INTERNET CENSORSHIP DWP STYLE

dwp Internet Censorship DWP Style

As you will read elsewhere on site I became the victim of a violation of the Data Protection Act 1998 by the Department for Work and Pensions and dully followed the appropriate procedures for complaint. This was hampered by the fact the DWP lied claiming they did not have the identity of the member of staff who had committed the offence. After many years of being stonewalled and passed pillar to post the DWP let slip they knew the identity of the officer all along and therefore I had become a victim of years of Unlawful Malicious Vindictive Persecution which had resulted in substantial legal fees, the destruction of my marriage and years of stress and years of lost time devoted to the charade.

Unable to obtain redress I set up DWPCorruption.co.uk to warn the public as to the activities of the DWP, the Information Tribunal, the Information Commissioner, the Parliamentary Ombudsman and the disinterest of my Labour MP Ian Pearson. Although it was established I had suffered a breach of data protection, the DWP employed solicitor Nigel Fisher to try to cover up for them. Mr Fisher became aware of the website and threatened the Webmaster with legal action. The Webmaster ignored Mr Fisher’s threats so Mr Fisher had solicitors Field Fisher Waterhouse threaten the host. The host buckled immediately, broke their contract and closed the site leaving us solely with a link to the word “FORBIDDEN”. This reminded me of WW2 movies where, in Nazi Germany, we can see signs, which read: “VERBOTEN!”

A quick visit to Webster’s Dictionary online for “Verboten” brings up the following: “FORBIDDEN, especially: prohibited by dictate.”

Is it we are seeing the Department for Work and Pensions operating under law or simply operating by way of dictatorship? The site now closed, at considerable cost and therefore injury to myself, a new host was obtained namely Pipex. Field Fisher and Waterhouse were soon at it again and this time Pipex buckled and pulled the site. The Webmaster convinced Pipex there was no substance to the DWP’s allegation of defamation. Pipex put the site back up but the sustained attack by Field Fisher and Waterhouse caused them to pull the site permanently. Having likewise suffered a considerable loss of data DWPCorruption.co.uk had to start again to some extent by scratch the site currently cobbled together from old files however restructuring is ongoing and time consuming.

DWPCorruption.co.uk endeavoured to establish from Nigel Fisher what these alleged defamatory comments were as the site exists to uphold the claims of the present Deputy Prime Minister and “provide transparency” concerning her former department the DCA now Ministry of Justice, which is supposed to police the Department for Work and Pensions concerning their lawful or otherwise unlawful conduct. Given the principle role of the site is to expose unlawful and other misconduct by the DWP and related bodies it is important to us that we have our facts right and do not promote material, which is defamatory. Needless to say no matter how much Nigel Fisher was pressed he failed to respond. We conclude therefore his allegations are exactly that, without substance. Given the harassment of the site by the agents of the Department for Work and Pensions I became injured again. The site had no option but to leave the country and obtain hosting oversees.

CARIS defines “asylum-seeker” as: “someone of any age who has fled his or her home country to find a safe place elsewhere.”

DWPCorruption.co.uk, following sustained attack by the UK government is therefore now an Internet Asylum Seeker fleeing the British Dictatorship.

  • TWO WOMEN BARRED FROM FLIGHT FOR REFUSING FULL BODY SCANS

    Muslim woman and companion gave religious and medical reasons for refusing scan at Manchester airport

    Manchester and Heathow are the first airports in Britain to have full-body scanners. Two women, one a Muslim, have become the first people to be barred from boarding a flight because they refused to go through a full-body airport scanner. Manchester airport confirmed today that the women, who were booked to fly to Islamabad with Pakistan International Airlines, were told they could not get on the plane after they refused to be scanned for medical and religious reasons. The women had been selected at random, said the airport.

    The Muslim woman decided to forfeit her ticket and left her luggage at the airport. Her companion also left the airport saying she did not go through the scanner on medical grounds because she had an infection. The full-body scanners were introduced at Manchester and Heathrow last month after the Christmas Day bombing attempt in Detroit. The £80,000 Rapiscan machines show a clear body outline and have been described by critics as the equivalent of "virtual strip searching". While American transport authorities offer passengers a choice between going through the full-body scanner or going through a metal-arch scanner and a physical search, the British government has said that a refusal to go through the body scanner would bar passengers from boarding aircraft. A Manchester airport spokeswoman said: "Two female passengers who were booked to fly out of Terminal 2 refused to be scanned for medical reasons and religious reasons. In accordance with the government directive on scanners, they were not permitted to fly.

    "Body scanning is a big change for customers who are selected under the new rules and we are aware that privacy concerns are on our customers' minds, which is why we have strict procedures to reassure them that their privacy will be protected." A group of Muslim-American scholars, the Fiqh Council of North America, last month argued that going through the scanners would violate Islamic rules of modesty because they expose people's private parts. The pope has also expressed concerns. Heathrow airport has refused to comment on individual cases.

  • U.S. SCHOOL USED SECRET LAPTOP WEBCAMS TO SPY ON PUPILS AND PARENTS AT HOME

    harriton high school A U.S. school district used laptop webcams to spy on students at home, potentially catching them and their families in compromising situations.

    Officials in Philadelphia can activate webcams on the computers without students' knowledge or permission, a lawsuit alleges. Plaintiffs Michael and Holly Robbins suspect the cameras captured students from Harriton High School and family members as they undressed and in other embarrassing situations, it has been alleged. Lower Merion School District officials said the laptops 'contain a security feature intended to track lost, stolen and missing laptops,' and that the feature was deactivated yesterday. 'We can categorically state that we are and have always been committed to protecting the privacy of our students,' he said. Tom Halpern, a 15-year-old from Wynnewood, said students are 'pretty disgusted' and have started putting masking tape over their computer webcams and microphones. 'This is just bogus,' Halpern said. 'I just think it's really despicable that they have the ability to just watch me all the time.'

    The accusations amount to potentially illegal electronic wiretapping, said Witold J. Walczak, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, which is not involved in the case. 'School officials cannot, any more than police, enter into the home either electronically or physically without an invitation or a warrant,' Walczak said. A school district statement released late yesterday said the tracking feature would not be reactivated 'without express written notification to all students and families.'

    The affluent district prides itself on its technology initiatives, which include giving laptops to each of the approximately 2,300 students at its two high schools. Superintendent Christopher W. McGinley did not immediately return a message left yesterday. The Robbinses said they learned of the alleged webcam images when Lindy Matsko, an assistant high school principal, told their son that school officials thought he had engaged in improper behavior at home. The behaviour was not specified in the suit.

    Matsko 'cited as evidence a photograph from the webcam embedded in minor plaintiff's personal laptop issued by the school district,' the lawsuit states. Matsko later confirmed to Michael Robbins that the school had the ability to activate the webcams remotely, according to the lawsuit, which was filed Tuesday and which seeks class-action status. The Robbinses declined to speak with an Associated Press reporter at their home Thursday. Their lawyer, Mark S. Haltzman, did not return messages.

    The U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed the privacy of the home when it ruled in 2001 that police could not, without a warrant, use thermal imaging equipment outside a home to see if heat lamps were being used inside to grow marijuana. Technology or no, Supreme Court precedents draw 'a firm line at the entrance to the house,' Justice Antonin Scalia wrote, quoting an earlier case.

    AIRPORT BODY SCANNERS MAY BE (ARE)UNLAWFUL

    Human rights commission warns of possible breach of discrimination laws

    THE use of body scanners at UK airports may be unlawful, the Equality and Human Rights Commission warned today. Scanners already in place at Heathrow and Manchester Airports may be breaking discrimination law as well as breaching passengers’ rights to privacy, the commission said. It has now expressed its concerns in a letter to Transport Secretary Lord Adonis.

    In it, the commission said it recognised the threat posed by terrorists but that it had concerns “about the apparent absence of safeguards to ensure the scanners are operated in a lawful, fair and non-discriminatory manner”. It added that it also had “serious doubts that the decision to roll this (body scanning) out in all UK airports complies with the law”. The commission’s chairman, Trevor Phillips, said today: “The right to life is the ultimate human right and we support the UK Government’s review of security policies.

    “But, without proper care, such policies can end up being applied in ways which do discriminate against vulnerable groups or harm good community relations. “National security policies are intended to protect our lives and our freedoms, but it would be the ultimate defeat if that protection destroyed our other liberties.” Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Chris Huhne MP said: “The government seems intent on pressing ahead with the use of body scanners without addressing any of the privacy concerns raised by the Liberal Democrats and others.

    “The commission is right to suggest that security measures cannot simply be introduced without due respect for the rule of law.” Matthew Knowles, spokesman for aerospace, defence and security trade organisation ADS, said: “It is absolutely right to ensure that the use of security equipment is in full accordance with the law. “However, the reason for the need for such equipment should not be forgotten. Terrorism poses a real threat.”

    He went on: “The country urgently needs a wide-ranging debate to determine what the travelling public’s views are about aviation security, what their concerns are and what they regard as the necessary measures with which to keep them safe.” A spokesperson for the Department for Transport said: “The safety of the travelling public is our highest priority and we will not allow this to be compromised. However, we are also committed to ensuring that all security measures are used in a way which is legal, proportionate and non-discriminatory. “Given the current security threat level, we believe it was essential to start introducing scanners immediately.”

  • HEATHROW AIRPORT DENIES SHAHRUKH KHAN'S BODY SCANNER CLAIM

    shahruk hkhan BAA has disputed a claim by Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan that his naked image was printed and circulated by body scanner operators at Heathrow Airport.

    The airport owner said the claims made by the My Name Is Khan star on the Friday Night with Jonathan Ross show were “completely factually incorrect”. The 44-year-old pin-up, nicknamed ‘SRK’, said female security staff at the London airport had printed his naked image, as captured by the newly-installed body scanner. He even claimed he had autographed the pictures, although it is not clear if his comments were intended as a joke.

    The star’s claims have resonance because his latest film, My Name Is Khan, which is about racial profiling of Muslims at airports after the September 11 2001 terror attacks. A report last August that he was detained for questioning at Newark Liberty Airport near New York City sparked outrage in India. Appearing on the BBC chat show, he told Mr Ross of his experiences with the new body-scanners, that were introduced at Heathrow on the orders of the UK government in the wake of the transatlantic Christmas Day terror attack on a plane as it neared Detroit.

    He said: “I'm always stopped by the security, because of the name. And I think its okay: the western world is a little bit worried, paranoid and touchy, I guess – and freely when they're frisking you. “I was in London recently going through the airport and these new machines have come up, the body scans. You've got to see them. It makes you embarrassed – if you're not well endowed. “You walk into the machine and everything – the whole outline of your body – comes out.”

    He added: “I was a little scared. Something happens [inside the scans], and I came out. Then I saw these girls – they had these printouts. I looked at them. I thought they were some forms you had to fill. I said 'give them to me' – and you could see everything inside. So I autographed them for them.” However, a BAA spokeswoman said the claims were “completely factually incorrect” because the body-scanning equipment had no capability to print images. She stressed that images captured by the equipment could not be stored or distributed in any form. She also added that the scanners had only been brought into use four days before the chat show was recorded and was only used for departing passengers, making it unlikely – although not entirely impossible – that the Bollywood actor would have used them in any case.

    She said there would be no investigation into his claims because they "simply could not be true". Khan was not immediately available for comment on the BAA denial. He has appeared in more than 70 films, and has consistently topped popularity rankings in India for the past several years.

  • UK AIR TRAVELLERS WHO REFUSE BODY SCANS TO BE BLOCKED FROM FLYING

    If you're planning on flying from any British airport, better get comfortable with the idea of a stranger looking at you naked.

    That's the new rule which went into effect at airports across the United Kingdom at the beginning of February, even as three dimensional body scanners were just being brought online. Not even children are exempt.

    Not all passengers will be affected, however. British publication Daily Mail noted that the new transportation security rules would only mandate a body scan for a small percentage of passengers. British Transport Secretary Lord Adonis said in a Feb. 1, 2010 statement to parliament that a strict code of conduct would govern how nude images of passengers are handled. However, he contended, "given the current security threat level, the Government believes it essential to start introducing scanners immediately." "The Department for Transport has published an interim code of practice for the scanners," the Mail reported. "The officer operating the machine never sees the image, and the employee viewing the scan must be in another room. The scan cannot be saved, printed or transmitted. Passengers can also demand that only officers of their sex see their image."

    The high-tech body scanners can detect hidden objects, such as explosives, even when they are concealed by clothing, unlike the metal detectors passengers walk through in airports worldwide to access flight gates. The scanners are already online at the Heathrow and Manchester airports. A third, Birmingham, will begin using the scanners next month, the Mail added. A prior prohibition against forcing minors to step into the scanners has been removed, the report noted. The scanners had once been snagged in British laws against child pornography, though the Mail's report does not detail how the roadblock was overcome.

    "The image generated by the body scanner cannot be stored or captured nor can security officers viewing the images recognize people," the head of Manchester airport's customer service told the BBC. The British Department of Transportation published a Code of Practice for operation of the scanners, available here. Some selection criteria were not published, The Register noted, because it details allegedly "sensitive" security information. In the United States, 19 airports already use body scanners and more are expected to purchase the technology in the wake of a failed bombing attempt aboard a Christmas Day flight into Detroit.

    "The US alone has 450 airports with about 2,000 security lanes, which gives an idea of the potential" of the market, said Joe Reiss, a spokesman with American Science and Engineering (ASEI), one of the world's four leading makers of full-body scanners, in an interview with AFP. The other manufacturers are two US companies, L-3 Communications and Rapiscan Systems, a unit of OSI Systems, and British rival Smiths Detection. Shares in all the body scanner manufacturers world wide skyrocketed following the failed Christmas Day bombing attempt.

    The BBC have just run a story on London airports using body scanners as well as interviewing various travellers about the impact on their travelling experience. As ever the BBC use the complete and utter numpties who think this is a GOOD idea, convinced that this is for their own security. How far down the road do these people have to go before they say NO NO NO. How about the next step that might be a full rectal examination with NWO thugs shoving torches up their asses , will they still be saying 'WELL ITS FOR MY SAFETY AND SECURITY'. It is quite incredible that travel is becoming almost impossible were you are being FORCED to pass the gauntlet of ever more intrusive technology that the NWO mobsters demand while making massive profits for the Zionist firms producing these machines .

    Just like military equipment suppliers, surveillance and ID systems are a huge money making scam for those companies that are getting the contracts providing STATE spying and for any traveller that still wants to fly anywhere they must pass the demands of systems that Hitler would be proud of. The many dissenters and activists who see the bigger picture and who have resisted these massive changes to our privacy and who now face insurmountable problems when tyrannical regimes are using flying and passport controls to invade our privacy even to the point that they are demanding the disclosure and access to laptops and memory sticks were many of our personal communications are of a sensitive nature and NOT for the eyes of the Nazi's that have taken over many countries governments. A shocking next step in the New World Order planners.

    A Summer of MADness?

    Motorists Against Detection, the vigilante anti-speed camera group have announced a summer of MADness which will see them target for destruction all speed cameras in the UK. It’s now going to be a period of zero tolerance against all speed cameras, said their campaigns director Capt Gatso. The group claims speed cameras are just money-making machines and they have give More..n the authorities long enough to prove their worth. The first camera to fall in the summer campaign is in south east London on the A2 at the Sun in the Sands roundabout on-slip heading northbound towards the Blackwall Tunnel. Capt Gatso, the group's campaigns director, said: "We have completely pulled it out of the ground, it is now lying flat. You can see some of our handiwork posted on www.speedcam.co.uk. He added: In many areas the cameras have not saved one life - the statistics for road deaths haven't gone down. In some areas they have actually gone up - in Essex, for instance, which has a high density of cameras there are more people being killed. We are now planning to target any and all cameras until the Government sees sense and rethinks its road safety policy. Before we had speed cameras we had the safest roads in Europe - since their introduction this is no longer true.

    The announcement will surprise many in road safety circles since the group has publicly declared it would not attack cameras outside schools or on high streets. But Capt Gatso said: We need to focus attention on what the cameras are about. We’ve said we wouldn’t attack the ones in built up and urban areas but that’s not where most of the cameras are. There are a lot of frustrated people among our members who have seen the number of cameras increase while road safety levels have fallen. Indeed, the only thing the cameras have done successfully is to reduce the number of traffic officers patrolling our roads and lose a lot of decent people their driving licences and their livelihoods. MAD is the UK’s only direct action anti-speed camera group and it’s been going since summer 2000. In that time they have taken out just over 1,000 cameras. Their membership who are normally law-abiding people - vary in numbers but there is a hard core of around 200 people throughout the UK who use Internet chat forums, encrypted email and pay as you go phones to keep in touch and plan campaigns. The group says it has perfected a new and quick way of destroying speed cameras which will enable them to destroy a roadside camera in just a few seconds. Capt Gatso added: The Government and the camera partnerships have failed to spin out via their PR campaigns to convince people that the cameras are there for road safety. Motorists know that they aren’t. All it’s done is further damage the police/public relationship and further alienating communities which they desperately need onside at this time. Many cameras have gone up on busy roads without any history of accidents despite that being the main criteria for installation.And all the time the partnerships and the Treasury rake in millions of extra revenue.

    Capt Gatso pointed out that the group is not encouraging dangerous driving or speeding on Britain’s roads. He said: We have said from the beginning that drivers should drive according to the conditions of the road. The police say we need more training and patrols but the Government says we need more fines. But not everyone is paying the fines. Drive a foreign registered car or alter your number plate slightly and you’ll get away with it too. One of the future PR exercises for the shadowy group is for drivers to participate in a day of action called ‘National Cover-Up Your Number Plates Day’ to frustrate parking, bus lane, anpr, congestion and speed cameras. Capt Gatso told us: It will be pandemonium for the authorities. What are the chances of being stopped? We have by default, in the form of number plates on the front and back of our vehicles, a mobile ID card. Now we’ve declared open season on the cameras just keep an eye open for what happens next. This will be civil disobedience on a grand scale covering all areas and people of the country. One thing drivers might consider is that when there’s a police car behind you with its blue lights and sirens on think about family members or friends getting points for going marginally over the limit and don’t let the police past if you don’t think it is safe to do so. Our members don’t. We are always straight out of the way for ambulances and fire engines because we admire the sterling work they do.

    Capt Gatso is a family man from north London. He’s in his 40s, a professional he owns a BMW M3 and is a keen motorcyclist. He said: Most of the organising group are just ordinary blokes with families who are sick of us heading towards a police state. He added that the group’s members were all good drivers, most have a professional driving qualification or ride powerful motorbikes on a regular basis and their aims are to encourage the partnerships to clamp down on speeding in built-up areas and near to schools and hospitals. Capt Gatso, the motorists’ friend, said: What we ultimately want to see is all the UK camera partnerships dissolved into a central ticket office which only concentrates on serious and serial offenders. Each case should be treated as a proper crime and properly investigated. We should be stopping the idiots who get behind the wheel of a car who will speed anywhere but won’t get caught if they avoid main roads and motorways. We want to see a higher police presence of trained officers patrolling the roads and put Britain back at the top of the road safety league where it was before the introduction of these infernal cameras.

