How to tell the differance Part ii He's got the base names right, but he's peddling shit/disinformation/selling his book. America has a presence but doesn't control Milabs in the U.K.

Yes, that's a possibility, but he doesn't like the theory that technology, ideology, and customs may not be indigenous. Or it could mean there was a civilisation that rivaled Atlantis in the same time period. Mu, Lumeria?.. only in folklore currently but so was Troy not too long ago. I'm well aware of changing sea levels. I'm also well aware of shifting geology, hence why it's possible that the structures off Japan are man made and are now deep below sea level. Hawass and the Egyptian Govt are basically peddling lies.

The company, Element Four, has developed a machine that it hopes will become the first mainstream household appliance to have been invented since the microwave. Their creation, the WaterMill, uses the electricity of about three light bulbs to condense moisture from the air and purify it into clean drinking water. The machine went on display this weekend in the Flatiron district of Manhattan, hosted by Wired magazine at its annual showcase of the latest gizmos its editors believe could change the world. From the outside, the mill looks like a giant golf ball that has been chopped in half: it is about 3ft in diameter, made of white plastic, and is attached to the wall. It works by drawing air through filters to remove dust and particles, then cooling it to just below the temperature at which dew forms. The condensed water is passed through a self-sterilising chamber that uses microbe-busting UV light to eradicate any possibility of Legionnaires' disease or other infections. Finally, it is filtered and passed through a pipe to the owner's fridge or kitchen tap.

The thrill of City life appears to be fading for hundreds of investment bankers who are preparing to turn their back on the financial sector and opt for a career in science teaching. The Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) has revealed that inquiries about science teaching posts rose by a third last September compared with the same month in 2007. The agency will reveal this week that formal applications for science teaching posts have reached record levels and that further significant rises are expected next year in the wake of the world financial crisis. Many of those applicants are coming from the City, it says. Among those swapping the trading floor for the school laboratory is Elizabeth Baldwin. The 44-year-old worked for almost 20 years for major banks, including Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, until she found, a few months ago, that the excitement of the job was disappearing. 'I had just had my second child, Thomas, and the thought of going back to the City became less and less palatable,' she said. 'The high pay no longer compensated for the long hours and lack of social life.'

I see what you're trying to do here Fopper. -
The U.S. will take a strategic strike against Iran at some point in the next year or at the very least let the Israeli's do it. We can only hope that Obama is as keen on talking as he let on during the campaign.

So having knowledge of that got him killed but you're happy with bandying it about on a messageboard? Parky's living existence is contradictory to his beliefs. It's a strange thing with this presidents lark. As they are appointees and there for a short time, their level of top secret clearance is ridiculously low (they are basically not trusted and you can't shoot all of them). If we were looking at a scale of say 1-20 they'd be about a 12. The rumours are that the presidents that were briefed slightly higher were Reagan (Star Wars kerfuffle), Nixon (Nixon became part of 'the joint' based in N.Y.) and Bush Snr. Bush Snr knew a little more but that was due to his C.I.A days so he knew what to ask and when. If one considers there are 12 levels of 'Above Top Secret' above that scale of 20 you can see how clueless most presidents are. The story with JFK is that there were a rather unfortunate conjunction of interlinking no no's where he refused to back down. 1. Inspections of Damona (the Israeli reactor) as they started to tool up. 2. Some low level disclosure regarding ET (maybe Roswell?) 3. He wanted to dismantle the C.I.A. to levels where there would be more oversight. (Particularly dodgy). He saw the C.I.A. as actually a threat to the nation state when he couldn't reign them in regard to Vietnam etc...JFK was the first president to come up against 'the insiders' who were growing in confidence. Of course guns, war, drugs and money laundering is a very good way of making your own budget without bothering with those pesky congress sit downs.

Ive just heard a rumour that Capello is jacking in England and coming to manage us, its because Bill Gates is taking us over and has decided to pump 30billion in for new players. Seemingly, we'll be spending 1billion of that by buying Man United and moving them up here, then we'll start restructuring, hes already bought up Eldon Square so he can expand the ground down there, allegedly its going to hold 500k fans (oh and we'll all be getting cars as well with our season tickets.). Tight bastards.

Pretty much the same (although I'll happily admit too that they actually have some decent policies that aren't "BNP", if you see what I mean - or did last time I looked anyway. Funding those polices is a different matter, of course, but that's no different to the Greens or the Liberals). Having said that I'm happy enough to defend their right to exist (and not be fire-bombed), so long as they don't cross the line between freedom of speech and inciting violence/murder etc. Also I do think they are providing a much needed wake up call to other parties that they can't just ignore vast parts of the population and their concerns with impunity (Blears was on about this today), the BNP only exist as a remotely credible political force because of flaws in the main parties. The fact of the matter is the BNP is a voice of democracy, not a nice voice, not an agreeable voice, but that shouldn't matter - they should be opposed, but openly on both sides, not with underhand tactics and whispering campaigns. Frankly if the main parties actually freely and openly debated the issues that the BNP make ground and then acted on the result of it, the BNP would pretty much just go away. But if they just continue to shy away from it then it will continue to fester and the BNP will gain more ground inch by inch. Which is bad in every way possible for everyone. Yeah, some of their policies do sound alright. Like you say though, you can promise anything when you know you won't get in. Agree with you when you say other parties play into their hands by avoiding immigration. I also think they should be a legal party as well. Views like theirs are better out in the open, even if they aren't very pleasant. Totally in favour of all flavours and ideas being out in the open, makes it easier to debate and is basically what democracy is all about. The problem I have with saying some of their stuff seems reasonable is the big pile of shit in the salad bowl ie their covert racism. -
Rich governments and corporations are triggering alarm for the poor as they buy up the rights to millions of hectares of agricultural land in developing countries in an effort to secure their own long-term food supplies. The head of the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, Jacques Diouf, has warned that the controversial rise in land deals could create a form of "neo-colonialism", with poor states producing food for the rich at the expense of their own hungry people. Rising food prices have already set off a second "scramble for Africa". This week, the South Korean firm Daewoo Logistics announced plans to buy a 99-year lease on a million hectares in Madagascar. Its aim is to grow 5m tonnes of corn a year by 2023, and produce palm oil from a further lease of 120,000 hectares (296,000 acres), relying on a largely South African workforce. Production would be mainly earmarked for South Korea, which wants to lessen dependence on imports." http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008...fuels-land-grab What's all this about?

It's everywhere baby. YOu can probably trace it back to when Arg and Brazil defaulted. Or when Clinton had to lend Mexico enough money so they could pay. The key indicator for me was when the Fed changed the rules about how much of the green stuff they could print.

Green tax revolt: Britons 'will not foot bill to save planet'

Reading somewhere this morning, that even if we stand still on emissions, the growth in population by 2050 will put GG's up by 40%. Something is going to have to give. -

There must be a way of getting business to pay for pollution (emissions) offsetting the need for too much need for public taxes..Non?
