Young mums: 'Not having a baby takes intelligence and planning'
(Picture posed by model)
Last week, an intriguing proposition was mooted by Government
minister Dawn Primarolo.
Teenage girls, she said, could be steered towards what is described
as "long-term contraception".
This is now possible thanks to the development of contraceptive
jabs and implants which can last up to five years.
In other words, there is a way of effectively sterilising girls for
a lengthy period of time.
At what age? Well, doesn't 12 until 17 sound rather sensible?
This would have the advantage of bringing down the teenage
pregnancy rate, so high in this country it makes us a disgrace
among the nations - the worst offenders in Europe.
The abortion rate would fall sharply. And silly young girls could
get on with the education that is meant to produce serious,
responsible taxpayers, not benefit recipients.
Now, many people will see this modest proposal as little short of
horrific - nothing less than state interference in our reproductive
lives.
But think about it: it might not be such a bad idea.
We are moving into a science fiction age in which life itself can
be created in a test tube, and it seems that, before long, perfect
babies could be bred at will, largely free of hereditary disease
and illness.
So, in my view, there is little point any more in feeling
shock-horror at the idea of mass sterilisation.
Neither do I believe it will encourage "promiscuity" because girls
will feel they have nothing to fear in sleeping around. In truth,
they seem to be doing that already. I'm afraid we are now in a time
when sex is mere recreational pleasure to thousands of young
women.
The trouble is that pregnancy no longer holds the fear for
teenagers it once did. The social stigma has gone.
Indeed, for many, it seems, a child has actually become a kind of
perverse badge of honour.
Obviously, there are millions of sensible young girls, but for
many, having a baby seems to be the logical, and even desirable,
result of their teenage flings.
It it wasn't, they'd stir themselves to do something to prevent
themselves getting pregnant, like taking the morning-after
pill.
But they don't. Because the benefits of doing nothing to stop it
are obvious.
Suddenly, they can give birth to someone who will offer
unconditional love in a bleak, busy, money-grubbing world.
The council will offer a free home away from nagging parents. They
will have independence, sexual freedom and no more humiliating
exams to try to pass - because, more than likely, their education
will fall by the wayside.
Nowadays, ask some girls why they want a baby so badly and they
will say vaguely: "Oh, I want to fulfil myself."
Once, they would have confidently said of the father: "I love him.
And I want a bit of me, a bit of him, to go on for all
eternity."
It's not like that any more. Love is seen as little more than a
neurotic dependency to the young.
The fear of pregnancy used to stop girls having sex. To be pregnant
and unmarried was a major life disaster (as it is still in some of
our ethnic communities.)
You were disgraced, soiled goods: the child was removed, no one
would marry you.
I had a great aunt locked up for life in an asylum from the age of
20 until she died. She had been declared a "moral imbecile" because
she had a baby out of wedlock.
My mother tried to rescue her - but to no avail. The rest of the
family was against it. After 30 years, she was so
institutionalised, anyway, that she didn't want to leave.
This condemnation of the sexually imprudent was not meant to be
unkind. People were poor, babies without fathers suffered and there
was no way women could earn money if they had a child.
It was a moral issue but the stigma was born out of necessity: a
desperate attempt to stop girls from doing what came naturally
until a father and a home could be provided.
But for all that, unwelcome babies went on being born - the human
impulse to procreate being what it is.
How to have sex without getting pregnant was in those days a real
mystery. Now we know everything there is to know about preventing
babies, yet still girls take risks.
Understanding how the body works and what happens next seem to make
no difference.
Currently, our teenage pregnancy rate is twice as high as in
Germany, three times as high as in France and six times as high as
in the Netherlands.
Is this because, in this country, getting pregnant while still at
school has become a status symbol for the girls, as ASBOs have for
the boys?
In spite of all the efforts of the Government's Teenage Pregnancy
Unit, and millions of pounds spent on initiatives to persuade girls
that having babies young is a bad, bad thing, the rates stay
sky-high.
In 2005, there were 39,804 conceptions by under-18s in England - a
rate of 41.3 per thousand.
The trouble for those who would tackle the pregnancy problem is
that the very act of warning against pregnancy can be
unproductive.
A certain proportion of teenagers like to defy fate - and the more
you warn them not to smoke, drink, have sex, stay up late, join
gangs, the more they will.
