare radioactive isotope in November 2006.
The family have said they believe the Russian government was involved in his murder.

Mr Litvinenko died three weeks after being poisoned by polonium-210, which was put in his tea, a year after the recording was made
British police suspect ex-KGB agents Andrei Lugovoy, who has denied any involvement, and Dmitry Kovtun slipped polonium-210 into Litvinenko's tea when they met him at the Millennium Hotel in central London.
Russia has always denied any involvement in the death of Mr Litvinenko. who had worked for MI6 for several years, as well as by the Spanish security services to help investigate Russian mafia activities.
A public inquiry into his death finally begins in the British capital next week, and the judge who will oversee the inquiry has already cited a 'prima facie case' indicating Russian involvement.
FLU SEASON HITS SOME BIG STATES HARD CBS NewsJanuary 23, 2015, 12:38 PM
Flu season
may be starting to let up a bit in some parts of the country, but it's hitting
a number of big states hard.
The latest update from the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention shows that the epidemic
clobbered New York in recent days.
In last week's report,
flu activity in the state was "low," but since then it's skyrocketed
into the red zone on the CDC map with high levels of illness. California has also seen a significant
surge of flu-like illnesses over the previous week. Other major hotspots on the
flu map include Texas, which has been suffering through high levels of illness
since late November.
The south-central United States; Virginia and West Virginia; Washington state and Idaho are also hard hit, and much of the western half of the country is nearly as bad.
A total of 23 states reported high levels of flu-like illness, based on larger than usual numbers of people seeing their doctors with symptoms. Geographically, cases were widespread throughout 44 states. But since the start of the year, illness levels have started declining in a many states in the eastern half of the country. The CDC reports that in the week ending January 17, 11 children nationwide died of influenza. The outbreak has killed 56 children so far this season, slightly more than at this time last year. People age 65 and over are far more likely than anyone else to end up hospitalized with serious complications from the flu, especially if they have underlying medical conditions like heart disease or obesity. Since this year's flu vaccine has proven less effective than normal, it's more important than ever to take steps to try to avoid picking up the flu bug. The CDC offers these tips for flu prevention:
Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
If you come down with flu-like symptoms, stay home except to get medical care. Don't go back to school or work until your fever has been gone for at least 24 hours.
While sick, limit contacts as much as possible to avoid infecting others.
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and don't leave used tissues lying around.
Dramatic footage filmed by woman who thought she was watching police arrest a woman… only to realise it was a KIDNAPPING when the victim tried to escape
A woman recorded a terrifying kidnapping attempt by men posing as police
After first thinking it was an arrest, she starts to realise it is a kidnapping
She says: 'I don't know if they're real police, because they're taking the car'
Wearing uniforms and carrying assault rifles, the men pull a couple over
But both victims manage to escape after being detained in separate cars
A terrifying kidnap attempt carried out by men posing as police has been caught on camera by a woman who thought she was recording a police arrest.
The dramatic footage shows a couple being pulled over by a carload of men wearing bullet proof vests, police uniforms and carrying assault rifles in Pretoria, South Africa.
The witness, who is parked around 50m away, starts off recording the encounter and questioning why the police have drawn their weapons.
The kidnappers armed with assault rifles and wearing police uniforms detain the woman

She is then bundled into the back of her own SUV as the witness films the entire incident from a distance

However, after her partner managed to flee from the kidnappers' white vehicle, she makes a break herself
+6
She then runs towards the woman filming the incident and begins banging on her car door for help
'It's not right, it's not right,' the witness says. 'She probably doesn't even understand what is happening. What are they doing?
'Look, they have guns out and everything. She is probably so scared they're going to end up shooting her or something. You can't fight the police like that.
She then suggests: 'Maybe they're not real police.'
Just after the victim is bundled into the back of her own black SUV, the second victim can be seen climbing out of the kidnappers' white BMW.
Despite his shirt being torn off his back by a captor trying to hold him, he manages to flee.
Then the woman herself jumps from the SUV and starts running directly towards the witness' parked car.
By this stage, the kidnappers' ruse was completely blown and the witness calls the police.
In a panic, she can be heard saying to the emergency responder: 'Oh my god it's a bad emergency.
'There's these Chinese people and these cars and this lady is running and the police have their guns out... But I don't know if they're real police, because they're taking the car.'
The recording ends with the victim banging on the door of the witness' car in a desperate plea for help.
Police later recovered bulletproof vests, police reflector jackets, a blue light and two R5 rifles in the abandoned black BMW 30km away from the scene, Pretoria East Rekord reported.

We focus on teaching you the tools to become your own authority on the truth, gaining self-mastery, sovereignty, and freedom in the process. We want each of you to become your own leaders and masters of personal discernment, and as such, all information should be vetted, analyzed and discerned at a personal level.
