yeah, kinda....but they aren't to the same standard as the "homeland security" that you guys have. We don't have colours splashed on our screens at all times, telling us how scared we should be. But MPs recommended clearer public warnings in wake of London bombings. A transparent official public warning system for the threat posed by terrorist attacks. It would be similar to your Homeland Security in the US. Since the specific criteria for each threat level are kept secret, it is impossible to know when raising it is justified - or, indeed, whether the lack of an "actual" terrorist strike on each such occasion so far shows that it works, or that it is pointless. I don't want it.

Well, infact, this wasn't even a video.....it was audio....mixed with old footage.

Yeah, it does....it works like a charm. We have had endless amounts of reports like this for the pat few months. Makes me think something might happen soon.

That just about makes for decent english, but not quite.

It's already been agreed to. This isn't just 'made up' you know.....it should be major news.

I'm sick of reports like this. What's new? nothing....but it serves as a obvious reminder to the public that we have to allow for tighter security and mover control over our lives. The only thing we have to be worried about is more State Sponsored Terrorism. Which is dressed up as "Bad muslim men" who want to destroy our way of life by the Governments. :angry:

Yes, you are right. I don't understand how some people just don't want to know about how bad it's getting. America is storming ahead with the process and the UK isn't that far behind anymore.

Air strike on Palestinian PM's HQ Witnesses said two missiles hit the cabinet building Israeli aircraft have launched an attack on Gaza City, hitting the office of the Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniya. The attack comes during an Israeli incursion into Gaza after one of their soldiers was abducted last week. Witnesses said two missiles hit the south side of the offices of the Hamas-led cabinet, starting a fire. Three security guards were reportedly injured in the attack, and at least one Hamas member died in a separate strike. The attack on the cabinet offices took place at 0145 local time (2245 GMT). The prime minister was not there at the time. Mr Haniya visited the scene of the attack later, saying: "They have targeted a symbol for the Palestinian people." "We ask the international community and the Arab League to take its responsibilities towards our people and intervene to bring an end to this aggression." The BBC's Alan Johnston in Gaza says he heard the sound of helicopters, and that witnesses said one rocket struck Mr Haniya's second floor office, setting the building ablaze. Another explosion was heard shortly after. Abbas hopeful The attack follows a strike on the office of the interior ministry on Thursday. Our correspondent says the attacks on ministers' offices were a clear sign the Israelis regarded them as personally responsible for the soldier's fate. Israeli forces have also moved into the south of Gaza as part of efforts to free the soldier, Corporal Gilad Shalit, 19, captured by militants during a raid on an Israeli army post last week. Speaking before the latest strikes, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said he was still hopeful of a peaceful resolution over the capture of the soldier. He said that the door to an agreement had not been closed and that negotiations would continue but he indicated that there were limits to his optimism, said our correspondent. The three groups believed to be holding the Israeli have demanded the release of 1,000 prisoners held in Israeli prisons, and an end to the offensive. Israel is refusing to consider a prisoner swap. Egyptian mediators have so far failed to secure the soldier's release. An official close to the negotiations told AFP news agency: "Our efforts to release the soldier have reached a dead end. "We could not do any more to release him because there are too many demands interfering with our efforts." The UN's special Middle East envoy, Alvero de Soto, is expected to travel to Gaza on Sunday for talks with Mr Abbas. Israel has rejected conditions set for information on, or the freeing of, the tank gunner who was seized in a raid on his border post last Sunday in which two other soldiers and two of the attackers died. large Israeli force remains poised on Gaza's northern edge as mediators make last-ditch attempts to reach a solution. Israeli tanks and bulldozers crossing the border near Khan Younis ran into gunfire and grenades on Saturday. It was the first sustained encounter between the two sides since the incursion was launched, our correspondent said. However, casualties in Gaza have been relatively light since the incursion began, with the deaths of two militants reported before Sunday's air strikes.

This would lead to a massive mainstream media attack on the 9/11 truth movement, with this Pentagon issue then being used to try and discredit the movement and shift attention away from all the more obvious and sustainable smoking guns which show far more clearly how much involvement the Government had.

I know, it's like this.....>>> Police hold mother-of-three for reading 'Independent' outside Downing Street

Yeah, I was reading this earlier. It's getting out of control. Police State here we come. Darth Vader outfits and all.

Gutted.

