We have all been hearing about the crisis in our financial industries.
But do any of us know the real facts about our money supply ?
We work hard for money.
When we have it we store it.
We hoard it and we dream of more.
Some people lie and steal for it.
Some people even kill for it.
It is paper !
On the paper read the words 'I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of 5, 10, 20, 50 pounds.'
It is an IOU for the amount in the GOLD reserves of the nation.
Or it USED to be.
Governments have always had to regulate their Banking system, for obvious reasons.
History has shown us there are no 'good, honest banking practices.'
Only corrupt, greedy people.
Margaret Thatcher 'deregulated' the UK banks in the early 80's.
(Multi-millionaire husband, Dennis - a Banker - was much pleased. As were the many Tory Ministers who moonlighted on the Boards of the major clearing houses.)
For deregulation read let off the leash.
Banks could now print money that was not related to the country's gold supply.
Instead, they used OUR debt to them (ie bank loans, mortgages, etc) as THEIR pot of gold.
They printed money on OUR promise to pay them back in the future !!
An IOU for an IOU !?
And it worked.
First, the Yuppie revolution.
Gambling, cough, through the shares markets.
Then the Housing bubble.
The DotCom bubble.
The War machine bubble.
First, Millions then Billions, now Trillions.
This crazy, mad system is now grinding to an end.
Thank God for that.

Dad Smothers Children.
I shed a few tears when reading about the dad who killed his kids in Southampton at the weekend.
As a father of two girls, one I am not allowed access to, I can sympathise with the mans actions.
I am not saying I would kill my children, but I HAVE wanted to kill my ex and her family.
Fighting the Legal system and bilious family members once brought me to my wits end.
Without the support of my friends, I know I would be either in prison or dead.
Losing contact with your own children hurts so much and ultimately twists your mind.
Combine that with the pressures and stress of Court action, the lies and gossip when other family members get involved, is it any wonder that tragedy is the result.
When couples separate, the only thing in the parents and the Courts minds should be the welfare of the children.
Unfortunately, the children are used as weapons.
This type of incident WILL happen again.
And it wont be the fault of the lone parent.
Both parents, the families and our Legal system IS to blame.
Support not blame.
For the sake of the children.

Anchor Care(?) Homes.
Taken from last weeks Daily Mail.
A public sector housing boss has secured an earnings package worth almost £1,000 a day.
John Belcher, whose organisation runs subsidised homes for the elderly, received taxpayer-funded salary and perks worth more than £360,000 last year.
Dr Belcher, 61, chief executive of the Anchor Trust, has more than doubled the value of his pay package over seven years.
Canadian-born Dr Belcher also serves on the Audit Commission, the public spending watchdog.
Last year he earned £327,000, including a £72,000 bonus and a car allowance of £15,000. He also received £1,000 in medical insurance and £32,880 in pension contributions, bringing the total to £360,880.
The TaxPayers' Alliance said it was 'outrageous', while the Housing Corporation, which regulates housing associations, warned that 'salary increases should be proportionate'.
The pay of housing association chiefs shot up after the organisations expanded when councils hived off their housing estates to independent associations, which are often run by former town hall officials.
They are due for a further boost of £400million over the next few months under Gordon Brown's plans to build more social housing to ease the impact of the credit crunch.
Anchor Trust, provides housing for 50,000 elderly people. It runs care homes and sells sheltered housing but its biggest operation is as a landlord of subsidised housing.
John Belcher earns nearly twice the £189,994 earned by Prime Minister Gordon Brown
It receives £600million in housing grants from the Treasury.
Dianne Jeffrey, its outgoing chairman, said it was 'more complex' than a traditional association and was competing with the private sector.
She added: 'We demand a high level of leadership, professionalism and commitment of our chief executive. The salary and bonus reflect that.
The panel that decided Dr Belcher's pay was headed by Mrs Jeffrey, her successor Aman Dalvi, who is a housing association chief, another housing association boss and a construction industry representative.
She said they had 'an appropriate mix of skills and experience'.
But Matthew Sinclair, of the Tax-Payers' Alliance, said: 'When taxpayers who foot the bill are facing hard times, it is outrageous that an official at a housing association has obtained such an extravagant salary.
The news of Dr Belcher's pay comes amid growing concern about the salaries of council chiefs.
Eight town hall bosses are paid more than £200,000. Andrea Hill, chief executive of Suffolk County Council, says she deserves £220,000 a year because her job is 'high risk'.

What Next For The Economy ?
Nothing.
A few City boys and girls will move offices is all.
Some may turn from the greed driven trade and do charity work.
But most will return and in a year, maybe two, all will be as it was.
Or will it ?
America's Banking System has all but collapsed.
The UK and European Banks are teetering on the edge.
Governments having to step in and buy out the major Finance Institutions, just to try and stop the rot.
Its not looking good.
Worse, the Governments have borrowed the money from same Financial Institutions and been charged interest on the loans.
Higher taxes for us.
More profit for them.
The last time major finance institutions went bust was the Great Depression, in the 20's.
That led to the rise of Fascism.
That led to a World War.

Its A land Grab.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac taken over by the US Government.
The two companies combined accounts total more than $4 trillion.
They hold the mortgages of HALF the homes in the USA.
And they collapsed.
No damaging boardroom battles here, though.
Nationalisation, and by a right wing American Government at that.
The US Treasury said, "Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are so large and interwoven in our financial system that a failure of either of them would cause turmoil in financial markets, here and around the globe."
Halifax, the Uk's largest mortgage lender, has major financial dealings with both companies.
Both the US and UK economies are teetering on the brink.
Credit crunch.
Recession.
Downturn in the economy.
BLAH BLAH.
The rich get richer !
The US Government ARE the rich.
Governing FOR the rich.
They own the commanding heights of the economy
and now 50% of American homes.

Terrorism Or False Flag ?
Looking back over the last four years has been confusing.
For the first week after the bombings, the media repeated similar soundbites we had heard after 9 11.
'Muslim Terrorists' was the phrase I heard and saw used in the media, like a mantra.
Then, the Government stated their intention to increase the UK's Military presence in Iraq.
I feared for London, where I lived and worked.
Surely, this would lead to increased and more severe attacks ?
7 7 and 9 11 especially, seemed highly professional, ruthless and clinical.
Brilliant in simplicity and audacity.
How could just a handful of men/women inflict such a deadly toll in the capital Cities of the USA and UK ?
A willingness to sacrifice themselves for the positive outcome of their mission.
No thought of failure, no risk of capture.
Just bloody mayhem.
Coalition Forces struck back hard.
We fired more Missiles.
We killed even greater numbers of Taliban and Iraqi insurgents.
We had so much success President Bush declared an end of the war.
The Worlds Media followed and we were shown the destroyed Hospitals, Schools and Temples.
Ordinary people, no weapons nor desire to kill, homeless because of an off target missile.
Their villages razed to the ground because of the (mis)information about WMD.
The Governments of the West expected more attacks in revenge - and they came.
Several car bombs in London failed to go off.
Two bombs planted in Central London that were within seconds of detonation, but defused by Police arriving with only seconds to spare.
The devices were crude, cheap.
Then there was the attack on the Airport.
A 4X4 rammed the entrance and the driver comically set fire to himself.
There have been similar incidents in the USA.
7 7 was used by Blair to validate Bush's continuing occupation of Iraq and commit more of our troops in a War that, even he, believed wrong from the start.
Blair had supported action against those responsible for 9 11.
But balked when he realised that Bush and the Neo Cons were going into Iraq.
Was 7 7 a 'false flag' incident that pulled British citizens, by the nose, into an Illegal War ?
There are so many details that dont make sense.
The "Security Exercise" taking place at the same time, organised by VISOR CONSULTANTS, involving Bombs in the EXACT locations, at the EXACT time.
For an event to be used in the political way that 7 7 has. (An Illegal Invasion Of Another Country)
There should be no doubt !
Release ALL the evidence.

