The Orlando Shootings: Police SWAT Team Involved in the Killings?
The official FBI police report acknowledges shootings at 2am, it does not confirm the occurrence of killings of hostages prior to 5am. The killings started when the Police SWAT Teams stormed the Building at 5.13am. The Orlando Police Department Timeline summarized in an FBI Tampa Press release not only suggests that no one was killed before 5.13am when the SWAT team broke into the building, it also confirms that the first deadly shots were fired at 5.14am and that the suspect was killed one minute later at 5.15am. This assessment was confirmed by Judge Napolitano in a Fox News report: “Here’s what is news in the summary – nobody died until 05:13 in the morning, when the SWAT team entered. Prior to that no one had been killed. The 53 that were injured, and the 49 that were murdered all met their fates at the time of, and during, the police entry into the building,”

After 1.7 billion miles Juno nails its Jupiter orbit to within tens of miles
Traveling at a speed of 165,000 mph toward a swirling gas giant Monday night, the Juno spacecraft would have no second chances. Had its Leros 1b engine burned too long, Jupiter would have swallowed Juno into its gaseous maw. If the engine burned too short, the spacecraft would have zipped onward into space, lost into the inky blackness forever. But Juno needed no second chance late on the night of July 4th as its hardy little engine fired for a total 2,102 seconds, perfect to within one second, inserting the spacecraft neatly into orbit around Jupiter.

Secret bankers be warned: "Panama Papers" were the first shots of a "Helvetian War."
Here's a long one -- a major posting about the coming war that no one seems to have on their scopes or horizons. Although this scenario was loosely described in fiction, it may take the world's powers by surprise. And it will not need their permission. A few small nations could decide on this desperate course, tomorrow. Let's start with last month's headlines -- and hence "old news." The spill of confidential records from a Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonseca & Co., was called “the Wikileaks of the mega-rich.” Despite revealing only the tip of a very-dirty iceberg, the Panama Papers shine light upon a vast network of powerful people around the world who use shell corporations and secret, offshore accounts to dodge taxes, or evade sanctions, or to launder money. Mossack Fonseca is one of the leading creators of shell companies, according to the Center for Public Integrity. Released files include data on 214,488 "offshore entities" involving individuals in 200 countries and territories.

EU-Parlament stellt Weichen für Websperren gegen Terror
Der Innenausschuss des EU-Parlaments drängt darauf, terroristische Webseiten zu löschen und notfalls auch zu sperren. Entwickler von Malware für Terrorakte sollen sich strafbar machen. Wenn Anschläge befürwortet werden, soll auch das strafbar sein. EU-Abgeordnete fordern, dass Provider deutlich schärfer gegen extremistische Propaganda im Internet vorgehen. Als "wirksamstes Mittel" gegen illegale terroristische Inhalte empfiehlt der federführende Innenausschuss, diese "an der Quelle" zu entfernen. Die Mitgliedsstaaten sollten daher "alles in ihrer Macht Stehende unternehmen", um darauf auch gemeinsam mit Drittländern hinzuarbeiten. Lässt sich der inkriminierte Content nicht löschen, sollen die EU-Nationen aber auch Maßnahmen treffen können, mit denen der Zugang dazu blockiert wird.

What media companies don’t want you to know about ad blockers
New York Times CEO Mark Thompson caused a minor stir a couple weeks ago when he gave a speech at an advertising conference declaring that “No one who refuses to contribute to the creation of high quality journalism has the right to consume it.” He went on to say that while the Times is “not there yet,” the company may soon prevent users with ad blockers from accessing its site. But newspaper executives like Thompson often focus exclusively on the drawbacks of ad blockers, leaving a big part of the story untold. Thompson did not say one word in his keynote address about the significant security benefits of ad blockers, which is ironic, because his paper was one of several news organizations that served its users.

Last chance to have your say on new EU spam and cookie law
There are just 24 hours left to respond to a public consultation on the EU’s so-called Cookie Law. The European Commission plans an overhaul of the more correctly named ePrivacy Directive before the end of the year to bring it into line with the new General Data Protection Regulation. The use of cookies in the UK is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), based on the ePrivacy Directive, which require organisations to provide clear information about how cookies are used on their website and allow people to opt in or opt out from having non-essential cookies placed on their device.

Europol’s online censorship unit is haphazard and unaccountable says NGO
Europol’s Internet Referral Unit (IRU) celebrated its first birthday at the weekend, but civil liberties organisations are worried that it goes too far in its efforts to keep the Web free from extremist propaganda. The IRU has been up and running since July 2015 as part of the European Counter Terrorism Centre (ECTC) in the Hague. The unit is charged with monitoring the Internet for extremist propaganda and referring “relevant online content towards concerned Internet service providers” in particular social media. Much was made of how the IRU could "contact social network service provider Facebook directly to ask it to delete a Web page run by ISIS or request details of other pages that might be run by the same user."

Linux Australia backflips on Appelbaum stance
Linux Australia has done a backflip on its stance over privacy advocate Jacob Appelbaum who was recently thrown out of several software groupings following numerous accusations of sexual harassment. On Friday, LA president Hugh Blemings issued a statement on the group's main mailing list, saying that Appelbaum would not be invited to the next Australian national Linux conference (LCA 2017) or to the next event on LA's calendar, its annual Python conference which is known as PyCon Australia.

Jamaica to install weed vending machines at airports
Instead of landing and having to ask strangers where “the plug” is, you’ll find it conveniently plugged into the wall nearby. The Jamaican government is looking over a proposal to install cannabis kiosks in Jamaican airports. Only one year ago, the Jamaican House of Representatives passed a law that made possession of 2 ounces of marijuana legal. Now the proposal being looked over by the Cannabis Licensing Authority would allow a tourist to obtain 2 ounces from a kiosk before they even check into their hotel.
