Use Cattle Prod On Unemployed, Says Australian Politician
An Australian politician has used his first speech to parliament to call for unemployed idlers to be stung with a cattle prod to get them to work.
John Williams, a former truck driver, shearer, farmer and small business owner who only took his place in the Senate on July 1, said he had seen many people living on employment benefits who were "determined not to work".
"They are simply getting a free ride on behalf of tax payers of Australia and it is about time they received a touch on the backside with a cattle prodder to get them off their butts and actually do some work," he said.

Online Rumours Must Be Controlled
The world Wide Web must be controlled to stop malicious rumours and conspiracy theories being passed off as facts states the internet creator.
He said that a new system needed to be put in place that would differentiate between reliable websites that use trusted sources and those that do not.
"On the web, the thinking of cults can spread very rapidly and suddenly a cult which was 12 people who had some deep personal issues suddenly find a formula which is very believable," he told the BBC.
"A sort of conspiracy theory of sorts and which you can imagine spreading to thousands of people and being deeply damaging."
He said that he was especially concerned by the way the web had been used to stoke fears that the switching on of the Large Hadron Collider would destroy the earth, and to spread rumours that the combined MMR vaccine was causing harm to children.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee is backing a new project, the World Wide Web Foundation, which aims to accelerate the progress of the internet and make it more easily available and accessible in developing nations.

Drivers could have speed limited by satellite devices
Drivers could have their speed controlled by satellite to stop them from breaking the limit following a Government trial of new technology.
Cars fitted with the system would have their speed automatically monitored by satellites, which would also be programmed with the speed limits for different roads.
A motorist who tried to accelerate beyond the speed limit would find the system stopping the car from going any faster or issuing a warning instructing them to slow down.
The Department for Transport is set to back the system known as Intelligent Speed Adaptation. It follows lengthy trials conducted in Leeds in where cars have been fitted with the sophisticated satellite navigation system.
The Department for Transport said that the installation of the technology would be voluntary, but it is already in talks with the motor industry over how it could be made available for those who wanted to buy it.

Voluntary for now - Then mandatory and not only will they control what speed you go at but eactly where you are and where you are going at all times!!!!

The monarchs of money have been exposed as arrogant fools. Now we are all paying the price for their hubris
For decades, we have worshipped at the shrine of gold. Prime ministers and presidents have bowed before its keepers. The monarchs of cash, arbiters of wealth, supposed founts of all wisdom, have bestridden Europe and the United States, humbling all in their path.
Investment bankers, hedge fund managers, private equity bosses have strutted in their huge townhouses, tossed away thousands at charity auctions, held court at polo matches and racecourses, launched fleets of yachts and squadrons of Lear jets in a fashion which many of history's dictators would have envied.
Today, we awaken to discover that like so many wizards of Oz, these supremely confident figures are in reality foolish old men - and some young ones - mouthing hollow incantations from behind curtains.
Their universe is crumbling. They rule from the summits of glass towers, but now many can scarcely afford the rents. Markets are tumbling, currencies trembling, great companies begging for lifelines.
The money men have made fools of us. In the years of their dominance, they insisted that the markets were the highest judges and must be left free to rule. Now that the markets signal their downfall, they are running sobbing to governments and taxpayers, begging for our money to save them from the poorhouse.

College bans 'Christmas' and 'Easter' from calendar for fear of offending ethnic students
A college has renamed the traditional Christmas and Easter breaks in a bid to avoid offending students from other religions.
The college's new calendar shows that both of the traditional holiday periods have now been re-branded as 'end of term breaks'.
Critics have complained that the decision by Yorkshire Coast College is nothing more than 'political correctness'.
Tory MP Robert Goodwill said: 'I have heard that some people refer to the Christmas period as the Winterval, which is worse. This is absolutely barmy.

Teach Gay Sex To Children As Young As 5 Says Researchers
Children as young as five should be taught to understand the pleasures of gay sex, according to leaders of a taxpayer-funded education project.
Heads of the project have set themselves a goal of 'creating primary classrooms where queer sexualities are affirmed and celebrated'.
The ambition was revealed in documents prepared for the No Outsiders project run by researchers from universities and backed with £600,000 of public money provided by the Economic and Social Research Council.

Motorists still being ripped off as oil prices fall, but petrol stays high
Frustrated motorists are failing to see the benefit of slumping oil prices as crude yesterday dropped below $100 a barrel, the AA has warned.
The AA said drivers were being short-changed by up to 6p a litre as oil giants fail to pass on the benefits of tumbling crude prices.
It said that even allowing for a six week lag between oil prices and pump prices, motorists still appeared to be being 'ripped off' and that oil companies were 'dragging their feet.

Felt like "Martial Law" in Los Angeles!
In my life I have never seen anything like this! My niece got married today. The Wedding festivities ended at midnight. On my way home on the opposite side of the #60 freeway going into Downtown L. A. I see very large trucks w/flashing lights - about 25 to 30 - lined up to form a single-file line for cars to follow to be stopped by at least 2 dozen police! This is on a 5-lane freeway, mind you!
Thousands of cars and thousands of unsuspecting people are experiencing for the first time in their lives, the full impact of what a police state is all about this morning, folks! The freeway looks like a parking lot!