Terry Fields. A Working Class Hero.
Terry Fields died at the weekend, aged 71.
I met Terry when he was a Labour MP for Liverpool back in the 80's.
A committed Socialist and Trade Unionist, Terry was also a supporter of the Militant Tendency.
He stood on a platform for radical change that included Nationalising the Banks, a 35 hour week and a minimum wage.
When Terry won the Liverpool vote he gave money to the Labour and Trade Union movement, urging worker's MPs on worker's wages.
Realising that Leadership can get isolated and comforted against the burdens of ordinary people, he advocated ALL Labour MPs should do the same.
Only Tony Mulhearn, another Liverpool MP supported Terry back then.
Fly High, Terry.

20, Lancaster Place, Twickenham.
On my way back from spending the weekend at my friends, I popped round to my ex mother-in-law's house.
I visit the area to remind me of happier times.
Not to visit her.
My disappointment with Marion Wills is too deep for that.
Lancaster Place will always be an area where I spent happy times with my daughter, Grace.
I am grateful that I will always have those memories.
When Marion sees or hears my motorcycle, the only memories that she and the rest of the family has is of THEIR lies and deceit.

Police Dress As Monks.
Just received this photo of Chinese Police preparing to dress as Monks and join a Free Tibet demonstration.
Free Tibet.
Boycott the Olympic Games.
Our Care Field ?
Yet again, a Nurse is threatened with discipline after highlighting bad practices in our Health and Caring system.
She wore a secret camera and filmed incidents that included force feeding a patient and poor hygiene in Ealing Hospital, West london.
Instead of praising the whistleblowing Care Assistant and taking action against the Nurses and Management, the Health Authority reported her to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
Nomaizwe Ndebelel, is charged with having failed to protect the interests and dignity of her patients.
Two of the Nurses exposed by Channel Four's Dispatches were also investigated by the NMC but no action was taken.
Abuse, poor hygiene and a lack of care is rife in our Hospitals and Care(!) Homes across the country.
When Nurses and Care Assistants report incidents, Management either silence or sack them.
NOTHING ever changes.
Why do we accept this ?
Why dont we change things ?
Because the system does not work.
Lets change the system.

Grace
Today has been hard for me.
Spending the weekend isolated has exhausted me.
Though, better than exhausting others, I guess.
Saturday was spent weeping.
Sunday I seethed.
Today at work I remained mostly dazed and unconcious.
Excitement and expectation has been replaced by disappointment.
I know how poisonous Adam Fairclough and Alison Gelfand can be.
But, I expected Grace to want to know the whole story.
Grace, I am worried for you.
Your mother's love for you calmed me.
Two families later, in a Boarding School half the world away, I feel fear.
Talk to me.
You have all the power.
You can lose nothing by contacting me.
Maybe a parent to gain ?
Love and Light be with you, always x

