The Bush Resident in thief DID steal the election

So the General Accounting Office in the US has published it's report into the 2004 US election.

As the report clearly shows, the result is in grave doubt, or rather, the way the result was calculated looks like the ES&S and Diebold election machines did steal the election for Bush.

The Future of Motoring?

PAY as you go :)

A backdoor way for government to track you? Norwich Union insure 1 in 7 UK Motorists. They have been trailing a system of insurance known a s pay as you go. this means that a 'black box' is installed in a vehicle and this communicates with a satellite. Communicating your location, time, and speed. This information shall be used to 'personalise' your insurance product. If you drive at times of day that have more accidents, you will pay more per mile than if you drive at 'safer' times of day. If you are speeding and are involved in an accident, presumably, your insurance would no longer be valid. Even if you were unaware of the speed at the moment of impact.

The government has also been investigating the option of taxing road users in this way too. For busy congested roads, you pay more tax per mile than clearer roads. This raises many questions however, for example,
1. How would you know what specifically you are having to pay per mile and when? the road you are on suddenly becomes congested (due to an accident nearby diverting traffic) will you suddenly find your tax fee going from 5p per mile to £1.50? Or you are driving down a road that routinely cost 5p per mile, but 2 accidents the previos week on that stretch puts the price of that road up to £1.00? How would you know?
2 Who else would be able to get access to the information?

3Do you feel comfortable with the idea of the Government or a Private Corporation knowing everywhere you drive?

The Big Brother connotations are obvious, but the financial implications are dire too. You will never know exactly how much you are being charged for driving on any particular stretch of road. Will the insurance fee go up if it is raining, or snowing or foggy? will the cheaper insurance during the day create congestion that the Government will charge more tax for?

So basically it is soon getting to the point where I will not drive anywhere any more. I think I shall do without my car and get the bus or walk.

I have nothing to hide, and to me, that is EXACTLY the point!

It's not totalitarianism, nothing to worry about

Tony McNulty, (Home office Minister) has the unfortunate task of defending totalitarianism, (sorry, protecting UK Citizens) and the introduction of the ID Card and it's inherent problems. IE not being able to detect bald people, or brown eyed people or guitar players (being all af these, I know I'm screwed already)

I am sorry I said totalitarianism, because we live in free democracy. I know this is true because according to McNulty:

"We are not knocking down doors at four in the morning with people booted and suited in riot gear. Most of the removals occur around half-five, half-six, seven in the morning."

Phew, I am so fucking relieved!!! . I am so glad he cleared that one up, We live in free democracy because our detainees are carted off to be detained without trial, later in the morning than detainees in genuine fascist states. I feel safer already.

No that is not a joke, he REALLY said it. And with a straight face too.

And I thought that a government bending and enacting century old laws to suppress dissent, legitimate protest and creating all new laws to detain individuals without trial, place them indefinately under house arrest and criminalise people for their beliefs (support for legitimate and internationally recognised and UN authorised freedom fighters) was the preserve of totalitarian, police states or fascist states. Obviously not; for we have the 'time in the morning of removal test' :D WooHoo good us , we are STILL the good guys.

Speaking of ID cards, be aware of how much of a Ball Ache they will be to get one of these infernal Items? and YES THEY WILL BE COMPULSARY!!! Even under Current government plans, they aim to start the VOLUNTARY introduction in 2007 and have them become compulsary in 2013.

You will have to pay AT LEAST £30.00, but be sure that you are on benefits or a pension first and you do not want it to be a passport. If not the cost will be AT LEAST £97.00

Then be prepared to travel to a registration center to be fingerprinted (all fingers and thumbs) have both retinas scanned and have your photograph taken. All at your expense.

If you are a family of 5, that's over £700.oo for the day including travel and food. (If you live any distance from the registration office)

another version of this list here

Can you confidently provide all this info? or is this an administrative nightmare for you?
How will you provide the information for section (9) and (30) above? this could include and not be limited to:

Information about numbers allocated to you for identification purposes and about the documents to which they relate; (driving licence, passport, National insurance numbercard, birth certificate, marriage licence number, NHS Number, military ID cards, Bank account numbers, old bank account numbers, credit card accounts, telephone account number, Councils tax account number, store loyalty cards, club membership numbers, Insurance certificate numbers, vehicle registration documents, etc...(These numbers indentify you to these different organisations, do they not?))

At the time of writing the Government has tabled an ammendment to allow the home Secretary to be able to demand any other information including 'sensitive personal data' (eg medical records and criminal records and financial data) to be held in the National Identity Register.

The implication being that at any time, purely at the Home Secretary's (or any future Home Secretary) discretion, he or she can demand that any person, or group of people be forced to provide any data he/she demands. Failure to provide the information will result in criminal proceedings.

Are you worried yet?

But of course, it's not a big brother database and it's not totalitarianism, so nothing to worry about!

Would the Government use your inability to provide specific information as a reason to prosecute you? Certainly. But how about this, would the government use this law on ID cards to persecute you?

Well, let's consider how the labour party have already used old laws in a manner in which they were never intended to be used:

From this article:

Had Mr Wolfgang (Walter Wolfgang - the 82-year-old ejected from the Labour conference for shouting "Nonsense!" during Jack Straw's speech) said "nonsense" twice during the foreign secretary's speech, the police could have charged him under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. Harassment, the act says, "must involve conduct on at least two occasions ... conduct includes speech". Parliament was told that its purpose was to protect women from stalkers, but the first people to be arrested were three peaceful protesters. Since then it has been used by the arms manufacturer EDO to keep demonstrators away from its factory gates, and by Kent police to arrest a woman who sent an executive at a drugs company two polite emails, begging him not to test his products on animals. In 2001 the peace campaigners Lindis Percy and Anni Rainbow were prosecuted for causing "harassment, alarm or distress" to American servicemen at the Menwith Hill military intelligence base in Yorkshire, by standing at the gate holding the Stars and Stripes and a placard reading "George W Bush? Oh dear!" In Hull a protester was arrested under the act for "staring at a building".

AND

The police are also rediscovering the benefits of some of our more venerable instruments. On September 10, Keith Richardson, one of the six students convicted of aggravated trespass on Friday, had his stall in Lancaster city centre confiscated under the 1824 Vagrancy Act. "Every Person wandering abroad and endeavouring by the Exposure of Wounds and Deformities to obtain or gather Alms ... shall be deemed a Rogue and Vagabond... " The act was intended to prevent the veterans of the Napoleonic wars from begging, but the police decided that pictures of the wounds on this man's anti-vivisection leaflets put him on the wrong side of the law. In two recent cases, protesters have been arrested under the 1361 Justices of the Peace Act. So much for Mr Blair's 21st century methods.

This blair Government want to defend FREEDOM (their freedom to intimidate, persecute and subjucate) and uphold their way of life. Blair's way of life being lying us into a war, murdering tens of thousands of innocent women, children and the elderly for his and his cronies personal gain and for to advance a fanatical fundementalistic religious war, launched by the most dangerous religious fundemantalist of all, GW Bush!!! As he said, GOD told him to!

Funny that whenever a normal criminal, that may have only killed one or a few people uses the 'GOD told me to' defence, he is either sectioned under the mental health act or the defence is thrown out and they are imprisoned normally,

But when tens of thousands are killed, it's just a good christian standing up fer merka in the woronterra!!!

But of course it's not totalitarianism, so nothing to worry about.

Where are the labour back benchers? Blair is an apoligist for an extremist rightwing religious fundementalist? I can understand the right wing Tory Liam Fox supporting Bush's illegal war of conquest, But a left of centre Blair? and by implication, the WHOLE Labour party that supports this bill.

What has the ID card got to do with Iraq?

Well, bear with me on this. The ID card, (as demonstrated by the above list of details to be stored and the addition to this list of any extra data the home secretary sees fit, like medical, criminal and financial data), shall be used to track everything you do.

Why do they need to track everybody? they claim it is because the world changed on September eleventh. and the rules of the game have changed since 7/7/05. SO we need to protect ourselves against dangerous people.

Yet they have used the anti terror laws against people who have (legitimately) protested against the government.

Walter Wolfgang - the 82-year-old ejected from the Labour conference for shouting "Nonsense!" during Jack Straw's speech was detained under the terrorism act, for critisicing the governement. that has set a precedent.

But Blairs lot only want to stop 07/07/05 from happening again?
ok looky here: ID cards wouldn't have stopped bombs, UK minister says
or here: London Bombings Mastermind is MI6 Asset
or here: Al-Qaeda cleric exposed as an MI5 double agent

So the governement will aim to track every body, all the time (including whilst you travel) and build a risk profile of every citizen. It will be used to track everything you do:

Neil Fisher, from QinetiQ - one of the companies developing the new technology, said the public would want to be able to prove their identity to show they were not a risk.

He told the BBC's 10 O'Clock News: "You will want this to be part of your life."

"You will want, in what's fast becoming a digital society, to be able to authenticate your identity almost for any transaction that you do, be it going to the bank, going to the shops, going to the airport."

And you will need it to access all Government services too:

What happens if you order an antiwar book online?or attend antiwar rallies? or verbalise your dissent? if you are a critic of government policy, you are liaible (from established precedent) to be held under the terrorism act.