Patriots Must Reject the Two-Party System
The illusion is a shield, a curtain to hide the preparations being made off-stage from the spectators, to seal the fate of mankind. The stage hands know that one day the curtain will be lifted on their epic tragedy, revealing all that is now hidden. Our task is to expose the men behind the curtain before they can stage their final act.
It is time for Americans to grow-up and learn to think for themselves. All our lives we have had it so easy, with the ever-growing “nanny state” keeping us safe from the big bad world, making our decisions for us. This is the year of change. Nothing will ever be the same after this next election.
This is not saying that either of these two candidates will make a difference on anything important, it is simply a hard fact that “the powers that be” have decided that November 4, 2008 is to be a pivotal day in human history. After that day, the tyrants’ hands will be loosed from all restraining considerations, no political force will be able to deter the internationalists’ conspiracy from completing the global empire. The American people must be made to face this fact now, before the day of reckoning arrives.
With the passing of that fateful day, the “dogs of war” will truly be unleashed upon the innocent unprepared world. After the great game is decided, about whether our Nation shall be dominated by Republicans or “Republicans-lite” the real “shock and awe” will get underway. The outcome of this election will not change one thing, for Obama, like Clinton before him, is just another Republican “wannabe.” (Ask yourself: If Bush Sr. would have bombed more people than did Clinton, had he been elected?) Whoever wins in November, we will experience the national pain of a renewed draft, to feed our new war with another of Israel’s mortal enemies (probably all of Israel’s enemies at once

Mickey Mouse must die, says Saudi Arabian cleric
Sheikh Muhammad Munajid claimed the mouse is "one of Satan's soldiers" and makes everything it touches impure.
But he warned that depictions of the creature in cartoons such as Tom and Jerry, and Disney's Mickey Mouse, had taught children that it was in fact loveable.
The cleric, a former diplomat at the Saudi embassy in Washington DC, said that under Sharia, both household mice and their cartoon counterparts must be killed.
Mr Munajid was asked to give Islam's teaching on mice during a religious affairs programme broadcast on al-Majd TV, an Arab television network.
According to a translation prepared by the Middle East Media Research Institute, an American press monitoring service, he said: "The mouse is one of Satan's soldiers and is steered by him.

Is The Illuminati Provoking Economic Collapse
We may be on the verge of a stock market crash reminiscent of 1929.
I was watching a special CNBC program on the financial crisis when the news came across that Moody's had downgraded the Insurance giant AIG (American International Group.) This company was already on the ropes Monday when its stock crumbled to $4.75 from $11, %60 in one day. It was down from a $70 52-week-high. The company had gone to the Fed for a bailout. It was estimated it needed $40 billion.
Because of the Moody's downgrade, it emerges that it will need alot more money to avert bankruptcy. This is a massive company that holds the pensions of millions of employees. A money manager estimated that a trillion dollars would be lost if AIG declares bankruptcy. The whole world financial system could be taken down. He said banks in the Far East were already acting like this is inevitable, and the collapse already has been set in motion.
As you can imagine, the CNBC commentators were frantic. One demanded to know how the Fed can allow this to happen. "We know they print money," he said. Another wondered if the States whose pension funds were held by AIG could organize a bailout. Not enough time, he was told.
The bottom line is that Tuesday and the rest of this week could be ugly so be prepared. The second bottom line is that this Depression like the last appears to be caused by a deliberate contraction of credit. House prices are falling because banks don't have the money to lend to house buyers. As a result, portfolios holding mortgage backed securities are tumbling, taking banks with them. The Fed, after bailing out Fannie May and Fredie Mack, have let Lehman Brothers fail. AIG appears to be next and the dominoes will continue to fall.
At this time, it is important to remember that an Illuminati defector known as "Svali" said she was taught that the "end of the world" scenario involved an economic collapse. Remember the Illuminati is a Masonic cult founded and funded by the central bankers who own the Fed. Here is her full testimony given about ten year ago.

Israel cracks down on anti-draft websites
Israel is to launch a crackdown on organizations that offer advice on how to evade army service amid a wave of young Jews' disappointment. Israeli Attorney General Menachem Mazuz ordered on Monday an investigation against the organizations which offer internet advice on evading military service, accusing them of incitement against the army. Deputy Attorney General Shai Nitzan claims that the material published by such organizations on the Internet constitutes incitement against the army.