    The TSA has a dismal record of enriching private corporations with failed technologies. Will the "digital strip search" device just bring more of the same?

    Scan, baby, scan. That’s the mantra among politicians at all levels in the wake of the thwarted terrorist attack aboard a Detroit-bound passenger jet. According to conventional wisdom, the would-be “underwear bomber” could have been stopped by airport security if he’d been put through a full-body scanner, which would have revealed the cache of explosives attached to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s groin. Within days or even hours of the bombing attempt, everyone was talking about so-called whole-body imaging as the magic bullet that could stop this type of attack. In announcing hearings by the Senate Homeland Security Commitee, Joe Lieberman approached the use of scanners as a foregone conclusion, saying one of the "big, urgent questions that we are holding this hearing to answer" was "Why isn’t whole-body-scanning technology that can detect explosives in wider use?" Former Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff told the Washington Post, "You’ve got to find some way of detecting things in parts of the body that aren’t easy to get at. It’s either pat downs or imaging, or otherwise hoping that bad guys haven’t figured it out, and I guess bad guys have figured it out."

    Since the alternative is being groped by airport screeners, the scanners might sound pretty good. The Transportation Security Administration has claimed that the images "are friendly enough to post in a preschool," though the pictures themselves tell another story, and numerous organizations have opposed them as a gross invasion of privacy. Beyond privacy issues, however, are questions about whether these machines really work -- and about who stands to benefit most from their use. When it comes to high-tech screening methods, the TSA has a dismal record of enriching private corporations with failed technologies, and there are signs that the latest miracle device may just bring more of the same. Known by their opponents as "digital strip search" machines, the full-body scanners use one of two technologies -- millimeter wave sensors or backscatter x-rays -- to see through clothing, producing ghostly images of naked passengers. Yet critics say that these, too, are highly fallible, and are incapable of revealing explosives hidden in body cavities -- an age-old method for smuggling contraband. If that’s the case, a terrorist could hide the entire bomb works within his or her body, and breeze through the virtual strip search undetected. Yesterday, the London Independent reported on "authoritative claims that officials at the [UK] Department for Transport and the Home Office have already tested the scanners and were not persuaded that they would work comprehensively against terrorist threats to aviation." A British defense-research firm reportedly found the machines unreliable in detecting "low-density" materials like plastics, chemicals, and liquids -- precisely what the underwear bomber had stuffed in his briefs.

    Yet the rush toward full-body scans already seems unstoppable. They were mandated today as part of the "enhanced" screening for travelers from selected countries, and hundreds of the machines are already on order, at a cost of about $150,000 apiece. Within days of the bombing attempt, Reuters was reportingthat the "greater U.S. government shift toward using the high-tech devices could create a boom for makers of security imaging products, and it has already created a speculative spike in share prices in some companies." Which brings us to the money shot. The body scanner is sure to get a go-ahead because of the illustrious personages hawking them. Chief among them is former DHS secretary Michael Chertoff, who now heads the Chertoff Group, which represents one of the leading manufacturers of whole-body-imaging machines, Rapiscan Systems. For days after the attack, Chertoff made the rounds on the media promoting the scanners, calling the bombing attempt "a very vivid lesson in the value of that machinery" -- all without disclosing his relationship to Rapiscan. According to the Washington Post:

    Chertoff’s advocacy for the technology dates back to his time in the Bush administration. In 2005, Homeland Security ordered the government’s first batch of the scanners -- five from California-based Rapiscan Systems. Today, 40 body scanners are in use at 19 U.S. airports. The number is expected to skyrocket at least in part because of the Christmas Day incident. The Transportation Security Administration this week said it will order 300 more machines. In the summer, TSA purchased 150 machines from Rapiscan with $25 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds.

    The Washington Examiner last week ran down an entire list of all the former Washington politicians and staff members who are now part of what it calls the "full-body scanner lobby":

    One manufacturer, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, is American Science & Engineering, Inc. AS&E has retained the K Street firm Wexler & Walker to lobby for "federal deployment of security technology by DHS and DOD." Individual lobbyists on this account include former TSA deputy administration Tom Blank, who also worked under House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Chad Wolf -- former assistant administrator for policy at TSA, and a former aide to Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Tex., a top Senate appropriator and the ranking Republican on the transportation committee -- is also lobbying on AS&E’s behalf. Smiths Detection, another screening manufacturer, employs top transportation lobbying firm Van Scoyoc Associates, including Kevin Patrick Kelly, a former top staffer to Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., who sits on the Homeland Security Appropriations subcommittee. Smiths also retains former congresswoman Helen Delich Bentley, R-Md. Former Sen. Al D’Amato, R-N.Y., represents L3 Systems, about which Bloomberg wrote today: "L-3 has ‘developed a more sophisticated system that could prevent smuggling of almost anything on the body,’ said Howard Rubel, an analyst at Jefferies & Co., who has a ‘hold’ rating on the stock."

    In forecasting the fate of the full-body scanners, we can turn to recent history, which saw the rapid rise -- and decline -- of the previous "miracle" screening technology. In the years following 9/11, dozens of explosive trace portals (ETPs) were installed in airports across the country, at a cost of about $160,000 each. These "puffer" machines -- so called because they blow air on passengers to dislodge explosive particles -- were once celebrated as the "no-touch pat down." But in a Denver test by CBS in 2007, a network employee was sprayed with explosives and then walked through the airport’s three puffers without any trouble. The machines also set off false alarms, and they frequently broke down, leading to sky-high maintenance costs. After spending more than $30 million on the puffer machines -- most of them purchased from GE -- the TSA announced earlier this year that it was suspending their use. Only about 25 percent of the machines were ever even deployed at US airports. A report last month from the Government Accountability Office found that the TSA had not adequately tested the puffers before buying them. What will happen if the full-body scanner goes the way of the puffer? Well, there’s always the next generation of security equipment: the Body Orifice Security Scanner, or BOSS chair. This contraption, which has an uncomfortable resemblance to an electric chair, is used in prisons, mostly in the UK, for tracing cell phones, shivs, and other dangerous contraband that’s been swallowed or inserted into body cavities by inmates. So far, it only detects metal, but you never know. Give me a friendly German Shepherd any day.

  • AIRPORT STRIP SEARCH MACHINES TEAR APART DNA

    The latest airport security trend is the backscatter x-ray machine, touted as a powerful way to virtually frisk a traveler for contraband without the embarassment of a strip search.

    Though touted as completely safe because the level of radiation is so low, travelers have been nervous about the devices -- and not just because it shows off a nice outline of their privates to the people manning the machines -- but because they remain scared of the health problems they might propose.

    Looks like a little healthy paranoia might have been a good thing. While the conventional wisdom has held that so-called "terahertz radiation," upon which backscatter x-ray machines are based, is harmless because it doesn't carry enough energy to do cellular or genetic damage, new research suggests that may be completely wrong. Specifically, researchers have found that terahertz radiation may interfere directly with DNA. Although the force generated is small, the waves have been found to "unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the double strand that could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication." I'm not a doctor, but that just doesn't sound good.

    The question now is whether this is or isn't safe. Terahertz waves occur naturally in the environment, and we're hit with them all the time. But should we bombard ourselves with them willingly every time we pass through an airport? No one knows how much terahertz radiation is OK for the body to absorb: Just like sunlight, a little may be fine, while a lot may be deadly. Where does the line get drawn? Who knows? I, for one, am given a little pause by the news, and hope research continues on before these machines become commonplace.

  • MEET THE MEN FROM SERCO WHO REALLY RUN BRITAIN

    serco YOU will probably never have heard of Serco, but they almost certainly have heard of you.

    Serco will be watching if you speed through traffic lights, they will be keeping an eye on you as you fly off on holiday and help monitor your children's school attendance records. Oh, and they'll have emptied your bins, run your sports centre, tidied your park and made sure that Britain's nuclear deterrent is up and running. And in their spare time Serco organises the Queen's flights around the world and makes sure that Greenwich Mean Time is ticking over nicely. Never mind Big Brother ... this is Big Mother, a company that has so many fingers in so many pies it is almost impossible to pin them down. Run by two reclusive multi-millionaires Serco is, literally, everywhere. From an office overlooking the Thames in Richmond, southwest London, Kevin Beeston and Chris Hyman manage an empire that runs... just about everything Serco started out in 1929 when Radio Corporation of America founded a UK branch called RCA Services to support the cinema industry.

    Today its tentacles stretch to operating National Rail Enquiries, managing Royal Navy ports, providing IT for the National Crime Squad and transport in Liverpool, London and Manchester. Over 46,000 employees in 37 countries, including 29,000 here in the UK make sure Serco - an abbreviation of Service Company - keep Britain going. Beeston and Hyman, virtually unknown outside the world of big business, cashed in on a government drive to harness private expertise for public services.

    Beeston, 43, is the son of an Ipswich motor mechanic and joined the company in 1988. He's had a role in most of the corporation's sections before becoming executive chairman in 2002. He is married with three children, and lives in Shepperton, Middlesex.

    Chief executive Christopher Rajendran Hyman, 42, is a born-again Christian who grew up under the apartheid regime in South Africa. After qualifying as an accountant, he moved to Britain where "colour is not an issue" in the late 1980s. A teetotal fitness fanatic, he is married with two children and lives in Oxshott, Surrey. "My faith is very strong. My whole life, I believe, is driven by God," he says. "I'm no genius. What I'm successful for is listening to God." And in the meantime, Hyman, Beeston and presumably God, have run up vast profits...

    Last year Serco posted a 22 per cent rise in firsthalf profits and revealed it has £12.9billion worth of contracts in its order book. But despite the company's huge success Chris Hyman isn't especially interested in the bottom line. Service is the thing. "I tell people here... don't give me a proposal that makes a shed-load of money - instead, will it be a better place when you leave than when you arrived?"

    Hyman doesn't like to talk about it much, but he was in the World Trade Center when the terrorists struck on 9/11. He will only admit that it made a substantial personal impact on him. "I decided to do things that previously I'd thought a bit naff, like taking my wife's birthday off to go shopping. I mean, how naff is that?" Not many days off though - his company aims to further expand its already huge network. But until Serco decides where to get involved next, here's what it's up to now:

    SERCO rakes in vast sums from the Ministry of Defence. It has defence contracts worth more than £2.5billion. One of the firm's first high-profile projects was running the UK Ballistic Early Warning System at RAF Fylingdales. Serco is now directly responsible for maintaining the UK's nuclear warheads and dismantling redundant weapons - a £1.7billion contract. Another major earner for Serco are the contracts to service naval and marine operations around the world, mainly for the Royal Navy. Its technology is also used to provide global satellite communications for the UK armed forces.

    SERCO has around 7,000 offenders in its care every day, as it runs several jails and youth detention centres and is in charge of escorting thousands of prisoners to and from court. Offenders with electronic tags often come under the control of Serco. Four out of 10 people with tags in England and Wales are monitored by the company. The corporation also helps to catch crooks through its contracts with the National Crime Squad. One of its biggest projects is ChildBase, a state-of-the-art image recognition technology to tackle internet paedophiles.

    SERCO is involved in a huge range of transport projects - from the awardwinning to the controversial. It imports Gatso speed cameras from Holland, which account for around 85 percent of the 6,000 cameras on Britain's roads, but was recently forced to admit that the cameras can give false readings. Britain's first toll motorway - a 27-mile stretch of the M6 near Birmingham - is also operated by Serco. Most traffic lights in London are managed by the company, as is 60 per cent of motorway systems technology. Thousands of rail commuters also rely on Serco services every day. The company has a lucrative £400million contract to run the award-winning Docklands Light Railway in east London.

    It also runs the Manchester Metrolink and Merseyrail, a 75-mile network in Liverpool. And it has secured a deal to operate Northern Rail, a new franchise covering the north of England. SERCO has a hand in flights made by almost every passenger from the Queen and Prince Charles to ordinary holidaymakers. It supports the Ministry of Defence at RAF Northolt, the base of the Queen's Flight and which is regularly used by Prince Charles. It employs air traffic controllers around the world who handle six million aircraft movements every year.

    Newquay airport in Cornwall and Scatsta airport on Shetland are operated entirely by Serco staff. And experts from the company run the International Fire Training Centre in Teesside, which trains aviation firefighters to deal with air disasters. PATIENTS at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and Wishaw General Hospital might be treated by doctors and nurses but almost every other aspect of their care is down to workers from Serco.

    The company has a contract to provide catering, security, laundry, cleaning and waste disposal at the hospitals. Scientists from Serco also help cancer patients. It operates the National Physical Laboratory, which makes sure cancer patients receive the right dose of radiotherapy. SERCO helps manage the local education authorities in Bradford and Walsall and provides the technology to make it easier for schools to keep track of timetables, student and staff records and assessments.

    And if you live in Winchester, Serco staff empty your bins, in Bolton they run your leisure centres - and in Moscow they're dismantling your old nuclear reactors. All in a day's work for Serco.

  • NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY TOOK PART IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF WINDOWS 7

    The National Security Agency (NSA) acknowledged having worked with Microsoft on the development of Windows 7 , as testified on 17 November 2009 by Richard Schaeffer, the NSA’s information assurance director, before the U.S. Senate’s Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security.

    The cooperation between the NSA and Microsoft has been an open secret since a the judiciary agreement was reached between the U.S. Government and the computer giant. It is however the first time that official mention of this has been made. In terms of cyber security, over and above the issue of protection from external intrusions, the crux of the matter lies in who is the doorkeeper. In other words, while it is NSA’s prerogative to have sole security access control over the most-widely used software equipment inside the United States, the fact remains that Windows 7 is marketed globally. Undoubtedly, this opens up considerable opportunities for U.S. cyber espionage beyond its borders.

    As for Microsoft, while it has denied that the NSA has the possibility to access Windows 7, it is not in a position to guarantee it. To date, no state is known to have barred Windows 7 software in order to protect its citizens from U.S. espionage.

  • COUNCIL SNOOPERS WATCH US ON 60,000 CCTV CAMERAS

    cctv The number of town hall-controlled Big Brother CCTV cameras has trebled in a decade, it emerged last night. There are now 60,000 cameras trained on members of the public by council snoopers - one for every 1,000 people in the UK. The huge increase has cost hundreds of millions of pounds, including at least £170million in Home Office grants - although there are doubts over whether the cameras actually help catch criminals.

    Many images are so poor they cannot be used to identify violent thugs, while police have admitted as few as one crime is solved for every 1,000 cameras. Privacy campaigner Big Brother Watch uncovered the scale of CCTV use by local authorities using Freedom of Information requests. Director Alex Deane said CCTV was seen as a 'cheap alternative to policing' but its 'ability to deter or solve crimes is sketchy at best'. 'The quality of footage is frequently too poor to be used in courts, the cameras are often turned off to save money and control rooms are rarely manned 24-hours-a-day,' he added. 'We would all feel safer with more police on the beat, there would be fewer crimes and those crimes that do occur would be solved faster.' The study, entitled Big Brother is Watching, found that 418 local authorities control 59,753 cameras. Ten years ago similar research found the total was 21,000.

    The councils with most cameras are Portsmouth and Nottinghamshire, which each control 1,454, the study showed. And barely a part of the country has been left untouched by the rise of the surveillance cameras. Even the remote Outer Hebrides has an astonishing eight CCTV cameras for every resident.

    Big Brother Watch said CCTV is designed merely to appease neighbourhoods suffering from anti-social behaviour problems. The group also warned that, as the number of CCTV cameras increases, so does the potential number of people being watched and the number of council officers watching - with implications for personal privacy and data security. The total of nearly 60,000 cameras excludes thousands used by private companies and central government - with the overall total estimated to be 4million.

    Ministers have said CCTV is an 'important tool' in crime fighting. But a raft of reports have cast doubt on how effective CCTV is. Government research said that instead of catching criminals, the cameras were being used to trap and fine motorists who stray into bus lanes. More than eight out of ten of the cameras do not provide satisfactory images for officers to use, it added.

    Also, very few cameras are positioned in a place that would tackle terrorism, or spot reconnaissance missions by fanatics. Mike Milks, chief executive of Scyron, which helps police analyse CCTV images, said: 'We estimate that about half of the CCTV cameras in the country are next to useless when it comes to safeguarding the public against crime and assisting the police to secure convictions.' Shadow Justice Secretary Dominic Grieve said CCTV must be proportionate and effective.

    'A Conservative government would ensure CCTV is fit for purpose - with appropriate safeguards and sanctions to prevent misuse,' he added. A Local Government Association spokesman said CCTV makes residents feel safer and deters crimes such as burglary.

    'It was footage from these cameras which helped bring the failed July 21 London bombers to justice,' he added. 'In tough financial times, councils are not going to spend money on installing CCTV cameras unless they genuinely believe doing so will help reduce crime, catch criminals and make people feel safer.'

  • SOCIAL NETWORKS OR SPY NETWORKS?

    spy network The government is increasingly monitoring Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites for tax delinquents, copyright infringers and political protesters. A public interest group has filed a lawsuit to learn more about this monitoring, in the hope of starting a national discussion and modifying privacy laws as necessary for the online era.

    Law enforcement is not saying a lot about its social surveillance, but examples keep coming to light. The Wall Street Journal reported this summer that state revenue agents have been searching for tax scofflaws by mining information on MySpace and Facebook. In October, the F.B.I. searched the New York home of a man suspected of helping coordinate protests at the Group of 20 meeting in Pittsburgh by sending out messages over Twitter. In some cases, the government appears to be engaged in deception. The Boston Globe recently quoted a Massachusetts district attorney as saying that some police officers were going undercover on Facebook as part of their investigations. Wired magazine reported last month that In-Q-Tel, an investment arm of the Central Intelligence Agency, has put money into Visible Technologies, a software company that crawls across blogs, online forums, and open networks like Twitter and YouTube to monitor what is being said.

    This month the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Samuelson Law, Technology and Public Policy Clinic at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law sued the Department of Defense, the C.I.A. and other federal agencies under the Freedom of Information Act to learn more about their use of social networking sites. The suit seeks to uncover what guidelines these agencies have about this activity, including information about whether agents are permitted to use fake identities or to engage in subterfuge, such as tricking people into accepting Facebook friend requests.

    Privacy law was largely created in the pre-Internet age, and new rules are needed to keep up with the ways people communicate today. Much of what occurs online, like blog posting, is intended to be an open declaration to the world, and law enforcement is within its rights to read and act on what is written. Other kinds of communication, particularly in a closed network, may come with an expectation of privacy. If government agents are joining social networks under false pretenses to spy without a court order, for example, that might be crossing a line. A national conversation about social networking and other forms of online privacy is long overdue. The first step toward having it is for the public to know more about what is currently being done. Making the federal government answer these reasonable Freedom of Information Act requests would be a good start.

