***BREAKING NEWS***

Wednesday 23rd July 2008: -

• Another 9/11 Apologist Exposed: Thanks to 9/11 Blogger and AJFan, I just listened to one of the most amazing pieces of abject fabrication I have heard on any radio station; and that includes Bill O’s show - “Professor Muller (at about 7:30) is led by Boston Public Radio host Tom Ashbrook to the subject of what future presidents should know about the physics of terrorism; specifically, how did those buildings come down?” Professor Muller is currently with the University of California, Berkley and also a member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group which brings together top scientists as consultants for the United States Department of Defense. So he shouldn’t be too biased, eh? He writes a monthly column for MIT’s magazine and by all accounts, he is a very smart man (you can tell by how he holds his glasses there). So, let’s see what he says in the interview about the physics of 9/11, shall we?

• Soldier Dies In Afghanistan - A soldier has been killed in Afghanistan, while two others were injured in the bomb attack. A spokesman for the MoD has revealed that he was a member of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), on attachment to the Parachute Regiment. The injuries of the other two soldiers are not thought to be life threatening. The soldier's death, on Tuesday night, takes the number of British military casualties in the country to 111. An MoD statement said: "Whilst returning fire one soldier from 2nd Battalion the Parachute Regiment was injured by a mine. "While leaving the scene after suppressing the enemy, a vehicle other soldiers were travelling in hit a suspected improvised explosive device."

• Cleric Hamza loses bid to stop extradition to U.S - Radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri lost a legal bid on Wednesday to block his extradition from Britain to the United States where he is accused of trying to set up an al Qaeda camp and faces other terrorism charges. Hamza, who is serving a seven-year jail term for inciting his followers to murder non-believers, is accused by U.S. prosecutors of attempting to set up a terrorist training camp in Bly, Oregon, from 1999 to early 2000. The Egyptian-born cleric, who applauded the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001, also faces charges that he was involved in plotting the capture of 16 Western hostages in Yemen in 1998. Four of the hostages, three Britons and an Australian, were killed when Yemeni troops stormed the militants' hide-out.

• Dawn Page receives £800k payout for brain injury caused by high-fluid diet: A mother of two has won more than £800,000 at the High Court after she claimed that a radical detox diet left her brain-damaged and epileptic - A mother of two has won more than £800,000 at the High Court after she claimed that a radical detox diet left her brain-damaged and epileptic. Dawn Page, 52, said that she was told to drink four extra pints of water a day and reduce her salt intake to prevent fluid retention and reduce weight. Within days of going on “The Amazing Hydration Diet” she began vomiting and, less than a week after starting the diet, suffered a massive epileptic fit. She was taken to intensive care but doctors were unable to prevent permanent brain injury. Mrs Page now suffers from epilepsy and a “cognitive deficit” that affects her memory, concentration and her ability to speak normally. She was forced to quit her job as a conference organiser, suffers from frequent mood swings and relies on her husband, Geoff, for help around the house.

Tuesday 22nd July 2008: -

• Another major man-made climate change advocate recants - The campaign to force people to accept that “the debate is over” and that man-made CO2 emissions are driving climate change is in deep trouble, with another top global warming advocate - rocket scientist and carbon accounting expert Dr. Richard Evans - completely reversing his position. Evans was a consultant to the Australian Greenhouse Office from 1999 to 2005 and he wrote the carbon accounting model (FullCAM) that measures Australia’s compliance with the Kyoto Protocol.

• Warming Swindle film swindled of justice - Ofcom, Britain’s media regulator, seems to have been too quick to damn the Great Global Warming Swindle, and too quick to exonerate one of Britian’s leading warming hysterics: In the closing moments of the program a voiceover from the climate change sceptic Fred Singer claimed that the Chief Scientist of the UK had said that by the end of the century the only habitable place on the planet would be in the Antarctic and that “humanity may survive thanks to some breeding couples who moved to the Antarctic”. Sir David has never made such a statement. It is thought that Mr Singer confused the comments with those made by the scientist James Lovelock, who infuriated many colleagues in the science community when he publicly questioned global warming.

• 9/11 billboard used to sell Republican song: US citizens outraged at Mike Meehan's Republican Song adverts - especially as the song sucks - Residents of Orlando, Florida were outraged and baffled last week by billboards showing the burning twin towers alongside the message "Please Don't Vote For A Democrat". As a nationwide kerfuffle ensued, local Republicans hastily distanced themselves from the billboards. But it turned out that the posters' message — while heartfelt — is actually the title of a song, available for download (for $5) from a website also mentioned on the billboard.

• 9/11 Search Dog From Utah Dying Of Cancer - Kenji is one of four Utah search dogs who were called to work at ground zero. A 9/11 hero is fighting cancer that may be the result of his work at ground zero. He is the last of four Utah dogs, who went to New York and searched for survivors in smoking debris after the terrorist attacks. Fields Moseley has his story. At eleven years old, Kenji still likes to go for a walk through Dimple Dell Park. Despite having rebuilt knees and some gray fur, he still has plenty of energy for a game of hide-and-seek. Finding people is what Kenji was trained to do. It is what his owner and partner Dave Perks says he's always been good at it. “We’ve been proud of Kenji. He's been a really fine search dog. Learns quick and doesn't forget,” said Perks. That's why this well-trained lab was one of four dogs who got the call when terror struck. “We belong to Utah Task Force One,” Perks said. When the World Trade Center towers were brought down by terrorists in 2001, this elite group searched the debris for survivors.

• Cashless society coming soon ala Starbucks - I went to Starbucks this morning to get a coffee. Nothing unusual in that. However, as I was waiting in line I went to get my money clip and realized I had left it at home. OK, no problem. I reached into my wallet and pulled out my trusty debit card - then a thought ocurred to me that went something like this: "I am ordering a $3.50 item at a drive thru and I am going to pay with a debit/credit card. That just doesn't seem right to me." The feeling was so strong, I was tempted to order something else I absolutely didn't want just to pump up the bill a little. At least that way I wouldn't feel as creeped out about using plastic to buy $3.50 worth of coffee.

