Do you think the cops are there to protect you from criminals?
Do you think judges are there to give you justice?
Do you think lawyers are there to protect your freedoms?
Do you think legal aid is paid to poor litigants?
Do you think bailiff's act legally when stealing men's homes?
Do you think social workers are there to protect your children?
Do you think politicians are there to ensure your welfare?
Do you think local authority chiefs are there to provide you with services?

Do you think the media are there to enlighten you?
Do you think teachers are there to educate your children?
Do you think the armed forces are there to protect your security?
Do you think regulators are there to ensure all of the above stay in line?

If you have been reading and watching the complicit media for most of your life you likely have been brainwashed into believing all of the above, when in fact many are criminals or forced to act in a criminal way for their masters. They only get away with murder to protect the self appointed elite pulling the strings of their satanically controlled duped goons who act ONLY in the interests of the psychopathic madmen and women running the world while living in VAST OPULENCE.

You might also believe that the latest credit crunch is affecting everybody, but look closely at the facts and you will see there is a tier of privileged individuals who NEVER suffer during controlled recessions. In fact they PROSPER while millions struggle to survive the sudden changes of fortune brought about by the few at the top deciding to rein in the pittance they provide in sustenance to the masses, primarily to stop any major dissent from their form of enslavement and tyranny . For centuries these few scum bags have been getting away with absolute murder turning generation upon generation of our forefathers into slaves for the ultra-wealthy. Unless we stop them now future generations will suffer in the same devious world they claim is some sort of civilized society. They have required a massive propaganda machine to get away with this for so long, but by the day that machine is grinding to a halt in the mass exposure of the monstrous evil they have been getting away with.

Do not be fooled by the fancy clothes and ancient traditions, these mobsters have been using subtle and devious tricks of the trade , disguised as some sort of esoteric knowledge, or so they claim, while using thuggery , bullying and abuse to persecute anyone who steps outside their masonic bubble. These maniacs and psychopaths have been raping and murdering in endless wars created to keep us all in fear and in our lowly place.
THEY ONLY HAVE THAT POWER AS LONG AS WE LET THEM.

Peter McFarland of Marin County, Calif. is suing the county sheriff's office for tasing him in his own home while his wife pleaded with them to stop. The deputies arrived June 29 of last year after McFarland fell outside his home while he and his wife Pearl were returning from a charity fundraiser, and he said something to the effect that if he had a gun, he'd shoot himself in the head.

It was hyperbole, McFarland told the deputies, who arrived after paramedics had already helped him inside. A rare survivor of pancreatic cancer, he considers himself lucky to be alive. Yet the deputies insisted on taking McFarland to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation, ultimately tasing him after he demanded they leave his house. "Stop resisting!" the deputies repeatedly tell McFarland, as he whimpers and writhes in pain. McFarland was arrested and jailed on a charge of resisting arrest, but a judge later threw out the charge.

The moment a Qantas engine exploded AFTER take-off on a 15-hour flight (as pilot told passengers: 'We're a tad busy') These were the dramatic scenes on board a Qantas 747 when one of its engines nearly exploded soon after take-off. The pilot on board the San Francisco to Sydney flight told passengers the emergency was keeping the flight deck 'a tad busy'. Flight QF74, with 212 passengers on board for the 15-hour journey, was forced to circle over the Pacific for an hour while the pilot dumped its fuel.

It then returned to San Francisco on Monday night. None of the passengers were hurt. It is thought a piece of metal broke off from the engine, smashing into its turbine and causing a huge stream of sparks. A photograph taken after the plane landed showed a large gash in the fuselage. The crew immediately shut down the engine. Fire engines surrounded the aircraft as it landed. Passenger Justin Roberts captured the images on an iPhone. He was sitting by a window overlooking the aircraft's engine number four when the drama happened.

His footage included the audio from the aircraft's captain, who played it cool during the emergency. As panic began to spread, he kept calm by telling passengers: 'Ladies and gentlemen, as you can appreciate we're a tad busy in the flight deck at the moment and we'll come back to you with some more information. 'In the meantime, you must be assured that we are trained for this situation.

'Normally, we do it in a simulator, of course - but we are trained for it so rest assured everything is under control.' Mr Roberts told Australia's Channel 9 news: 'It was like something out of a movie and it was hard to comprehend what was going on.' Echoing the captain's understated tone, he added: 'We were all pretty happy it turned out well.'

David Epstein, spokesman for Qantas' corporate affairs, told the channel that 'the rear turbine suffered a failure and one large piece of metal had flown out of the side of it'. Passengers were put up in hotels when the aircraft landed and alternative arrangements made to fly them to Sydney. Engineers at San Francisco airport were examining the aircraft.

THE TORY PARTY YOU CAN ALWAYS RELY ON THEM CREATING GREAT FAMILY VALUES

Our baby agony: As young male aide quits, Hague denies gay smears and reveals startlingly intimate details of his marriage to Ffion

William Hague made an astonishing public defence of his marriage last night after admitting sharing a hotel room with a young male aide. The Foreign Secretary's 25-year-old special adviser Chris Myers resigned yesterday following what he called 'untrue and malicious allegations' about the nature of their relationship. A furious Mr Hague, 49, issued a statement, denying that he is gay and revealing that his wife Ffion has suffered a series of miscarriages, including one this summer.

He said: ‘Whilst campaigning before the election we occasionally shared twin hotel rooms. Neither of us would have done so if we had thought that it in any way meant or implied something else. ‘In hindsight I should have given greater consideration to what might have been made of that, but this is in itself no justification for allegations of this kind, which are untrue and deeply distressing to me, to Ffion and to Christopher. ‘Any suggestion that his appointment was due to an improper relationship between us is utterly false, as is any suggestion that I have ever been involved in a relationship with any man.’

Mr Myers resigned last night after critics of his appointment said that the Durham University history graduate lacked qualifications for such a senior Foreign Office role. Mr Hague said: ‘He is easily qualified for the job he holds. He has now told me that, as a result of the pressure on his family from the untrue and malicious allegations made about him, he does not wish to continue in his position.’ The Foreign Secretary then moved to kill rumours about his marriage, revealing that he has faced ‘hurtful speculation’ and inquiries ‘questioning whether my marriage to Ffion was in trouble’ and about ‘our supposed separation’.

He said: ‘I have made no secret of the fact that Ffion and I would love to start a family. For many years this has been our goal. 'Sadly this has proved more difficult for us than for most couples.

'We have encountered many difficulties and suffered multiple miscarriages, and indeed are still grieving for the loss of a pregnancy this summer. ‘We are aware that the stress of infertility can often strain a marriage, but in our case, thankfully, it has only brought us closer together. 'It has been an immensely traumatic and painful experience but our marriage is strong and we will face whatever the future brings together.’

Mr Hague said that he had ‘never made this information public because of the distress it would cause to our families’ and insisted: ‘We wish everyone to know that we are very happily married.’ He concluded: ‘It is very regrettable to have to make this personal statement, but we have often said to each other “if only they knew the truth...” Well, this is the straightforward truth.’ The Foreign Secretary issued his extraordinary statement after informing Mr Cameron that he wanted to draw a firm line under the allegations.

Sources close to the PM said he ‘completely understands and supports William’. Internet rumours began when pictures were published of Mr Hague and Mr Myers out walking together dressed casually a year ago. Last night there was palpable irritation among fellow ministers that Mr Hague had allowed himself to be put in a compromising situation by sharing a room with Mr Myers.