Obama: Bush's Pakistan Incursions, Small Step
US Presidential hopeful Barrack Obama has termed the cross-border raids by the US forces into Pakistan as a small step in the right direction. Obama supported the raids but described them as "baby steps" by the Bush's administration. "The Bush administration has come to that point of view. That's the kind of policy we have to pursue and continue ...This is a baby step, but it's a baby step in the right direction and something that John McCain hasn't been willing to acknowledge," Susan Rice, the top foreign policy adviser to Senator Obama, said. "President Bush and the administration, indeed, are doing what Senator Obama said we must, well over a year ago. If we have actionable intelligence about a high-value terrorist target inside Pakistan and Pakistan is unwilling or unable to take that target out, such as Osama bin Laden, Senator Obama's view is we should act," she added.
Once more the Hypocracy of both the Bush administration and Obama knows no bounds. They squeal like stuck pigs when Russia went to its citizens aid in Georgia and only las wek Arch neocon Cheney was bombasting russia about how civilized countries must have respect for another countries territorial integrity. This goes to show that no matter who you get in power in the US, things will never CHANGE unless you the people DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

MASTERS OF UNIVERSE FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY
'By the power of Greyskull, I'm overexposed in sub-prime securities!'THE masters of the universe were last night forced to relinquish control of their infinite creation and put all their personal items in a cardboard box.
The gigantic, all-powerful superbeings, to whom you are mere pawns on a chess board, handed their ID badges to security along with the little card that operates the snack machine on the second floor.
After a final day of juggling planets like tangerines, the invincible emperors of finance stole as many staplers as they could carry before getting the bus home.
Todd Logan, a master of the universe since 1997, said: "Do I get to keep my cell phone? You want that back too? Okay, can I at least keep the simcard so I don't have to change numbers?"
Logan said any universe that allowed a colossus like himself to sit around in his underpants all day eating cheese products and watching Crime Scene: Navy Crime did not deserve to exist.
"Since when does the free market apply to banks? I thought it was just for sandwich shops and major international airlines."Now I'll have to go to the store and buy tinned food and cleaning products.
Who is going to moisturise my elbows? Who is going to sponge my ass?"
He added: "Avert your gaze mortals. I am your GOD!"

Pakistan Fires At US Helicopters
Pakistan has reportedly fired warning shots at US-led helicopters, repelling them as they entered the country's tribal region. "The US-led coalition troops in helicopters came close to the border and they tried to enter into Pakistan territory in the early hours of Monday but shots were fired by Pakistani troops and the coalition troops retreated," AFP quoted a security official as saying Monday.

FEMA - Executive Orders
Some people have referred to it as the "secret government" of the United States. It is not an elected body, it does not involve itself in public disclosures, and it even has a quasi-secret budget in the billions of dollars. This government organization has more power than the President of the United States or the Congress, it has the power to suspend laws, move entire populations, arrest and detain citizens without a warrant and hold them without trial, it can seize property, food supplies, transportation systems, and can suspend the Constitution. Not only is it the most powerful entity in the United States, but it was not even created under Constitutional law by the Congress. It was a product of a Presidential Executive Order. No, it is not the U.S. military nor the Central Intelligence Agency, they are subject to Congress. The organization is called FEMA, which stands for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Originally conceived in the Richard Nixon Administration, it was refined by President Jimmy Carter and given teeth in the Ronald Reagan and George Bush Administrations.
FEMA had one original concept when it was created, to assure the survivability of the United States government in the event of a nuclear attack on this nation. It was also provided with the task of being a federal coordinating body during times of domestic disasters, such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes. Its awesome powers grow under the tutelage of people like Lt. Col. Oliver North and General Richard Secord, the architects on the Iran-Contra scandal and the looting of America's savings and loan institutions. FEMA has even been given control of the State Defense Forces, a rag-tag, often considered neo-Nazi, civilian army that will substitute for the National Guard, if the Guard is called to duty overseas.

The Israelization Of US Foreign Policy
THE ISRAELI ‘6 DAY WAR’ of 1967 drove the leaders of Israel to look for a new partner. This was because President De Gaulle suspended all arms shipments to Israel because Israel initiated the 6 Day War against French advice.
In November of 1967, De Gaulle had some choice words about the Jews who had spurned his counsel - and a warning to the world:
In November of 1967, De Gaulle had some choice words about the Jews who had spurned his counsel - and a warning to the world:
“The establishment of a Zionist homeland in Palestine has raised certain fears. The question must be asked whether the settlement of this community on a land acquired under more or less justifiable conditions would not lead to continued conflicts.
Some people even feared that the Jews, an elite people, sure of themselves and domineering, would, once assembled again on the land of their ancient greatness, turn their Zionist pursuit into a burning and conquering ambition.
Since 1956, we have witnessed a warrior State of Israel that is determined to increase its boundaries. Israel has reached further objectives in only six days of fighting. Now Israel organizes itself on conquered territories, the occupation of which cannot go without oppression and expulsions”

21 Dead In Indonesia Stampede
At least 21 people have been killed and many others injured in a stampede in Indonesia's East Java province, local media reported. They were waiting for a charity handout, a tradition during the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan, when the crush happened in the town of Pasuruan. Most of the dead are women and children. According to local police officials, about 10,000 people were lined up in an alley to receive cash handouts, of $3.30 per person, from a wealthy family. Some people were trampled and some others collapsed because of a lack of oxygen. Some of the injured people are in critical condion

Islamic Sharia Courts In Britain Are Now 'Legally Binding'
Islamic sharia law courts in Britain are exploiting a little-known legal clause to make their verdicts officially binding under UK law in cases including divorce, financial disputes and even domestic violence.
A new network of courts in five major cities is hearing cases where Muslims involved agree to be bound by traditional Sharia law, and under the 1996 Arbitration Act the court's decisions can then be enforced by the county courts or the High Court.
Officials behind the new system claim to have dealt with more than 100 cases since last summer, including six involving domestic violence which is a criminal rather than civil offence, and said they hoped to take over growing numbers of 'smaller' criminal cases in future.