Wouldn't be a bad thing?? Are you crazy. You already say that you think the people wouldn't stand for it. Imagine for a moment what must have been going through the minds of the six-legged elites when they thought up this diabolical scheme. The question is “How do you destroy the national sovereignty of the United States, merge it with the rest of the western hemisphere, build the infrastructure system needed to link up the entire landmass, confiscate private property on a wholesale level, spy on everyone’s comings and goings, and trick American suckers into paying for their own demise all in one fell swoop ? The answer: TOLL EVERYTHING! The first obstacle is that it is generally illegal to toll federally funded roads. No problem…just sneak section 1604 into a telephone book sized highway bill and no one will notice. Everyone knows Congressmen and Senators do not actually read the bills they vote on. How do you get the super rich elites to go along with the plan? Simple…give them a piece of the action. Construction contracts will go to selected insiders and toll facilities will be given to private investors. We will call it “public-private partnership”. But wait! State by state, the local politicians must be persuaded to pass legislation to further the scheme. How to do it? Tell the contractors to write the necessary legislation, line the campaign coffers of key legislators, convince the Governor of each state that it was his idea via more campaign contributions, and sneak the bills through the state legislatures when nobody is looking. After all, state representatives do not read the bills they vote on either. Yet another requirement in order to pull this off is to keep the unwashed masses in the dark It would not do to have the sheep to find out they are about to be shorn. So how do you keep the press quiet? No problem…we control the press! The watchdog will remain asleep, and no one will find out until it is a done deal. Besides, when the cretins begin to realize what is going on, they will complain to their local transportation officials and wonder why no one is listening. Just don’t let the slaves know that the “massa” barking the orders resides in New York City at the headquarters of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). But the Constitution stands in the way of the plot. What to do about the pesky supreme law of the land which prohibits the taking of private land and handing it over to other private entities? How fortunate that the globalist infested Supreme Court, in June of 2005, legislated from the bench by re-writing the takings clause of the 5th Amendment in Kelo vs. City of New London. Now the Supremes say it is okay to force people to sell their land to private developers who promise a kickback to the government, we are free to proceed with the tolling of America. Still one more problem must be overcome. We must propagandize transportation officials into believing this is a great idea so they can sell it to private investors and politicos nationwide. ADVERTISING is the key. We will get the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials to put up a website called http://www.innovativefinance.org. It will be a veritable “how to” encyclopedia of fascism, but we will call it “public-private partnership” because “fascism” does not roll so well off of the tongue. Multi-millionaire highway contractors and local politicians will be able to swill at the federal trough to their hearts content. It will be a win-win setup for everyone except regular Americans, who are just being set up. This malicious plan is being implemented all across America. Such plots survive and thrive only in the dark. It is time to turn on the lights and watch the cockroaches run. In Texas, pro-toll politicians have been replaced with anti-toll newcomers. This trend must continue, and spread like a wildfire of truth throughout the country. The alarm clock is ringing. Wake up. Get up. Open your eyes. Get out the roach spray. Fumigate your house. Go wake up your neighbors. Look around for the info, it is happening.

I wasn't addressing you, sorry. I have to see both sides, otherwise where are my arguments going to arise from?

Wouldn't try? Why are they then? You do know that it's not like the Union is gong to happen overnight, right? It's all about the processes that are going on everyday - the smaller steps which are paving the way. I'm sure you sometimes get ahead of yourself and think these things are going to happen next week or something. But, having said this.....laws are being passed which take you closer all the time.

thought this could go here.... http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/june2006/300606waste.htm Watch it.....every time I see Bush and hear him speak....the more I can't understand what he does. Listen to actually what he says......the words......:S