• Bluetooth is watching: secret study gives Bath a flavour of Big Brother: Covert monitoring system raises privacy issues / Signals can be used to track mobile phone users - Tens of thousands of Britons are being covertly tracked without their consent in a technology experiment which has installed scanners at secret locations in offices, campuses, streets and pubs to pinpoint people's whereabouts. The scanners, the first 10 of which were installed in Bath three years ago, are capturing Bluetooth radio signals transmitted from devices such as mobile phones, laptops and digital cameras, and using the data to follow unwitting targets without their permission. The data is being used in a project called Cityware to study how people move around cities. But pedestrians are not being told that the devices they carry around in their pockets and handbags could be providing a permanent record of their journeys, which is then stored on a central database.

• How Many Chinese Have Been ‘Suicided’? - “Being suicided” is a new term growing popular on the Internet in China today. It generally refers to deaths that are announced by Chinese authorities to be suicides, but where foul play is suspected. Often when authorities attribute a death to suicide, people believe the real killer will never be punished, considering the corrupt legal and policing systems in China. The term’s first usage may been in the internet discussion of the death of Li Guohua, a man from Anhui Province who reported the corruption of local officials to higher authorities.

• Epilepsy drug link to birth defects found - Pregnant women who take an epilepsy drug that is also prescribed for migraines may increase the risk of their children having birth defects, doctors warned yesterday. Babies born to women who took topiramate during pregnancy were more likely to have cleft palates, cleft lips and genital abnormalities, a study found. The findings build on previous research, which found that other anti-convulsant drugs are also linked to an increase in birth defects. Typically, 2-3% of babies are born with abnormalities, but among women taking epilepsy drugs, the figure is 4-8%. Birth defects were more common when women were receiving high doses of more than one drug.

Monday 21st July 2008: -

• 2008 Bohemian Grove Guest List Obtained By 9/11 Truth Activists: Guests included George H. W. Bush, David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger - An official guest list for Bohemian Grove's 2008 midsummer encampment along with a map of the Grove's facilities has been obtained by a San Francisco based action group who held protests and information drives outside the entrance to the elite summer retreat. The list reveals that amongst the hundreds of corporate representatives, government officials and banking elites, guests also included former president George H.W. Bush, David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, as well as several former directors of the CIA, including James Woolsey.

• More than a movement -- the search for 9/11 truth is an awakening - A year ago, I announced in this forum the launching of my survey for a book that would compile personal accounts of ordinary people active in the 9/11 truth movement. Since then, I’ve been gathering dozens of revealing, often moving stories from inside and outside the U.S., and I’ve begun to put a shape to Voices for 9/11 Truth. Along the way, I’ve come to believe that what we call the 9/11 truth movement is not really a movement per se. It’s something else, something potentially more important, more meaningful, and maybe even more impactful. First, the obvious: we’re not exactly a homogenous group. Yes, there is a shared commitment to prompt a thorough and impartial 9/11 investigation and unravel the sinister mess behind the crime and cover-up, but we’re not linked by bloodlines, gender, age, economic status, or any other common entity. We’re no clearly defined, pre-established group seeking a platform to gain rights or power -- and anyway, we’d be hard pressed to put together a thousand members for a rally, let alone hundreds of thousands. In fact, what I’ve been most struck by in fielding these personal accounts and interacting with the gutsy people behind them is the wide diversity of those who believe that 9/11 was orchestrated from within our government.

• Actress Heather Thomas Latest Celebrity to Question 9/11 - American actress Heather Thomas, known for her role as Jody Banks in the 1981 television series The Fall Guy with Lee Majors, has told Retroality TV that she does not believe flight 77 hit the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. “They said it vaporized, and yet they produced bodies saying that they didn’t vaporize. You can vaporize a two-ton engine? I don’t think so…. No plane does damage like that. It was a bomb.” Heather Thomas: “A lot of people say they closed the Twin Towers for weekends on end (directly before 9/11) and wouldn’t let the security people in there (because they were setting it up for demolition)." Thomas, who played Marilyn Monroe in Hoover vs. the Kennedys, also voiced doubts about the official version of events at the WTC. “And a lot of people say they closed the Twin Towers for weekends on end (directly before 9/11) and wouldn’t let the security people in there (because they were setting it up for demolition).”

• 9/11 relative fights NYC co-op board over flag - A relative of a 9/11 victim is fighting his Brooklyn co-op board, which wants to remove an American flag from his door. Vincent Romano, who's a lawyer, says he put the flag outside his door after his wife's cousin died at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. He says the co-op board has ordered him to remove the flag by Tuesday. Romano says residents were told to keep items off their doors to avoid damaging new paint. But he says the paint job is not relevant in his case because the flag is held up by magnets.

• Nicolas Sarkozy faces anti-EU protests in Ireland - President Nicolas Sarkozy's motorcade took a detour through Dublin's streets to avoid noisy and colourful protests from Irish farmers, fishermen, the far Left and a frog. The French President, who is the current holder of the European Union's rotating presidency, also took evasive action when challenged over his comments, made last week, that Ireland should hold a second referendum. "I never said that Ireland had to organise a new referendum. I said that at some stage, or another, the Irish had to give their opinion," he insisted. "I never said there had to be a referendum. I didn't say on what question there would be a vote. I did not in any way meddle in Irish domestic politics. We do not want to impose anything."

• Jacqui Smith warned by first group to be given ID cards that they will not improve security - The first group of workers to be have compulsory ID cards forced on them have warned Jacqui Smith that the measure will not improve security. Union staff representing airport workers will this week meet the Home Secretary as a matter of "urgency" to discuss their concerns. When ministers announced the plans to phase in compulsory ID cards, airport workers were chosen as the first people to have to carry them.

Saturday 19th July 2008: -

• Metal scans to combat knife crime - POLICE chiefs in South Yorkshire are to use airport-style metal detectors in areas where they suspect people to be carrying guns and knives. Officers have already taken delivery of a number of new scanners. They will be used to support specific police intelligence - if police receive a tip-off about violence at a certain nightclub, for example. The new tool in the war against gun and knife crime was unveiled on the day Home Office figures revealed knife crime across the county went up by 20 per cent last year. The figures show that, of a total of over 145,000 crimes reported to police last year, 381 were classed as "knife crimes".