  • VeriChip Buys Steel Vault, Creating Micro-Implant Health Record/Credit Score Empire
  • ANOTHER DANGEROUS STEP NEARER TO THE NWO'S PLANS

    THE NWO NOW WANT TO CONNECT HEALTH RECORDS ON A CHIP WITH YOUR CREDIT SCORE UNDER THE NEW NAME POSITIVE ID

    VeriChip Corporation Agrees to Acquire Steel Vault Corporation to Form PositiveID Corporation

    PositiveID to offer identification tools and technologies for consumers and businesses

    DELRAY BEACH, FL – September 8, 2009 -- VeriChip Corporation (NASDAQ:CHIP) ("VeriChip"), a provider of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems for healthcare and patient-related needs, and Steel Vault Corporation (OTCBB: SVUL) ("Steel Vault"), a premier provider of identity security products and services, announced today that VeriChip has agreed to acquire Steel Vault and form PositiveID Corporation to offer identification tools and technologies for consumers and businesses. In conjunction with the merger, VeriChip plans to change its name to PositiveID and continue to trade on the NASDAQ. PositiveID intends to change its ticker symbol to "PSID" upon closing of the transaction.

    The formation of PositiveID represents the convergence of a pioneer in personal health records, VeriChip, with a leader in the identity security space, Steel Vault, focused on access and security of a consumer's critical data. The companies believe that joining personal health records and identity security solutions provides a solid foundation for organic growth and a strong, flexible platform for future offers. Under terms of the agreement, Steel Vault stockholders will receive 0.5 shares of VeriChip common stock for every share of Steel Vault common stock held. The outstanding stock options and warrants of Steel Vault will also be converted at the same ratio. This merger is a stock–for–stock transaction, is expected to be a tax free exchange, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2009. Regulatory approvals and affirmative stockholder votes are required from VeriChip and Steel Vault. It is expected that Scott R. Silverman, the current Chairman and CEO of VeriChip, will become PositiveID’s Chairman and CEO, and that William J. Caragol, the CEO of Steel Vault, will become PositiveID's President and Chief Operating Officer.

    Commenting on the transaction, Mr. Silverman stated, "We believe the acquisition of Steel Vault will provide a powerful platform to differentiate ourselves among both the consumer and medical community. PositiveID will be the first company of its kind to combine a successful identity security business with one of the world's first personal health records through our Health Link business. PositiveID will address some of the most important issues affecting our society today with our identification tools and technologies for consumers and businesses." Continued Silverman, "VeriChip will be able to market its personal health record offerings to the rapidly growing customers of Steel Vault, while Steel Vault should be able to further expand its customer base by offering a unique suite of both security and healthcare offerings. As we focus on securing consumers' financial information and addressing the critical need for secure, online personal health records, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from federal stimulus funding. We will keep patients involved in their health care as medical records migrate to the Internet." Mr. Caragol stated, "We believe this merger provides value for both companies’ stockholders and enables us to offer customers a broader array of value-added services. PositiveID puts people in control of their personal health records and financial security, bridging the gap between secure medical records and identity security. The formation of PositiveID will facilitate cross-marketing opportunities across our customer bases, enabling both organic growth and growth through acquisition of companies and services that provide complementary identification tools and technologies. By combining these two companies, including VeriChip’s solid balance sheet and Steel Vault’s growing revenue producing identity security business, and continuing the expansion of our product offerings, we believe we can continue to increase our customer retention and maximize stockholder value. On a pro forma basis, PositiveID has more than $4 million in cash and no debt."

    Identity theft is the number one crime in the United States and as many as 10 million people are victims each year. Additionally, medical errors contribute to countless deaths each year due to a lack of or incorrect patient information. PositiveID will address the significant market need to monitor critical data on an ongoing basis to protect consumers and ensure data integrity and safety. Each of the boards of directors of VeriChip and Steel Vault unanimously approved the merger agreement, based on the unanimous recommendation of the special committee of independent directors of the applicable company. The special committees for VeriChip and Steel Vault each retained independent legal and financial advisors to advise its respective committee. Steel Vault hired Hyde Park Capital Advisors LLC and VeriChip hired Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. to provide fairness opinions in connection with the transaction.

  • MOTORBIKE BATTLES OVER PARKING TAX SPYING SCHEME CONTINUES

    no to parking charges To none motorbike riders this may not seem important however this major protest raises the issue of a new form of spying and tax raising network that will affect ALL drivers using any form of transport. Once Westminster gets this permanently in place it will be rolled out across the UK.

    In effect every car or motorbike will be forced to phone VERRUS giving their registration, credit card and location details everytime they want to park anywhere in the UK, this is spying by another name. Parking revenue collection then has a dual purpose in locating every motor vehicles position when parked and a sinister next step in the New World Order plans organised by masons working as councillors and senior executives in councils throughout the UK.

    As Westminster City Council's unprecedentedly delayed decision regarding the permanence of the Motorcycle Parking Tax Scheme (MPTS) continues, thereby delaying our high Court challenge, we are seizing the initiative of demanding a Public Inquiry into both the set-up, and running of PIP. One can only make an educated guess as to Mr Gilchrist's motives. Described by a WCC Councillor as a "one-man selling machine for Verrus", his plan was simple: ensnare as many road-users as victims, and offer other local authorities to follow suit, incentivised by greater revenues and a "tender-process" circumvention ie, join PIP and simply sign up Verrus!

    Well, that was the plan, and with his puppet Councillor Danny Chakley, ready to sign where required, and the oh-so-easily-coerced Built Environment Scrutiny Committee so eager to lap up his silver-tongue phoney justifications, he may well have got away with it were it not for his greed into trying ensnare bikers and scooterists. He certainly did not countenance the community spirit that pervades all motorcycle/scooter riders, and that, unlike car-drivers, we don't take unjust legislation lying down. And, whilst Head of Legal at WCC, Peter Large, may challenge our ability to do anything about the misdemeanours as individuals, he can't stop us from putting our findings in front of those who can.

  • EVERY PHONE CALL, EMAIL AND INTERNET CLICK STORED BY STATE SPYING DATABASES

    computer Every phone call, text message, email and website visit will be stored for a year for monitoring by the state.

    Ministers had originally wanted to store the information on a massive Government-run database, but chose not to because of privacy concerns Photo: GETTY IMAGES All telecoms companies and internet service providers will be required by law to keep a record of every customer's personal communications, showing who they are contacting, when, where and which websites they are visiting. Despite widespread opposition over Britain's growing surveillance society, 653 public bodies will be given access to the confidential information, including police, local councils, the Financial Services Authority, the Ambulance Service, fire authorities and even prison governors.

    They will not require the permission of a judge or a magistrate to access the information, but simply the authorisation of a senior police officer or the equivalent of a deputy head of department at a local authority. Ministers had originally wanted to store the information on a massive Government-run database, but chose not to because of privacy concerns. However the Government announced yesterday it was pressing ahead with privately-held "Big Brother" databases which opposition leaders said amount to "state-spying" and a form of "covert surveillance" on the public.

    It is doing so despite its own consultation showing there is little public support for the plans. The Home Office admitted that only a third of respondents to its six-month consultation on the issue supported its proposals, with 50 per cent fearing that the scheme lacked sufficient safeguards to protect the highly personal data from abuse. The new law will increase the amount of personal data which can be accessed by officials through the controversial Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA), which is supposed to be used for combatting terrorism.

    Although most private firms already hold details of every customer's private calls and emails for their own business purposes, most only do so on an ad hoc basis and only for a period of several months. The new rules, known as the Intercept Modernisation Programme, will not only force communication companies to keep their records for longer, but to expand the type of data they keep to include details of every website their customers visit – effectively registering every click online. While public authorities will not be able to view the contents of these emails or phone calls – but they can see the internet addresses, dates, times and users of telephone numbers and texts.

    The firms involved in keeping the data, such as as Orange, BT and Vodafone, will be reimbursed at a cost to the taxpayer of £2billion over 10 years. Chris Grayling, shadow home secretary, said he had fears about the abuse of the data.

    "The big danger in all of this is 'mission creep'. This Government keeps on introducing new powers to tackle terrorism and organised crime which end up being used for completely different purposes. We have to stop that from happening". David Davis, the former shadow home secretary, added: "What is being proposed is a highly intrusive procedure which would allow Government authorities to maintain covert surveillance on public use of telephones, texts, emails and internet access." He added that the permission to access the data should be granted by judges or magistrates.

    "Whilst this is no doubt necessary in pursuing terrorist suspects, the proposals are so intrusive that they should be subject to legal approval, and should not be available except in pursuit of the most serious crimes," he said. The Information Commissioner’s Office also opposed the moves.

    "The Information Commissioner believes that the case has yet to be made for the collection and processing of additional communications data for the population as a whole being relevant and not excessive." Chris Huhne, the Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman, has criticised the amount the scheme will cost for what is effectively "state spying". He said yesterday: "Any legislation requiring communications providers to keep data on who called whom and when will need strong safeguards on access.

    "It is simply not that easy to separate the bare details of a call from its content. What if a leading business person is ringing Alcoholics Anonymous? "There has to be a careful balance between investigative powers and the right to privacy." Ministers said that they have still got to work with the communications industry to find the correct way of framing the proposals in law – meaning it will not come before Parliament until after the General Election. But the Home Office yesterday insisted it would push the legislation through.

    Jacqui Smith, then Home Secretary, originally launched a paper in April for consultation called "Protecting the Public in a Changing Communications Environment". The responses, published yesterday, disclosed that more than 40 per cent of 221 respondents rejected it outright as the growth of the surveillance state. Of those whose repsonses were considered, exactly half said that the proposed safeguards for the information to be stored were not adequate.

    Only 29 per cent third supported the Government approach, whereas 38 per cent were against it. Meanwhile the communications providers themselves questioned the cost of the scheme and whether it was even technically feasible. The latest figures on the use of the RIPA legislation by public bodies, show that state bodies including town halls made 519,260 requests last year - one every minute - to spy on the phone records and email accounts of members of the public.

    The number of requests has risen by 44 per cent in two years to a rate of 1,422 new cases every day, leading to claims of an abuse of using the powers for trivial matters such as littering and dog fouling. Shami Chakrabarti, director of Liberty, said: "The Big Brother ambitions of a group of senior Whitehall technocrats are delayed but not diminished. "We need a bold alliance of phone companies who fear losing public trust and concerned citizens to come together in opposition to these plans.

    "If the authorities need to build up an intimate picture of a suspect's communications, they should have to go to a judge for a warrant. "Law-abiding people have sustained too many blanket attacks on their privacy and they've had enough." Alex Deane, Director of Big Brother Watch, said it was an "enormous and unwarranted intrusion into every aspect of our private lives" and said that the laws are in effect an "illiberal snoopers' charter."

    John Yates, Britain's head of anti-terrorism, has argued that the legislation is vital for his investigators. The Scotland Yard Assistant Commissioner said: "The availability of Communications Data to investogators is absolutely crucial. Its importance to investigating the threat of terrorism and serious crime cannot be ovetrstated". Home Office Minister David Hanson said: "The consultation showed widespread recognition of the importance of communications data in protecting the public and an appreciation of the challenges which rapidly changing technology poses. We will now work with communications service providers and others to develop these proposals, and aim to introduce necessary legislation as soon as possible."

  • BIG BROTHER AIN'T COMING TO THE UK IT'S BEEN HERE FOR CENTURIES

    big brother As long as Britain has had a shadow government in the guise of freemasonry the UK and its citizens have been spied on by the multitude of agencies set up primarily to keep a close eye on us all . The list is endless but lets take a look at the essential spying tools used by the masonic hierarchy who act for the monarchy to ensure any dissent is squashed and the ruling establishment and self appointed elite can continue to live in the mega rich lifestyles they think they deserve. All on the backs of the rape and pillage of the world through the British Empire.

    Slowly the British public are awakening from the masonic slumber the complicit media has put us under for so long. Information is now no longer the sole preserve of the monsters who have manipulated our minds using the most cunning and deceptive ploys . Psychologists and psychiatrists aiding and abetting the secretive and silent treatment any victim gets when they raise their head to far above the parapet. The monsters who would have hanged a poor beggar 100 years ago for stealing a loaf of bread are the same monstrous mindset today, except they have to be a lot more subtle and devious in how they torture and murder anyone who gets in the way of their plans. They have a massive network, that includes almost every key position of power across the UK , as if you dont sign your soul away to the devil and the monarchy you haven't a hope in hell of reaching the upper echelons of power and the lucrative salaries they create for themselves thanks to how they manipulate the wealth of the UK into their own hands. The recent MP's expenses scandal pales next to the real high flyers hiding in the background who control the puppet politicians hand picked to do the dirty on us all.

    If you are not part of their creepy network of power you can be sure you are a victim and if as a victim you decide to seek justice through what ever means you can , you can guarantee these evil bastards will come out of the woodwork not only to stifle your efforts but to literally destroy your life and your families using draconian measures and through a court system riddled with masonic judges all to happy to please their masters . Those who remain with their heads buried in the sand hoping this is just a nightmare and they will waken up and everything will be alright need to be aware of the evil forces that daily are destroying large swathes of the population who are left destitute and homeless due to a massive conspiracy of all the agencies supposedly charged with our welfare. These agencies are a front for the spy network who know your every move, where your money is kept if you have any and anything that when they do come to fleece you they will have knowledge of everything of value that can be stolen using a court process that is as fraudulent and corrupt as anything across the world.

    We are fighting back, educating those as yet to face the reality, that when one of us is attacked we are all at risk. Endlessly ignoring what is blatantly staring us in the face is NOT what will redress the massive imbalance in power they have given themselves. There are many legal and political activists uniting to defeat this evil empire and the human spirit has an amazing ability to comprehend,analyze and find solutions to a centuries old system of control that has finally been exposed throughout the internet, anyone looking for quick fixes may be disappointed . The media have been expert at hiding all of this and it will all take time for change to show itself.

    However if you believe in karma and that in time those who create evil will get their comeuppance we can offer one case that shows exactly how in time they destroy themselves. A long time campaigner who was part of our group George Farquhar regularly campaigned and protested across Scotland and the UK. The masonic mafia (Speculative club) used Sheriff Lothian(NO JURY) a thug and bully boy to incarcerate George in a psychiatric gulag in Scotland where they attempted to chemically lobotomize him. Fortunately due to exposures at the Scottish Parliament he was released and despite heavy chemical coshs he survived this extreme trauma and is now in Australia. A few years later Lothian was exposed for the true monster that he is as can be seen in the following article.

    gps shoe Like Will Smith in "Enemy of the State" the latest bug designed with dementia in mind?

    GPS-Equipped Shoes Keep Track of Wanderers

    Caring for a loved one with dementia is worrisome, especially if that person is prone to taking flight. Statistics suggest that 60 percent of people with Alzheimer's disease will get lost at least once, said Andrew Carle, director of George Mason University's senior housing administration program. To limit the chaos after an at-risk person walks away on his or her own, two companies have teamed up to produce a shoe embedded with Global Positioning System technology.

    Developed by GTX Corp. and Aetrex Worldwide, the shoe is dubbed the Ambulator, and it "tracks the location and movement history of its wearer, relaying the information to a monitoring center through cellular networks," GTX chief executive Patrick Bertagna wrote in an e-mail. Concerned family members and friends can log in to a Web site or receive alerts that will pinpoint the location of the person wearing the shoe, Bertagna added. There are other GPS gadgets aimed at the Alzheimer's market. The major advantage of the shoe, said Carle, who's also a GTX adviser, "is that we're hiding the . . . technology." The idea is that a person with dementia might have bouts of paranoia but would be unlikely to remember there's a tracking device in his shoe and try to rip it out. Also, Carle said, because people with dementia often retain their habitual memory, they'll be likely to put on their shoes before going out.

    The companies are planning to start selling the shoe next spring for $200 to $300, plus a monthly monitoring fee starting at about $18 per month. Some of the costs may be reimbursed by Medicare, Bertagna said.

  • THE CHIP AT THE END OF THE NEEDLE

    nano Yesterday, 27 August 2009, I was giving an introductory talk about German New Medicine (GNM) near Vienna, Austria. My wife was with me and about 40 listeners. At the end as part of the discussion the swine flu was mentioned and a lady got up and declared the following:

    A friend of hers works for a pharmaceutical company in Vienna and told her that the swine flu injection needles indeed contain nano particles in their very tip, which cannot be detected with the naked eye but are clearly visible with as little as a 12 times magnifying microscope like children’s toy microscopes. The staff of the pharmaceutical company was advised that these nano particles work in the human body like a motherboard in the computer and lots of data can be stored on it, which will make cash cards obsolete. This measure was also intended to do an accurate census and to protect babies, as many mothers would simply "discard" their newborn, without knowledge of the authorities. This lady further disclosed that she was working in the medical field. She had asked a lawyer who came to her as a patient, how it was possible to avoid being chipped. He told her that he was aware of the planned chipping of the population; in fact most upper class members of society were aware of this plan. For this year no forced vaccinations were planned but to rather encourage people through the media to volunteer for the jab.

    In case too few would come forward, forced vaccination was planned for next year. Exempt from those were certain professional groups like the police, medical personal, politicians etc. Being a lawyer, he knew ways for himself to avoid the jab, but for the majority of the population there was no escape.

    Interview with Dr Gert Hamer (GNM) by Helmut Pilhar (Engineer) ,Wednesday, 26. August 2009

    Hamer: Within a few days our worst fears were indeed superseded by this cruel reality.

    Pilhar: Geerd, are you talking about the $1000 fine and 30 day arrest threats for refusal to take the vaccination in the US?

    Hamer: Yes, but the objectors (death chip opposers are traitors) are not going to be put into normal prisons but in especially prepared concentration camps of which hundreds have been prepared all over the country. And you can leave those only by getting chipped. And once you are outside it is open season through the death chip. By chance these people are then going to drop dead like flies after their release.

    Pilhar: Are you talking about the beginning of the great population cull?

    Hamer: It can only mean that. Otherwise it does not make any sense to get the military and the police involved, threaten with such draconian penalties, all just to get the people to participate in a simple seasonal flu shot campaign. It just does not make any other sense. Apart from the fact that there cannot even be a vaccination like that. You vaccinate in October (northern autumn) for the next summer. That is totally laughable. With Tamiflu you can maybe suppress typical healing phase symptoms for 2-3 weeks and even that is totally brainless in the light of GNM.

    Pilhar: It is noteworthy that in the US there are literally many 500,000 plastic coffins stock piled. What for? And apart from that the population has been systematically stripped of weapons and protective dogs.

    Hamer: You can best understand what the intent is by what is NOT talked about. One may talk about the vaccination, but nobody mentions the chip implanting by name. That is really strange because the chipping is the obvious issue in the face of these massive governmental measures. And that the Hitachi chip works and can be combined with the death chip we already talked about during the last interview.

    The same can be seen in how my GNM (German New Medicine) fared. For 28 years one was only allowed to discuss Hamer, the "Unperson", but not whether GNM actually works and whether its claims are repeatable, and can be proven to work, in spite of 30 verified published results. The same applies to Tamuflu! There are endless discussions about Tamiflu causing harm but none about the chip. Of course Tamiflu is harmful, it is a poison. It is also very damaging in the healing process or in the vagotonic phase of a pregnancy (last trimester). But the death chip adds a whole new dimension. That this death chip is going to be used without concern can be seen in the fact that chemo and morphine have been used without concern in spite of final mortality rates of 98%, while 98% could have survived with GNM. Imagine the unscrupulousness of all oncologists, as they are fully aware that GNM adds up from a scientific perspective and works

    Pilhar: It is also very strange that the Americans have created this Marshall Law, under which critics can be easily removed by the thousands and millions. And once you have chipped the people they cannot run away from you anymore.

