Second Cop in Weeks to be Found Dead After Faking an Attack on Himself
Millis, MA — A new cop on the Millis police force, who put a whole neighborhood on lock-down and initiated a massive manhunt when he fabricated a story to cover up his car accident, has just been found dead in his residence near Millis, Massachussets.
In September, Officer Bryan Johnson, 24, said someone in a pickup truck opened fire on his vehicle as they passed in opposite directions on Forest Road.
“My cruiser’s been shot at. I’m at Forest Road. It’s going to be a dark maroon pickup,” the officer radioed to dispatch at 2:17 p.m.
As the story goes, he spun around …read more
Triple-Black Friday…for Firefox
Well, just to give a nice “fuck you” to the nonsense that is Black Friday, I want to share with you something that is completely free. Not a dime to spend, and it works with Firefox and Firefox-based browsers.
And the relevance for the Dark Android Project is that the developer of this Firefox add-on has also released an experimental version of it for the Android version of the Firefox browser (and again, Firefox-based browsers like Orfox, IceCat, or the AdBlock Browser).
The add-on is simply and aptly called: “Black background and white text“. And that’s exactly what it does, it inverts …read more

Politico Story Says Some Republican Presidential Candidates Complain about Primary Ballot Access
Shane Goldmacher has this story in Politico, which says that some recognized Republican candidates for President are complaining about primary ballot access. One complaint is the very high filing fees some southern Republican Parties are charging for presidential candidates to get on the ballot. State laws in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina, and Texas permit the Republican Party to create their own barriers, beyond those mentioned in state law.
The irony is that neither states nor political parties are permitted to impose mandatory filing fees on candidates without giving any alternative method to get on the ballot. The …read more
Open Letter: Justifying our immigration position
From Jim Babka
President, Downsize DC
Lots of people have written to us, so that it’s getting impossible to respond to all of them. We have been informed, repeatedly, over the past couple of days, that we’ve “lost our way.” Here I am, working on Thanksgiving, reading those messages and writing this reply…
This memo needs to be an Open Letter. It is not intended for anyone, personally. I think, given the number and type of letters requesting response, in the last couple of days, that it’s important to be general in my response and answer everyone alike — which means this answer …read more
How Cops Use “Psychopaths and Liars” and Often Become Them to Achieve their Goals
It should be common knowledge now that law enforcement has no hesitation in abandoning morality to achieve its goals. During interrogation of suspects, they can lie, offer false rewards, harass and threaten in the pursuit of a confession, deceiving the suspect into waiving his constitutional rights. This is used on children too, resulting in a high rate of false confessions.
The FBI scrapes the bottom of the barrel in carrying out its bizarre business of turning hopeless, angry teenagers into terrorists. In 2009-2010 two undercover agents, along with dozens of support operatives and a massive surveillance undertaking, spent a year to …read more

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 2: Proof That You Want Intel-based Mobile Devices
I love it when I get to talk hardware at the Dark Android Project, and with this new tablet I’m going to talk about, I’ve been given another opportunity.
This one is a bit of a weird animal since you can buy it with either Android or Windows 10 installed. Yep, it’s an Intel-based device, so it unquestionably proves the point I’ve been making on this blog for some time: You can run other operating systems on Intel-based devices, and that means you have greater control of your device, and you have options, which are the very essence of freedom. Really, …read more
