A BOLD CONJECTURE

Over many years, especially since teh end of WWII, the Anglo-Saxon and Commonwealth sub-populations of the UK (and USA) have been softened up to be frighted of stating what's really the case, in order to make them cognitively pliable foot-soldiers/consumers. :-(

Once again Britain appears to be allowing itself to be dragged into Middle-Eastern politics via a media which is not acting on behalf of Britain's national interests.

Why? The 'Little Satan' is Israel, not Britain. Why is the ´óÏó´«Ã½ now making out otherwise?

THE REST OF THE JOB LEFT UNDONE

Brown has done his - apparent - best to ensure that MPs do not re-offend, but hasn't he missed a trick? If they all wore orange jumpsuits with 'POTENTIAL OFFENDER' emblazoned on the back, we could all sleepmore easily in our constituencies.

A BOLD CONJECTURE

This is what I find incredulous. We are told climate change is a problem. A dumbed down, soundbite for the masses, hiding the real problems. We have pollution, deforestation, species extinction. An increasing human population, being guided towards increasing consumerism. The answer we were told was to recycle carrier bags and turn your mobile charger off. (Oh how I laugh)

Yet as soon as we get a hiccup in the economic system. World leaders chant consume consume consume. Support you local High Street, increase the economy.

So if the situation was catastrophic before. Why has the public or the media not once stated "what really is the case". If we do what Governments tell us we make selves extinct.

We are living on a schizophrenic planet. It's madness.

The point about plastic carrier bags is that if we incinerated all our household waste they would not be a problem. I suspect that the type of plastic they are made of once made up part of the heavy fraction once used in large scale oil fired boilers, like in ships and railway locomotives. It was the case that when plastic came on the scene, nasty black smoke generating heavy oil became more expensive than diesel.

Having said that the point is that burning plastic anything in an incinerator is no problem to the environment these day's due to flue gas scrubber technology. It would be possible to recover the energy from waste and reduce consumption of other fuels, its said that the UK could generate 10% of the electricity base load in this way.

We all know what the public think about having to pay for plastic bags, they have voted with their wallets, several M&S food stores forced to close.

KingCelticLion (#4) "Yet as soon as we get a hiccup in the economic system. World leaders chant consume consume consume. Support you local High Street, increase the economy."

Hold that thought and filter the rest through that thought. Recycling saves councils costs as we do some of their service providers' presorting and save them money.

In Liberal-Democracies it's consumers first, people last. Why are you at the airport a couple of hours before your flight? So you spend more meny in the shops etc etc.

... both sides of the war on terror....

which implies both side are united in a policy of terrorism? its not an admission of guilt i've heard our FO make? i'm sure if we let go of our terrorism they would let go of theirs? but then its not really our 'war' is it? its not even our language. the correct term is crime and should be dealt with under criminal law.

The military are consumers, employers, and 'creators' of infrastructure projects. So what does it matter who/what they 'fight' as long as the war goes on a long time and the massive death toll is only inflicted on the Cheap Peoples? (It's a modern corollary to slavery.)

I read today, in an old copy of The Week, that the Cheap Peoples regard 9/11 as a put up job by the Axis of Devil. So it didn't fool them - and New York is not far behind, now. One good rumble deserves another. But Dubya is, no doubt, immune by some obscene USA pardoner-power, and Blair, as I said before, has contacts, elevation and wealth, that (I heard said) he can mobilise in 45 minutes.

But enquiries, too, bring employment, so mustn't grumble.

Incidentally, why is there not a gale of laughter every time someone says: "under oath"?

Jeremy's interview with Henry Gewanter was my favourite of the night. If it wasn't for him, the public would not have known about MPs expenses at all. Did it really make any difference if he was paid or not? To me, it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference, as dodgy MPs have been exposed. Gewanter, quite rightly, was proud of himself for bringing this to the public's attention, and did not make any money for himself.

SUICIDE MAY BE PAINLESS - BUT HAWKEYE PIERCE IS ALIVE AND WELL!

Today's episode of 'caring hell' exceeded all previous experience JJ. Female power-narcissists are actually locking horns for possession of my Brother's desperate shell. It's a play by one of those names one should drop.

