Mother: Boy slapped on plane is now apprehensive – by Joe Hundley – February 16, 2013, 10:31 PM (WCCO/Kootenai County Sheriff)
MINNEAPOLIS A Minneapolis woman says her 2-year-old son was traumatized by a man accused of slapping the boy and calling him a racial slur during an Atlanta-bound flight.
The boy’s mother, Jessica Bennett, said in a statement Saturday that her son has become “apprehensive to strangers” since the Feb. 8 flight from Minneapolis.
Joe Rickey Hundley, of Hayden, Idaho, has been charged with simple assault. His attorney said he will plead not guilty.
Bennett, 33, told authorities her son was crying as the Delta Air Lines flight prepared for landing. Hundley, 60, was sitting next to her and slapped the boy in his face, causing a scratch under his right eye, she said.
Hundley “told her to shut that (N-word) baby up,” FBI special agent Daron Cheney said in a sworn statement. “Ms. Bennett received assistance from several people on the plane.”
Bennett said the infant began crying louder after he was hit.
“Hundley’s comments were racist and hateful,” Bennett said in a statement to KARE-TV. “The family has numerous questions about how a passenger could get so violently out of control as to assault a toddler.”
Hundley was suspended from his job as president of Unitech Composites and Structures, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Al Haase, president and chief executive of AGC Aerospace and Defense, Composites Group — Unitech’s parent company — said the firm was taking the matter seriously.
“In accordance with our company’s personal conduct policy, we have suspended the employee pending investigation,” Haase said in a statement.

How Google Retooled Android With Help From Your Brain – by Robert McMillan – 02.18.13
When Google built the latest version of its Android mobile operating system, the web giant made some big changes to the way the OS interprets your voice commands. It installed a voice recognition system based on what’s called a neural network — a computerized learning system that behaves much like the human brain.
For many users, says Vincent Vanhoucke, a Google research scientist who helped steer the effort, the results were dramatic. “It kind of came as a surprise that we could do so much better by just changing the model,” he says.
Vanhoucke says that the voice error rate with the new version of Android — known as Jelly Bean — is about 25 percent lower than previous versions of the software, and that this is making people more comfortable with voice commands. Today, he says, users tend to use more natural language when speaking to the phone. In other words, they act less like they’re talking to a robot. “It really is changing the way that people behave.”
It’s just one example of the way neural network algorithms are changing the way our technology works — and they way we use it. This field of study had cooled for many years, after spending the 1980s as one of the hottest areas of research, but now it’s back, with Microsoft and IBM joining Google in exploring some very real applications.
When you talk to Android’s voice recognition software, the spectrogram of what you’ve said is chopped up and sent to eight different computers housed in Google’s vast worldwide army of servers. It’s then processed, using the neural network models built by Vanhoucke and his team. Google happens to be very good at breaking up big computing jobs like this and processing them very quickly, and to figure out how to do this, Google turned to Jeff Dean and his team of engineers, a group that’s better known for reinventing the way the modern data center works.
Neural networks give researchers like Vanhoucke a way analyzing lots and lots of patterns — in Jelly Bean’s case, spectrograms of the spoken word — and then predicting what a brand new pattern might represent. The metaphor springs from biology, where neurons in the body form networks with other cells that allow them to process signals in specialized ways. In the kind of neural network that Jelly Bean uses, Google might build up several models of how language works — one for English language voice search requests, for example — by analyzing vast swaths of real-world data.
“People have believed for a long, long time — partly based on what you see in the brain — that to get a good perceptual system you use multiple layers of features,” says Geoffrey Hinton, a computer science professor at the University of Toronto. “But the question is how can you learn these efficiently.”
Android takes a picture of the voice command and Google processes it using its neural network model to figure out what’s being said.
Google’s software first tries to pick out the individual parts of speech — the different types of vowels and consonants that make up words. That’s one layer of the neural network. Then it uses that information to build more sophisticated guesses, each layer of these connections drives it closer to figuring out what’s being said.
Neural network algorithms can be used to analyze images too. “What you want to do is find little pieces of structure in the pixels, like for example like an edge in the image,” says Hinton. “You might have a layer of feature-detectors that detect things like little edges. And then once you’ve done that you have another layer of feature detectors that detect little combinations of edges like maybe corners. And once you’ve done that, you have another layer and so on.”
Neural networks promised to do something like this back in the 1980s, but getting things to actually work at the multiple levels of analysis that Hinton describes was difficult.
But in 2006, there were two big changes. First, Hinton and his team figured out a better way to map out deep neural networks — networks that make many different layers of connections. Second, low-cost graphical processing units came along, giving the academics had a much cheaper and faster way to do the billions of calculations they needed. “It made a huge difference because it suddenly made things go 30 times as fast,” says Hinton.

Today, neural network algorithms are starting to creep into voice recognition and imaging software, but Hinton sees them being used anywhere someone needs to make a prediction. In November, a University of Toronto team used neural networks to predict how drug molecules might behave in the real world.
Jeff Dean says that Google is now using neural network algorithms in a variety of products — some experimental, some not — but nothing is as far along as the Jelly Bean speech recognition software. “There are obvious tie-ins for image search,” he says. “You’d like to be able to use the pixels of the image and then identify what object that is.” Google Street View could use neural network algorithms to tell the difference between different kinds of objects it photographs — a house and a license plate, for example.
And lest you think this may not matter to regular people, take note. Last year Google researchers, including Dean, built a neural network program that taught itself to identify cats on YouTube.
Microsoft and IBM are studying neural networks too. In October, Microsoft Chief Research Officer Rick Rashid showed a live demonstration of Microsoft’s neural network-based voice processing software in Tianjin, China. In the demo, Rashid spoke in English and paused after each phrase. To the audience’s delight, Microsoft’s software simultaneously translated what he was saying and then spoke it back to the audience in Chinese. The software even adjusted its intonation to make itself sound like Rashid’s voice.
“There’s much work to be done in this area,” he said. “But this technology is very promising, and we hope in a few years that we’ll be able to break down the language barriers between people. Personally, I think this is going to lead to a better world.”

j) used to isolate disabled or people (the attacker hates) who do not travel much from society, by giving the impression that they have a network while a single person on a closed network of phonelines can pretend to be any number of persons (line can be intercepted, person manipulated)
k) stalkers or people one has had bad relationships with to sexually harrass people by posing as lovers or loved one to intentionally harm relationships
l) social sabotage where parents pretending to be a gf/bf and saying things to harm a relationship they do no like their child to be in
m) gf/bf pretending to be a parent saying things to harm relationship to isolate their stalking targets etc.
n) persons pretending to be callers purposely provoking their target to get emotional responses that can be recorded then later used for purposes of sabotage
o) state linked (or in worse case scenarios CULT linked) psychiatrists manipulating relationships with ingenuous calls with NLP content or other false news bearing persons
p) fraudsters pretending to be men/women that can pose as being from social network websites as friends etc. with intent to criminally defraud
q) fraud in false porn (for countries that have mostly illegalised porn) combined with false make up to impersonate personalities
r) used to manufacture evidence of ‘dangerous’ schzophrenics with dopplegangers in collusion with the psychiatric establishment.
This technology give all people with such handphones the skills of a ventriloquist and can be used immensely to cheat people as well in video calls with advanced ‘avatar’ technology that can be even more convincing than the above voice only. This is a dangerous technology and should not be allowed or must bear very clear and untamperable registration marks. If there are any language barriers to be broken, these can be broken only face to face, the added ‘layer’ of false flag of ‘foreign-ness’ though devices can be fatal even as people pretending to be family members etc. in extreme cases can be an even worse case scenario in extreme Orwellian cases or nations far easier also if the people involved do not meet up or communicate much. This means people could be killed and replaced without one being aware and with this technology and a general study of the people to be replaced for whatever reason, this device will not be a welcome addition without the above suggested caveats or protections.

If a human-sized hamster exercise wheel were made and connected to a dynamo, how much electricity would be generated by a person running in it and how often would they need to use it to produce enough electricity to power a small studio flat? Could an average family exercising daily produce all the power they needed? Could gyms be plugged into the national grid? – question posd by Amanda Leak, London, UK
Answer found on : I don’t know about hamster wheels but the wattage that a cyclist can output is well known. Cycling is more efficient than running so the following is conservative. A very fit cyclist can put out 200 watts on a sustained basis. A small living space of 100-300 sq feet might use two thousand kilowatt/hours a year (very conservatively). If the flat was very, very energy efficient, you might be able to produce enough electricity to run it for someone else as long as you ran in your hamster wheel 24 hours a day for over 400 days a year. Tricky.