They voiced suspicion that Mr Hague put out his statement when publicity was likely to be smothered by coverage of Tony Blair’s memoirs. A Tory minister said: ‘If I shared a room with a female special adviser I would be regarded as reckless and potentially improper. It would be politically suicidal. 'This is no different. You don’t share a room with someone and then put them on the payroll. It’s odd that William can’t see that. It’s also clearly a good day to bury bad news.’

Others who like Mr Hague say that he is ‘personally naïve’ and has opened himself to criticism by surrounding himself with a coterie of young men with whom he is ‘platonically infatuated’. One source said: ‘William finds it hard to get to like people, so when he decides he likes them, he likes to keep them close. 'He is very loyal and it’s quite intoxicating being around him when he likes you. But nothing ever happens. William is a bit naïve about how it looks.’

William Hague's statement:

'I feel it is necessary to issue this personal statement in response to press and internet speculation over the last ten days. 'Earlier this year a Sunday newspaper began questioning whether my marriage to Ffion was in trouble, and last week another media outlet asked whether there was a statement about our supposed separation. This seemed to be linked to equally untrue speculation surrounding the appointment of Christopher Myers as a Special Adviser. 'We feel it necessary to give some background to our marriage because we have had enough of this continued and hurtful speculation about us...'

'Christopher Myers has demonstrated commitment and political talent over the last eighteen months. He is easily qualified for the job he holds. Any suggestion that his appointment was due to an improper relationship between us is utterly false, as is any suggestion that I have ever been involved in a relationship with any man. 'This speculation seems to stem from the fact that whilst campaigning before the election we occasionally shared twin hotel rooms. Neither of us would have done so if we had thought that it in any way meant or implied something else. In hindsight, I should have given greater consideration to what might have been made of that, but this is in itself no justification for allegations of this kind, which are untrue and deeply distressing to me, to Ffion and to Christopher. 'He has now told me that, as a result of the pressure on his family from the untrue and malicious allegations made about him, he does not wish to continue in his position. It is a pity that a talented individual should feel that he needs to leave his job in this way.

'Ffion and I believe that everyone has a right to a private life. However, we now feel it necessary to give some background to our marriage because we have had enough of this continued and hurtful speculation about us. 'I have made no secret of the fact that Ffion and I would love to start a family. For many years this has been our goal. Sadly this has proved more difficult for us than for most couples. We have encountered many difficulties and suffered multiple miscarriages, and indeed are still grieving for the loss of a pregnancy this summer. We are aware that the stress of infertility can often strain a marriage, but in our case, thankfully, it has only brought us closer together. 'Ffion and I would love to start a family. For many years this has been our goal. Sadly this has proved more difficult for us than for most couples'

'It has been an immensely traumatic and painful experience but our marriage is strong and we will face whatever the future brings together. 'Several years ago, one Sunday paper reported that Ffion was three months pregnant, without ever checking the story with us. This made even more difficult the fact that we had only just experienced another disappointment. 'We have never made this information public because of the distress it would cause to our families and would not do so now were it not for the untrue rumours circulating which repeatedly call our marriage into question. We wish everyone to know that we are very happily married.

'It is very regrettable to have to make this personal statement, but we have often said to each other “if only they knew the truth…” Well, this is the straightforward truth. I will not be making any further comment on these matters.'

PART 2 HERE

Don't be fooled by the tabloid press the British royal family are the BIGGEST despots on this planet and UK voters have a choice only of her personally selected masonic goons who head the dodgy political parties that masquerade as some sort of fabricated democracy. NO ONE CAN BE A BRITISH PRIME MINISTER WITHOUT THE BLESSING OF THE TYRANNICAL ROYALS . SHE AND HER LOYAL JUDICIAL MAFIA RULE BRITAIN WITH AN EVIL, WICKED AND BRUTAL IRON FIST

Tony Blair's book today makes unprecedented disclosures about the Queen and reveals his private dealings with the royal family.

In a major breach of protocol, his memoirs relate conversations in detail, including strained discussions after the death of Diana. He describes country weekends at Balmoral as “a vivid combination of the intriguing, the surreal and the utterly freaky” which he faced when he was prime minister with “a bit of horror”. Mr Blair says the stiff drinks he was poured before dinner were “a blessing” that acted like “true rocket fuel” and made the evening with the royal family more bearable.

“Individually, it can be a little nerve-racking to be with them; en masse, all of them and just Cherie and me, well, you can imagine,” he adds. He says the Queen exhibited “hauteur” on occasion and was verydirect, telling him at their first meeting after he took office: “You are my tenth prime minister. The first was Winston. That was before you were born.” Tory MP Nicholas Soames, a close friend of Prince Charles, said the revelations about the Queen and the royal family were “highly inappropriate”.

He added: “It is not only inappropriate but it flies in the face of the convention that the discussions between the monarch and her prime minister are entirely private and should never be subject to any indiscretions whatsoever.” Mr Soames, grandson of Winston Churchill, added: “Nor is it appropriate to talk about dealings with the royal family. It is highly inappropriate, a great breach and bad manners.” It is unheard of for any prime minister to relate conversations with the Queen. David Cameron was criticised recently for hinting at what he told her after this year's election and Harold Wilson was criticised for revealing that she cooked him lunch in the Seventies. Mr Blair goes much further than either.

At Balmoral after Diana's funeral, Mr Blair spent time alone with the Queen. He says: “I talked about the need to learn lessons.” He goes on: “I worried afterwards she would think I was lecturing her or being presumptuous, and at points during the conversation she assumed a certain hauteur, but in the end she herself said lessons must be learnt.” He says that he had felt slightly uncomfortable during the weekend, and could not have got through it without the drink served before dinner, which he described as a “blessing”, adding: “Had it been a dry event, had the Queen been a teetotaller or a temperance fanatic, I don't believe I could have got through the weekend. But this stuff — I was never quite sure what it was — I was absolutely sure it was what was needed. It was true rocket fuel. The easy conversation intercourse with the royal family seemed entirely natural.”

A year later he spent another weekend at Balmoral with his wife Cherie, who wanted to bring the children. “At which I laughed hysterically and said on no account.” Mr Blair describes an unlikely barbecue where Prince Philip cooked and other members of the royal family cleared up. “You think I'm joking, but I'm not. They put the gloves on and stick their hands in the sink. The Queen asks if you've finished, she stacks the plates up and goes off to the sink,” he writes. He writes that he had an immediate connection with Diana, recalling her as down-to-earth and charming but also stubborn and prone to being over-emotional. “We were both, in our own way, manipulators,” he said, of their ability to instinctively grasp and play on the feelings of others.

But on a visit to Chequers in July 1997, a month before her death, he felt compelled to share his concerns over her relationship with Dodi Fayed. “She didn't like it and I could feel the wilful side of her bridling.” He also reveals that he had been concerned acrobats would fall on the Queen's head during the new year celebrations at the Millennium Dome.

Sunglasses perched on her blonde head and carrier bags in hand, Tracie Andrews could not have looked more carefree, browsing through the stores of York city centre last Saturday.

In her pink cardigan, she could have passed for any fashionable forty-something out on a sunny weekend shopping spree. For who would recognise convicted murderer Tracie Andrews today, her features softened by £5,000 of cosmetic surgery to realign her protruding jaw — an operation carried out last year on the NHS. Andrews — or Tia Carter, as she now likes to be known — is due to be released on licence next year after serving 15 years of a life sentence.