The ID card will make it easier for the govenment to track it's critics and build evidence of their terrorist tendencies so they can hold them indefinately or just detain them in the run up to elections, say the three months prior to an election so as to (a) create the fear of terrorism with many high profile detentions, and (b) prevent their critics from voting?

The unfortunate thing in all this is that it is in any way plausable. If we truly lived in a free democracy, NONE of this would be even remotely plausable.

But don't worry, Tony McNulty says we are free and under his freedom test, we clearly are.

Be whatever you wanna be :D

It really doesn't take long to get into doing something new. I never thought of myself as a writer, now I do. It's REALLY easy too. To become a writer all you have to do is write every day!!! It doesn't matter what you write, nobody is going to read most of it anyway, but so long as you write everyday, THAT is what is important.

A good tip!!! Write for the bin. Instead of trying to get every phrase and sentence and paragraph to be prize winning literature. write as if you are going to throw it out anyway. Then just get your ideas down on paper, or on the screen. That way, you are writing. You WILL find that most of what you write will be pretty good anyway. Then you just go through the work you have done and search out the 'pearls'.

With this technique you will be a writer.

That said; you can be anything you want to be. If you want to be it? JUST GO DO IT!

I am now a systems engineer, project manager, web-developer, writer, video producer, director and life coach and I am the best person I have ever been in my LIFE!

You HAVE a great life too. It's just a choice, after all.

I had a growing experience last night (ooooeeeer missus)

Well, today is truly an end of an era! My clean driving licence is no more. 17 years of endorsement free motoring has come to an inglorious end! I got nicked for speeding last night. So, why am I not depressed?

I learned an important lesson. I was caught, and will take the punishment and I am happy to take responsibility. I have no-one else to blame, no excuses. The reason I was driving so fast is simple. I was driving a long way, late at night and wanted to get home quickly. Simple as that. No excuses, it was my fault, I was wrong. So I have learned and grown from the experience. and THAT is the important part.

My book has come on in leaps and bounds in the last week. I have tentatively called it, "Why have you not evolved yet?" it is a guide to spiritual (not religious) enhancement and personal development. and personal growth. Believe me, the information in this book works! BIG TIME!!! It is magical and get this. It also contains the meaning of life itself!

So it should be available to buy online shortly and the URL will be displayed here :)

Must go, I have a purpose to fulfill :) I Love you all and please, if you only do one thing, make sure you get PASSIONATE about what you love.

Fascism by proxy

OK so there was compromise over the terrorism bill Aptly named as it allows the state to terrorise the population. Tony blinked first and agreed to the 'sunset clause by another name'. Or so we are to believe. We are also supposed to believe that we need this legislation because (according to Blair) The intelligence and security services want it.

This is the exact same line that Tony used to get support for an invasion of Iraq. "We don't want to do this, but Saddam is forcing us to, the security services said so!"

What utter utter lies! The security services are NOT asking for this legislation. they have said that legislation is for parliament to decide.

So bLIAR IS LYING AGAIN!!!! HOW MANY LIES DO YOU EXPECT IS TO BELIEVE TONY? HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK WE ARE???

I still have a problem with the standard of proof. The government can now ask a judge to detain anybody they wish, under house arrest, without charge or trial, based on zero direct evidence, supposition and suspicion are all that is required. The fact that a judge has to approve makes little difference. After all it was judges that twice exonerated Tony Blair of any wrong doing over Iraq Intelligence or Dr. David Kelly, in the face of overwhelming evidence. This is fascist control by proxy.

OK, Tony Bliar was not personally responsible for the murder of Dr David Kelly, however he is responsible for the the foriegn policy of the UK and the policy towards Iraq and the twisted half truths and the blatant lies that lead to the situation arising in which Dr David Kelly was murdered.

Are we to believe that the home office cannot find a sympathetic judge? If Blair (or whomever may be pulling his strings) wanted a genuine political opponent out of the way, the rule of law and natural justice will be sacrificed, for political expediency.

I don't care whether a Judge, a politician, or Mother Theresa's ghost was to make the call for house arrest. That call should be made (a) on genuine evidence that a crime has been commited, (b) that evidence must be placed before a jury. Neither will happen now.

We currently have a crime of assisting in, or organising a terrorist attack. (that is not the correct legal terminology, but it's close enough) If the intelligence services or the police believe that a suspect has been involved in organising terrorist attacks, try them in a court under that law. This law is there to prevent people form commiting the terrorist attack in the first place.

Note, It is rarely ever the case that international terrorists turn out to be who we are lead to believe they are. They are usually the intelligence operatives or 'special ops' of some Government's security service operating 'with plausable deniability'. These intelligence services do not only gather intelligence, but perform 'psy-ops' and 'wet-ops' and other buzz-words so beloved of the playstation generation. Watch the History Channel to see where we have been lied to in the past. Where psy-ops lead to revolutions and and military coups to oust democratic leaders and install pro-corporate puppets. Will we have to wait to watch the History Channel in 25 years to see how we have been lied to now? To see who really were terrorists and who were government operatives manipulating the people through a fake war on terror?

With the introduction of this immoral, repulsive and unjust bill into law and with the imposition of the trackable ID card with it's turbo charged big brother on steroids database. It is unlikely that we will be able to access that information in 25 years time. At least not without being considered a threat to the state and therfore being 'disapeared'.

That’s me, a marine, a murderer of civilians’

Reproduced to show the flag waving Pro-Bush/Bliar traitors to the US and UK what they are REALLY supporting in Iraq. The brutal, evil, and deliberate murder of civilians.

‘That’s me, a marine, a murderer of civilians’

Italian reporter shot by US military writes for newspaper that tells raw truth about US role in Iraq

by Tom Whitney

On March 4, in Baghdad, U.S. soldiers shot the Italian reporter Giuliana Sgrena, who had just been released by hostage-takers. She believes the soldiers shot to kill, and they succeeded in killing Italian Secret Service official Nicola Calipara, who had secured her release from hostage takers and who was with her.

Witnesses accompanying the pair, who also were wounded, told reporters March 5 that, contrary to U.S. allegations, the car in which the four persons were riding was not speeding and that it had already stopped at several checkpoints on its way to the airport.

Il Manifesto (www.ilmanifesto.it), the paper Giuliana Sgrena works for, is described as a “communist paper.” The titles of Sgrena’s recent articles for Il Manifesto, including “Ten thousand Iraqis in US and British prisons” (Dec. 29, 2004); “Two thousand victims in Fallujah” (Nov. 26, 2004); “Napalm raid on Fallujah?” (Nov. 23, 2004); “The death throes of Fallujah” (Nov. 13, 2004); “Stop the massacre” (Nov. 12, 2004); and “Interview with Iraqi Women tortured at Abu Graib,” show that neither she nor the paper pulls any punches when it comes to criticism of U.S. policy and conduct.

The following interview of U.S. Marine Jimmy Massey by Patrizio Lombroso of Il Manifesto appeared the day before Giuliana Sgrena was released and shot. It’s an interview not calculated to win love and friendship in official Washington circles.

‘Yo, un marine asesino de civiles’ (‘That’s me, a marine, a murderer of civilians’)

“I’ve seen the horror that we were causing every day in Iraq. I have been part of it. We are all just murderers.

“We kill innocent Iraqi civilians all the time. That’s the way it is. I believe they need to withdraw all foreign military troops in Iraq right away. And I say this about other soldiers: to avoid punishment or reprisals by the military, they don’t want to talk and admit that killing terrorists is not our mission. It’s to kill innocent civilians.”

That’s the way the Il Manifesto interview with Jimmy Massey went. He’s from the little town of Waynesville, North Carolina. He has decided to draw back the veil of silence from the “noble mission” in Iraq. Discharged from the Marine Corps for medical reasons, he has written a diary, “Cowboys from Hell,” which will be published at the end of the summer.

“What was your rank in Iraq?”

“I was a sergeant with the Third Marine Battalion during the invasion, in the spring of 2003.”

“How much time did you spend there?”

“From March 22 to the 15th of May. Four months of hell. They had to send me back to the U.S. because of a ‘stress syndrome.’ This is the term in military jargon they use to say that because of the horrors I’ve seen in the war, I’ve lost my mind.”

“Were you in the Marines many years?”

“Twelve.”

“Had you fought in a war before?”

“Never.”

“You are now a member of the group Iraq Veterans Against the War?”

“Yes, I went to Iraq initially with the idea that weapons of mass destruction had to be eliminated. But soon my experience as a Marine made me understand that the reality was something quite different. We were ‘cowboy murderers.’ We killed innocent civilians.”

“You admit having killed innocent civilians?”

“Sure, and lots of them.”

“How did it happen?”

“Near my base in the south of Baghdad, our whole platoon attacked a group of civilians engaged in a peaceful demonstration. Why? Because we heard gunshots. It was a blood bath. The pretense that those civilians were engaged in ‘terrorist activities’ didn’t work for me. That’s what our military intelligence wanted us to believe.

“We killed more than 30 people. That was the first time that I had to face up to the horror that my hands were soiled with the blood of civilians. We laid down cluster bombs on them. The people fled, and when they arrived at the control points we had set up with armed convoys, I was supposed to shoot the ones that looked like they belonged to ‘terrorist groups.’ Those were the directions military intelligence gave us.”

“And that’s what you all did?”