Meteorite hits central Russia, more than 500 people hurt – by Natalia Shurmina and Andrey Kuzmin – 5:49am EST CHELYABINSK, Russia | Fri Feb 15, 2013 10:20am EST
The trail of a falling object is seen above a residential apartment block in the Urals city of Chelyabinsk, in this still image taken from video shot on February 15, 2013. REUTERS/OOO Spetszakaz
(Reuters) – More than 500 people were injured when a meteorite shot across the sky and exploded over central Russia on Friday, sending fireballs crashing to Earth, shattering windows and damaging buildings.
People heading to work in Chelyabinsk heard what sounded like an explosion, saw a bright light and then felt a shockwave according to a Reuters correspondent in the industrial city 950 miles east of Moscow.
A fireball blazed across the horizon, leaving a long white trail in its wake which could be seen as far as 125 miles away in Yekaterinburg. Car alarms went off, windows shattered and mobile phone networks were interrupted.
“I was driving to work, it was quite dark, but it suddenly became as bright as if it was day,” said Viktor Prokofiev, 36, a resident of Yekaterinburg in the Urals Mountains.
“I felt like I was blinded by headlights,” he said.
No fatalities were reported but President Vladimir Putin, who was due to host Finance Ministry officials from the Group of 20 nations in Moscow, and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev were informed.
A local ministry official said such incidents were extremely rare and Friday’s events might have been linked to an asteroid the size of an Olympic swimming pool due to pass Earth at a distance of 17,100 miles but this was not confirmed.
Russia’s space agency Roscosmos said the meteorite was travelling at a speed of 19 miles per second and that such events were hard to predict. The Interior Ministry said the meteorite explosion had caused a sonic boom.
Russia’s Emergencies Ministry said 514 people had sought medical help, mainly for light injuries caused by flying glass, and that 112 of those were kept in hospital. Search groups were set up to look for the remains of the meteorite.
“There have never been any cases of meteorites breaking up at such a low level over Russia before,” said Yuri Burenko, head of the Chelyabinsk branch of the Emergencies Ministry.
WINDOWS BREAK, FRAMES BUCKLE
Windows were shattered on Chelyabinsk’s central Lenin Street and some of the frames of shop fronts buckled.
A loud noise, resembling an explosion, rang out at around 9.20 a.m. (12:20 a.m. ET). The shockwave could be felt in apartment buildings in the industrial city’s center.
“I was standing at a bus stop, seeing off my girlfriend,” said Andrei, a local resident who did not give his second name. “Then there was a flash and I saw a trail of smoke across the sky and felt a shockwave that smashed windows.”
A wall was damaged at the Chelyabinsk Zinc Plant but a spokeswoman said there was no environmental threat.
Although such events are rare, a meteorite is thought to have devastated an area of more than 1,250 miles in Siberia in 1908, smashing windows as far as 125 miles from the point of impact.
The Emergencies Ministry described Friday’s events as a “meteor shower in the form of fireballs” and said background radiation levels were normal. It urged residents not to panic.
Chelyabinsk city authorities urged people to stay indoors unless they needed to pick up their children from schools and kindergartens. They said what sounded like a blast had been heard at an altitude of 32,800 feet.
The U.S. space agency NASA has said an asteroid known as 2012 DA14, about 46 meters in diameter, would have an encounter with Earth closer than any asteroid since scientists began routinely monitoring them about 15 years ago.
Television, weather and communications satellites fly about 500 miles higher. The moon is 14 times farther away.

Global Elitism: The Character Traits Of Truly Evil People – by Brandon Smith – Wednesday, February 20th, 2013. Filed under: Big Brother Eugenics New World Order
The first dangerous mistake the average person makes is the assumption that “evil” is a kind of subjective or “gray” concept. We would love to believe that all destructive and malicious behavior is merely a product of bad environment, bad upbringing, or mental psychosis. Deviance in the name of misguided “profit” or “status” is often more acceptable to the public; as long as there is a reason we can easily understand and grasp. What frightens the average American today is not the abhorrent action of criminality; rather, it is criminality without easily definable reason. What frightens the common citizen is the possibility that some people hurt others not because mommy and daddy “mistreated” them, or because they have a psychological deficiency that clouds their judgment, but because they fully and consciously ENJOY doing what they do. Our society is desperate to make excuses for the monsters of our era, perhaps because we would rather not entertain the possibility that there is a dark side to humanity as a whole, that if left unchecked, could take control in a deliberate and calculated way.
This is why the greatest crimes of our time often go ignored by the public. The idea, for instance, that international financiers and political elites would purposely create economic disparity, social chaos, and global war out of a desire for centralized power and a disturbed sense of superiority is simply too much for many to handle. Surely, these terrible events throughout our modern history are merely the result of random coincidence and human error…right?
Unfortunately, this is not the case. In fact, the majority of catastrophic cultural policies and tragedies can be traced directly back to a particular subset of people, who use their positions of influence for ill purpose, and knowingly engineer calamity not just for personal gain, but the gain of their “social class”
In the Liberty Movement, we often refer to this group as “Globalists” or “Elitists”. They permeate the upper echelons of our nation, and they do indeed have a culture that is entirely separate and disparate from our own. If one studies their literature, their initiatives, and their motives, he would discover another world, driven by outlandish goals and an even more outlandish brand of religious fervor. Here are some of the character traits and beliefs that make these people easy to identify….
Xeno-Fascism
Global Elitists tend to see themselves as a separate breed of human being; a superior class with superior faculties, and thus, born to “rule” over the rest of us. In their writings they often espouse the teachings of Plato’s Republic, and the concept of the “Philosopher Kings”. They believe that some men and women are endowed with a genetic predisposition to leadership, and that the average person does not have the intelligence to determine his own destiny. They see the rest of humanity as a blank canvas, and themselves as the artists. We are to be “molded” and our social dichotomies are to be manipulated.
In reality, they are no smarter than the rest of us. Rather, they inherit positions of wealth and influence, and automatically assume this makes them superior. Their ability to mold society is derived entirely from their extensive capital and their complete lack of morality. If they were not in the top .1% of the world’s rich, they would be treated like common criminals for their behavior; but, sadly, in our day and age money often buys undue respect. Imagine a private club of John Wayne Gacys or Charles Mansons, except with 80% of the world’s wealth at their disposal and the means to purchase good publicity and legal immunity. That is essentially what we are dealing with….
Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton. – Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society (1953) pgs. 49-50
Speaking of a future at most only decades away, an experimenter in intelligence control asserted, “I foresee a time when we shall have the means and therefore, inevitably, the temptation to manipulate the behavior and intellectual functioning of all the people through environmental and biochemical manipulation of the brain.” – Zbigniew Brezinski, Between Two Ages, America’s Role in the Technotronic Era 1970
Pursuit Of Zero Conscience
Elitists believe that conscience is a hindrance to success, instead of a worthwhile virtue. They knowingly and deliberately abandon their moral compass because they see it as an unnatural restriction, an obstacle that makes getting what they want more difficult. Conscience, however, never quite disappears in anyone. In order to reconcile their wretched mindset with that distant nagging sensation of guilt, they claim that their actions are “for the greater good of the greater number”. They desperately want to believe that they are serving the future of mankind, and that we should “appreciate” their guiding hand, even though the things they do seem far more hateful than helpful. They would condescend to call this “tough love”.
They further attempt to avoid the fact of their own dysfunction by trying to elicit criminality in others. If they can convince the masses that morality is “relative” and that right and wrong are subject to “interpretation”, if they can convince us to ignore our own inner voices which are inborn, then their monstrosity could eventually be considered normal, even preferable.
For in a world of moral relativists, the man with a conscience becomes the criminal, the outcast; and the elites become the heroes they always wanted to believe themselves to be.
In the meantime, they will often resort to costume and theater, wrapping themselves in a particular belief system and playing the role of the “saint”. The mask rarely comes off until they think their position of power is assured.
I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so. – Adolf Hitler
Do you really believe the masses will be Christian again? Nonsense! Never again. That tale is finished. No one will listen to it again. But we can hasten matters. The parsons will dig their own graves. They will betray their God to us. They will betray anything for the sake of their miserable jobs and incomes… – Adolf Hitler
The tenth rule of the ethics of rules and means is that you do what you can with what you have and clothe it in moral arguments. …the essence of Lenin’s speeches during this period was “They have the guns and therefore we are for peace and for reformation through the ballot. When we have the guns then it will be through the bullet.” And it was. – Saul Alinsky (Barack Obama taught the amoral philosophies of Alinsky as an organizer in Chicago. Hillary Clinton made Alinsky the topic of her undergraduate thesis)
Promote Collectivism
Top globalists are not necessarily collectivists themselves. In fact, they often swing far to the other end of the spectrum into an aberrant form of individualism. As discussed above, they even see conscience as a restriction on their personal freedom, and rebel against it as if rebelling against enslavement. What they do not grasp is that the inherent nature of conscience is a gift, one which has so far kept humanity away from the brink of total self-destruction, at least to this point. It is not a prison. Rather, it is protection from ourselves.
The elitist’s insane ideal of “pure individualism” without self discipline is a private matter they rarely discuss. In public, they constantly promote the collectivist lifestyle and admonish individualism in common people as “selfish” or “narcissistic”.
People often confuse “collectivism” with “community”. This is caused by a lack of understanding as well as a lack of experience. Community is a voluntary gathering of individuals for the purpose of mutual aid. Collectivism is the gathering of people by threat of force or loss, for the purpose of consolidating power into the hands of a few. It is the act of destroying individualism in the name of “protecting the group”. In America today, we have a disappearing sense of real community, while the “advantages” of collectivism are being sung to the rooftops by global elites.
If the population can be convinced that they are devoid of inherent qualities and characteristics, and that their environment is the totality of their existence, then they will hand over all power to anyone who promises them the best possible surroundings. That is to say, when we have no faith in our own individualism and self-responsibility, we will automatically seek protection, usually from a nanny government or dictatorship. This process of wrenching self determination from the populace has an ultimate end goal: World Governance and total dominance.
The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank…sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world. – Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from Tragedy And Hope
In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all. – Strobe Talbot, President Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted in Time, July 20th, 1992.
The “Noble Lie”
Elitists are very adamant about the idea of the “noble lie”; the use of a lie to attain a “positive goal”. In their view, average citizens lack the capacity to understand the bigger political and social picture, so we must be lied to in order to make us do what is best for ourselves. Of course, their version of what is best for our culture always seems to include first and foremost what is best for them.
The noble lie is a logical fallacy of epic proportions, and I often wonder if global elitists secretly doubt its legitimacy, or if they really buy into their own tripe. If you need to lie to people in order to get them to accept your ideas, then there must be something terribly wrong with your ideas. Ideas with vitality and honesty do not need to be “sold” to the public through chicanery; the truth takes on a life of its own. Only destructive philosophies need a foundation of lies in order to take root.
We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. All the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands. – Professor Arnold Toynbee, in a June 1931 speech before the Institute for the Study of International Affairs in Copenhagen.
Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have. – Richard Salent, former president, CBS News, Bill Clinton: Friend or Foe
Population Reduction
One of the centerpieces of the globalist religion is the concept of population reduction. They not only see themselves as a separate species with superior genetic makeup and a propensity for rulership, they also see the rest of us as cockroaches and “useless eaters”; a herd that needs to be “culled”.
The funny thing about population reductionists is that they always want OTHER people to die in order to save the planet. They never offer their own lives as a sacrifice for the “greater good”. This is because they assume they are “too important” (ostensibly because they think they are intelligent), while many of us are “expendable”.
Of course, overpopulation today is an oversold myth that has been debunked in many scientific circles. Population expansion is also not necessarily a bad thing. Greater population means more minds working on more problems. It drives technological advancement and forces us through the survival imperative to invent more efficient methods of production. There are indeed advantages to growth.
In the end, though, global elites do not care about the Earth. They do not believe in population reduction because they want to reduce pollution, our so-called “carbon footprint”, save the poor endangered animals, or even to protect finite resources. They want population reduction because first, they are Eugenicists who see some people as genetically inferior to others; and, second, because a culled population is easier to dominate. Again, less minds working means less problems solved, and less individuals to rock the boat when the state abuses its power.
A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal. – Audubon magazine, interview with Ted Turner, 1996
A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men………..The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births. – John P. Holdren (Top Science Adviser To Barack Obama)
Out of the full spectrum of human personality, one-fourth is electing to transcend…One-fourth is ready to so choose, given the example of one other…One-fourth is resistant to election. They are unattracted by life ever-evolving. One-fourth is destructive. They are born angry with God…They are defective seeds…There have always been defective seeds. In the past they were permitted to die a ‘natural death’…We, the elders, have been patiently waiting until the very last moment before the quantum transformation, to take action to cut out this corrupted and corrupting element in the body of humanity. It is like watching a cancer grow…Now, as we approach the quantum shift from creature-human to co-creative human—the human who is an inheritor of god-like powers—the destructive one-fourth must be eliminated from the social body. We have no choice, dearly beloveds. Fortunately you, dearly beloveds, are not responsible for this act. We are. We are in charge of God’s selection process for planet Earth. He selects, we destroy. We are the riders of the pale horse, Death. We come to bring death to those who are unable to know God…The riders of the pale horse are about to pass among you. Grim reapers, they will separate the wheat from the chaff. This is the most painful period in the history of humanity… – Futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard (featured in the film THRIVE, a collectivist propaganda piece falsely presented as an attack on the elitist establishment…in other words, controlled opposition)
The Source Of Our Pain
Now, globalists are not the only source of our social pain. We bear some responsibility. When we are not vigilant, when we deny our own ignorance and refuse to learn, when we lie to ourselves, when we cater to personal superficial desires rather than taking the future into account, we open the door for the devil, as it were. Evil, like conscience, resides in us all.
That said, globalists are not just terrible people in a random sense. They have constructed an entire culture of deviance. They are organized evil, and this is a problem that we must deal with soon. Good men are defined not only by their adherence to the inner voice of truth, but also their willingness to act when the truth is threatened. We must educate others, and when the time comes, put ourselves in harms way to remove the globalist ilk, before they destroy everything in a raging elitist fervor….