Palestinian Activist Riad Hamad. Dead In Austin, Texas,
After police fished the body of Riad Hamad out of Lady Bird Lake in East Austin, Texas, they told the media the non-violent Palestinian activist and directing coordinator of the Palestine Children’s Welfare Fund had committed suicide.
“Right now, the indications are that this was not, there was not foul play involved,” police Sgt. Joseph Chacon told KXAN, never mind Mr. Hamad was found bound with duct tape. “Parkgoers who saw the body said the death did not look accidental. They said the man’s face was wrapped with duct tape, and his arms appeared to be tied in front of his body.” KXAN did not bother to explain how Hamad managed to wrap himself in duct tape.
It should be obvious Hamad had a bit of help, although it is apparently too much to expect the corporate media to point out the absurdity of the police explanation. “When the body was removed from the lake, tape was found around the eyes, and the hands and legs were loosely bound,” the Austin police’s public information office expects us to believe. “The bindings of his hands and legs and placement of the tape were consistent with Hamad having done this to himself. Detectives know that Hamad walked from his vehicle to the water on his own based on evidence retrieved from the scene.” Again, no explanation how Mr. Hamad did this or more to the point why a person supposedly interested in suicide would wrap himself in duct tape, loosely or otherwise.
Hamad was not your garden variety suicide, however. “Riad Hamad is a non-violent activist in Austin, Texas. He holds multiple Master’s degrees and has never been arrested. He is now under surveillance by the FBI because he organized the shipment of books to Palestinian children,” Free Speech TV noted before the teacher’s alleged suicide.
“The FBI has on a number of occasions conducted surveillance on Riad Hamad. His neighbors have been interviewed, his co-workers have been questioned, and packages he has sent have been opened,” admits Joe Kaufman, writing for the Scaife funded website, FrontPageMag, run by David Horowitz, a notorious neocon.
Hamad’s crime? He had a problem with Israel killing Palestinians and had shipped books to children.
On Christmas, 2006, Hamad described his crimes, so outrageous for the likes of pro-Israel neocons. He describes a trip to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s T. Don Hutto detention center in Taylor, Texas, where he talked to an incarcerated Muslim woman and “provided her with cash for phone calls and snacks for the children since the jail officials are providing them with mainly pork and ham that they do not eat,” obviously a treasonous act demonstrating his collaboration with terrorists, including Adel Suleiman, a man with a case of severe diabetes who disappeared in the “detention center” dungeons situated in Haskell, Texas, and Oklahoma.
Back in February, the FBI and IRS raided Hamad’s Palestine Children’s Welfare Fund. “We had a very unpleasant visit from the FBI and IRS agents yesterday morning and they walked out with more than 40 boxes of tax returns, forms, documents, books, flags, cds etc.,” Hamad explained in an email to Hajja Romi. “The special agent said that they have a probable cause for money laundering, wire fraud, bank fraud, etc and I think that all of it stems from more than 35 years of watching me.”
“On the morning of Wednesday, Feb. 27, award-winning schoolteacher Riad Hamad, founder of the Palestine Children’s Welfare Fund (PCWF) was getting ready to leave for work when the doorbell rang in his modest apartment in Austin, Texas. It was a dozen FBI and IRS agents bearing a search warrant from Judge Robert Pittman, known for his hostility to Palestinians and Arabs, with whom Riad had had previous experience,” explains a post on the Progressive Independent forum.
For most of the day, the agents searched every nook and cranny of the apartment, then left with more than forty boxes of papers, files, computers and CDs. No charges were filed at the time against Riad and he was not arrested, but the investigators said they had probable cause to investigate wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering.
PCWF thus joins the Middle East Children’s Alliance, Kinder USA and Holy Land Foundation — all dedicated to helping Palestinian children as a major part of their work — as objects of investigations that have damaged the functioning of their mission. In no case were these organizations found guilty of wrongdoing, and at most some people with Kinder USA were pressured into minor pleas in order to avoid costly court proceedings.
It is not a coincidence that Riad and PCWF have been targeted. PCWF has been associated with all these organizations, and it is reasonable to assume that when investigations turned up nothing there, they used the references to PCWF to go fishing. Riad has been expecting this for 37 years but refuses to be intimidated, and insists upon exercising his full right to defend Palestinian rights — and his own — in America.
Is it possible Riad Hamad was targeted for suicide as well, sort of the same way prize-winning American investigative journalist Gary Webb committed suicide with multiple gunshots to the head? Webb investigated Nicaraguans linked to the CIA-backed Contras who had smuggled cocaine into the U.S. which was then distributed as crack cocaine into Los Angeles. Gary had to go, as he had yet another book on tap before he killed himself over a stolen motorcycle. Riad had to go too, as he was a thorn in the side of the neocons, the FBI, ICE, and the IRS.
Finally, it should be remembered that back in 2003, Israel declared its intention to embark “upon a more aggressive approach to the war on terror that will include staging targeted killings in the United States and other friendly countries,” according to United Press International. “The Israeli statements were confirmed by more than a half dozen U.S. foreign policy and intelligence officials in interviews with UPI. Israeli hit teams, which consist of units or squadrons of the Kidon, a sub-unit for Mossad’s highly secret Metsada department, would stage the operations, former Israeli intelligence sources said. Kidon is a Hebrew word meaning ‘bayonet,’ one former Israeli intelligence source said.”
Is it possible a neocon hit team or as likely a Mossad “bayonet” team took out the school teacher Riad Hamad?
Certainly, it makes more sense than the lame claim that Mr. Hamad wrapped himself up in duct tape and threw himself in Lady Bird Lake.
“Right now, the indications are that this was not, there was not foul play involved,” police Sgt. Joseph Chacon told KXAN, never mind Mr. Hamad was found bound with duct tape. “Parkgoers who saw the body said the death did not look accidental. They said the man’s face was wrapped with duct tape, and his arms appeared to be tied in front of his body.” KXAN did not bother to explain how Hamad managed to wrap himself in duct tape.
It should be obvious Hamad had a bit of help, although it is apparently too much to expect the corporate media to point out the absurdity of the police explanation. “When the body was removed from the lake, tape was found around the eyes, and the hands and legs were loosely bound,” the Austin police’s public information office expects us to believe. “The bindings of his hands and legs and placement of the tape were consistent with Hamad having done this to himself. Detectives know that Hamad walked from his vehicle to the water on his own based on evidence retrieved from the scene.” Again, no explanation how Mr. Hamad did this or more to the point why a person supposedly interested in suicide would wrap himself in duct tape, loosely or otherwise.
Hamad was not your garden variety suicide, however. “Riad Hamad is a non-violent activist in Austin, Texas. He holds multiple Master’s degrees and has never been arrested. He is now under surveillance by the FBI because he organized the shipment of books to Palestinian children,” Free Speech TV noted before the teacher’s alleged suicide.
“The FBI has on a number of occasions conducted surveillance on Riad Hamad. His neighbors have been interviewed, his co-workers have been questioned, and packages he has sent have been opened,” admits Joe Kaufman, writing for the Scaife funded website, FrontPageMag, run by David Horowitz, a notorious neocon.
Hamad’s crime? He had a problem with Israel killing Palestinians and had shipped books to children.
On Christmas, 2006, Hamad described his crimes, so outrageous for the likes of pro-Israel neocons. He describes a trip to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s T. Don Hutto detention center in Taylor, Texas, where he talked to an incarcerated Muslim woman and “provided her with cash for phone calls and snacks for the children since the jail officials are providing them with mainly pork and ham that they do not eat,” obviously a treasonous act demonstrating his collaboration with terrorists, including Adel Suleiman, a man with a case of severe diabetes who disappeared in the “detention center” dungeons situated in Haskell, Texas, and Oklahoma.
Back in February, the FBI and IRS raided Hamad’s Palestine Children’s Welfare Fund. “We had a very unpleasant visit from the FBI and IRS agents yesterday morning and they walked out with more than 40 boxes of tax returns, forms, documents, books, flags, cds etc.,” Hamad explained in an email to Hajja Romi. “The special agent said that they have a probable cause for money laundering, wire fraud, bank fraud, etc and I think that all of it stems from more than 35 years of watching me.”
“On the morning of Wednesday, Feb. 27, award-winning schoolteacher Riad Hamad, founder of the Palestine Children’s Welfare Fund (PCWF) was getting ready to leave for work when the doorbell rang in his modest apartment in Austin, Texas. It was a dozen FBI and IRS agents bearing a search warrant from Judge Robert Pittman, known for his hostility to Palestinians and Arabs, with whom Riad had had previous experience,” explains a post on the Progressive Independent forum.
For most of the day, the agents searched every nook and cranny of the apartment, then left with more than forty boxes of papers, files, computers and CDs. No charges were filed at the time against Riad and he was not arrested, but the investigators said they had probable cause to investigate wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering.
PCWF thus joins the Middle East Children’s Alliance, Kinder USA and Holy Land Foundation — all dedicated to helping Palestinian children as a major part of their work — as objects of investigations that have damaged the functioning of their mission. In no case were these organizations found guilty of wrongdoing, and at most some people with Kinder USA were pressured into minor pleas in order to avoid costly court proceedings.
It is not a coincidence that Riad and PCWF have been targeted. PCWF has been associated with all these organizations, and it is reasonable to assume that when investigations turned up nothing there, they used the references to PCWF to go fishing. Riad has been expecting this for 37 years but refuses to be intimidated, and insists upon exercising his full right to defend Palestinian rights — and his own — in America.
Is it possible Riad Hamad was targeted for suicide as well, sort of the same way prize-winning American investigative journalist Gary Webb committed suicide with multiple gunshots to the head? Webb investigated Nicaraguans linked to the CIA-backed Contras who had smuggled cocaine into the U.S. which was then distributed as crack cocaine into Los Angeles. Gary had to go, as he had yet another book on tap before he killed himself over a stolen motorcycle. Riad had to go too, as he was a thorn in the side of the neocons, the FBI, ICE, and the IRS.
Finally, it should be remembered that back in 2003, Israel declared its intention to embark “upon a more aggressive approach to the war on terror that will include staging targeted killings in the United States and other friendly countries,” according to United Press International. “The Israeli statements were confirmed by more than a half dozen U.S. foreign policy and intelligence officials in interviews with UPI.

The Darkness In Merrick, New York.
Ooh, I have noticed a serious tone creeping into my blogging, recently.
The short and not sweet email communication with the Witch of Merrick, New York, Alison Gelfand, is the cause and my mood changes today.
Yahoo.
So, on with the mundane.
Life in London is good.
The weather is amazing.
Snow one minute, summer heat the next.
Car drivers still get in my way, but eh ?
Too many traffic lights on red when I come up to them.
And the ladies are beginning to wear less - yahoo.

Not Government But Corparation.
Mock exercises on 9/11 which simulate Aeroplanes being flown into Skyscrapers in New York, causing NORAD to stand down leaving the Country defenceless.
The exact scenario, with bombs being detonated on the London Underground and a bus, being managed by Visor Consultants, on 7/7.
Is someone taking the piss ?
The answer is YES.
And the bastards have got away with it.
The result - Two wars.
200,000 deaths.
Poverty and Violence affecting Millions.
WHY ??
So Bush and Blair look good.
Massive profits for the Multinational Companies who now own the USA and UK.
Another step nearer the one World Order the Neo Cons crave.
Wake Up and smell the coffee.

Who Was Shot At Canary Wharf ?
Thinking about the bombings of 7/7, who was shot by police marksmen at Canary Wharf, that same day ?
Reports I have read differ.
One man shot but in three possible locations.
Three men shot in one place.
Can anyone shed any light ?

Offering Friendhip To The Devil
It has been four days since I responded to Alison Gelfand's email, offering an end to dispute and help for my daughter, Grace.
There has been no reply from her.
It saddens me to think that the other members of the family in New York are supporting a woman with no love in her heart.
Where is your voice, Toby Gelfand, of Merrick, New York ?
Or yours, Nikki Gelfand, of Merrick, New York ?
Where, too, the voice of Lou Gelfand ?
You are NOT caring for my daughter by sending her away to Boarding School.
Can you not deal with a young teenager, whose problems are ones you have heaped upon her by your actions.
We call it Child Abuse in the UK.
Are you all too busy helping daddy build his vet practice in New York ?
All Creatures.
An apt name for the family, methinks.
May God grant you ALL you deserve.