“We ended up massacring innocent civilians – men, women, and children. When our platoon took over a radio station, we went ahead and put out propaganda to the population urging them to go on with their daily routine, keep the schools open, etc. But we knew that our orders were to ‘search and destroy.’ That meant carrying out armed assaults on schools, in hospitals, anywhere that ‘terrorists’ could hide. In reality these were traps set up by military intelligence. We ourselves were supposed to overlook the taking of civilian lives that were part of these missions.”

“You admit that during your mission you carried out executions on innocent civilians?”

“Yes, my platoon also opened fire on civilians and I too killed innocents. I too am an assassin.”

“How did you react after these operations when you thought about the innocents you had killed?”

“For a while I kept on going. In my own mind I denied the reality of me being a murderer and not a soldier who somehow could tell the difference between who is right and who is wrong. Then, one day I woke up and there was a young kid inside my head.

“Miraculously, he had saved himself from a massacre of passengers in his car. He was shouting at me and asking: ‘Why did you kill my brother.’ He became an obsession. I physically lost control of my equilibrium and couldn’t move or talk. I stayed in one place and looked all the time at the wall. I was really scared, and lost.”

“What measures did your superiors take?”

“For three weeks in Iraq, they filled me with anti depressives and psychotropic drugs. That’s the emergency treatment for these cases of ‘traumatic stress,’ when the idea of refusing to kill takes over a soldier’s life.”

“Didn’t their training in the United States put them at the disposal of the Pentagon into units that were really violent and aggressive?”

“Yes, in the part called ‘boot camp’ each one of us is subjected to techniques of ‘dehumanization’ and ‘desensitization to violence.’ But they never told me that this meant killing innocent civilians.”

“So, three weeks with antidepressants in Iraq – and after that?”

“They didn’t know what to do and sent me back. Now I am out of the military, incapacitated and disabled, with an honorable discharge.”

“Are there others in conditions like yours?”

“Many. And they are still at the front. They stuff them with anti-depressants, and after that they go back and are sent into combat again. It’s a problem that has become quite worrisome for them. One must not say anything about it there in the military.

“In 2004, 31 marines took their own lives, and 85 made suicide attempts. Most of those who wanted to die rather than keep on killing are less than 25 years old, and 16 percent of them are under 20 years.”

This interview with Jimmy Massey appeared March 3 in Il Manifesto. The next day, it was carried on the Spanish website, www.rebelion.org, and is translated here by Tom Whitney from the Spanish. Email Whitney at atwhit@megalink.net.

Well Tony, which is it?

I hope people also, however, do not disrespect those of us who came to the view then and hold the view now that, with the history of Saddam, and with what he did not just to his own country but to the wider world, that we are safer and more secure without him in office.

Tony Blair Press conference with the Italian Prime Minister [13/07/04]

OR

My Government recognises that we live in a time of global uncertainty with an increased threat from international terrorism and organised crime.

Queen's Speech [23/11/04]

You cannot have it both ways. Either we are safer or we are not. It's simple boolean logic.

Tony would have us congratulate him for making us safer and at the same time have us willingly give up 800 years of human rights so that he can save us from unprecedented threats.

So, if we are safer, why do we have to give up our civil liberties and face the risk of political pursecution?

If we are not safer, Why not? Has Tony risked the lives of his electorate by lying to invade a broken, harmless nation that never EVER attacked us?

It is one or the other and Tony has made a complete balls up of it either way.

The Blair Witch Project

Excellent opinion peice from the Times

It's frightening, what they’re doing to us . . .
Martin Samuel
More than anything, the Prime Minister wants us to be very scared. Hence the Blair Witch Project
ONE WORD sums up the Government’s attitude to civil liberties and its proposed anti-terrorism Bill.

Boo.

Alternatively: wwwwooooooooooo. Boys and girls, we have returned to the world of bogeymen, monsters under the bed and things that go bump in the night. We cannot see them, but we know they are there. Some call Britain a nanny state; but nanny always told you there was no such thing as ghosts. Now nanny says there are. Nanny says there are hundreds. Nanny says: “Don’t look behind you.” Nanny says: “Did you hear that? ” Nanny says: “Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.”

The Prevention of Terrorism Bill, or the Blair Witch Project as it should be called, is motivated by fear. For it to become palatable, you must be scared. After all, the Government is scared. But what you fear and what it fears are very different. You fear a repeat of the atrocity in Madrid; it fears a repeat of the election in Madrid. You fear the bomb; it fears the blame.

Tony Blair’s biggest fear is that he is not as clever as he is made out to be: that he took his eye off the ball. If he thinks we are so vulnerable that the only way to ensure our freedom is by surrendering it, he also knows he has the bottom-line responsibility for this farrago. He wants us scared of them because he is scared of us. Mostly, he is scared of carrying the can, of the British public waking up to a War on Terror that has been diluted, mismanaged and misdirected almost from day one.

The Blair Witch Project is an insurance policy. He has a department devoted to blame-avoidance and the timing of this Bill has their handwriting all over it. “We did all we could. We made them stay home. They couldn’t even use the internet. Not our fault, you see. Not our fault . . .” We have wasted our energy fighting an enemy that posed no immediate threat in Iraq while allowing a potentially real menace within our borders to proliferate. Our police squandered resources on ring-fenced speed cameras, spurious mission statements and phoney slogans when vital detective work was paramount. A doom-laden article by Sir John Stevens, the former head of Scotland Yard, has provoked widespread alarm, but the most illuminating passage describes events immediately after 9/11.

“I remember the shock on the faces of Mr Blair and his Cabinet as experts from Scotland Yard’s Anti-Terrorism Branch, MI5 and MI6 gave their first briefing on the size of the home-grown threat. I shared that horror. As more intelligence flooded in after the invasion of Afghanistan ... the grimmer those reports became and the more dismayed Mr Blair was.”

There was only one thing for it. Invade a country that had nothing to do with it, on information that would ensure nobody ever trusted the security forces again. At that moment, the strategy for the War on Terror went so awry that this Government is now attempting to abandon a basic human freedom to cover those tracks. Willing workers assist it. Sir John Stevens says there are 200 al-Qaeda terrorists loose in Britain. Well, were you in charge of a major crime prevention agency while this army of psychopaths was growing? No, me neither. But Sir John was. His successor as the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Ian Blair, is spending £300,000 renovating his office, having been in the job a month. No doubt on his retirement he will also treat us to terrifying revelations about the terrorist threat in London which he would definitely have got to grips with were it not for dry rot in the wainscoting. Step away from the Miró and do your job, Sir Ian. There is nothing to see here.

True story: post-9/11, a policeman passed on a tip to me. He said there was a café in East London that displayed recruiting posters for Islamic terrorist groups. He wondered if the newspaper would be interested. Challenged on why the police were not acting, he said they had been told to stay low-key for fear of upsetting the local community. Sir John Stevens would have been in overall charge back then. Funny how things work out. Now Sir John says opponents of the Blair Witch Project do not understand the horror of the terrorism we face. But we do, and we did. That is why, as the police declared war on school-run mums, mouthy footballers and people eating apples at traffic lights, Tony Blair’s “society of fear” begged for proper protection from violence of all kinds. That is why when the war in Iraq started before the hunt for Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda ringleaders had been successfully completed, many questioned its logic and motives.

What is truly criminal is the lie that the only way the people can now be properly protected is to heave freedom on the bonfire. The proposed legislation is so extreme that those merely believing in vigorous policing, thorough investigation, quick trial and harsh sentences are the bleeding hearts. Yet why are we panicked like this? For house arrest read blame avoidance, pure and simple. If Britain is under great terrorist threat — a claim entirely unproven, yet very convenient in the circumstances, much like Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction — somebody has messed up.

The Blair Witch Project is Tony’s way of saying: “Well, it wasn’t me.” Right now, far from being a structured law brought in to address the threat of al-Qaeda and its fellow travellers, Blair is not even sure how it will operate. He will not rule out using it to deal with those protesting against the G8 summit in Gleneagles, for instance, a worrying development even for staunch supporters. All we can say for certain is that the Blair Witch Project will serve its purpose. Tough on blame, tough on the causes of blame.

We have killed millions of Iraqis and tens of thousands of our troops.

Below I have have shamelessly copied an article from Rense.com Written by Bob Nichols. This is not my work, but I reproduce it here to expand it's reach. Albeit by the extra 10 or 11 people I get reading this blog. (Wow you are a member of a tiny and extremely exclusive group.) I say that we have killed so many because our use of the deadly depleted Uranium will directly lead to the deaths of millions of people.

Perhaps the elite are going to use faked threats to get away with using this deadly weapon to kill millions of people. Add this to the threats we have had of a major pandemic of bird flu? notably, naturally occuring bird flu is not transmissable from human to human. However, the non naturally occuring strain cultivated by the US may well be transmissable this way.

When you add up all the ways that we are being killed in our millions (DU, Aspartame and other chemical poisoning, man made diseases etc) you may be forgiven for thinking that the Georgia guidestones are a literal warning.