First understand that mob mentality and REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY (only the elected representatives decide) rather than TRUE DEMOCRACY (one man one vote on all bills) is hampering the entire gamut of DIVERSE expressions of humanity. There must be ALL KINDS of districts that the current system of so-called democracy actually does not allow. Take for instance 2nd amendment pro and against groups. They BOTH should be allowed BUT need to have their own districts and with those in opposing groups becoming subject to no-go zones with those having no opinion being allowed to travel to either and benefit from while obeying either policy in the manner of the district they are currently in.
Then try the Nudists vs. the Muslims using the Burkha. AGAIN both should be allowed but only in their specified zones which should be commensurate with the size of their own communities (i.e. larger ‘zones’ will be assigned if the communities are large, smaller zones if communities are small. Then the LGBT vs. the Heteros. Then the pot smokers (or other organic drugs users) vs. non-substance users, etc etc.. The democracy of USA still does not have that sort of flexibility and is wholly dependent on the idiosyncratic and term limitless nature of the rep. or governer rather than absolute rights based around freedom of expression and freedom of lifestyle which is what democracy is NOT this sort of democracy that can be taken away if your representative suddenly converts to a religion or is against a substance while being LGBT or ultra-hetero. Democracy IS ABSOLUTE though appropriate spaces and access TO ALL EXPRESSIONS of humanity need their own silos.
I have been writing about democracy for ages since the place I live in (a borderline fundo-state that practices a non-violent socio-political apartheid – low level psychological warfare all the time backed with economic suppression) is NOT DEMOCRATIC even though USA already isn’t exactly that either while a world leader in democracy for certain – yet not 100% democratic (only the President’s post is 1 man 1 vote, all Governors and Senators are merely REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY) . I look at the solution being to keep renewing representatives and to ensure that everyone has their own spaces. The only people qualified to lead any country need to be able to understand the above, everyone else who cannot legislate for a group they hate is not worthy of leadership. A rep must be friends with all the above groups mentioned AND able to legislate in a way that ALL the above groups can live in harmony (even if that means no-go zones being implemented or implementing of zones that rep personally hates – governement is neutral a rep CANNOT hate any group).

‘Greece becoming third world country – economically and democratically’ – February 20, 2013 14:52
As Greece struggles to pay back overwhelming amounts of bailout loans, journalist and documentary maker Aris Chatzistefanou says the country is facing an even bigger issue.
“When you have huge debt like the one that Greece and other countries in the European periphery are facing, you start losing levels of democracy and I’m afraid that has happened,” he told RT.
Chatzistefanou spoke to RT about Wednesday’s protests and the wider picture regarding Greece’s ongoing economic woes.
RT: Workers in Greece are steadfast in trying to force the government to get rid of the bailout deal, but is there any other way to help the economy?
Aris Chatzistefanou: Many progressive economists have said for the last two or three years that these austerity measures will create not only social genocide in Greece, but they will destroy the infrastructure of the economy. And now we are talking about debt that is still increasing after three austerity packages. And if everything goes as planned, we will have a debt of 175 per cent of GDP. Don’t forget that before the IMF and the troika intervention in Greece, we had a debt of 115 per cent. So it’s exactly these austerity measures that create the problem.
There are many alternative plans for example, default, because everyone knows that right now it’s impossible to repay a huge debt like that – even if we accept that it’s legal. And many people say that it’s not legal. That it’s illegal. Many other economists have spoken about exiting the eurozone. Even Paul Krugman has characterized the eurozone as a straightjacket for Greece which created this huge debt to the economy.
RT: These are big figures we’re talking about. And we see pictures here of protesters. Either way, the protests in Greece have turned violent many times over these recessionary years. How are things in Athens looking, where you are?
AC: Today we had one of the biggest demonstrations in the past five years, with organizers saying it exceeded 100,000 people. It was mainly a peaceful demonstration in Athens but I’m receiving now some message of small clashes in parts of Athens with police using teargas and some protesters reacting by throwing stones and fire bombs to the police. But I think we should keep that it was a mainly peaceful demonstration and one of the biggest of the last five years or so. I’m saying that because we will see in the news tonight only the clashes with the police, which is not the main message of what happened today in Athens and other cities in Greece.
RT: In a wider sense, you’ve described the situation in Greece as a ‘debtocracy.’ Do you mean the crisis has now somehow become a political regime?
AC: With the title of our documentary, Debtocracy, we wanted to explain that when you have huge debt like the one that Greece and other countries in the European periphery are facing, you start losing levels of democracy and I’m afraid that has happened. Don’t forget that one year ago, we had a non-elected prime minister and after the election we have a government that promised to renegotiate the debt but never did. They only invest in riot police and unconstitutional bills that impose more austerity in the country. I’m afraid we are becoming a third world country, not only as far as the economy is concerned, but also as far as democracy is concerned.

Easy but there will be lots of diplomatic backlash. Cease trade and refuse all increasing interest with debtors.Disassociate with the IMF and and world bodies that deamdn anything. This will be like North Korea’s economic sanctions at worst, since Greece is not trying to militarise, NATO sending in armies (or even to collect debt on behalf of creditors) is almost impossible.
Then distribute unused state land to Grecians. During this time most social services will cease and subsistence farming, cottage industries, self education and return to herbal medicines (which is what big-pharm is anyway except synthetic), will be the people’s main occupation. AFTER all debt is returned (this might be a very long time but at least all interest ceases and returns shall be capital debt cancellation intended), then begin trading with creditor nations who consider the suspension of interest and trade tolerable again (those that insist that Greece owes interest loanshark style are not nations that Greece needs to associate with anyway). Better than the country being sold to the globalist NWO-illuminati cartel! And no more riots because not a single level of democracy will be lost when all offending 1% MPs that do not redistribute unused state land are kicked out!

‘Stuff does not bring happiness’: Sir Richard Branson pledges to give away half his Virgin fortune to ‘make a difference in the world’ – by Simon Tomlinson – PUBLISHED: 17:12 GMT, 20 February 2013 | UPDATED: 17:12 GMT, 20 February 2013
Sir Richard Branson is among the latest crop of billionaires who have promised to donate at least half their fortune to charity.
The Virgin Group founder has added his name to the Giving Pledge campaign set up by U.S. investor Warren Buffett and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
In their pledge letter, Sir Richard and his wife Joan said they wanted to use cash from the company to create ‘a healthy, equitable and peaceful world for future generations to enjoy.’

‘As and when we take monies out of the Virgin Group of companies the majority of it will be invested in entrepreneurial approaches to help make a difference in the world.’
The Giving Pledge was started three years ago by Mr Gates, his wife Melinda and Mr Buffett and within just a few months they had encouraged more than 30 other U.S. billionaires to get no board.