Defying authority, not doing what you're told, is, for many, part
of growing up - the search for your own identity, a necessary
preparation for leaving the nest. Persuasion doesn't work. The
instinct to rebel goes too deep.
Boys have always wanted to have sex and notch up "scores" on the
bedpost.
The trouble now is that the girls - who once wanted just to be
loved by someone, anyone - are under intense peer pressure, don't
want to be outdone or be seen to be 'square', and so behave like
the boys.
So much for gender equality in the classroom!
It seems that many of today's girls just like being pregnant, and
emotionally and physically - not just practically - have more to
gain than lose if they are. Sex education hasn't helped, and may
indeed have harmed.
Freud's view of the psychosexual development of the child has been
ignored. His opinion was that you interfere with the "latency"
phase of ages nine to 12 at your peril, for fear of stopping
further development.
In Freud's theory, the latency phase is when a child unconsciously
denies the facts of life until he or she is ready to face them. If
unpalatable facts are forced down the child's throat it's
traumatising, and progression to sexual maturity is halted.
In other words, if you start teaching the birds and the bees too
early, all that the nine, ten or 11-year-olds will do is want to
experiment with what they have been taught before they have the
emotional capability to deal with the fallout.
The Government says it has tried everything to stop pregnancy rates
rising - from school matrons to a blizzard of sex education, to
free condoms and morning-after pills.
But it's not working. That's why I think sterilising girls for a
few years isn't such a bad idea after all - and, when you think
about it, it's a tempting solution for the State, too.
Once you stop your under-20s having babies, there's no end to the
social improvements you could make.
If girls go on to college instead of minding babies, fewer children
overall will be born. The more educated a girl, the fewer babies
she is likely to have - education and fertility rates being in
inverse proportion.
The maternity services, now so very over-stretched, would be better
able to cope. Young mothers would not have the priority they now do
when it comes to housing, and accommodation would be set free for
those unfortunates clamouring on the waiting lists.
Education would benefit, too. Classrooms would be less plagued by
fatherless lads whose ambition it is to cause nothing but
trouble.
I suppose there are other ways we could try to tackle the problem.
We could make it a lot less convenient for girls to get into
trouble - and one obvious way is to overhaul the benefits
system.
When it comes to receiving welfare, girls of 16 are treated as
adults (though legally they can't vote or drink), and their parents
have no legal obligation to house or support them.
If they won't or can't, then the State must. Putting that age up by
a year or two might work wonders.
Then again, the recent law that allows a mother to claim benefits
only until her child is six could be repealed because at present it
can only encourage her to have another baby in order to keep on
claiming benefits. And who wouldn't?
"Getting a job" sounds good - but what kind of local minimum wage
job is the unfortunate mother likely to get anyway?
Theory and practice are so different. Another issue is that though
many young girls "love babies", they dislike the children they grow
up to be. Rearing a child is a lot more difficult than "having a
baby".
Watch young mothers slap their troublesome offspring in the
supermarket and see what I mean. Because you wanted a baby does not
mean you wanted a child - with its separate, possibly difficult
personality.
So the children of teenage mothers can suffer, too.
Not having babies takes intelligence, planning, prudence and boring
appointments with doctors. The morning-after pill helps, but still
means an inquisition from your friendly (or not-so-friendly)
neighbourhood pharmacist.
So what do we do? Deprive potential children of life by sterilising
a few hundred thousand girls society has decided are "too young" to
breed, regardless of their biological capabilities?
Go for the quality of child they might produce in their 20s or 30s,
rather than the quantity they could create if they start at 14?
That, let's face it, is what's up for discussion.
There is, I admit, a dreadful gender unfairness in the suggestion
that teenage girls should be sterilised. Shouldn't boys under 17
have their tubes tied, too? It takes two to make a baby.
What's sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. Perhaps
the Government should start thinking about how that would work.
I wonder what birthday cards for 18-year-olds will look like in
future? "I've got the key of the door, never been able to breed
before!"
Since science has now devised a way of stopping girls getting
pregnant without damaging their longterm reproductive health, the
idea of enforcing sterility on girls under 17 seems to me a least
worst option.

AUSTIN (Reuters) – An apparently disgruntled man crashed a small
plane into a federal building housing U.S. tax offices in Austin,
Texas on Thursday in what local officials said was likely a
deliberate attack.
