The term police state as used in this report describes a government that exercises rigid and repressive controls over the social, economic and political life of its population. A police state typically exhibits elements of totalitarianism and social control, and there is usually little or no distinction between the law and the exercise of political power by the executive. The inhabitants of a police state experience restrictions on their mobility, and on their freedom to express or communicate political or other views, which are subject to police monitoring or enforcement. Political control may be exerted by means of a secret police force which operates outside the boundaries normally imposed by a constitutional state.

Survivors of the Holocaust have warned of the first stirrings of neo-fascism in Israel following the emergence of a Right-wing campaign to cleanse Arabs from predominantly Jewish parts of the country. Until this month, the shadowy Lehava organisation was best known for issuing an eccentric demand in March urging Bar Refaeli, an Israeli model, not to marry Leonardo DiCaprio, the American actor, because he is a gentile. The last time racism this extreme existed was in Nazi Germany.

After WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested in London an international group of former intelligence officers and ex-government officials released a statement in support of his work. We speak to one of the signatories, Daniel Ellsberg, the famous whistleblower who leaked the Pentagon Papers about the Vietnam War in 1971. "If I released the Pentagon Papers today, the same rhetoric and the same calls would be made about me," Ellsberg says. "I would be called not only a traitor—which I was then, which was false and slanderous—but I would be called a terrorist... Assange and Bradley Manning are no more terrorists than I am." Every human being that isn't rich and powerful and a member of the ruling elite is considered a potential terrorist.

When most people hear the word "hormones," they have a flashback to high school science class or think of their adolescent children. But rarely do we think about staples of our everyday lives such as receipts, water bottles, and baby bottles. So what do hormones have to do with a host of consumer products? This will never happen because it will cut into corporate profits and conflict with population control.

The entire middle class Americans will fall under the poverty line in five years, as the gap between the rich and the poor is widening in the United States, says an investigative journalist. “The middle class, I am afraid, in the United States is not going to exist in another five years and everybody is going to be driven down to the lower poor class,” said Wayne Madsen in a Press TV interview. “They are going to be working, as many people do, maybe two or three minimum-wage jobs just to feed their families,” he emphasized. Five years? That's extremely optimistic.

Helen Thomas, who once occupied a front-row seat in the White House briefing room, has been completely ostracized due to some inelegantly-put remarks about Israel captured on film by provocateurs. In recent years, my faith in the power of dialogue in politics has been severely tested - as, no doubt has hers - in an age where diatribes and deliberate demonization chills debate and exchanges of opposing views.

Jailed Tax Protester Richard Simkanin died in prison at 12:43 yesterday. I spoke with Simakin’s friend, Daniel Schinzing of Keene, TX, who said that Simkanin had been experiencing weakness, chest pain, and had a large lump on his chest. News of Simkanin’s death was not a surprise, given his condition. He was 67 years old at the time of his death. Simkanin had been released from prison earlier this year, but jailed again after claims of violation of his terms of release. He had served seven years in federal prison after refusing to withhold taxes from his employees at his Bedford, TX plastics business. He had been sentenced to an additional 7 years after his alleged violation of terms of release.

U.S. home foreclosures jumped in the third quarter and banks' efforts to keep borrowers in their homes dropped as the housing market continues to struggle, U.S. bank regulators said on Wednesday. The regulators said one reason for the increase in foreclosures is that banks have "exhausted" options for keeping many delinquent borrowers in their homes through programs such as loan modifications. Are you surprised? This was the banks plan all along, to trade worthless paper money for hard assets like homes and land. Watch this video and you will understand: The Money Scam

Tap water in 31 American cities was found to contain the cancer-causing metal chromium-6. Just before the Christmas holidays—December 20, 2010, to be exact—Environmental Working Group (EWG) released a report that many home faucets are supplying drinking water that’s laced with the cancer-causing metal chromium-6, otherwise known as hexavalent chromium. In fact, of the tap water EWG sampled from 35 American cities, 31 contained chromium-6, and water samples from 25 of those cities had chromium-6 at concentrations above the safe maximum set by California regulators. The highest levels were found in Norman, Oklahoma; Honolulu, Hawaii and Riverside, California. In that Oklahoma city, chromium-6 levels were at a shocking 12.9 parts per billion (ppb); the recommended safe level being considered by California is .06 ppb.

Vince Cable vowed to wage "war" on Rupert Murdoch. Bravo to him! This whole affair reminds me of a conversation with a group of Americans that I had on a train recently. They were explaining that for many years a trip across the US was a "listener's paradise". You could tune and retune your radio and always pick up the most entertaining and quirky local stations. But now, they said, following a liberalisation of the media laws (by Bill Clinton) all you get are the same standard, monotone channels wherever you happened to be. Previously stations (and newspapers and TV channels) had been protected from the big chains by rules which forbade any one organisation from owning multiple channels of media in any one particular area. This left space for local offerings and even allowed newcomers to break into the field. The removal of these laws meant that local stations were quickly gobbled up and local media became standardised and boring, with local news and local adverts slotted in by computer. I find it both bizarre and highly disturbing that governments (including the EU) should trumpet the free market but then directly go ahead and allow commerce to be dominated by a few oligarchic corporations.

The two greatest visions of a future dystopia were George Orwell’s “1984” and Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World.” The debate, between those who watched our descent towards corporate totalitarianism, was who was right. Would we be, as Orwell wrote, dominated by a repressive surveillance and security state that used crude and violent forms of control? Or would we be, as Huxley envisioned, entranced by entertainment and spectacle, captivated by technology and seduced by profligate consumption to embrace our own oppression? It turns out Orwell and Huxley were both right. Huxley saw the first stage of our enslavement. Orwell saw the second.