    Hamer: It is obvious that this chip battle has been under preparation for many years. The idiotic swine flu, that does not even really exist, was actually the wrong tool: 3 dead pigs and one child, dead from who knows what, with that they lied and constructed a worldwide pandemic into existence. But it goes to show what a well organised world press is able to achieve: They can turn a mole hill into a mountain.

    Pilhar: It started with the AIDS lie, then followed the BSE lie. After the 9/11 lie followed the Anthrax lie. Then it was the Bird Flu lie, now it is the Swine Flu lie. Next year we’ll have the Mice Flu lie. It all points to the "Endloesung", the final solution. When everybody has a chip then that will constitute the complete slavery, then everybody can be manipulated and assassinated arbitrarily.

    Hamer: First they jump on the babies and the pregnant women. They are first to be treated with chips and Tamiflu. Many of the pregnant women in their last trimester are going to lose their babies, because Tamiflu is totally toxic. But also the women themselves can die, as their bodies are vagotonic during the last trimester. It is a known fact that during vagotonia one flu shot or one morphine injection can be deadly.

    In the meantime there seems to be some panic in the US. Where in the world can you flee to, people are asking themselves, where will you not be forcibly injected with the death chip and have one free moment away from your enemies? One has to consider realistically what it would be like to carry this death chip and know that any day you can simply be switched off by the Centre in Tel Aviv. You are completely defenceless against that and complaining won’t do you any good: "If I only had known..." Therefore it is really important for the ruling class to keep the people in the dark about it as long as possible. Once the slaves have the death chip implanted they are allowed to know about it. Then they will be like trained poodles. Nobody will dare to speak up. It will be like among the Masonic brethren. Everybody knows that the moment he utters a word of dissent, he will be served poison in the coffee by the always Jewish Grand Master and won’t survive another day. The whole world is going to be a concentration camp full of slaves, except for the members of one religious group. To have the death chip implanted is the potential personal death sentence at any given time.

    How naive do you have to be to demand of Mossad and the CIA to disclose what their real intentions are, "to table the facts"? The mouse never believes the cat will come. In a company with several hundred staff, which produces, or better fills the injection needles for the chip vaccination, it will only need one or two "reliable" people to insert the chip at the end. Then all the other workers can confirm that they knew nothing. This is called "quality control" and "final check" and appears completely normal. Strange is too that every single chip vaccination needle has its own individual code number, which is added to the ID number. Why else would the silly "summer flu shot" needle have its own individual number and why should the passport accompany the supposed flu vaccination? And why do the Americans not want to let anybody into the country who does not have a chip?

    Pilhar: The "Club of Rome" declared in the 70s in one of their publications (possibly in Mankind at the Turning Point ) in effect that either the birth rate would have to be reduced or the death rate increased. The Max Planck Institute believes that the world population must be reduced to 2 billion people. In the US there is the so called "American Stonehenge", a message engraved in 100 ton granite blocks, that the world population has to be reduced to 500 million people, to reach an "Era of Reason". When you look at the supposed issue of "overpopulation" it is interesting to note that apparently the State of Texas alone could feed all 6 billion people. If one piled those 6 billion bodies with an average weight of 80kg and a volume of 80 liters on top and side by side of each other in a cube shape, the sides of this cube would be only 800 meters long. In Austria we could hide such a cube in the next valley. I don’t believe in the so called "overpopulation" but rather suppose that the globalisation fanatics don’t need 6 billion work slaves and therefore want to reduce the population to one tenth.

    Hamer: Helmut, you were right when you said during our last interview on 13 August 2009: "Once they have accomplished that, they have won." Therefore the German New Medicine had to be suppressed, because if this awareness and knowledge had been common place they could not have done it. "Lewwer duad üs Slaav!" Rather dead than slave! (from Pidder Lueng, by Detler von Liliencron). Cheers to the GNM, the New Biological Medicine and a world view of freedom and truth for us all.

  • MET COPS NOW SPY ON MOBILE PHONE SIGNALS

    mobile Knowing how CORRUPT the MASONIC met cops are they wont be using this for what they say they are using it for. Carrying a mobile is like putting a portable tracker onto your clothing that the cops can track and trace.

    Met's portable scanner can spot stolen mobiles

    Police are using a hand-held scanner to detect stolen mobile phones in a campaign against street robbery. The devices, which can detect almost instantly if a phone has been lost or stolen, are being deployed around transport routes in Bromley to deter thefts among mainly young people. The scanner, called Apollo, is linked wirelessly to a national stolen phone database and can electronically read a mobile's serial number - known as an IMEI number - to tell if it has been reported lost or stolen. Officers in Ealing are also using the devices on a trial basis.

    Bromley Chief Superintendent Charles Griggs said: "I want to put the word around that we are out there on the buses and transport routes actively looking for stolen phones. "This is not the complete answer but it is another tool to help us identify stolen property. If we find people with stolen phones, they can be arrested." The scanner's makers claim it is also useful in the fight against more serious crime and terrorism. Andy Gill, managing director of Radio Tactics, said: "Phones are shipped en masse to countries such as Pakistan and Afghanistan where terrorist networks use them as a means of making money."

    Two years ago, mobile phones were involved in half of street robberies and fuelled a crimewave among children. The figures fell when the phone industry agreed to block stolen numbers within 24 hours. Criminals can unblock phones but face prosecution if caught. Industry chiefs say the initiative is working. There were 67,233 mobiles reported stolen in London last year - an 18.5 per cent fall on the previous year. However, police fear the recession and more sophisticated mobile phones will lead to a new surge in robberies.

  • ID CARDS - AN HISTORICAL VIEW

    ID CARD This is one of two Global Research articles exploring the reasons for the introduction of electronic ID cards, worldwide. Already, over 2.2 billion people, or 33% of the world’s population, have been issued with ‘smart’ ID cards. By 2012, the figure will be over 85%.

    These are incredibly powerful systems and their implementation represents a profound social change, yet the public explanations for this project do not seem to add up. Surprisingly, there seems to have been little debate or exploration of the real reasons. To find the answer, we need to dig for ourselves.

    The companion article, ID Cards - a World View, tried to assess this from the political and technological contexts of current ID schemes. This article sets out to find what we can learn from historical precedents. Does history tell us anything about the main purpose of ID schemes? History shows strong recurring themes. Surprisingly, again and again, the main function has been controlling labour and the workforce, to serve the objective of creating a command economy. Suppression of political dissent has been in second place, although often a ‘close second’.

    Napoleon

    The Napoleonic identity card was the main ancestor of all modern ID systems. Its main purpose was to hold down wages, by stopping workers moving around to find better jobs and higher wages. Napoleon transformed the free society of the French Republic into the Empire, a tightly controlled police state. The Republic had created a degree of freedom unheard of in Europe, allowing free speech and giving workers the right to change their job or go somewhere else. By contrast, in most of Europe at this time, including Britain, the majority of the population lived in various forms of bondage, such as indenture. Unfortunately, in France, a free market and mobility of labour were driving up wages.

    In response, the French authorities criminalised industrial action and introduced an ID card for workers, which aimed to do two things: -

    i) make it impossible to change jobs without an employer’s permission and
    ii) restrict movement, by requiring workers to get an impossible string of visas to move legally.

    In 1803, Napoleon’s police chief reinstated the livret or worker’s passbook, used by the Old Regime, updated with new identity features. To get a job, workers had to give the employer their livret ID card. To take a new job, workers had to get their card back, but this required getting their employer’s permission to leave (1). This is a similar situation to human trafficking and slavery in Russia, Eastern Europe or Kuwait today, where gangs control workers by holding their passports. The card also acted as an internal passport, making it very difficult to move to seek better work or better wages. Moving from one town to another required a set of visas in the livret card. Without these, employment was illegal. Napoleon’s ID scheme failed to be completely successful for two reasons: -

    Firstly, there was a labour shortage, due to the war, which made employers willing to take on workers without a card;

    Secondly, the workers had self-help groups, such as the compagnonnages, who helped their fellows find lodgings and employment (1).

    They helped each other get round the system. These networks also formed the basis of organising industrial action. The authorities tried to introduce state welfare schemes and employment agencies, to supplant the compagnonnages, but these were only partially successful. After the retreat of the French Empire, countries often retained the systems of census and control Napoleon had introduced - they were too useful and efficient to abolish.

    Nazi Germany

    By the 20th Century, Germany had become one of the most democratic, tolerant and liberal nations in Europe, with welfare, social insurance and a national health service. How did the Nazis manage to transform this into totalitarianism?

    “By establishing a people‘s registration (Volkskartei - ID card) we will achieve complete supervision of the entire German people” Herman Göring, 938, quoted in The Nazi Census (2)

    “German Jewry did not understand how, but the Reich seemed to be all-knowing as it identified and encircled them... Indeed it was clear to world that the Reich always knew the names even if no one quite understood how it knew the names.” IBM and the Holocaust (3)

    The murderous Nazi people’s register was hugely important in the evolution of ID schemes. It played an integral part not only in the genocide but in identifying and suppressing political opponents. Some of the main lessons from the Nazi scheme are listed below.

    1) Registration started first with employment, regulating workers. The Nazis were obsessed with the economic value of workers, with keeping down pay, eliminating strikers, weaklings and those unable to work. The ultimate aim was to identify productivity as part of Eugenics. One Nazi census organiser expressed this clearly, “The only value of a human being… is his economic value… the monetary worth of human labour productivity” (4) The Nazis created a Work Book, which in turn created files recording the entire course of each person’s life, including periods of unemployment and so-called breaches of work contracts, aiming to identify not only strikers, but also people who took too many days sick leave, changed their job to get better pay, or showed ‘disloyalty’ to their trained career, by working at something different (5). All of these traits were classified as ‘anti-social’ behaviour. There was a planned ‘final solution’ for Aryans, based on social behaviour, aimed at the sick, weak and ‘work-shy’ and also the sexually promiscuous, “clandestine prostitutes” and the ‘subproletariat‘ (6) (7). This was only abandoned in 1941-2 as the war turned against Germany. Murdering middle-class Jews produced an income for the Reich, from their assets, whereas murdering the underclass did not.

    2) The file and computer system were far more important than the ID card itself. The ID card created personal files in an organised, computerised system, designed to gather and classify information, identifying groups of particular interest. The majority of Germans refused to carry ID cards - Himmler continued to complain about this as late as1945. It didn’t matter - your ID card was part of a system that identified you, silently, even when you didn’t carry it.

    3) Census data was crucial to compiling the register. The organisation of the register was derived from census techniques. The computer technology used was developed for census use. Many of the key workers had come from the census. When Holland was invaded, its census records and census workers were put to use identifying the nation’s Jews, quickly and thoroughly. Many census workers showed professional commitment to identification and registration of the population, indifferent to the human consequences. Not just in Nazi Germany - in Holland, for example, the head of the national census, Jacobus Lentz, was crucial to its ‘success‘ of the identification and ‘deportation’ of Holland’s Jews, working with enthusiastic professional zeal (8). Census and statistical systems should not be regarded as something objective or neutral. The process of making statistics is not merely about gathering data, but mainly about analysing it - dividing the population into groups and segments. This means census statistics are by nature divisive, hence very political and potentially very dangerous.

    4) Information was also brought into the new identity register from other existing data registers, such as health, insurance and welfare records, parish records, records of births and deaths. Welfare and health schemes, originally for the workers’ benefit, fed into the Nazi scheme, providing identifying information and productivity data. The Nazis then reversed the original purpose, singling out the weak and unsuccessful for sterilisation and euthanasia. In the final version of the Nazi register, the ID number, or ‘Reich Personnel Number‘, became an index coordinating all other databases, to be able to gather and collate information from all government functions, with the aim of “Total Observation of Life” (9). Although initially, this was about gathering more complete data, hence making the system inescapable, it also grew into a larger process: - coupling all these other functions to the political agenda. When health records could mark a person for euthanasia or sterilisation (e.g. for a case of TB), all doctors found themselves part of the political system.

    5) Efficient division and classification of the population into sub-groups was essential to policies of ‘divide and rule’, to find necessary collaborators and to divide opposition. The census and registration systems made this possible, and the Nazi occupations and genocides utilised and depended upon this, as was clearly stated by Himmler himself (10). The occupations and genocide may have been brutal, but they were not crude exercises in brute force - they had to operate extremely efficiently, with very limited resources.

    6) Support from the US was crucial to the development of the Nazi system. This was multi-layered. Before the Nazi’s came to power, there was support for the German eugenics and genetics research from the Rockefeller Foundation (11), which enabled the development of statistical and census techniques, and sponsored key figures such as Siegfried Koller, who became central organisers in the registration and genocide. There was extensive cooperation and technical support from IBM, providing the computing systems without which the whole project would have failed (3).

    Finally there was Anglo-US support for Hitler and the Nazis’ rise to power, with money and arms, featuring prominent bankers and industrialists, and figures such as Prescott Bush (12), later US Secretary of State and grandfather of President George W. Bush. (The article Profits über Alles! American Corporations and Hitler, by Dr. Jacques R. Pauwels, is a good introduction to this subject)7) Development of ‘successful’ systems did not end with the war or the fall of the Nazis. The statisticians and bureaucrats who organised the genocide continued their work. For example, Siegfried Koller, became head of the German national census and department of population statistics, retiring in 1978. Post-war, he continued to develop the methods he had started under the Nazis, applying them to medical statistics and adapting them to new electronic computers (13).

    China

    Mao’s China implemented Napoleon’s two restrictions: - preventing workers from changing jobs without permission and preventing them from moving location. China operated two systems, one for each function. Mao expanded the identity workbook into a system called the Dang-an or dossier, and compiled lifetime personal files, from school. Employees could not start a new job without their Dang-an dossier being released by their former employer, hence without permission. (This new system should not be confused with an earlier historical system, also called Dang-an, which only monitored nobles.)

    The dossier made the employer and workplace the focus of state data-gathering, with the employer also gathering information about the worker’s views and attitudes.

    The practice of keeping worker and professional files was borrowed from the former Soviet Union's worker records. ..to meet and satisfy... labour discipline and quality control in factories and work units. The initial form of files, resembling the Soviet workbook system, included such components as work registration cards, work guarantee books, and other duty- or performance-related recording and scrutinizing devices.

    ...the early form was overhauled with political, ideological and moral details added to its main body of content. ... the practice demonstrates the extension and intensification of the discipline regime.

    Later years of politicisation under.. the Cultural revolution sent the political and ideological components to an even higher level ...for a better understanding of individual thoughts and acts... Individuals were given no escape from authority's scrutiny of their daily life and work activities. (14)

    People came to self-censor their thoughts and actions, concerned that a careless remark could put a black mark on their dossier which could blight their promotion and possibly their whole lives. A separate residential registration system also existed - so-called household registration - which prevented Chinese workers from moving to a different area, without permission. There had been systems of self-help and mutual welfare in China - Mao was careful to supplant these, as potential sources of resistance. Welfare and support were part of a matrix of control, designed to produce dependence. Interestingly, by the 90s, the state felt no need to maintain these any longer, abolishing them in the economic reforms.

    The Dang-an system started to break down in the 1990’s due to forces produced by globalisation. Foreign firms entering China did not keep Dang-an records and also employed workers without Dang-an dossiers. Large-scale migration from rural areas was required, to provide a labour force for new urban industries. It was decided to encourage illegal, rather than legal, migration. The rural migrants were employed without Dang-an dossiers, either illegally or as so-called ‘part-time‘ workers, exempt from Dang-an files. The Maoists never pursued equality, preferring instead to create an unequal system, where some workers, such as those in large state industries (the Danwei), enjoyed generous benefits and privileges, from which the majority of workers were excluded. This had produced frequent major disturbances from the early 1950s onwards. Giving workers extra privileges was sometimes necessary, to maintain stability, but did not produce dependable loyalty (15). It appears a decision had been made not to increase the privileged class more than necessary, but instead to create an excluded, disenfranchised underclass, living in furtive illegality. Illegal workers have no rights and no bargaining power. Just as the economy of California depended on large numbers of illegal Mexican immigrants, so China would exploit illegal immigrants from rural areas, only on a much larger scale, designing their economy around this.

    A new system was needed, that could track this mobile population, moving both geographically and between different employers, and could track people living illegally, trying to avoid attention from the authorities. The US offered China a technological solution, in the form of modern smart ID and database systems, just as it had helped the Nazis, 60 years earlier.

    The Present Day - World ID Schemes

    1) Employment is one of the spheres to be governed by ID schemes. This is happening under the guise of ‘controlling illegal migrant labour’. Workers will have to show an ID document to start work. In the USA, eligibility to work will be determined by a system called E-Verify, currently in phased implementation. In Britain, to start a job, workers already have to produce one of the ‘designated’ ID documents (e.g. passport), which will be linked to the ID registration scheme.

    2) Population registers are being complied from existing databases, such as tax, health and national assistance, much as happened in Germany. An example would be the Citizen Information Register in Britain : -
    It will include their name, address, date of birth, sex, and a unique personal number to form a "more accurate and transparent" database than existing national insurance, tax, medical, passport, voter and driving licence records. …

    The Home Office… admitted a national identity card scheme will have to be "underpinned by a database of all UK residents" and asked for views on whether the citizens information register should be used for this purpose … (16)

    3) The ID number will become a central index for accessing personal information from all other databases, much like the Reich Personnel Number in Germany.

    4) There is an intention to integrate and coordinate different services, such as health and education, to make them function together as part of one system, sharing data. This is clearly expressed in projects such as ‘Transformational Government’ in Britain, which place great emphasis on sharing data between different services, departments, national and local government.

    5) The new ID systems will compile lifetime dossiers on every individual, automatically.

    6) US population registration in Iraq, with biometric ID cards, has helped to divide the community into ethnic groups, now at war with each other, where no meaningful ethnic divisions existed before. US military anthropology programmes study community dynamics, classify and divide communities into sub-groups, assessed for usefulness, willingness to collaborate, to find allies, and to ‘divide and rule’.

    This is comparable to Nazi use of census and registration, to ’divide and rule’ in occupied territories.

    Resisting the Agenda

    It simply isn’t true there is nothing we can do, even though we have left it pretty late. A few hours before Adolf Eichmann was executed, a prison warden asked him, "What should the Jews have done? How could they have resisted?" Eichmann replied "...We would have been at a loss if they had disappeared before being registered... The number of our commandos was very small, and even if the police had helped us with all they had, their chances would have been at least fifty-fifty. ...A mass flight would have been disastrous for us." (17)

    A few thousand Jews survived in Germany through it all, to see the Nazis out. Predominantly, these were people who avoided identification by changing address and identity at the time of registration. Those who escaped identification and ‘isolation’ in ghettoes generally escaped altogether. The Census is an integral part of the identity registration system, something dangerous, to be avoided. Bureaucrats have killed people, just as surely as soldiers with guns. Another lesson from history is that identity systems require dependency to provide control. They have to be inescapable to work. Both Napoleon and Mao felt their authority undermined by workers’ self-help and welfare groups, where people helped each other out and disseminated information on how to get around the system. Effective organisations that were independent of state monitoring or control ran counter to the aims of identity controls.

