Some random items of interest:

§ *Crime wars* <http://www.cnas.org/node/5022> from
*CNAS*<http://www.cnas.org/>.
 This report aside:  Has the beltway's *CNAS* <http://www.cnas.org/> become
the McDonalds of military theory?

§ *Interesting data/analysis*<http://abcnews.go.com/Health/MindMoodNews/story?id=7288842&page=3>
on
mass murders.   ...*the trough in the mass murder rate during the 1940s and
50s may have been due to the upsurge in pro-social indicators like marriage,
family, jobs, college attendance, home ownership, church attendance and an
overall higher standard of living.  * NOTE: the opposite of this being:
 economic over social/income stratification (10's, 20's, 80's, 90's,
00's).

§ *Al Qaeda in Iraq
surges*<http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/28/world/middleeast/28qaeda.html?_r=2&partner=rss&emc=rss>.
 Baffles "experts (why do we continue to spend the big bucks employing these
beltway experts when they get the basics of 21st Century insurgency
wrong ?!?).  Here's some more from the article: *Each member in a cell of
the group, which numbers from 6 to 20 fighters, is trained in a range of
specialties. The cell’s leader, or emir, has the authority to plan attacks,
**often working in concert with other insurgent groups**, including
Baathists. The organization is designed so that the loss of any individual,
including a leader, has as little effect as possible.*  NOTE: *Why did it
resurge?*  The same reason for why it declined.  It got too big and
aggressive for its partners/competitors in the Sunni *open source insurgency
*<http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/28/world/middleeast/28qaeda.html?_r=2&partner=rss&emc=rss>.
 It became a threat.  As a result, they killed it with US help.  Now that
it's rightsized, it fits nicely within the insurgency and is free to grow
again.  (hoisted from the comments, thanks)

§ Opposition to the establishment of a *US Internet
blacklist*<http://demandprogress.org/blacklist/?source=tw>.
 *Another example*<http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/Obama-Wants-to-Wiretap-the-Internet-841145/>is
the effort by the US to get backdoors into Internet/wireless
communications.  China as the model for the future of the nation-state --
economic dictatorship (the Chinese, at least, delivering economic growth in
exchange for this, we just deliver economic growth to the top 1%).

§ *Flows of Pakistani
Taliban*<http://www.cbs.com/primetime/60_minutes/video/?pid=3OROxzDQ3UpO8jrKAqqyIu4ceSxbllal>.
 CBS.

§ M. Lotus.  *Another look at the Tea Party as an
insurgency*<http://rightnetwork.com/posts/1001642110>.
 TARP as trigger.

§ *A short pause in the march
towards...*<http://blog.washingtonpost.com/story-lab/2010/09/wiretapping_charges_dropped_ag.html>
  *Graber was also charged with possessing a “device primarily useful for
the purpose of the surreptitious interception of oral communications" -- *as
in: having a video camera on a public street.

§ *HFT as a security risk* <http://hftsecurityrisk.com/>.  Roderick Jones
and Concentric takes a look at high frequency trading.  Nice application of
superempowerment for disruption and small group enrichment.

§ *Data leak at corporate
spy*<http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/internet/8028883/List-of-porn-pirates-leaked-on-to-internet.html>
?

§ *Cogitamus* <http://www.avantgame.com/McGonigal_WhyILoveBees_Feb2007.pdf>:
 *we** think, therefor **we** are*.  Collaborative knowledge culture and
gaming.

§ Micro-entrepreneurial smash.  *Colin
Brayton*<http://boizebueditorial.com/mailman/listinfo/brazilianbeat_boizebueditorial.com>is
starting a daily newsletter on Brazilian business.  $10-15 a month.
 There's still probably an open source business model here for less than
english language paper worthy business news (twice daily, 5-7 stories per
issue), $25 a month.