12 Year Old Arrested In Ni’lin Brought Before Military Court
On Sunday 14th September, Mohammad Saleh Khawaje, aged 12 years and two months, from the village of Ni’lin will spend a fourth night in Ofer prison near Ramallah, as he awaits release on bail for the charges of stone-throwing and disturbance of public order. His co-defendant, 13 year old Abdul Ahman is not so lucky; he will be kept in jail until his indictment on Tuesday 16th September, when military prosecutors will request that the judge refuse bail, forcing the child to remain incarcerated for the period of his trial - a process that takes up to six months. The difference in their treatment, according to their lawyer, is based on the slight age difference. If convicted, however, both children face approximately ten to twelve months in jail, advised their lawyer.A clear indication of the apartheid nature of the Israeli legal system, Mohammad and Abdul will be tried and punished as adults, despite their young ages because Palestinian children are defined as adults at 12 years old; while Israeli children are treated as such until they reach 18 years of age.

Cheney Scales New Heights of Hypocrisy
While Alaska Governor and Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin is getting all the attention, the current vice president, Dick Cheney, was able to pontificate about Russia and Georgia with barely any notice from the media. However, while hardly anyone was watching, Mr. Cheney echoed the hypocrisy of his boss, President George Bush. While traveling in Italy, Mr. Cheney decided to become the moral arbiter of Russia’s foreign policies. His incredible remarks are worth studying.“Recent occurrences in Georgia, beginning with the military invasion by Russia, have been flatly contrary to some of our most deeply held beliefs. Russian forces crossed an internationally recognized border into a sovereign state; fueled and fomented an internal conflict; conducted acts of war without regard for innocent life, killing civilians and causing the displacement of tens of thousands.”If anyone doubted the vice president’s disdain for those who elected him and kept him in power, this speech should have been an eye-opener. How he could make that statement with a straight face is beyond comprehension. Was he not a major force in the U.S. military invasion of Iraq? Mr. Bush may not have needed much encouragement to embark on this deadly oil grab, but whatever encouragement he may have needed was gladly provided by the vice president.

UK Is Full Of Tin Pot Town Hall Dictators
Labour is creating an army of tinpot town hall dictators with Big Brother-style powers to impose “petty” laws on the public, it was claimed last night.
The Government is handing authority to local councils to create rules on everything from where wheelie bins are left to where food is eaten in public places.It could mean a ban on feeding the ducks to fines for those who cycle through a park or walk on the grass. Parents of youngsters who ignore a by-law forbidding football in a residential road could face a cash penalty, while dog lovers who let their pooches play off the lead could also pay a high price.Residents were warned to expect fines of up to £80 if they breach the regulations as cash-strapped councils turn the simplest of pastimes into a cash-cow for their dwindling coffers.

The US Top Secret In Iraq And The Israeli Connection
Bob Woodward’s newest book "the War within" which he reveals in it how the Bush administration has administrated the war in Iraq and in it he talks about a US secret program to counter the Iraqi insrugency. Woodward told CNN’s Larry king, earlier this week, that he has obtained secret information on the workings of US military in Iraq that enabled the US forces to stem the tide of violence and al-Qaeda terrorism in Iraq.Though it looks like it is a super secret as to what kind of program the US forces had developed to counter the military-style attacks in Iraq against its forces, but this supposed super secret is not quite that big of a secret after all.It was reported in the US and British press as far back as 2003 that the US forces is using the Israeli Army tactics and Israeli advisers for training and consultations to counter the insurgency in Iraq. In a 2003 article titled"Israel trains US assassination squads in Iraq" the British newspaper the Guardian Reported that "The Israeli defense Force (IDF) has send urban warfare specialists to Fort Bragg in North Carolina, the home of US special forces, and according to two sources , Israeli military "consultants" have also visited Iraq"
Lehmans To File For Bankruptcy
Stocks and the U.S. dollar tumbled on Monday as Lehman Brothers was expected to file for bankruptcy, leading to grave uncertainties about other banks and shaken confidence in the financial system, and sending safe-haven Treasury debt and gold prices soaring.
U.S. stock market futures were down more than 3 percent, pointing to sharply lower open, while major European markets were set for falls of between 2 and 3.2 percent, according to one financial spread-betting firm.
The dollar plunged 2 percent against the yen, on track for its biggest daily fall in more than six years, as U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers looked set on a path to bankruptcy in a massive blow to investors' willingness to take risks

Anger As Car Journey Data Stored
Civil liberties campaigners have expressed alarm that millions of car journeys are to be stored on a national database for five years.
Already some 10 million journeys a day are being recorded using automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), but this is set to rise to 50 million.
It will be collated at a new National ANPR Data Centre in Hendon, north London, for use by police.
While the original period for which the data was planned to be held was two years, the Home Office has confirmed that it was now being kept for five years.
The disclosure came after a freedom of information request by The Guardian.
The paper has also obtained an Acpo ANPR strategy document advising officers to "fully and strategically exploit" the data gathered.