What Does 'Mildly Radioactive' Mean, Anyway?
By Bob Nichols
Project Censored Award Winner
2-21-5

"I believe in the end that ... you will comprehend that the amount of DU [Depleted Uranium] released into the atmosphere since 1991 is far more than my estimate. Whatever you or I think or differ about, the disaster is worse than we even know ... but that tale will be told each year, each decade, each century. Humanity has changed the genome of the entire planet forever." - Leuren Moret


(Oklahoma, Red State, "Land of the Free") -- The Russians just recently stopped a weightlifter coming across the border with about 100 pounds of "highly radioactive depleted uranium." The guy said he was using it for dumbbells in weightlifting.

The American Department of Defense and other government departments all are unanimous in calling so-called depleted uranium "mildly radioactive depleted uranium." They like to use it for bombs, shells and heavy caliber bullets.

Highly radioactive, mildly radioactive, moderately radioactive.
What does it mean? Whom to believe?
The godless former Commies or the brave Iraq-smashing Americans?

Decide for yourself.

Radioactivity is a standard property of the metal uranium, used by Americans for bombs, shells and bullets, and one gram will always give off 12,000 "atomic disintegrations" per second.

This lasts forever, as far as we are concerned. Think of the "atomic diserntegrations" as little atomic bullets. The kind that are only harmful from inside the human body. What do you think? Does 12,000 per second rank high or low with you? What if it is in your lung?

Delicate lung cells of 19 year old American troopers and 60-year-old Iraqi "guerrillas" don't have the ability to "spin" what is turning them into infection, pus and cancer.

Just so you know, that is 43 million, 200 thousand little bullets per hour. This nuclear bombardment at the heart of a cell in the lung or the rest of the body never stops. Of course, the "throwaway soldiers" will get cancer and die; but, the chicken-hawk Neo-Cons in the Bush Administration say that is OK! They just don't want to pay for it.

Remember the 100-hour-long First Gulf War? Only an unlucky few were killed. We Americans used 375 tons of uranium munitions. Out of the one half million, or so, soldiers in the prime of life in the war, 11,000 are now dead. and hundreds of thousands are on Medical Disability.

The latest good journalist to "Drink the Government Kool-Aid" was Bob Evans of the Daily Press in Virginia. Evans used the deceptive Government term "mildly radioactive" over and over, in his recent seven-part series on uranium weapons in use by the US Military. In his effort to be fair, Evans, a respected veteran journalist, never used the forbidden words "illegal" or "war crimes." The Daily Press readership includes a large segment of "retired military."

Since uranium is a metal that also catches on fire and burns, the bombs, shells and bullets burn and vaporize when they hit something hard like a tank, bunker, or building. Uranium gas and smoke ends up in the nose, throat and lungs of our kids and friends in the US Military and any unlucky Iraqi around. Some of the gas also hitches a ride on the desert winds to the rest of the world, including the American ally, Israel.

This is a real bummer for the American Troopers and the Iraqis. Uranium by the thousands of tons has been dispersed this way in Iraq during Gulf War I, the No-Fly Zones era, Gulf War II, the war after the war, and to this very day. Once the uranium gas and dust is in their lungs and bodies the soldiers and civilians become radiation poisoning victims and are forever changed.

There is no way to remove the uranium smoke from the body. It is radioactive. There is no treatment; there is no cure. This stuff stays dangerous, lethal even, forever and a day. After all, it is highly radioact ... err, ... pardon me, "mildly radioactive," ... err ... whatever!

Our victimized soldiers don't have forever, though. With the same absolute certainty of the Atomic Clock the US Government uses to tell time, the constant ticking of the "atomic disintegrations" (little bullets) starts the countdown to death from radiation poisoning for the soldiers and civilians alike. It's just a matter of the dose of lethal poison they received. A greater dose equals less time.

It gets worse. Captain Terry Riordon unknowingly brought radiation poisoning home with him from Iraq to his wife, Susan Riordon. As recounted in the November, 2004 issue of the mainstream Conde Nast publication Vanity Fair, Mrs. Riordon was constantly burned by her husband's semen during intercourse.

Seems Terry's semen was turned to a fiery alkali by the radioactive uranium that settled in his testicles. The happily married couple had no idea what this new and horrifying complication was in this intensely private part of their life together. Little did they know the American Department of Defense had hopped into bed with them with a deadly intent.

With her husband slowly dying of radiation poisoning and in intense pain herself, Mrs. Riordon resorted to filling condoms with frozen green peas to use on herself to obtain relief from the internal burning's intense, excruciating, lasting pain. Other couples do that and other wildly frantic and imaginative measures seeking relief. The burning can leave blisters and contamination.

"It hurt [Terry] too. He said it was like forcing it through barbed wire," Riordon says. "It seemed to burn through condoms; if he got any on his thighs or his testicles, he was in hell." In a last, desperate attempt to save their sex life, says Riordon, "I used to fill condoms with frozen peas and insert them [after sex] with a lubricant." That, she says, made her pain just about bearable. Perhaps inevitably, he became impotent. "And that was like our last little intimacy gone."

Children produced from radioactive soldier's couplings have devastating birth defects; both to war's children born in the United States and in Iraq. After all, uranium gas is just a dumb radioactive metal; it does not care one whit about the nationality of the body parts it targets.

In Iraq, women call the doomed pregnancies the "jelly belly." The world simply calls it "Genocide." That's the purposeful targeting of a race or ethnic group of people for extermination. That's our red blooded, By Gawd, All American Policy. Exterminate them! That is one answer to the question Americans are always indignantly asking "Why do they hate us so? Haven't we set them free!?!"

Bob Evans, in his series, even inadvertently let a Classified Specification out of the bag. The 140,000 pound Abrams Main Battle Tank, a primary dispenser of radioactive, poisonous uranium gas and dust in Iraq, fires its big gun at a spectacular 2,100 MPH or three times the speed of sound (MACH III.)

The three foot long solid uranium projectiles then vaporize and burn at temperatures ranging from an estimated 3,000 to 10,000 degrees as they penetrate their target. Mr. Evans, guru-like, informs us the temperature is 5,600 degrees.

What is the difference in "highly radioactive in Russia or "mildly radioactive" in Virginia? Is it the same metal? Yes, it is. Are both metals radioactive? Yes! Whether they are in Russia or the United States, yes, they are: at 12,000 little bullets per second, anywhere in the known universe! Uranium is our own perverse absolute value.

Well, this is kind of a bummer for all US citizens. President Bush and the US Military have gone and screwed the pooch. Turns out that using uranium for weapons is, like, kind of a "Big Time" War Crime. Not only is it a War Crime, it is a War Crime four different ways, according to famous UN War Crimes and humanitarian lawyer Karen Parker, JD.

Parker stated "My 'four-point' test is especially intelligible: people understand. "It spreads" (beyond the field of battle); "it lasts" (can't be turned off when the war ends); "it injures people in impermissible ways" (as in making an as yet unborn child deformed); and "it harms the environment".

Ever since we Americans obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan with nuclear weapons in August of 1945, immediately killing an estimated quarter of a million people, the rest of the world has taken a really dim view of actually using nuclear weapons.

Uranium bombs, shells and bullets are just different forms of slow-acting, stealth nuclear weapons. They are slower than the instant big boom and flash of Nagasaki type Nuclear Weapons - the atom bomb and hydrogen bomb. They are the answer to the Administration's dedicated Crusade for the Holy Grail of a "usable" nuclear weapon.

Time has telescoped from 1945 instantly -- past to present; World War II is just over, and we used nuclear weapons on civilians. Now we are using the next generation of nuclear weapons on the hapless guerrillas and civilians of Iraq. They never had a chance. Not a prayer.

Uranium weapons spread deadly radioactivity that kills and contaminates forever. Iraq is simply "toast" because of the indiscriminate, promiscuous and criminal use of millions of pounds of uranium weapons by our kids and friends in the US Military, at the command of their political masters. The masters and troopers are war criminals, and we, the U.S. taxpayers, are accessories to war crimes.

US Military Out of Control - Defies Law

So, what to do? It's all right there, in US Army Regulations, according to Maj. Doug Rokke, Ph.D. Ret., the former Director of the Pentagon Depleted Uranium Project. U.S. Army Regulations AR 700-48 and TB 9-1300-278 require the Army to "Clean and Treat." The Army is required by US law to treat all persons affected and all areas contaminated by the radioactive uranium munitions. There are no ifs, ands, or buts.

The self-claimed right to use war crime weapons carries the with it big responsibility to clean up after oneself. Refusing to clean up and treat is purposeful genocide. It is that simple. We are guilty as sin.

Dennie Williams' breakthrough CommonDreams.org article of November 11, 2004 sets the record straight on the US Military's view of using and cleaning up after illegal uranium munitions. "The Department of Defense 'does not clean up DU [depleted uranium weapons] once it leaves a U.S. weapons system such as a Bradley Fighting Vehicle and hits an enemy building, or vehicle', said Melissa Bohan, an Army public affairs official."

The "suits" in the Pentagon can't be anymore clear than that. They absolutely refuse to treat the people poisoned, including their own troopers, and refuse to clean up the poisoned radioactive land. The US Military did the same thing in Vietnam with the chemical Agent Orange, which was denied and covered up for decades. As one Vietnam War medic says "Uranium weapons are like Agent Orange on steriods."