COMMENTARY: Whatever country this takes place, see how this is just the tip of a massive iceberg (just like everything else we see in the mainstream news!) and read the book 'The Franklin Cover up' by former US Republican Nebraska State Senator John W. Decamp.  Also check out the documentary Conspiracy of Silence which was made by Yorkshire Television in the early 1990's and was suppressed for many years by the American political establishment, now available on Google Video.

• Epilepsy Study Incriminates Aspartame in Medications: by Dr. GLEN MABSON, Phd. Epileptic Foundation of Maui dba Pacific Epilepsy Society - The most profound reason for the spectacular increase in seizures is the inclusion of the drug ASPARTAME in with the new larger sized anti-seizure drugs: DILANTIN, DEPACOAT, TEGRATOL and several others produced by major pharmaceutical corporations. In 2007 the manufacture of Dilantin changed the description of the 100 mg. Dilantin changed the 100 mg white capsule with red stripe to a much larger white capsule, orange on one end, which contains 100 mg of the drug, plus aspartame. 150 people who took the new Dilantin capsule found the seizure rate increased in every case. The Chemical Pharmaceutical Engineer employee, in fear of his job would not reveal his name, but said they were adding aspartame.

• Ministry of Defence admit losing 700 laptops in just four years - DEFENCE chiefs yesterday admitted losing more than 700 laptops in four years - double the figure previously claimed. The MoD said 658 of their computers had been stolen and 89 lost - along with 131 memory sticks. A total of 26 memory sticks containing classified information have either been stolen or misplaced since January alone. The Lib Dems condemned the latest security breaches, which came despite a drive to tighten procedures, as "shocking incompetence". But the MoD insisted their policies were "generally fit for purpose" and said all data losses were fully investigated. The embarrassing new details were disclosed in response to questions tabled in Parliament. Lib Dem MP Sarah Teather said: "It seems that this Government simply cannot be trusted with keeping sensitive information safe."

Friday 18th July 2008: -

COMMENTARY: Two words spring to mind... 'Keystone Cops'.  Seriously though, these guys are here to 'protect' us and want absolute power over us to keep us safe and want/need to have access to all of our private data in order to do so.  Concerned?  Well if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear... right?

• Hospital laptop stolen - A LAPTOP containing personal details of patients has been stolen from Falkirk and District Royal Infirmary. The computer, kept in a locked cupboard which was password protected, includes the names and addresses of 89 audiology patients. The equipment was taken during a break-in at the hospital's audiology unit. NHS Forth Valley says it is working closely with Central Scotland Police but the laptop has still to be recovered.

• 'No decision' on giant database - No decision has been taken to create a huge database containing details of all phone calls, e-mails and internet use, security minister Lord West says. The Information Commissioner has warned that such a database could be a "step too far for the British way of life". Asked in the House of Lords about that warning, Lord West said: "It is very early days as to where we go on this." But the switch from traditional phones meant the "entirely new" communication methods had to be assessed, he said.

• Data watchdog given power to raid: The Information Commissioner's Office is to be given the power to raid government departments to prevent data breaches - Data protection watchdog the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is to be given the ability to raid government departments it suspects of wrongdoing or negligence. Prime minister Gordon Brown today announced that the ICO would be given the power to conduct “spot checks”, in a bid to prevent data breaches on the scale of that suffered by HM Revenues & Customs in November 2007. While the powers do not yet permit the ICO to raid business premises, information commissioner Richard Thomas said “alarm bells must ring in every boardroom”. “For some time, I have been pressing the government to give my Office the power to audit and inspect organisations that process people’s personal information without first having to get their consent,” he said. Thomas also called for large-scale data breaches to be made a criminal, rather than civil, offence – a move that would drastically increase the penalties for such a breach.

• Facebook Bug Leaks Birthday Data - Last week, birthday details of over 80 million FaceBook users were inadvertently exposed due to a bug in the test version of the web site. Sophos Senior Technology Consultant Graham Cluely discovered the bug while he was checking the new Facebook design. He noted that birth dates of some of his very reclusive and privacy-obsessed acquaintances were popping up when actually they should have been hidden.

• Spying uncovered: Documents show state police monitored peace and anti-death penalty groups - Undercover Maryland State Police officers repeatedly spied on peace activists and anti-death penalty groups in recent years and entered the names of some in a law-enforcement database of people thought to be terrorists or drug traffickers, newly released documents show. The files, made public yesterday by the American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland, depict a pattern of infiltration of the activists' organizations in 2005 and 2006. The activists contend that the authorities were trying to determine whether they posed a security threat to the United States. But none of the 43 pages of summaries and computer logs - some with agents' names and whole paragraphs blacked out - mention criminal or even potentially criminal acts, the legal standard for initiating such surveillance. State police officials said they did not curtail the protesters' freedoms.

• UK: Youth football ID card blow - YOUNG footballers will have to arm themselves with ID cards next season - to prove their age and eligibility to play. The new ruling kicks off on September 1 and means that youngsters wanting to play in Devon County Football Association affiliated matches must buy - and carry - an ID card costing £4.50. The ruling - which applies to all age groups and is being operated in other counties - says that youngsters from the age of eight must have a card which has to be available to the opposition coach or match referee in the event of someone questioning a player's age.

• INDIA: Voters without ID card will not be allowed to cast votes - The electorates of Chhattisgarh may not be able to cast their votes without any Photo Identity Card (PIC) in the Assembly polls likely to be held in November. "It will be difficult for any one to vote in the coming Assembly election without any Photo Identity Card," Election Commission (EC) sources told reporters here. After officially starting its election process for formation of the next government in Chhattisgarh on or before December 6, 2008, the EC has also issued several instructions to the state, the sources said. Among the instructions of the Commission are ban in transfer of all officials, including the district collectors, who are engaged in election related works in the state, sources said.