Big Brother In The "Big Apple": Encircling Manhattan With Thousands Of Surveillance Cameras
The Lower Manhattan Security Initiative (LMSI) and a related program, Operation Sentinel, are modeled after London's so-called "Ring of Steel." In London, roads entering the city are narrowed and have tight serpentine curves that force drivers to slow down and be recorded by CCTV cameras. Typically, such roads have concrete or reinforced plastic medians with a sentry box where police stand guard and monitor traffic flows. Following the July 7, 2005 terrorist attacks in London, security has been stepped up, with occasional spot checks by machine-gun toting police of cars and trucks entering the security cordon.
As it now stands, LMSI would link a matrix of 3,000 public and private surveillance cameras for monitoring and tracking vehicles and pedestrians south of Canal Street, the city's financial hub. Other features of the system include mobile roadblocks that could swivel into place and block off any given street to traffic.

Freedom Not Fear - Worldwide Protest Against The Surveillance State
Surveillance mania is spreading. Governments and businesses register, monitor and control our behaviour ever more thoroughly. No matter what we do, who we phone and talk to, where we go, whom we are friends with, what our interests are, which groups we participate in - "big brother" government and "little brothers" in business know it more and more thoroughly. The resulting lack of privacy and confidentiality is putting at risk the freedom of confession, the freedom of speech as well as the work of doctors, helplines, lawyers and journalists.
The manifold agenda of security sector reform encompasses the convergence of police, intelligence agencies and the military, threatening to melt down the division and balance of powers. Using methods of mass surveillance, the borderless cooperation of the military, intelligence services and police authorities is leading towards the construction of "Fortresses" in Europe and on other continents, directed against refugees and different-looking people but also affecting, for example, political activists, the poor and under-priviledged, and sports fans.
People who constantly feel watched and under surveillance cannot freely and courageously stand up for their rights and for a just society. Mass surveillance is thereby threatening the fabric of a democratic and open society. Mass surveillance is also endangering the work and commitment of civil society organizations.
Surveillance, distrust and fear are gradually transforming our society into one of uncritical consumers who have "nothing to hide" and - in a vain attempt to achieve total security - are prepared to give up their freedoms. We do not want to live in such a society!
We believe the respect for our privacy to be an important part of our human dignity. A free and open society cannot exist without unconditionally private spaces and communications.
The increasing electronic registration and surveillance of the entire population does not make us any safer from crime, costs millions of Euros and puts the privacy of innocent citizens at risk. Under the reign of fear and blind actionism, targeted and sustained security measures fall by the wayside, as well as tackling peoples' actual daily problems such as unemployment and poverty.
In order to protest against security mania and excessive surveillance we will take to the streets in capital cities in many countries on 11 October 2008. We call on everybody to join our peaceful protest. Politicians are to see that we are willing to take to the streets for the protection of our liberties!
You can find the latest information on the protest marches and the list of participating cities at our website: http://wiki.vorratsdatenspeicherung.de/Freedom_Not_Fear_2008.
Our demands
1. Cutback on surveillance
no blanket registration of all air travellers (PNR data)
no information exchange with the US and other states lacking effective data protection

Protect common internet places of expression (participatory sites, forums, comments on blogs) today threatened by inadequate laws encouraging self-censorship (chilling effect)
Our Obsession With Crime Is Crushing Our Freedoms
The story of Milly, an eight-year-old cat who disappeared out of window in Whitstable two weeks ago, has much to tell us about the petty-minded forces that have come to replace proper policing in this country. Her owners, Stephen and Heather Cope and their son Daniel, 13, searched high and low for Milly, then, failing to find her, did what any normal person would do: put up posters to see if anyone had seen her. The next thing they heard was from one of the local council community wardens, who rang the telephone number on the poster and threatened them with a £80 on-the-spot fine for antisocial behaviour.
Seldom can there have been a more officious, twerpish enforcement of the law, but this kind of action is now one of the established parts of this dreadful government's legacy. As the police retreat from the streets, we are prey to every type of snoop, informant, busybody and vindictive martinet, all of them licensed by the government's accreditation scheme so that they may demand our names and addresses, photograph us, check car tax discs and seize alcohol, issue fines for truancy, rowdiness, graffiti and dog fouling.
In Colchester, litter wardens are taking pictures of alleged offenders to publish them in the local paper. One local council has been reported as using officials to check car numbers outside homes to see who is sleeping with whom, for God knows what purpose. Children as young as eight are among 5,000 private citizens across the country recruited as paid 'covert human intelligences sources'.