    The Nazis didn’t have to overcome self-help groups, ironically because a previous liberal regime had supplanted them with effective state welfare. Is it a coincidence that the Nazis targeted groups with their own self-help and information networks, such as the Freemasons? In a situation today, where corporate and government power have fused in symbiosis, self-help would need to avoid dependence on either government or corporations, and perhaps even avoid dependence on money. However, the main lesson is that once modern systems of population registration are implemented, they become progressively more developed and secure, until they have an inescapable, vice-like control. It is essential to prevent them from being introduced at all.

    PRINCESS DIANA WAS RIGHT TO BE WORRIED

    diana The fears of Diana, Princess of Wales, for her safety and her preoccupation with surveillance were “entirely justified”, Michael Mansfield says today. The QC, the best-known brief at the Bar, says that the predictions of the late Princess “came to pass” and that Britain has slid seamlessly into George Orwell’s “Big Brother” society. In an extract from his autobiography published in The Times today, the QC says that it was “utterly reasonable for the Princess to suppose that Big Brother was looking over her shoulder, that her telephone communications were being tapped and her movements by car were being tracked”.

    She had a “credible and understandable basis for her belief”, he says in Memoirs of a Radical Lawyer. There is now “CCTV on every corner”; traffic cameras track car numberplates; credit and debit cards reflect movement and use; satellites track mobile phones; and there are “vast databases”, he writes. “There is now the prospect of a cashless, chequeless society in which the mobile phone alone will be used as the mechanism of payment for goods, so every purchase will be monitored.

    “And then we have the ‘toolkit’ issued to teachers for the purpose of the ‘Prevent agenda’ by which pupils’ behaviour and thinking are to be reported to the authorities, should it disclose Islamic radicalisation. And don’t forget the ID card.” Mr Mansfield acted for Mohamed Al Fayed, the Harrods owner, whose son Dodi was killed in the Paris car crash with the Princess, at their inquests. In his book the QC, 67, who is stepping down from full-time work at the Bar, condemns the “surreal proposals” for a centralised database monitoring every call or e-mail. “That these surreal proposals should even be contemplated shows how far beyond Orwell’s worst fears we have travelled.

    “The whole idea of Big Brother is now part of mainstream cheap light entertainment . . . this is both sinister and symbolic.It’s Jim Carrey’s film The Truman Show for real.” Elsewhere in his book, which spans many highly publicised trials of recent decades, Mr Mansfield gives his views on his own profession; on the state of the criminal law; on how he became a hated lawyer facing death threats whose mission was to fight for the underdog and pursue miscarriages of justice. Writing about acting for suspected IRA terrorists, Mr Mansfield, who is from North London, states: “Although my own upbringing in suburban Whetstone was a world away from the experiences of the young people whose civil rights had been severely oppressed in Northern Ireland — bad housing, unemployment, prohibited protest marches, internment, and so on — I have always been fascinated by Irish history, and a new world opened up when I started representing Irish clients.”

    In 1973 Mr Mansfield’s own car was blown up in the Old Bailey bomb. A few days later he was asked to defend the Price sisters, two of those charged over the explosion, which was the first Irish bomb attack on the mainland since the 1890s. It was not easy to find a barrister to take the case. “I was filled with trepidation about taking on a case that had generated so much public hatred . . . but that didn’t stop me,” Mr Mansfield writes.

    He recalls visiting those accused, in prison, and then feeling a “tide of rising anger on hearing how their basic human rights were being denied as Catholics”. His mother had thought it “unthinkable” that he should represent Irish terrorists. “It was as if I had become Irish myself.”

  • THE MICROCHIP HIDDEN AGENDA

    chip3 One generation is all they need

    One day we will all happily be implanted with microchips, and our every move will be monitored. The technology exists; the only barrier is society's resistance to the loss of privacy. An expert on surveillance and society lays out how corporations and governments will use this technology.

    By the time my four-year-old son is swathed in the soft flesh of old age, he will likely find it unremarkable that he and almost everyone he knows will be permanently implanted with a microchip. Automatically tracking his location in real time, it will connect him with databases monitoring and recording his smallest behavioural traits. Most people anticipate such a prospect with a sense of horrified disbelief, dismissing it as a science-fiction fantasy. The technology, however, already exists. For years humane societies have implanted all the pets that leave their premises with a small identifying microchip. As well, millions of consumer goods are now traced with tiny radio frequency identification chips that allow satellites to reveal their exact location. A select group of people are already "chipped" with devices that automatically open doors, turn on lights, and perform other low-level miracles. Prominent among such individuals is researcher Kevin Warwick of Reading University in England; Warwick is a leading proponent of the almost limitless potential uses for such chips. Other users include the patrons of the Baja Beach Club in Barcelona, many of whom have paid about $150 (U.S.) for the privilege of being implanted with an identifying chip that allows them to bypass lengthy club queues and purchase drinks by being scanned. These individuals are the advance guard of an effort to expand the technology as widely as possible.

    From this point forward, microchips will become progressively smaller, less invasive, and easier to deploy. Thus, any realistic barrier to the wholesale "chipping" of Western citizens is not technological but cultural. It relies upon the visceral reaction against the prospect of being personally marked as one component in a massive human inventory. Today we might strongly hold such beliefs, but sensibilities can, and probably will, change. How this remarkable attitudinal transformation is likely to occur is clear to anyone who has paid attention to privacy issues over the past quarter-century. There will be no 3 a.m. knock on the door by storm troopers come to force implants into our bodies. The process will be more subtle and cumulative, couched in the unassailable language of progress and social betterment, and mimicking many of the processes that have contributed to the expansion of closed-circuit television cameras and the corporate market in personal data. A series of tried and tested strategies will be marshalled to familiarize citizens with the technology. These will be coupled with efforts to pressure tainted social groups and entice the remainder of the population into being chipped. This, then, is how the next generation will come to be microchipped.

    masonichip2 It starts in distant countries. Having tested the technology on guinea pigs, both human and animal, the first widespread use of human implanting will occur in nations at the periphery of the Western world. Such developments are important in their own right, but their international significance pertains to how they familiarize a global audience with the technology and habituate them to the idea that chipping represents a potential future. An increasing array of hypothetical chipping scenarios will also be depicted in entertainment media, furthering the familiarization process. In the West, chips will first be implanted in members of stigmatized groups. Pedophiles are the leading candidate for this distinction, although it could start with terrorists, drug dealers, or whatever happens to be that year's most vilified criminals. Short-lived promises will be made that the technology will only be used on the "worst of the worst." In fact, the wholesale chipping of incarcerated individuals will quickly ensue, encompassing people on probation and on parole.

    Even accused individuals will be tagged, a measure justified on the grounds that it would stop them from fleeing justice. Many prisoners will welcome this development, since only chipped inmates will be eligible for parole, weekend release, or community sentences. From the prison system will emerge an evocative vocabulary distinguishing chippers from non-chippers. Although the chips will be justified as a way to reduce fraud and other crimes, criminals will almost immediately develop techniques to simulate other people's chip codes and manipulate their data. The comparatively small size of the incarcerated population, however, means that prisons would be simply a brief stopover on a longer voyage. Commercial success is contingent on making serious inroads into tagging the larger population of law-abiding citizens. Other stigmatized groups will therefore be targeted. This will undoubtedly entail monitoring welfare recipients, a move justified to reduce fraud, enhance efficiency, and ensure that the poor do not receive "undeserved" benefits.

    Once e-commerce is sufficiently advanced, welfare recipients will receive their benefits as electronic vouchers stored on their microchips, a policy that will be tinged with a sense of righteousness, as it will help ensure that clients can only purchase government-approved goods from select merchants, reducing the always disconcerting prospect that poor people might use their limited funds to purchase alcohol or tobacco. Civil libertarians will try to foster a debate on these developments. Their attempts to prohibit chipping will be handicapped by the inherent difficulty in animating public sympathy for criminals and welfare recipients — groups that many citizens are only too happy to see subjected to tighter regulation. Indeed, the lesser public concern for such groups is an inherent part of the unarticulated rationale for why coerced chipping will be disproportionately directed at the stigmatized. The official privacy arm of the government will now take up the issue. Mandated to determine the legality of such initiatives, privacy commissioners and Senate Committees will produce a forest of reports presented at an archipelago of international conferences. Hampered by lengthy research and publication timelines, their findings will be delivered long after the widespread adoption of chipping is effectively a fait accompli. The research conclusions on the effectiveness of such technologies will be mixed and open to interpretation.

    Officials will vociferously reassure the chipping industry that they do not oppose chipping itself, which has fast become a growing commercial sector. Instead, they are simply seeking to ensure that the technology is used fairly and that data on the chips is not misused. New policies will be drafted. Employers will start to expect implants as a condition of getting a job. The U.S. military will lead the way, requiring chips for all soldiers as a means to enhance battlefield command and control — and to identify human remains. From cooks to commandos, every one of the more than one million U.S. military personnel will see microchips replace their dog tags. Following quickly behind will be the massive security sector. Security guards, police officers, and correctional workers will all be expected to have a chip. Individuals with sensitive jobs will find themselves in the same position.

    The first signs of this stage are already apparent. In 2004, the Mexican attorney general's office started implanting employees to restrict access to secure areas. The category of "sensitive occupation" will be expansive to the point that anyone with a job that requires keys, a password, security clearance, or identification badge will have those replaced by a chip. Judges hearing cases on the constitutionality of these measures will conclude that chipping policies are within legal limits. The thin veneer of "voluntariness" coating many of these programs will allow the judiciary to maintain that individuals are not being coerced into using the technology. In situations where the chips are clearly forced on people, the judgments will deem them to be undeniable infringements of the right to privacy. However, they will then invoke the nebulous and historically shifting standard of "reasonableness" to pronounce coerced chipping a reasonable infringement on privacy rights in a context of demands for governmental efficiency and the pressing need to enhance security in light of the still ongoing wars on terror, drugs, and crime.

    At this juncture, an unfortunately common tragedy of modern life will occur: A small child, likely a photogenic toddler, will be murdered or horrifically abused. It will happen in one of the media capitals of the Western world, thereby ensuring non-stop breathless coverage. Chip manufactures will recognize this as the opportunity they have been anticipating for years. With their technology now largely bug-free, familiar to most citizens and comparatively inexpensive, manufacturers will partner with the police to launch a high-profile campaign encouraging parents to implant their children "to ensure your own peace of mind." Special deals will be offered. Implants will be free, providing the family registers for monitoring services. Loving but unnerved parents will be reassured by the ability to integrate tagging with other functions on their PDA so they can see their child any time from any place. Paralleling these developments will be initiatives that employ the logic of convenience to entice the increasingly small group of holdouts to embrace the now common practice of being tagged. At first, such convenience tagging will be reserved for the highest echelon of Western society, allowing the elite to move unencumbered through the physical and informational corridors of power. Such practices will spread more widely as the benefits of being chipped become more prosaic. Chipped individuals will, for example, move more rapidly through customs.

    Indeed, it will ultimately become a condition of using mass-transit systems that officials be allowed to monitor your chip. Companies will offer discounts to individuals who pay by using funds stored on their embedded chip, on the small-print condition that the merchant can access large swaths of their personal data. These "discounts" are effectively punitive pricing schemes, charging unchipped individuals more as a way to encourage them to submit to monitoring. Corporations will seek out the personal data in hopes of producing ever more fine-grained customer profiles for marketing purposes, and to sell to other institutions. By this point all major organizations will be looking for opportunities to capitalize on the possibilities inherent in an almost universally chipped population. The uses of chips proliferate, as do the types of discounts. Each new generation of household technology becomes configured to operate by interacting with a person's chip. Finding a computer or appliance that will run though old-fashioned "hands-on"' interactions becomes progressively more difficult and costly. Patients in hospitals and community care will be routinely chipped, allowing medical staff — or, more accurately, remote computers — to monitor their biological systems in real time.

    Eager to reduce the health costs associated with a largely docile citizenry, authorities will provide tax incentives to individuals who exercise regularly. Personal chips will be remotely monitored to ensure that their heart rate is consistent with an exercise regime. By now, the actual process of "chipping" for many individuals will simply involve activating certain functions of their existing chip. Any prospect of removing the chip will become increasingly untenable, as having a chip will be a precondition for engaging in the main dynamics of modern life, such as shopping, voting, and driving. The remaining holdouts will grow increasingly weary of Luddite jokes and subtle accusations that they have something to hide. Exasperated at repeatedly watching neighbours bypass them in "chipped" lines while they remain subject to the delays, inconveniences, and costs reserved for the unchipped, they too will choose the path of least resistance and get an implant.

    In one generation, then, the cultural distaste many might see as an innate reaction to the prospect of having our bodies marked like those of an inmate in a concentration camp will likely fade. In the coming years some of the most powerful institutional actors in society will start to align themselves to entice, coerce, and occasionally compel the next generation to get an implant.

    Now, therefore, is the time to contemplate the unprecedented dangers of this scenario. The most serious of these concern how even comparatively stable modern societies will, in times of fear, embrace treacherous promises. How would the prejudices of a Joe McCarthy, J. Edgar Hoover, or of southern Klansmen — all of whom were deeply integrated into the American political establishment — have manifest themselves in such a world? What might Hitler, Mao or Milosevic have accomplished if their citizens were chipped, coded, and remotely monitored? Choirs of testimonials will soon start to sing the virtues of implants. Calm reassurances will be forthcoming about democratic traditions, the rule of law, and privacy rights. History, unfortunately, shows that things can go disastrously wrong, and that this happens with disconcerting regularity. Little in the way of international agreements, legality, or democratic sensibilities has proved capable of thwarting single-minded ruthlessness. "It can't happen here" has become the whispered swan song of the disappeared. Best to contemplate these dystopian potentials before we proffer the tender forearms of our sons and daughters. While we cannot anticipate all of the positive advantages that might be derived from this technology, the negative prospects are almost too terrifying to contemplate.

  • BIG BROTHER BRITAIN HAS MORE CCTV CAMERAS THAN CHINA

    cctv Big Brother: It has been revealed that there are 4.2million closed circuit TV cameras in the UK

    Britain has one and a half times as many surveillance cameras as communist China, despite having a fraction of its population, shocking figures revealed yesterday. There are 4.2million closed circuit TV cameras here, one per every 14 people. But in police state China, which has a population of 1.3billion, there are just 2.75million cameras, the equivalent of one for every 472,000 of its citizens.

    Simon Davies from pressure group Privacy International said the astonishing statistic highlighted Britain's 'worrying obsession' with surveillance. 'Britain has established itself as the model state that the Chinese authorities would love to have,' he said. 'As far as surveillance goes, Britain has created the blueprint for the 21st century non-democratic regime. 'It was not intended but it has certainly been the consequence.'

    It is estimated that Britain has 20 per cent of cameras globally and that each person in the country is caught on camera an average of 300 times daily. The Chinese Government revealed the number of cameras it has as it announced plans to expand CCTV surveillance.

    It began widespread installation of cameras in 2003 to bolster its system of extreme state control which hails back to the dark days of Chairman Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution. A Chinese worker installs a security camera near a new subway station in Beijing The government also deploys millions of security personnel, which include uniformed, official security guards who work along side police, patrolling the streets and others who bug phones, scour the internet for sensitive material and block international TV news bulletins.

    China's Public Security Ministry said in the news release that its cameras are the most visible components of police surveillance and notification systems installed around the country. Most of the cameras are in urban areas, with 265,000 in the capital Beijing alone, but the government said it plans to expand the use of security cameras in the countryside. It said the increase would 'put the safety of the broad masses of the people first and foremost.'

    It also intends to combine surveillance cameras with new face recognition software, which has raised concerns about how the equipment will be used. It is not clear how many surveillance cameras in China use such software. Figures released today showed that in Britain the number of Big Brother snooping missions by police, town halls and other public bodies has soared by 44 per cent in two years. One request is made every minute for officials to spy on someone's phone records or email accounts.

    Last year there were 504,073 new cases - an average of 1,381 a day. It is the equivalent of one adult in 78 coming under state-sanctioned surveillance under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.

  • A REQUEST TO SNOOP ON THE PUBLIC EVERY 60 SECONDS

    cctv Councils, police and other public bodies are seeking access to people’s private telephone and email records almost 1,400 times a day, new figures have disclosed.
    The authorities made more than 500,000 requests for confidential communications data last year, equivalent to spying on one in every 78 adults, leading to claims that Britain had “sleepwalked into a surveillance society”. An official report also disclosed that hundreds of errors had been made in these “interception” operations, with the wrong phone numbers or emails being monitored. The figures will fuel concerns over the use of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act by public bodies.

    The Act gives authorities – including councils, the police and intelligence agencies – the power to request access to confidential communications data, including lists of telephone numbers dialled and email addresses to which messages have been sent. Councils have been accused of using the powers, which were originally intended to tackle terrorism and organised crime, for trivial matters such as littering and dog fouling. Only last month, it emerged that councils and other official bodies had used hidden tracking devices to spy on members of the public. The latest figures were compiled by Sir Paul Kennedy, the interception of communications commissioner, who reviews requests made under the Act. They relate to monitoring communication “traffic” – such as who is contacting whom, when and where and which websites are visited, but not the content of conversations or messages themselves.

    Sir Paul found that last year a total of 504,073 such requests were made. The vast majority were made by the police and security services but 123 local councils made a total of 1,553 requests for communications data. Some councils sought lists of the telephone numbers that people had dialled. Amid growing unease about surveillance powers, ministers issued new guidelines last year about their use. Despite the promised crackdown, the 2008 figure is only slightly lower than 2007’s 519,260 requests. In April, the Home Office said it would go ahead with plans to track every phone call, email, text message and website visit made by the public, in order to combat terrorists and other criminals.

    Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman, said: “It cannot be a justified response to the problems we face in this country that the state is spying on half a million people a year. “We have sleepwalked into a surveillance state but without adequate safeguards.”

    Sir Paul found 595 errors in interception requests last year, including mistakes by MI5 and MI6, the intelligence agencies. However, he defended councils over their use of the Act, concluding: “It is evident that good use is being made of communications data to investigate the types of offences that cause harm to the public.”

    His report even encourages councils to acquire more communications data, saying that “local authorities could often make more use of this powerful tool to investigate crimes”. A Home Office spokesman said: “It’s vital that we strike the right balance between individual privacy and collective security and that is why the Home Office is clear these powers should only be used when they are proportionate.”

    cctv Big Brother: Stockwell Park High has installed nearly 100 security cameras

    A school has installed nearly 100 security cameras to monitor classrooms, corridors and play areas, it emerged yesterday. The £60,000-a-year surveillance system at Stockwell Park High is believed to be the most extensive in a school. Cameras also film lessons to help staff improve their technique and may be used to expose poor teaching.