Two people were taken to the hospital after the crash that set
ablaze the seven-story building, Austin fire officials said. The
pilot, identified by law enforcement sources as Joseph Andrew
Stack, was found dead.
The incident renewed fears of domestic terrorism and gaps in
security for private aircraft. The White House said it had no
reason to believe there was a link to foreign terrorism and that
President Barack Obama was briefed on the situation.
It was probably "a deliberate attack by one individual acting
alone," Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo said, downplaying the
threat of more attacks.
U.S. Representative Michael McCaul of Texas called it "a deliberate
and intentional attack against a federal building."
A rambling note posted on the Internet and signed "Joe Stack"
spelled out problems he had with the Internal Revenue Service tax
agency. A law enforcement source said authorities were
investigating the note.
"Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let's try something different; take
my pound of flesh and sleep well," the note said. It was not
possible to independently determine the authenticity of the note,
dated February 18, or its authorship.
Here is my take on it.
So a small plane hit a smaller sized building today. The obvious
observation is that it cause more damage to the building, then the
damage that building 7 took in the September 11 attacks (that no
plane hit). But this building is still standing and building 7 is
not. There is no evidence of molten metal in or under this building
either.
While I write this I have CNN on the TV. Anderson Cooper is
speaking with some other lady discussing that they have "evidence"
that this man worked on his online post over several days, and
there must be some way that they can watch for things like this
online. So they can Identify these people before they do these kind
of actions.
Hmmmm hinting towards Internet censorship a little? Using this
event to filter online communications to keep us safe??
Times online has even starting to link this to the tea party
movement. In this article (that mentions nothing about the tea
party) they explain the events that happened in Austin today. Right
in the middle of 2 paragraphs explaining who this man was there is
a link: (See the making of the Tea Party movement.). coincidence??
I think not!!
I am also seeing reports that there was hazmat teams, and the local
fire department right across the street from the building. Maybe
they were doing a training program but I doubt it.
With things like this being so evident already. We will be feeling
the effect from this somehow. It is hard to pin point how yet, but
we will have are eyes wide open watching for it!

Junior Foreign Affairs minister Peter Kent is suggesting Canada
stands ready to throw its full military weight behind Israel,
telling a Toronto publication that “an attack on Israel would be
considered an attack on Canada.”
His office says Mr. Kent, the minister of state for Foreign Affairs
of the Americas, was merely “paraphrasing” what Stephen Harper has
said in the past regarding Israel.
“It’s not too far from what the [Prime Minister] has said,” Norm
McIntosh, Mr. Kent’s chief of staff, told The Globe.
But the junior minister’s statement would appear to be evidence
that the Harper government is shifting to an ever more solidly
pro-Israel stance.
Mr. McIntosh declined to confirm whether this means that Canada
would automatically declare war on an aggressor that attacked
Israel.
In an interview published in Shalom Life, dated Feb. 12, Mr. Kent
said: “Prime Minister Harper has made it quite clear for some time
now and has regularly stated that an attack on Israel would be
considered an attack on Canada.”
Mr. McIntosh pointed to Mr. Harper’s statements from May, 2008,
marking the 60th anniversary of Israel, where the Prime Minister
said: “Our government believes that those who threaten Israel also
threaten Canada, because, as the last world war showed,
hate-fuelled bigotry against some is ultimately a threat to us all,
and must be resisted wherever it may lurk.”
“In this ongoing battle, Canada stands side-by-side with the State
of Israel, our friend and ally in the democratic family of
nations,” Mr. Harper said. “We have stood with Israel even when it
has not been popular to do so, and we will continue to stand with
Israel, just as I have always said we would.”

Illustrating once again that the prison planet being built around
us far outstrips anything Aldous Huxley or George Orwell ever
imagined, a Wired News report details how police forces worldwide
are preparing to unveil drone aircraft that can not only conduct
surveillance of protesters, but also zap them into submission with
non-lethal weapons.
As part of their ongoing mission to “protect and serve” the new
world order, cops across the world are getting access to military
drones which allow them to “carry out surveillance on everyone from
protesters and antisocial motorists to fly-tippers,” reports Wired
News.
The report details how the future of policing will resemble
something approaching a combination of They Live and The Running
Man, with unmanned drones replacing police helicopters whizzing
around everywhere torturing and knocking out anyone who
misbehaves.
