Omar Mateen, the terrorist who killed over 50 people in a gay club in Orlando, Florida, earlier today, is now known to have called emergency services and pledged allegiance to ISIS before he committed the atrocity. As the New York Post reports, Omar Mateen had committed himself to ISIS before carrying out the bloodiest mass murder on US soil in history at a gay nightclub federal officials said, according to California Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat Congressman on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told CNN.
According to Washington Post, the ex-wife of the 29-year-old Afghan born shooter said he was violent and mentally unstable and beat her repeatedly while they were married. The ex-wife said she met Omar Mateen online about eight years ago and decided to move to Florida and marry him. At first, the marriage was normal, she said, but then he became abusive.
(UPDATE: After logging off last night we learned the Orlando attacker was in fact born in New York to Afghan parents - apologies for the error, our sources for breaking are 24 hour news feeds and it is difficult to verify details given in early reports of major news stories)
“He was not a stable person,” said the ex-wife, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety in the wake of the mass shooting. “He beat me. He would just come home and start beating me up because the laundry wasn’t finished or something like that.”
Mir Seddique, the Afghan father of Mateen, said it is intolerance of homosexuality, and not affiliations with ISIS or any other terror group fanatical supporters of Islam, that likely provoked the attack. "This has nothing to do with religion," he told NBC, stating that he was “in shock like the whole country.”
He went on to relate a “recent incident” that demonstrated his son’s attitudes. "We were in Downtown Miami, Bayside, people were playing music. And he saw two homosexuals kissing each other in front of his wife and kid and he got very angry. They were kissing each other and touching each other and he said, 'Look at that. In front of my son they are doing that.' And then we were in the men's bathroom and men were kissing each other."
It is difficult to say that any good can come of such and incident, but if this outrage serves as a warning to 'liberals' (particularly the pair in The White House who are obsessed with gay and transgender rights) that it is sheer folly for a nation apparently determined to elevate gays and lesbians to the status of an elite caste to be equally enthusiastic about importing followers of a religious group in which homosexuality is not tolerated.

'Leave' Takes Shocking 19-Point Lead In Brexit Poll
Now I'm not one to place a lot of confidence in opinion polls for many reasons, one of the main ones is that not only do the polling companies nor publish a figure for how many people responded don't know / don't care / eff off and don't call me again. That last category is the most significant one, thirty years ago, even twenty, people would fall over themselves to make their opinions known if given a chance. Now trust in the political system and the media has eroded to such an extent that pollsters often have to phone on average five people to get one willing respondent (source UK Polling Report)
But what the polls published over this weekend do tell us is that the REMAIN campaign had a terrible week.
The headlines go from bad to worse for the David Cameron, and the UK and EU political establishments as hot on the heels of two polls showing LEAVE opening a ten point lead this weekend the latest. by Opinium, shows "Brexit" leading by a remarkable 19 points (52% chose to leave the EU against 33% choosing to keep the status quo). This surge in "leave" probability comes despite an additional 1.5 million voters having registered this week (which many expected to increase "remain" support). Further anger towards EU was exposed when former cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith warned that seven new prisons will need to be built in the UK by 2030 to cope with the rising number of migrant criminals (presumably due to 'staying' in the EU).
The Express reports,
The political left have further antagonised working class voters with risible claims that supporters of REMAIN are more intelligent, liberal and open minded and Brexit supporters are knuckle dragging, racist, Xenophobic neanderthals. It is typical of the arrogance and stupidity that they believe such behaviour will win over their opponents.

The Express reports,
The Opinium Poll, commissioned by the Brexit-backing Bruges Group think tank, is further evidence that the Leave camp is gaining support and delivers the biggest margin of victory for Brexit so far, after giving voters the option of a choice of free trade agreements with the EU.Speaking last night Robert Oulds, director of the Bruges Group, said it was important to which allow trade with the European Economic Area.
It found 52 per cent chose to leave the EU, with only 33 per cent choosing to keep the status quo.
Despite there being less than two weeks before the crucial referendum, on June 23, a further 15 per cent said they still didn't know.
Of those who voted to leave the majority, 39 per cent, said that Britain should have some sort of Free Trade Agreement with the EU, similar to the one currently enjoyed between the US, Canada and Mexico.
"This new poll shows there are a majority of voters who prefer an economic rather than economic and political arrangement with the EU. These include people who might otherwise have voted to remain in the EU," he said.He's right and the REMAIN gang screwed up badly when they relied on smear and sneer tactics and the notorious Project Fear, with Europhiles making ridiculous claims about economic catastrophe, and even trying to tell people that Britons would not be allowed to visit EU countries for holidays.
“Clearly we can be free, have more democracy and be better off if we ditch or cancel our EU membership, and join a Free Trade Agreement like the one people thought they were voting for in 1975.”
The political left have further antagonised working class voters with risible claims that supporters of REMAIN are more intelligent, liberal and open minded and Brexit supporters are knuckle dragging, racist, Xenophobic neanderthals. It is typical of the arrogance and stupidity that they believe such behaviour will win over their opponents.

NSA Planning To Exploit 'Internet Of Things' Including Biomedical Devices
The post might appear from the headline to be aimed primarily as a US audience, but with US Government Surveillance now global and The Internet sliding its tentacles into domestic appliances, cars and even the plumbing in our houses it affects us all.

The Internet of Things in a Big Brother society (Image source: satiztpm)We learn via whistleblowers that the USA's The National Security Agency (NSA) is exploring the potential of the so called 'Internet Of Things' as a means of gathering data worldwide. One area of particular interest to the government snoopers is internet-connected bio - medical devices like pacemakers, according to the source
.
“We’re looking at it sort of theoretically from a research point of view right now,” Richard Ledgett, the NSA’s deputy director, said at a closed conference on military technology in Washington on June 10. Biomedical devices could provide nformation helpful to the NSA’s obsessive fascination with the idea of using 'big data to build computer models of group behaviour. This kind of thinking shows a failure to distinguish science fiction from reality, but that is a well know mental defect in many silicon valley idiot - savants, and paranoid control freakery is de rigeur for members of national security organisations.
“As my job is to penetrate other people’s networks, complexity is my friend,” he said. “The first time you update the software, you introduce vulnerabilities, or variables rather. It’s a good place to be in a penetration point of view.”
In choosing the most effective ways exploit different new devices, the NSA has to prioritize its resources, which are usually focused on the “bad guys’” tech of choice rather than popular gadgets in the U.S., Ledgett explained. This should have prompted the question, "Then why not focus on the bad guys rather than spying in everybody?" Perhaps nobody asked because they knew an answer would not be forthcoming.
When asked why the agency was looking at spying on ctizens through washing machines and TVs when they could not break the security on a terrorists iPhone Ledgett explained the NSA wasn’t able to help the FBI crack the iPhone of the San Bernardino shooter, because NSA had not yet invested in exploiting that particular model of phone. “We don’t do every phone, every variation of phone,” he said. “If we don’t have a bad guy who’s using it, we don’t do that.”
In other words, "We spy on everybody and hope our prsing of Big Data throws up something suspicious." In that case one would think one of the most popular cell phines in the world would be a priority. but then it has often been said that Military Intelligence is a contradiction in terms.

When asked if the entire scope of the Internet of Things — billions of interconnected devices — would be “a security nightmare or a signals intelligence bonanza,” he replied, “Both.”