The initiative does not accept any money, but asks billionaires to make a moral commitment to give away their wealth to charity.
Sir Richard is among the first non-U.S. batch of signatories to join as Mr Gates and Mr Buffett decided to concentrate their early efforts on those in America first.
Others include Russian industrial magnate Vladimir Potanin and Ukrainian metals and media tycoon Victor Pinchuk.
Other prominent pledgers include Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Star Wars director George Lucas and Ted Turner, the founder of the CNN news channel.

Staple based soup kitchens offering PLAIN (undrugged) water, simple cereals and protein (egg? soya?) which source their own farm grown food in every corner of the world would be nice. Actually enough billionaires doing this together might well end world hunger. On a middle class tangent, perhaps interest based earnings of collective plutocracy (fiat in bank accounts will end eventually, people are wise-ing up quick), could be used to buy solar panels for everyone so that energy independence could be ensured.

Grammar school teacher who was awarded the MBE is banned from classrooms after streaking naked with pupils – by Martin Robinson – PUBLISHED: 12:51 GMT, 19 February 2013 | UPDATED: 15:02 GMT, 19 February 2013
David Bradley, 55, admits he acted ‘inappropriately’ by stripping
He also undressed in an area where children, aged 12 and 13, were naked
Mr Bradley was found guilty of misconduct by the Teaching Agency
They banned him today for at least two years
Banned: David Bradley, 55, cannot teach for at least two years after he admitted streaking across a field with a group of year 8 pupils
A grammar school teacher who streaked naked in front of his pupils has been banned from Britain’s classrooms for at least two years.
Education Secretary Michael Gove imposed the sanction on David Bradley, 59, after a disciplinary panel found him guilty of ‘unacceptable professional conduct’ while working at North Cestrian Grammar School, in Altrincham, Cheshire.
Bradley, who received an MBE four years ago for his work with children on the Duke of Edinburgh scheme, quit his job last month after admitting it had been ‘inappropriate’ to streak.
He had been camping with the group of 12-and 13-year-olds on a field trip when he agreed to run naked across a garden.
The married teacher told a disciplinary panel: ‘The lads had streaked for a joke and they were saying, “Come on sir, you have a go.”
‘At that point, for whatever reason, I got up, ran down the garden and ran back in. Even when I did it I thought, “What am I doing?”’
The Teaching Agency, who announced the ban today said: ‘We are satisfied on the evidence that he took the conscious decision to agree to streak, then moved out of his sleeping bag, removed his boxer shorts and then ran with pupils in the garden.
Bradley said that he could not explain why he had behaved in that way, but claimed that in November 2011 he was close to a breakdown due to stress and the pressure of work.
Their report went on: ‘Mr Bradley confirmed that there were no complaints raised by any children, and the children had found it hilarious.’
Recommending he should be struck off the disciplinary panel said: ‘Teachers are expected to behave in a manner which ensures the maintenance of appropriate professional boundaries.
‘We believe that your actions in engaging in the streak failed to maintain the clear boundaries and appropriate delineation of behaviour which should exist between pupils and teachers. Your behaviour failed to ensure the maintenance of appropriate boundaries which are essential in order to ensure that a teacher’s position of trust, responsibility and authority are upheld.’
Bradley had undressed in an area where children were showering during the school camping trip to the Solwaybank centre in Dumfries and Galloway in November 2011.
The veteran teacher, from Hale Barns in Greater Manchester, was also accused of inappropriately hugging a female pupil from North Cestrian Grammar School in Altrincham, Cheshire, where he taught.
However, the Teaching Agency hearing in Coventry ruled that undressing in front of boys while they showered and hugging the girl, who Bradley said was hypothermic, did not amount to misconduct.
Respected: Four years ago Mr Bradley was handed an MBE four years ago but has now left North Cestrian Grammar School in Altrincham in disgrace after the school trip

The English master was awarded an MBE in 2008 for services to young people after running schemes for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award for 30 years.
He said at the time that organising trips was ‘normally just an excuse to have fun and enjoy the animal vitality the young exude’.
Bradley, who has taught for 37 years, said he realised while streaking that what he was doing was unprofessional.
However, referring to the accusations about hugging the girl, Bradley said he was ‘aghast’ that what used to be considered normal behaviour for teachers could now cause complaints.
‘The thing that comes out of this is how out of date I am,’ he said.
‘What is viewed as normal today seems to have gone to a frightening situation where an adult can’t be near to a child without being accused of something. I’m aghast.’

Actually the fact that such a brittle looking person can streak with the school kids makes for heartwarming reading. What would the school prefer? That the man is part of violent branches of the KKK and joins (priest?) pedo parties on the weekend on the quiet? A man who is welcome enough to streak alongside students is a rare and wonderful person to be around. In these days such people are an extreme rarity and should be learnt from not attacked.

Thats not out of date, but rather a small bit of what the setting of nudism of Adam and Eve might have been all about. This guy sounds almost saintly to have not caused the students discomfort despite being naked together. Perhaps those would be pedo priests during their training should understudy this man.

Wow you really seem to be stereo typing preppers as some lone idiot with a 3 day pack who heads for the hills and thinks he is going to survive in the wilderness… And you think prepper TV shows represent the average prepper?
Also I think most people know meat is not carbs. Also all greens “ARE” carbs! they are called complex carbs and fruits are simple carbs. If you can’t survive more then 3 years with a two acre garden and all your so called skills me thinks you are exaggerating your skills or just plain ignorant of growing food. Most prepper have a plan to raise meat along with their garden and also to work together with others.
What you describe are not preppers they are idiots so it is bit pretentious of you to lump preppers into that category and claim their plans will fail..
Oh almost forgot and why is it you think permaculture doesn’t work since you can’t even survive on a two acre garden? How many permaculture farms have you visited? And what is your experience level with permaculture?
This is by far the most ridiculous post I’ve ever seen in the survival community on ATS.
People are praising this? This is completely silly and everything you state is just plain wrong in so many ways.
I guess all vegans are going to die based on your studies because they don’t have meat? What you are saying is vegans and most vegetarians can’t live for more than 3 years because, what, gardens can’t produce what you need to survive?
If you are able to have a garden to grow crops that aren’t heavy carb producers, then there is no reason in hell that you can’t grow high carb crops as well. High carb crops are the most resilient crops out there and can be grown in most cases in the coldest of temperatures with minimal soil nutrients. Things like potatoes, carrots, beans, corn, yams, any kind of roots, mushrooms – the list goes on and on and on. Combine those with other nutritious wild foods and vegetables and you could survive indefinitely if you never see the sight of an animal again.
And the talk of communities working together when you want to shoot anyone who wants to join in a community. Kind of self defeating don’t you think? What about the people who just want to be left alone? I guess they won’t survive if you go out there and actively hunt people for trying to survive, but words of wisdom, anyone bugging out with the skills to do it on their own, will probably off you before you even know where they are – I know I would just based on your attitude.
People live alone all the time. You make it sound impossible. Far from it. I guess if some clown from the city with wild dreams of living off roots and rivers comes running out at first change, they might have a helluva a time – but most people know what they hell they are doing. Obviously you don’t. If you did you wouldn’t be so wrong on so many fronts. Or maybe your are just trying to scare people and get their hopes done, who knows – either way it is “fail” written in so many words.
I’ll be sure to stay away from your “turf” if SHTF, but by the sound of it, I will only have to wait a few years. Once you die off in 1-3 years I’ll be able to go in and pick up all the stuff you failed miserably at handling and survive handily, thank you very much.

Actually this is necesssary because a certain area has food growth limits, or even limited life energy that can only support so many people. Barring the inbreeding issue generationally or incidental deaths that leave ‘support space’ for newbies, the stakeout issue and territory issue is critical not because of ideals or insanity but simple limits to what can be grown on any acreage (high rises filled with SOIL and with enough sunlight can in fact hold more people see link below :
BUT because the individual hi-rise unit spaces tend to be far less than an acre maxing out at 10,000 mostly, the urbanscape of hi-rises is unliveable in terms of subsistence farming unless every family owns an entire floor or a few floors in the case of smaller or high density hi-rise – flats). In fact there isn’t enough for people to live by in terms of spiritual energy EVEN IN LOW DENSITY NEIGHBOURHOODS much less hi-rise. Being a spiritualist of sorts who has studied for decades these issues, I am well aware that the denser the neighbourhood, the more unliveable and more hivelike and intolerant selfish and greedy the people become, which is why the paedophilia or rape issues occurs sometimes. Pathological space or energy hungry parents or couples who think to teach children to ‘grok’ energy, eating like pigs or whatever end up making these children extra attractive to paedophiles or trained spiritualists who indulge ‘From A Distance’.

