Thank you, Marion Maddox. This was an edifying and terrifying program. I wish I didn’t need to know – but the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Now I know why those saccharine-sweet girls at the garage sale I went to a couple of weekends ago weren’t responding to my raunchy old woman humour; they simply didn’t have a category for me.

Pass this on! If there were any video worthy of being passed on it’s this one! And while you’re at it. Help take back our Country!! Stop saying how bad things are and do something about it. You do have a voice in your Government!
P.S. Do Something!! – (Develop critical thinking skills)
SEARCH-STRING – (Update 1 July 2010) – Must add the “x House” attribute to the search-string. All previous searches listed above will suffer from the “x all” listing – which lists stuff LIKE vacant land, and other micscellaneous property items.
One link there – “What Really Caused World War 2?“ - peaks my interest (with a slant towards “the truth” -/- “Honest-facts”) imho. I must research -/- read these topics for myself as “other peoples-opinion” are always coloured according to their version of the truth.
ww2.htm QUOTED-HERE; – “When the German air force ran short of fuel, this was generously supplied from the great refinery belonging to the Standard Oil Company situated on the island of Aruba via Spanish tankers. This occurred during the war itself, yet these tankers were not sunk by American submarines.”
CONTRAST-AGAINST-THIS; – Air University Review, July-August 1981 – ARTICLE TITLED – The Role of Synthetic Fuel
In World War II Germany ~ implications for today? ~ AUTHOR; Dr. Peter W. Becker
QUOTE; – As a highly developed industrial state, Germany was dependent even in peacetime on external sources for an adequate supply of oil. Even though Germany’s 1938 oil consumption of little more than 44 million barrels was considerably less than Great Britain’s 76 million barrels, Russia’s 183 million barrels, and the one billion barrels used by the United States, in wartime Germany’s needs for an adequate supply of liquid fuel would be absolutely essential for successful military operations on the ground and, even more so, in the air.1 For Germany, it was precisely the outbreak of the war in 1939 and the concurrent termination of overseas imports that most endangered its ability to conduct mobile warfare.

Friday 12, 2010 – The group, Anonymous, blocked the main government website www.australia.gov.au and www.aph.gov.au, the Australian parliament’s homepage, for a second day running in protest over controversial plans to filter the internet.
Codenamed “Operation: Titstorm”, the hacking campaign involves hundreds of people from around the world and used a technique called Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) to jam web traffic, one of the protesters said.
The main-stream media (TV) – is not reporting on this much (Or, I have stopped watching), and so, .. ANY good ‘Internet-Search’ reveals a wealth of information on these topics). – I hope to follow up soon on this topic, from the technical angle, without the political-hype, lies, and deception provided by bias reporters, and hence provide my-own biased opinion.
In the closing minutes, moot’s purpose for speaking became clear: he insisted that anonymity is a good thing, yet we’re all giving it up voluntarily. He wasn’t talking about the NSA or tech policy or anything like that. Rather, he said sites like 4chan may go the way of the dinosaur because people are choosing to join social networking sites and persistent identity services. One of the ‘Net’s greatest strengths is disappearing as a result, but moot claimed that sites like 4chan show that a lot of good can come of anonymity, too. He seemed puzzled as to why everyone wants their identity tied to so much of what they say and do online. Do people hold back? Do they censor themselves? The power of being able to say or post whatever you want is undeniably strong, but moot didn’t speak to the dangers of anonymity.

Why do people keep saying it’s a child porn filter?? Conroy wants to censor sites like youtube for goodness sakes. it’s about banning anything and everything he doesn’t like not just child porn.