• Fears raised over ‘Big Brother vault’ - A database of everyone's phone calls, texts, e-mails and internet browsing could be a step too far, the government's own privacy watchdog has warned. Richard Thomas said the government's plans to force telecoms and web companies to hand over details was an unreasonable invasion of privacy. Ministers say the proposal is vital for the fight against terrorism and serious crime. 'Sometimes, the best-intentioned plans bring the most insidious threats – where freedoms are not appreciated until it is too late to turn the clock back,' said information commissioner Mr Thomas.

• Taser uses and abuses - Taser use by police has come under legitimate scrutiny in Canada in the past year after several high-profile deaths and reports of excessive use. But amid the controversy, there is a bright spot and it comes from the Ottawa police force. Ottawa police, the first municipal force in Ontario to have Tasers, have largely used them with restraint, according to use-of-force reports dating back eight years. There are still questions to be answered about Taser use across the country, but Ottawa's record suggests that, when used carefully, they may live up to their billing as a useful law enforcement tool that is an alternative to deadly force.

• Caught On Camera: Teen Dies After Shot With Taser Gun: Officer Suspended For 5 Days - A teenager died after being hit with a police Taser gun for 37 seconds, and the whole thing was caught on tape by surveillance cameras. Authorities said that Darryl Turner had been in a confrontation with a supervisor at work at a North Carolina grocery store. When Officer Jerry Dawson arrived, he fired his Taser gun at the 17-year-old and struck him in the sternum. "The initial use of the (Taser gun) is not in question," said Charlotte-Mecklenburg police Chief Ken Miller. However, for 37 seconds, Dawson continued to use the Taser gun against the teen. An autopsy revealed that Darryl Turner died of a heart attack, authorities said.

• Boulder police shoot naked man with Taser: Police say suspect was high on LSD - A man accused of taking LSD, stripping off his clothes and screaming in the middle of a busy intersection Wednesday night became combative when officers arrived and had to be shocked three times with a Taser, according to Boulder police. According to a police report, officers were dispatched to the area of 28th and Iris at about 10:34 p.m. on a report of a nude man who was standing in the middle of the street and screaming. When they arrived, they found Christopher Dornfield, whose age was not immediately available, rolling around on a nearby patch of grass, officers reported. When Dornfield refused to comply with officers’ orders to hold still, he was shot with a Taser, according to the report. He was shocked twice more after he tried to get back on his feet and advanced toward officers, according to police.

COMMENTARY: How is this right?  The use of a DEADLY weapon (and these buggers are indeed deadly) in order to force a suspect into co-operation.  This is not a defensive method.  This is pain compliance and a massive abuse on the public in the form of 'authorities doing what they must to protect us'.  Really, if you can't see this for what it is then you have lost the plot.

• Ashcroft Defends DOJ's Post-9/11 Policies: Former AG: Overruling Controversial Legal Guidance Was 'Not a Hard Decision' - Former Attorney General John Ashcroft told lawmakers Thursday that he fully embraced pushing forward an aggressive counterterrorism policy during his tenure, but that overturning some initial Justice Department legal guidance was necessary after later review. "The administration's overriding goal, which I fully embraced, was to do everything within its power and within the limits of the law — I repeat within the limits of the law — to keep this country safe from terrorist attack," he told the House Judiciary Committee. Ashcroft said that's why he initially approved now-controversial legal guidance on interrogation put forth by former DOJ Office of Legal Counsel official John Yoo in an August 2002 memo.

• Water boarding proved “very valuable” in Guantanamo - Former Attorney General John Ashcroft spoke at the fifth part of a hearing entitled “From the Department of Justice to Guantanamo Bay: Administration Lawyers and Administration Interrogation Rules.” Ashcroft defended the Department of Justice’s action in Guantanamo Bay, saying that they worked within the framework of the law and never supported torture. Ashcroft said that after 9/11, the Bush Administration’s overriding goal was to do everything within its power and within the limits of the law, to keep this country and the American people safe from terrorist attacks. He spoke about the Administration’s efforts to work within the law and follow Supreme Court rulings about torture and interrogations in Guantanamo, and that water boarding was never ruled as torture and has “proved very valuable.”

• WeAreChange confronts Christie Todd Whitman - On September 11, 2001 former NJ governor Christie Todd Whitman was the Environmental Protection Agency Director. The agency issued false statements and declared the air safe to breathe. Here is the former EPA Director’s response to critical questions nearly seven years later.

• Obama Calls For National Civilian Stasi - Presidential candidate wants domestic “security force” as powerful as U.S. military, columnist compares proposal to Hitler Youth - Presidential frontrunner Barack Obama has called for a “civilian national security force” as powerful as the U.S. military, comments that were ignored by the vast majority of the corporate media but compared by one journalist to the Nazi Hitler Youth. “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded,” Obama told a Colorado Springs audience earlier this month. World Net Daily editor Joseph Farah asked if he was the only journalist in America who found Obama’s statement troubling.

Wednesday 16th July 2008: -

• SUV drivers made to park at the back of the store like black people on buses - Government fueled alarmism about global warming - which has not occurred in the last 10 years nor will it occur in the next 10 years - is accelerating the creation of new forms of malthusian control over our lives, with the ultimate goal of identifying those who don’t submit to the whims of the climate cult as second class citizens and enforcing a new manifestation of 1950’s style segregation. The image at the top of this story is from an Office Depot outlet in Austin, Texas. People who drive those evil life-giving gas, plant food spewing, SUV’s are forced to park further away from the entrance to the store as a kind of collective societal punishment for not conforming to the green agenda.

• OFT: Banks make more than £200 a year from each customer - Banks make more than £200 a year from each customer, according to an Office of Fair Trading report, which exposes the myth of free banking for all. The Government watchdog has attacked the banks for their "complex" terms and conditions, which leave customers in the dark about how much they are being charged. As many as 1.4 million people are paying over £500 a year in charges and these customers are frequently 'vulnerable', low income and low saving customers.