Therefore, the situation is this: the political leadership of the U.S. decided to secretly use thousands of tons of a genocidal weapon, uranium, in Iraq. Their servants in the US Military are gung-ho to irradiate the Iraqis and poison their land, forever, with illegal uranium-based war crimes weapons. The Army refuses to obey their own Regulations, that have the force of law, to Clean & Treat, in their slavish obedience to the sub-human, sick, perverted genocidal desires of their politically appointed controllers.


What's wrong with this picture?

This is real Nazi Germany stuff, isn't it? Closer to home, it is very similar to Andrew Jackson's policy of exterminating Native Americans. Citizens here in the U.S. may not want to know or accept that fact, but that is the sleight-of-hand dealt to us mere citizens in America in 2005 by our corporate-owned and sponsored politicians and media.

Denying a fact situation does not make it disappear. The facts, and the thousands of tons of weaponized uranium oxide gas and dust, just hang in there. This is impossible for supposedly patriotic "My Country Right or Wrong - Love It or Leave It" type Americans to explain away.

Uranium is as real as it gets, and it never goes away. As long as there are congenitally deformed Iraqis left in the world, and until the Iraqis are finally exterminated by these long-lived genocidal weapons, they will continue to whisper and croak in whatever voice left to them: "America Exterminated Me, Punish Them!" and demand justice.

Americans of all political stripes should be enraged to hear of what our US Military has done to Iraq. It is not OK, and they should feel betrayed by the Bush Administration, perhaps especially the center-right Americans responsible for twice electing Bush. (And the results of Both elections are still disputed.)

It was real Americans some 60 years ago "The Greatest Generation," as network news reader Tom Brokaw called them, in his book of the same name, who with the Russians, Free French, British and others stomped the fascist war makers in Germany and their Axis ally Japan in World War II.

Now the "World's Only Superpower's" American Army has taken the place of Hitler's Storm Troopers in ruling the modern world. It is supremely ironic that their own uranium weapons kill them as well as the "enemy" civilians, as they set out to control. These unthinking soldiers will ultimately destroy the world, and that seems to be the desired outcome of Administration's cult like "Rapture Me" Christofascist radical religious tradition.

In the famous Nuremburg War Crimes Trials, established after World War II to try Nazi War Criminals and assess their guilt and punishment, the Chief Prosecutor said of the German people something that applies directly to Americans today. He speaks knowingly and directly across more than 50 years of time to resolutely instruct American citizens on exactly what our duty is today, right now:

"Individuals have international duties which transcend the national obligations of obediencetherefore have the duty to violate domestic laws to prevent crimes against peace and humanity from occurring."

- Nuremberg Tribunal, 1950

The statement was affirmed by the Nuremberg Tribunal. It is now international law and by extension, U.S. law. It is our duty as American citizens. The fascist government controlling the United States and the US Military can no longer be allowed to exist. The world and international law holds us all accountable, and the price is dear.

These white-collar criminals must all be impeached and imprisoned for their war crimes, commensurate with their degree of complicity and guilt. If the House will not impeach and the Senate will not put them on trial, then, we have a problem.

We will have to do it ourselves. Additionally, we have to vote out the co-conspirators in the Senate and the House for refusing to impeach. That is the law, handed down in 1950 after a disastrous world-wide war. We Americans must follow the law. It is our sacred duty. As President Bush likes to say "they [the House and Senate] are either for us or against us."

Can we wait till tomorrow, next week, or, next year to impeach?

In a word, "No!"

Leuren Moret, world famous former Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab scientist, said the following in an Email on Valentine's Day, 2005, requesting hundreds of physicists, scientists, professionals, managers, writers and others to join in the world-wide effort to stop the current flagrant use of illegal uranium weapons:

"I believe in the end that ... you will comprehend that the amount of DU [Depleted Uranium] released into the atmosphere since 1991 is far more than my estimate. Whatever you or I think or differ about, the disaster is worse than we even know ... but that tale will be told each year, each decade, each century. Humanity has changed the genome of the entire planet forever."

"How can you help us present the disaster in a way that ordinary people can comprehend? Infant mortality is increasing globally for the first time in 41 years..."

"This planet is being turned into a death star," Moret added.

The time to act is now. The Bush Administration controls the big media on this issue. They do not control you. Tell your friends and email this article everywhere. As U.S. citizens, as human beings, we know what we should do, and we know that we cannot afford to wait any longer.

What do you think you know about Saddam?

the following is an article by Eric Margolis in the Toronto sun. The original article entitled 'west has bloodied hands' is located here.

As I have said before, Saddam is an evil man and should be tried for his crimes against humanity in a fair and just court. So too should his accomplises, Bush Snr, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and others. Please read this article and LEARN something.

I reproduce the article here, because I believe it to be important enough to be shared and I cannot guarentee it staying on their server.

West has bloodied hands
By Eric Margolis -- Contributing Foreign Editor

Who was the first high government official to authorize use of mustard gas against rebellious Kurdish tribesmen in Iraq?

If your answer was Saddam Hussein's cousin, the notorious "Chemical Ali" -- aka Ali Hassan al-Majid -- you're wrong.

The correct answer: Sainted Winston Churchill. As colonial secretary and secretary for war and air, he authorized the RAF in the 1920s to routinely use mustard gas against rebellious Kurdish tribesmen in Iraq and against Pashtun tribes on British India's northwest frontier.

Iraq's U.S.-installed regime has just announced al-Majid, one of Saddam's most brutal henchmen, will stand trial next week for war crimes.

Al-Majid is accused of ordering the 1988 gassing of Kurds at Halabja that killed over 5,000 civilians. He led the bloody suppression of Iraq's Shias, killing tens of thousands. These were the same Shias whom former U.S. president George Bush called to rebel against Saddam's regime, then sat back and did nothing while they were crushed.

The Halabja atrocity remains murky. The CIA's former Iraq desk chief claims Kurds who died at Halabja were killed by cyanide gas, not nerve gas, as is generally believed.

At the time, Iraq and Iran were locked in the ferocious last battles of their eight-year war. Halabja was caught between the two armies that were exchanging salvos of regular and chemical munitions. Only Iran had cyanide gas. If the CIA official is correct, the Kurds were accidentally killed by Iran, not Iraq.

But it's also possible al-Majid ordered an attack. Kurds in that region had rebelled against Iraq and opened the way for invading Iranian forces.

What's the difference between the U.S. destroying the rebellious Iraqi city of Fallujah and Saddam destroying rebellious Halabja? What difference does it make if you're killed by poison gas, artillery or 2,000-pound bombs?

"Chemical Ali" was a brute of the worst kind in a regime filled with sadists. I personally experienced the terror of Saddam's sinister regime over 25 years, culminating in threats to hang me as a spy.

Saddam Hussein and his entourage should face justice. But not in political show trials just before U.S.-"guided" Iraqi elections nor in Iraqi kangaroo courts. They should be sent to the UN's war crimes tribunal in The Hague, where Saddam should be charged with the greatest crime he committed -- the invasion of Iran, which caused one million casualties.

Britain, the U.S., Kuwait and Saudi Arabia convinced Iraq to invade Iran, then covertly supplied Saddam with money, arms, intelligence, and advisers. Meanwhile, Israel secretly supplied Iran with $5 billion US in American arms and spare parts while publicly denouncing Iran for terrorism.

Up to their ears

Who supplied "Chemical Ali" with his mustard and nerve gas? Why, the West, of course. In late 1990, I discovered four British technicians in Baghdad who told me they had been "seconded" to Iraq by Britain's ministry of defence and MI6 intelligence to make chemical and biological weapons, including anthrax, Q-fever and plague, at a secret laboratory at Salman Pak.

The Reagan administration and Thatcher government were up to their ears in backing Iraq's aggression, apparently with the intention to overthrow Iran's Islamic government and seize its oil. Italy, Germany, France, South Africa, Belgium, Yugoslavia, Brazil, Chile and the USSR all aided Saddam's war effort against Iran, which was even more a victim of naked aggression than was Kuwait in 1991.

I'd argue senior officials of those nations that abetted Saddam's aggression against Iran and supplied him with chemicals and gas should also stand trial with Ali and Saddam.

What an irony it is to see U.S. forces in Iraq now behaving with much the same punitive ferocity as Saddam's army and police -- bombing rebellious cities, arresting thousands, terrorizing innocent civilians, torturing captives and sending in tanks to crush resistance.

In other words, Saddamism without Saddam. A decade ago, this column predicted that when the U.S. finally overthrew Saddam, it would need to find a new Saddam.

Finally, let's not forget that when Saddam's regime committed many of its worst atrocities against rebellious Kurds and Shiites, it was still a close ally of Washington and London. The West paid for and supplied Saddam's bullets, tanks, gas and germs. He was our regional SOB.

Our hands are very far from clean.
------------------------------------------------

I cannot fault a single word. Facts, Truth reality. Not quite so black and white as Bush and his neo-con hordes would have you believe. Britain's and America's leaderships are up to there necks in war crimes. From both during the Saddam era and in the way that the Saddam era was brought to an end, our leaders hands are stained with the blood of illegally executed innocents. Why should Saddam be the only one to face any kind of justice?

OK, this is getting sicker by the day

I used to be very tolerant and sympathetic to ordinary Americans. I personally know several Americans and they are awake and, sort of, thinking, rational human beings. However, lately I have been getting more and more frutrated, hence the open letter below.