    The comprehensive intends to kit out every classroom with the technology because staff say it helps tackle truancy, indiscipline and false allegations against them. Teachers' leaders last night warned against using the 'Big Brotherish' system. Almost 100 schools have introduced similar in- class cameras while a quarter use some kind of CCTV, mainly for security reasons. But the average number of classrooms fitted with the technology is five, while Stockwell Park High, in South London, has two cameras in 28 classrooms - 56 in total.

  • EX-IBM'ER REVEALS ANALOG TV BANDS ABANDONED TO MAKE ROOM FOR RFID CHIPS

    rfid2 According to a former 31-year IBM employee, the highly-publicized, mandatory switch from analog to digital television is mainly being done to free up analog frequencies and make room for scanners used to read implantable RFID microchips and track people and products throughout the world.

    So while the American people, especially those in Texas and other busy border states, have been inundated lately with news reports advising them to hurry and get their expensive passports, “enhanced driver’s licenses,” passport cards and other “chipped” or otherwise trackable identification devices that they are being forced to own, this digital television/RFID connection has been hidden, according to Patrick Redmond. Redmond, a Canadian, held a variety of jobs at IBM before retiring, including working in the company’s Toronto lab from 1992 to 2007, then in sales support. He has given talks, written a book and produced a DVD on the aggressive, growing use of passive, semi-passive and active RFID chips (Radio Frequency Identification Devices) implanted in new clothing, in items such as Gillette Fusion blades, and in countless other products that become one’s personal belongings. These RFID chips, many of which are as small, or smaller, than the tip of a sharp pencil, also are embedded in all new U.S. passports, some medical cards, a growing number of credit and debit cards and so on. More than two billion of them were sold in 2007.

    Whether active, semi-passive or passive, these “transponder chips,” as they’re sometimes called, can be accessed or activated with “readers” that can pick up the unique signal given off by each chip and glean information from it on the identity and whereabouts of the product or person, depending on design and circumstances, as Redmond explained in a little-publicized lecture in Canada last year. AFP just obtained a DVD of his talk.

    TWO DEBT AGENCY PRIVATE EYES FINED FOR BREACH OF PRIVACY

    privateye Gumshoes fined for debt collection pretexting blag

    Two private investigators have been slapped with fines for unlawfully obtaining and selling personal information by a court in south London today. Christopher Hackett, trading as Swift Investigations, and Darren Whalley of Managed Credit Services Ltd were prosecuted by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at Wimbledon Magistrate's Court under section 55 of the Data Protection Act. Hackett was given a fine of £400 and Whalley a fine of £500. Both were ordered to pay £400 costs.

    The pair were working on behalf of Blackhorse Finance Limited. Another private investigator subcontracted Whalley to track down a woman whose partner owed money. The ICO said today that Blackhorse believed any information would be obtained legally. But it wasn't. Whalley passed the case to Hackett, who rang BT and convinced the operator he was a fellow employee. He was given the woman's home address which led to Blackhorse debt collectors paying her a visit. Assistant Information Commissioner Mike Gorrill said in a statement: "Illegally obtaining and selling personal information is a serious offence which can be highly damaging to the individuals concerned. This prosecution is the result of a thorough investigation by the Information Commissioner’s Office and is part of our ongoing work to stop the illegal trade in personal information." It's not known how much Hackett and Whalley were paid for their service

  • ID CARDS TO STAY VOLUNTARY IN UK SAYS NEW HOME SECRETARY ALAN JOHNSON

    brownid BROWNS NEW WORLD ORDER PLANS BACKFIRE

    British citizens will never be forced to carry ID cards, Home Secretary Alan Johnson has said. Skip related content In his first major policy announcement on the post, Mr Johnson ditched a trial scheme which would have required some airport staff and pilots to carry the controversial cards.

    The schemes, at Manchester Airport and London City Airport, will instead be voluntary. He also ruled out ever requiring the public to own a card. Previously, ministers said ID cards could become compulsory once 80% of the population was covered. The cards will still be compulsory for foreign workers, Mr Johnson said. Mr Johnson said: "Holding an identity card should be a personal choice for British citizens - just as it is now to obtain a passport. Accordingly I want the introduction of identity cards for all British citizens to be voluntary and I have therefore decided that identity cards issued to airside workers, planned initially at Manchester and London City airports later this year, should also be voluntary." Asked if the cards would ever be made compulsory he said: "No". "If a future Government wanted to make them compulsory it would require primary legislation," he added.

    Shadow home secretary Chris Grayling accused the Government of an "absurd fudge". "This decision is symbolic of a Government in chaos," he said. "They have spent millions on the scheme so far - the Home Secretary thinks it has been a waste and wants to scrap it, but the prime minister won't let him. "So we end up with an absurd fudge instead. This is no way to run the country."

It can take years normally to reach that position but due to the huge amount of info that we put out it immediately took first position. However within one month of obtaining this domain the webhoster used a ploy to justify suspending the domain. Due to not being able to use forwarding on this occasion it was impossible to reroute and has been off the air for over 24 hours.

    That is a long time for a domain to be down. We have struggled to remove this domain from the control of the original webhoster but after over 40 emails and much technical issues we have finally prized this back under our control.

These men have been smeared by the UK's corrupt cops,lawyers and judges , with the corporate media in tow and for David and Maurice having the audacity to stand up to their persecution tactics.

    No other corporate media or group have covered this most serious of issues which connects the masonic thugs use of British laws to undermine two of this countries biggest activists. There are other issues that show that the agendas the corporate media pump out relating to Zionists and gay rights are being transferred onto policies of those who provide web hosting to suppress freedom of speech and that contain any dissent against those agendas especially if they impact on heterosexual families and their children. This is especially true of Britain and the United States. We have no doubt we will face more attacks in the future but will use any means possible to counter those who have controlled the corporate media for so long trying to seize and control the internet from the victims of their crimes.

  • THE MAN WHO BEAT BIG BROTHER BRITAIN

    andrewwood The man who beat Big Brother Britain: Police told they can't keep pictures of arms trade activist

    Police could be forced to destroy huge archives of surveillance photographs taken at protests, riots and football matches following a landmark judgment. Appeal Court judges ruled yesterday that a law-abiding arms trade activist had his human rights breached when police took photos of him at a protest and kept them on file. In a judgment that could change the way all UK police forces monitor protesters, the Metropolitan Police was told to destroy all pictures of Andrew Wood.

    It could mean police will have to sift through hundreds of thousands of stored surveillance photos and destroy pictures of any innocent subject who complains. However, a one-month delay was granted yesterday to allow an appeal to the House of Lords. The ground-breaking case marks another blow to 'Big Brother' surveillance tactics increasingly favoured by police.

    It follows last month's European Court ruling forcing the Home Office to stop indefinitely storing DNA profiles of people who are arrested but never charged. Forces across the UK have spent years amassing huge numbers of 'overt surveillance' pictures, and police photographers are a familiar sight at major gatherings.

    Police photographers had become a common sight at public events

    Senior officers claim the tactic helps identify extremist activists, violent football thugs and anarchists trying to hijack mainstream events. It also provides vital evidence for later prosecutions. Yesterday's decision centred on Mr Wood, a leading member of the UK-based Campaign Against Arms Trade. Mr Wood, who has never been arrested, attended the AGM of Reed Elsevier PLC, parent company of Spearhead Exhibitions, which runs arms trade fairs. Mr Wood, of Oxford, was entitled to be at the meeting at a Central London hotel having bought a share in the company.

    But an intelligence unit of Scotland Yard, which was policing a protest outside, photographed him, later claiming he had been seen talking to violent activists. Mr Wood, backed by rights group Liberty, complained that taking and keeping photographs of him breached his right to privacy under European law. He lost his initial case last year but yesterday two out of three Appeal Court judges ruled in his favour, declaring the police tactics a 'disproportionate interference'.

    Lord Justice Dyson said it was legitimate for police to take the photographs, but it should have been clear within days Mr Wood was of good character and there was no need to keep his pictures. Lord Dyson added the justification police offered in court - that Mr Wood might commit an offence at an upcoming arms trade protest - was not enough to justify interference with his rights. Lord Collins of Mapesbury said he was 'struck by the chilling effect on the exercise of lawful rights' being followed by a police photographer has.

    But Lord Justice Laws disagreed, saying he believed the police acted within 'the margin of operational discretion' in keeping the photographs. A Metropolitan Police spokesman last night defended the force's conduct, saying overt photography was 'truly valuable'.

    Chief Superintendent Ian Thomas, who runs the Met's public order branch, said: 'Overt photography helps us build a picture of who is involved in organising any potential disorder or crime. 'It may also provide us with evidence for legal proceedings. 'There is nothing secretive or covert about the way we do this, and this practice is very well understood in protester circles.' It is understood Scotland Yard is considering whether to appeal.

  • CHEMISTS AND POST OFFICES WILL TAKE FINGERPRINTS FOR ID SCHEME

    fingerprints The move came as it emerged the estimated cost of the controversial scheme has risen by another £213 million. Post offices, high street pharmacies and photo shops are in talks with the Home Office to offer facilities for customers to have their biometric details taken for when they apply for an ID card or new passport.

    But the move fuelled fresh concerns over the ability to securely record and keep personal data, which would now be in the hands of private companies. And it could mean shops charging £30 to collect the data on top of the £30 for the card itself. In separate move, Greater Manchester has been chosen as the launch area for the £5 billion scheme with thousands of cards likely to be printed from this autumn. Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, will announce today that she is in talks with the Post Office, National Pharmacy Association, whose members include Boots, and the Photo Marketing Association International, to provide enrolment centres for the ID card scheme. It would mean anyone who wants an identity card or biometric passport will go to their local post office or pharmacy to have their fingerprints read and stored along with a face scan. Ms Smith said: "While private companies will clearly benefit from the increased footfall from offering this service, their customers will benefit from being able to quickly provide their biometrics while they are out doing the shopping. "

    But Phil Booth, of privacy campaign group No2ID, said: "We are talking about a Government that cannot even look after the data of millions of people now asking your local camera shop to process sensitive personal data, including fingerprints." A revised cost document estimated ID card will cost £5.324 billion over the next ten years - £213 million higher than the decade estimate given this time last year.

    And costs could be revised up further as the programme is rolled out, it warned. Chris Grayling, the shadow home secretary, said: "It's obvious that the cost of this scheme is rising fast – the harsh reality is neither the taxpayer nor the citizens who'll have to buy these cards can afford this. It's a white elephant and it should be scrapped. "It's irresponsible for the government to be pressing ahead with contracts for ID cards when Britain simply can't afford it. It smacks of Labour creating poison kill to make it more difficult for any future government to scrap the scheme."

  • JACKBOOT SMITH'S SECRET PLAN TO CARRY ON SPYING ON UK PUBLIC

    jackboot smith The home secretary has vowed to scrap a ‘big brother’ database, but a bid to spy on us all continues.

    SPY chiefs are pressing ahead with secret plans to monitor all internet use and telephone calls in Britain despite an announcement by Jacqui Smith, the home secretary, of a ministerial climbdown over public surveillance. GCHQ, the government’s eavesdropping centre, is developing classified technology to intercept and monitor all e-mails, website visits and social networking sessions in Britain. The agency will also be able to track telephone calls made over the internet, as well as all phone calls to land lines and mobiles. The £1 billion snooping project — called Mastering the Internet (MTI) — will rely on thousands of “black box” probes being covertly inserted across online infrastructure.

    The top-secret programme began to be implemented last year, but its existence has been inadvertently disclosed through a GCHQ job advertisement carried in the computer trade press. Last week, in what appeared to be a concession to privacy campaigners, Smith announced that she was ditching controversial plans for a single “big brother” database to store centrally all communications data in Britain. “The government recognised the privacy implications of the move [and] therefore does not propose to pursue this move,” she said.

    Grabbing favourable headlines, Smith announced that up to £2 billion of public money would instead be spent helping private internet and telephone companies to retain information for up to 12 months in separate databases. However, she failed to mention that substantial additional sums — amounting to more than £1 billion over three years — had already been allocated to GCHQ for its MTI programme. Shami Chakrabarti, director of Liberty, said Smith’s announcement appeared to be a “smokescreen”.

    “We opposed the big brother database because it gave the state direct access to everybody’s communications. But this network of black boxes achieves the same thing via the back door,” Chakrabarti said. Informed sources have revealed that a £200m contract has been awarded to Lockheed Martin, the American defence giant. A second contract has been given to Detica, the British IT firm which has close ties to the intelligence agencies.

    The sources said Iain Lobban, the GCHQ director, is overseeing the construction of a massive new complex inside the agency’s “doughnut” headquarters on the outskirts of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. A huge room of super-computers will help the agency to monitor — and record — data passing through black-box probes placed at critical traffic junctions with internet service providers and telephone companies, allowing GCHQ to spy at will. An industry insider, who has been briefed on GCHQ’s plans, said he could not discuss the programme because he had signed the Official Secrets Act. However, he admitted that the project would mark a step change in the agency’s powers of surveillance.

    At the moment the agency is able to use probes to monitor the content of calls and e-mails sent by specific individuals who are the subject of police or security service investigations. Every interception must be authorised by a warrant signed by the home secretary or a minister of equivalent rank. The new GCHQ internet-monitoring network will shift the focus of the surveillance state away from a few hundred targeted people to everyone in the UK.

    “Although the paper [work] does not say it, its clear implication is that those kinds of probes should be extended to cover the entire population for the purposes of monitoring communications data,” said the industry source. GCHQ placed an advertisement in the specialist IT press for a head of major contracts to be given “operational responsibility for the ‘Mastering the Internet’ (MTI) contract”. The senior official, to be paid an annual salary of up to £100,000, would lead the procurement of the hardware and the analysis tools needed to build and run the system. Ministers have said they do not intend to snoop on the actual content of e-mails or telephone calls. The monitoring will instead focus on who an individual is communicating with or which websites and chat rooms they are visiting.

    Advocates of the black-box system say it is essential if the authorities are to keep pace with the communications revolution. They say terrorists are stateless, highly mobile and their communications are difficult to detect among the billions of pieces of data passing through the internet. Last year about 14% of telephone calls were made using voice over internet protocol (Voip) systems such as Skype. A report by a group of privy counsellors predicts that most calls will be made via the internet within five years. GCHQ said it did not want to discuss how the data it gathered would be used.

  • YOUR CONVERSATIONS ARE BEING BUGGED: THE TRUTH ABOUT PROJECT ECHELON

    echelon In a sleepy suburb on the outskirts of Las Vegas, Margaret Newsham is attempting to lead a normal life away from the days where she worked at a giant listening station at RAF base Menwith Hill in Yorkshire, England. Despite this, she is unable to escape her past.

    She sleeps with a loaded gun under her bed and is protected by her 120-pound German shepherd, who is trained to guard and attack. At any time, certain factions in the NSA and the CIA may attempt to silence her for her role in the most extensive espionage network on earth, capable of tapping into millions of phone calls an hour: project ECHELON. Mrs. Newsham was an employee for Lockheed Martin, the largest munitions suppliers to the US military and intelligence agencies, the NSA and CIA. Newsham says: “It is almost impossible to tell the difference between NSA agents and civilians employed by Lockheed Martin, Ford and IBM. The borderlines are very vague. I had one of the highest security classifications which required the approval of the CIA, the NSA, the Navy and the Air Force. The approval included both a lie detector test, and an expanded personal history test in which my family and acquaintances were discretely checked by the security agency.”

    For her part, Newsham was regretful for the part she played in spying on politicians and ordinary people: “On the day at Menwith Hill when I realized in earnest how utterly wrong it was, I was sitting with one of the many ‘translators’. He was an expert in languages like Russian, Chinese and Japanese. Suddenly he asked me if I wanted to listen in on a conversation taking place in the US at an office in the US Senate Building. Then I clearly heard a southern American dialect I thought I had heard before.” “Who is that?” I asked the translator who told me that it was Republican senator Strom Thurmond. ‘Oh my gosh!’ I thought. We’re not only spying on other countries, but also on our own citizens. That’s when I realized in earnest that what we were doing had nothing to do with national security interests of the US.”

    And US Senator Thurmond is just the tip of the iceberg. In 1983, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher asked that government ministers who had challenged her on policy issues be placed under electronic surveillance, although it wasn’t until 2000 that former Canadian secret service insider Mike Frost blew the whistle: “[Thatcher] had two ministers that she said ‘…weren’t onside,’” says Frost. “[She] wanted to find out, not what these ministers were saying, but what they were thinking.” Ever since investigative journalist Duncan Campbell first exposed ECHELON’s existence in 1988, various other ex-intelligence service employees have broken their silence on the network’s activities. Former NSA man Wayne Madsen claimed his former employers held hundreds of pages of information on Princess Diana. The surveillance network was also involved in international economic espionage and could well spy on NGO’s like Amnesty International and Greenpeace. All these informants seem to agree on one thing. This was electronic spying for the 21st Century, capable of listening in on the most confidential contents of people’s lives.

    ECHELON

    At least ten ECHELON stations operate around the world, and the network has the capacity to monitor huge volumes of international fax, phone and Internet communications. It operates on behalf of five states signed up to the UK-USA Security Agreement: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US. No phone call you’ve made or text message you’ve sent is ultimately safe from their electronic eavesdropping. ECHELON is able to intercept and inspect the contents of communications via a global network of satellite stations and monitoring centres that capture radio, satellite, microwave, cellular and fibre optic traffic. It can automatically sift out flagged keywords and flagged addresses from masses of sent information. Says Margaret Newsham: “Even then, ECHELON was very big and sophisticated. As early as 1979 we could track a specific person and zoom in on his phone conversation while he was communicating. Since our satellites could in 1984 film a postage stamp lying on the ground, it is almost impossible to imagine how all-encompassing the system must be today.”

    “I just think of ECHELON as a great vacuum cleaner in the sky which sucks everything up,” says ex-Canadian intelligence insider Mike Frost. “We just get to look at the goodies.” Mass surveillance is nothing new. After the interception of short-wave radio communications from great distances during WWII came new opportunities afforded by satellite technology. Now, of course, we live in an age of fibre optics, with over 99 percent of voice and data traffic transmitted via this medium. Yet while fibre optics appear harder to access, they’re far from failsafe. Long-distance cables can be tapped even at submarine levels and intercept equipment placed where fibre optic communications are switched between networks, meaning emails could easily be hijacked.

    Ascension Island

    In 1996 Nicky Hager, in his book Secret Power, claimed that a remote location in the South Atlantic, Ascension Island, was the secret location for a station that represented a missing piece in the ECHELON puzzle. Installing a station on this volcanic outcrop would have completed the international intelligence 1990s network – a lucky seventh station to help intercept communications in the southern hemisphere, alongside newly added stations in New Zealand and Australia. Several ground stations are key to ECHELON’s global communications network, among them Menwith Hill, Sugar Hill government communications station in West Virginia, Pine Gap in Australia, and New Zealand’s communications bureau GCSB Waihopai. Canada, Japan, the UK, Australia and various states in the US are also known sites for other stations. Then of course there is less known likelihood of a station on Ascension Island. Perhaps it’s worth a mission to that far-flung outpost to find out what’s going on there. You only live twice.