Flowers get an electrifying buzz out of visiting bees – by Douglas Heaven – 19:00 21 February 2013
Plants could turn out to be one of the more chatty organisms. Recent studies have shown they can communicate with a surprising range of cues. Now it turns out they could be sending out electrical signals, too.
As they fly through the air, bees – like all insects – acquire a positive electric charge. Flowers, on the other hand, are grounded and so have a negative charge. Daniel Robert at the University of Bristol, UK, and colleagues set out to investigate whether bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) were able to make use of these signals.
To test the idea, the team created artificial flowers, filling some with sucrose and others with quinine, a substance bees don’t feed on. To start with, the bees visited these flowers at random. But when a 30 volt field – typical for a 30-centimetre-tall flower – was applied to the artificial blooms containing sucrose, the team found that the bees could detect the field from a few centimetres away and visited the charged flowers 81 per cent of the time. The bees reverted to random behaviour when the electricity was switched off.
“That was the first hint that had us jumping up and down in the lab,” says Robert. The result suggests the bees may use the electric field as an indicator of the presence of food, much like colour and scent do. In the absence of a charge, they forage at random.
Next, his team looked at whether the bees were influenced by the shape of a flower’s electric field, which is determined by the flower’s shape. By varying the shape of the field around artificial flowers that had the same charge, they showed that bees preferentially visited flowers with fields in concentric rings like a bullseye: these were visited 70 per cent of the time compared to only 30 per cent for flowers with a solid circular field.
Ruthless evolution
The researchers don’t know exactly what information is contained in the flowers’ electrical signals, but they speculate that flowers could evolve different shaped fields in their competition to attract pollinators. “Flowers are a ruthless expression of evolution,” says Robert. “They exploit the bees.”
It’s likely that a flower’s electric charge reinforces the cues provided by its colour and scent, says Robert, in much the same way as TV commercials use a mix of visual and aural cues to convey their message. The team showed, for example, that bees took a shorter time to distinguish two very similar shades of green when an electric cue was applied. “Electricity is part of their sensory world,” says Robert.
When a bee visits a flower it transfers some of its positive charge, incrementally changing the flower’s field. With repeated visits, the charge may alter significantly, which could tell other bees that the nectar supply has been diminished. “The last thing a flower wants to do is lie to a bee,” says Robert. “Electricity is a way to change cues very quickly: ‘I look perfect, I smell nice, but my electrics aren’t quite right – come back later!’”
Of course, there may be a few cheaters out there that won’t budge a millivolt when visited, he says. But both flowers and bees have limited control over their charge. “All that comes for free,” says Robert. “It’s just atmospheric physics.” He hopes to find out whether other pollinators – including bats – also use electrical cues.
Dishonest advertising
Robert Raguso at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, agrees that the changing electric field may signal that nectar is running low. “Flower colours and scents change slowly, but nectar or pollen can be removed quickly by a pollinator, creating a situation in which the just-visited flower still advertises, dishonestly,” he says. The rapid change in electric charge would cut through those out-of-date cues. “Just as the chemical marks left by bee feet can be used by subsequent bees to avoid visiting a depleted flower,” he says.
Lars Chittka at Queen Mary, University of London, also thinks it is an interesting finding. He notes that an electrostatic charge can cause pollen to jump short distances from flower to bee, making it easier for the bee to pollinate – another reason bees may favour flowers with a charge.
However, Chittka points out that we cannot yet say with certainty that the bees’ ability to detect an electric charge is a true sixth sense. It may be that when a bee hovers over a flower it simply feels the static charge making its hairs bend, in the same way that hairs on our arm bend towards a charged balloon.
If, however, bees do have a true electrical sense, they will join the ranks of certain fish and amphibians. They would be the first animal found to detect electrical fields in the air. “It’s previously only been seen in animals in soggy environments,” says Chittka.

Disrupting a certain ‘individuals field’ caused bee colony collapse worldwide. Keep on pushing and as Einstein said, when bee colonies die, the ecosystem and humanity will follow. Such greed to heal a few ‘useless eater’ people and gain merely local fame that ignores possible destruction of an entire world or at least an entire insect species which sustains the world.

So, when flatmates Jess, Greta and Luke decided to publish their recipes they needed something to make them stand out from the crowd and accidentally sparked an internet craze for baring all in the kitchen.
Naked Vegan Cooking was launched from the Manchester kitchen of the three extroverted friends in June 2011 and now has thousands of followers.
Baking: Sammy from Portland, Oregon, was a fan and decided to contribute to the site
Co-founders: Greta (left) shows off her culinary skills, while Jess (right) described how the site has encouraged discussion of body image as well as ethical food
The friends insist that it is entirely non-sexual and co-founder Jess recently explained that the site has promoted the discussion of both ethical food and a positive body image.
In an interview with website goingveryvegan he said: ‘Luke, Greta and I had the idea to start Naked Vegan Cooking when we all moved in together two years ago.
‘We decided to team up and create a blog to share our recipes. At the time we thought of the idea, Luke happened to be in the kitchen cooking naked and Naked Vegan Cooking was born.
‘We soon realised that by being naked we can talk about some of the issues that we care about – creating positive body image, showing real naked bodies in a world of photoshopped, unrealistic images, and feminism.’
Starkers: Enthusiastic fan of the site John submitted his pie recipe
Delicacy: Sandra contributes a photo of a steak sandwich for the site
Although the idea was originally a ‘gimmick’, the founders insist that there is not ‘an airbrush in sight’ and that they publish pictures of real people in their natural state.
Now, fans of the site’s ethos send in their own recipes and photographs to be featured on Naked Vegan Cooking.
With 1,600 likes on Facebook, and 2,600 people following them on Twitter, the threesome are considering writing an anthology of essays.
When asked if she had had any cooking mishaps, Jess, whose favourite recipe is for Hazelnut Pate, replied: ‘I’ve had a couple, in the early days when deep frying falafel.
‘We quickly learned that aprons are not the enemy.’
The site received even more publicity last month when Jess was featured on Channel 4’s ‘My Daughter the Teenage Nudist’, something that Jess described as a ‘scary prospect’ but that they received a very positive response.
Despite their strong ethical message, Jess, who was put off meat after watching Babe, said that they do not want to pressure people, and that Veganism is ‘one option among many different options.’
He said: ‘To be honest I cheat a fair bit. I don’t think the odd bit of cheating is a bad thing.
‘I kind of have this impression that a lot of vegans are obsessed with “purity”; scouring ingredients for small traces of animal products that probably don’t make a massive impact on animal suffering.’
He added: ‘Veganism is not the revolution.’
Move Over Jamie oliver : The REAL Naked Chefs are here!
JESS’S FAVOURITE: HAZELNUT PATE WITH SESAME TOAST
INGREDIENTS:
One large onion (finely chopped)
2-3 sticks of celery (fine chopped)
olive oil
2-3 slices of crumbled wholemeal bread
2 stock cubes / or 2tsp bullion powder
350g mushrooms (sliced), bunch of parsley (fine chopped),
1 head of garlic (roughly chopped)
1 tbsp marmite/yeast extract, 300g
toasted hazelnuts
salt and pepper to taste
2 slices of wholemeal bread per person
vegan margarine
sesame seeds
METHOD
Gently sweat down the onion, celery and garlic in a largish pot with a generous amount of olive oil. When the onions are clear, add the mushrooms, stock powder, and hazelnuts. Once the mushrooms have softened and start to get juicy, crumble in the bread, and add in the chopped parsley and yeast extract. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste – be really generous with the salt, it makes a huge difference. Pop the mixture in a blender and blend smooth. To make the sesame toast, place your bread in the toaster or under the grill as usual, then thickly spread one side with butter. Cover the buttered surface of the toast with a coating of sesame seeds. Cut into triangles and serve with the pate. – NakedVeganCooking.com

This is taking up the challenge and truly very few people have the positive sense of sexuality and self as well as self confidenceto pull this off. This is truly accurate naming of a programme (go hide now Jamie Oliver, or go naked, that ‘Naked Chef’ is merely figurative while these are BOTH figurative and literal). How about a non-vegan Naked Chef show as well? Lets be truly inclusive, lets slap a bloody steak (horse or beef perhaps whale???) on some beautiful (less so young? Of course . . . OF COURSE . . . ahem sorry paedos, theres that afterthought for you anyway – thats not sexual abuse . . . just being ‘sauna-ed’ for a fee (embarrassment factor notwithstanding but children should know they will grow up and none would recognize them later on as adults UNLESS they are dissident activists or psychiatric targets of the state for whatever reason) . . . NO TOUCHING PLS of the ‘platter’ or yourselves while ‘partaking’ . . . )
PETA activists anyone? Fundraiser y’know . . . ‘Nyotaimori style’ in a food outlet – and make them sweat with that meat over an overhead grill (but only eat the steak of course . . . ahem OF COURSE . . . ) . . . portion of Lady GaGa, I mean a non-preserved version of that meat dress anyone?

Over-60s are told: go back to university and retrain – By Tim Ross, Political Correspondent – 10:00PM GMT 20 Feb 2013
People in their sixties should go to university to retrain because they will be expected to work for longer before retirement, the Government has suggested.
Older workers who take courses to keep their skills up to date will be more likely to keep their jobs, claims David Willetts, the higher education minister.
Mr Willetts said the age limit on student loans to cover tuition fees had been lifted, making a degree course “great value” for older people. This would help them cope with the pressure they would face to keep up to date as they worked well into their sixties, he suggested.
His comments followed a government report which found that the country’s future economic success would depend on the skills and contributions of older workers.
Campaigners for the elderly voiced doubts that prospective pensioners would be willing to commit to challenging degree courses and increased levels of debt to continue working.
One in four people will be older than 65 by 2033 and economists have warned that the ageing population will place an unsustainable burden on taxpayers unless more people work for longer.
The state pension age is to rise to 67 by 2028. Ministers have warned that they have no idea when younger workers in their thirties will be able to retire.
Mr Willetts, who is accompanying David Cameron in India, urged workers older than 60 to give further education serious consideration. “There is certainly a pressure for continuing to get retrained and upskilled,” he said. “Higher education has an economic benefit in that if you stay up to date with knowledge and skills you are more employable.”
Mr Willetts said a university course had “wider” benefits, making people more likely to lead healthy lives.
“Education is such a good thing it is not reserved for younger people,” he said. “There will be people of all ages who will want to study. There is great value in lifelong learning.”
Under previous rules, students in England were eligible for a loan to cover tuition fees only if they were younger than 54.
“There was a lot of criticism about the ageism of all this,” Mr Willetts said. “The regime now is there is no age limit on fee loans.”
Latest figures showed that only 1,940 undergraduates starting courses last year were older than 60, out of a total of 552,240 students in Britain. Some 6,455 were aged between 50 and 60, according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
Mr Willetts said this pattern was changing. He said: “There is evidence that the idea that you first study and then stop isn’t what the world is like any more.”
Online courses were attracting “a lot of older people” who are taking advantage of their reduced work commitments to spend more time studying, he said. Most older students take university courses for recreational purposes to keep their minds active and pursue a long-term interest, such as art history or literature. Ministers believe that this is likely to change as more people are required to retrain for different jobs.
“There is nothing stopping older people applying for university,” Mr Willetts said. “If they can benefit from it, they should have that opportunity.
“If people need it in order to keep up to date with changes in their jobs, that is an opportunity they are going to take.”
Last year, a government report said higher education remained an option to encourage older people to stay in the workforce.
Ministers have abolished the default retirement age, which had restricted individuals’ ability to remain in work, and are encouraging employers to allow their staff to switch to more flexible hours.
Older workers will be given “advice and retraining” through the national skills strategy, and a new “all-age” careers service will be set up to help people find jobs, the report said.
In a section headed “how to get older persons to stay in the work force”, the first policy listed stated: “Higher education remains an option for people throughout their lives. Student loans for tuition fees have no age limit”.
Loans to cover living costs while at university have an age limit of 60. Tuition fees in England are now set at up to £9,000 a year and students are only required to pay back once they have graduated and started earning a salary of more than £21,000.
However, the average pensioner this year will have an income of £15,300 a year, meaning they are unlikely ever to be required to repay the loan.
A House of Lords committee is investigating the impact of the ageing population on public services.
Prof John Philpott, the chief economist at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, told the committee that universities should set up more courses to help older workers study “at weekends or during breaks”.
Dr Ros Altmann, an economist and leading pensions specialist, said she was “not convinced” that many people would see a three-year university degree costing £27,000 as a good investment.
She said: “If you have already been in the workplace and you know what you want to study, I wouldn’t have thought that three years at university with those kind of costs, and the long holidays that universities have, would be the best thing for older people to take up and pay for.”
Dr Altmann said a dedicated education programme, developed by employers, would be more suitable.

