Global Red Zone http://globalredzone.posterous.com When Life is War posterous.com Sun, 06 Nov 2011 04:49:00 -0800 Project Griffin http://globalredzone.posterous.com/project-griffin http://globalredzone.posterous.com/project-griffin

Project Griffin training at Wood Street Police Station, 6 October 2011.

Project Griffin was formed in 2004 with constituents from the London Fire Brigade, London Ambulance Service, City of London Police, Coorporation of London and private security firms deployed in the City. Originally conceived by the City of London Police, it is now a national partnership and has been successfully exported to other countries.

Like many partnerships, it requires one party to be the leading initiator in the process, and in this case it is the City of London Police. Training days are held monthly at Wood Street Police Station. I attended as an observer, on behalf of the NUJ, and as a possible contributor to the training process. Read More>>>>

Sun, 24 Jul 2011 05:52:00 -0700 France to buy Israeli-made drones, ending 42-year weapons embargo - Haaretz Daily Newspaper | Israel News http://globalredzone.posterous.com/france-to-buy-israeli-made-drones-ending-42-y http://globalredzone.posterous.com/france-to-buy-israeli-made-drones-ending-42-y

The French Defense Ministry decided last week to purchase unmanned aerial vehicles from Israel, thereby bringing an end to a 42-year-old embargo on weapon purchases imposed by President Charles de Gaulle. The approved sale of Heron TP, or Eitan, will be the first time the drone is sold to a foreign country.

The Eitan is the largest and most sophisticated drone made in Israel. It is assembled by Israel Aerospace Industries, and went into operational service in the Israeli Air Force a year and a half ago. The Eitan has a wingspan of 26 meters – similar to that of a Boeing 737. It is capable of carrying out reconnaissance and intelligence missions in an altitude of up to 40,000 feet, and can remain airborne 36 hours. Eitan's large size allows it to carry a variety of equipment such as radars, sensors and camera, and, theoretically, missiles

Ga1_0239
Crushing comunities is exactly what it is about, comunities are strong and hard to penetrate for an outsider and they offer security as well as support. We are all players, those for increased security, those against it and as for those who can't decide, your under surveillance anyway waiting for your decision...when an act of crime, or injustice infuriates you to such an extent you are forced to make a choice one way or another.

Alowing levels of crime and unemployment to rise while destroying comunities that govern themselves does of course stack in favour of the establishment

Wed, 11 May 2011 10:16:00 -0700 BBC News - All armed Met Police to use Jean Charles De Menezes - hollow point death bullets http://globalredzone.posterous.com/bbc-news-all-armed-met-police-to-use-jean-cha http://globalredzone.posterous.com/bbc-news-all-armed-met-police-to-use-jean-cha

Hollow point bullets flatten and widen on impact, causing maximum damage to vital organs.

The Met says the round is less likely to splinter, harming bystanders.

Mr De Menezes, a Brazillian falsely identified as a suicide bomber, was shot dead in 2005 with hollow point bullets.

'Comprehensive testing'

After it emerged he was killed with the ammunition, cousin Alex Pereira said: "I am shocked and angry. I had no idea.

"How can the police in the UK use bullets that the Army is not allowed to use?"

Thu, 21 Apr 2011 10:22:00 -0700 BBC News - iPhone tracks users' movements http://globalredzone.posterous.com/bbc-news-iphone-tracks-users-movements http://globalredzone.posterous.com/bbc-news-iphone-tracks-users-movements

Apple iPhones and 3G iPads are secretly recording and storing details of all their owners' movements, researchers claim.

Location data is kept in a hidden, unencrypted file according to security experts Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden.

With the right software, it can be used to map exactly where a person has been.

Apple has yet to comment on the revelation, however there is no suggestion that it has been uploading or using the information.

The findings, first reported by the Guardian newspaper, will come as a surprise to most iPhone users, as their devices do not give any visual indication that such data is being recorded.

Well I never...

P4515

Fancy using your mobile to pay for your lunch or a coffee?
Well it's on it's way and will probably be in time for the 2012 Olympics too.
But as data mining is the new intel gathering system having your wallet on a mobile means that purchase you made will also have a gps location. The phone is likely to be registered and it will become easy to see where you have been and what you have brought