  • UK COPS NOW USE PEOPLE LOCATION SYSTEM TO TAG ALL OFFICERS

    gps The future and what a ruthless UK government plans for us all.

    A police force is to tag all its officers so that their movements can be tracked in a bid to improve 999 response times. Police vehicles in Norfolk are already equipped with trackers which reveal their exact location in the force control room. The Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVLS) came into operation this week and means that for the first time the force can accurately map all of its units. Trackers have also been fitted to individual police radios and will be activated later this year to allow controllers to monitor the position of every frontline officer.

    Norfolk Constabulary says the system will allow officers to respond on foot more easily and will provide protection when they are dealing with dangerous incidents. Combined with equipment which pinpoints the locations of 999 callers, the system will allow the force to home in on "shouts" to within yards. The technology also lets operators "filter" a map showing the location of its vehicles and constables to reveal only those with the skills needed for a specific incident. This will allow the force, for example, to location a woman officer trained to deal with the victim of a sexual assault. So far 150 vehicles, including response teams, crime scene investigators, road police, armed response units, dog handlers and unmarked vehicles have been fitted with the equipment at a cost of £72,000.

    Paul Hart, who is in charge of the initiative, said: "We can see the location of each vehicle, which direction it's travelling in and what speed it's travelling at. "The system also provides an estimated response coverage area for each vehicle including speed limits, the nature of individual roads and geographical obstacles such as rivers. If a vehicle is closest as the crow flies, it is not necessarily the best able to respond. "We can combine this with our knowledge of weather conditions, such as snow or rain, or special events, like football matches, which may cause delays.

    "Once the person location system is running we will have a huge wealth of resources available to us on just one screen and will be able to filter it to highlight which units are most relevant to each situation." The system was introduced after the force closed 29 of its 35 response stations. However, Chief Constable Ian McPherson said the move should improve coverage as vehicles spend more time on patrol. Until now police vehicles were allocated call signs that meant they could not leave a specific sector without permission. The force claims that when the people location system is activated it will have the most advanced tracker system in the country.

  • U.S.A. INTERNET FREE SPEECH TIGHTLY CONTROLLED BY SECRET GROUP

    spamhaus Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

    American citizens think, wrongly, that the internet is a place where they can somewhat freely express their opinions about social issues important to them. But they are dead wrong - for there is an internet company, based in London, England that continuously monitors internet traffic - and if that company, or any of its members, or its customers, don't like what an American is saying on the internet, they can, and will, shut down that person's access to the internet.
    Surprised? Don't be.

    Controlling internet access, and preventing "free speech" is a despot's dream come true - for it has been the internet, for some time now, that has provided the means for social activists on important issues to communicate, not only with each other, but with the media and the public. The internet has, basically, changed the way people communicate worldwide. Everyone knows that, on the internet, you can type out a message to someone, "CC" it to any number of friends at all corners of the Earth, and in seconds you can get responses. But that's over. Those social activists are being identified by a British company called Spamhaus for its customers, and barriers and blocking devices are being put in place to block communication between activists, groups, and the American public. So far, Spamhaus has taken sides on several issues, and despite the fact that the US is a "free speech" nation, Spamhaus openly states on its website "we don't care what US laws say..."

    How are they able to do that?

    In 2003 the people of the United States, in their infinite wisdom, decided to do something about the internet problem of SPAM (unsolicited commercial email) - so the US legislature passed the Can-Spam act of 2003. In that law, and you can read your copy at www.legalarchiver.org/cs.htm, the legislature clearly defined what SPAM is, and what it is not, and set rules for legal broadcasting of commercial email advertising (and, it IS legal - providing the law is followed). The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was given the enforcement job, and was required to establish specific rules & regulations further defining the Can-Spam law. On the FTC website there is clear language about that Can-Spam law. It says, for instance, that "this law is not intended to regulate, or limit, free speech..." Spamhaus, though, ignores the "will of the people" of the United States, and has openly declared war on any, and all, that THEY, using their own over-zealous, and anti-free-speech definition, decide are "spammers." Spamhaus operates a so-called Spam Blocking List (SBL), and makes it available to unknowing Internet Service Providers (ISP) companies to use to block access to customers of the ISPs

    Spamhaus's website list the top-ten CRIMINAL spammers, for instance, in obvious defamation - for anyone who sends out bulk email in the US, acting under the rules laid down by the Can-Spam Act of 2003 is labeled, by Spamhaus as a "criminal." In addition, Spamhaus listed ten major corporations as the worst "spammers" - including MCI, SBC, Comcast, Yahoo, and six others, because those providers allow their customers to operate under Can-Spam laws.. Publicly labeling someone as a "criminal" is clearly legal "defamation." But limiting "free speech," and who can broadcast "political speech," in the US is a new wrinkle. If your email messages are not getting where you send them, or you find out through other means that you are not getting emails sent to you about vital social issues, you can review Spamhaus's strange tirades at www.spamhaus.org. Call your ISP and see if they use these people, and ask them if they've reviewed Spamhaus's policies, lately.

    How did we find out about this?

    The last time we broadcast we had about 25% rejects - the emails came back from certain ISPs and jammed our network - so we traced the problem, thinking something went wrong with the software. Nope, it wasn't the software. We traced it to Spamhaus, who, on their website referred anyone asking questions to two "quackbuster" websites. The Spamhaus US Representative(?), named John Blasik, has an interesting record, both criminal and otherwise. His photo, below, copied off another website is a message to all Americans.

    blasik Spamhaus claims to operate out of the United Kingdom, and believes this gives them protection from a lawsuit in the United States. As a matter of fact, Spamhaus is not just Steve Linford (a UK resident), but John Blasik (aka John Reid). a resident of Palm Bay, Florida USA.

    "John Reid" is actually John Blasik. What follows is information taken from public records.

    Personal E-Mail : john@rtfm.mlb.fl.us

    In conclusion...

    Obviously we are monitoring Spamhaus's activities. We're told that Spamhaus, and their network, are pretty much ineffectual, and are an embarrassment to the REAL anti-spam people - those actually trying to stop spam on the internet - and we can certainly see why. In the mean time, we'll assess the damage they might do, and we are issuing this warning to others to watch out for their clearly anti-American activities.

    As one University professor said about Spamhaus's activities:
    With only 18 volunteers, Spamhaus’ operations are, naturally, almost entirely automated, thereby depriving a blacklisted party any real recourse, notice, or review. This is a very troubling proposition, considering the degree to which e-mail is relied on by any business from sole proprietors to multinationals. Consider the frustration and loss of business that can result if a sole proprietor import exporter’s e-mail is completely blacked out (Spamhaus does not notify the alleged spammer at all. Rather the blacklisted e-mail must be lucky enough to spot the error message referencing Spamhaus in its e-mail client.)

    Today, e-mail is a basic utility like water, electricity, and heat. It must be treated like a basic utility to assure that it is not summarily interrupted. Verizon and ConEd would not simply be able to turn off your phone service and heat without some kind of notification with some explanation of the basis and the process to rectify the problem. The law has evolved in most developed nations to assure that process is a key element in the administration of utilities. In this early phase of the spam war, critical thought must be invested before simply allowing third party entities to take matters into their own hands. While I applaud Spamhaus’ motivation, the potential for abuse and gross miscalculation is too severe to do otherwise.

    nwo16 This Orwellian fascism/naziism – and the degradation of almost all public discourse

    An information, diplomatic and legal offensive is needed to break through this.

    There exists a global surveillance and monitoring system that can be used to see and hear and tamper through almost any structure with molecular/brainwave/communications-signal accuracy - and yet we are led to believe that borders are porous and rife with uncontrolled terrorist activity, weapons-smuggling, training camps, and transnational conspiracies - and that evidence, communications and data are to be trusted.

    THIS IS NOT EVEN REPORTED, INVESTIGATED, OR CONTROLLED!!

    There exists a massive, coordinated propaganda and public relations machine – that makes Goebbels look like a mere manipulative editor, and J Edgar Hoover look like a Sunday school teacher - controlling and managing the input, output and effects of most information and media worldwide. And which are being used for heavy geopolitical and criminal blackmail and extortion.

    THIS IS NOT EVEN REPORTED, INVESTIGATED, OR CONTROLLED!!

    There exists Secret Geophysical Weapons which are being used to create earthquakes, storms, floods, fires, electrical and mechanical crashes and disasters (cars, planes, trains, ships etc.) and building and bridge collapses, killing millions of people. And which are being used for heavy geopolitical and criminal blackmail and extortion.

    THIS IS NOT EVEN REPORTED, INVESTIGATED, OR CONTROLLED!!

    There exists Directed Energy and Neurological Weapons which are being used to cause the most horrendous psychological tortures, rapes, sexual abuse, surgical mutilations, ‘mind control’, and other mental and physical mutilations on many, many thousands of people worldwide – citizens, combatants and leaders (coup-de-etats and puppet governments, literally), and serious violations of the integrity of electronic data and systems. And which are being used for heavy geopolitical and criminal blackmail and extortion.

    THIS IS NOT EVEN REPORTED, INVESTIGATED, OR CONTROLLED!!

    In the past decade “terrorists” have killed perhaps 30,000 people – ‘The Wars on Terror’ have resulted in the deaths of well over a million people and the ongoing destruction of Iraq and Afghanistan – a veritable Moslem Holocaust - and many other brutal, brazen and extensive crimes against humanity, war crimes and serious violations of human rights and civil liberties worldwide, as the criminals pretend that the world’s most powerful surveillance and military forces can’t establish peace and stability there in 6 and 8 years respectively.

    THIS IS NOT EVEN REPORTED, INVESTIGATED, OR CONTROLLED!!

    Since 2001 these criminals have made Dirty Wars and Black Operations fomenting and prolonging conflicts and civil strife in Algeria, Sudan, Congo, Somalia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Turkey, Russia, the Caucasus, Pakistan, India, Kashmir, Sri Lanka, China, Tibet, Cambodia, Korea, Thailand, Colombia, Bolivia causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.

    THIS IS NOT EVEN REPORTED, INVESTIGATED, OR CONTROLLED!!

    Universal human rights, transparency, the rule of law, democracy, accountability, free and open media, equal rights and opportunities, and serious, responsible, investigative and diverse public discourse etc. have been so completely violated, overridden, degraded and reduced.

    THIS IS NOT EVEN REPORTED, INVESTIGATED, OR CONTROLLED!!

    These very serious and horrendous wars and crimes - along with the other such supposedly hugely society/civilization threatening things as criminals, mental health patients including pedophiles, meteors, drunks, human diversity and freedom itself, as well as the incessant pop/tabloid circus and idiocy culture – are being used to lead us into a pseudo-scientific technologically and “medically” determined fascism/naziism – totalitarian and reductionist – i.e. nazi.

    MASONS BEHIND STASI HQ UK TRACKING YOUR EVERY MOVE

    stasi Stasi HQ UK... where details of all your journeys are secretly logged and kept for a decade

    This anonymous office building on a business park near Heathrow Airport is where the Government has begun monitoring millions of British holidaymakers using its controversial new 'terrorist detector' database. The top-secret computer system - tied into the airlines' ticketing network - makes judgments about travel habits and passengers' friends and family to decide if they are a security risk. Like something from a science-fiction film, the Home Office has designed it to spot a 'criminal' or terrorist before they have done anything wrong. The building's address is, some might say sinisterly, called Status Park 4.

    But the intrusiveness of the system at the heart of Government's so-called 'e-Borders' scheme has provoked such fury among civil liberties campaigners that some consider it akin to a modern-day Stasi headquarters. All the information passengers give to travel agents, including home addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, passport details and the names of family members, is shared with an unknown number of Government agencies for 'analysis' and stored for up to ten years. But even as the 'profiling' system goes live, its reliability is being called into question.

    An internal Home Office document obtained by The Mail on Sunday reveals that during testing one 'potential suspect' turned out to be an airline passenger with a spinal injury flying into Britain with his nurse. 'Suspect' requests likely to cause innocent holidaymakers to get 'red flags' as potential terrorists include ordering a vegetarian meal, asking for an over-wing seat and travelling with a foreign-born husband or wife. The system will also 'red flag' passengers buying a one-way ticket and making a last-minute reservation and those with a history of booking tickets and not showing up for the flights. A previous history of travel to the Middle East, Pakistan, Afghanistan or Iran will also trigger an alarm, as will those with a record of sponsoring an immigrant from any of these countries.

    Starting during the Easter holiday rush, millions of people will be checked by the new National Border Targeting Centre (NBTC). By the end of the year the NBTC, which is recruiting 250 staff, will have been relocated to another office near Manchester Airport and will be analysing the movements of 120million UK travellers. Initially it will target airlines but will be expanded to check passengers on ferries and trains, including some journeys within the UK. At the heart of the system is a highly classified computer algorithm designed to pick out people to be searched, questioned by security staff or barred from flying.

    An internal Home Office Border and Immigration Agency document explains how Britain's new system will work. Written by Tim Rymer, head of the Joint Border Operations Centre, the forerunner to the new NBTC, it explains how it will use 'Passenger Name Record' (PNR) information given when travellers buy a ticket. The document, written in March last year after a trial examining 30million passengers, reveals: 'PNR is checked against profiles of behavioural patterns which indicate risk activity.

    'Profiles are run to identify behaviour, not to identify individuals, and are based on evidence and intelligence.' Mr Rymer revealed that the information secured from the airlines for e-Borders would then also be available to other unnamed Government departments and held for up to ten years. He wrote: 'E-Borders acts as a single window for carriers to provide data to Government.' The system is bound to cause concerns about the handling of confidential personal data. But Mr Rymer reported that he was 'confident our use of PNR data is proportionate and complies with robust data-protection safeguards'.

    Intending to show how his team double-checked the computerised suspect reports, Mr Rymer admitted: 'Profiling identified a potential suspect; however further examination of his booking details revealed that the passenger was suffering from a spinal injury and was being escorted by a nurse. 'In this way the PNR information enabled the passenger to be eliminated from the profile match.' Others flagged up then eliminated as suspects included travellers with comments on their bookings including: 'Please treat passenger with sensitivity - death in the family' or 'Wheelchair requested - broken leg'. The system was originally designed to identify suspect freight shipments.

    Until now international no-fly lists have been based on painstaking intelligence and people's criminal records. But the Border and Immigration Agency's new 'rule-based targeting' system works by building up a complete picture of passengers' travel history and the detailed information they give to airlines and travel agencies when booking a flight. It compares these answers and requests to other government databases and also shares the information with other countries around the world. The computer then makes value judgments about whether peculiar decisions and requests fit its secret terrorist or criminal profiles. In the United States, where the Department of Homeland Security has been running a similar system for several years, people with a poor driving record have been subjected to further checks.

    The American system has also been criticised for awarding so-called 'terrorism points' to passengers depending on their level of 'suspicious' travel activity. The Home Office argues the e-Borders system will 'transform our border control to ensure greater security, effectiveness and efficiency'. 'To do so,' the department says, 'we will make full use of the latest technology to provide a way of collecting and analysing information on everyone who travels to or from the United Kingdom.' But the UK system, and others across Europe that all share their passenger data, are facing increasing criticism.

    The EU's Home Affairs Committee is currently carrying out an inquiry examining whether the use of profiling, particularly when it focuses on particular ethnic groups, is illegal. In searching for terrorists, and flagging people who have travelled to the Middle East or Pakistan, the system is likely to pick out a high proportion of Muslims. In its initial report the EU committee says using this data is against EU regulations and the practice is leading to a lack of trust in law enforcement and the fear of discrimination. It adds that it is 'concerned [the] system providing for the collection of personal data of passengers travelling to the EU could provide a basis for profiling...on the basis of race or ethnicity'. And the EU report continues: 'Repeated concerns raised by the [European] Parliament in connection with racial, ethnic and behavioural profiling in the context of data protection, law-enforcement co-operation, exchange of data and intelligence, aviation and transport security, immigration and border management and anti-discrimination measures have not so far been adequately addressed.'

  • MASONIC COPS TURN MAPMAKERS TO COUNT UK'S SPY CCTV NETWORK

    observe They are used to walking the beat to deter crime but the police may soon be asked to cover every nook and cranny of their patch — to locate and record the presence of every CCTV camera. Senior officers want several forces to count the cameras in an attempt to provide an accurate figure of the number across the entire country.

    The exercise comes amid claims that the proliferation of CCTV cameras is turning Britain into a surveillance society. Yet it has emerged that one of the figures most frequently used to justify the claim — that there are 4.2 million cameras — is an estimate based on a survey of only two streets in London seven years ago. The mapping exercise would allow police to find out how many cameras are working and capable of providing images of a high enough standard to identify suspected criminals.

  • Photographers Rights And The Law In The UK - A brief guide for street photographers.

    Know your rights when you're out with your camera.

    Despite the law being clear on a citizen's rights to freely take pictures in public places (with a few restrictions) there is growing evidence of the police, police community support officers (PCSOs), security guards and general jobsworths failing to respect the rights of photographers going about their lawful business.

    BEWARE THE BIG BROTHER SENSECAM USER

    sensecam SenseCam is a wearable digital camera that is designed to take photographs passively, without user intervention, while it is being worn. Unlike a regular digital camera or a cameraphone, SenseCam does not have a viewfinder or a display that can be used to frame photos. Instead, it is fitted with a wide-angle (fish-eye) lens that maximizes its field-of-view. This ensures that nearly everything in the wearer’s view is captured by the camera, which is important because a regular wearable camera would likely produce many uninteresting images.

    SenseCam also contains a number of different electronic sensors. These include light-intensity and light-color sensors, a passive infrared (body heat) detector, a temperature sensor, and a multiple-axis accelerometer.

  • BIG BROTHER WANTS FACE SCANNERS IN BRITISH SCHOOLS

    observe Face scanners being introduced in schools to speed up pupil registration and queues for canteen lunches sparked a 'Big Brother' row today. New infra-red facial recognition systems - similar to those increasingly used at passport controls - are able to scan children's faces as they approach the school entrance. They can also recognise pupils as they buy school dinners in cashless canteens or borrow books from the library, while also providing protection from unwanted visitors.

    Aurora, the biometric firm which has developed the system, will begin trials of its product in St Neots Community College, Cambridgeshire next week. The school will initially use the technology to help them identify late-comers. But the use of facial recognition systems in schools merely for administrative convenience was condemned by campaigners, who attacked Big Brother-style surveillance and warned about the risk to pupils of identity theft.

    Aurora will also showcase the system at the Bett education technology show in London next week to gauge teachers' reactions. It says it is 'hopeful' of a positive response since the system is 'ultra-fast', can verify an identity in 1.5 seconds and is more accurate than a human. Schools using the technology would first take an infra-red photograph of students which would be stored on a secure system, possibly alongside their names. Students approaching the recognition device, which can be attached to a wall or positioned on a desk, can be identified from up to a metre away. Their faces are scanned using an invisible infra-red light.

    Paul Coase, Aurora's sales and marketing manager, said: 'The data is stored on a school managed and controlled server. 'At St Neots it is incredibly secure and it's encrypted. That is pretty standard across local authorities and schools. 'The kind of data that's stored is a grainy infra-red image of a student. The image is stored as an encrypted biometric template. As it's encrypted, it's almost impossible to extract any information from.' Schools have previously experimented with fingerprint scanners and even radio transponder chips embedded in school uniforms but the new system goes further.

