News & Events - July 2007

Mine is reading. I used to read so much, a book every 3 days, now I cant remember the last time I read more than the paper, or a quick magazine.
Any other stories?

It's to bad that the 9/11 commission did not get started for over 400 days. Maybe if the majority of the evidence had not been destroyed those kooky conspiracy theorist could be proved wrong about the bombs.

Anyway today is the 11th of the month and I shall spend the day at the post office talking with people from my community about 9/11 and the omission commission and many other facts that have not been debunked for they have been formed from the official story or lack there of.

If a person has a criminal record, what are the chances of getting a visa from the uk for a us holiday? This person was in prison for 8 monhs after a car accident. Thank you

I have been told that the person probably won't get a visa from the US simply becaus they have a criminal record. Is this the case or does it depend on the actual reason for the prison sentence? I'm so worried!

Sorry to post this in Current events, but I really need advise.

I won't publicise his name, but BBC News 24 & Sky News have since yesterday been broadcasting each hour the recorded message of a foreign Imam who is being sought for inciting terrorist attacks in the UK. His full sick message is being played in Arabic with written English subtitles & sometimes also with a verbal English translation.

I'd like to know how the news channels think this is of public benefit & WHY they broadcast it? These terrorist leaders don't need illegal websites or distribution networks anymore, because the BBC & Sky publicise them for free to the nation for all their followers to hear! Surely we need to impose strict laws about this to stop such messages being aired on UK TV? I feel so angry about it. The BBC didn't broadcast Nazi propaganda during WW2 so why do they publicise terrorist messages these days?

In the UK today 4 failed suicide bombers whose guilt is unquestionable & who would have potentially killed & maimed hundreds if their bombs exploded were sentenced to a minimum of 40 years each in a UK prison. We're also due to have a similar trial in the future for those who failed with the latest attacks using gas/nail devices in cars.

1. Is it right that the UK taxpayer will now PAY approx. £42K for EACH failed bomber's stay in jail EACH year & that the home countries of these FOREIGN nationals will not be asked to pay a penny towards their prison bill, considering how overcrowded & financially stretched our prisons are already? Is this fair justice for us, or punishment for them?
2. In cases such as these ALONE should the death penalty be introduced where the failed bombers guilt is unquestionable & where he intended to kill himself anyway? If not, why?

'Leaving no stone unturned'

I think the McCanns would have a hard time defending this action if it was ever brought against them.

Zheng Xiaoyu....
who was at some time or another ...
Head of the State Drug Administration from 1994 to 2008 and then from 1998 to 2003 Head of State Drug Administration and then finally from 2003 until 2005 State Food and Drug Administration ................

was found guilty of tainting products....

...a practice that can be common in Russia and China where companies substitute ingredients with either contrabanned substitutes in order to reduce costs or make profit which may have a direct consequence of ones health..in Russia some brands of Vodka are examples...

In May 2007 he was convicted of taking bribes and other corruption and of substituting diethylene glycol instead of glycerin in cough syrup that led to 40 deaths in Panama...

as a result and after an appeal for the severity of sentence was rejected due to bad image that endangered China with this crime

......... Zheng Xiaoyu.... was summarily executed by hanging.....................

Personally, I am so sick of hearing from Michael Moore. He is right on somethings like health care (needs to be better in the US) but other things he isn't so "honest" about.

I felt bad for Woof the other night and I felt bad for Dr. Grupta tonight. When Dr Grupta tried to present points Moore literally pouted. And for a few seconds refused to say anything. Personally, that isn't how you "win" in a debate, pout that your not being heard.

Frankly, I believe CNN over Moore any day. He just seems so one sided and it's hard to take him at his word when he does the exact same stuff that he says the US (or Bush) do. *shrugs*

Whats your opinion? I am interested. I respect the fact if you do feel differently. =)

The latest sky video of Robert Murat leaving the police station in Portugal shows a man that I think bears little resemblence to the original pictures of the said RM. Is it me or is this a different bloke?

Do you like it? Well, get used to it. Because that’s the message you are sending to the rest of the world at the moment, especially to your enemies. That oily rag-head Bin Laden must be rubbing his hands with joy at the moment sensing that he is about to force the greatest nation in the world to turn and run. America declared ‘War on Terror’, and LOST!

Just what the hell is going on with your Congress at the moment? These people don’t care about your solders in the field, 9/11 or your future security. All they care about is scoring points against George Bush. They want to bring down Bush at any price. Did you really vote for this?

Please, sort these people out. Every time they attack Bush in this way they are causing more US troops to die. Your enemy is growing in confidence and support because of this and will carry out bigger and bolder attacks against your troops. Deal with them and quickly, time is running out. Otherwise this is going to be far worse than Vietnam. Because this is a battle none of us can afford to lose.

This is not the America I know and Love.

A Britt.

I thought Liberals wanted equal rights to all. I thought Liberals claimed being morally superior to other parties. How is leaving a nation to die at the hands of extremist considered to be moral?

I watched the news all day that day, and I could swear that I had heard about other planes that had been high-jacked that day, as well as car bombs. I have asked a few people and some people do recall other planes being mentioned as being high-jacked. I asked one guy and he sadi they are no longer mentioned because the US government chose to shoot them down. Has anyone elso heard this?
