The Chilcott Report, if it were posted on a blog, would be posted in its entirety. As it is, it is but a claim right now that it exists; we know a fuckload of public money was diverted and spent on the inquiry, and absent proof to the contrary, claims in MSM that the report implicates former Prime Minister Anthony Blair in war crimes, is itself grounds to issue a warrant for his arrest - at which point full public disclosure is an inevitability as it becomes evidence in a criminal trial. My question on that, is just who exactly originated that claim and have they actually read the Chilcott Report?
Blogs: are generally prepared to furnish evidence to claims made. MSM: reports what Government tells them to, evidenced or not.
Alyssa Rowan is a pretty senior figure in the CFRG (Crypto Forum Research Group) which offers advice and technical assistance to IETF and other bodies in matters crypto. They recently had (through December 2013) had a bit of a set-to in attempting to remove a co-chair based on the suspicion that he worked for the NSA. This attempt failed when the (unsurprisingly balanced) decision was made in January not to remove him.
If you've attracted the attention of the security services (and if you haven't I'm VERY disappointed in you!), they'll be looking for encryption. If they see a hard drive with only half its capacity in use yet the system reads full, they'll be wondering what's in the hidden container. Assuming you're not about to give them the key to your cat porn collection, they're gonna assume it's something much more insidious.
Security 101: if it's not meant to be on a network, don't store it on a network. If you want to hide something, don't hide it where you're gonna glance at it - encrypted/hidden partitions are going to do nothing but raise suspicions. There's good situations to have secure partitions, for example in medium to large business networks where onion security is easily implemented, those without proper credentials are not going to be able to access data in readable form. Period. There's no reason for the mail room to have access to financial data, but they might need the mail database. Secure them both, pass out credentials on a need to know basis. If you want to hide data from outside parties, don't put it in an obvious place like a Truecrypt container (hidden or not) on your fucking laptop.
the last time a British monarch actually got to use the Veto prerogative was in 1708 (Queen Anne on the Scottish Militia Bill). There has been no effective Royal Veto since 1911 when it was practically abolished (the Parliament Act), the final nail was in 1999 when Blair abolished Hereditary Peers from the House of Lords (House of Lords Act, which as was pointed out by Baroness Jay of Paddington in Hansard HL Deb 14 October 1998 vol 593 cc921-1042, could *not* be opposed by any member!) at the same time as he abolished capital punishment for the only remaining crime that was until then still on the Statute books as punishable by death - felonious treason against the reigning Monarch.
Basically, the Queen has zero say in how the country is governed, her speeches are written for her - by the Government, and proofread by the Prime Minister! Plus, just take a look at what the papers reported when Pope Benedict graced her with his presence in 2010 - she not only held the door for him(!), in her own house(!!), she allowed him to pass through *first*, which as anyone who has ever been in the presence of any member of the Royal Family will tell you is entirely against protocol, as staff *always* hold the door and staff *always* enter a room first, followed by the Royal Member followed by the guest and his/her entourage. I wonder how many doors she held open for the President of South Korea last November 5th on her State visit to Buckingham Palace?
it just strikes me as unbelievably odd behaviour considering the Fed's stance on other countries it reported as having prepped human shields using children, and the timing is just too perfect to have been a coincidence.
ok, so remove the ferry shrimp, and what do you have?
In six months, you're knee deep in a toxic sludge, is what you have.
They move and convert nutrients. They're food for something else. What else is hurt by their removal? Waders, for one. Flamingoes, as an example, feed exclusively on shrimp. Remove the shrimp from their habitat, every flamingo will starve to death. Which is why salt lakes and marshes are important for brine shrimp and for flamingoes.
ok, hands up anyone who ever listened to a word Greenpeace had to say, considering their ships drink fuel oil pumped probably from the same wellheads they try to blockade with their fucking boats?
mechanical control is the only way to control blackberries. I've seen vines blast across ground obliterated by a Roundup treatment as if it were virgin laid potting compost. My method involves liberal application of machete followed by incineration. Leaves me with a lovely fertile ash which gets turned back into the soil. Cow parsley gets the same treatment, that stuff is evil (not to mention highly toxic to humans and aggressive in growth/spread), incineration is the ONLY way to dispose of that.
we have a pretty dangerous bite. Not so much in bite pressure or dentistry, more so in the flora which inhabit our foodholes. Leaving out the fluoride toothpaste which wouldn't be available when civilisation falls, we would all soon make komodo dragons' breath smell positively divine. Anyone like to take a guess at how komodos kill their prey? It's not through the immediate lethality of their bite (they have pissweak jaws), it's the bacterial soup in their mouths - they'll follow prey, once bit, for over a week until it drops through blood poisoning, then it's neck deep in guts and gore.
In England, I hunt and eat grey squirrel (invasive from North America - check), rabbit (invasive from Eastern Europe (introduced by the Romans) - check), canada goose (invasive from North America - check), and when I come across them, ring-necked parakeets (check it out - feral invasive!) make for a tasty stick snack.
The rabbits and the geese are relatively large animals, being that they'll provide for two, sometimes three or more meals each, which is kinda handy. Three rabbit and half a dozen squirrel (a quiet weekend's kill) feeds me for a week.
Have you seen airliners on terminal approach to Luton Airport? If that doesn't leave you with your balls in your mouth just watching from the ground, you're not paying attention. They hit harder than carrier landings there.
How many children died when Hiroshima and Nagasaki got nuked? I remind you, the only two occasions in recorded history when nuclear weapons were used in anger. I don't consider those aircrews heroes, I consider them to be mass murderers, I don't care how you justify the killing and the fact that they were just following orders holds about as much water as the number of times that phrase was repeated at the Nuremberg war crimes trials - the fact that those aircrews were American makes it all the more disgusting when it's now Americans trying to tell the rest of the world how to behave! And just like a bomb, I make no distinction according to age, skin colour, religion or sexual preference. If you're in the blast zone, you're dead as far as a bomb is concerned.
...who just happened to be inside a Government building.
Intent aside (I'm not a mind reader), that is the fact. There were perfectly good private creches dotted around, why suddenly did the Fed feel the need to install creches in its buildings?
Why did Germany invade Russia? Was it in response to the Russian invasion of Poland and annexation of Ukraine? Or was it the case, commonly accepted yet utterly ludicrous, that Germany thought she could take on and beat down an army easily a hundred times her size with another similarly sized army behind it (the population of China with her military history - hello, Khan?), while at the same time fight on two other fronts (the Africa campaign and the Western Front in France) while maintaining flow of fuel and ammunition to all three fronts from a dwindling stockpile of both neither of which were being replenished from anywhere??