    Official guidance to schools says they do not have to seek parental consent before introducing biometric systems although heads should ensure they 'normally involve' parents in decisions to introduce the technology. But campaigners said facial recognition technology was appropriate to protect national security - not to issue children with library books or check their absenteeism. David Clouter, of the pressure group Leave Them Kids Alone, branded the development 'appalling' and warned that children could in future be vulnerable to identity fraud.

    'It is alarming that this information will be stored on school systems,' he said. 'There's no way a school could have the level of security of the passport office. That would cost millions and schools would not have the budget. 'If the data itself is ever compromised, that's it - you can't rewind and get a new face or get new fingerprints. 'If children get used to presenting fingerprints or looking into something, they will do it for trivial situations, and all these things help a Big Brother state and could lead to all databases about you being tied into one place.'

    He added: 'All these things tend to make our schools more impersonal. Whatever happened to the teacher at the gates saying "where's little Johnny?"' The Venerable Bede School in Sunderland installed an iris scanner in 2003 but removed it a year later because it sometimes failed to recognise students and slowed lunch queues. Fingerprint schemes are growing in popularity, however.

    The increasing use of biometric technology by schools comes at a time of growing concern over the safe storage of personal data following a string of security breaches. Personal details of more than a million bank customers were found last year on a computer sold on eBay. The month before, a computer memory stick containing the personal details of 127,000 prisoners and high-risk offenders including rapists and murderers was lost by an employee of a private contractor working for the Home Office. In November 2007, two computer discs holding bank details and National Insurance numbers of 25 million child benefit claimants got lost in the post.

  • WHAT'S OUR NATIONAL IDENTITY

    id card What's Our National Identity?

    Oracle's Larry Ellison and Harvard's Allen Dershowitz have been all over the media recently pitching a National ID Card. One poll indicates 70% public support for the notion. Most critics of a National Identity Card mention Hitler, police stops, and personal privacy to argue against the proposal. Those are good reasons to oppose a National ID Card, but they miss the idea's worst features.

    Proponents of a National I.D. Card have a responsibility to tell us exactly what the system will do to day-to-day life in America. They are unlikely to do so because most thoughtful Americans would be alarmed at the prospect.

    A National I.D. card is *not* really about identity.

    It is about authorization. A modern National I.D. System will:

    * Require Americans to obtain federal government authorization to travel, work, rent or buy housing, obtain medical care, use financial services, and make many purchases.

    * This federal authorization could be denied for many reasons including database errors, a suspicious transaction profile, being a deadbeat parent, failure to pay taxes or fines, and any other social control measures Congress wishes to hang on the system.

    * The system will almost certainly create an outlaw class - as large as 10 to 20% of the population - cut off from "normal" life in America. This class will include political refuseniks as well as those whose behavior has caused the system's software to deny their transactions. This outlaw class will sustain the underground economy for the use of future terrorists (and ordinary criminals).

    These effects are easy to predict because they've already happened on a lesser scale.

    Previous National I.D. proposals covered such activities as travel, work authorization, national health care, and licensing of drivers. All of these proposed systems were meant to deny access to air travel, work, medical care, and driving to those who were not authorized for these activities. The events of September 11th mean that many more transactions will require a National I.D. It is likely that the I.D. will be required for the purchase of alcohol, tobacco, Rx drugs, firearms, ammunition, knives, fertilizer, flying lessons, or any other goods or services the government considers dangerous. Additionally, in order to track the movement of potential terrorists, the New Improved National I.D. Card will have to control all transportation including car rentals and purchases, accommodations and financial services. A large chunk of our lives.

    When you present your National I.D. to complete a transaction, you will actually be asking the Federal Government for its permission. It converts most significant transactions that you make from private ones to public ones. It creates a government license for all jobs, all travel, all medical care, and many purchases. This is a profoundly troubling departure from American traditions.

    Beyond federal licensing there are all the reasons that the system will reject your proposed transaction. A National I.D. System can't control terrorists or illegals unless it uses software based on credit card fraud detection software to block suspicious transaction and then deny the use of the I.D. Card and notify the appropriate authorities. To understand how this will work, you have to understand how modern credit card software works. A credit card authorization system performs a large number of checks to decide whether or not to authorize a proposed transaction. First, it checks to see if the card is in the system, has not been reported stolen, and has adequate credit for the transaction. But then it goes further. It checks the customer's transaction history, it checks the exact nature of recent transactions and of the proposed transaction to see how they fit the customer's profile and the profile of fraudulent transactions that it has stored in its system. It then produces a "score" which it uses to determine whether or not to authorize the transaction. This is real "profiling".

    But even if you are you, the I.D. card is valid, and your transactions aren't suspicious; your right to travel, work, and buy will still likely be blocked by social control measures added by Congress or the administrative bureaucracy. We know that this will happen because that is exactly what *has* happened with drivers licenses. A drivers license once meant that your state considered you a safe driver. Today, you can be denied a license for failing to pay child support, failure to pay traffic and other fines (including library fines), being a non-resident alien, and for hundreds of other "offenses". State legislatures could not resist the temptation to leverage the drivers license system to control their populations. Their actions were based on the idea that "driving is a privilege not a right." The future abuse of the National I.D. Card will be based on the idea that "living is a privilege not a right."

    When your National I.D. Card is denied (for whatever reason), you will find yourself in a very uncomfortable situation. But you will not be alone. In America today, some 20% of the population does not use credit cards or bank accounts because they are unwilling or unable to perform the financial management tasks necessary to maintain such accounts. Similarly, the National I.D. card will produce a population of political or life-style refuseniks who will or cannot use it. Such populations do not disappear. They continue to survive as best they can and support a robust underground economy with its well-known negative effects on tax collection, obedience to law, and social cohesion. As convenient as a National I.D. card seems for law enforcement, it is an un-American notion. It comes from a political system explicitly rejected by those men who founded this country. The English language has a word for a system in which the central government of a country must authorize in advance all of its citizen's activities. That word is totalitarian.

    alton towers Theme park visitors can be tagged.

    The scheme aims to deter crime and help find lost children. Visitors to Alton Towers could soon be tagged and tracked by cameras in a new system to video their entire day that could also tighten security. The Staffordshire theme park will offer entrants wrist bands containing tiny Radio Frequency Identification chips.

    Guests would be watched as they use the park and will be filmed on rides, which the creators say would also cut crime. At the end of the day they would then be given the option to buy the footage in a personalised DVD. Alton Towers said work is still being carried out on its system but it could be available next year. Experts at Venue Solutions, the firm behind the project, say the tags can also be used to track lost children and cut crime such as break-ins and vandalism. The system called Your Day could also be introduced to Busch Gardens in Florida, and Disneyland Paris. Al Page, from Your Day, said: "It will involve cameras being strategically placed along the paths of rides and at prime photo-opportunity locations.

    Security 'secondary'

    "The cameras will be used to track and video park visitors while they experience the park's attractions." But Liz Greenwood, from Alton Towers, said the security aspect was secondary as the wristbands would not be compulsory. "If people don't want to take part that is their choice," she said. "Only the people who opt into the scheme will be filmed so if a child is lost, for instance, the system will only track the child if his/her parents have opted in."

  • OZZIE'S POLITICAL AND LEGAL MAFIA PLAN INTERNET CENSORSHIP

    ozzie flag AUSTRALIA will join China in implementing mandatory censoring of the internet under plans put forward by the Federal Government. The revelations emerge as US tech giants Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, and a coalition of human rights and other groups unveiled a code of conduct aimed at safeguarding online freedom of speech and privacy.

    The government has declared it will not let internet users opt out of the proposed national internet filter. The plan was first created as a way to child and adult content, but could be extended to include controversial websites on euthanasia or anorexia. Communications minister Stephen Conroy revealed the mandatory censorship to the Senate estimates committee as the Global Network Initiative, bringing together leading companies, human rights organisations, academics and investors, committed the technology firms to "protect the freedom of expression and privacy rights of their users".

    Mr Conroy said trials were yet to be carried out, but "we are talking about mandatory blocking, where possible, of illegal material." The net nanny proposal was originally going to allow Australians who wanted uncensored access to the web the option of contacting their internet service provider to be excluded from the service. Human Rights Watch has condemned internet censorship, and argued to the US Senate "there is a real danger of a Virtual Curtain dividing the internet, much as the Iron Curtain did during the Cold War, because some governments fear the potential of the internet, (and) want to control it"

    Groups including the System Administrators Guild of Australia and Electronic Frontiers Australia have attacked the proposal, saying it would unfairly restrict Australians' access to the web, slow internet speeds and raise the price of internet access. EFA board member Colin Jacobs said it would have little effect on illegal internet content, including child pornography, as it would not cover file-sharing networks. "If the Government would actually come out and say we're only targeting child pornography it would be a different debate," he said.

    The technology companies' move, which follows criticism that the companies were assisting censorship of the internet in nations such as China, requires them to narrowly interpret government requests for information or censorship and to fight to minimise cooperation. The initiative provides a systematic approach to "work together in resisting efforts by governments that seek to enlist companies in acts of censorship and surveillance that violate international standards", the participants said. In a statement, Yahoo co-founder and chief executive Jerry Yang welcomed the new code of conduct.

    "These principles provide a valuable roadmap for companies like Yahoo operating in markets where freedom of expression and privacy are unfairly restricted," he said. "Yahoo was founded on the belief that promoting access to information can enrich people's lives, and the principles we unveil today reflect our determination that our actions match our values around the world." Yahoo was thrust into the forefront of the online rights issue after the Californian company helped Chinese police identify cyber dissidents whose supposed crime was expressing their views online.

    China exercises strict control over the internet, blocking sites linked to Chinese dissidents, the outlawed Falun Gong spiritual movement, the Tibetan government-in-exile and those with information on the 1989 Tiananmen massacre. A number of US companies, including Microsoft, Cisco, Google and Yahoo, have been hauled before the US Congress in recent years and accused of complicity in building the "Great Firewall of China". The Australian Christian Lobby, however, has welcomed the proposals.

    Managing director Jim Wallace said the measures were needed.

    "The need to prevent access to illegal hard-core material must be placed above the industry's desire for unfettered access," Mr Wallace said.

  • BIG BROTHER BRITAIN SPYING ON ALL OUR CALLS NOW LAW

    phonetap Officials from the top of Government to lowly council officers will be given unprecedented powers to access details of every phone call in Britain under laws coming into force tomorrow. The new rules compel phone companies to retain information, however private, about all landline and mobile calls, and make them available to some 795 public bodies and quangos. The move, enacted by the personal decree of Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, will give police and security services a right they have long demanded: to delve at will into the phone records of British citizens and businesses.

    The Government will be given access to details of every phone call in Britain. But the same powers will also be handed to the tax authorities, 475 local councils, and a host of other organisations, including the Food Standards Agency, the Department of Health, the Immigration Service, the Gaming Board and the Charity Commission. The initiative, formulated in the wake of the Madrid and London terrorist attacks of 2004 and 2005, was put forward as a vital tool in the fight against terrorism. However, civil liberties campaigners say the new powers amount to a 'free for all' for the State snooping on its citizens.

    And they angrily questioned why the records were being made available to so many organisations. Similar provisions are being brought in across Europe, but under much tighter regulation. In Britain, say critics, private and sensitive information will inevitably fall into the wrong hands. Records will detail precisely what calls are made, their time and duration, and the name and address of the registered user of the phone. The files will even reveal where people are when they made mobile phone calls. By knowing which mast transmitted the signal, officials will be able to pinpoint the source of a call to within a few feet. This can even be used to track someone's route if, for example, they make a call from a moving car. Files will also be kept on the sending and receipt of text messages.

    By 2009 the Government plans to extend the rules to cover internet use: the websites we have visited, the people we have emailed and phone calls made over the net. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has spearheaded the move to give police and security services access to the phone records of British citizens and businesses. The new laws will make it a legal requirement for phone companies to keep records for at least a year, and to make them available to the authorities. Until now, companies have been reluctant to allow unfettered access to their files, citing data protection laws, although they have had a voluntary arrangement with law enforcement agencies since 2003. Many of the organisations granted access to the records already have systems allowing them to search phone-call databases over a computer link without needing staff at the phone company to intervene.

    Police requests for phone records will need the approval of a superintendent or inspector, while council officials must get permission from the authority's assistant chief officer. Thousands of staff in other agencies will be legally entitled to retrieve the records once the request is approved by a senior official. The new measures were implemented after the Home Secretary signed a 'statutory instrument' on July 26. The process allows the Government to alter laws without a full act of Parliament. The move was nodded through the House of Lords two days earlier without a debate. It puts into UK law a European Directive aimed at the 'investigation, detection and prosecution of serious crime'. But the British law allows the information to be used much more widely to combat all crimes, however minor.

    The huge number of organisations allowed to access this data was attacked by Liberty, the civil liberties campaign group. Other organisations allowed to see the data include the Royal Navy Regulating Branch, the Atomic Energy Authority Constabulary, the Department of Trade and Industry, NHS Trusts, ambulance and fire services, the Department of Transport and the Department for the Environment. A spokesman for Liberty said: 'Hundreds of bodies have been given the power to look at this highly sensitive information. It is yet another example of how greater and greater access is being given to information on our movements with little debate and little public accountability. 'It is a free for all. There is a lack of oversight of how and why public bodies are using these records. There is no public record of what they are using this information for.'

    Tony Bunyan, of civil liberties group Statewatch, said: 'The retention of everyone's communications data is a momentous decision, one that should not be slipped through Parliament without anyone noticing.' Last year, the voluntary arrangement allowed 439,000 searches of phone records. But the Government brought in legislation because the industry did not routinely keep all the information it wanted. Different authorities will have different levels of access to the systems. Police and intelligence services will be able to see more detailed information than local authorities. And officials at NHS Trusts and ambulance and fire services can obtain the records only in rare cases when, for example, they are trying to save a patient's life. The new system will be overseen by the Interception of Communications Commissioner, who also ensures security and intelligence services' phone taps are legal.

    The commissioner, Sir Paul Kennedy, reports to the Prime Minister and already carries out random inspections of some agencies legally allowed to see phone records under the existing voluntary scheme. Last year inspectors visited 22 councils already making 'significant' use of their powers' to access phone records. A report said the results were 'variable', but within the law. Privacy watchdog the Information Commissioner, which has responsibly for protecting personal information and policing the Data Protection Act had virtually no role in the new laws. A spokeswoman said its only function was to ensure 'data security' at the phone companies, adding: 'We have no oversight role over the release of this information.'

    The Home Office said there were safeguards to ensure the new law was being used properly. Every authority had a nominated senior member of staff who was legally responsible for the use the phone data was put to, 'the integrity of the process' and for 'reporting errors'. A spokesman said: 'The most detailed level of data can be accessed only by law enforcement agencies such as the police. More basic access is available to local authority bodies such as trading standards and environmental health who can only use these powers to prevent and detect crime.'

    A spokesman for the Local Government Association, which represents councils across England and Wales, said: 'Councils would only use these powers in circumstances such as benefit fraud, when the taxpayer is being ripped off for many thousands of pounds.' He added that it was 'very unlikely' the powers would be used against non-payers of council tax or for parking fines 'as the sums involved are not sufficient to justify the use of this sort of information or the costs involved in applying it'.

    wakeup Do you feel free and safe walking down any High Street with CCTV spying on your every move? FREEDOM is about having your rights and privacy respected .It is for the individual to decide whether they want to live their life under the cloud of a network of spy cameras. That choice has been taken away by the New World Order gangsters that are so paranoid that they have to ensure the citizens they control are monitored every step they take.

    It doesn't matter that some people think surveillance will cure crime and stop terrorism.This is a system of control that ignores the fact that there are large numbers of individuals that are finding the mushrooming CCTV network ,operated by the NWO goons ,is making them more and more uncomfortable as there is now less and less areas of towns and cities free of the spies watching our every move. This is a racket ,like defence,for the purveyors of this system of spying that requires massive infrastructure ,in the purchase ,the construction,the maintenance and control .The cost of the cable network alone runs into billions without including the costly maintenance of those cables when damaged.Anyone who wants to know the real reason for this seismic shift in surveillance should watch the film THE SKULLS http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0192614/

    A network of secret society control ,were the members have their phone tapped,CCTV watching their every move to ensure they stick strictly to allegiances and oaths that protect the self appointed rich elite in the USA.Bush ,Clinton ,Kerry and many other presidents have all been enrolled in Yales Skull and Bones secret society that taps candidates and buys their loyalties before they go on to become the leaders of the industrialized network that only THEY can head.

    The monitoring ensures any straying from sworn oaths can be captured for use in the blackmail technique that controls their loyalties to the hidden powers that ruthlessly rule the USA.A self- appointed elite who have for centuries ruled with an iron fist over the rights and freedoms of American citizens unaware of the devil worshipping cult that creates monsters ,like Bush ,to ravage countries across the globe in their wars against terrorism.A terrorism created by them for the billion dollar defence and surveillance industry that uses up more American dollars than any other ,controlled entirely by bonesmen.

    Our groups along with others throughout the world say to these evil bastards that enough is enough as we grow in numbers ,while helping to re-educate those who have yet to see THE LIGHT .We are throwing down the gauntlet to the mobsters who are supposed to serve the people NOT ENSLAVE them.Technology has given mankind the first chance to BREAK this centuries old cycle of CONTROL.They are waking up to the fact that we can no longer be continually brainwashed using their media network that has lied to us for so long.The reality is that we are no longer going to tolerate this enormous intrusion into our lives ,our homes and families.

    Their days are numbered ,the systems they have used to deviously manipulate us and enslave us have been beaten by the same technology and no matter how much they try and stifle dissent with their spying tools they can NEVER stifle mans right to freedoms that do not include the plans for their master race and their New World Order.We must ALL join the resistance movement against the 1984 world they have planned for future generations,we owe that to our children.

    BOMBPROOF SPEED (SPY)CAMERA

    speedcam They have been demolished with diggers, destroyed by fire and even blown up with explosives by angry motorists. Now a speed camera billed as the toughest in the world has been designed in an attempt to repel vandals. The device towers 13ft above the road and features strengthened glass as well as a fire-resistant body and a stiffened steel base. It is fitted with smoke and vibration sensors which can detect an attack.

    If someone does try to damage the camera, it triggers an alarm at the nearest police station and automatically downloads all its vital digital photographic data back to base so that no evidence is lost. The camera's enforcement technology is just as hi-tech. It can monitor four lanes of traffic at once, take front and rear facing images and, unlike the UK's current fixed speed cameras, can patrol both sides of the road simultaneously.

    The IDEE machine - it stands for Innovative Digital Enforcement Environment - is already in use in Holland. According to the car magazine Auto Express, the Dutch manufacturer is hoping to bring it to the UK. Mat Watson, news and features editor of Auto Express, said: "We've spoken to the maker and have found out they are keen to sell it across the rest of Europe including Britain. "This would be done through their UK operation.