Now it is just getting sick. The US military, that bastion of freedom and democracy, upholder and defender of global human rights and dignity and liberator of the oppressed. The US miltary, after destroying fallujah, killing countless thousands and planning to turn it into an electronic prison camp, hasn't done enough damage it seems. They are now dropping 2000lb bombs and cluster bombs.

It seems I missed another meeting, I dunno, but my notification of these meetings must be screwed somewhere. I recall that the Yanks were saying in mid November that they will have the city of Fallujah pacified within a week. When did they withdraw and let the 'insurgent terrorists' back in? Or, no, they couldn't possibly be ....Lying ? or is it the case that, Tony Blair made a political decision to bring the Black watch troops home? ignoring strategic needs on the ground, therefore lying in the commons again. (he promised not to make political decisions on troop deployment), the Americans cannot handle the insurgents on their own? could it? The american troops are, after all, uncommonly stupid. Well that's what happens when you recruited your cannon fodder from the stupidest and poorest parts of society.

I don't know, but the name of the black watch has been blackened badly by becoming accessories to war crimes.

1000 and 2000lb bombs, Cluster bombs, anti personnel bombs, depleted uranium rounds, nalpalm, phosphorous grenades and poison gas have been used in a civillian location that was systematically and deliberately robbed of fresh water, food and medical aid. I cannot think of any act that Saddam did that can be its equal.

Yet the dumb yanks keep-a-cheerin' and a hollering for their war-criminal, president-coward-thief religious fundementalist psycho.

I am still waiting for any american to be able to explain to me how it is OK for their troops to commit war crimes? And how this is somehow better for the Iraqis? or how it is even just, given that:

Iraq never attacked America.
Iraq was never likely to attack America.
US/UK Intelligence services knew Iraq was not a threat.
Secret offices in Washington / London created false information about Iraq's WMD.
Iraq had no ties to AL Queda (a western created and funded organisation).
Iraq had nothing to do with September 11th.
Iraqis were hoping for freedom and liberty and have been robbed of their assets, sold into multinationalist slavery, given starvation, disease, mutilation and death.

Gee it's nice to know we are the good guys,

" woooooohar, let that tank roll over another sand nigger camel fucker, he had it a comin' anyhow, that's fer 9 1 1 you ragheaded muji you."

When will they ever learn?

The ID Card myth.

People should read more Government documents. I have and it's quite revealing. I have read the Identity Cards Bill Rgulatory Impact Assesment (a .pdf document) This is quite illuminating.

First of all, I would like to go on record and say clearly that there are some genuine benefits to the ID card scheme. If it can be implemented without errors and in time and to cost and if the hardware, software and personnel inputting the data work faultlessly and once fully in place and wholy established, It would dramatically reduce ID theft and repeat immigration through multiple ID's and cut down on organised crime through abolishing multiple IDs.

The Problem is, it would have to be fully implemented and according to this document, that means card readers EVERYWHERE!

What does this mean?

• Every transaction monitored, logged and stored in the National Identity Register.


• Your whole existence will be watched and rated by persons unknown.


• This IS a big brother database on steriods

For those wanting to see the benefits of this scheme, they will not be apparent for some time because, as the document makes clear, there is no complusion on anyone to carry the card yet, or for anyone to scan the card yet. So you will still have to carry many other forms of ID (passports, driving license, credit cards, utility bills etc) when you wnt to open an account anywhere. All the other benefits of this scheme are nonsense and cannot be realised until the scheme is fully in place.

The government has admitted a 'catch 22' situation here. The ID card scheme will not be a big brother scheme untill fully implemented, but will not have the benefits of the ID scheme either. The crime will not be lessened, because there is no complulsion in the ID card bill. So you won't get the benefits of the ID card until it is a big brother scheme.

But then it will be too late.

Not only will the Government be able to monitor and extinguish organised crime and multiple entry immigration, it will also be able to identify and extinguish any dissent from the population.

Democracy will be dead, there will be no freedom to object other than what freedoms are granted at the whim of Government.

Am I Being Fair?

Of course I am giving the Government too much credit here. It is big business that wants the control, big business that has no interest in competition, or rules. Big multinational business that requires a monopoly and total control.

It is Big Business through the banking system that finances unacknowledged special access programs in the internation intelligence and security services. These people will be exempt from having to have a 'genuine' identity, these are the people that run the largest drug and prostitute organisations and therefore are behind organised crime.

What? Don't believe me? Fine, explain to me how the Taliban destroyed 95% of Afghanistan's opium and heroin production, then the US/UK invaded and took control of the areas that had poppy production stopped and now those areas are producing more heroin than ever??? War on drugs? or war on competition in the illegal drugs empires? Freelancers beware.

So the organised crime that is NOT commited by intelligence services will be destroyed by the ID card scheme, but Organised crime will flourish.

CIA/MI6/MOSSAD/ISI etc. Terrorism will flourish, not smaller scale animal rights acts of terror, but the really big international terrorism of the scale that makes Governments take notice and change course.

This scheme is designed from the outset to abolish the competition from small time criminals to international organised crime, and suppress domestic dissent.

It is, in short, a fascists charter!

What is wrong with the ID card?

*NB This is an open email I have sent to a radio presenter named Polly Garside after I was woken with her opinions as to the greatness of ID cards.

UPDATE*** Polly Garside has radically altered her views since recieving this and many other emails detailng the dangers of a compulsary ID card scheme, linked with diabolical legislation to allow the government lock up anybody without charge or trial for an indefinate period of time.*



Hello Polly,

Please pass this email to your other presenters too.

I always wake up to your show in the morning and normally really enjoy it. However today I was literally horrified by your comments regarding compulsary bio-metric ID cards. Please let me explain why. I am sorry that the explanation is long, but I
have only just scratched the surface.

OK for those who truly and honestly don't understand what is wrong with the compulsary ID card scheme I shall endeaver to outline it's merits and then clearly
demonstrate the real dangers in it's implementation.

The benefits:

It will eliminate credit card fraud. Well it will cut credit card and debit card fraud. The only way to do this is to produce your ID card at every transaction..
This means that every shop, every travel outlet, everyticket outlet everywhere will have to have a bio-metric ID scanner. You will enter your card into the reader and have an eye or a thumb print scan at the same time. This will mean that you and only you will be able to make the transaction. Hey Ho no more credit card fraud. Wooohoo! But in theory only.

You said it would stop underage drinking? It would stop underage people getting served in pubs.

The bad news is it won't stop an older brother/friend buying alchohol for younger people, or stop kids raiding their parents supplies.

The real bad news is, every shop, travelagent, ticket office, box office, pub, club, etc, will have to have a card reader and scanning device.

The Problems of this : The infrastructure is going to cost a fortune and our taxes will have to go up to pay for it. Currently the government are proposing that it
will cost about 3 Billion pounds. Based on previous, large scale infromation technology projects, This Government has not had any success whatsoever in
establishing these projects to time or to budget. I would estimate that the eventual cost would be more like 9-12 Billion pounds. In addition, it will be
buggy, insecure and fail a lot at the start.

The really, really bad part is this, When you make any transaction, your credit/debit card will be swiped, followed by your ID card and this transaction will be
verified with a bio-metric scan. What happens then? The details of this transaction will be stored in a Government database. Why? So that the Government can
protect us from those evil terrorists. How? Well, the Government will be tracking the transactions carried out in the UK and querying these transactions against
risk metrics to build risk profiles. Certain products, books, videos, dvds, website memberships, club memberships organisations, groups, etc, will be
monitored. Purchasing tickets to certain locations or to see certain speakers give lectures will also be monitored.

These transactions will be risk assessed, and a risk profile of you will be created. Any purchases you make, that the Government defines as risky, will raise
your threat risk level. The Government will be looking for purchases that indicate behaviour that may define a threat. That behaviour could be defined as potential
terrorism, potential serious organised crime, or potential political dissidency.

Do you trust the government with your private data? you may not mind them knowing what you buy at the supermarket, but what about those private purchases,
like sex toys, gambling debts, private club memberships. website memberships. How do you know how your personal data will be stored, used, rated or verified? Will it be kept safe? Will the database be hack proof? If you trust the technology, you may as
well publicly publish your full credtit card information on the internet right now!

The future threat to everyone's liberty:

The Home Secretary has already stated that he would like to be able to track terrorists and arrest them before they commit a crime. The ID card is the tool
that will be used to do that.

So you have a situation whereby your transactions are tracked, a profile is created and a threat assessment is built up. Your entitlements will be based on this,
benefits healthcare and pensions will not be available to you unless you have an ID card. If you have an ID card your threat to the national security of the UK
will be assessed and qualified.

Are you a terrorist?

At this point we need to define what a terrorist is. You will not think that you are one, but how do you know? You do not get to define what a terrorist is,
the Government does. What is worse is that future Governments get to ammend and add any definition they like. Is there a single, clear definition of a terrorist?

The Government of the UK has not clearly done this, but the main player in the war on terror has. Thanks to the USAPATRIOT act, passed unread by congress.The USAPATRIOT Act, which stands for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terroism, was passed hastily and unread by Congress on Oct. 25, 2001 right after the 9-11 tragedy. It is mislabeled as the
USA Patriot Act.

This American draconian legislation has, in Section 802, a definition of domestic terrorism which defines a terrorist act as: "Any action that endangers human life that is a violation of any federal or state law." Pretty vague that.

