UK Parents of unruly children face fines

without comments

Once again the march toward totalitarianism continues in the United Kingdom, with another law that will no doubt be passed without the slightest grunt from its fast asleep populace.

Now parents of ‘unruly’ children will be fined £1,000 ($1,650) if their kids don’t shape up and get in line with the established norms of British society.

A new system of “report cards” – detailing schools’ exam results, attendance records, the amount of sport played and bullying policies – will be created for the first time.

Its amazing to me that the main reason for unruly kids and parents who could care less is conveniently over looked by law makers, as its much easier to ‘band aid’ the result, than to treat the cause.  And the main cause of these issues is of course, POVERTY.

How To Communicate Securely in Repressive Environments

without comments

In today’s technological world, people gladly give away their privacy and freedoms for convenience.  Convenience makes life easier, simpler and more straightforward, but unfortunately it all comes with a price.

Using computers, Cell Phones and GPS units all make daily lives easier, but this is a two way street.  GPS units are not only incredibly useful for knowing where you are, but they are also incredibly useful for “others” to know where you are.

A wonderful site called “irevolution” has sprung up, to give all freedom loving people information on how to balance privacy and convenience.  Or if you are unlucky enough to live in a country where your government is run by imbeciles (Wait! That’s Pretty Much Everywhere), there are detailed instructions on how to communicate securely in an oppressive environment.

An important section which is worth publishing here, is a section on blogs and internet publishing.

Is there a Life On Mars Conspiracy?

without comments

The planet Mars has always held an unusually strong fascination for humanity, and thoughts concerning life and Martians have rattled around mankind’s consciousness since, well… forever?

If there is life on Mars, why cover it up?

Are we talking microbes or walking and talking Martians?  From where I’m standing it could go either way, as it really does look like NASA is holding back some evidence.  And that evidence could be anything from ancient Martian ruins to current microbial life.

‘Some pesky scientists have just pointed out an appalling design error in NASA’s latest attempts to find life on Mars. This is beginning to look like a conspiracy. Does someone not want us to find life on Mars? NASA has tried looking for signs of life on Mars precisely once, in the 1976 Viking mission.

The result was positive. The reason nobody says there is life on Mars is that another experiment, part of the same mission, couldn’t find any carbon-based “organic” chemicals in Martian soil. This, NASA decided, overruled the other result: with no carbon present, there could be no microbes living on or under the surface of Mars.

UK Fingerprinting Children?

without comments

Our allegedly struggling economy is being used as excuse to cut costs in UK schools by having its children fingerprinted?  As crazy as this all my seem, the new fingerprinting scheme which aims to lower school spending by having children, in some cases under 5 years old,  “fingerswip” in and out of class with the aid of biometric registration, is currently in use in many UK schools.

The implications of this scheme are mind blowing, as a persons fingerprints do not change over time, so acquiring the prints from a young child is the best way for law enforcement to pin point future criminals and or out spoken civil rights activists.  Tie this to the UK’s rapidly growing DNA database, mandatory ID cards, and the countless CCTV cameras that watch everything 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week, and you get…

Do I need to go on?

Kennedy demoted Lemnitzer 11/’62, and was assassinated 11/22/’63 (ABC News 05/1/’01)

2: In 1975, President Ford appointed Lemnitzer to the Commission on CIA Activities within the United States (aka the Rockefeller Commission) to investigate whether the Central Intelligence Agency had committed acts that violated American laws.

UK Creating a “tattle-tale” Culture

without comments

The United Kingdom is rapidly becoming the testing ground for all things “Big Brother”, and amazingly its populace could careless.  In a new step to solidify the future of infomat culture in the UK, the Brits are gearing up to train its future workforce to rat out anyone that may appear a little different, as a terrorist.

The scheme which teaches children how to spot these undesirables, is presented in cartoon form on a DVD distributed to Primary Schools in Lancashire, England.

Children will be encouraged to inform on their classmates if they feel other pupils are expressing extremist views.  The video features a talking lion, who explains that a terrorist can look like anyone, and urges children to tell the police, their parents or a teacher if they hear anyone talking about terror related activity.

“The Junior Spies is an organization of children who monitor adults for disloyalty to the Party, and frequently succeed in catching them” – 1984 by George Orwell

Christians Battle over Evolution

without comments

jesus-dinosaurLet the cage match begin!

It looks like Christians are all set to get down and dirty on what it truly means to believe in Jesus and his cronies.

The Discovery Institute – the Seattle-based headquarters of the intelligent design movement has decided that you cannot be a ‘true’ Christian if you do not believe in creationism, and this is apparently at odds with a growing number of Christians who feel that science and faith should not be at odds.

In fact another faction that is pro evolution has sprung up to combat the Discovery Institutes doctrine. The BioLogos Foundation, the brainchild of geneticist Francis Collins, who is also an Evangelical Christian is strongly promoting “theistic evolution” – the belief that God (the prayer-listening, proactive, personal God of Christianity) chose to create life by way of evolution.

I think it’s interesting that the Discovery Institute – which has long argued that intelligent design qualifies as science – seems to have given up the game and acknowledged that their concerns are religious after all. It’s equally interesting that the catalyst doesn’t seem to be someone like Richard Dawkins pushing atheism, but Francis Collins pushing Christianity. Perhaps the Discovery folks realise that Dawkins’s followers are never going to be swayed by intelligent design; Collins, however, might very well cut into their target audience of scientifically-curious evangelicals.

Could there be Zombies in our midst?

without comments

Are all people conscious, are all people self-aware  sentient beings?

Could it be that a  portion of the world population are nothing more than zombies?  Intelligent automatons programmed by natural selection to blend in perfectly, and imitate the rest of us?

Who are these ‘zombies’, and why would they exist?

Have you ever had a conversation with someone concerning a spiritual, metaphysical or philosophical subject, that provokes nothing but a blank stare, or glazed eye reaction?  Thoughts of why we are all here, and what life is all about probably never enter the minds of these people.  Not even a blip on their radar, as their entire mental existence is focused on the material world and its workings.

Bush’s Biblical Prophecy

without comments

It seems that ex-President George Bush’s born again Christian status is being solidified in the latest news leaked from his presidential period.  It is  revealed that during George Bush’s time as President, that the Iraq war had a strong ‘religious’ fervor behind its inception, and that Bush believed that the Iraqi confrontation was:

“… willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people’s enemies before a New Age begins”.

The news leak concerning the ex-Presidents apparent religious belifes, and his fasination with the End Times and New Age, also reveals some telling syncronisities concerning his days at Yale and the reason for the war.

In 2003 while lobbying leaders to put together the Coalition of the Willing, President Bush spoke to France’s President Jacques Chirac. Bush wove a story about how the Biblical creatures Gog and Magog were at work in the Middle East and how they must be defeated.

In Genesis and Ezekiel Gog and Magog are forces of the Apocalypse who are prophesied to come out of the north and destroy Israel unless stopped.

There is a curious coda to this story. While a senior at Yale University George W. Bush was a member of the exclusive and secretive Skull & Bones society. His father, George H.W. Bush had also been a “Bonesman”, as indeed had his father. Skull & Bones’ initiates are assigned or take on nicknames. And what was George Bush Senior’s nickname? “Magog”.