Letter To Siabreen.
Dear Siabreen,
Im writing this as I had no opportunity to express myself before you left.
For over 8 years, we were a loving, powerful partnership.
With you, I experienced true emotion, for the first time in my life.
It was you that helped me come back to myself and, for that, I will be eternally grateful.
We produced Grace, a miraculous event and a miraculous child.
You and I together.
Thank You.
Our relationship was many thing, but never dull.
Towards the end it became too painful to be around you.
The final straw was when you broke your oath to Zelda West Meeds, our Relate Counsellor.
But the end of our relationship need not have meant the end of us as a family.
We could have survived as people and parents, even though apart.
You must have known that.
I wonder if you knew how much your keeping me from Grace hurt(s).
Even now, I doubt if causing me pain was your goal, so what the hell was it ?
(There will be no answer now.)
Thank You for being in my life.
Thank You for allowing me into yours.
I FORGIVE you completely and you are FREE.
Love and Light be with you wherever you are.

Any Time Now.
I am still awake worrying about my eldest daughter, Leona.
She is overdue giving birth to her son.
The midwife gave her a 'sweep' last night, in the hope of moving things along.
She told me she is scared and asked for Angels to be with her.
I ask for them, too.
Hopefully, she will be asleep now, resting.
(I am remembering Leona's birth now and my own fear for my x wife.)
Such an amazing, scary, wonderful, exhausting experience having a child.
Be not afraid, my daughter.
Trust the process and relax.

Doreen Norton 1922 - 2007.
Posted: 22:30 Monday, February 18 2008
Doreen Norton, who died on December 30th, 2007, was a true pioneer in nursing for the Elderly.
It is she, who effectively changed nursing practice and eliminated 'bedsores' from the wards.
Concentrating on moving patients rather than washing them, she noted the condition did not occur.
Doreen, was also responsible for designing the Kings Fund bed, the adjustable bed used in all hospital wards.
She became a Social Worker and also wrote books on Geriatric care.
In 1982, she retired but continued to advocate change through Speeches and Talks all over the World.
Bless you, Doreen.

Thoughts On Forgiveness.
To forgive is divine - we are told.
Resentment and hatred leads to heartache and dis-ease.
Yet, how can we set aside the pain that others cause ?
Or, just as importantly, forgive OUR own selfish, greedy actions from the past ?
It is as difficult, or as easy, as we make it.
Looking back at my own troubles, it is clear that I enjoyed feeling miserable, or, at least, comfortable with my angst.
When things didnt run smooth, I could whine 'bigger boys' and blame others.
No-one to blame ?
Then I could whine 'poor me' and play the hapless 'victim'.
In all cases, I did not accept RESPONSIBILITY.
It is I and I alone who is responsible for my desires, deeds and emotions.
No-one else.
Two thirds of my life was spent making mistakes;
unconscious actions, without thought or regard.
I choose differently nowadays.
My deeds, even the majority of my words are chosen carefully.
I respect ALL and choose to offend NONE.
I am content with my self.
Only possible, by no longer beating myself up and FORGIVING my past.
Yes, it took time.
Time to understand, that if my actions in life caused no pain - I would feel no personal pain.
Simple.
Learning how to FORGIVE myself, however, was far easier than to FORGIVE others.
To FORGIVE others who have done wrong against Us, or the world does NOT mean that we forget.
Nor does it mean we have to welcome them back into our lives and hearts.
If people have hurt Us, for no other reason than because they can, they WILL suffer.
Their future guilt/karma begins to manifest as soon as we FORGIVE them.
When we FORGIVE we remove the Darkness that others have wanted for us.
They remain Dark while we step back into the Light.
So I believe.

Are Local Authorities Breaking The law ?
On my way in to work this morning, I along with dozens of others, was held up by a flat bed driver, parked in the middle of the road, while lifting a car that had parked on double yellow lines, in Westminster.
Now I hate cars and their drivers. Nice as pie outside of their vehicles. Behind the steering wheel, they become blind, ignorant and demonic.
Their drive like idiots and park anywhere they like - even if its the middle of the road.
To my point.
The car being lifted was parked illegally. But not causing an obstruction.
Why lift it and cause massive inconvenience to others ??
Why not just clamp it ?
is it because of the massive amount of money involved ?
Eighty pounds to get them to unclamp your car.
Two Hundred and Fifty pounds to retrieve it from the Police Pound.
It is illegal to obstruct the Highway as this removal vehicle did.
A criminal act to deal with a civil matter.
Enforcing the Law.
I dont think so.
More like Highway Robbery.

Saudi Arabia Is The Main Threat.
Saudi Arabia.
They claim to be working with the West against Terrorism.
Yet, their information is unreliable or comes just too late to stop an atrocity.
Looking at some of the suspects in recent attacks, there is always a Saudi connection.
Bin Laden, now dead of Liver cancer, a Saudi national.
Money made on the Stock Market before the 9 11 and 7 7 attacks is linked with Banks in Saudi.
Billions has been made in business deals involving the rich elite.
A recent investigation into alleged corruption and bribery in WMD deals between the Saudi Government and British WMD industry was halted at the Saudi's insistence.
They threatened to withdraw 'intelligence' from the War on Terror, if the inquiry went ahead.
Their Royal Family profess to Love the West.
But, in truth, hate us.
The 'educational' literature they produce for Muslim children is inflammatory, racist and banned in the UK.
Afghanistan and Iraq had the finger pointed at them, as the nations that harbour terrorists, by whom ?

Those Who Jump Red Lights.
On my way home, last night, I was forced to brake sharply to avoid crashing into a Sainsbury's delivery van, which had driven through a Red Light
The driver pulled over in the next street, so I asked him how dangerous he thought his actions were.
He didnt look at me, but replied that he 'was going to fast to stop'.
I lost my temper, swore at him and drove off.
What I should have asked was what if it had been a small child crossing the road ??

Korey Rowe arrested in NY
Korey Rowe, producer of the film, Loose change, has been arrested and handed over to USA Military Police, for 'deserting the army'.
A Military warrant was used by Cops in New York, on Monday.
The arrest comes just as Rowe puts the final touches to Loose Change 2, preparing for the 'big screen' debut of the film.
Korey Rowe, served in Afghanistan and Iraq, before deserting in 05/06.
There are many desertions from the US forces, increasing year on year, with the continuing presence in the Middle East.
The Authorities rarely take Legal action'
Last year, they only Court-Martialed 5% of the number they caught.
Is Korey Rowe's arrest Politically Motivated ?
It appears so.

The Third Anniversay of Siabreen's Death.
Yesterday was the third anniversary of my ex partners death.
It was the first time that I felt neither pain nor anger at her passing.
My thoughts were for my daughter, Grace.
Both parents taken from her by the stupid, selfish actions of Professor Adam Fairclough of Leiden University and his sister, Alison Gelfand, of Merrick, New York.
Not forgetting the crazy, corrupt legal system that allows such betrayal of a young child.

Who planted the Bomb in the Haymarket ?
The Car Bomb, discovered in the Haymarket district of London, can only mean more pressure on the new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, to support the 'War on Terror' and introduce more laws designed to take away our Human Rights.
Knowing Brown's Socialist background may deter him from even more draconian laws, this discovery only adds weight to the NeoCon's in the UK.
Control the Masses.Control the Media.Control the Economy.
It all equates to more Profit for the Rich and more Hardship for the Poor.
So who planted the 'bomb' ?
It sickens me to think that it was my own British Security Forces.
But, knowing what my Government is capable of, who else could it be ?

US stops Kansas Farm testing for Mad Cow.
The Bush administration said Tuesday it will fight to keep meat packers from testing all their animals for mad cow disease.
A beef producer in the western state of Kansas, Creekstone Farms Premium Beef, wants to test all of its cows.
Larger meat companies opposed the safety measure fearing a cut in their own profits.
The Agriculture Department regulates the test and argued that widespread testing could lead to a 'false positive' that would harm the meat industry.
Has the US not learned the lessons of the UK beef industry ?
Or are they willing to risk the health of their citizens for the extra profits of their already fat cat meat industry ?
Watch this space !