Being a 'treasure' I suppose it is de rigueur to offer myself on 'Flogit' or 'Crap in the Attic'. Thanks for the tip - I needed a lift.

On the subject of uplifts - Celtic - a beautifully crafted video. Less song and more trains would have been nice. Your usual ones are more 'Frenzy of the Earth' to my ballad-trained ear.

Clearly we are living in interesting times; the curse is upon us.

I think I have gone from the sublime to the invidious.

Very good and thought-provoking piece by Tim Whewell on the young people in Pakistan.

Newsnight appears to be sending out odd signals. Iran doesn't have a socio-economic system like that of anarchistic, degenerating UK/EU/USA/Israel. This is apparently unacceptable to UK/EU/USA/Israel. Why is it acceptable? Why shouldn't UK/EU/USA/Israel be more like Iran? After all, the president of the SCO (Russia, China etc) congratulated Iran on choosing Ahmadinejad as president. Is the SCO wrong and the UK/EU/USA/Israel right? Why doesn't Iran want to be anarchistic too? Some of their youth clealry like it. See twitter. See much projectile_throwing_at_police behaviour which is described in the Western media as 'peaceful protest'. If people threw stones at me, I wouldn't describe them as peaceful. I'd get very annoyed! Has the Western media started to employ perceptually challenged 'reporters' in compliance with the EQUALITY ACT (2006)?

Is this the same 'peaceful protesting' which resulted in pogroms against protesters in Eastern Europe/Western Russia in the late C19th, followed by mass (several million) seeking of asylum in the UK and USA (followed by 1905 Alien Act and Sedition Act)?

JJ

I definatly truly belive some of the images the media are showing from Iran are fabricated.

It is difficult having a scientific background and having worked in a laboratory which was MoD and BS 5750 compliant (whatever it was at the time). Then within that environment having done quality control, R&D and forensics.

[Unsuitable/Broken URL removed by Moderator]

As soon as I saw the photos of mistreatment of of Iraqis that the Daily Mirror showed which resulted in Piers Morgan losing his job I knerw they were faked.

In that case I knew as a material scientist. The pictures claimed that a prisoner had been urinated on. This was untrue. In the picture the clothing showed beads of liquid. This could not happen. For beads the surface tension must be intact. Therefore the material must be new. carrying the residue of manufcature.(Never washed or worn prior) If they were mistreating a prisoner, why give them brand new clothes minutes before?

Without a laboratory and the sytems available I can only 'opine'. But an opinion with some objective scientific forensic background.

ITN showed a picture of a flag waving demonstartor, immediately behind a scence which included a beautifully written placard and then a further back ground. All in perfect focus.

In the fore ground the material flag was perfectly in shot. Either the demonstator was waving the flag very quickly, to get the unfurled image, or it was starched.

As there was no blurring the shutter speed must have been very high!!!!!But the depth of focus was perfect, fore ground, mid and back ground.

With the faces perfect, this was not just a digital camera quickly on auto (no blur on flag). So someone happened along with a very expensive camera and lenses. £1000-2000 plus at a minimum. That knew they could instantly get a perfect unblurred flag and the depth of field.

I have a reasonable digi camera (£200) I know all the menus. This camera would never have been able to take that picture.

Yet the media the News presented as some 'I've got a mobile and taken this picture'. Impoossible.

I could go on. But I am only 'opining' as I don't have the hard image and all the techie stuff to show that the image was a 'too professional' image. It lacked 'gritty realism' or should I say 'grainy'.

Perfect flag, perfect camera, perfect lens, perfect shutter speed, perfect depth of field, perfect placard, perfect background, perfect trimmed beard, perfect white teeth, perfect smile, perfect angle, perfect framing.....

The ''real'' world isn't perfect.????

More than 30 years wanted to be astronaut. Doing 3 science A levels plus General Studies. In RAF cadets. Intention join RAF, do degree in Earth Sciences, get pilots licence. Combine Earth Science degree with astronaut programme. Work on global ecological systems. See previous posts re Cousteau etc etc.