On Saturday, she was allowed out from Askham Grange open prison in preparation for that day. But as she wandered through the city’s market district with a female friend, one wonders if she spared a thought for Lee Harvey, the fiance she brutally murdered in December 1996. As she laughed over a cappuccino, did she feel any remorse for the man she stabbed 42 times during a furious row as they drove down a quiet, leafy lane in Worcestershire? Did she consider the feelings of Lee’s parents, Maureen and Ray, and his sister Michelle, all of whom she lied to after the murder, insisting Lee had been the victim of a crazed ‘road rage’ killer? If she did, then she kept it well hidden. Which makes Andrews’s imminent release all the more distressing for Lee’s family, who feel justice has simply not been done in this case. True, they had been warned by the authorities that Andrews would be going out on day release, but that makes it no easier. Bitter does not even begin to describe how they feel.

And while the Ministry of Justice this week said of inmates’ resettlement schemes ‘Only those assessed as representing minimal risk of escape or risk of harm to the public are eligible’, the Harveys are equally eloquent about the lack of understanding for victims’ families. 'When she got angry with Lee she'd attack him and kick him our of her flat, and he'd turn up at Mum's house covered in bites, cuts and bruises.' For 14 years, Lee’s sister Michelle Harvey-Gill has borne her own grief privately. The 41-year-old married teaching assistant and mother of two has never spoken publicly about her brother’s murder, but she has lived with the trauma of it every day since.

The word forgiveness is not in her lexicon when it comes to Tracie Andrews. ‘Life should mean life, not 15 years,’ she says. ‘Why should she get a second chance when my poor brother gets none? ‘When she murdered Lee she ruined all our lives, so how come she’s the one getting all the help rebuilding her life, going on shopping sprees?

‘No one helped us re-integrate into the community or rehabilitated us. We had no support. ‘What does it say about our society when criminals are treated better than victims? Our life sentence, which began the day Lee died, will never end.’ Lee’s mother Maureen, now 64, had to close down the hairdressing salon she ran with daughter Michelle because of the stress of the murder trial.

For two years after the trial, Michelle suffered panic attacks and, for a while, had to be prescribed antidepressants. Last year, Lee’s daughter from a previous relationship, 18-year-old Danielle, wrote to Andrews in prison demanding to know why she killed her father. Danielle was five when her father was murdered. Seemingly, she received no reply.

Even Andrews’s closest friends — who cannot accept she killed in cold blood — admit she refuses to talk about Lee or what happened that night. She once reportedly told a fellow prison inmate that there was no point in ‘crying over spilt milk’. It wasn’t until 21 months after her conviction, having failed in her appeal, that Andrews finally confessed to the killing in a letter from prison, later claiming she acted in self-defence when Lee attacked her. Lee’s mother Maureen has one answer to this.

‘There were 42 wounds on Lee’s body,’ she says. ‘One of the stab wounds was to his back, and I believe that was the first. I think she lunged at him as he was walking away from her. There were little nicks around his neck, which makes me think she taunted him before inflicting the stab wound which killed him.’ What kind of woman could do such a thing? The Harveys believe they know. And regardless of what the parole board may think, they remain unconvinced that she is a reformed character. Lee, an easy-going and fun-loving bus driver, met Tracie in a nightclub in 1994. She was a glamorous single mother (her daughter, Karla, was then aged four) who ran a market stall selling perfume and had big dreams of becoming a model.

Michelle recalls: ‘When I first met Tracie, she seemed very friendly and my first reaction was “Wow, she’s attractive”. In fact, I said to Lee: “How did you manage to pull her?” I’d never seen Lee so excited about a girl before. He kept saying how great she was — he thought she was fantastic. ‘But very soon I had my doubts. She seemed very insecure.

'I'd never seen Lee so excited about a girl before. He kept saying how great she was - he thought she was fantastic.' ‘I had her whole life history in half an hour. She kept saying how tough her life had been. Her father had left her mother when she was young. She didn’t get on with her stepfather, and she said she’d had a bad time with her ex and his family. ‘She was slating almost everyone in her life, and I started to feel very uncomfortable hearing her criticising people we didn’t even know.

‘Then, in 1995, my husband Steve and I decided to announce our engagement at a family party, but instead of being happy for us, Tracie went into a complete strop and stormed out, shouting: “Trust her to get in there first and announce her engagement before me!” ’ Lee’s mother Maureen adds: ‘I welcomed her into my home and tried to make her feel one of the family, but she was a Jekyll and Hyde character. One minute she could be sweetness and light, and the next she’d throw a tantrum.’ Andrews, say the family, had a pathological need to be the centre of attention.

Maureen recalls a time when the whole family were watching the film Fatal Attraction, starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close as a married man and his vengeful mistress, who tries to kill him when he rejects her. ‘We were all sitting there with our popcorn enjoying the film when Tracie suddenly picked up a cushion and viciously hit Lee, saying: “If you ever do that to me, I’ll kill you.” ‘It wasn’t a joke, she was deadly serious. She was practically snarling.

‘Afterwards, I said to Lee that there was something wrong with Tracie, but he just laughed it off and said: “She’s mental, but I love her.” ’ Jealous and possessive, Andrews would fly into a rage if she wasn’t always at the epicentre of Lee’s world, and during their volatile two-year relationship they split up many times. According to Michelle, Andrews felt particularly threatened by Lee’s amicable relationship with Anita, the mother of his daughter. She wonders now if Andrews killed Lee because she was terrified they might reconcile.

‘When she got angry with Lee, she’d attack him and kick him out of her flat, and he’d turn up at Mum’s house covered in bites, cuts and bruises. ‘He’d say “That’s it, I’m not going back” — but he always would.

‘I warned him time and again that one day she’d really hurt him. I told him he was stupid to stay with her, but he loved her and would do anything for her. He bought her jewellery and he even paid for her to have a boob job after she moaned that her breasts had been ruined by motherhood.’ Maureen adds: ‘After a big row, Lee would say he’d had enough and would start going out with his mates again, but Tracie stalked him. She’d trawl every nightclub until she found him, and then went berserk if he so much as looked at another woman. If she couldn’t have him, then no one else would either.’ In May 1996, Andrews banned Lee from attending his sister’s wedding. It was done in a fit of spite after Michelle, during one of Tracie and Lee’s ‘off’ periods, withdrew the invitation to Tracie’s daughter Karla to be a bridesmaid at her wedding.

‘On the morning of the wedding, Lee turned up at my mum’s house with a present,’ says Michelle. ‘He gave me a hug, told me loved me, but said he couldn’t come. It completely tainted my big day.’ The final straw for Michelle, however, came a few weeks later when Andrews had bitten a chunk out of Lee’s neck during yet another vicious row in a nightclub. Furious at her brother’s refusal to see sense and end the relationship once and for all, Michelle stopped talking to him. Michelle was three months pregnant with her second child when she heard on the car radio that a man had been killed in a road rage attack.

Later that night, her devastated parents told her the victim was Lee. She recalls: ‘Straight away I said: “She’s done it.” My mum had been to the hospital and spoken to too, was prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt. But I said: “I’m telling you now, Tracie did it.” ’ Maureen’s husband Ray, a retired lorry driver who is now aged 66, also had his doubts about Andrews. Why, he asked, had the road rage attacker let Tracie live when she was a witness to murder? It was Maureen who held Andrews’s hand for moral support at the Press conference, when, in a brazen act of duplicity, she tearfully described the fictitious road rage killer.

And it was Maureen who, a few days later, rushed to comfort Andrews in hospital after a failed suicide attempt, when she wrote notes saying she couldn’t go on without Lee. The Harveys now believe Andrews’s overdose was an admission of guilt. Indeed, at the hospital she said ‘Sorry for what I have done’ to Mr and Mrs Harvey. That day, the police had questioned her about glaring discrepancies in her story. Witnesses had come forward to say that they’d hadn’t seen a Sierra chasing Lee’s Ford Escort that night after the pair left the Marlbrook pub, a two-mile drive from Tracie’s flat in Alvechurch. Another witness to the confrontation said they’d heard only two voices arguing on the roadside — a man’s and a woman’s.