This law allows the US government to: Search American homes or offices without the owners knowledge. Monitor their internet use, read their e-mail and examine their online purchases. Wiretap their telephone without a court order. Detain them without access to a lawyer and without charging them with a crime. Monitor their political and religious activities. The UK Government has similar legislation planned. It is
called The Civil Contingencies Bill.

The Civil Contingencies Bill allows for the suspension of elections and the restriction on travel and communication. All it takes is for the Government to
declare a state of emergency. What would cause this State of Emergency? A vague reference to terrorist activity is but one instance.

That's a pretty vague definition and it is The governement that creates law. So if a future Government wished to introduce a law you disagreed with, don't think about protesting against it. Your risk rating will increase. Once the ID entitlement card is in place, the Government will then have the power, should it choose to use it, to prevent you from purchasing things or accessing any Government services. It can prevent you from travelling or communicating with anybody. You will have completely
lost all say as to how you spend your own money. Of course it won't be your money. When the cashless society arrives, you will only be able to make purchases on debit or credit cards. so the money that changes hands will be the banks money.

Does this sound anything remotely like freedom to you?

So you will be tracked and if it seems likely that you may intend to commit a crime that risks the life of another person you could be taken and held without charge or trial indefinately. If you disagree with government policy, you may be held as a potential terrorist. If you travel to the wrong place, buy the wrong books, your risk level increases and you are flagged as a potential threat to the Powers That Be.
You will find your entitlements shrinking until one day, You may just disappear.

Sounds like a good definition of a fascist state to me.

You may think, this cannot happen here, we are a democracy, I trust our Government.

Well, remember Hitler was democratically elected too. His minions burned down the Reischtag, which he then blamed on the communists and declared a state of emergency and brought in the enabling act. Always for the protection of the Fatherland. Slowly over time he introduced more and more powers that reduced individual freedom and liberty. The Germans didn't realise what was going on until it was too late. They
were mislead by anti-terrorist propaganda and told that in order to defend Germany, Poland must be invaded to defeat the Communists and to defeat the foreign threat. The rest is history.

When at school we were tought about the great war, the destruction of Germany and the rise of the third reich, We were also told of words that have stuck with me to this day.:

"All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"

What would you do if you were in 1930's Germany now? If you knew Hitler was to come to power, what would you do? Are we not faced with a similar possible threat now. The ID card, and the ID chip that will replace it, are the strongest tools in the totalitarian toolkit.

If you trust our Government, then fine. That is your democratic right, but what about a future Government? would you trust Michael Howard with this power? Or any future leader? The power to suspend elections, detain anybody on the suspicion of the intent to commit crime, and the ID card with which to track them.

Remember this is a Government supported by the opposition that deliberately lied to invade a country that was no threat, an invasion that has cost more lives than were taken by the tyrant Saddam Hussien. Innocent women and children have been literally blown to bits, maimed, disfigured and slaughtered. With a Government with such scant regard for human life, even a child's life, how can we trust them to tell the truth on ID cards? or respect our privacy? Who will protect us from their tyranny?

Why do we need it?

Tony Blair has repeatedly before during and after the invasion of Iraq claimed that the invasion will make, us safer.

"We and the world are safer without Saddam Hussein!" he said. Yet in the Queen's speech, "My Government recognises that we live in a time of global uncertainty with an increased threat from international terrorism and organised crime."

Eh? So now we have an "Increased Threat"? Isn't this Tony blair admitting failure in the waronterra and so we have to pay for his immoral policies with reduced liberty?

Once the ID card and the tracking technology is in place, we lose control of what is done with it. The Civil Contingencies Bill, allows the Government carte-blanche to prevent you from exorsising your democratic rights to remove them from office, the
other proposed laws will allow that Government to detain you without proof, evidence, trial or charge.

With laws of this kind seriously being proposed, do you really think the Government is trying to use these laws to protect us from terrorists, or are they going to be used to protect the Government from the people?

Once these tools are in place, we loose the chance to prevent them from being abused. It will be too late.

The ID card does NOT mean tyranny or dictatorship will follow, but once the tracking and entitlement technology is in place, linked with the new laws to track and detain potential threats, then we will then have lost the ability to prevent fascism from taking over.

The totalitarian toolkit will be in place to make it possible for a future leader to take our country into a technologically advanced version of Nazi Germany.

It's too great a price to pay to stop youngsters drinking in pubs.

I cannot think of any other benefit.

It will not stop terrorism.
It will not prevent assylum seekers, but legitimise them.
It will not prevent ID theft, but in the initial stages, make it easier.

As David Blunkett said, "Of course people will produce false ID's to get an ID card, but then they will be stuck with this false ID for life"

What a fantastic way for dangerous criminals to get a whole new clean slate identity all at once.

No! this is too dangerous a measure.

Are we good people or are we going to do nothing?

Each person must decide for themselves.

I say NO to compulsary trackable biometric ID cards!

Fallujah war crimes.

Ok, Now that the US (supported by Bush puppy) are commiting wholesale slaughter in Fallujah, bombing clinics, and stopping food, water and medicines from getting to civillians, let's review WHY we went into Iraq in the first place. and check for what parts of those reasons still stand up to scrutiny.

1. Saddam had and was re-building his WMD stocks,
[NO HE DIDN'T, WASN'T BUT THE US IS].
2. Saddam killed thousands of his own people.
[YUP, BUT NOW SO HAVE THE AMERICANS, IN FACT AT A FASTER RATE THAN SADDAM COULD DO IT TOO]
3. Saddam used poisonous gas and illegal weapons on his own people
[The US have used radioactive depleted uranium and napalm on Iraqi civillians]
3.1 Saddam used poison gas on his own people.
[ONE WORD...... WACO!!! WOMEN & CHILDREN GASSED WITH A GAS THAT'S ILLEGAL TO USE IN WARTIME]
4. Saddam had relationships with Alqueda.
[NO HE DIDN'T, BUT BUSH HAS ESTABLISHED BUSINESS INTERESTS AND INTELLIGENCE TIES WITH THE BIN LADEN FAMILY AND BUSH SNR HELPED ESTABLISH BIN LADEN IN AFGHANISTAN]
5. The US are bringing stability and democracy to Iraq.
[NOPE, THEY HAVE BROUGHT CIVIL DISASTER AND FAMINE IN FALLUJAH AND EVERYWHERE ELSE THE US GOES IN IRAQ. AND DEMOCRACY? DONT MAKE ME LAUGH. BUSH HAS NEVER BEEN DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED. HE HAS STOLEN 2 ELECTIONS AND IS A COURT APPOINTED RELIGIOUS FUNDEMENTALIST FASCIST FUCKWIT DESERTING COWARD THIEF WITH AN INFERIORITY COMPLEX MIXED WITH MESSIANIC TENDANCIES ATTRIBUTING TO HIS MEGLOMANIACAL OUTBURTS AND PARANOID DELUSIONAL PSYCHOTIC EPISODES]

Are the WAR CRIMINAL bush cabal developing their illegal, immoral and evil foreign policy by looking in a mirror?

IMPEACH THE BASTARDS!!!

OK so the data is in, now we know the president didn't win the election, but he had it handed to him by the electronic voting machines - NOT the voters.

Kerry Has not lost this election yet, The electoral colleges in Ohio and Florida should give thier votes to Kerry, there is plenty of evidence that there was vote fraud in Ohio and Florida. I am not endorsing John 'the NWO bitch' Kerry, but the will of the people should be respected.

So to all those who did not vote for Bush, I am sorry for you. There is ample evidence that the electiona was stolen by the Bush Cabal, aided and abettet by the Skull and Bones Brother Kerry. He quit way to easily, and before the mainstream media had to examine the inconsistancies in the polls and the votes.

The republican candidates in several areas all got 18181 votes. From VOXFUX:

TEXAS REPUBLICANS DANNY SCHEEL, CARTER CASTEEL and JEFF WENTWORTH ALL RECIEVED EXACTLY THE SAME NUMBER OF VOTES - 18,181............TIME TO WAKE UP........... THE CHANCES OF ALL THREE GETTING THE EXACT SAME NUMBER OF VOTES IS ON THE ORDER OF MILLIONS TO ONE - YET THE CORPORATE MEDIA REFUSES TO REPORT THIS FACT.......... BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE..............TURNS OUT THAT MICHIGAN REPUBLICAN CANDICE MILLER BEAT HER DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT - SHE GOT 18,181 VOTES.....HMMMMM.....AND REPUBLICAN MICHAEL SMIGIEL FROM MARYLAND BEAT HIS CHALLENGER - CAN YOU GUESS HOW MANY VOTES HE GOT? YOU GUESSED IT - 18,181

The exit polls in districts with an audit trail were accurate to 1% - 0.1%
The exit polls in districts with electronically counted votes and no paper trail all were out by on average 5%

The results in those districts all swung to the president but not in the districts with an auditable paper trail.

What are the odds of only the paperless districts being wrong? multiply those by the odds that all those that are wrong all go to Bush? When Diebold chief promised on the record that he would help Bush get re-elected.

That is more than mere chance.

The election was stolen. The USA is STILL lead by an unelected religious fundamentalist dipshit and a neo-con cabal who create policy based on paranoid-delusional fantasy and a meglomanic massianic psychosis.