This just demonstrates how underprepared the government is to make sweeping changes to internet access. I predicted cyber attacks in response to the filter months ago, I can’t believe the government are so naive, and to now see them flailing around helpless against simple DDOS attacks is pathetic. This internet filter issue is waking a sleeping giant, DDOS is surely just the tip of the iceberg. The underground community have more resources and are more organised than what people give them credit for. How can they seriously complain about these attacks not being a legitimate form of political protest, when they are pushing this filter ahead without any public consultation in the first place? What goes around comes around.
IN – CONTEXT; 25 January 2010 ~ Monckton is about to begin an Australia lecture tour – (IF this interests you – follow the links, and listen to the audio “A passionate sceptic“)
MY-ORIGINAL-TITLE; “Some common sense – Thanks Christopher Monckton”
We’ve had the ‘climate-gate’ emails revealing that all of the principal players in the IPCC who have been most articulate and most forthright in pushing the notion that climate change may prove catastrophic, have been linked together in what can only be described as a small but powerful conspiracy to bend, distort, invent, manufacture, fabricate, budge, shift, tamper with, tinker with and even destroy scientific evidence for the sake of over-sexing the dossier, to use an old phrase.
that now needs to be reassessed, and it’s got to be done by an independent royal commission. Don’t let the scientists do it on their own,
Part two is that you really don’t want to go down the ETS route. An emissions trading scheme would be the largest tax in the history of Australia,
But there it was. He sent it straight to me, and I read it and was horrified to find that at paragraph 38 of annex 1 there were two references and very clear references to the establishment of a world government.
So I was horrified at this, particularly because this world government was going to be given enormous powers to regulate all markets. There’d be no such thing as free markets anymore, they were going to transfer the operation of all markets to the control of this world government.
And yet in these 186 pages, the words ‘democracy’, ‘ballot’, ‘vote’, ‘election’ do not occur even once. Why? Because they were wanting to set up a dictatorial government. It’s long been the ambition of totalitarians on every side, and here they thought they were going to get away with it.
So those Australians who are listening to this who happen to believe in the old fashioned concept of democracy, which I happen to love, then watch out because your governing class would still quite like to hand your powers of election over to an unelected world government if they possibly could, and you must stop them.
Paul Comrie-Thomson: Since Copenhagen, a lot has happened, the BBC for one has announced that it will carry out a probe into ‘the accuracy and impartiality of its science reporting’. Does that surprise you?
Christopher Monckton: It surprises me very much that they have finally admitted that there’s something wrong with the BBC’s coverage.
GOOGLED – Quasi stellar objects ;- (Just love that name – Robin Williams [Science-Show] on Radio National provide the podcast – download to listen to the complete interview OR listen online)
THE INTRO; It is assumed the physical laws apply universally, from the very small to the very big. But do the constants, used in equations, change at the extremes? Michael Murphy’s group uses quasars as a background light source, allowing light to be traced as it travels through space. This is used as a backdrop to study galaxies 10 billion light years away. Quasi stellar objects are super massive black holes, billions of times the mass of our sun. They suck in all material around and shine very brightly.
It is possible that the developer has mixed up his hyper-links with these two stories. “LHC still on hold”, with another story – interviewing the same guy, with the story name “The physical laws of the universe”. [Both interesting - if your into that sort of stuff]
This reminds me of the Monty Python movie – Life of Brian, song ‘Always look on the bright side of life’, where they spew out all these Milky Way facts, pointing out that you, and I are insignifigant in the bigger scheme of things, – ‘How Big is Big?’
OUR HOME: The Milky Way Galaxy;
The arrow points to our Star the Sun, which is any one of several hundred billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. – Pictured here, – The Star closest to our Sun is 4.5 light years away. – A Light Year is the distance light travels in one year. – Light moves at the speed of 186,272 miles or 300,000 kilimeters per second. – Our Sun is 30,000 light years from the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy. – So the light that we see coming from our Milky Way Galaxy’s center, left there 30,000 years ago. – The know Universe contains over 1,000,000 Billion of other Galaxies. – The Milky Way Galaxy contains at least 400 billion stars. -
We are living on a planet that is in constant high-speed motion around itself and traveling on its orbit around the Sun. – The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 25,000 miles or 40,000 kilometers. – The Earth rotates around its axis once every twenty-four (24) hours time, or one whole day and night. While Planet Earth is rotating on its axis at the speed of over 1000 miles or 1609 kilometers per hour, Earth is also traveling, revolving on its oval orbit around the Sun at the speed of about – 67,000 miles or 107,200 kilometers per hour once every 365 days or one whole year.