Did all the aerobatic flying there was nothing a Chipmunk could do which could even get anywhere disorientating me.

Had 9 operations on my leg. Would never get in RAF. Missed 1 year of school so did qualifications a different route. see #19.

perhaps it stopped my having to make the decision not to drop bombs on children?

Never been on any sort of commercial plane ever, never been to an airport. Why would I need to. No one has ever offered me work as a planetary systems ecologist abroad.

So what ever reason would I ever need to go on a plane. I always love where I am and the people I am with. Why need to travel abroad. All that pollution. What for?

I have served in, worked in, cleaned, refitted, built Kebab shops so understand some Urdu. Spent hours days weeks, months, years with Muslims. Was invited to go and live in the mountains north of Srinagar.

In part we are literally producing (and thus nurturing) more people who primarily care about themselves (Thatcher's legacy), in part, people are far too busy to care (blame ICT, automation), and in part, those who did care have given up (burned out) because there are so many demanding what they are to (they have Human Rights, duties being anathema to the free-market).

OF SEALING WAX AND STRING

My beloved grew up on Jersey and with her father being employed by the local airline spent many happy hours bouncing around in the back of various DC3 cargos. (Many held together to some degree with sealing wax, string and gaffer tape.) Possibly the most useful aircraft ever next to the Hercules.

As for the BSA Bantam (my first bike), that had interesting origins. Even JJ might find something there to comment upon.

barrie (#29) "I thought you might like to know that I read your heading as: "CRACKDOWN ON PROTESTENTS".

Ah yes, well, don't get me started on them again: I reckon they were a good part of problem - early 'rootless Cosmopolitans' or their like the vandals on the streets of Tehran they were egged on by the hands of Satan, giving people ideas above their station, telling folk they were all equals etc. 23% of London households have no parent at work. Now, ecolizzy, why is that, and why isn't it equal to all other areas?

- what's in name? We're all , except it wasn't just white British people behind the Race Relations Act, it was white British Jewish people who pressed for the legislation, possibly for affirmative action/hegemonic reasons, and whilst we can tell the difference between races by DNA (see links some time back to US commercial forensic technology), we're not allowed to as it's politically incorrect to do so, so they excluded the satellites from CODIS! Not that doing so is all that useful in itself, as discrimination against people on grounds of race alone is rightly wrong.

Should have read 'more than 30 years ago'. The lady across the road had bought me some wine and beer for looking after her house, garden and fish when they went away.

We lost daylight at 11pm, but the sun just glows below the horizon. So sat up and watched the sky. It was 3.00am when I wrote that. Plus the wine and beer. But was up early.

Thanks. We used to listen to a lot of their music. They asked me if I minded. I was pleased to listen to other stuff. They had techno/trance Bangra type eastern dance fusion stuff. This was early to mid 90's. 10 years later to the present western producers have taken the style into western popular culture. Sort of like this. As a first example?



But to me the original Pakistan and Indian stuff was preferable. It had a joyfulness to it. I could only manage a few words in Urdu so had no idea what they were singing about. But could hear sometimes western samples occasionally so used to really get into the cross culture of the music. We also talked of many things such as Sharia law etc.

We used to listen to all sorts of their music while preparing or when it was quiet. When it got busy we put on radio or generic western stuff. Don't want to upset the drunken punters with too much of a culture shock after the pubs on a Friday.

more proof [if needed] that the pen or the word is mightier than the sword.
people who skilfuly work with words bring light. A light that dispels darkness literally. Darkness is a 'spell' or form of words.

so it not surprising those who cast spells or darkness are ever keen to remove or silence those whose words bring light. Which is why in any repressive regime writers and artists are usually the first in the gulags or up against the wall. So writers/speakers are the canaries of a society.

so the great responsibility of those whose vocation is to use words in print or speech is to use them skilfully lest all they do is just increase the darkness.

the govt, under the smokescreen of mps expenses, have decided not to separate investment banks from retail banks? so when the investment [casino] banks go down they will drag the retail down with them.

