When the Bank of England was founded in 1694, the authors of the founding act knew that the resulting corporation might have the power to oppress Their Majesties’ subjects. Hence they foresaw a punishment.

There are enough of us who consider that Her Majesty’s subjects have been seriously oppressed by the banking system, which Austin Mitchell MP has tabled as Early Day Motion 1297.

After much delay the United States opened its new $700 million embassy in Iraq on Monday, inaugurating the largest — and most expensive — embassy ever built. The compound is six times larger than the United Nations compound in New York, and two-thirds the size of the National Mall in Washington. It has space for 1,000 employees with six apartment blocks and is 10 times larger than any other U.S. embassy.

This report from a 20-year Army veteran and visiting professor at the US Army War College is definitely a ‘bomb’…

The Limits to Growthwas published in 1972. It was seminal as a way of warning about economic growth at the cost of the environment. At the time, the ozone hole was the first serious sign of damage that we, the people, have been afflicting on our home, the planet. The five variables considered were:

  1. world population
  2. industrialization
  3. pollution
  4. food production
  5. resource depletion.

An update was published in 2004.

I was alerted to the high level of climate dangers by Aubrey Meyer who ceaseless promotes Contraction & Convergence: the West has to contract its CO2 emissions so that, together we can converge living on one planet.

The latest scientific and shocking article was published by the Guardian: Too late? Why scientists say we should expect the worst.

The Money Bomb is the seminal book by James Gibb Stuart about the National Debt as the mechanism used by national governments to “enslave” a nation’s people.

Bernard Benson was advertised in Paris as “la bombe de la paix” when I was looking for new directions in my life. His Peace Book became the story for Peace Child and brought me to London with a vision of a Peace Network of people and computers protecting our planet. That was 1981.

From Bernard Benson I learned that 1.7% of humanity are responsible for wars: governments, financiers, the military, arms producers and scientists.

UK: Government will spy on every call and e-mail
By Times Online.

Ministers are considering spending up to £12 billion on a database to monitor and store the internet browsing habits, e-mail and telephone records of everyone in Britain.

GCHQ, the government’s eavesdropping centre, has already been given up to £1 billion to finance the first stage of the project.
Hundreds of clandestine probes will be installed to monitor customers live on two of the country’s biggest internet and mobile phone providers – thought to be BT and Vodafone. BT has nearly 5m internet customers.
Ministers are braced for a backlash similar to the one caused by their ID cards programme. Dominic Grieve, the shadow home secretary, said: “Any suggestion of the government using existing powers to intercept communications data without public discussion is going to sound extremely sinister.”
MI5 currently conducts limited e-mail and website intercepts which are approved under specific warrants by the home secretary.
Further details of the new plan will be unveiled next month in the Queen’s speech.
The Home Office stressed no formal decision had been taken but sources said officials had made clear that ministers had agreed “in principle” to the programme.
Officials claim live monitoring is necessary to fight terrorism and crime. However, critics question whether such a vast system can be kept secure. A total of 57 billion text messages were sent in the UK last year – 1,800 every second.

“The CIA is a state-sponsored terrorists association. You don’t look at people as human beings. They are nothing but pieces on the chessboard.”
— Verne Lyon, former CIA agent in revealing documentary Secrets of the CIA


Secrets of the CIA is a fascinating 45-minute Turner Home Entertainment documentary made available for free viewing by Google at the link below. Five former CIA agents describe how their initial pride and enthusiasm at serving their nation turned to anguish and remorse, as they realized that they were actually subverting democracy and killing innocent civilians all in the name “national security” and promoting foreign policy agendas.

Thousands of Troops Are Deployed on U.S. Streets Ready to Carry Out “Crowd
Control”
By Naomi Wolf
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article20975.htm

08/10/08 “AlterNet” — Background: the First Brigade of the Third Infantry Division, three to four thousand soldiers, has been deployed in the United States as of October 1. Their stated mission is the form of crowd control they practiced in Iraq, subduing “unruly individuals,” and the management of a national emergency. I am in Seattle and heard from the brother of one of the soldiers that they are engaged in exercises now. Amy Goodman reported that an Army spokesperson confirmed that they will have access to lethal and non lethal crowd control technologies and tanks.
