Friday 20 May 2011
Tonight, we lead on the news that a professional footballer has obtained a disclosure order against the social networking site Twitter.
The application seeks the disclosure of the identities of a number of Twitter users who had been responsible for the publication of confidential information about him.
Then we'll be looking into the story that the Rwandan government is masterminding an alleged assassination plot in this country against dissidents critical of the Rwandan regime.
And as Dominique Strauss-Kahn is granted bail by a judge in New York after being formally charged with trying to rape a hotel maid, we'll consider who might be in line for his former job heading up the IMF.
All that with Emily Maitlis at 10.30pm.

The world loves Youtube, Google, Twitter and Facebook, as they can experience the freedom that evades them in their countries - including Britain. Thank God these companies are American.
However, it rather raises a tough question about the government's attempts to create our own Facebooks, et al: why would the world use British technologies that cannot demonstrate the freedom of speech and expression they are used to with the above? A lack of a U.K. Bill of Rights, together with the disastrous union between militant British judges and the European Convention on Human rights Act will snuff out any attempts to expand our tiny silicon roundabout.

Dawkins has his flaws - he doesn't differentiate, for instance, between criticism of herbalism vs. criticism of angel therapy, and one would think that they deserved different analyses. Each can be valid but for different reasons, and I don't see how understanding biological evolution necessarily negates the usefulness of either. But Dawkins is a man driven to be defensive by populist 'opinion'.
Under the front of the tongue are two lumps on the bone - previously where jaw muscles attached. At the back of the roof of the mouth are two dimples, previously the holes in the palate that reptiles have. The transformation of the embryo is well known also.

The concept of a bailout changes in the context of naked unlimited unregulated credit default swaps
It becomes a take over/down
The staggering importance of this has yet to reach the wider public and most politicians.
Naked unlimited unregulated Credit Default Swaps are THE reason we will have another financial disaster .
"everyone including the US and UK will have to default on the debt"
Unless we stop fractional reserve banking we will always have this problem of debt .
This is where the vast criminality is -
The total failure to ban/regulate (make safe) derivatives and fractional banking and bring to justice those who caused the sub-prime disaster. They got away with it and now they have moved on to taking over whole countries. This is what happens when you dont deal with criminals .
"its simply not sustainable to keep increasing taxation on real working people and especially those on low incomes to provide what has become a true welfare state for the stock market parasites."
Its been used to re implement a feudal class system and remove any aspiration of the lower middle class and working class. They could easily tax the Forex to deal with the 'deficit', so why dont they ?

That would be a 'not so much' then.
And the logic of inviting on a person to discuss something who can't or won't talk in a silly attempt at heat over light is... quaint. If typical.
Rather like seeing a vastly overpaid expert is now outed as making a ton of money from making a disaster out of a crisis. That'll look good on the firm's CV.
Interesting that all are agreed that 'people who break court orders' should go to jail.
One wonders how the 成人快手 and its usual slew of guests feel about that notion relative to the sentences imposed and/or proposed for other crimes, some rather more serious (IMHO).
I'd also have liked the difference between 'private information' being used (to describe very public behaviour if a person goes out of their family to bed another) several times to be challenged and discussed further.
Maybe Emily didn't feel the need?
Anyway, on a no way related note, looking forward soon to Mr. Marr's challenging interview with President Obama, his 'people' in no way having checked the 成人快手's top man's body of work and unearthing enough to ensure no questions get asked that don't suit the narrative that side of the pond as well.
Truly, an uncompromised, independent media estate of integrity and professionalism of which we can all be proud!

Whilst at Sainburys yesterday I decided to buy a bottle of 'Encona' Thai sweet chilli sauce. I found the sauce in one of the main aisles, a rather small bottle I thought that was priced at 90p.
A little while later I happened to be browsing in the ethnic section of the supermarket, a bit out of the way from the rest of the store, and what should I find?
....a bottle of 'Encona' Thai sweet chilli sauce *twice the size* of the the one I picked up earlier for the same price of 90p!

Why ?
A New Drachma would? also be attacked by CDS's and Greece would go to hyperinflation.
So the reality is that criminals have created a situation where by we have a money system based on debt and then a bailout situation which amounts to a take down/over.
For all the Greek people out there this is the part you need to concentrate on:
"when, not if "

"The Greek government will forbid withdrawals from Greek banks."

Do people now understand why people like Max Keiser have been advocating buying gold and silver for the last 8 years as a store of wealth ?

Do you think the banksters like this guy or dont like him?.
The recent Strauss-Kahn spectacle may-well be on his mind.
Keep an eye on Joaquin Almunia.
Where will his efforts get him and the effect on the banks?

Even better, forget the supermarkets if you live in an area with a ethnic poulation (we now have quite a few Nepalese here, great people), they have a wonderful little shop and stock an amazing array of food products that if you can find them in the supermarkets, the prices are much higher
Well worth checking out and quite fascinating if you are just used to big supermarkets
