Barack Obama's 'Black Widow' : The Super Spy Computer

'The NSA's colossal Cray supercomputer, code-named the 'Black Widow,' scans millions of domestic and international phone calls and e-mails every hour. . . . The Black Widow, performing hundreds of trillions of calculations per second, searches through and reassembles key words and patterns, across many languages.'

Barack Obama will be in charge of the biggest domestic and international spying operation in history. Its prime engine is the National Security Agency (NSA)—located and guarded at Fort Meade, Maryland, about 10 miles northeast of Washington, D.C.

In July, George W. Bush signed into law the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, which gives the NSA even more power to look for patterns that suggest terrorism links in Americans' telephone and Internet communications.

The ACLU immediately filed a lawsuit on free speech and privacy grounds. The new Bush law provides farcical judicial supervision over the NSA and other government trackers and databasers.

Senator Barack Obama voted for this law.

"The government [is now permitted] to conduct intrusive surveillance without ever telling a court who it intends to spy on, what phone lines and e-mail addresses it intends to monitor, where its surveillance targets are located, why it's conducting the surveillance or whether it suspects any party to the communication of wrongdoing."

spy-computer.html

Don't worry. Obama's chief of staff is Israeli citizen-soldier Rahmbo.

Israeli Mossad runs almost all wiretaps for NSA and police in USA.

Go baaaaarack to sleep.

DREAMTROVE

I have an actual black widow in my room. It was so large that at first I didn't think it could be, but then I looked up online, and sure enough, it can.

The larger spiders tend to lose the shelob shape, and the hourglass gets decidedly more orange. It starts to take on more of a dock spider shape. It lives around the head of my bed. I should probably research and see what it eats. I guess it probably eats fleas, left by the recently visiting animals, since that's what the web is full of.

Interesting other facts: just about everything can swim, including fleas. And of course, spiders. Not being able to swim is a really rare characteristic.

Oh, and for the city folk, yes, I was bitten by a black widow, but only once. I was younger and tried to capture it, and did, in a cup, and then I dropped the cup. Here's some advice: Don't. It's a bad idea. The bite stung for a weak and left a round bruise like someone had stuck an olive slice in my arm. If you don't want to get bitten, just don't interfere in its little world. This one, which is about quarter-sized, walks around my bed each night. I respond in the way I do when there's a bat in my room, by going back to sleep. Recently, due to global warming, we've been getting a handful of brazilian fruit bats. They're distictive because they're lighter in color, and about 2-3 foot in wingspan, several times the size of out local black bats. The proper thing to do when you see one is roll over and go back to sleep. :)

I'm glad I don't live there.

We only have giant spiders living under my motorcycle cover.

Like a wolf spider but 5 times larger.

And snakes in the house. And headless mice screaming.

We have wolf spiders and dock spiders here, they tend to grow to maybe half a palm span, nothing too big. They're harmless. There's really nothing much in nature that represents a threat that you can see. In my experience, the real threats come from two sources:

People. Usually unintentionally, through contagions, but somethimes intentionally through guns, drugs, and money, and occasionally mandatory live vaccines and other forms of medicine. Oh, also vehicles.

Food. Usually food that was prepared, and usually in an unkempt fashion at a cheap restaurant, a breeding ground for microbes, so above, threats you can't see.

Up in my neck of the woods, we don't get too much indoor wildlife other than the occasional fieldmouse, which prettymuch amounts to a free lunch for the felidae.

Imma live and let live kinda guy, but I am quite territorial and I HATE bugs, particularly crickets, spiders, wasps and yellowjackets - cause a spider, rarely, and the latter two *especially* have the nasty habit of zapping you first, sans provocation, which means if I spot them in my territory, they're dead meat.

Best clean up quick after a yellowjacket kill though, the evil little bastards release an alarm scent when killed that'll draw the little bastards for a mile or more, and they will be pretty pissed off.

