(RT) — A video of Syrian rebels allegedly firing at a Russian-made helicopter on the ground has been posted on a YouTube channel associated with the FSA’s 1st Coastal Brigade. The helicopter is said to have been on a search mission for the pilots of the Su-24 jet downed by Turkey in Syria.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the militants stuck the helicopter with an anti-tank missile.
The Free Syrian Army (FSA), considered to be the so-called “moderate opposition” by the West, has received US Tow missiles among other weaponry.

Only days after warning Russia of “serious consequences” if they continued bombing ISIS in the Syrian-Turkish border region, a Russian Su-24 fighter jet was shot down by Turkey, with Turkish officials claiming the jet had violated Turkish airspace, a claim Moscow denies.
U.S. officials have stated that the Russian jet violated Turkish airspace for “a matter of seconds.”
The Russian plane was flying at an altitude of 6,000m (19,685ft) when it was shot down by the Turkish military before subsequently crashing. The pilots were reportedly shot by Turkmen as they parachuted from the jet as it crashed. Initial reports suggested the pilots …read more

“You can buy your gas with Bitcoin!”
Wow, what a concept! It seems to be the one thing that hasn’t directly happened yet (at least far as I know): a gas station that accepts Bitcoin either at the pump or at the front counter. While I’ll be the first to say I don’t see it happening anytime soon in most countries (I’m well aware you can do it in parts of Europe, and that Bitcoin gas pumps have been devised, but I don’t see any around)–certainly not …read more

Infowars | Paul Joseph Watson
The Obama White House is giving ISIS a 45 minute warning before bombing their oil tankers by dropping leaflets advising potential jihadists to flee before air strikes in Syria.
“Get out of your trucks now, and run away from them. Warning: air strikes are coming. Oil trucks will be destroyed. Get away from your oil trucks immediately. Do not risk your life,” the leaflet reads.
The leaflet drops are justified under the premise that the oil tanker drivers might be civilians and not ISIS recruits, although it’s an explanation that doesn’t wash with critics.
“It’s not like these drivers …read more

The Virginia Reform Party has launched an effort to draft Jim Webb for President. See here. The web page is draftwebb2016.com.
The Reform Party is free to begin circulating a petition listing Webb as its presidential nominee, without the need for Webb to take any action at all. However, such petitions in Virginia can’t begin to circulate until January 4, 2016. Also Virginia permits stand-ins for candidates named on petitions, so the Reform Party of Virginia is also free to launch a petition that names a stand-in for both President and Vice-President. …read more

PGP. The great encryption technology. Well, more specifically, OpenPGP. This is an encryption technology that has quite the story behind it (really, it reads like some of the best spy thrillers you can imagine). And in the present, as well as likely going forward, it is still the encryption that is feared most by bad actors of all stripes (government organizations, etc.) because it is still so solid. An impressive fact on it’s own considering how long it has been around (going on 25 years).
There’s something to be said for using tried-and-true older technologies. Consider IRC. It’s still the single …read more

New York, NY — Last November, Mayor Bill De Blasio announced that police would no longer arrest people simply for possessing small amounts of marijuana. Naturally, this news was met with fear mongering by the police unions who claimed it would put cops in danger.