According to the report, this is a natural progression from CCTV
cameras that shout at passers-by, currently deployed in several UK
cities, only now drones will be fitted with LRAD acoustic devices,
torture sound weapons that were indiscriminately used and abused
during the G20 summit in Pittsburgh on innocent members of the
public who were just walking down the street and had not even dared
to engage in the criminal activity of expressing their First
Amendment right to assemble.
“The LRAD has been tested on the Austrian S-100 unmanned
helicopter, and the technology is ready if there is a police
requirement,” states the article.
Also available to police will be a drone that can fire tear gas as
well as rubber pellets to disperse anyone still living under the
delusion that they were born in a democratic country.
“French company Tecknisolar Seni has demonstrated a portable drone
armed with a double-barrelled 44mm Flash-Ball gun,” states the
report. “Used by French special police units, the one-kilo
Flash-Ball resembles a large calibre handgun and fires non-lethal
rounds, including tear gas and rubber impact rounds to bring down a
suspect without permanent damage — “the same effect as the punch of
a champion boxer,” claim makers Verney-Carron.”
Of course the fact that the Flash-Ball devices have caused
“permanent damage” in the form of head injuries is glossed
over.
Another option will be a mini-flying saucer drone fitted with a
Taser gun, primed to shoot 50,000-volts into anyone who refuses to
bow down at the feet of global government.
“Taser stun guns are now so light (about 150 grams) that they could
be mounted on the smaller drones. Antoine di Zazzo, head of SMP
Technologies, which distributes tasers in France, says the company
is fitting one to a small quad-rotor iDrone (another quad-rotor toy
helicopter), which some have called a “flying saucer”.
Since police routinely use Tasers as a method of “pain compliance,”
ie torture, and not in genuinely threatening situations, abuse of
the devices is widespread in every country that has introduced
them. Since June 2001, over 350 people have died in the United
States after being hit with these “non-lethal weapons”. Imagine how
incidents of abuse would skyrocket once the personal element of
using a Taser is removed and they are strapped to marauding
surveillance drones, eliminating any responsibility for deaths and
injuries that occur.
Why not just equip the drones with hellfire missiles and have done
with it? Now it’s admitted that the authorities treat any
dissenter, any protester, anyone who questions the system, even
anyone who takes a photograph in public as a terrorist, why not
just blow us all away like they do to “insurgents” in
Afghanistan?
The fact that every one of these fascistic and futuristic tools of
enslavement is being primed to be used mainly against protesters
only confirms that the police state is not coming, it’s not some
future threat, it’s here in 2010 – we’re living in a world that
does not tolerate dissent against its overlords, we’re truly living
on a prison planet.

The Tea Party movement is now almost completely unrecognizable from
what it was a few short years ago. It came to prominence in 2008
when the Libertarian Party of Illinois planned to hold an April 15,
2009 anti-tax “Boston Tea Party” in Chicago. In February 2009, the
idea grew after CNBC personality Rick Santelli, speaking from the
floor of the Chicago stock exchange, criticized the Obama
administration’s tax and economic policies and urged Americans
become Tea Party activists.
Establishment Republicans plan to run Sarah Palin as the Tea Party
presidential candidate.
In fact, the idea began as the Boston Tea Party in 2006. It was
founded by a group of former Libertarian Party members who
criticized the party for its “abdication of political
responsibilities,” declaring that “Americans deserve and
desperately need a pro-freedom party that forcefully advocates
libertarian solutions to the issues of today.” The Boston Tea Party
opposed statism at all levels. “The Boston Tea Party supports
reducing the size scope and power of government at all levels and
on all issues, and opposes increasing the size, scope and power of
government at any level, for any purpose.”
How things have changed.
It didn’t take long for establishment Republicans to steal the idea
and claim it as their own. A few weeks after Rick Santelli made his
comments, Ron Paul’s media coordinator Steve Gordon went on MSNBC’s
Rachel Maddow show and complained about what he characterized as an
attempt by Republicans to hijack the idea. Gordon specifically
blamed former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Arkansas
governor Mike Huckabee.
It didn’t take long for Republicans to embrace the idea. RNC
Chairman Michael Steele, Sarah Palin, and Rep. Michele Bachmann
from Minnesota have suggested the Tea Party should be rolled into
the Republican Borg hive.
