U.S. Funded Health Search Engine Blocks 'Abortion'
A U.S. government-funded medical information site that bills itself as the world's largest database on reproductive health has quietly begun to block searches on the word "abortion," concealing nearly 25,000 search results.
Never mind the censorship issue that this completely obliterates freedom of the press or information, how about that health issue?
You know, things like "Uterine Infections" or "Hemorrhaging" or other things that might be legit reasons for the health need of terminating a pregnancy.
Not giving someone the ability to choose with a full range of facts? Bad. Censoring health information that could endanger people's lives? Fucked up.

posse comitatus - preventing martial law
Wikileak: Homeland Security Planning
This link is a PDF on Wikileaks - a leaked official document regarding the homeland security measures at the RNC.
Groups involved in the security measures include ICE: Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Department of Defense's Army Northern Command, and the NGA -
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA provides mapping tools and imagery intelligence that are obtained from the United State's military spy satellites which are controlled by the National Reconnaissance Office).
If NORTHCOMM was assisting in the planning was the military involved in crowd control strategies in violation of posse comitatus? Was military intelligence used to watch the protesters at the RNC? If so, that is A LITTLE TINY BIT illegal.

Making the public domain public
Public Records: now with availability to the public!
"If you want to search federal court documents, it's not a problem. Just apply online for an account, and the government will issue you a user name and password.
Through the postal service.
And once you log in, the government's courthouse search engine known as Public Access to Court Electronic Records or PACER, will charge you 8 cents a page to read documents that are in the public domain — a fee that earned the federal judiciary $50 million in profits in 2006."
This guy is taking the records and posting them online for free.
Imagine that: public records available to the public. For free.