Not a cent for the Education-Financiar Debt Complex! Also not a work hour for the NWO – save education fees and not support the Orwellian establishment later! Perhaps if those courses were free, yes. Otherwise 60s is not time to be getting into university debt! There is no guarantee of getting any work at all after ‘retraining’ lnowing what society’s collusive and term limitless political term limitless creeps and GLC cronies are like), this looks like a propaganda job to make sure the Unis survive the depression which looks possible decades long in scope!

Angela Merkel has been accused of engaging in an “unholy alliance” with Britain after backing David Cameron’s demands for a cut to the European Union budget. – by Louise Armitstead, Chief Business Correspondent 12:11PM GMT 21 Feb 2013
Angela Merkel has been accused of engaging in an “unholy alliance” with Britain in a German Bundestag debate on the EU budget cut.
Speaking in the German Bundestag this morning, Peter Steinbruck, the SPD party’s candidate for Chancellor, lambasted Ms Merkel for siding with Mr Cameron “of all people.”
“You have joined in an unholy budget-cut alliance with of all people a head of government who possibly wants to leave the EU,” he said. He told her that if Germany “wants more Europe in the future, it needs partners that also see their future in Europe.”
Ms Merkel told the Bundestag that Germany had “achieved all its goals” in the EU budget negotiations.
Two weeks ago the Prime Minister emerged from an all-night summit with a deal to cut the EU budget for the first time in its 56-year history. Reporting back to Parliament, Mr Cameron said he had rejected proposals by Europe’s “big spenders” for an increase in the budget. “By working with like-minded allies, we delivered a real-terms cut in what Brussels can spend for the first time in history,” he said.
Ms Merkel sided with Britain and against Francois Hollande, President of France who wanted more spending to boost economic growth. Ms Merkel, who is seen as the architect of the tough austerity strategy being imposed across the EU, said: “We couldn’t have explained to Europe, neither countries in crisis nor the ones shouldering solidarity, that all have to cut spending apart from Europe itself.”
Yesterday, Jean-Louis Borloo, the French environment minister, told a French radio station that there were “extremely worrying” signs that the Franco-German axis of power in Europe was being replaced by an Anglo-German axis. “This means that we’re probably turning our back on the great European ambitions… this is an extremely important political and diplomatic shift.”

The Angles (Anglo-Saxon mix bloods or English) were a bunch of outcasts from Germany anyway. Looks like the Imperial Aachen Lion Throne is set to make a comeback and rhis time without the nastiness that the Nazis were known for – and with no English resistence. Long live Charlemagne’s Germania (Franco-German-Spanish). About time the Angle rascals rejoined the Charlemagne’s empire at a proper level (i.e. a post-colonial Barony of Imperial Germany!). Meanwhile if the Welsh, Irish and Scots team up, that Paganist Triple Crown of the 3 Great Faiths based around Nordic Prose Edda/Mabinogi, Celtism and Druidism looks set to be the last real bastion of the REAL AND ORIGINAL culture and faith of the Isles! So said the hag! The SCGs by the way are the Sax-Coburg Gothas WHO ARE Germans who changed their names to Windsor because they feared being Germans during WW1! They are NOT English!

Homeowner dodges property taxes : County assessor drops ball, taxpayers pay price – by Kim Holland – Updated: Saturday, 23 Feb 2013, 9:56 AM MST
ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – How do you hide a house in plain sight?
The answer, according to a News 13 investigation, is pretty easily. And taxpayers, who lose out on thousands of dollars, pay the price.
The house in question is located on Atrisco Drive NW a few blocks north of Central Avenue in Albuquerque. The 2,500-square-foot home belongs to Albuquerque resident Francis Connor, who began building it nearly a decade ago.
Connor slowly constructed the house over the years. But despite the fact that the file at the Bernalillo County Assessor’s office contained regular, updated photos of the property, the county never noticed and the homeowner apparently never told the county about it.
And, because of that, Connor got a sweet deal on his property taxes because he only paid taxes on a garage and an 800-square-foot building located behind the new home.
“I cannot answer for previous administration and how the employees were,” said Evelyn Barela, the deputy county assessor. She and Assessor Tanya Giddings just took office six weeks ago.
The law puts the responsibility of property taxes on the property owner.
“As a homeowner it’s your responsibility to bring it to our attention,” Barela said. “It also is your responsibility to look at your notice of value every year when it comes to you to make sure that is a fair and equitable value placed on your home.”
And Connor, it seems, should have known about his responsibility because he’s a supervisor in the city of Albuquerque’s Planning Department.
Connor declined an interview with News 13 but said in a statement that he’s only been living in the home for 18 months. He didn’t explain why he wasn’t paying taxes on the 2,500-square-foot home. He should have started paying property taxes on the home once 50 percent of the construction was complete.
Still, Barela admitted that the assessor’s office should have noticed the home and put it on the county’s tax rolls.
“We have appraisers out in the field that are supposed to look at each and every parcel,” she said. “And it was missed.”
Photos News 13 dug up show the house was under construction in 2002. A dozen aerial photos over the years show the house completed. Some of those photos were from the assessor’s office. So how did they not know the house existed to put it on the tax rolls?
But Francis Connor’s free ride is about to end. Just last week the assessor’s office sent out appraisers to inspect and measure the house and promises this house will be on the 2013 tax rolls.
The assessor is now deciding how much back taxes and penalties it can collect from Connor.

Look here if they can’t afford those taxes, they cannot have those taxes levied. the state meanwhile has no right to take away their home either.
Nonsense about hiding what one builds on one’s own land. Do you think ‘God’ would even believe in this sort of law, and that this sort of law can be punished? Even if citing lack of aesthetics or uniformity, there is no democratic case for this sort of law. So, no need to hide. All private property is free for the owner to build. Assessments or property tax in fact should be inapplicable IF the owner is not earning anything from the property – the net result would be people losing their properties from defaulting on quit rents with is absolutely undemocratic and wealth destroying while the state ends up richer simply because you did not vote for MPs or Governors and Representatives that would not include clauses that prohibit such property seizures from yourself if you happen to be not earning enough or not based on what you earn (i.e. you earn nothing you pay nothing)!
Detroit homeowners who do pay property taxes frustrated with return (No earnings is because the Government has mismanaged the country, the citizens must not be penalized and lose their homes in turn.)
Tax Planners Dodge Flak over Real Estate Levy (The politicians who appointed these tax planners need to be voted out, or need to remove the tax planners and rewrite offending laws, the nation is for the People, not the Government and flaw minded tax planners.)
http://english.caixin.com/2011-01-07/100214734.html
Only profitable (not necessarily profiteering) properties can be taxed or assessed, and even then at levels no more than regular income tax. This way state targeted deprivation of property rights based on contrived inability to earn due to clique or nepotism politics in the private or GLC or government sector from bad laws left unamended by bad politicians not doing their jobs identifying and pushing for such amendments, cannot be used as a weapon to impoverish citizens who’s views on politics differ from the Orwellian state which seems to think they own the political seat that their children are being promoted to keep in the style of feudalism! That is why term limits and prohibitions against nepotism are needed, to prevent this dangerous sense of entitlement and Mubarak/Gaddafi/Salleh type culture which is LEGALISTIC but NOT-DEMOCRATIC and far less than meritocratic. Such pro-foreclosure laws are democratically impossible to retain and need to be amended, such term limitless nepotism politics paradigms create culture of entitlement that destroys nation for the benefit of a handful of politicians.
Good MPs or Representatives, lawmakers, or even a Ministry of Finance in any good country will be aware of such issues in society and act to prevent such taxation, as well as prevent nepotism and term limitlessness that causes such problems of indirect State Persecution Orwellian style – a political version of Suntzu would applaud this post IMHO! One of the ugliest tricks in society and government is this sort of law, no thanks to undiscernng voters too busy working to think abut what their MP or Representative purposely ignores and refuses to amend.
All property foreclosures could be stopped INCLUDING accrual of compound interest, although the children of the defaulters should be required to pay at flat rate what they owe over a few generations if necessary. That family home at least would not disappear into the hands of the state if these laws are amended or such foreclosures of properties could occur, the descendents though could be fairly saddled with NON-INCREASING (non interest incurring) DEBT at any rate. Meanwhile note that princpal values of returnable payment for any homes often end up being inflated up to 300% or more from compound interest alone, or all kinds of penalties etc. even at 3 decade timeframes.
Suggest that a flat application of 120% of value without any appliable ‘penalties’ for late payment be applicable hereon (for humanity’s sake thats just a HOME why the hell are you 99%ters voting people who write these laws?!?) AND that the timeframe is unlimited though only a single home may be indebted to at anytime – and for ‘House Exchanges’ WITHOUT the middleman bureaucrat or sales agent be overseen by the state for people who need to move conveniently and quickly.All 99% voters should vote only for people who will amend tax laws to the above form against the above issues.