And a black hat seemingly dropped by the road rage attacker at the scene had cat hairs on it belonging to Andrews’s mother’s pet. Meanwhile, the pattern of blood splatters on Andrews’s clothes suggested it was she who had wielded the murder weapon — an imitation Swiss army knife which Andrews would eventually admit she’d disposed of at the hospital. The bloody imprint of a knife blade was found on the inside of Andrews’s boot, and a clump of her hair was found in Lee’s hand. 'I think she honestly believe she would get off and spent most of the trial shooting us venomous looks.'

Former boyfriends of Andrews revealed how she’d attacked them too. Yet still Andrews denied everything. Michelle, who had her second pregnancy induced two weeks early so she could attend the trial, says: ‘I’ll never forget the first day when Tracie dramatically pointed at us sitting in the gallery and shouted: “I want to be where they are sitting, so I can see justice done, too.” ‘I think she honestly thought she would get off, and spent most of the trial shooting us venomous looks.’

So, no, the Harveys — given their experience of Tracie Andrews — do not believe her to be remorseful, let alone reformed. And even if she were, should she serve just 15 years for Lee’s murder? ‘My mum has tried to be strong, but I have heard her sobbing in her room,’ says Michelle. ‘I have heard my dad crying, too, and that’s a terrible thing to hear.’

There is nothing they can do to prevent Andrews being freed, but they have begged the Probation Service to ensure she does not live within a 50-mile radius of their homes. The last thing they want is to bump into Lee’s murderer on one of her shopping sprees.

An official from the House of Commons Fees Office — which oversees MPs' expenses — faces jail today after admitting submitting bogus invoices of his own.

Andrew Gibson, 49, pleaded guilty to creating fake invoices in the names of MPs who were either retiring or leaving their posts to pay off his mounting debts. The Resources Budget Officer paid nearly £6,000 into his friend Toni Pomfret's account on three occasions between August and December 2005. Both men were due to face trial at Southwark crown court today but pleaded guilty before a jury was sworn in. Gibson, who resigned in January, admitted submitting invoices for “typing and secretarial services” for three former MPs.

They are Tam Dalyell, the veteran former Labour MP for West Lothian, Linda Perham, the ex-Ilford North MP, and Liberal Democrat Matthew Green, who represented Ludlow. Pomfret, 50, a rail inspector, received the money into his account as payment for outstanding gambling debts owed by Gibson. Gibson first submitted an invoice for £1,880 to the Department of Finance and Administration on behalf of Mr Dalyell on August 26 — misspelling the name.

Five days later he created an invoice purporting to be from Ms Perham's office for £2,115 and on December 31 he submitted an invoice on behalf of Mr Green for £1,880. The invoice discrepancies were discovered during the general investigation into MPs' expenses by Sir Thomas Legg last year. Both men were granted bail, but the Recorder of Westminster, Judge Geoffrey Rivlin QC, warned there was a “real possibility” of a custodial sentence. The pair will be sentenced on September 30.

Gibson, of Poplar, admitted three counts of obtaining a money transfer by deception. Pomfret, of Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, admitted three counts of acquiring criminal property. It is understood that the basis of Pomfret's plea was that he had suspected that the three payments had come from the House of Commons and that Gibson had perpetrated the frauds. A further count of conspiracy to defraud was ordered to be left on the file. The duties of what later became the Fees Office date back to 1833. Originally responsible for the assessment and collection of fees payable on private bills, during the first half of the 20th century the duties of the Fees Office increased to include the salaries, allowances and expenses of Members.

THIS IS NOT, AS THEY WOULD DESCRIBE THE TRUTH AS ANTI-SEMITISM , THIS IS FACT

For anyone unfamiliar with the exposures, across the internet, of the deepening control Israel is exerting over the world and its people , it will come as a surprise considering our only means of getting news had previously come through a media that reflects events via Israeli tinted spectacles. For a nation and religion with only 2 per cent of the world's population they have created a system were they utterly dominate the many arena's required to control the direction of some of the biggest super powers across the globe, yet how is that possible ?

Israel and its many spies and operators have been expert at corrupting and blackmailing, that is one of the most sinister traits of all those imposing a jewish agenda and how using secret societies like freemasonry they control those who have no direct relationship with Israel. Much of the worlds wealth is likely tied up in Israeli banks since the majority of the thieves in the banking crisis were MOSTLY jewish and who headed the mass hedge fund extortion racket that has created the financial collapse, especially of the countries that aided the policies of Israel in the middle east and who are becoming ever more reliant on the hand outs to their political goons that keep them in power to do the dirty on the nations they control (on behalf of Israeli interests).

Whether its Obama or Bush, Brown or Blair Israel, not UK or USA voters, controls the direction of internal and overseas policy that ultimately ensures Israeli survival at the utter expense of their own countries citizens. Israel now totally dominates world affairs by tying all leaders to a system of corruption and blackmail that has been going on throughout history and were even the Queen of England is a hand picked puppet for a sinister regime that will not tolerate any dissent or divergence from far right Israeli policies. They are all ultimately behind the New World Order enslavement of the world's people and primarily for the advancement of Israeli and jewish supremacy. BUT ONLY IF WE LET 'EM.

There are more jewish billionaires (Rothschild's head this mob) in the world than any other religious group due to some of the most sinister and devious corrupt practices of buying off political goons who are controlled via the 33 degree supreme councils and who ALL answer back to Israeli mobsters and their worldwide mafia system of oppressing the political and legal systems with their hand picked goons. One look at the coat of arms of the British royals , and coincidentally on the gates of Michael Jackson's Neverland, shows the House of Judah as the central theme of their badges and how the heavily fortified Israeli embassy in London overlooks Kensington Palace , the seat of the future ruler of Britain and much of the world via the British Empire and British control of legal systems via Temple church and bar and also the Inns of court that all lawyers globally answer to via their bar associations exerting crown powers.

We have many on this group who have been despicably abused by those representing the law . That law ultimately reaches right back to those in Israel that are pulling the strings of the legal, political, banking and royal mafia's that are entwined in the most sinister and complex control mechanism the world has ever seen. THAT WE INTEND TO SMASH FOREVER WITH EXPOSURES AND SUPPORT ACROSS THE GLOBE.

Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- Julia Lynn Womack Turner, who was convicted in 2007 of murder for the deaths by antifreeze poisoning of her boyfriend and husband, died Monday in prison in Georgia, prison officials said.

Turner "was found unresponsive in her cell at 6:55 a.m., at which time prison medical staff and EMS responded but were unable to revive her," the Georgia Department of Corrections said in a statement. The cause of death was under investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's medical examiner's office. Turner was serving life without parole in the Metro State Prison for women in Atlanta. Turner was convicted of murder for the 1995 death of her husband, police officer Glenn Turner, and for the 2001 death of her boyfriend, firefighter Randy Thompson, both of whom were poisoned with antifreeze.

Glenn Turner died March 3, 1995, from what was initially determined to be an irregular heartbeat. A week later, Turner moved in with Thompson, with whom she had begun an affair several months prior. But it was not until Thompson died in 2001 under similar circumstances that authorities exhumed the body of Glenn Turner and performed another autopsy. In both cases, the men had exhibited flulike symptoms before being taken to the emergency room. They both died less than 24 hours after they left the hospital, from what a coroner initially identified as heart failure.