Now there will be a national Tea Party convention in Nashville. It
will be a parade of Republican statists with former Alaskan
governor Sarah Palin leading the charge. “I look forward to meeting
many Americans who share a commitment to limited government, common
sense and personal responsibility. This movement is truly a
grassroots, organic effort. It’s not a top-down organization,”
Palin wrote for USA Today, “it’s a ground-up call to action that
already has both political parties rethinking the way they do
business.”
Ground-up? Tea Party candidates for the 2010 mid-term elections
“will be expected to support the Republican National Committee
platform,” according to Fox News. “If a particular candidate meets
the proposed Tea Party criteria he or she would be eligible for
fundraising and grassroots Tea Party support.”
“Once elected to office, members would be required to join a
Congressional Tea Party Caucus, attend regular meetings and be held
accountable for the votes they cast. Those who stray from the Tea
Party path would risk losing it’s support and a likely re-election
challenge.”
In other words, business as usual. Under the rule of George W. Bush
and the Republicans, “inflation-adjusted spending on the combined
budgets of the 101 largest programs they vowed to eliminate in 1995
has grown by 27 percent, according to the libertarian Cato
Institute. Eight years of a Republican president, six with a
Republican-controlled Congress, resulted in bigger government, the
biggest expansion of entitlements in 40 years and a $700 billion
bailout of Wall Street that continues to grow,” writes Donny
Ferguson of the Libertarian National Committee.

Come each April 1, John Gorman shakes his head and throws away the
brown envelope marked Revenue Canada. He has only filed his federal
taxes twice since 1980.
“I’m anything but part of the system,” he said. “We were trained to
pay taxes. The taxman is illegal.”
The former Newmarket lawyer broke away from the conventional tax
sentiment. He put his dislike of the government taking from his
pocket and posted them for all Canadians to read.
“Everyone is sucked in,” he said. “About 99 per cent have no idea
about what’s going on.”
Mr. Gorman created the Marvel-like CAPtain Canada, decorated in red
and white superhero getup and cape.
He uses historical data and legal logic to fight the evil powers of
the taxman. After the First World War, the federal government asked
to use the provincial right to impose a direct tax on citizens
because the war debt was so huge. The government promised to stop
income taxes after the debt was paid, Mr. Gorman said.
“Collecting income tax by the federal government is not
legislated,” he said. “Everyone’s paying a voluntary tax.”
His website is a collection of anti-tax articles and financial
predictions, some of which have already taken place.
In 1983, when he was canvassing on behalf of farmers, he wrote his
future predictions for the world market. He said there would be a
war with many parties in the Middle East.
After a few years, a depression would hit North America that would
be worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s. But his prediction
was off by two years.
The war in the Middle East would start in 2000, he said.
“But it’s happening. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,” he
said.
“And just look at the housing market in the States. They’re walking
us into a depression.”
By “they” he means the government and the banks through the
collection of taxes and interest rates.
Mr. Gorman suggests selling your home, if you owe more than 75 per
cent in mortgage, stock up on food and water and start to buy small
denominations of gold and silver.
The deepest part of the depression, he predicts, will hit before
2010. But, more importantly, stay close to friends and family.
“I want to be here to help my kids and grandkids through the
Depression,” he said.

International arrest warrants have been requested for George W.
Bush, Richard (Dick) Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Tenet,
Condoleeza Rice and Alberto Gonzales at the International Criminal
Court, The Hague, Netherlands.
Professor of Law Francis A. Boyle of the University of Illinois
College of Law in Champain, United States of America, has issued a
Complaint with the Prosecutor for the International Criminal Court
against the above-mentioned for their practice of “extraordinary
rendition” (forced disappearance of persons and subsequent torture)
in Iraq and for criminal policy which constitutes Crimes against
Humanity in violation of the Rome Statute which set up the ICC.
As such, the Accused (mentioned above) are deemed responsible for
the commission of crimes within the territories of many States
signatories of the Rome Statute, in violation of Rome Statute
Articles 5 (1)(b), 7 (1)(a), 7 (1)(e), 7 (1)(g), 7(1)(h), 7(1)8i)
and 7(1)(k). Despite the fact that the USA is not a signatory
State, the ICC has the jurisdiction to prosecute under Article 12
(2)(a) of the Rome Statute.
This Article stipulates that the Court may exercise its
jurisdiction if one or more States in which the conduct in question
occurred has accepted the jurisdiction of the Court. Furthermore,
the forced disappearance of persons and torture in deemed by the
Rome Statute as a Crime against Humanity, one which is still
ongoing.