“Mind melds” move from science fiction to science in rats – by Sharon Begley | Reuters – 4th March 2013
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The scientists call it a “brain link,” and it is the closest anyone has gotten to a real-life “mind meld”: the thoughts of a rat romping around a lab in Brazil were captured by electronic sensors and sent via Internet to the brain of a rat in the United States.
The result: the second rat received the thoughts of the first, mimicking its behavior, researchers reported on Thursday in Scientific Reports, a journal of the Nature Publishing Group.
Adding to its science-fiction feel, the advance in direct brain-to-brain communication could lay the foundation for what Duke University Medical Center neurobiologist Miguel Nicolelis, who led the research, calls an “organic computer” in which multiple brains are linked to solve problems solo brains can’t.
If that sounds like an ethical minefield, several experts think so too, especially since Nicolelis is now working on brain-to-brain communication between monkeys.
“Having non-human primates communicate brain-to-brain raises all sorts of ethical concerns,” said one neuroscientist, who studies how brains handle motor and sensory information, but who asked not to be named. “Reading about putting things in animals’ brains and changing what they do, people rightly get nervous,” envisioning battalions of animal soldiers – or even human soldiers – whose brains are remotely controlled by others.
That could make drone warfare seem as advanced as muskets.
Nicolelis’s lab received $26 million from the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for work on brain-machine interfaces, as this field is called.
The linked rat brains in the study built on 15 years of research in brain-machine interfaces. These interfaces take electrical signals generated from the brains of severely-paralyzed people and translate them into commands that move a mechanical arm, a computer cursor or even the patient’s own arm.
Such work led Nicolelis to ask, can one brain decode the electrical signals generated by another?
The answer – at least for rats – was yes.
CODED SIGNALS
In one experiment, the Duke researchers trained rats destined to be message senders, or encoders, to press a lever when a red light above them turned on. Doing so earned the animals a sip of water. Rats intended to be message receivers, or decoders, were trained to press a lever when the scientists electrically stimulated their brains via implants.
The scientists next connected the rats’ brains directly, inserting microelectrodes roughly one-hundredth the width of a human hair. Now when an encoding rat saw the red light and pressed the lever, its brain activity sped directly into the brains of seven decoder rats.
The decoders did not see a red light. Nevertheless, they usually pressed the correct lever and earned their after-work libation. The encoder rats got the same treat, reaping the rewards of their partners’ success.
The encoder rat did not get that reward if a decoder rat goofed. In that case, the encoder rat, apparently realizing what had happened, seemed to concentrate harder on its task: it decided more quickly to choose the correct lever and quashed extraneous thoughts so as not to muddy the signal with, perhaps, daydreams about escaping the lab or pressing the wrong lever.
As a result, the signal got louder and sharper, and the decoder rats made fewer mistakes.
“The encoder basically changed its brain function to make the signal cleaner and easier for its partner to get it right,” Nicolelis said.
Videos of the experiments are available at http://www.nicolelislab.net, and the paper is at http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/srep01319
The researchers also trained pairs of rats to distinguish a narrow opening from a wide one using their whiskers. The animals learned to poke a water port on the left side of the chamber with their nose if they sensed a narrow opening, and a port on the right if they sensed a wide opening.
As with the lever press, when the brain waves that signified “narrow door” traveled from the encoder rat to the decoder rat, the latter usually poked the correct port.
In these experiments, the rats were in Nicolelis’s lab at Duke and their brains were connected by long, thin wires. To show the reach of brain waves, the scientists re-ran the experiments with encoder rats in Natal, Brazil, and decoder rats at Duke. The brain signals traveled over the Internet. But even with the resulting noise, the mind melds usually succeeded.
‘COMPLETE FANTASY’
Some other researchers were not impressed. For one thing, the Internet aspect is not novel: in a previous study, electrical activity in the brain of a monkey at Duke was sent via the Internet and controlled a robot arm in Japan.
Neurobiologist Andrew Schwartz of the University of Pittsburgh, a leader in the field of brain-computer interactions, said that “from a scientific/engineering point of view, this is of limited interest.” Brain-machine interfaces “have moved far beyond this.”
“It’s cool that the stimulus came from another brain” rather than an electrical device, agreed bioengineer Douglas Weber of Pittsburgh. But “many labs have shown that animals can detect electrical stimuli delivered to the brain. This paper simply shows that the animals can detect electrical stimuli… from another rat’s brain. There is nothing unexpected or surprising.”
The Duke team sees the study as a step toward what lead author Miguel Pais-Vieira calls “a workable network of animal brains.” They are currently trying to link four rats’ brains and (separately) two monkeys’ brains, each in what Nicolelis calls a “brain-net.”
“Wiring brains together to accomplish something useful strikes me as a fantasy,” said neuroscientist Lee Miller of the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University, whose brain-machine research is intended to help paralyzed patients move.
Asked how likely it is that one day human brains would be linked, Nicolelis said: “I wouldn’t mind if, 100 years from now, people say two rats started human brain nets.”

Between spiritual theory and neurotech, we find mankind at the very verge of losing freedom entirely as a species to be controlled by 1% plutocrats and technocrats or term limitless nepotists and oligarchs, please vote with care 99%ters, this could be the last chance that the 99% gets to crack open their Technology Ministry’s dark intent for humanity. Never vote for anyone wealthy, or term limitless or nepotistic or technologically too full of secrets – mindcontrol technology via cellphone satellite tech and nanaoparticulates are already here. One person risked their sanity and perhaps spirit to bring you this information, do vote properly or humanity will indeed be a victin of their own refusal to do an increasingly impossible TECHNOLGICAL AUDIT by voting out MPs, Representatives, Senators or Governors and Ministers who are keeping the populations suppressed with cellphone tech and nanoparticulates first through the supposedly ‘insane’ but later EVERYONE – except politicians themselves!
From coroborrated evidence and trial and error by a certain ‘control subject’ who was intentionally sabotaged and labelled a potential (if not already marked as) psychiatric subject, I believe that the ‘nanofibre based brain broadcast/miniroting technology ‘has already been used on so-called ‘psychiatric patients’ (also political dissidents) worldwide to ‘help’ make MPs or politicians in the know smarter be effectively reading and imprinting thoughts or mindsets (even stealing sub/super-consciousnesses) while scrambling thoughts and mindsets of the patients later.
In this particular control subject’s case, unfortunately for the establishment, who happens to be a Qigong master in ‘Mind-fu’ (bends mind literally) and ACTUAL Telekinesis, who happens AS WELL to be a political dissident activist which thoughts are much present in this blog . . . the deaths and ‘temporary insanity’ of the receipients occured instead when the incompatibale subconcious/superconscious attacks the political host – eventually they staged a car accident in 2006 and performed a lobotomy or inserted implants in the person’s brain – now a certain broadcast is being made all the time to the cellphones or even perhaps brains of other implanted persons who can ‘sense’ this Qi-Master’s presence from afar – the message is however modified to broadcast a general insult directed against the person. More and more subjects were ‘bound to’ this person but being young and fairly healthy as well as given an impeccable and also reversed as well as a variable sense of timimg and biological pattern, the truths were discovered by that person (with points 6 and 7 more theoretical and uncertain by viable from what the person has experienced if not actual physical implants inserted in the person’s spinal chord and brain) :
1) Microfibre Needles 1/100th of the size of the thickness of a human hair are being inserted in ALL countries using the forced military draft conscription or theocracy in government (nominally, ALL microstates in the world arte propagation sites for this form of technology, self replicatig technology
2) Microfibre Needles are being inserted in ALL newborn children in any country which is not considered Human Rights Compliant (i.e. Malaysia which has social economic apartheid, Singapore which is a technocratic dictatorship, the Middle east where religion is enforced tightly, or who knows even Thailand where Buddhism is a state religion and all persons of age are forced to become MONKS)
3) Microfibre Needles are only activiated in ALL labelled as psychiatric patients or all considered dissident activists (who might be conveniently labelled as psychiatric patients as well)
4) nanoparticles in food and water are being used to enhance signal strength in all persons in such countries
5) cellphones are able to activate all nanoparticlaes and in as soon as 3-5 years of infusion
6) if a person in question does not regularly ‘clear their subarachnoid space spinal fluid’ (which also leads to the brain) by not having sex, at certain saturation points the particles can proliferate sufficently to allow control
7) the bio-energic effect of an orgasm is able to ‘mini-EMP’ these nanodrones which can be recharged externally and reactivated again, multiple orgasm can send the drones out faster but in general few people have sex that often or frequently
The solution is to vote out all governemnts cllaing themselcves ‘Technocratic’ or which are peopled by term limitless, oligarchs or plutocrats or technology linked personalities with or withough links in the technology sector. When all MPs are not from the above group which we shall say makes up 1% or less than 1% of the population, the 99%ters will be able to open up and release to the public all ‘secret files’ in the Technology Ministry, covered by Official Technology Secrets Acts AND then reverse engineer the same within the public sphere to seek a cure. Very likley ‘Cerebrospinal Fluid’ cleansing nanotech can be applied, ‘Blood’ cleaning nanotech as well.
Currently the main bulk of this Qi-Master’s mind resides in the local and other wildlife further away, apparently this particalar being has been reborn countless times and has been around so long that even the migratory whales and weather systems, even extra terrestial gravity fields and Solar energies are affected (‘Dragons ate the Sun daily some say . . . and there will be 10 when he dies, at that point, the Earth will become an unliveable ‘Crematorian’ crisp . . . ‘).This person is ‘fortunately’ (or unfortunately) under a form of satellite suppression in his opinion, and has not found the means of removing all nanoparticles except by suggesting that the 99% voters seek remedy by removal of orwellian politicians term limitless and nepotistic. Perhaps the civilisation of man will appease
Note that all the above is very much possible and considering that this person has been at loggerheads with the Neuroscience Institute at Singapore (a microstate) for a long period of time (the institute is run by Dictator Lee Kuan Yew’s daughter AND that persons father is a failed apparatchik ((with a similar phenotype to Anwar)) of Lee’s government who has strong links to DAP which is also not favoured by after discovering that Karpal Singh (neck injury), Lim Kit Siang (eye blindness) and Anwar (spinal injury from Mahathir’s era) have been using his lifeforce to heal themselves), but later ‘downgraded’ to chip implanted dogs and cats very cruelly to attempt to make ths person more pliable (this resulted in seperation of sub/super consciousness from the body (the person claims being unable to dream from the neurosuppressive effect of the drug) – the subject can claim only visits on occasion when the super/subconsciousness feels ‘safe’ – the entire neighbourhood and parts of the population locally has particpated to some degree at manipulating out of greed wonderworking which resulted in other spectacular systematic and technolgical failures in response . . . ) . . .
Via the China hated Falungong Sect which Malaysia has allowed here (probably in a snub to China who fears the Aum Shinrikyo (currently known as Aleph – stolen directly from the OTO’s deceased A.C.’s spiritual ‘progeny’ with the subject – (both are male – this is not about how gay egregors are but how spiritual theft is endemic in the Occult world and Spiritual Courts are non existent in the actual one – all conduct is at the point of a spiritual point as ‘Daughter’ found and ‘Son’ learnt . . . ) propensity of the group who has sat by and not challenged apartheid in Malaysia in any case but parasited on healthy people to heal unhealthy ones in Malaysia as well as associated with the Dalai Llama etc. with intent at causing chaos in China via various attempts at ‘wonderworking’ disasters, which the Qi-Master while still diminished is helping China to abate effects (at least until the tables turn . . .). ‘At the end of this physical life,’ said he, ‘there will be hell to pay and souls to collect . . .’, when the vessel breaks the world ends, and since Pandora has escaped through the cracks with all this technological meddling, mankind looks set for a quick if not sudden end if the 99% voters do not act where the 1% merely abused.
Vote non-orwellian politicians, term limited and non-nepotistic who are neither plutocrats or technocrats so that those technology Ministries and tech Firms can be opened up! Do you want your children to be mind controlled by their DNA coupled to some satellite cell-tech broadcasts alone in the not too distant future? This could be a criminal indictment on mankind’s existence . . .