Further examination, however, revealed traces of ethylene glycol, a byproduct of antifreeze, in both of their bodies. Cobb County prosecutors labeled the defendant a "black widow" who murdered both men for financial gain. After her husband's death, Turner received more than $150,000 in benefits and interest from his life insurance and pension. She received about $36,000 from Thompson's death.

The British public are being blatantly ripped off by Corrupt Lawyers.

The Law Society has made it obvious by its indifference, that its primary role is to promote and protect the interest of its members. Solicitors know that there are millions of pounds to be made from fraud. They use their legal knowledge to commit fraud, knowing they can get away with it. Innocent clients are becoming victims, lives are being destroyed, families are being ripped apart and people are losing their homes, because of debts incurred first by solicitors stealing their money, then by trying to fight them in court. The

British government refuses to do anything about it. With the power of the internet victims such as my-self, refuse to suffer in silence any longer. We are exposing the criminals within the British Legal System. The Law has failed us. This is a desperate cry for help, a last resort! If embarrassing the solicitors, the Law Society and the British Government, is the only way of getting justice in Britain, then so be it.

Alternative “News” Sites, or, How to herd a very large group of people onto the worst probable future timeline

Many people reading this are probably very familiar with alternative news sites such as Jeff Rense, Alex Jones, the David Icke headlines page, Signs of the Times, What Really Happened, etc. and so on. These websites keep close tabs on what’s supposedly really transpiring in our world, the stories that the mainstream media is either reluctant to report, or flat out won’t touch with a ten foot pole.

At some point, I avidly followed all of the above mentioned sites, as well as a few others. It was after I began my intense “awakening” period, starting in 2001, and was reading everything and anything I could get my hands on which pertained to the truth. In all fairness, I was never totally asleep to begin with, always living on the outside looking in, never fully buying into the program, living my life in strange and unusual ways that did not conform to the mainstream. But like many people, sometime during 2000 – 2001, things happened to catalyze me into moving to the next level of research and awareness. And so I did, with gusto. Every day I was visiting the alternative news media headlines pages, absorbing all the conspiracy headline stories. My bookshelves filled with the new books I was buying on all these subjects. I had binders filled with all the articles I’d printed out. My mind was like a sponge, and I couldn’t get enough.

The negative aspect of it all didn’t register right away. The Rense site was by far the worst for me, always packing a huge punch in the gut with stories I could do nothing about. Injustice to people and innocent animals, environmental destruction and annihilation, happening all around the world, every day. More corrupt politicians, lying. More of the illusion, going up in flames right in front of our faces. Each travesty would generate an intense emotional reaction within me from where I sat in front of my computer, helpless to stop any of it. But at least I was being informed. I was aware of the truth. I was not the blissfully ignorant mass public in the sheep pen. . . and ultimately, that’s all that mattered, right? Never mind the negativity!

It all caught up with me though down the line. Around mid-2004 I finally snapped. Day after day of negative news headlines, books and articles, under the guise of “truth” and I just couldn’t mentally take any more. I ceased reading Rense cold turkey, for three weeks. I had to. Stopped visiting all the other stand-bys, such as David Icke, and all the rest. If I was bored at work with no work to do and some time to kill, then I was going to play games on Yahoo instead. That was it for me! Bounce Out, Cubis and Text Twist, here I come. I went out of my way to bring books to read during my lunch break as part of my “detox” mindset change, mostly pertaining to the Toltec warrior’s path as that’s what really resonates with me – Carlos Castaneda and Theun Mares. It was an abrupt, yet, totally natural transition from one period of my life to the next, a process that continues to this day, recently moving into what I call “Stage 3.” :) But it took mentally snapping before it could even begin to happen.

For some people though, they never know when to quit. They’re currently having their mental breakdown with this material. . . but keep going with it, and going, and going and going. They post on message boards, full of anger and rage about this country’s situation, and the way the world is going up in flames. Everything is wrong and ugly to them, everybody is corrupt, we’re all going to hell in a hand basket. There’s no hope. We see it in the writings of some very famous conspiracy / alternative news authors on the web, who only rant on and on about all that is wrong and ugly, but never offer solutions. In fact, you can almost say they don’t seem to be interested in solutions. We see it in the alternative headlines pages which usually, as in the case of Rense, make sure to focus on stuff you can do nothing about, things happening half a world away. . . things that took place last week, last month, and are already over, so all you can do is read about the bloodbath carnage aftermath of epic proportions, while mentally writhing in anguish, spewing loosh and feeding the feeders. . . which is actually part of the purpose of these sites. Whether they know they’re being used for this or not. These sites act as loosh generators, no different from their “enemies”, the mainstream media. One is supposedly feeding us lies, and one is supposedly giving us the truth, but when they’re both intensely negative and serve the same loosh generating, fear-frequency purpose, then really, what’s the difference?

So there you are, reading along, getting upset, generating loosh. . . even experiencing fear and anxiety. There’s yet another conspiracy story about the NWO, the internment camps, the roundups, the “red and blue list”. Which list will YOU be on, hm? Do they already know about you? Are they monitoring your phone calls and emails? Keeping tabs on which websites you visit, which message boards you post to? There’s another story about foreign militias training on U.S. soil, preparing to take us over. Another story about the boxcars and checkpoints fashioned out of former toll booths in the New Mexican desert. More stories about micro chipping, and how eventually, we will all be forced to take the chip, or else. More stories about the sinister purposes of chemtrails, designed to annihilate half the world’s population. Get rid of the peasants you know, so the world’s elite can have the planet all to themselves. More stories about man made laboratory biowarfare, released onto the helpless population.

And there’s nothing you can do about ANY of it. It’s all bigger than you, out of your hands, and you are a helpless bit of cattle property, at the mercy of everything and anything that’s bigger and badder than you in this world. They can kill you, maim you, and make you sick if you want… ...or, so these stories would like you to subtly believe.

When you’re reading this stuff, what eventually happens?

You begin to absorb that covert message just outlined above, the one about being a powerless, helpless victim at the mercy of everything bigger than you. And more importantly, you begin to envision these scenarios as your future. In fact, you spend an awful lot of time envisioning this particular doomsday scenario NWO take-over, half the world decimated by Bird Flu H5N1 / human flu / SARS / West Nile Virus / epidemic of the moment fill in the blank, future that these websites keep feeding us. Every day you’re reading it, and in doing so, you’re programming your mind to accept this as reality. . . the only reality. . . that lies in store for us. These websites constantly churn out the same horrific doomsday scenario future headlines day after day after day after day, under the guise of revealing the truth, getting us informed, etc. . . . but what they’re also covertly accomplishing is a form of mind control programming. The very thing they rail against, ironically enough. Kind of poetic when you think about it. Don’t get me wrong – these stories do have legitimacy, in my opinion. Many of what these websites are reporting is happening, or at least, is the intended plan of some nefarious groups that run things on this planet. And it’s good to be informed, and many of us need these stories to help catalyze us into “waking up from the illusion.” But the fact is, what these news sites and conspiracy authors either don’t know or purposely don’t tell us is that:

1. The future is *not* set in stone. Time is not linear, which means there are multi probable timelines out there where we could wind up;

2. There are still way too many variables to factor into the equation, which can – and will – prevent many of these things from ever happening on certain timelines, and. . .

3. . . . the fact that there are various probable timelines to choose from means you don’t have to wind up on the negative doomsday timeline being fed to us.