Iraqi Trade Unionists to tour USA
Iraqi Labour Leaders are to tour the US in June of 2007,
Their message: "Troops out now. Iraq's oil belongs to the Iraqi people!"
Two leaders of Iraq's labour movement, Sister Hashmeya Muhsin Hussein, President of the Electrical Utility Workers Union, and Brother Faleh Abood Umara, General Secretary of the Federation of Oil Unions, will tour a dozen U.S. cities between June 4 and June 29, 2007.
During their visit, they will address members of Congress, labour audiences and the general public about the impact the U.S. occupation has had on the labour movement and daily lives of working people in Iraq.
They will speak about reconstruction and will explain why the labour
movement is opposed to the proposed hydrocarbon law favoured by the
Bush administration and oil corporations which would put foreign oil
corporations in effective control of 2/3 of Iraq's undeveloped oil
reserves.
They will also describe the likely consequences if the
occupation abruptly ends and prospects for a stable, democratic,
non-sectarian future for Iraq.
Please visit www.uslaboragainstwar.org to find out when they are
coming to your city. Contact Thomas Bacon with any questions at

During their visit, they will address members of Congress, labour audiences and the general public about the impact the U.S. occupation has had on the labour movement and daily lives of working people in Iraq.
They will speak about reconstruction and will explain why the labour
movement is opposed to the proposed hydrocarbon law favoured by the
Bush administration and oil corporations which would put foreign oil
corporations in effective control of 2/3 of Iraq's undeveloped oil
reserves.
They will also describe the likely consequences if the
occupation abruptly ends and prospects for a stable, democratic,
non-sectarian future for Iraq.

Killer Cop found Not Guilty ?
Car driver, Desmond Russell, jumped a red light and killed a scooter rider. The traffic light had been red for 27 seconds !!
41 year old, Desmond Russell, was doing between 54 and 66 mph when he hit the rider, in North London.
The driver claimed the accident happened after the "most stressful shift" of his career !
He had pleaded Not Guilty, but before the Jury retired to consider their verdict he changed his plea to 'Guilty of Careless Driving'.
Desmond Russell, an Acting Police Inspector, for the British Transport Police, was fined £2000 and banned from driving for three years.
Another case of NO JUSTICE in our Court system.

They are lying to us !
Wages being kept down. (unless your a fat cat in the city.)
Inflation up. (but figures are still very low.)
Unemployment on the increase.
Insolvencies breaking records every month.
Home possessions rising alarmingly.
Yet, no one mentions RECESSION.
Every small business owner I speak to reports very slow trade, especially for the time of year.
The huge increase in Gas and Electric prices hurt everybody.
(I notice that the Power companies are profiteering by not passing on the lower costs that they now pay.)
The never ending rise above the inflation rate of Council Tax.
The ever spiralling cost of fighting TWO wars in Afghanistan and Iraq is crippling the UK's economy.
The figures showing the well-being of the UK's economy are FALSE.
In London, the number of Russian Billionaires spending on Property and Business has added to the Money-go-Round.
But, not enough.
How Broke is our Country ?

Another Child killed when Israeli forces invaded the village of Mothalath south of the city of Jenin in the northern part of the West Bank.
Israeli soldiers are reported to have opened fire randomly at residents’ houses and civilians standing on the street.
Medical sources reported that Ahmad Al Assassah, 16, was hit with a live round in the head and died instantly.Two other teenagers were wounded.
Soldiers forced families out of their homes during the house to house search campaign the army conducted in the village.
They also abducted Ahmad Hussien, 26, and took him to an unknown detention camp.
This attack took place on March 29th.
When will there be PEACE ?

UK sacrifices 15 Marines in 'False Flag' incident.
Imagine, 15 Marines sent by small inflatables to board and inspect a merchant ship in dangerous waters, off Iraq and Iran.
They are supposed to have Helicopter support and HMS Cornwall in attendance.
The Cornwall had a recent refit with Radar and all early warning systems upgraded.
So what went wrong ?
HMS Cornwall was 11 miles away - too far to give assistance if needed and the Helicopter had to return for refuelling, leaving the Marines exposed.
Why the Cornwall's radar didnt pick up the Iranian boats converging on the Marines is another mystery.
Is this the excuse that the USA and UK have been looking for to go into Iran ?
Did HMS Cornwall stand by and allow the Marines to be captured ?
Why didnt the Marines defend themselves ?
Too many unanswered questions leave me wondering if the Marines were left so that Military action could escalate.
I hope Im wrong but our Governments recent history tells me otherwise.

The Killers in Uniform.
osted: 16:17 Friday, March 23 2007
Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich, a US Marine, has admitted shooting 5 unarmed, Iraqi men, in the back.
Wuterich, and 3 other Marines are charged with Murder and the killings of two dozen Iraqi men, women and children on November 19, 2005, in Haditha.
On an interview with 60 Minutes, a US News/Chat programme, Wuterich said that he regretted the deaths, BUT would do it AGAIN.
His reasons -'because he believed the men had hostile intent toward the Marines'.
I believe War achieves NOTHING. Not this War but all Wars.
What it does to the Civilians of the Country and the Soldiers is to dehumanise them. To make random acts of violence 'the norm'. Even against Women and Children.
Thought for the future...
Sgt Wuterich, his comrades and ALL involved in War will one day have to lead a 'normal' life again.
I doubt very much that they can.

Free Speech Is No More.
Another site hosting my blogs have demanded I 'pull' photographs of Palestinian children killed in the recent troubles with Israel.
The reason I posted them was because the Media ignore the Palestinian suffering.
I have watched the horror of Man's inhumanity to Man. Especially, the last few years. Brought to us by Billionaire Moguls and presented with popcorn in the safe,warm seats of our Western homes.
Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine et al.
The coverage is NOT fair and unbiased.
We are NOT being told or shown the REAL truth.
When an Israeli child is killed or injured by Palestinian bullies, the Media seem to SCREAM the news.
(And rightly so, perhaps. The death of young innocence, of any nationality, should be the spur to try a different approach)
So why, when a Palestinian child is killed or injured by Israeli bullies, is it different ?
There is little, if any coverage by the World's Media.
The photographs I have posted have not been on National TV.They have not made National newspapers.
I, myself, only posted them so they could be seen by people.
It was my way of easing my own conscience of living in a safe, free world.
I remember weeping when I got the pictures and uploaded them to my various sites.
They are OBSCENE.
And so are WE for allowing and abetting TRUTH to be censored.

1000 deaths in Ten Years
Two journalists die every week and have been for the last 10 years.
Though many are accidents, including incidents of 'friendly fire', many are MURDERED.
We have the recent deaths in Russia. An ex KGB agent turned journalist falling(!) to his death.He was investigating the murder of Anna Politkovskaya, shot while compiling evidence of Russian Government complicity in Chechen atrocities.
There is growing suspicion that the 2006 attack on a Russian school may have been a 'False Flag'. Criminals in the Russian Government organising an attack on their own people to further their interests in neighbouring countries.
In Rio, 2002, Tim Lopez, was tortured, killed and his body then set on fire, while investigating Drug and Sex rings, that included children, in the slums of the city.
No-one has been arrested for these murders.
For some, there is not even a police investigation.
Why are not members of the World Press demanding the criminals responsible be held accountable ?
World Press Freedom Day, in May, would be a great time to start.