The Exercise of Jurisdiction may be activated under Article 13,
with respect to a crime committed under Article 5 if the Prosecutor
has initiated an investigation. Professor Boyle, in his issue of
complaint, respectfully requested that such an investigation be
initiated.
The issue of complaint states “about 100 human beings have been
subjected to enforced disappearances and subsequent torture by the
Accused”, adds that some of them could still be alive today, and
that an investigation could save these lives. Regarding those whose
enforced disappearances led to their deaths, the Complaint requests
a process of explanation and clarification for what would be a
murder investigation.

A Langara College student says she was shocked to be approached
outside class by Olympic security officers and questioned about her
friendship with a high-profile opponent of the 2010 Winter
Games.
Danika Surm says she has nothing to do with the Olympic resistance
movement, and her only connection is a friendship with protester
and UBC professor Chris Shaw.
Surm said she was on her way to class at the south Vancouver campus
last week when she was approached by two plainclothes police
officers with the Integrated Security Unit, the force in charge of
Olympic security.
She told them she had to write a biology quiz, so the officers said
they would wait until she was done, she said.
When she came out of the classroom, the two officers questioned her
about her friendship with Shaw, who teaches neuroscience at the
University of British Columbia, and what she knew about his plans
to protest against the Olympics in February.
Surm said the intimidating tactics have made her consider taking
part in anti-Olympic protests.
"I can tell you that this is actually probably going to do exactly
what they didn't want, which is trigger me to be more interested in
making sure we are able to express our feelings in public, in a
safe, but you know, an open manner," Surm said.
She wants to know how the security officers tracked her down and
knew her cellphone number and class schedule.
"I just think it shows the degree of paranoia that the police and
the City of Vancouver are reaching about the Olympics, and also the
breach in civil rights and privacy that is going on," she said.
Officers visit professor's ex-wife
Shaw himself isn't surprised Surm was approached. The same thing
happened to his ex-wife last week, he said, even though the two
haven't been married for 15 years.
"When they are starting to surveil and visit people who have really
only a secondary connection, then they are dealing with the entire
thing as if they are dealing with a criminal investigation," Shaw
said Tuesday.
"If the [security unit] thinks they have a criminal investigation
on their hands, they should come clear with this and let the public
know. They should let me know."
The Integrated Security Unit has not yet been reached for
comment.
Opponents of the Games have been complaining for months that they
and their families, friends and employers are being harassed and
intimidated by the security unit.
In June, a group called the Olympic Resistance Network sent a
lawyer's letter demanding the unit end what the group calls abusive
and unlawful conduct against members.

Authorities have quietly reversed the official story behind the
Christmas Day underwear bomber attack and acknowledged that an
accomplice was involved, despite weeks of denial and derision of
eyewitness Kurt Haskell’s description of a sharp-dressed man who
helped Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab board Flight 253 in
Amsterdam.
Buried in the last two paragraphs of a story about alleged female
suicide bombers coming from Yemen, an ABC News report contains the
following bombshell.
“Federal agents also tell ABCNews.com they are attempting to
identify a man who passengers said helped Abdulmutallab change
planes for Detroit when he landed in Amsterdam from Lagos,
Nigeria.”
“Authorities had initially discounted the passenger accounts, but
the agents say there is a growing belief the man have played a role
to make sure Abdulmutallab “did not get cold feet.”
Detroit lawyer Kurt Haskell maintained from the beginning that he
saw a well-dressed Indian man aid the accused bomber to board the
plane despite the fact that he had no passport and was on a terror
watch list.
“While Mutallab was poorly dressed, his friend was dressed in an
expensive suit, Haskell said. He says the suited man asked ticket
agents whether Mutallab could board without a passport. “The guy
said, ‘He’s from Sudan and we do this all the time,’” reported the
Michigan Live news website.
FBI agents interviewed Haskell and he told them about the
sharp-dressed man but officials refused to admit that a wider
conspiracy was at hand, stoically maintaining the official story
that Abdulmutallab had acted alone. Authorities claimed that
videotapes did not show a second man accompanying Abdulmutallab and
yet they refused to release any footage of the alleged bomber.