Just because they tell us something, doesn’t mean that’s how it has to go. Remember that. And just because they’re giving us the “truth” that the mainstream media won’t talk about doesn’t mean we’re getting the entire “Bigger Picture.” The one thing that most of these news sites and conpiracy doomsday authors lack is the spiritual bigger picture. Something that needs to be emphasized here, and which more people need to realize, is that we have a say in everything that happens to us, and we can control our own future. It’s actually a theme that keeps coming up in all of my articles. I never purposely set out with the intention to do that, it just sort of wound up happening. But the reason it keeps popping up like this is probably because it’s one of the most important concepts we as humans can realize. It’s the very thing that “The Powers That Be” have continually tried to hide from us and prevent us from knowing. Everything about mainstream society is designed to disempower us at every turn. The rules, laws, authority, control, religion, school, mainstream health practices, everything, it’s all about taking away our personal power and trying to prevent the majority from ever learning the truth: That we have the ability to manifest what we need, heal and cure ourselves from ailments, and, through thoughts, personal frequency and intent, can affect which probable future timeline we wind up on, based on where we choose to align ourselves. Our alignment comes from personal frequency, and personal frequency comes from what our thoughts and intent consist of.

If you choose to inundate yourself with fear-based, anxiety generating, doomsday scenario gloom and doom material, you’re putting your focus on that, and are inadvertently aligning yourself to it. As a result, you just may wind up in that future. If, on the other hand, you declare, “No. I don’t want that,” and begin forging a new path for yourself, then you’ll most likely find yourself in a much better future than you would have otherwise. Forging a new path requires making a conscious effort to align to a new way of being and move on to the next level. So once this material has shown you what’s really happening out there in the world, versus what the mainstream media feeds us, recognize when it has served its purpose and use the information to help you get to the next level. What good is the material after all, if you don’t put it to use and do something with what you know? You don’t want to stagnate, going in endless circles. You want to move forward, and make progress. You want to search for solutions, and create a better way. So what is this next level I keep mentioning?

It goes by many names, and there are many beliefs surrounding what “the next level” is beyond the 3^rd^ density illusion, but whatever you believe, or choose to call it, it does exist. “Spiraling Out.” “The shift to 4^th^ density.” “Personal freedom”, in the vain of the Toltec warrior’s path. Merging with your Higher Self – my personal favorite! :) It’s not everybody’s destiny to strive for it; for many, they will be content to just live out their lives and die, which is fine. But for others, that’s not enough. They know they can achieve more, and that there’s something else out there beyond all of this, a better way to be than what we’re all shown in the mainstream world. Keep in mind too that turning your back on the doomsday scenario material to strive for the next level doesn’t mean burying your head in the sand. This may be a common misconception for many reading this, that I’m possibly advocating being ignorant and covering your eyes and plugging your ears and saying “lalala! I can’t hear you! I don’t see you!” It’s not willful ignorance – it’s about a conscious choice. It’s about directing your intent for where you’d like to wind up, and what sort of future you’d like for yourself.

If you’re driving along on a road, and you see that there’s a collapsed bridge up ahead, you can either a) Choose to stare fixedly at the bridge and plow forth into the bridge; b) Choose to take your hands off the wheel and cover your eyes and pretend it doesn’t exist while your car veers all around on the road, so you may or may not end up colliding with the bridge; or c) You can choose to smoothly exit off the road beforehand, thus avoiding the collapsed bridge entirely and choosing a better route.

Bingo! It’s all about choice C. Like I’ve written before, whenever we’re given two choices in life, it always means there is a third, or more, choice that we are not being shown. It’s never black and white, yes and no, good and bad, liberal or conservative, and so on. If you mistakenly believe that it’s a choice between the negative doomsday “truth” or blissful sheep pen ignorance, realize that it’s about neither. It’s about awareness, and using what you’ve learned and know to create something better.

A big question some may be wondering as they read this is whether all the doomsday negative gloom and doom material is knowingly trying to lower people’s frequencies and focus their attention onto the worst future possible. Are they in on some actual tangible “plot” of sorts? Do they consciously know what they’re doing?? Honestly, no, I don’t think so. I think most of the people who run those sites and write those articles, forever ranting about everything that’s wrong and ugly, believe that they’re doing the right thing. . . although there are forces working through them to get them to generate this sort of one-sided, limited view material that lacks the spiritual “bigger picture.” Which leads to the idea that some may actually be programmed to do so. I know, not an easy one to accept. “My beloved so-and-so, purveyor of truth, fervent opponent of the mainstream media, a programmed PAWN?!? NO!!!!!” Yes. It’s quite possible. After all, people can be easily fooled into that “two choice scenario” using faulty logic: “Oh, the mainstream media is the bad guy. . . and here’s this other guy over here who’s railing against the mainstream media, putting out different information. . . he must be the good guy then! I’m siding with him and going over there!”

But is it really a choice between the negative doomsday “truth”, and blissful ignorance? Or is there a third choice? A hidden door over there behind the curtain? Another option we’re not being given? How about the choice which involves “neither”, the one where we decide which future we’d like to have, and begin making it happen, based on our thoughts and intents, starting right now, at this very moment? I will leave off with this thought about the nature of time: Creating that alternate future where we wind up on the better timeline instead of the doomsday timeline is possible, and it is out there. It exists, because all possibilities for everything already exist. Everything has already happened. . . that’s the nature of time. And every way that an event could possibly play itself out has already happened. So where we wind up just depends where we choose to align ourselves, which version of events we pull to ourself and choose to make our main timeline. And it starts right now, at this very moment, with our actions and thoughts.

Jeannie Campbell Faced Up To 15 Years In Prison

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A letter of apology Jeannine Campbell read to the family of the boy she was seen abusing on a nannycam did not sway a judge from sentencing the 53-year-old woman to eight years in prison and seven additional years of probation. "You have admitted in open court to abusing the most vulnerable and defenseless among us," Judge Adrian Soud said Friday afternoon in announcing the sentence. "The law rightly rushes to the defense of those so helpless." Last month, Campbell pleaded guilty to three counts of child abuse that resulted from abuse seen on hidden-camera video, showing Campbell repeatedly hitting the baby.

"My heart is screaming every day. I'm so very sorry. I had never behaved so horribly," Campbell read through tears on the witness stand. "It's hard to cope with what I did. I can't believe that someone could do it, and, my God, it was me." Under questioning by prosecutors, she admitted that she was mad at the family, but said that is no excuse for her actions -- none of which she said she remembered until she was shown the videotape. That statement was contradicted when the state played a recording of a telephone call Campbell made to her husband from jail in which she admitted throwing and hitting the young boy. "I don't have to look at the tape, I know what I did. It is abuse," Campbell is heard saying. "It is definitely, most definitely abuse. I am guilty." Campbell testified Friday that she was dealing with a lot of problems in her personal life and at home. Amanda Hammock, the mother of the abused baby, then took the stand and said that while she once considered Campbell a friend, she now knows she knows how badly her trust was betrayed.

"She picked up him by his arms and threw him. You hit him in the head and knocked him over. You kicked him in the stomach and you hit in the head with the ball, just to name a few of the malicious and horrific things that you did to my sweet and defenseless baby boy," Hammock said. "It is truly only by the grace of God that my son came out of this attack with nothing more than a split lip and bruises." Hammock called Campbell's reasons for hitting her son "sorry excuses," then asked Judge Soud to sentence Hammock to the maximum term -- 15 years in prison. "My husband and I trusted you with the two most precious parts of our hearts," Hammock said from the witness stand but address to Campbell. "Not only did you betray that trust, you betrayed the trust of our children. We now have trouble trusting anyone but the closest family members to watch our children."