• The idea of imposing an indiscriminate curfew on kids is grotesque': I have a distasteful vision of the police riding around the streets of English towns and cities rounding up youngsters' - In the Youth Crime Action Plan, published today by the government, the bit I find the most worrying is not one of the main ones. It's the proposed imposition of curfews, banning children from being outside past a certain time, and punishing parents if they are. The word curfew has, for me, sinister and ominous connotations. Silent, dark streets; prowling soldiers with guns at the ready; the occasional click-clack of hurried footsteps as a hunched figure hurries to safety; a shot is fired, someone is captured - or lies dead. Now that's what I call a curfew.

• CCTV on fire engines to tackle attacks on crews - A new £24,000 CCTV camera system has been introduced to fire engines across the county to protect against attacks on firefighters. The five-month long project to install cameras to record evidence that could be used in court has been funded by Northamptonshire County Council and rolled out to fire engines at stations in The Mounts, Daventry, Long Buckby, Moulton, Mereway, KetterADVERTISEMENT ing, Wellingborough and Rushden. The new technology, which differs from that already used by crews in Corby, starts filming as soon as the fire engine is started and stops recording 30 minutes after the engine is stopped.

• 'Chav' is a weapon of class hatred and should be banned, claims think tank - The word 'chav' is a weapon of class hatred and should be banned, Left-wing academics claim. The Fabian Society believes the term, a common derogatory expression for a brash white working-class person, is offensive. It wants to silence those who use it to describe loutish types in Burberry baseball caps, scraped-back hairdos and clanking fake gold 'bling' jewellery.

• Ventura Blasts Culture That "Cannot Handle The Truth": Former Governor decries corporate media, two party system, highlights disgust at "failed political leadership" - Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura has hit out at a now entrenched culture that "cannot handle the truth" when it comes to the events of 9/11, the war in Iraq, the devastation that has been wrought on the economy and the "failed political leadership" of the last eight years. Ventura spoke exclusively to the nationally syndicated Alex Jones Show yesterday, in an hour long interview that allowed the independent governor to divulge a great deal more than in his later appearance on CNN.

• Registration Extended for 911 Workers and Volunteers to Preserve Right to File Workers' Compensation - Nearly seven years have passed since the twin towers of the World Trade Center collapsed following a terrorist attack into “Ground Zero” devastation. Those who have assisted in the recovery, cleanup and rescue efforts of the World Trade Center destruction, have an extended deadline of August 13, 2008 to register with the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board. The law has been changed to allow the filing of a workers’ compensation claim for those that have a 9/11 related illness. The change also applies to those volunteers and workers who are not sick now, but who may become sick in the future because they were exposed to toxic air following 9/11.

• ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A BRAIN-DEAD NEO-CON USING 9/11 TO PROMOTE THE PHONY 'LEFT VS RIGHT' PARADIGM: Songwriter's 9/11 Image On Billboards Stirs Controversy - Three billboards in the Orlando area that depict New York's World Trade Center in flames with the words "Please Don't Vote for a Democrat" are the work of a St. Cloud songwriter and commercial painter who is marketing his latest song. Mike Meehan doesn't apologize for the in-your-face gripping image that burned itself into the collective memory of Americans who recall the events of Sept. 11, 2001. The billboards went up Sunday, he said, and have already sparked controversy.

• Vanity Fair writer arrested for sneaking into Bohemian Grove - Vanity Fair contributor Alex Shoumatoff faces trespassing charges after apparently trying to sneak into the famous, rich and powerful Bohemian Club’s annual retreat over the weekend. For more than a century, the club has been hosting its secretive summertime retreats up at the 2,700-acre Bohemian Grove. The party atmosphere, however, has been tempered of late by the club’s battle with a fourth-generation member, John “Jock” Hooper, who resigned in 2004 over the Bohemian plan to harvest oak and fir trees from its wilderness.

• Fox News host: 15 year-old detainee ‘maybe deserved’ harsh treatment - Today, lawyers for Canadian national Omar Khadr, a Guantanamo detainee, released an interrogation video from 2003, showing Khadr weeping and begging for better medical treatment. Discussing the video today on Fox News, host Trace Gallagher declared Khadr had killed an American solider — Khadr is accused of throwing a grenade — and so “maybe he deserves” to be tortured.

Tuesday 15th July 2008: -

• 'Big Brother' warning over Government database that records EVERY phone call and e-mail in Britain - A 'Big Brother' database recording every single phone call and e-mail made in Britain would threaten the British way of life, the information watchdog has warned. Information Commissioner Richard Thomas said such a Government-run database would have serious data protection implications. Amid speculation a massive database is already being planned, he declared it would be a 'step too far'.

• Idaho School District Adopts Fingerprint Scanner for Student Lunches - School officials in Nampa say they intend to use a new scanning machine to identify students buying school lunches. The machine should be ready for secondary schools this fall and will replace the more traditional identification cards. Nampa School District Spokeswoman Allison Westfall says the biometric scanner assigns a unique identification to each student's fingerprint. Westfall says students will not be forced to participate. Use of the finger scan has raised privacy concerns in at least one other Idaho school district. But designers of the scanner's software say there is no way for any fingerprint computer or expert to reconstruct a print based on data gathered in schools.

• Report: MI5 Outsourced Torture - MPs are calling for an investigation into allegations that British intelligence has “outsourced” the torture of British citizens to Pakistani security agencies after hearing accounts of people being abducted and subjected to mistreatment and, in some cases, released without charge. John McDonnell, the Labour member for Hayes and Harlington, and Andrew Tyrie, Conservative member for Chichester, say the allegations should be examined by the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC), the Westminster body that oversees the Security Service, MI5, and the Intelligence Service, MI6.

• Ventura: Neo-Cons May Stage Terror To Stay In Power: Former Governor: “Absolutely” danger of false flag as pretext to attack Iran - Former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura warns that Neo-Cons are so desperate to maintain a grip on power that they could stage a terror event in order to create a pretext for attacking Iran. Speaking on the Alex Jones Show before last night’s announcement that he would not be running for U.S. Senate, Ventura said a conflict with Iran was all but inevitable. “I don’t see any way of avoiding it because I think it’s gonna be Bush’s last hurrah,” said Ventura, adding that another war front would only help the Republicans and John McCain.