Visiting Siabreen's Grave.
Well, nearly 3 years after Siabreen died, I found the grave.
I had been worried about my feelings and what I may do.
I didnt want to weep uncontrollably, or worse, desecrate the grave.
Siabreen had been cremated and there was only this marker.
I felt nothing !
Friday, March 02, 2007
Visiting Siabreen's grave.
On Tuesday, I discovered where my ex partner, Siabreen, is buried.
The knowledge has caused turmoil with my emotions; also with my body.
The glands of my groin are swollen and sometimes painful.
My thoughts are full of bile, then swing to our LOVE remembered.
It has been an amazing roller-coaster of rediscovered (suppressed) memories and feelings, beautiful, sad and sometimes hateful.
When she first died, I had the thought of desecrating the grave. Payback for the things she had said and done.
My anger was very strong, July 2004.
Now,it is different. I AM different.
It is my intention to visit her grave tomorrow (saturday).
I can feel the sadness welling up even now.
What will I do ?
Cry like a baby.
Shout at her and God.
My prayer is that I FORGIVE her completely
and am finally able to release her.
A conclusion to our most amazing journey together, which started 18 years ago.
Producing our daughter, Grace, as proof that fear and medical conditions need not stand in the way of dreams !

The (B)ankers at the Royal Bank of Scotland.
I have always trusted Banks.
Over the years,I have sometimes handed over more money than I actually wanted to pay in.The cashiers have always pointed out my mistake,bless them.
Just after Christmas,I had cause to pay some money into the Royal Bank of Scotland via a paying-in book.
The young man took the book,checked the details and counted the money.Something felt strange and I counted along with him.I had given him £5 too much.
I said my apologies and told him of my error.
"No.No mistake",the cashier replied. He even counted it again for me."All correct".
Luckily,the paying-in book showed only one £5 to be paid.I had given him two.
Without a word,he handed me the £5 back.
I was dismayed.It was obvious he knew and was trying it on.Twat !
My thought was-how many people like me have been conned ? I never get my money out till I get to the cashier and then fumble quickly because of the queues. I see older people struggle too.
Now,I no longer trust Banks,especially this particular Royal Bank of Scotland.

My Prime Minister-and yours-Tony Bl(ia)r
Is a criminal.
On Thursday,it transpires that the Leader of the Country,Tony Bl(ia)r was questioned by police investigating the cash for honours affair.
Bl(ia)r is the first Prime Minister to be investigated by police whilst in public office.It is reported that Bl(ia)r denied any knowledge of Peerages being offered for donations/loans to the Labour Party.
What he did do was time the police questioning to coincide with the release of the Steven's inquiry into Princess Diana's death.Thus diverting media interest away from the row that is causing considerable embaressment to himself and the Party.
While I have no axe to grind over this matter,believing that all Peerages offered by any Government is a 'Thank You' to their rich mates.It still leaves Tony Bl(ia)r isolated and deep in the shit concerning the legality of the Iraq war.
Tony Bl(ia)r began an illegal war.All the reasons he gave for going to war have proved to be false.
Why is he not being questioned for lying to the British people and the rest of the Government.
My Prime Minister-and yours-Tony Bl(ia)r is a WAR CRIMINAL.
Remove him from power so we can bring a quick end to the bloody chaos that we have created in Iraq.

Communication is the key !
These last few weeks,Ive noticed people telling me what to do.
My mother started the trend when I began to walk and both my parents continued until I was about 18.
Then they began 'advising' me.It was refreshing to discover that there were three or four 'choices' to situations.Why was I not made aware of this before,I thought. Though I never asked them because I was so happy with their new attitude towards me.
They had begun to treat me as an adult.An equal,even.Both knew I was intelligent,kind and thoughtful.(Good looking,too).
My father,bless him,taught me to look out for vunerable people;the elderly especially.I was often told to do our neighbours shopping or mow their lawn.In winter,i was expected to clear their paths of snow.
When I started work,I noticed a huge change !
There were people who liked the sound of their own voice and shouted at people.Some even shouted at me ! Manners were noticable by their abscence.It was horrible.
I thought long and hard about what to do.I didnt want to lose my job,nor did I want to work for rude people.One day,I took my manager to one side and explained how I felt.
He listened,then he told me the difficulties he had to deal with.Absenteeism,shoddy work etc.He continued to shout at my fellow workers,but not at me.Unless I deserved it and at times I did.
Later in life,I moved into the Care field.Again I faced similar issues.Made worse by the fact I was a man in a womans job !! That was said to me often.
By my getting on with things,peoples attitude changed.I introduced the word 'teamwork' into conversation and even the owners of Homes took notice.
Everything can be sorted as long as their is Communication.
Yet,few people truly communicate.They have the belief that only they are right and everyone else is wrong.Everything is black and white.Well,the major Issues that seperate people are actually many shades of gray.
We have become conditioned not to listen.We find it easy to say NO even when we havent heard the question.We need to change.
Opening our hearts and minds is the first step.The realisation that our neighbours are not enemies but possible friends is the first step.
We would benefit from remembering that WE are not always right.We do not have ALL the answers.But how are we to learn if we do not COMMUNICATE.

Bloggers Help Needed.
Bloggers are being asked to show their support for freedom of expression by Amnesty International.
The human rights group also wants web log writers to highlight the plight of fellow bloggers jailed for what they wrote in their online journals.
The organisation said fundamental rights such as free speech faced graver threats than ever before.
The campaign coincides with the start of a week-long UN-organised conference that will debate the future of the net.
Watching words
"Freedom of expression online is a right, not a privilege - but it's a right that needs defending," said Steve Ballinger of Amnesty International. "We're asking bloggers worldwide to show their solidarity with web users in countries where they can face jail just for criticising the government."
Mr Ballinger said the case of Iranian blogger Kianoosh Sanjari was just one example of the dangers that some online writers can face. Mr Sanjari was arrested in early October following his blogging about conflicts between the Iranian police and the supporters of Shia cleric Ayatollah Boroujerdi.
Amnesty wanted bloggers to publicise cases such as this, said Mr Ballinger, and to declare their backing for the right to free speech online.
The human rights group is also taking its campaign to the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) - a group set up by the UN to act as a debating body for national net policies. The first big meeting of the IGF takes place in Athens from 30 October to 2 November.
"The Internet Governance Forum needs to know that the online community is concerned about free expression online and willing to stand up for it," said Mr Ballinger.
Many governments were using technology to suppress the free flow of information among their citizens, said Mr Ballinger.
"People have been locked up just for expressing their views in an email or a website," he said. "Sites and blogs have been shut down and firewalls built to prevent access to information."
Hi-tech firms such as Yahoo and Google have been criticised for the help they have given to nations such as China which works hard to monitor online discussion.
In May 2006, Amnesty International started a campaign that aimed to expose the ways that governments use the net to quash dissent. Co-ordinated via the Irrepressible.info website, the campaign asks websites to use an icon displaying text from censored sites.
Pledges gathered from those backing this campaign will be presented at the IGF.

Orange Broadband.
Its been a bad day for Orange broadband customers,with at least 250,000 customers without an Internet connection since 4pm on Monday.
Users in Lancashire,Surrey and London had to report their problems via Internet message boards.
An Orange spokesperson said only customers who used exchange equipment installed by third parties, instead of BT, were affected.
All well and good then.
But who was it that installed the equipment that failed.
Orange themselves !
Im a believer in the Laws of Karma.
If people act badly,then bad things happen to THEM.
I believe the same thing applies to organisations.
To the Laws of Karma,I say Thank You.