After a 90-minute recess, Soud announced the sentence: five years in prison on one count, three years on a second with two years probation and five years of probation on a third. "In understanding the reality that courts do not impose sentences to extract some measure of revenge, courts do, however impose sentence to bring about consequence when the vulnerable among us are assaulted," Soud said. "I, along with probably every other person in this courtroom, am grateful for the reality that there is not appreciable, lasting injury to Ethan. That is attributable to the guiding hand of grace. It does not, in itself, mitigate your behavior." Soud acknowledged the family's request for the full 15-years in prison, but said that given Campbell's age, that would be tantamount to a life sentence.

Both Campbell's husband and her lawyer believe she has a hormonal imbalance that contributed to her behavior. John Campbell admits he watched the nannycam video, but said that while the woman in the video was physically his wife, she was not acting like the woman he knows. “You spend 30 years with somebody and you know every motion, every mannerism of them, and they weren’t there. It was like someone else had taken over," John Campbell said.

According to the police report, Campbell worked for the boy’s family for two years, but after an older child had an unexplained black eye, the parents installed the hidden camera to see what was going on when they weren’t home. The boy's parents said their youngest son has fully recovered from the abuse.

No matter whether it's boom or bust there is always one bunch of low lifes making a killing out of other peoples misery

The nation may be tightening its collective belt given the perilous state of the economy but the good times are still rolling in for some.

Edinburgh lawyer Alastair Dickson has been revealed as the second-highest legal earner in the UK, earning a hefty £1.9m this year, according to a new survey of Britain’s 100 largest law firms, . The figure is all the more remarkable when it is considered that Mr Dickson’s highly regarded firm Dickson Minto is relatively small, with a turnover of £28m, and not even one of the biggest outfits in Scotland. Mr Dickson, who founded his firm with managing partner Bruce Minto, strives to remain low-key in spite of his success. “I hate the press, I hate publicity,” he once said in an interview.

However, the owner of the markedly discreet corporate and commercial outfit, which has offices in Edinburgh’s Charlotte Square and London’s Finsbury Square, has struggled to avoid the glare of publicity. His company has been involved in some of the biggest private equity sales and purchases of the last 20 years and the firm admitted last year to having “passed the £65 billion mark” in the value of private equity deals it has helped put together. Mr Dickson, 61, has also found himself in the tabloids as a result of a costly divorce action – and his subsequent wedding. He made a settlement with his wife worth £6m when they divorced in 2002. Josephine Dickson’s settlement included a 12-apartment Victorian villa that the couple shared in the Trinity area of Edinburgh, along with most of its contents.

The settlement would not have made too much of a dent in Mr Dickson’s bank balance – both he and Mr Minto regularly earn more than £1m a year – but his former wife claimed he fought to hang on to a number of kitchen appliances, including their toaster. The lawyer went on to marry Belinda Robertson, the celebrated fashion designer known as The Cashmere Queen. While Mr Dickson claims to hate publicity and chooses to remain enigmatic, he has been bitten by the showbusiness bug. In 2009 he founded Ard Films and teamed up with fashion stylist Kelly Cooper Barr to produce movies.

“Ard Films are interested in developing scripts from original screenplay, through funding, production and distribution,” said the website. “Our purpose is to exploit and develop rights in film and television.” There are several projects in pre-production. Matt Baldwin, a spokesman for Legal Business magazine, which carried out the survey, explains why Mr Dickson has become one of the highest-paid lawyers in the UK.

“Dickson Minto are a boutique firm who provide specialist services,” he says. “Alastair Dickson’s specialist work in acquisitions and mergers allows him to charge very high fees and this is reflected in his salary earnings. He has consistently been one of the highest earners in the UK.” The salary is put into perspective when contrasted with the salary of £1m paid by UK firm Clifford Chance to their top equity partner earner. Clifford Chance’s turnover this year was £1.2bn. Yet Dickson Minto can claim to justify the huge sums paid to their top equity partner on the basis that the company has increased its turnover by 12% to £28m. Just three Scottish firms posted increases in turnover this year, with legal firms suffering from cuts in financial services and real estate sectors and a drought in Government-backed projects.

Yet, while the combined billings of the top 100 law firms in the UK have fallen by 4% this year, ending a succession of year-on-year increases, the survey reveals that salaries paid to the top partners have gone up. “Almost two-thirds of the 100 law firms in our survey posted an increase in profits per equity partner, yet less than half of them achieved growth in revenue,” said Richard Lloyd, editor of Legal Business magazine.

“The redundancy rounds of the past two years and cuts to discretionary spending have served equity partners well. As a result of some ruthless cost-cutting, average equity partner profits increased by 12% across the top 100.” The survey reveals that Scotland’s biggest law firm is McGrigors, with a turnover of £69m this year. London firm Slaughter and May paid out the highest legal salary in the UK, with their major equity partner picking up £2.3m.

Victims' families blame financial stress

Donald and Barbara Romano had been residents of Las Vegas for more than 50 years. He was a former Marine, a Korean War veteran and a respected member of the community. She was a loving mother, described as "very kind and generous" by her daughter. But the couple, heavily involved in the real estate business, had been financially crippled by the recession.

On Aug. 20, a Friday, the couple were found dead in the bedroom of their million-dollar Summerlin home by their housekeeper, Las Vegas police said. A gun was found in Donald's hand and a note was left near the bed. Both were 74. Their deaths are the latest in a wave of murder-suicides in the Las Vegas Valley this month. From Aug. 7 to Aug. 20 there were five murder-suicides, 10 deaths total, Las Vegas police said. A gun was used in each case. In four of the five instances, the man was the shooter. In one instance, a bystander was wounded. Maria Romano, daughter of the victims in the most recent report, said economic woes were the root of their stress. "Their financial situation was not good," she said. "That's not a secret to people that were close to them." Homicide Lt. Lew Roberts, speaking in general terms, said several of the recent cases can be traced to the same cause.

"At this point it appears that maybe the economy is starting to take effect, which is something we haven't seen before," he said.

Recent murder-suicides handled by Las Vegas police include:

Aug. 7: Phil Testa, 74, who shot and killed his wife Angelina, 79, before taking his own life during a standoff with police.

Aug. 16: Susan Kapfer, 50, who took a gun into Valley Hospital and Medical Center and killed her husband, Mike, who suffered from a debilitating physical and mental illness. In a suicide note, she compared their relationship to that of Romeo and Juliet.

Aug. 19: Edith Corona, 19, and Jose Zergara Rodriguez, 20, were killed in the northwest valley after Rodriguez shot Corona before turning the gun on himself.

Aug. 20: On the same day the Romanos were found dead, Steven Becker, 56, shot and killed Shannon Larkin, 48, before killing himself at Tiberti Mini Warehouses on Valley View Boulevard. Another woman at the business was injured by Becker, but survived.

Maria Romano, herself a counselor at the Community Counseling Center of Southern Nevada, near Sahara Avenue and Maryland Parkway, said she felt terrible for the families of all the victims, not just her own family. "There's been too many, and here I am in the middle of it," she said. "My heart goes out to them." All five crimes were classified as murder-suicide, although there were few similarities in the circumstances of each.

One expert said that's normal; there are a wide variety of stressful situations that can cause an otherwise normal person to snap. Jack Levin, a professor of sociology and criminology at Northeastern University in Boston and an author of several books on the psychology of murder, said most murder-suicides are caused by a "catastrophic trigger event." "A serious financial loss, the loss of a job or money, or tremendous indebtedness," Levin said. "It could be a child custody battle or a nasty separation or divorce, a terminal illness. ? It's almost always a catastrophic loss that precipitates a murder-suicide, and that's one of the only characteristics that is consistent."

