How do the odds of dying in a terrorist attack stack up against the odds of dying in other unfortunate situations?

The following ratios were compiled using data from 2004 National Safety Council Estimates, a report based on data from The National Center for Health Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition, 2003 mortality data from the Center for Disease Control was used.

– You are 17,600 times more likely to die from heart disease than from a terrorist attack

– You are 12,571 times more likely to die from cancer than from a terrorist attack

– You are 11,000 times more likely to die in an airplane accident than from a terrorist plot involving an airplane

– You are 1048 times more likely to die from a car accident than from a terrorist attack

King Roy doctored a video for a dishonest attack ad, changing the questions that were asked by members of the press at a recent campaign event. When those same members of the press caught up with him and confronted him on the distortion, King Roy refused to pull the dishonest commercials.

Brazil‘s government, behind the facade of open democracy, continues to advance its way as one of the most autoritarian police states in the world.

Brazilian population will be forced very soon to have in their cars identification chips (RFID), besides GPS locators and blockers.

According to several news , the brazilian government hurries to show until november of 2010 the GPS tracker that will be legally required to be in all new cars from February of 2011.

It is unclear how this will work but in this article of the Folha de Sao Paulo says the Denatran (Transit National Department) will oversee the center, and that it will be operated by Serpro (organ of government for data processing). This means that the brazilian government can access the location of any car registered in any country.

A town in southern Sweden has been in the grip of fear for over a year, after a series of random shootings that have left one dead and 8 wounded.

The shootings have been taking place in Malmo, Sweden’s third biggest city, which is also home to a large immigrant community. Police say all the incidents have the same hallmark – a lone gunman, targeting immigrants.

Since the police made that announcement about a week ago, there have been four more attacks, on top of the 15 last year.

Moreover, the latest shootings come just a month after the Swedish election, in which the Sweden Democrats, a far-right party, hostile towards immigration, made it to parliament for the first time. All these events together reinforce the worry that there is general hostility in Swedish society towards immigrants.

NEW YORK (WABC) — The terror threat has led to increased security at some synagogues in our area on the Sabbath, out of concern that Jewish institutions could be targets.

Rabbi Elie Weinstock at the congregation Kehilath Jeshurun on East 85th street learned of security alert issued by the Anti-Defamation League on Friday afternoon.

“Gut reaction when we hear about alerts is how can we keep our people safe. We want to go on with life as usual, but we also need to be safe,” he said.

The White House says the explosives found in two packages sent from Yemen to the United States had been addressed to Jewish organizations in the Chicago area.

Linda Haase, associated vice president of Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago, confirms synagogues were notified to be on alert, but would not release details.

A firm handshake is usually seen as a good thing in business and even in politics.

Not so much in South Florida. A candidate for the Broward County School Board wants the cops to lock up her opponent after what she claims was akin to battery after a recent debate.

Jaemi Levine filed a complaint with the Broward Sheriff’s Office claiming David Thomas squeezed her hand so hard during a post-debate handshake Tuesday that it now hurts.

Instead of getting a grip on education issues, Thomas decided to get a grip on his opponent for the Disctrict 4 seat.

The day after federal investigators unveiled an unsuccessful terrorist plot against the D.C. Metro system, transit police are considering implementing one of the most controversial security measures available to them.

Metro police now believe they may have to resort to random bag searches, after learning of the FBI’s Wednesday arrest of Farooque Ahmed, 34, of Ashburn, Va., for helping to plan an attack on the D.C. subways.

“We will definitely look at that,” Metro Transit Police Chief Michael Taborn tells WTOP.

“That is one of the initiatives that was recommended (by the Federal Transit Administration) to many transit agencies — Boston, New York. So it is a methodology that can be used.”

Two years ago, Metro announced that it was going to start random bag searches, but those never materialized.

CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) - The gruesome case of a man who was stabbed and beheaded in a suburban Phoenix apartment has police investigating whether the killing is potentially the most extreme example of Mexican drug cartel violence spilling over the border.

Martin Alejandro Cota-Monroy’s body was found Oct. 10 in a Chandler apartment - his severed head a couple feet away. One man suspected in the killing has been arrested, and a manhunt is under way for three others.

Detectives are focused on whether the men belong to a Mexican drug cartel, and they suspect that Cota-Monroy’s killing was punishment for stealing drugs. The brutal nature of the killing could be designed to send a message to others within the cartel.

“If it does turn out to be a drug cartel out of Mexico, typically that’s a message being sent,” said Chandler police Detective David Ramer. “This person was chosen to be executed. It sends a message to other people: If you cross us, this is what happens.”

UN funding is being used to run a brutal internment camp for the destitute in Cambodia where detainees are held for months without trial, raped and beaten, sometimes to death, former inmates have told the Guardian.

The Prey Speu facility, 12 miles from Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, is officially described as a “social affairs centre” offering education and healthcare to vulnerable people.