Any bug that comes over to me, stings me for no damn reason and then calls in reinforcements when I dare retaliate deserves to die, you ask me - I know they're a beneficial insect, but once they're in my territory, they're *gonna* be a casualty.

Ah, perhaps so. But the question you should be asking yourself is whose territory it is?

Afterall, isn't that the question with Gaza?

We built this house, and we did it on open land. Land that belonged to us, according to the arrogance of human assumption. But the black widow spiders were most certainly here before us. As were the bats, and pretty much everything except for the argentine ants and their entourage of followers.

I may have set up shop here, but it's not my land, and never was, never will be.

I had no idea black widow spiders lived there. I would have thought it would be too cold. Generally I don't mind the black widows here. They mostly seem to keep out of the house for some reason, and to hide in small places that I don't go to very much. But one of the cats got bitten by one that was in the house, and so, I killed it.

Another thing that I thought was strange - many years ago I learned that rattlesnakes inhabit the Adirondacks. Who knew ?

I found out that tarantulas live here in So Cal, big things, as big as my hand.

Generally, I don't mind critters, but I do try to discourage them from moving in. I don't like mice in the house (Hanta virus), or other rodents (poop and potential for rabies). But they're welcome to live wherever they like in the yard, drink from the birdbath, and dine on the food I make sure to grow for them.

Inside my personal space, I'd have to say mine, despite what anyone or anything else thinks, call it natural human arrogance.

Any bug not smart enough to get away from the mammal a thousand times it's size has it coming, and any bug who actively approaches with hostile intent for no particular reason (that being said yellowjackets) absolutely deserves to die.

I got a bit of a grind with the cursed things, as they'll just fly up and sting you out of the blue for no particular reason, I don't wear floral shirts or cologne, etc - they just come up to ya and zap you just to be assholes, and I think at that point, they need an example in Darwinism.

Stinging the aggressive mammal a thousand times your size for no particular reason when you're ALONE... doesn't exactly strike me as a good survival trait to pass on to future generations.

When it comes to evolution, between us and them, we don't stand a chance. Hell, Gaza's chance against Israel looks shiny by comparison.

I learned my lesson. Peacefully co-exist.

Especially if caught in the act of sucking juice from his corpse after sex.

Too scary. Robot computers are replacing "intelligence" agents.

Redlight and radar robocops are replacing traffic police.

Robot UAVs will replace most US Air Force pilots by 2020.

Soon Haliburton Terminator robots will replace Monsanto Terminator seeds as the primary method of population reduction, er, "control".

And USA will soon have a Nazi Terminator as president, after the next ConCon.

They DO do that. So do 'killer bees', which we have. The wasps around here seem to be too busy building their little homes to pay much attention.

I always thought that yellowjackets were attracted to vinegar. Some people in our neighborhood where I grew up (several homes, in fact) used to do their BIG-batch canning and pickling in fall, outside - and those yellowjackets would just swarm around the relish and pickle-making.

I've been ranting about this till I'm hoarse in the finger-tips. At this point, I give up.

But at least you didn't get the swarm (speaking of insects) of 'hey, if you're not doing anything wrong why do you care' responses I always got.

It's just paranoia. The govt. can barely boot up a computer. All the talent is on the other side.

Nah, it's like the Russkies, they're just not admitted to it.

I see none in Madagascar either. Perhaps they can't swim *that* well. Or maybe they just need boats. Madagascar is deperately trying to prevent the rest of subsaharan africa from exporting its major product: AIDS. So I figure there's relatively little traffic there.

We had more snow in NY. But, while taxes are somewhat (and only somewhat) higher in Canada, the COLA is much, much less. No medical insurance and uncovered medical expenses; only minimal transportation expenses, ridiculously cheap education expenses - even for medical school and graduate school; no god-awful amounts of money going to prisons; and lots of personal security from crime.

Yep, the quality of life really is much higher in Canada.

Kathy,

No idea you were so close. We've thought about it from time to time. Bob actually made the leap. I have the accent for it. It's the socialism :) But I think that it wouldn't be a bad move. If it came to that.