“Why is this not total breaking news?” asks Haskell’s wife on their
family blog. “I think we now know WHY the video is not being
released. Because IT SHOWS WHAT KURT SAID!!!!!! I mean, where is
his apology? Where? They come out in the media, basically calling
Kurt a liar, then they take it back, but it is in the bottom of
another nonrelated article. Ridiculous. And still, to date, no
authorities contacting KURT to ask him to look at the freaking
video and help identify the guy. It’s so insane to me. We have an
eyewitness to this, and they just don’t care.”
There seems little doubt that Abdulmutallab had at least one
accomplice if not more. Authorities have remained silent on other
eyewitness reports which described a man intently filming the
alleged terrorist throughout the whole flight, a connection that
strongly suggests the attempted bomber was involved in some kind of
drill and that his strings were being pulled by people in more
senior positions.
In addition, Flight 253 passengers reported seeing a third man
connected to the incident being handcuffed by FBI agents after
sniffer dogs found something suspect in his luggage. After
initially denying any knowledge of this individual, authorities
were forced to acknowledge his existence but claimed he had nothing
to do with the attempted attack, completely contradicting multiple
eyewitness accounts that state passengers were moved from a waiting
area after it was made clear to them that a bomb had been
found.
The fact that Abdulmutallab’s accomplices were all described as
being Indian in appearance would contradict the story that has been
spun around the issue in an effort to sell the public on naked body
scanners in airports as well as deeper U.S. military involvement in
Yemen.
The ludicrous spectacle of long-deceased boogeyman Osama bin Laden
apparently claiming responsibility for the attempted attack this
past weekend only confirmed that a fairytale was being contrived
which was totally at odds with what eyewitnesses described.
Now that Haskell’s eyewitness account has been vindicated, it
remains to be seen whether evidence of a wider conspiracy will be
investigated or buried. There seems little doubt that the latter
will be the case if Abdulmutallab’s accomplices don’t conveniently
lead back to the Al-Qaeda patsies the establishment has already
framed for the attack.

The updated numbers from the Ukraine Ministry of Health website
indicates the number dead have now topped 1000. The 1005 fatalities
reported on Tuesday is 9 higher than Monday's total, with 153 in
Donetsk, which is 5 higher than the previous day. Alrhough the
infection rate in Dontsk is below the epidemic threshold, the
continuing increase in fatalities raises concerns that H1N1 with
D225G/N in Ukraine is becoming more common.
An earlier isolate from Ukraine with D225G was classified as a low
reactor, indicating the ferrent reference anti-sera produced a
titer at least 4 four lower than the vaccine. This reduced titer
raises concerns that D225G will offer a selective advantage in a
population developing protective antibodies. The decline in cases
across the Ukraine increases those concerns because the reduction
in wild type receptors reduces the competing viral genomes. The 153
deaths in Donetsk is 50% higher than the second highest Oblast
(Lviv with 103 deaths), which increases concerns of fatal variants
in eastern Ukraine, along the border with Russia.
More information on deaths on the Russian side of the border would
be useful.

Along with many others, we have warned everyone that we could about
this scam. But unfortunately many people did not listen and branded
us as "conspiracy theorist". Maybe people will learn to do some
more research for themselves, before they laugh at good hearted
people that are trying to help them.
How many times do us crazy tinfoil wearing hat conspiracy
theorist's have to be right, to get peoples attention?

A German television program's demonstration of full body scanners
revealed that the controversial security devices may be able to
make out such intimate details as breast implants, but can fail to
detect bomb-making components.
In the TV broadcast, the scanner, which produces x-ray images so
graphic it's been likened to 'virtual strip-searching,' caught the
person's cell phone and Swiss Army knife, but missed a variety of
objects hidden around his person that could be used to create and
detonate a bomb.
Schneier on Security observes,
Admittedly, he only faced the scanner from the front and not from
the side. But he also didn't hide anything in a body cavity other
than his mouth -- I didn't think about that one -- he didn't use
low density or thinly sliced PETN, and he didn't hide anything in
his carry-on luggage.
The revelation that the scanner has overlooked potentially
dangerous artifacts comes at around the 2:07 mark in the video
below.
Schneir on Security concludes, "Full-body scanners: they're not
just a dumb idea, they don't actually work."
Gizmodo's take: "full-body scanners are equal parts creepy and
ineffective, the end."
Yet others have defended the devices, believing that can prevent
passengers like the 'underwear bomber' from getting through airport
security.