And people say we don't encourage dysgenesis/stupidity. Some of are doing a rather good job breeding to what is clearly disreputable and dishonourable bias in our own press at home. After all, all Iran's opponents needed to do was to inflate the numbers voting in the local elections, it wouldn't matter who won, the aim would be to discredit the electoral process. Note the above critics, no stranger to Newsnight, don't finger who did the alleged 'rigging' - it's all done by innuendo as usual, which is precosely what incenses the Iranian government given that, unlike the anarchistic, atheistic, West, Iran prides itself in being a moral theocracy.

"Why? The 'Little Satan' is Israel, not Britain."

People would never guess about your Holocaust "Agnosticism" and reverence for Hitler.

You are still struggling to accept the science that says genetic variation is greater within a race than between races and there is therefore no basis for your racial policies. You encourage "encourage dysgenesis/stupidity" (#42).

But the BNP and their like are as you identify "evil racists" in #42.

But you do then go onto to suggest surprise that in a liberal democracy people tend to vote for liberal democracy and not for fascist tyranny.

The Dragons den shows one area we will have to consider - cuts. But that could stifle growth and leave us near the bottom of the hole?

How about the promoted ideas of using new green technologies to grow our way out of the hole?

Also will the economy "rebalance" naturally or will it need policy changes and who will make them?

"The trouble is, most people happily suspend disbelief when they go to the theatre."

Happily though most will spot that somebody who reveres Hitler does not have the answers for problems in a democracy - no matter how often they insist they have nor how mind destroying the poetry. People such as the BNP are after tyranny.

"The row was sparked by Ayatollah Khamenei saying the UK was the "most evil" of Western governments.
//
//
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We made clear to the Iranian charge that the supreme leader's comments were unacceptable and not based in fact. In the ambassador's absence, the charge was called in."
//
//
"However, Ayatollah Khamenei's description of Britain as the most 'evil' of foreign governments was a step too far."

British diplomats are thought to believe Britain is being used as "proxy" for the United States, because Iran does not want to endanger its improving relations with America."

On another point of accuracy Emilie, Britain is not the 'Little Satan' as you well know... Israel is. ;-)

On Pakistan does the fact that there is a more concerted effort and more focused political will against the Talibs mean that there is the possibility that their supply chains can be impacted?

I am assuming that a number of government people looked the other way and that elements of the ISI probably collaborate with the Talibs.

But now that there is flux. The Talibs are less popular and there is the outside chance of the nuclear component to the conflict causing disaster will the Talibs be the ones to suffer on supplies?

I know they had made bold strikes on routes to Afghanistan against the Nato supply convoys.

But if their money and arms are cut I assume even guerilla warfare becomes difficult.

If the US was allowed to insert special forces I assume there would be less chance of drones shooting up the wrong houses - though they do seem to have been quite successful.

Can the US afford to go on for ever and can Pakistan now conclude that there is no way to negotiate with the Taleban or to reduce civilian strife?

"Roma - Romanians - what's in name? We're all racists, except it wasn't just white British people behind the Race Relations Act, it was white British Jewish people who pressed for the legislation"

I would have thought that if Hitler had put Roma into death camps that would have been enough for you. You revere Hitler so you have said before.

"We're all racists" - no we aren't. Everybody may have passive tendencies but few actively base their political views on pseudo-scientific nonsense. Genetic variation is greater within a race than between races. Watch the Incredible Human Journey - still available on line.

The "special attention" to Jews is not even science in most peoples books and the best explanation I have managed to get to date was that Stalin ejected Jews who were "anarchists and Trotskyites". The sub-text was Hitler couldn't get a job and knew how to exploit tensions and crises to his advantage.

You seem to like Stalin as a statist - but then try to blame him for the Holocaust in the next breath.

Meanwhile Hitler himself was so impressed he invaded the Soviet Union.

I bet at the end as the Soviets approached his bunker in Berlin he revised his opinion and thought about offering a draw or pointing out that they were all jolly good "statists" and it was all a misunderstanding.

But the Russians were circa 25 million people down by then so he probably just decided to shoot himself while the going was good.

It would have been better to watch him hang after a trial but whatever.