US Will Supply 1,000 Bunker Buster Bombs To Israel
The US will reportedly equip Israel with highly advanced smart bombs capable of taking out fortified nuclear installations in Iran. The 'bunker-buster' bombs, the Guided Bomb Unit-39 (GBU-39), have been developed to penetrate fortified facilities located deep underground - such as Iran's nuclear facilities. Despite escalating speculation that Tel Aviv plans to launch attacks against Iran, Haaretz reported that the US Department of Defense confirmed on Friday that it would sell 1,000 GBU-39 units to Israel. French President Nicolas Sarkozy suggested last week that should Iran continue with its uranium enrichment program, it could be attacked by Israel. "We could find one morning that Israel has struck (Iran)," said the French president, adding that no one would question the legitimacy of such an act of aggression.

The European Union - The New Soviet Union
Vladimir Bukovsky spent many years in Russian labour camps and psychiatric prisons for defending human rights. He came to Britain in 1976. He lectures and writes on the old Soviet system and the EU. For him the European Union is a “monster” that must be destroyed, the sooner the better, before it develops into a fullfledged totalitarian state.

Obama Calls For US Military Mobilization
In remarks that clearly pointed toward the restoration of the military draft under an Obama administration, the Democratic candidate said Thursday night that his job as president would include demanding that the American people recognize an "obligation" for military service. "If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some," Senator Barack Obama declared.

HSBC boss admits huge bonuses paid to City bankers helped cause credit crunch
Huge bonuses paid to City bankers have contributed to the credit crunch, the chairman of HSBC has admitted.
Stephen Green said he 'quite agreed' that the rewards of £14billion in 2006/07 for London's financial institutions were excessive and contributed to the current 'painful' downturn Britain now faces.
Mr Green himself is said to have earned £1.25million - plus a £1.75 million bonus - last year.
And HSBC's annual report revealed that the five best-paid people at the bank earned total bonuses of £24.5million in 2007.
It is the first time one of the world's leading banking figures has said remuneration in the banking industry was a factor in causing the current financial problems.
In an interview with the BBC, Mr Green, 59, indicated that one of the causes of the credit crunch was the number of staff who were paid too much for deals that went wrong, costing banks a fortune.

How obscene is that! At a time when banks are foreclosing on their customers, dropping credit interest payments to save money and charging customers the earth for going overdrawn.
I recently went overdrawn by 20p yes 20 pence and was charged the total sum of £63 for the privilege!!

Fresh calls for a public inquiry into Omagh bombing after claims bombers' phone calls were recorded
New mobile phone evidence has emerged which could have prevented the Omagh bombing.
Pressure for a public inquiry into the bombing is growing again after it was claimed intelligence chiefs at GCHQ - the British secret organisation which intercepts electronic communications - recorded the bombers' mobile phone calls on the day of the attack.
It is unclear whether monitoring staff were listening to the exchanges live, but it is possible the attack could have been stopped.

Council uses anti-terror rules to spy on man with noisy wardrobe
Fife Council was given permission to plant recording equipment in the neighbour's flat in response to concern that his or her human rights were being infringed because of the noise. The council admitted in another investigation that such equipment could lead to "collateral intrusion", in which conversations were recorded, but insisted that all material was destroyed.
Michael Parker, a spokesman for NO2ID, a civil liberties campaign group, said councils should adopt less intrusive ways of tackling problems.
He said: "No one wants to stand in the way of the detection of crime but with the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act the pendulum has swung too far. Some of these surveillance operations are quite costly and counterproductive.
"They are costing more than some of the problems they are designed to tackle.
Mr Parker went on: "There is a danger that council staff will begin to behave like police officers. They will come to regard themselves as super-sleuths and everyone will be under suspicion."

IAEA: No nuclear material missing in Iran
The International Atomic Energy Agency has denied reports that enriched uranium has disappeared from Iran's nuclear facility in Isfahan. "The article, entitled 'Iran renews nuclear weapons development' published in [Friday's] Daily Telegraph by Con Coughlin and Tim butcher is fictitious," IAEA Spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said in a statement. "IAEA inspectors have no indication that any nuclear material is missing from the plant," reads the statement. The September 12 article alleges that nuclear material equivalent to that of six atomic bombs have disappeared from Isfahan and were believed to have been relocated to covert installations spotted by American spy satellites. "The inspectors only have limited access at Isfahan, and it looks as though Iranian officials have removed significant quantities of UF6 at a stage in the process that is not being monitored," the Daily Telegraph quoted an unnamed nuclear official as saying. The recent IAEA statement, however, confirms that IAEA Chief Mohamed ElBaradei's report on Iran will show that "all nuclear material at the Uranium Conversion Facility in Isfahan remains under Agency containment and surveillance