• Sudan 'will block genocide case' - Sudan has said it will do all it can to block the work of the International Criminal Court, which has accused the nation's leader of genocide in Darfur. President Omar al-Bashir's most senior adviser told the BBC the allegations were designed to generate hostility between tribal groups in Darfur. Ghazi Salaheddin said that if the ICC pursued the case it could jeopardise relations between Sudan and the UN.

• Coca-Cola Says 'Zero' Is Safe In China - Coca-Cola quickly defended itself when rumours started circulating on Chinese Internet that its sugar-free drink Zero is unsuitable for human consumption. Online articles read that the beverage contains an aspartame that is in fact a sugar substitute, alleged to be a neurotoxin which can affect the nervous system. The articles cite headaches, memory decline, epilepsy, vision loss, stupor and cancer as symptoms caused by aspartame. But Coca-Cola China said in a statement that the rumours and articles are groundless. Coke is quoted as saying that “In fact, more than 200 authoritative scientific researches have already proved that aspartame has nothing to do with cancer.”

• Blair pulls out of Gaza visit because of 'feared assassination attempt' - A feared assassination attempt against Tony Blair forced him to cancel a visit to the Gaza strip. Israeli sources said defence minister Ehud Barak advised the former prime minister to stay away from the Hamasruled coastal territory as he could be targeted for attack, according to a Jewish news agency. Mr Blair's office said there had been a "specific security threat" which could have endangered the local community, as well as the visiting dignitaries.

• UK group to portray 9/11 Truth as anarchist/cultists: 9/11 Cultwatch To Speak At Anarchist Studies Network Conference - This September Loughborough University hosts the Anarchist Studies Network conference. Joining in the debates and discussions, to be held between Thursday 4th and Saturday 6th September, will be 9/11 Cultwatch’s Larry O’Hara and Paul Stott.

• WTC 7 Emergency Head Was Building Collapse Specialist - The former New York City chief emergency manager Jerome Hauer, whose office was on the 23d floor of WTC 7, was also a building collapse specialist, according to a recently uncovered New York Times article. Hauer has attracted suspicion from the 9/11 truth movement because of his zeal to push the official story in the hours after the attack when details were still sketchy. Hauer was also Managing Director of Kroll Associates - the company that provided security for the WTC complex on 9/11 - and he also betrayed advance knowledge of the anthrax attacks a week before they happened.

• Doctor is last 9/11 death - A woman doctor last seen near the Twin Towers a day before the 9/11 attacks in 2001 has finally been classified as a victim. The body of Sneha Philip, 31, was never found and no clear evidence links her to Ground Zero in New York. But a state court has now toppled an earlier ruling that she was not a victim of the terror strikes. It is thought she may have died trying to help others. Her mother Ansu, 61, said: "Having to go through this process was terrible." The 9/11 toll is now 2,751.

• Britain urging return to wartime food frugality - Evoking an era of World War II austerity, British families are being urged to cut food waste and use leftovers in a nationwide effort to fight sharply rising global food prices. It's not back to ration books, "victory gardens" or squirrel-tail soup yet, but warning bells are being rung by experts at all levels of Britain's government as well as from the World Food Program.

• Plea after patient data find - CALLS have been made for all abandoned Scottish hospital buildings to be examined, after private patient data was found at a disused site. X-rays marked with patients' names, photographs and other paperwork were found at the derelict Law Hospital in Carluke. NHS Lanarkshire says it is investigating. The finding came to light after Gary Whittle, an amateur photographer, took shots inside the hospital. The latest discovery comes only months after records were found at a disused hospital in Dundee.

• McCain asked about PNAC and 9/11 at town hall - During a town hall event in Portsmouth, OH on Wednesday, John McCain was asked by a member of the audience whether his links to the parent organization of the Project for a New American Century explain why he has been reluctant to support calls for a new investigation of 9/11. The questioner began, "I was curious about a document. Back in September of 2000, the Project for a New American Century, or PNAC, whose members included Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Jeb Bush and Paul Wolfowitz, wrote a document entitled 'Rebuilding Americans Defenses.'" As McCain turned and paced away from him, the questioner continued, "In it, they state, quote, "The process of transformation, even if it bring revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor."

• BBC's Third Tower: 30 Pieces of Good News: by Dr. Kevin Barrett and Rolf Lindgren - The one-hour BBC program The Third Tower should have a positive effect on spreading the truth about what happened to WTC 7. Despite its attempt to debunk by twisting and omitting facts, there is much to cheer about.

• Washington can't live up to standards of 9/11 'truthers' - The late U.S. president Ronald Reagan once remarked that "facts are stupid things." While Reagan's comment was an inadvertent slip of the tongue, too many people remain willing to unblushingly assert their belief in this sort of thinking. Rather like corpse gas, a fresh batch of skewed thinking has lately bubbled up from the depths due to the imminent release of a draft report from the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology on the collapse of 7 World Trade Center during the 9/11 attacks. WTC 7 was not hit by planes, but rather collapsed at 5:20 in the afternoon on the same day after being hit by debris from the fall of the North Tower. Its destruction was not mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report on the attacks.

• Truth Rising: The Movement Finds Its Voice - You won’t be reading about it in the New York Times or seeing it on the billboard at your local multiplex cinema, but 9/11 Chronicles: Truth Rising is causing waves on the Internet with many comparing the documentary to the underground blockbuster Loose Change. At a time when the 9/11 truth movement is both at its most visible and under the most prolonged attack by debunkers, the movie serves as a reminder of what is at the heart of this grass-roots phenomenon - a yearning for justice both for the victims of 9/11 and those people who are still paying the price - the brave rescue heroes and firefighters who are living and dying with debilitating illnesses - having been abandoned by their government many years ago.

• Heart attacks and suicides... yet the dangers were all kept so quiet. So how CAN you trust your medicine? - Few of us would think to question the safety of our prescription drugs. After all, they’ve been developed to make us better. But just how safe are they really — and is the official drug watchdog doing enough to protect us? Last month, for instance, it was revealed that the number of powerful anti-psychotic drugs being prescribed to children had almost doubled in past six years. Yet despite the growing evidence that these drugs can seriously harm children — causing excessive weight gain, a rise in blood pressure, severe lethargy and even lactation — the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency is powerless to limit their use.