IT’S THE LAW! FEDS PAVE THE WAY TO TOLL AND PRIVATIZE THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AS PART OF AMERICAN UNION Infowars.com | June 29, 2006 By Bob Dacy CLICK HERE FOR LARGER PICTURE On July 29, 2005, President Bush signed a bill which permits and promotes the charging of tolls on existing and planned interstate highways, bridges, and tunnels. Before the passage of the bill, known as SAFETEA-LU, or “Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users”, it was generally illegal to charge tolls on roads built with Federal funds. What’s more, the tolls collected will be automatic, requiring universally compatible toll transponder tags on every vehicle. SAFETEA-LU makes possible a variety of programs, all aimed at forcing Americans to pay to travel. To wit: * “Interstate System Reconstruction & Rehabilitation Pilot Program” allows the tolling of existing interstate highways, bridges, and tunnels to fund repair of existing highways. * “Interstate System Construction Toll Pilot Program” authorizes tolling existing facilities on the interstate system to fund new interstate highways. * “Value Pricing Pilot (VPP) Program” allows new tolls on existing toll free facilities such as high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, tolls on new lanes added to existing highways, and electronically collected variable tolls on existing and new toll facilities. * “Express Lanes Demonstration Program” allows tolling to finance new lanes. Automatic toll collection is REQUIRED and revenue collected may be used to provide a reasonable rate of return on PRIVATE financing, operation, and maintenance costs. * “High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Facilities, SAFETEA-LU Section 1121 (23 USC 166)” authorizes states to build high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes on interstate and non-interstate facilities. Although most of these programs are experimental, the mindset they demonstrate and the precedents they intend to set will have devastating consequences on all Americans. The mindset is that Americans are lab rats in a maze, who must be tagged and tracked everywhere they go. Cockroaches control the maze. The consequences to the heretofore taken for granted freedom to travel and to individual pocketbooks are ominous. Imagine for a moment what must have been going through the minds of the six-legged elites when they thought up this diabolical scheme. The question is “How do you destroy the national sovereignty of the United States, merge it with the rest of the western hemisphere, build the infrastructure system needed to link up the entire landmass, confiscate private property on a wholesale level, spy on everyone’s comings and goings, and trick American suckers into paying for their own demise all in one fell swoop ? The answer: TOLL EVERYTHING! As with any diabolical plot, many problems and obstacles had to be removed in order to insure success. As the Wicked Witch of the West once said, “The question is `how to do it`. These things must be done delicately, or you’ll hurt the spell”. The first obstacle is that it is generally illegal to toll federally funded roads. No problem…just sneak section 1604 into a telephone book sized highway bill and no one will notice.

Proof That 'Flight 77' Eyewitness Report Skewed 'I saw faces of passengers' man furious with newspaper for twisting his words Paul Joseph Watson | June 30 2006 Many Flight 77 skeptics who believe that an American Airlines Boeing 757 did not hit the Pentagon on 9/11 scoff at eyewitness testimony which claims to describe intricate details about the alleged commercial airliner. In at least one case those doubts have now been validated. James R. Cissell, an eyewitness to the object that struck the Pentagon on September 2001, is furious with a Cincinnati newspaper for falsely attributing quotes to him that he never made. The Cincinnati Post reported Cissell's comments in a September 12 story headlined, 'I saw the faces of some of the passengers.' Here is how the Post quoted Cissell in full. ''Out of my peripheral vision,'' Cissell said, ''I saw this plane coming in and it was low - and getting lower." ''If you couldn't touch it from standing on the highway, you could by standing on your car." ''I thought, 'This isn't really happening. That is a big plane.' Then I saw the faces of some of the passengers on board,'' Cissell said. For an earlier article, we undertook a simple video analysis in which a low flying American Airlines Boeing 757 was speeded up by four times to approximate what eyewitnesses would have seen. It's plausible they could have identified the jet as a large American Airlines Boeing 757, but comments about seeing intricate details of the plane as it zoomed past at over 500 MPH are outside the realm of possibility. We concluded the analysis by commenting,"The video and any degree of common sense suggests that Cissell could not possibly have seen the faces of the passengers on board. Even when the video is reduced to normal speed, four times slower than the reported speed of Flight 77, you can't see passengers in the windows." That conclusion has now been proven accurate in a development that will cast more suspicion on embellished accounts of what eyewitnesses saw crossing the Pentagon highway before it ploughed into the building. James R. Cissell contacted us to express his anger at the newspaper for taking his comments completely out of context. "The Cincinnati Post article, which you refer, angered me greatly after reading it. It is almost completely fiction based loosely on an interview I did with a Cincinnati Post reporter Kimball Perry who called me in response to an on air phone report that I did for Channel 12 in Cincinnati." Cissell relates what he actually told the reporter. "The reporter took extreme creative license not only with the title but also with the story as a whole. Why he felt the need to sensationalize anything that happened on September 11 is beyond me. My words to the reporter were, "I was about four cars back from where the plane crossed over the highway. That it happened so quickly I didn't even see what airline it was from. However, I was so close to the plane when it went past that had it been sitting on a runway, I could have seen the faces of passengers peering out." Here's the Post quote again. "I saw the faces of some of the passengers on board.'' ]b]Compared to, "Had it been sitting on a runway, I could have seen the faces of passengers peering out."[/b] Cissell's comments were taken so far out of context that this seems to be a deliberate attempt at sensationalism or even an effort at lending bias towards the assumption that the plane was a large commercial airliner with passengers on board. Cissell has himself worked in media and expressed his incredulity at the sloppy journalism betrayed in the article. His numerous calls, e mails and letters to the Post went unanswered and though he was promised the online version of the article would be removed, as of June 30th it is still online without retraction. Regarding the speculation that something other than Flight 77 hit the Pentagon and alternate explanations behind the event, Cissell is not certain that the plane was as large as a 757, but at least as large as a 727. "As far as the size of the plane, it happened very quickly. What I can say is that it was a passenger plane at least as big as a 727 maybe bigger. From the time I heard it over my left shoulder and turned to see it I had one thought, 'he's off course'; I was used to seeing planes fly along the Potomac on the other side of the Pentagon to land at national airport just a mile or two away. My next thought wasn't a thought, it was the realization of what was happening and that happened moments or even a moment before the plane struck." "Later I found it remarkable that someone even saw what airline it was from. The plane was coming from left and behind of me - I guess if you were on the other side of the highway and facing the plane as it came in you would have had a lot more time to react," said Cissell. These comments cloud the accuracy of the eyewitness reports of people who claimed to have seen clear markings which would have irrefutably identified the aircraft, such as Christine Peterson, who claimed that the plane was "so close that I could read the numbers under the wing." Did Peterson really say this or was she also taken out of context? Why would reporters need to sensationalize one of the biggest events in world history? Was its scope not gargantuan enough? Cissell disagrees with some aspects of how the official version of events describes the approach of the aircraft. "Looking at the trajectories in the diagrams they have online seems off to me. I remember the plane coming in more directly at the side of the building than at an angle," said Cissell. Cissell makes it clear that speculation that the object was a missile or that there was no plane at all is off base. "With regards to conspiracies in general, I think the conspiracy people need to be focusing on is the one where Bush and his administration leveraged the tragedy of 911 to enter a war for money and oil that cost the lives of who knows how many civilians, a couple thousand soldiers and undid 30 years of progress in a region that was slowly healing itself."