Mothers allowed to check boyfriends for sex offences
SINGLE mothers will be able to demand police checks on prospective boyfriends under a new scheme designed to combat paedophiles.
The initiative, to be launched tomorrow, is a watered-down version of Sarah’s Law – a proposal named after eight-year-old Sarah Payne, who was murdered eight years ago.
But the plan to give “vulnerable carers”, such as single mothers, access to the Sex Offenders’ Register has been criticised as unworkable and wide open to abuse by its opponents.
Harry Fletcher, assistant general secretary of the probation officers’ union Napo, said: “This scheme will be fraught with difficulties.
“The most vulnerable women rarely seek help. It will also be open to abuse by people who want to obtain information about those they may wish to damage.”
Ministers have selected four police regions where single mothers and foster parents will be able to ask for a criminal record check on strangers who have recently come into contact with their children.
From tomorrow, qualifying parents in Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Cleveland and Warwickshire will be able to call a police hotline to arrange the checks. Single fathers will also be able to use the system.
If successful, the Home Office will implement the scheme across the country. It stops short of giving any member of the public access to the names and addresses of all 31,416 people on the Sex Offenders’ Register.

Speed cameras to get longer reach
SPEED cameras that track drivers over long distances by measuring average speed are to be deployed on motorways, at accident black spots and in residential areas.
The Home Office is expected to grant approval for the technology in January. Ministers plan to install them as replacements for Gatso and Truvelo cameras, which measure speed over only a few yards, meaning that motorists can brake as they pass the cameras and then accelerate again. The new cameras can enforce the speed limit over stretches of up to six miles.
The average speed cameras work in pairs, monitoring the time each car takes to travel between two points. The system then calculates its average speed over that distance.
Such cameras are currently used on motorways only during roadworks.
Read more...
So now the agenda becomes clearer. Speed cameras were only supposed to be placed at accident blackspots and have been proved not to save lives but to make money.
So now they are going to replace them with camera networks that cover up to 6 miles at a time.

Taser adds shock and awe to every bobby’s arsenal
FRONTLINE police officers across the country are to go on patrol armed with the controversial Taser stun gun under plans to be announced by ministers later this year.
A stockpile of the weapons, which fire a 50,000-volt charge, will be kept at each police station so that patrolling officers can use them if required, Whitehall officials said.
They will be used to confront and disable suspects who threaten violence, whether suspected suicide bombers or aggressive drunken yobs.
Jacqui Smith, the home secretary, believes using Tasers on thugs and violent criminals will help to protect officers from injury. She also believes the stun guns will save resources, because in future fewer officers will need to be deployed to deal with individual incidents.

Gloom deepens as America’s debt piles up
The great clunking fist has struck again, or almost. This time it was aimed at the chin of John McCain, who just might be the next president of America. Fortunately, McCain has proved he can take such a blow, so his staff confined its reaction to polite enquiries of Britain’s ambassador, Sir Nigel Sheinwald, asking: “What the devil is the British prime minister doing endorsing the economic programme of Barack Obama?”
Not that it much matters. The McCain team knows that Brown is largely responsible for the mess in which the British economy finds itself. That makes his support for Obama’s economic plans about as useful as feathers on a fish, to borrow a phrase coined by congressman John Dingell in another connection.
The differences between Obama-Brown and McCain are far from trivial. Obama wants to raise taxes on families earning more than $250,000 a year, and on their dividends and capital gains, to support a redistributionist cheque of $1,000 to each of the 95% of Americans not in the top bracket. He would take the tax rate on high earners to about the UK level of 40%. Brown naturally leans more towards Obama than a tax-cutter like McCain.

It's the creepy plotters who rule us we should really be scared of
There is no such organisation as ‘Al Qaeda’. The spooks know this, Cabinet Ministers know this and so do the ‘security correspondents’ who so readily trot out the spooks’ point of view on our broadcasting networks.
Of course, there are terrorists, and there are also fantasists, fanatics, low-lifes and camp followers who plot and attempt horrible things. Some of them even call themselves ‘Al Qaeda’ these days because they have learned that this is a good way to scare us.
But, while they are a menace, they are not as big or as organised a menace as the Government likes to make out.
The State and the vainglorious bureaucrats of the ‘security’ services need to pretend that the terrorists are a tightly organised and terrifying threat, to make themselves look big as well – and to help them get hold of new powers to snoop on us and push us around.
Some of you may remember the rather squalid behaviour, back in the summer of 2006, by the then Home Secretary, the unrepentant ex-communist brute John Reid.
Lightly tossing aside the wise tradition that in free countries Ministers stay out of criminal justice matters, he reeled out a boastful, alarmist statement about some arrests of alleged terrorists, using words so preju-dicial that I will not reproduce them here.
When, two years later, a jury was unconvinced by many of the claims made by the authorities in this case, the same nastiness re-emerged in a different way.

US army unveil latest weapon - the robodog of war
The US army is poised to unleash the dogs of war – four-legged, petrol-powered robots to help its troops in battle.Billed as ‘the most advanced quadruped robot on Earth’, BigDog has been devised to support American troops by carrying up to four packs of equipment on awkward terrain unsuitable for wheeled vehicles.
Standing at over 2ft tall and more than 3ft long, BigDog comes equipped with all manner of high-tech gadgets, including laser gyroscopes, a video camera sensor system and a sophisticated on-board computer – but, sadly, no wagging tail.