These crimes are often unpreventable, police said. The damage is done by the time officers are called. Levin agreed. Although depression can be a warning sign, there are thousands of cases where a depressed person never harms anyone. "It's best not to wait until someone wants to kill himself and their spouse," he said. "Once that intention is there, it's probably too late."

Ron Lawrence, executive director of the nonprofit Community Counseling Center and a licensed marriage and family therapist, said many residents of Las Vegas are battling hardship. His agency offers mental health and substance abuse treatment to about 3,000 people a year, and also offers intervention training for families. Lawrence has seen thousands of clients dealing with depression. He advises friends and family to watch for early warning signs: severe depression, despondency or expressions of futility. "In other words, saying 'No matter what I do, it doesn't matter,' " Lawrence said.

Often, just talking to a friend about problems, or "debriefing," can take the edge off, he said. In more severe cases, professional help might be the best answer. "In the mental health industry, we know there is always an answer most of the time," he said. "And we make ourselves available. That's our business."

Levin, Lawrence and others said there are few statistics on murder-suicides, so it is hard to spot trends or draw conclusions. The FBI tracks homicides and health agencies track suicides, but no one has cross-referenced the two statistics, said Kristen Rand, legislative director for the Violence Policy Center. The Washington-based nonprofit organization, which has an anti-gun agenda, has tried three times to track murder-suicides but their limited studies are not definitive. Still, Rand said some patterns are clear.

"The killer is virtually always a male, the weapon is always a gun and the victims are often intimate partners," she said. In the most recent study, covering the first half of 2008, only about 12 percent of cases were related to finances, Rand said. Most involved broken relationships that led to domestic disputes. Rand said she isn't sure why no government agency tracks murder-suicides.

"That's a good question," she said. "There's just never been resources devoted to it." Suicide statistics provided by the Clark County coroner, which might indicate a rise of severe depression in Las Vegas, show no significant upswing or downturn since 2007. But for friends and family of the victims, trends and statistics hold little meaning.

Romano said she hopes people would focus less on the tragedies and do more to help those in need before it's too late. "I think that's what people need to know more than anything else," Romano said. "There is counseling available. ? They won't refuse services to people who aren't able to pay now. They'll get you the help you need. "Those are the things that are important, to focus on prevention and any positive aspects we can find."

AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKEN UP TO THE PLIGHT OF POVERTY OF THEIR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN

On August 29, One DC pulled entirely out of the Parcel 42 tent city, literally pulling up their tents and moving on. The homeless who actually sleep there, however, are staying, despite the withdrawal of support by One DC from this now 7 week long land occupation. Two tents remain standing, both occupied by homeless people every night.

There will still be film showings and a few other social events there, run by Take Back the Land DC, but One DC's supply tent and other resources have been withdrawn. Now, the real question is this: Will Mayor Fenty, the police and DC agencies respect the promise of 14 days notice prior to any eviction they made to One DC, or are the homeless to be treated differently (presumably worse) than NGO activists?

If Fenty's promise of 14 days notice goes the way of his promise to keep Franklin Shelter open, it will be up to the activist community and the voting public to hold him accountable!

Albert Lea, MN - The Good Samaritan Nursing Home in Albert Lea probably isn’t the best place to be if you have Alzheimer’s. Oh, sure, the nurse’s aides are pretty - but they’ll also spit in your mouth, sexually abuse you, and taunt you until you cry. Which would be fine if the girls were working at the Albert Lea Dominatrix Emporium, I guess, but doesn’t work out so well in the dementia unit. After a months-long investigation, four juveniles and two legal adults are facing abuse charges. The two adults are Brianna Broitzman, 19, and Ashton Larson, 18.

I’d be inclined to think that this case was overblown if I were a casual reader. After all, these are two very pretty young white girls, right? They appear to be middle-class at least. Brianna’s old Myspace shows a pretty Albert Lea High School student - popular, on the dance team, not particularly horrid in any way. But your favorite imp was a nurse in another life, and kids, let me tell ya - it’s not easy to get criminal charges filed in nursing home abuse cases. This investigation started in May after allegations of elder abuse were filed that dated back to January. We’re not talking about a two-week he-said she-said thing, here. In early May, a teenage nurse’s aide was being fired from Good Samaritan for swearing in front of a resident. She decided not to go down alone, and blew the whistle on at least four other aides, alleging that they were routinely abusing their residents.

Good Samaritan immediately launched an investigation and reported the alleged abuse to the Minnesota Department of Health. The home also fired the other aides, which tells me that they were cleaning house in a CYA move - but also that they had reason to suspect the informant was telling the truth. Sounds to me like a few charge nurses shoulda gone with ‘em, but hey, that’s just me. On August 28 of this year, the Minnesota Department of Health released their findings in their investigation of the abuse at Good Samaritan. The department investigated five aides and found that four of them, primarily Broitzman and Larson, abused fifteen residents repeatedly or witnessed “verbal, sexual and emotional” abuse and did nothing to stop it. The department filed a civil action to have the aides’ licenses pulled, and turned over their report to police. The police investigation got a little broader and covered eight aides, of whom six have now been charged. Aside from Broitzman and Larson, the remaining four are being charged with legally mandated failure to report abuse - in other words, they knew what was happening and didn’t do anything. Two of the teens, Alicia Heilmann (Myspace) and Morgan Walton (Myspace) were juveniles when the crimes were committed, but are both now 18. They’re being tried in juvenile court.

During interviews with investigators, Brianna Broitzman admitted that she and Ashton Larson took photos and videos of residents for fun. She said that they also poked one female dementia patient in the breast. Ashton Larson was a bit more forthcoming, and admitted to various abuses including spitting, holding her hand over a resident’s mouth, dry-humping residents, sticking her finger in a resident’s anus, touching a resident’s ass, and getting in bed with residents. Er, what? Seriously? Ew. Just ewww, Ashton! Other aides reported that most of the aides knew about the abuse, because it was discussed and laughed over at breaks. Several aides reported that Brianna and Ashton dispensed spankings to residents, teased them, and poked them in the genitals. One girl reported that Brianna mooned a resident up close, sticking her bare butt in the resident’s face, and that Ashton rubbed resident’s genitals in an attempt to get them sexually aroused. Okay, again… say what? Come on, now. And this went on for months without anyone saying a word until some kid got fired for cussing? Something was clearly very wrong at the Good Samaritan, y’all. Brianna Broitzman is charged with three counts of assault in the fifth degree of a caregiver to a vulnerable adult, three counts of criminal abuse of a vulnerable adult, three counts of criminal abuse of a vulnerable adult with sexual contact, one instance of disorderly conduct by a caregiver, and one instance of mandated reporter failure to report. For that, she faces some $22,000 in fines, or a year in prison for each count.

Ashton Larson is charged with two counts of assault in the fifth degree of a caregiver to a vulnerable adult, one count of criminal abuse of a vulnerable adult, four counts of criminal abuse of a vulnerable adult with sexual contact, two counts of disorderly conduct by a caregiver and one count of mandated reporter failure to report. She’s looking at $28,000 in fines, or a year in prison on each count. Here’s the thing, though. Already prosecutors are saying that it’s unlikely the girls will do any jail time at all. Freeborn County Attorney Craig Nelson says that Brianna and Ashton “most likely will face suspended jail sentences and probation, so they’d have the threat of jail hanging over them if they get in more trouble.” Oh, well. That’ll teach ‘em to behave, Mr. Nelson. Really?
