Will update over the day.
Comcast to limit customers’ broadband usage starting October 1 – Comcast knows exactly what they’re doing with this one. They are attempting to set an outrageous precedent here and then gradually lower the limit down to more commonly used levels. Not even the worst spammers send out 54 million emails a month. This is total testing of the waters for Internet2.

George Soros Funding Massachusetts Effort to Decriminalize Pot – I’ve read that somewhere in the distribution line, they put other stuff in there.

Israel’s national broadcast authority bans all radio ads criticizing government policy on Gaza, saying it is too controversial – I’ll bet. The only democracy in the Middle East, huh? Yeah.
US opens up first ever formal military installation on Israeli soil – “Anyone who tries to attack Israel with missiles will consider the radar a priority target. Anyone attempting such a strike will have to take into account the likelihood of harming the American crew, and the implications of such an action. This will increase Israel’s deterrence, to a certain extent. Israel, too, will have to take into account the risk to the lives of the American radar operators, if it decides to strike the Iranian nuclear installations or strategic targets in Syria. Israel will not be able to take action without early and explicit approval from the White House. The minute the base in the Negev is set up, it will be like handcuffs on Israel’s freedom of action.”
Western governments say Hezbollah is moving into VENEZUELA – Apparently this has been “long feared”. Really, so why is it just coming out now? More WW3 prep.
