POPSTV Series "V" -- Allegory or Propaganda? Tyranny comes with a smiling face and a promise of "hope" and "change". It means to "help" but it intends to dominate. Don't miss this "negative light" clip -- so well portrayed how the media is subdued. Of course the crafty deceiver is played so perfectly and politically-correct, by a woman. It does seem to have an apt moral to the story, a warning of universal global domination under the pretense of kindness, hope, love with a lot of change--an potent warning against Global Governance that we are moving toward. Be sure, however, that it is propaganda of some kind that only Hollywood would front, and Hollywood is not to be trusted either. After all, Star Trek's "Federation" represents precisely the same thing of utopian world or universal governance, or World Federal Union , versus the "Cling-Ons" that resist it which are painted as evil.

POPSDrones: Good & Bad News & Star Trek
The good news would be that fewer live pilots would be at risk. The bad news? 1. The use of drone attacks might go up since no direct US casualties at risk - only ground forces from friendly fire, ground forces from more violence against them in reaction to drone attacks. 2. Civilian and on-combatants casualties would go up - which might increase violence against the US. 3. There will be a drone factory of sub-contractor in the district of every congressmember who serves on a committee that give budget to drone programs. Thus welfare for defense contractors would likely increase and funds that might go for more productive things and peace might well get lost in the shuffle. Remember the Star Trek episode where a society conducted all of its war via computers? If the computer said you lost or had casualties, people then had to report for death or to be a wounded casualty. Without a draft of people into the military, the care for waging war seems to have gone down, sin

POPSJohn Scalzi's guide to the most epic FAILs in Star Wars Design
More: Bad design in Star Wars is not just limited to stuff; evolution here seems wacky, too. Three choice bits: Sarlaac A monstrous yet immobile creature who lives in an exposed pit in the middle of a lifeless desert, waiting for large animals to apparently feel suicidal and trek out to throw themselves in? Yeah, not so much. Not every Sarlaac can count on an intergalactic mob boss to feed it tidbits. That Asteroid Worm Thing in Empire Strikes Back So, large space worm lives in asteroid, disguises itself as a cave and waits for unwary spaceships to fly by so it can eat them? Makes the Sarlaac look like a marvel of natural selection, it does. Midi-Chlorians Oh, man, don't get me started. Except to say this: If in fact a high concentration of midi-chlorians is the difference between being a common schmoe and being a dude who can Force Choke his enemies, the black market in midi-chlorian injections must be amazing. Star Trek fans, don't get smug: I'm going after it ne

POPSA unique perspective on the world's fastest man Was reading an article about Usain Bolt who was cleared by the sports governing body of any drugs; he was given standard test that follows every track meet. Anyway, I was taken by one of the comments written by a fellow Jamaican which I clipped...pretty neat perspective. Oh, If you not familiar with this guy, you will be. Here's a brief update: "We already know what Bolt is"a superstar of such rare talent that he astonishes every time he gets in the starting blocks. The Jamaican who few outside the sport had heard of before Beijing blew away Tyson Gay and everyone else in obliterating the world record in the 100 meters Sunday."