The War they dont want you to know about !
n the last eight weeks,228 people been killed by Israeli forces in Palestine.
37 of them Children.
It appears that Israel,angry at the bloody nose handed to them by Lebanon,are taking their spite out on the Palestinians.
Why arent these reports reaching our TV screens and Newspapers ?
The War,or ethnic cleansing as it is really called,is indefensible.
So the story does not get told.
Israel have been trickle feeding water to Palestine for years.Now they are pulling the plug on electricity,hitting Gaza especially.
There is no doubt that Israel are targetting civilians.
Whether,by continued air strikes against palestinian villages,or by "collective punishment" through the power outages.
This is against the Geneva Convention !
Yet,this is happening NOW.
The Western world remain silent in their condemnation of Israel.
We should be SCREAMING !

Tony Bl(ia)r to go on May 31.
Ive just heard the news and I dont believe it.
Tony Bl(ia)r always had the intention of resigning from politics when he turned 50.
Well,that was 3 years ago now??
Tony Bl(ia)r has discovered,in himself,what few other people know about themselves.
A Lust for power.
Bl(ia)r was swept to power on a wave of optimism.
Remember Cool Brittania ?
He seemed so fresh after years of Tory sleaze.
The country even appeared to like him as a person.
So what went wrong ?
Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have not helped.
Though,there is little doubt that any Prime Minister would have been unable to resist the USA demands after 9/11.
Saying that,the reasons for the Iraq war have proven false,
and,as such,is an ILLEGAL war.
We are still there !
Power corrupts and though Bl(ia)r hasnt total power,
he likes it !
The next few months are crucial for the Labour Party.
I hope that Tony doesnt wreck their chances for the next election.
Imagine the horror if the Tories got in,
Bl(ia)r would be so smug !
Quit now.
Tony Bl(ia)r always had the intention of resigning from politics when he turned 50.
Well,that was 3 years ago now??
Tony Bl(ia)r has discovered,in himself,what few other people know about themselves.
A Lust for power.
Bl(ia)r was swept to power on a wave of optimism.
Remember Cool Brittania ?
He seemed so fresh after years of Tory sleaze.
The country even appeared to like him as a person.
So what went wrong ?
Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have not helped.
Though,there is little doubt that any Prime Minister would have been unable to resist the USA demands after 9/11.
Saying that,the reasons for the Iraq war have proven false,
and,as such,is an ILLEGAL war.
We are still there !

Child attacker out in 4 years !
Im sure we have all heard the story today of Jason Hope.
Hope was imprisoned for 5 years after being found guilty of robbery.He threatened his victims with a knife then stole their money to feed his drug habit.
He was moved to Sudbury Open Prison,where,one day,he decided to leave and walked out !
Jason Hope then stayed at his brother's home in Leicester while the police were unable to find him.
Three weeks after he escaped Hope attacked a 13 year old child.
Armed with a knife,he stole cash and a mobile phone.Then,he sexually assaulted the child.
Judge Christopher Metcalf,imposed a Life sentence at Leicester Crown Court.
Then he announced that Jason Hope could be considered for Parole in 4 years !?
Judge Metcalf added that it would be upto the Parole board to release him when he was considered safe.
Judging on past experiences expect Jason to be attacking people in 2010.
I despair !

Pete Docherty of the Babyshambles
Why do the police keep hounding the geezer?
He uses drugs-big deal.
He pays for them.He doesnt go round robbing and cheating to get them.
In fact,those who commit crime to get drugs are given an easier time than Docherty.
He's young,he's making money and he's shagging Kate Moss !
I,truly,cant see a problem !

My Prime Minister-and yours-Tony Bl(ia)r
I have supported the Labour Party for nearly 30 years.
In 1977, I joined the party as a member of the Labour Party Young Socialists.
I fought the NF alongside the Anti-Nazi League and Rock against Racism.
Then Maggie Thatcher became the enemy.
After seeing the closure of my town and unemployment rates as high as 30%,I became a supporter of the Militant Tendency.
The Miner's strike of 84.
I was an active supporter of the Miners,indeed any worker in struggle.
When the Miner's lost.The whole of the working class lost.
For more than a generation !
I was kicked out of the party during the last of the witch-hunts.My role as an Anti-Poll Tax campaigner 'being the last straw.'
The Liberal middle class careerist took control.
Though not allowed to be a member of the Labour Party I still support them.Urging people to vote Labour at the elections.
How could I ever cease to support the Political Party of the Working class in the UK ??
My Prime Minister is a War Criminal !
His Foreign Policy has led us into illegal Wars with two countries.
Thousands of people are dead,millions more dispersed and homeless.
Tony Blairs reasons for War are now proven to be FALSE.
Our Prime Minister is a Criminal.
My Prime Minister and Yours is a War Criminal.
3 days ago,the Israeli's arrested Palestines Deputy Prime Minister,at his home at 4.30 in the morning.
Israel crossed another country's border and kidnapped the elected Goverment official.
An Act of Terror.
The USA and the UK Goverments should be bringing Israel to account for their actions.
Yet,there is nothing !
For Thirty Years nearly I have been a supporter of the Labour Party.
Now,my Prime Minister is a War Criminal.
What are WE doing about it ?

The World ends on 12 September,2006
Yisrayl Hawkins, the well known Bible Scholar and prolific author, reports in his latest monthly newsletter http://www.yahweh.com/Newsletters/nl08-06.htm
“Nuclear War will start on September 12, 2006.” This is quite a startling statement.
In summary, the newsletter says that the war that is currently taking place between Israel and Lebanon, and inflaming the whole Middle East, will escalate to “Nuclear War starting September 12, 2006″ and lead to the fulfillment of prophecy; “a third part of mankind will be killed over a fourth part of the earth”. This, in turn, will lead to the involvement of all nations and ultimately to “four fifths of the earth’s total population being killed by October 13, 2007″.
The Newsletter, which is 16 pages long, goes on to say that this is all taking place in the last three and one-half year prophetic period that started April 13, 2004 when it was actually signed back into action by President George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon as they rekindled the stalled seven year Middle East Peace Plan. The Newsletter gives considerable history of this seven year, on again, off again, on again Middle East Peace Plan and says it has paralleled the missing week of years, spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, since it’s signing on September 13, 1993 by Rabin, Arafat and Clinton. It also says that the missing week of years in Daniel Chap. 9:24-27 is also known as the divided, severed, or cut short time. The Newsletter concludes by stating that we are now well into the last three and one-half years of both the Middle East Peace Plan and the week that Daniel prophesied and “this Nuclear War will end with a final burning blast that darkens the sun”. The Newsletter gives extremely lengthy and detailed evidence from current News Reports, and numerous quotations from the Bible, to back up and corroborate the assertions of Mr. Hawkins.
According to reports, from some who have already reviewed the August, 2006 newsletter, “all times, dates, scriptures and events can be easily verified and proven”.
They say that the conclusion is correct “we are in the last 14 months”. Commentators requested anonymity because of the subject matter.. Those close to the author of this Newsletter, state that “Mr. Yisrayl Hawkins is the only one in history to figure it out, preach it in advance for over 20 years and, at great personal risk, teach it to the whole world”. Apparently, thousands of radio, television and print media now regularly carry Yisrayl Hawkins message in addition to the HOT BIRD 613 Satellite which covers large portions of Europe, Eurasia, Asia and the Middle East.
To paraphrase one especially notable portion of the Newsletter; “do not be deceived by talk of Peace after the first Nuclear Destruction takes place. These wars will intensify in the 13 months that remain after the initial war prophesied for September 12, 2006″.
This has to be easily the most startling news story this decade. There is no doubt that the author of this Newsletter believes these events were prophesied thousands of years ago and that these events will take place as prophesied. Mr. Hawkins has fervently recommended not just reading the Newsletter, but, “actually studying it as though your life depends on it”. Mr. Hawkins may well be right. Mr. Hawkins also recommends “warning family, friends, neighbors and coworkers by sharing the newsletter”.