And as for the Al-Qaeda thing...... It too IS a CIA controlled group. Used as blame for almost everything. The origins of al-Qaeda can be traced to a few weeks after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, when a cadre of non-Afghani, Arab Muslim fighters joined the largely United States and Pakistan-funded Afghan mujāhidīn anti-Russian resistance movement (a guerrilla war against Soviet occupation forces and the Soviet-backed Afghan government). Before the United States invaded Afghanistan, the Taliban offered to turn over bin Laden to a neutral country for trial if the United States would provide evidence of bin Laden's complicity in the attacks. President Bush responded by saying "We know he's guilty. Turn him over" and soon thereafter the United States invaded Afghanistan and, together with the Afghan Northern Alliance, deposed the Taliban government. According to the controversial BBC documentary The Power of Nightmares, al-Qaeda is so weakly linked together that it is hard to say it exists apart from Osama bin Laden and a small clique of close associates. The lack of any significant numbers of convicted al-Qaeda members despite a large number of arrests on terrorism charges is cited by the documentary as a reason to doubt whether a widespread entity that meets the description of al-Qaeda exists at all.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/5129904.stm US Guantanamo tribunals 'illegal' Many Guantanamo detainees have been held for years The US Supreme Court has ruled that the Bush administration does not have the authority to try terrorism suspects by military tribunal. Justices upheld the challenge by Osama Bin Laden's ex-driver to his trial at Guantanamo, saying the proceedings violated Geneva Conventions. The ruling is seen as a major blow to President George W Bush - but it does not order the closure of Guantanamo. Mr Bush said he would respect it but also protect Americans from "killers". The Cuba-based facility currently holds about 460 inmates, mostly without charge, whom the US suspects of links to al-Qaeda or the Taleban. Profound implications Osama Bin Laden's ex-driver, Salim Ahmed Hamdan, is one of 10 Guantanamo inmates facing a military tribunal. He launched the proceedings demanding to be tried by a civilian tribunal or court martial, where the prosecution would face more obstacles. Analysis: Military tribunals In its ruling, the court said: "Whether or not the government has charged Hamdan with an offence against the law of war, cognisable by a military commission, the commission lacks power to proceed." "The procedures adopted to try Hamdan also violate the Geneva Conventions," the justices said. The ruling does not demand the release of prisoners held at Guantanamo but gives the administration an opportunity to come up with another way of trying those held. The BBC's Nick Miles in Washington says the implications of the decision are profound, as Washington will either have to court-martial the detainees or try them as civilians. It may end up releasing many prisoners and returning them to their home countries, our correspondent adds. 'Serious look' One of the dissenters, Justice Clarence Thomas, took the unusual step of reading part of his opinion from the bench, saying the decision would "sorely hamper the president's ability to confront and defeat a new and deadly enemy". Hamdan was a driver for Osama Bin Laden President Bush said he would "look seriously" at the case, adding: "The ruling, as I understand it, won't cause killers to be put out on the street." He added that he would work with Congress "to determine whether or not the military tribunals will be an avenue in which to give people their day in court". The decision was welcomed by senior Democratic Senator Carl Levin. "The Supreme Court has once again demonstrated its vital constitutional role as a check and balance on the actions of the executive and legislative branches of government," he said in a statement. Mr Hamdan had success in his first legal outing, in the US District Court in Washington, which ruled that he could not face a military trial unless he had previously been found not to be a prisoner of war under the Geneva Convention. He claims POW status, but like all camp prisoners, he is denied this and is instead designated an "unlawful combatant" by the Bush administration. However, an appeal court reversed this decision and said Mr Bush had the authority to order the trials.