Naked rambler nude and nicked again – AP – March 02, 2013 9:14AM
A British man who has spent most of the past decade naked – and in jail – was back behind bars Friday after defying an order to cover up.
Stephen Gough, known as the “Naked Rambler,” was arrested Thursday as he left a court in Southampton, southern England, wearing only boots, socks and a knapsack.
A judge had just imposed an order that he must “wear sufficient clothing in public to at least cover his genitalia and buttocks.”
The 54-year-old former Royal Marine appeared at the same court Friday, and was ordered detained until a hearing on March 25.
Since 2003 Gough has completed two naked walks the length of Britain, with frequent interruptions for arrests, court appearances and jail time.
Prosecution lawyer Roger Trencher said Friday that Gough “has caused much offense nationwide and he has used a considerable amount of police time in England, Wales and Scotland.”
Gough has said he believes nudity is a human right. Defense lawyer Jeffrey Norie-Mille told the court that Gough “believes it is his right not to wear clothes and go about his normal activities in that state of undress.”
There is no law in Britain against public nudity. However, there are laws against indecent exposure or behavior likely to cause “harassment, alarm or distress.”
Gough has served multiple sentences for appearing nude in public places including courts and an airplane.
He could face up to five years in jail for breaching the no-nudity command, known as an Anti-Social Behavior Order

. . . must “wear sufficient clothing in public to at least cover his genitalia and buttocks.” AND YET There is no law in Britain against public nudity. Oxymoron alert!
NUDITY presupposes specifically uncovered genitalia and buttocks! One is NOT NUDE unless one’s genitalia and buttocks are uncovered. So since there is no law in Britain against public nudity, Stephen Gough has committed no offense! This judgment is based on an oxymoron or misinterpretation! Indecent exposure or behavior likely to cause “harassment, alarm or distress is a way of behaviour which Gough was not doing by just walking. A right not to wear clothes and go about his normal activities in that state of undress which is based on no law against public nudity, means that Gough cannot even be given an ASBO and in fact could demand restitution for earlier cases as being biased due to fundamentalust sense of moraality o the part of the judges which attacks the law for the part where there is no law in Briitain against public nudity!
However, there are laws against indecent exposure or behavior likely to cause “harassment, alarm or distress.”
Lets say if this was based on the pleasure that beautiful people in porn bring to the masses, public sex could be legal and only those considered less than aesthetic would be likely to to cause “harassment, alarm or distress.” In Gough’s case, Gough was doing the minimal, JUST WALKING. How could anyone haul Gould up on any charge at all?

Google’s Sergey Brin Calls Smartphones ‘Emasculating’ – by Owen Thomas, Business Insider – Feb. 27, 2013, 7:35 PM | 5,179 | 23
We get that smartphones can be inconvenient and annoying. But “emasculating”?
That’s what Google cofounder Sergey Brin said Wednesday in a presentation at TED, a technology conference in Long Beach, Calif., CNET reports.
He was making the case for Google Glass, Google’s Internet-connected headset, which can snap photos, record video, and display information on demand.
“You’re just rubbing a featureless piece of glass,” Brin said.
We think Brin made a tragically poor choice of words here, for which he should apologize at the next available opportunity.
“Alienating” would have been fine.
It’s true that smartphones require you to look down at a small screen, cutting you off from the world around you.
But “emasculating” suggests that Google Glass is somehow a more “manly” piece of technology, which is just wrong, and off-key—especially when Google’s industrial-design team has done such fine work to create a good-looking gadget that can and should appeal to men and women equally.
With Brin doing smart things to promote Google Glass to consumers, like showing up at the Vanity Fair Oscars party wearing the headset—you know, like it’s totally not a big deal—it’s a shame he’s not watching his words a little more carefully.
In related news, Brin recently wore a Lululemon athletic top to the announcement of a biotech prize in San Francisco.
It went perfectly with his Google Glass headset.

Sergey here has a point, and Business Insider has just shown their mindlessly ‘pro-MSM-Feminist’ side by trying to put the spin on Brin’s very correct assessment. That ‘pad’ NLP alludes to the female form the tablet takes, and the way the touch sensitive panel is, IS most definitely female or ‘clitorate’ to be obtusely crude. Emasculating is a most appropriate term. How about a dildo shaped JOYSTICK controller instead?
Whats scary is if they even further feminise the already female device even further and we wind up with a panel with a hole we poke with our finger to activate whatever (general stab in x direction for what commands etc.) . . . ergonomics might make the iPad or Galaxy Note into a woman’s ‘part’, and the devices being so close to so many people’s hearts would doubtless imprint the sense of feminity in the device on the user – the poor guys need something stick shaped, preferably with the danglies represented somehow . . .! Sergey is certainly aware! Could some developer build a Dildo shaped Joystick Phone (with physical dials and buttons) please AND for further masculinisation incorporate a KNIFE and a GUN as well (yes Tasers are female, sorry thats true . . . so says the bi-labial electrificating device in lieu of a machine based fricative . . . ) . . . theres your dose of phallicism and so-called misogyny for the day.

Google’s Sergey Brin claims using a smartphone is ’emasculating’ – but (unsuprisingly) says its £1,000 glasses will solve the problem
Billionaire Brin claimed that using phones was a ‘nervous tic’
Accused users of ‘standing around and rubbing a piece of glass’
Asked ‘Is this the way you’re meant to interact with other people?’
Google employees wearing the gadget in San Francisco have already been dubbed ‘Glassholes’

Mobile phones are the fastest growing area of Google’s business – yet co-founder Sergey Brin said today he though they were ’emasculating’.
The Google boss told a stunned audience at the TED conference in Long Beach he saw phone users as ‘hunched up, looking down, rubbing a featureless piece of glass.’
‘It’s kind of emasculating – Is this what you’re meant to do with your body?’
Google co-founder Sergey Brin wearing his Google Glass computer. Today he said the experience of using a smartphone was ’emasculating’
He claims the answer, perhaps unsurprisingly, is Google’s much-publicised Glass project, a £1,000 wearable computer set to go on sale this year.
‘When we started Google 15 years ago,’ Brin said, ‘my vision was that information would come to you as you need it.
‘You wouldn’t have to search query at all.’
However, he claims the reality has proved to be very different.
‘Is this the way you’re meant to interact with other people? Is the future of connection just people walking around hunched up, looking down, rubbing a featureless piece of glass?’
‘It’s kind of emasculating. Is this what you’re meant to do with your body?’
Brin also revealed his own mobile phone addiction during the talk.
‘I have a nervous tic,’ he said. ‘The cell phone is a nervous habit. If I smoked, I’d probably smoke instead, It’d look cooler.
‘But I whip this out and look as if I have something important to do.
‘It really opened my eyes to how much of my life I spent secluding myself away in email.’ Brin wears Google Glass glasses at an announcement for the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences – he is rarely pictured without them.

For a moment I thought we had a cool guy there, nope Sergeys not so cool after all.