here's a line:

We are all figments of a deranged imagination.
The difference between blogs and mass media:

I have one.

I'm pretty sure Thatcher, not Elizabeth Windsor, was calling the shots when the British kicked the Argies off the Falklands.
what else do flamingo eat, Mister Attenborough?
it just strikes me as unbelievably odd behaviour considering the Fed's stance on other countries it reported as having prepped human shields using children, and the timing is just too perfect to have been a coincidence.
owie! I just headbutted my desk through laughing so hard!
"Do you like our owl?"
"It's artificial?"
"Of course. Do you think I would be working here if I could afford a real one?"

Thought as much.

that's not entirely accurate anyway. My primary source of meat protein is wild rabbit.
salt's a preservative.

sooo... Hussein building a school in the middle of a compound is different how?
so were the inhabitants of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Bremen...
Hiroshima.
Nagasaki.
That is all.

Smart people are individually dangerous. Stupid people are collectively deadly.

I have a question.
Why did Germany invade Russia?
Was it in response to the Russian invasion of Poland and annexation of Ukraine?
Or was it the case, commonly accepted yet utterly ludicrous, that Germany thought she could take on and beat down an army easily a hundred times her size with another similarly sized army behind it (the population of China with her military history - hello, Khan?), while at the same time fight on two other fronts (the Africa campaign and the Western Front in France) while maintaining flow of fuel and ammunition to all three fronts from a dwindling stockpile of both neither of which were being replenished from anywhere??