• Nicolas Sarkozy pledges to force through EU Treaty: President Nicolas Sarkozy pledged to push through the new European Union's Treaty by the end of the year, warning the EU must not get embroiled in an "institutional soap opera" - In a forceful speech to the European Parliament in which he presented France's priorities during its six-month rotating EU presidency, Mr Sarkozy said: "It is Europe's duty to act right now". He said he would propose a way forward by the end of the year for the Lisbon Treaty after consulting the government of Ireland, where voters rejected it in a referendum last month.

• Gordon Brown refuses to apologise over road tax fiasco - Gordon Brown has rejected demands to apologise to MPs amid accusations from the Conservatives that he misled Parliament over Treasury moves to increase road tax for millions of motorists. The Treasury admitted on Wednesday that more than 9 million motorists will be hit with significant rises in Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) as part of a "green tax" package that will come into effect next year. Many drivers will see their tax rise by more than £200 a year as a result of the plans.

• BBC CONSPIRACY FILES: The Third Tower: A Critical Examination - On July 6, 2008, BBC released a documentary examining the collapse of World Trade Center 7, on September 11, 2001. The film purported to "solve the final mystery" of 9/11 in regards to whether the collapse of the building was due to fire or controlled demolition. The film used interviews of people from both sides of the argument, as well as stock footage and reconstructions to show the viewer the cases to be made for each theory. This is the second film the BBC has created on the subject of alternative theories of 9/11. The film is highly charged and controversial, with emotions running deep. In this review I will attempt to remove the emotional side of the film and simply look at the facts and opinions offered, their validity, and the BBC's attempt to make a "balanced" film.

• Why You Should Be a 9/11 Truther Even if You Don't Believe the Government Carried Out the Attacks: Why even those who don't believe the Government carried out the attacks should support 9/11 truthers - Why you should be a 9/11 truther even if you don't believe the Government carried out the attacks. Let's say you go along with the idea that WTC 7 collapsed because of normal fires, and Hani Hanjour went from an incompetent idiot to a highly skilled pilot, and 9/11 was carried out by 19 arab terrorists working for Osama Bin Laden. You should still join forces with the 9/11 truth movement and here's why.

• Families' fight for 9/11 remains thrown out - A US judge has dismissed a case brought by families of victims of the September 11, 2001, attacks who said New York authorities denied proper burials by sending debris containing possible human remains to a garbage dump. The lawsuit, filed in 2005 by a group called WTC Families for a Proper Burial, sought to have up to 1.8 million tonnes of World Trade Centre rubble transferred out of the Fresh Kills landfill on New York's Staten Island.

• Most Muslim coverage 'negative' - Researchers looking at the way British Muslims are represented by the media say they have found that most coverage is negative in tone. A Cardiff University team behind the study looked at nearly 1,000 newspaper articles from the past eight years. Two-thirds focused on terrorism or cultural differences, and much of it used words such as militancy, radicalism and fundamentalist. The research was commissioned by Channel Four's Dispatches.

• ID cards face UK student scorn: Feedback site voices "creepy" concerns - Young people have condemned ID cards as "illegal" and "creepy" on a website to canvas their views. People aged 16 to 25 have been using the site MyLifeMyID.org, launched today, to discuss the £4.4bn National Identity Scheme (NIS). So far the vast majority of the comments have been against the project. Feedback from the site will be put towards tailoring the biometric card to suit young people's needs when they are offered the cards from 2010. Site forums so far have raised fears about data security and governments abusing the information despite the glowing assessment of the scheme offered by home secretary Jacqui Smith as she launched the site on Wednesday. One comment said: "This government ID data base gives me the creeps." Another asked: "How do we protect our British freedoms and put a stop to this totalitarian scheme to control our identities?"

• Racist Toddlers - The UK is on alert for racist toddlers. And not just the obvious racism like when a toddler sets fire to a cross on someone's lawn, but the more hidden racism like when a toddler says "Yuk!" about foreign foods (my wife never lets me get away with such racism towards the food she makes and will throttle me greatly for any incidents). The question, of course, is how did England become filled with such racist toddlers?

• Terror laws used to count city centre beggars - CONTROVERSIAL "anti-terror" powers have been used to count the number of beggars in Cambridge city centre, the News can reveal. The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA), dubbed the "snooper's charter", was introduced to help stop serious crime and terrorism. However, under the legislation, CCTV was used to tot up how many beggars there were in the city on three separate occasions in the last two years. Sir Simon Milton, chairman of the Local Government Association, recently wrote to all councils to warn them against employing the legislation for "trivial" matters.

• Terror Stopped For Putting My Hand In My Pocket: "YOU. STAND OVER THERE." - This past Sunday night I was subjected to another stark reminder of how far the UK has descended into a total police state when I was stopped on the street by "Police Community Support Officers" for putting my hand in my pocket. After returning to London in high spirits from an excursion to see the great Neil Young play a barnstorming gig at the Hop Farm festival in Kent, I was standing at the bus stop in Trafalgar Square with my girlfriend only to suddenly have the following order barked at me by a goon in a bright yellow jacket: "YOU. STAND OVER THERE." "Excuse me? Are you addressing me?" I replied. "STAND OVER THERE." the man repeated while pointing about 1 metre to his left as his female colleague stood silently staring. "No thanks, I think I'll stay here." I replied. "WE CAN DO THIS THE EASY WAY OR THE HARD WAY." He continued, attempting to assert some form of power over me in his own mind by forcing me to pointlessly move one step away from my current position, while speaking to me in a manner you or I would a dog.