Paramilitary Secret Police Kidnap, Detain, Torture Bilderberg Investigators Interrogators threatened to "cut off arms" during 6 hour marathon of hell Three Canadian citizens who visited the Brookestreet Hotel in Ottawa to observe members of the Bilderberg Group earlier this month were kidnapped, detained without charge and suffered the ordeal of a marathon interrogation session and psychological torture - including threats to "cut off the arms" of one of the victims. The nightmare began on June 9th, the second day of the Bilderberg conference. After being warned to leave the previous day, Joe Burd's party of three left the site of the Brookestreet Hotel at 2pm where he and Crystal Slack headed for a local bar, while Burd's friend electrician Don McCormick rested in their rented vehicle which was parked on a downtown street. What happened next should chill the core of anyone who thinks that westerners still live in a free society. Joe Burd picks up the story. "A military-grade task force involving local police, RCMP and members of the “Integrated National Security Enforcement Team” descended around the rental vehicle with weapons pointed at Mr. McCormick. He was abruptly and forcibly taken into custody from his vehicle, thrown to the ground and kicked in head." After approaching the vehicle, Burd and his friend Crystal Slack were also grabbed and kidnapped, taken to a RCMP holding facility, detained without charges, harassed and interrogated for hours about their connections to the "insurgent" and "threat to national security" Alex Jones, who himself had been detained and interrogated for 15 hours at the hands of Canadian immigration the previous day. They were the lucky ones. McCormick was taken to a secret high security facility where he was brutally interrogated without charge and mentally tortured for six hours. He was accused of wanting to blow up the Brookestreet Hotel, as the interrogators threatened to "cut off his arms" warning him that they also "had his friends" in custody. This is the very definition of psychological torture, the threat of physical harm and dismemberment. One of the dictionary definitions of torture is, "dismemberment, taking apart - the removal of limbs; being cut to pieces." The threat of extreme physical pain is a method used on suspected terrorists and was also inflicted upon innocent prisoners at Abu Ghraib. McCormick's anguish at the hands of the Canadian Gestapo didn't end there. Interrogators told McCormick that he “would never be alone again” and to “watch his back” - as he began to fear he would become the latest victim of the worldwide rendition policy, and be taken to an Eastern European gulag for further torture. McCormick was so stricken by the horror of his nightmare that many of the details of what happened remained bottled up, partly from threatened fear of reprisals if he told anyone what had occurred. Finally being released and returning home the next day, McCormick became delirious and had to be rushed to hospital after he collapsed. He was diagnosed with severe dehydration and mental fatigue due to his experiences in Ottawa. McCormick had to be sedated to help him sleep as he babbled about having his arms cut off and interrogators threatening to harm his friends. From the experiences of Alex Jones during his 15 hour ordeal with Canadian immigration officials, it was learned that the order to impede Jones' party came directly from the Bilderberg Group itself. With this knowledge in hand, it is by no means a stretch to assume that the hellish treatment of Burd, McCormick and Slack was also a mandate of the Bilderberg elitists. These are the pleasures of the global elite and their security thug enforcers - repression of free speech, intimidation, kidnapping, grabbing people off the streets and treating them as terrorists, and psychological torture - all carried out under the wilful arrogance that they are protecting the nation from harm. The real terrorists are the perverted bullies that kidnapped three peaceful citizens and subjected them to a marathon of hell - and they represent a threat to the freedom and way of life of all Canadians.