But human rights groups and former inmates say the centre is an illegal, clandestine prison, where people deemed “undesirable” by the government – usually drug users, sex workers and the homeless – are held for months without charge.

Men, women and children are housed together in a single building and are regularly beaten with planks, whipped with wires or threatened with weapons, according to witnesses.

The American people are mad.  No, check that, they are steaming mad.  In the weeks leading up to the election, poll after poll after poll has shown that the American people are angrier at government than at any other point in modern U.S. history.  American voters have been angry before, but this time it is different.  Instead of being mad at just one political party, the American people are now clearly disgusted with both political parties.  Neither major party has a positive approval rating.  People are sick and tired of the economy being in the tank, they are sick and tired of not being able to get good jobs and they are sick and tired of the nonsense that has been going on in Washington.  Both political parties are busy pointing fingers at each other, but what all the major polls in the weeks leading up to the election clearly show is that the American people are placing the blame on both the Republicans and the Democrats.  In fact, as you will see below, a clear majority of the American people now wish that they could throw every member of Congress out of office and a clear majority of the American people now wish that they had a third political party to vote for.  We have arrived at a point where both political parties have lost the faith of the American people, and where we go from here is anyone’s guess.

Not that the American people have a clear idea of what they actually want.  The truth is that the citizens of the United States are deeply, deeply divided on a whole host of issues.  But the one thing that American voters can agree on is that they are hopping mad.
The following are 12 recent polls that prove that the American people are really, really pissed off as election day approaches…

(Reuters) - Several shots were fired at a Marine Corps museum near Washington overnight, police said on Friday, in the latest of a series of shootings at military buildings around the U.S. capital. No one was injured.

The FBI already linked a previous October shooting at the museum in Virginia to two other area shootings, one at a Marine Corps recruiting station in a different Virginia suburb and the other at the Pentagon.

In the October 19 Pentagon shooting, investigators believe a high-velocity rifle was used to shatter two exterior windows. No one has been injured in any of the incidents.

The Pentagon has said it is tightening security for Sunday’s Marine Corps marathon after the latest shooting.

Unlike the Washington, D.C., sniper shootings of October 2002, in which a sniper shot and killed 10 people and terrified the Washington area, this gunman appears to be targeting military buildings, not people. All the incidents occurred overnight or during off-peak hours.

The Pentagon was a target of the September 11, 2001, attacks. In March, a gunman shot and wounded two security officers near a Pentagon entrance, and was killed in the process.

Authorities are investigating a suspicious package found on a UPS plane that arrived at Philadelphia International Airport Friday.

A crew member arriving on a UPS flight from Paris notified authorities of a suspicious package on board describing a potential radiological component, a local CBS affiliate reported.

Philadelphia police and firefighters greeted the inbound flight shortly after 9 a.m. and the two occupants exited the aircraft, the station reported.

A second UPS flight, which was due to take off from Philadelphia, was also isolated in the investigation, local station WPVI reported.

Department of Homeland Security is investigating the incident with help from local police and the FBI, a source at the airport said.

UPS said in a statement that its “cooperating with authorities to investigate a suspicious package that arrived in Philadelphia.”

Operations at the airport are not affected and all flights are taking off and landing as scheduled, the airport reported.

Earlier this month, the United States Coast Guard upheld its self-declared status as a ’special’ branch of the military with the ability to prosecute civilians in military tribunals. This startling declaration, unreported in the media, came in a Decision on Appeal related to the case of Lieutenant Eric Shine, a commissioned Naval officer in the Merchant Marines and a graduate of Kings Point Military Service Academy, and was penned by the Vice Commandant of the Coast Guard. The decision can be downloaded and read here.

The Coast Guard began proceedings to strip Lieutenant Shine of his merchant mariner license in March, 2003, supposedly as the result of incidents related to his service on two private vessels in 2001. In actuality, as Lieutenant Shine points out, the charges were brought in retaliation for attempting to blow the whistle on illegal dumping and other practices he had been asked to engage in during his employment. The Coast Guard’s case against him rested on two hostile witnesses (who had previously been named by Shine in his whistleblower litigation) and the Chief of the Coast Guard Medical Evaluations Office, an officer in the Coast Guard who had never examined Shine but was willing to testify to his medical incompetence.

The precedent-setting nature of Lieutenant Shine’s case—with the Coast Guard prosecuting him as an alleged civilian in an Article 32 military tribunal—is disturbing enough. But when this case is set in the history and context of the Coast Guard and its repeated attempts at “crossing the Rubicon,” an even more disturbing picture emerges.

New York City residents who want to own a gun may soon be denied permits if they are litterbugs, if they are bad drivers, or if they have fallen behind on a few bills.

Under proposed revisions to the police department’s handgun, rifle and shotgun permit procedures, the NYPD can reject gun license applicants for a number of reasons, including:

If they have been arrested or convicted of almost any “violation,” in any state; having a “poor driving history”; having been fired for “circumstances that demonstrate lack of good judgment”; having “failed to pay legally required debts”; being deemed to lack “good moral character”; or if any other information demonstrates “other good cause for the denial of the permit.”