EU motorcycle laws cost Britain millions in new test centres ... just so riders can do emergency stops at precisely 31mph
It has been a crucial part of the British motorcycle test for generations ... the emergency stop on a quiet suburban street.
But a new EU-approved test is set to change that, and other vital aspects of the examination, in an overhaul that is plunging the motorcycling world into chaos and costing the British taxpayer millions.
Anyone taking a motorbike test will soon be assessed on manoeuvres such as the emergency stop or avoiding an obstacle at EU-specified speeds of 30 and 50 kilometres per hour.
British Ministers signed up to the new-style test without protest – apparently oblivious to the fact that 50kph is 31mph, 1mph above the speed limit for the kind of quiet streets where tests are usually taken.
Now Britain is spending £71million building new off-road test centres, with mock streets, so that the EU examination can be held legally.

The New American Slavery
The average American in the year 2005 lives a fragile existence, in a struggle for survival that can be end-ed by missing a few paychecks. The carrot at the end of the stick which was formerly known as "the American dream" has been replaced by a whip that can best be described as the American nightmare of homelessness, and slow, early death. You no longer work to achieve a better life for yourselves and your children. You work to keep a roof over your head, and you pray that you don’t lose it. You became a slave when fear replaced incentive as your motivation to work, but I still suggest that you work while you can, because if the company you work for can’t send your job overseas, the U.S. government is allowing 2000 people per day to enter this country illegally, because they’re willing to do your job for less. It doesn't matter if you’re a "white collar" or "blue collar" employee. If you’re an American, you’re too highly paid. There are billions of people who want your job, and your government is doing all they can to see that you lose it to them. You see, we’re not really Americans anymore. Now we’re just anonymous faces in the "global village," because our government has sold our nation to foreigners and international bankers, and the new bankruptcy law has doomed the American citizen to a life of debt slavery. They’ll insist that illegal immigrants are only doing jobs that Americans refuse to do, and you’ll probably believe it, because if you’re watching the TV that shovels that crap, you probably still have your job. The illegal immigrants are doing jobs that Americans always did, and every unemployed American I talk to can’t find a job anywhere.

The European Union - An Insight Into The Coming Orwellian Superstate
Once You Have Read This Report You Will Realise We Are Now Moving To DEFCON SEVEREThe European Union is currently developing a new five year strategy for justice and home affairs and security policy for 2009-2014. The proposals set out by the shadowy “Future Group” set up by the Council of the European Union include a range of highly controversial measures including new technologies of surveillance, enhanced cooperation with the United States and harnessing the “digital tsunami”. In the words of the EU Council presidency:
“Every object the individual uses, every transaction they make and almost everywhere they go will create a detailed digital record. This will generate a wealth of information for public security organisations, and create huge opportunities for more effective and productive public security efforts.”
Seven years on from 11 September 2001 and the launch of the so-called “war on terorism” this major new report The Shape of Things to Come (60 pages) examines the proposals of the Future Group and their effect on civil liberties.
It shows how European governments and EU policy-makers are pursuing unfettered powers to access and gather masses of personal data on the everyday life of everyone – on the grounds that we can all be safe and secure from perceived “threats”.
The Statewatch report calls for a “meaningful and wide-ranging debate” before it is “too late” for privacy and civil liberties.

Park Life - A Derbyshire Tale
Millions of pounds of public funds are to be used to help a private company turn Britain's first ever country park into a golf Resort.
Elvaston Castle country park comprising a Grade 2 go tic revival mansion and more than 300 acres of parkland in Derbyshire , was the first country park to be purchased under the 1968 Countryside Act, intended to safeguard open spaces for future generations. More than 600,000 visit there every year.
Now Derbyshire county council hopes to get shot of an estimated £3million repair bill for the castle and the annual £500,000 spent on the grounds. It plans to turn Elvaston into a luxury hotel with wedding and conference facilities, along with bars, restaurants and a swimming pool.
Continued public access will be assured - as long as the public buys gym membership or pays to eat in the bars or restaurants.
The grounds are to be converted into two golf courses. Twelve acres of nature reserve will also have to go.
After the usual loaded public "consultation" exercise, the public consulted itself in the form of a 60,000 named petition in opposition.Nevertheless, Derbyshire announced its "preferred partner" Highgate Sanctuary Ltd. Director Tanya Spilsbury's father is Brian Ashby, head of commercial property firm Norseman Holdings.
The council protests that it is not selling Elvaston - but a 150 yr lease will see us all out. Once the planning permissions are in place by spring 2009 it is hoped that Highgate Sanctuary will provide and estimated £2.75 million match funding(along with a peppercorn rent for the lease) so the council can resubmit its bid for millions more pounds of public money to the heritage lottery fund to "restore" the castle and grounds for the benefit and profit of..... Highgate Sanctuary!