It is time to impeach and seek justice for the tens of thousands of innocents killed by the effects of neo-con lies.

The power of nightmares

Al queda was invented by America. Bin Laden was a rich, but powerless leader of a rag-tag bunch of no-hopers and is probably already dead. There is more chance of being injured or killed by ants, than by Al queda terrorists. Not one court case has found anyone guilty, of being a member of or planning or committing terror on behalf of Al Queda, based on verifiable facts. The military in Afghanistan searched all the caves and found empty caves or odd stacks of old, kalashnikovs or AK47's. Al queda was nowhere to be found. because they never existed. Bin Laden merely funded odd terrorist groups and freedom fighters fighting their own tyrannies.

It is a long established Straussian tactic to manufacture fake threats to manipulate others. The fiction surrounding 911 and Al Queda are the greatest lies ever told (next to the banking scam) and those liars that told them have stolen democracy from the American people. They have given you tyranny, oppression and slavery.

It took Hitler many years from the reichstag fire to the culmination of his evil to become apparent. from 1933 to 1939, he was lauded as a strong, charismatic and honorable leader throughout Europe and the world. Even so it took him six years to become a recognised tyrant. America has had three, so far. How much worse can it get in the next four?

I shouldn't compare Bush to Hitler as there are several major differences:

• Hitler was democratically elected, whereas Bush cannot verify that he ever was.


• Hitler saw active military duty in wartime, Bush chickened out and fled, during wartime, going AWOL and becoming a deserter.


• Hitler (part funded by Bush money) built a nation from rubble into a might global power. Whereas Bush is taking a great nation and through debt and deception, running it aground


• Hitler was intelligent

What if the wider public realise this and realise the depths of the lies and the real powerlessness of their leaders? They only have power if you grant them it! They have no more visions of great futures and no power to carry them out and in order to stay feasting at their trough's they must frighten their populations' into submission.

When the realisation that you do not need them to protect you from the outside threat, because that threat is a lie, you will also realise that they have no real power either. Only the power of illusion, without falsehood, illusion is nothing.

They are building the defences of America, not against the evil global network of terrorists, Al Queda, but against the American people. Why? Because they know, that once they are rumbled stealing and raping your nation, the mass outrage will likely foment another revolution. Why do you think Bliar is so close to Bush? Bush represents the British aristocracy and their attempt to steal back the USA. This plan has long roots, from Cecil Rhodes through the Round table groups, the Royal Institute on international affairs, to the CFR, Trilateral comission, Bilderbergers, the highest rites of Masonry, and many other Lucifarian organisations, to your resident in thief.

Your 'common touch cowboy Bush' is a British imperial spy and thief. Your country is being plundered and the rednecks are a hollerin' anda cheerin' him on!! "We love Bush, he's sounds as dumb as us wooooohooooo"

A member of the global elite sounding like a common cowboy? German spies in the 1940's sounded like the english. It's how spies and sabatuers always act, like their victims, it's their job.

Bush a commoner? How many cowboys or ranch-hands do you know that also went to Yale and were initiated into the skull and bones and have shared interests and bank account at Coutts Bank with the Queen of England?

The global elite are lying to you to steal your Country and enslave you. Why? The British lost overt control of the American colony when King George went mad due to arsenic poisoning, and so have had to attempt to maintain control covertly through freemasonry. The underlying aim ever since has been to win back the prized colony for the British. The British are close to acheiving this. They are using lies and deceit to terrorise the American free spirit into submission.



The Al queda comminique's come from Islamic groups in London. The hooked handed islamic extremist, Abu Hamza, wanted by the Americans has been arrested by the British, because he is a British agent and the British do not want him falling into the hands of the American courts and revealing the deception which is all part of the grand delusion.

The emperor has no clothes. They piss on our boots and tell us it's raining. the frightening part is how many people reach for umbrella's.

Wise up! Wake up! and Shake up. Before it truly is too late.

BTW, we are still trying to impeach bLiar.

Later.

if you have to lie to justify war,
The war ain't just!

Blog Number 2 (more to come ...)

Powell's case for war?

There seems to me to be a slight problem with what
Powell actually said, or rather, what he didn't say.

If The USA has such wonderful spy technology that it
can listen in on people 'deceiving' the inspectors by
removing forbidden weapons technology FROM a place
that is about to be inspected. How come they never
EVER hear where that stuff is moved to? (to send
inspectors there?)

Mohamad: "you gotta move the stuff."
Almed: "OK I gotta move the stuff."
Mohamad: "yup, get it moved."
Almed: "OK, will do matey skip."
Mohamad: "Good."
Almed: "OK."
Almed: " . . . . . . . . . ."
Almed: "Um,. . . . where to?"

Come on, like the intelligence services wouldn't know?
Also the satelite images of a place that turns out to
be a legal and legitimate missile factory. They got
pictures of them moving things on truck from there.

Sam: "We have seen them moving missile parts out of
that building, ahead of the inspection."
Bob: "Coool, they must be in material breach woo hoo!"
Sam: "Yeah, they loaded up the trucks and drove them
out."
Bob: "OK, where to?"
Sam: "Um ....."

Does this only strech MY credulity here? or is there
more to this?

I wondered about the authenticity of the recordings as
I listened to them. After all, the dialogue seemed
almost too perfect. It was almost as if they KNEW they
were being listened to and yet still gave EXACTLY the
information required to land themselves in the dung.

"They are coming, you should move the 'MODIFIED'vehicle."
"OK I will move the 'MODIFIED' vehicle."
all that was missing was one of them saying "nudge nudge wink wink."

If they were real and didn't know they were being
listened to, they would have said something like,
"The inspectors are coming, move the van",

If they knew they were being listened to they probably
would have used code like,
"They inspected Bahgdad."
"Gotcha"

This gave me a few initial doubts about the
authenticity of the intelligence to start with.

Well, it then transpires that a part of Powell's
'intelligence' come from up-to-the-minute information
gathered from the UK, from Tony Blair, from MI6
presumably. Only, it doesn't, does it? No. It was
information 'stolen' from reports and from a thesis dating
back twelve years, edited to make it look scary and
compliled by Junior members of Tony's 'spin' (or lie
through the teeth and hope you get away with it)
office.

What else was false about Powell's declaration to the
Security Council? Incidentally, doesn't Powell
presenting false information to that Council mean that
the USA is now in material breach of 1441?

The fact that falshoods are already proven in at least
some of Powell's testimony, means that the rest of it
MUST also be held in doubt.

Add to this the history of deception by The United States
Government in relation to Iraq. specifically the
'baby incubator story' where PR company 'Hill & Knowlton'
were employed to produce a reason for war. This was when Iraq's
direct aggression and invasion of another sovereign state
wasn't enough to pursuade the nation to take to war.
They produced a story of evil Iraqi soldiers tipping
tiny, helpless, premature babies out of their incubators
onto a cold hard Kuwait hospital floor to die. Just so that
the Iraqi's could steal the incubators to use in Bahgdad.
President Bush Snr. used this example of an 'evil act' many
time in speaches to pursuade the nation to go to war.

That 'evil act' was all a total fabrication. Lies
from start to finish. It was complete crap, bollocks
and bullshit -
and I bought it 100%.

They then present us with much more of the same 'intelligence
brought to you from wag the dog productions!'

This is what they use to pursuade us to want us to
send our loved one's off to war? Only, it won't
be a war will it?

It will be wholesale slaughter.

Iraq hasn't got any defences left. The Pro war Hawks
keep telling us Anti-war Peaceniks,
"It's OK, the conflict will only last a few days,
short sharp and disarmed by easter!"

Which also begs the question, If they are so
defenceless that this will be over so quick, HOW are
they a threat?

As for the, "Well, they are making WMD, which
terrorists could then use to attack us with" arguement.

firstly, Iraq knows it has more to gain by preventing
terrorists getting this stuff, because if any wmd does
hit the USA, Bahgdad will be turned to glass.

The Islamic fundamentalists know this too. So if they
want a muslim state to be nuked, they know how to
achieve it.

The main thing stopping terrorists at the moment is this
direct threat. Once Iraq has been 'Liberated' there will
be no reason for them to hold back, but quite the opposite.

Secondly, any chemical or biological weapons Iraq did
have will be inert by now. The only stocks they had are
what they got from the US, UK, France, Germany and a few
other places pre-1990. The stuff that is used to culture
anthrax goes off. There isn't a lab left in Iraq that
can make this stuff.

Jack Straw, the UK Foreign Secretary, claims that these
deadly weapons systems can be produced in a lab the
size of a living room. THAT IS TRUE! no really it is!

HOWEVER, that same living room sized lab needs to be
supported by a large facility that imports restricted
products. That would stand out like a sore thumb if it
was in a developed country. In a heavily restricted,
monitored and opressed third world country like Iraq?

Don't make me laugh!

These facts are not seriously discussed in the media.
Just the lies that are repeated continuously. Just the
false statements and disinformation and misleading
photographs.

We are presented with this falsified evidence in
(arguably) the most serious location on the planet,
The Security Council of the United Nations,
with a straight face and deadly serious intent.

They try to justify pre-emptive slaughter with these
lies and deception.

Sorry Mr Powell, I am not convinced. But then, I know
how to think. So that evidence was not intended for people like me.

Ken.