Critics say many of the restrictions are vague, have nothing to do with one’s fitness to own a gun and are unconstitutional.

WASHINGTON — Halliburton knew weeks before the fatal explosion of the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico that the cement mixture they planned to use to seal the bottom of the well was unstable but still went ahead with the job, the presidential commission investigating the accident said on October 21, 2010.

In the first official finding of responsibility for the blowout, which killed 11 workers and led to the largest offshore oil spill in American history, the commission staff determined that Halliburton had conducted three laboratory tests that indicated that the cement mixture did not meet industry standards.

The result of at least one of those tests was given on March 8 to BP, which failed to act upon it, the panel’s lead investigator, Fred H. Bartlit Jr., said in a letter delivered to the commissioners on Thursday.

Another Halliburton cement test, carried out about a week before the blowout of the well on April 20, also found the mixture to be unstable, yet those findings were never sent to BP, Mr. Bartlit found.

A man whose arrest involved the use of Tasers, batons, fists and flashlights has sued the Seattle Police Department and King County, claiming the officers used excess force after county officials mistakenly released him from jail.

The arrest of Daniel Macio Saunders was recorded on videotape at the police department’s evidence facility in Georgetown, where Saunders had shown up June 11, 2009, to pick up his belongings after he’d been released from the King County Jail the day before.

PORT RICHEY – The former Port Richey police sergeant who sold oxycodone to a federal informant was sentenced Thursday morning to three years in prison.

James Ruland, 33, sold more than 1,000 prescription painkillers while on duty from his Newhope Road home in a Spring Hill suburb, drug enforcement agents said. The informant paid Ruland a $5,000 down payment and agreed to return with more money after unloading the pills to buyers. Ruland was arrested by U.S. Marshals the next day.

Let’s face it: Most Americans don’t have much use for either of the major political parties and think it would be better to dump the entire Congress on Election Day.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 65% of Likely U.S. Voters say if they had the option next week, they would vote to get rid of the entire Congress and start all over again. Only 20% would opt to keep the entire Congress instead. Fifteen percent (15%) aren’t sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Of course, the Political Class strongly disagrees.  While 84% of Mainstream voters would opt to get rid of the entire Congress, 64% of the Political Class would vote instead to keep them all.

Not surprisingly, 82% of Republicans and 78% of unaffiliateds say dump them all. Despite their party’s control of both the House and Senate, Democratic voters are fairly evenly divided: 44% say it’s better to keep the entire Congress, but 38% would prefer to give all the national legislators the heave-ho.

A surveillance video that shows a group of Houston police officers severely beating a 15-year-old suspect will not be released to the public, despite persistent requests from local media stations and newspapers.

U.S. District Judge Ewing Werlein Jr. barred the release of the video because “in all likelihood it will repeatedly be streamed on television and the Internet into every home and venue, seen by millions of persons, and become the subject of pervasive opinionated commentary.”

So what?

The final decision lies with the jury anyway, which will get to see the video. To say they are incapable of reaching an objective decision despite media commentary is saying they are incapable of serving on a jury in the first place.

The beating was apparently so severe that the seven officers involved were fired, instead of placed on paid administrative leave as is customary in these cases.

One of the officers is accused of running him over with a squad car. The officers then pounced on him and kicked and hit him repeatedly, which is being compared to the Rodney King incident by those who have seen it.

Four of those officers are now facing misdemeanor charges. If the video is as inflammatory as the judge confirms, then it is likely they should be facing felony charges.

And maybe that’s the real reason the video is not being released.

Google admitted for the first time last week that the cars it had used to photograph residential streets for its Street View mapping service had illicitly collected some personal e-mails and passwords from the homes it passed. The breach was first announced in May.

The top US consumer protection agency has dropped an inquiry into data collection breaches by Google, even as regulators in Europe and Canada have stepped up their scrutiny of the internet giant’s privacy policies.

David Vladeck, the director of the bureau of consumer protection at the Federal Trade Commission, said the FTC had decided to drop its investigation into Google’s allegedly inadvertent collection of consumer data in 2007 because it was satisfied that Google had adequately addressed the issue internally.

The FTC decision marks the end of at least one major probe into the most damaging privacy breach to hit the company to date. But the company is still facing ongoing investigations by individual state attorneys general in the US, and regulators in Spain and Canada both last week concluded that Google had broken local laws while investigations are underway in other countries.

Forget China or Al Qaeda. In a twist that would have been inconceivable even a few months ago, the WikiLeaks.org Web site is being proposed as the first public target for a U.S. government cyberattack.

After the shadowy, document-leaking organization distributed nearly 400,000 classified documents from the Iraq war on Friday, Washington officialdom responded with a torrent of denunciations alleging violations of national security and endangering U.S. military operations.