• Ex-spy chief opposes planned new terror laws - The ex-head of Britain's MI5 domestic spy agency said Tuesday she opposes Prime Minister Gordon Brown's plans for tougher new anti-terrorism laws. Making her first speech to the House of Lords since being appointed to Britain's upper legislative chamber last month, Baroness Eliza Manningham-Buller said the government's plans were unnecessary. Manningham-Buller was the head of the domestic security service from 2002-2007 and spent more than 30 years working in British intelligence. Brown wants to increase the time police can hold terror suspects without charging them from 28 days to 42 days. He argues that police officers need the extra time because of the complexity of scouring computers, trawling phone records and following up leads across the globe.

• France terror laws 'flout rights' - France violates human rights in the way it handles terrorism-related cases, a Human Rights Watch (HRW) report says. The pressure group says France uses a catch-all offence to charge suspects even when they have only a vague link to an alleged terrorist organisation. The report also says suspects can face long periods of detention before trial, and some have suffered physical violence during interrogation. HRW says ministers need to take action or risk alienating some communities.

• Bangladesh: Repeal New Terror Law - Bangladesh's new counterterrorism ordinance violates fundamental freedoms and basic fair trial rights and should be repealed or amended to meet international standards, Human Rights Watch said today. The military-backed interim government kept secret the far-reaching provisions of the new law until its adoption on June 11, preventing the public and civil society from commenting on the law's contents.

• X-ray mum 'sacked after falling ill' - A HOSPITAL radiographer claims she was sacked for `whistle blowing' about serious health and safety issues. Ruth Mcauley said she had a condition known as `darkroom disease' through constant exposure to processing chemicals used to develop x-rays. But when she tried to get something done about it, she claims she was bullied, victimised and discriminated against.

• BBC Hit Piece Edits Silverstein Comment In Dirty Tricks Scam - The BBC’s embarrassing attempt to dig itself out of a hole that keeps getting deeper was again exemplified during their latest yellow journalism hit piece on 9/11 truth, in which they played Larry Silverstein’s “pull it” comment but edited out the most important part of the statement, and in doing so changed its context altogether. An army of informed truth activists are almost tripping over each other to point out the gargantuan number of errors, ad hominem smear tactics, bias and shoddy investigative techniques displayed in the program which aired Sunday in the UK. Just one such example concerns WTC complex leaseholder Larry Silverstein’s infamous “pull it” comment which can be viewed in its entirety below with other clips included for context in confirming that the term “pull it” is industry jargon for deliberately demolishing a building.

• WTC 7 isn’t the final mystery, it is one in a row of mysteries - Mike Rudin Spinmaster. Listen! WTC 7 isn’t the final mystery, it is one in a row of mysteries. We do not and will not fall for anyone claiming that the case is solved with the view solely on one point! I just put together the main valid points and hints for an inside job in the last two weeks, points that can not be debunked, as they stand straight for the seventh year after the attacks, and were nearly never touched by “debunkers”. There is no special order in that points, and I’m sure I can add another 200 ones- I’m just not in the mood for deliver hard facts to ignorants. And, BTW, I have sources for all points, valid sources, established sources. It’s no problem to research it.

• COMPLAIN TO THE BBC: We - UK Citizens - pay the BBC via the TV licensing fees, just for them to insult and smear us (yet again) for not accepting the official 9/11 fable.  If you would like to complain to them directly, here is the link to do so.

OUR COMPLAINT: -

I would like to lodge a complaint against Mike Rudin and the BBC for the deeply insulting programme 'The Third Tower' (part of the Conspiracy Files series).

We pay our TV licensing fees to the government whom then pay yourselves - and this is this what we get in return?

This was by no means a fair and balanced piece, in fact it was an all out hit-piece on those who question/doubt the official story of 9/11, engaging in the usual 'Yellow Journalism' that the BBC has long been well known for.

Once again the BBC took the part of government apologist, whilst claiming to be unbiased (give me a break!) and did a poor, false and misleading job of answering the questions that we - the 9/11 truth movement have spent the last seven years asking.

There are already several articles available online rebutting your documentary (links at http://www.911truthskipton.com/news.htm) - I would hope that you take the time to view these.

Thank you for your time.

• Judge dismisses case over 9/11 remains - A U.S. judge on Monday dismissed a case brought by families of victims of the Sept. 11 attacks who said the city denied proper burials by sending debris containing possible human remains to a garbage dump. The lawsuit, filed in 2005 by a group called WTC Families for a Proper Burial, sought to have the estimated 1.2 million to 1.8 million tons of rubble originally from the World Trade Center site transferred out of the Fresh Kills landfill located on New York's borough of Staten Island. The families said the city should move the residue that had been finely sifted multiple times to a more suitable location and have a cemetery created.

• BBC directors' pay hikes defended - The BBC's Director-General defended the decision to award pay rises to the corporation's executive directors despite a year of job cuts and phone-in scandals. Mark Thompson waived his own right to a bonus because of the "scale of disruption and uncertainty" facing BBC colleagues. But nine executive directors did receive bonuses in 2007/08, according to this year's annual report. BBC Vision director Jana Bennett took a total rise of more than £100,000 including her bonus and other benefits, but Mr Thompson said her bonus had been cut because of the fakery scandals involving some BBC TV shows.  (COMMENTARY: Fakery at the BBC?... c'mon get serious!)

• Truckers warn of EU roads 'stealth tax' - European Union plans for new environmental road tolls on top of soaring fuel and food prices are a "stealth tax" on truckers, shops and shoppers, the haulage industry has warned. The European Commission will tomorrow propose new rules to charge operators of heavy good vehicles extra for the noise, congestion and air pollution from their lorries. Under current EU rules trucks are only charged for wear and tear on roads but from 2012 onwards, the Commission wants to pass on to industry environmental costs estimated at £80 billion a year. Jack Semple, Director of Policy at the Road Haulage Association, warned that new costs would hit industry and end up being passed on to consumers.

• EU begins budget discipline procedure against UK - European Union finance ministers started disciplinary budget steps against Britain on Tuesday, saying its deficit was set to exceed the country's fiscal commitments. "The decision on Britain has been adopted," a diplomat said. All 27 EU members have agreed to keep budget deficits below 3 percent of gross domestic product, but the ministers said Britain's shortfall was expected to top the level in the fiscal years 2008-09 and 2009-10.