Enough is Enough,Professor Adam Fairclough.
View My Stats
Re Adam Fairclough.
Professor of American History at the University of East Anglia,Norwich.
Author of many books regarding the American Civil Rights Movement and a once respected family member and friend.
After chatting to many people over the last period,I have decided to heed their advice and no longer make reference to you in my blogs.
Because you have abused your position in the past and managed to 'pull' many of my blogs from the web,I have had to spread my message of Truth over many sites.
My truth is now out there.
My daughter,Grace,who you have Abused by keeping her from contacting me,will read my blogs in the near future and come to the same conclusion.
You are truly an Idiot if you think she will have respect for what you have done.Likewise,your sister,Alison Gelfand,of Merrick,New York.
Grace will not be proud of your 'family' tactics.
You have acted in a way that is truly Devilish by any sane persons thinking.
Spiteful,Thoughtless and Mean Spirited.
You have Lied and committed Perjury in the UK Courts and to the USA Immigration.
I now leave you to God's Judgement.
As HE judged Siabreen.
I,now Forgive you.
But God will surely condemn you !
How to Kill people and get away with it !
A security guard,Robert Harris,47,of Abergele,North Wales,killed FOUR cyclists and got away with a £180 fine and 6 penalty points on his licence.
The youngest cyclist was only 14.
Llandudno magistrates imposed the paltry fine for Harris driving with 3 defective tyres at the time of the accident.
Robert Harris didn't even have to turn up at the Court.Instead he pleaded guilty by letter !
What Planet am I living on ??!

In Praise of Siabreen !
I have probably Hated Siabreen for longer than I Loved her.
Yet,today,I remembered instances of Love.
(I would like to be able to think of her that way,all the time.)
Siabreen was a kind,gentle soul,who would do anything for anybody.
She was very supportive to her brother,Adam,when he had a yeast problem following his divorce from his first wife.
Even though,Adam thought that Siabreen was an idiot,refusing to call her by her new name and generally abusing her when he was drunk.
Siabreen and I,allowed him to stay in our house in Welshpool,while he dried out.
Oh the times I had to bite my tongue,when he reared on her!
When Alison became pregnant,Siabreen got on a plane and put her life on hold,so she could support her sister.
Where were you,Alison,when Siabreen and I suffered several miscarriages ?
Oh yes.Too busy playing the Princess in New York with your in-laws!
Lois-only you know the depths of support Siabreen had for the family.
I remember her weeping many times when you had breast cancer.The letters and phone calls that went on long into the night.
She loved you greatly.
Marion,the mother she worshipped.
Even returning to London to support you in your retirement.
What memories did Siabreen have of you and her childhood years?
The cries of Plain Jane ringing in her ears.
Shame !

To Marion - Siabreen's Mother
This message is for Marion Wills,mother to Siabreen.
Can you remember being invited to Grace's NAMING,in Somerset,by Siabreen and myself ?
I asked the group to join me in reciting the Lord's Prayer.
You and your family were invited to help celebrate Siabreen's and I happiness at the birth of OUR daughter.
Such a joyful event.By the Grace of God,remember !
Have you lived upto the vows you took that day ?
Do you truly believe that Adam and Alison are acting in the best wishes of that special day ?
Help me HEAL this madness.
I will never forbid your family from Grace.
As you have forbid her from me.
I could/would never do that.
Please remember and allow me contact with my daughter.

MyModblog. Where I started blogging.
adamfairclough's ModBlog
I first met Sarah Jane Fairclough,in Gwynedd,North Wales.
She then changed her name to Siabreen.
She was bi-sexual then and I met her through my good friend,at the time, Melfyn Summers.
Melfyn was shagging one of Siabreen's ex-lovers-Ali.
Now theres a tale...!
After I left Siabreen,Melfyn rang me for the first time in about 3 years.I thought it strange but trusted him+spoke honestly about why I had left.It transpires that during our conversations he was taping me.Setting me up so it sounded really bad.
Why did you do that Melfyn??Oh yes,a threesome with Siabreen+Ali.Cheap really as I was one of the people who picked you up after you killed your wife in a car crash.One call from him lasted 3 hours!!I remember saying yes to you because I was tired+hurting and pissed off.You knew she was violent yet you supported her in keeping me from Grace.WANKER.
Melfyn Summers.
Of everyone involved in this bloody mess,I have felt more contempt for you,than anyone else.
I now Forgive you,completly.And I am free.

Its two years since Siabreen died.
Im still waiting for the Fairclough's to contact me with news of my daughter, Grace.
Yes, they have lost a sister.
They have and still are, conspiring so I lose a daughter !
My thoughts of Siabreen are not ones I would like to have right now.
The pain I feel does not allow for sympathy.
Nor even Love.
Yet, I am truly glad I no longer hate.
That is a start in my healing around this issue.
Soon, I know, I will be able to think of Siabreen fondly.
That includes you, Adam and Alison.
When are you going to start the healing process ?

Father's Day
Yet another year without a card or news from Grace.
Adam Fairclough and Alison Gelfand have probably refused to give Grace my contact details.
How sad is that ?

If Alison Gelfand
and Adam Fairclough,want Grace to be a member of their family,
then surely,they must include her father.
How can you have one and not the other ?

Today, I was asked if I was glad Siabreen had died.
My first thought, Im ashamed to say, was Yes.
Only for a moment.
Then, I remembered my Lover and Friend of 8 years.
The Mother of my Daughter, Grace.
The Stepmom to my Daughter, Leona.
Siabreen and I had been communicating.
Grace and I had been communicating.
The Nightmare was coming to an End.
The Fairclough and Gelfand families put a stop to that.
For Grace, not only did she lose her Mother,
but she lost her Father all over again.
Would one of the family please contact me !
It is never too late to Heal this situation.

My Stolen Child
It is unbelievable that in a so-called civilised society,children are kept from their parents.
I have broken no law,commited no crime,yet am kept from my daughter.
Even more distressing for my child,that her mother,Siabreen,died.
Still,I am kept from Grace.
Do you,Adam Fairclough,or you,Alison Gelfand,realise the pain and distress you have caused both Grace and I.
It is like my daughter has died,yet I have not a Funeral or Grave for conclusion.
I pray that nothing happens to your children.No one should have to endure the pain that you are causing.

Death is never far away.
My friends father died yesterday.(saturday).
I took a phone call,from a member of the family,on friday,saying he was ill.
My friend had issues with his father so there was no direct or quick communication.
Such a shame.
I pray that Grace is able to meet her father soon.

Any students from UEA,Norwich in the house??
I am in need of help.
Prof Adam Fairclough,who teaches American Studies,at the UEA,Norwich
refuses me contact with my daughter.
He has manipulated the Courts and Legal System in this country and the USA,
in order to ship her out of the country when it suits him.
When Grace's mom,my ex partner died,nearly 2 years ago now,
Adam lied to me and my daughter.
Instead of uniting a grieving 10 year old with her father,
he took it upon himself to keep us apart.
I was a member of his family for 8 years,
until Siabreen hit me one last time.
When I left an abusive relationship,he decided to support the Abuser !
Please can this issue be raised with the Students Union at Norwich ?
Can any one help by putting pressure on Adam Fairclough or the other Lecturers
at the University ?
I would also like some information about my daughters health ?
She is staying in Colchester with Prof Fairclough.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you

This blog is intended for Grace
Finally,the Truth
It is my wish that Grace stumbles upon this blog
and uses it to contact me.
The Fairclough family have used Lies and the Law to keep Grace and I apart.
What have either of us done to deserve this !
This blog is my only way of addressing the 'fairytale',that Grace has been told.
Whatever you have been told Grace,remember:
There are two sides to every story.

Adam Fairclough UEA Norwich
Perjury and interfering with the Royal Mail is a criminal offence,Adam.
You could go to jail.
Allow Grace to see her Father.
You know its the right thing to do.
