What is your opinion about alien disclosure? Do you think Obama will be the disclosure President, as lobbyist Stephen Bassett claims? If Obama were to reveal the truth about unexplained aerial phenomenon for the first time in history, do you think that he would deserve a second Noble Peace Prize, despite all the destructive work he has done around the world over the course of his second term as President?
The day is coming when a single carrot, freshly observed, will set off a revolution.

A quite interesting topic but no, he will never get a noble prize for finding out about aliens, and he will never due to his presidency. (sorry your question was all over the place, so I tried to answer to the best of my ability)

Together now, DOOM!

Obama has ordered a review of election email hackings. Of the DNC, of course

Obama’s directive to his intelligence agencies to conduct a full review and report to him before he leaves office on Jan. 20 could serve to fuel more questions about the integrity of the election"
If you weren't previously aware of how Obama has conducted such investigations in the past, Obama has a tendency to first interpret and then summarize the reports before speaking about them and releasing his interpretations.


1. Why do you think Obama would want such a review to be reported to him? He is leaving office, after all.
2. Do you think that this is worth delving into? Why or why not?
3. Do you think the leaked emails had a significant effect on the vote turnout? On the DNC's image?
4. On what points do you think Obama will emphasize when the review comes out? (Meaning stuff like foreign interference, the effect and its magnitude, and perhaps how something or other helped propel the Democrats opponent to office.)

The NDAA 2017...... tracking foreign propaganda. Passed.
There is a lot in this. So I'm just going to resort to pasting some of the key points of interest in the bill.

SEC. 1287. GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT CENTER.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 180 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, in coordination
with the Secretary of Defense and the heads of other relevant
Federal departments and agencies, shall establish within the
Department of State a Global Engagement Center (in this sec-
tion referred to as the ‘‘Center’’).
(2) PURPOSE.—The purpose of the Center shall be to lead,
synchronize, and coordinate efforts of the Federal Government
to recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and
non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at un-
dermining United States national security interests.


(b) FUNCTIONS.—The Center shall carry out the following func-
tions:
(10) Maintain, collect, use, and disseminate records (as
such term is defined in section 552a(a)(4) of title 5, United
States Code)
for research and data analysis of foreign state and
non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts and commu-
nications related to public diplomacy efforts intended for for-
eign audiences. Such research and data analysis shall be rea-
sonably tailored to meet the purposes of this paragraph and
shall be carried out with due regard for privacy and civil lib-
erties guidance and oversight.

the term “record” means any item, collection, or grouping of information about an individual that is maintained by an agency, including, but not limited to, his education, financial transactions, medical history, and criminal or employment history and that contains his name, or the identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual, such as a finger or voice print or a photograph;
(tracking the said 'misinformation' to the source.... who is the judge of this information? :?: )


(The amount of money they can use to pay of private companies)

(e) TRANSFER OF AMOUNTS AUTHORIZED.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—If amounts authorized to be appropriated
or otherwise made available to carry out the functions of the
Center—
(A) for fiscal year 2017 are less than $80,000,000, the
Secretary of Defense is authorized to transfer, from
amounts authorized to be appropriated by this Act for the
Department of Defense for fiscal year 2017, to the Secretary
of State an amount, not to exceed $60,000,000, to be avail-
able to carry out the functions of the Center for fiscal year
2017; and
(B) for fiscal year 2018 are less than $80,000,000, the
Secretary of Defense is authorized to transfer, from
amounts authorized to be appropriated by this Act for the
Department of Defense for fiscal year 2018, to the Secretary
of State an amount, not to exceed $60,000,000, to be avail-
able to carry out the functions of the Center for fiscal year
2018.

(Who they pay off and what they have them do.)

(f) INFORMATION ACCESS FUND.—
(1) AUTHORITY FOR GRANTS.—The Center is authorized to
provide grants or contracts of financial support to civil society
groups, media content providers, nongovernmental organiza-
tions, federally funded research and development centers, pri-
vate companies, or academic institutions for the following pur-
poses:
(A) To support local independent media who are best
placed to refute foreign disinformation and manipulation
in their own communities.
(B) To collect and store examples in print, online, and
social media, disinformation, misinformation, and propa-
ganda directed at the United States and its allies and part-
ners.
(C) To analyze and report on tactics, techniques, and
procedures of foreign information warfare with respect to
disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda.
(D) To support efforts by the Center to counter efforts
by foreign entities to use disinformation, misinformation,
and propaganda to influence the policies and social and po-
litical stability of the United States and United States al-
lies and partner nations.

(Very different from what they stated it was for in the beginning! Other than policies, none of those have anything to do with national security!)
So this bill essentially will have the government be able to pay off private companies to censor people and give that information to the government to be, well, who knows? Studied, patterned, researched? Then the information will be disseminated to the appropriate departments ( most likely not the public...) The Center is for foreign propaganda, but nothing in this bill actually prevents this from happening to content originating from the U.S.A.
This is a severe blow to the First Amendment, no doubt.


My questions
1. Does this concern you overly much?
2. Do you in any way support the coming of this bill?
3. Do you find this hard to believe?*

*why I stated a bunch of legislation.

The quickest and easiest one is the ironically named, "challenge," campaign. :lol:

I would love to do more quick campaigns, I have some cool ideas of my own. :)

Lol, I don't think adding too many easy quick maps as a gem grabbing opportunity is a very good idea. You can try Revelution, It goes from HUGE amount of enemies to a smaller one, but it climbs again until you have save the yellow people, (forgot their names sorry).

I hate big map with so many units (It is Galaer i already reach there), i just don't really like long game like that so i pass them. I will play some not 3-stars campaign. And why not make 4 Vs 1 (Player) challenge? It will be sure interesting.
