Clarence Mitchell has denied that the Tapas group got together to coordinate their versions of events and insisted that it was just "..a get together of friends who find themselves at the centre of a story." So that is what Madeleines disappearance is to them, " a story". I think that those are the truest words he has ever spoken. Poor Madeleine, just a story.
Incidently the meeting was held in the Rothley Court Hotel, built in the 11th Century by The Holy Order of Knights Templars.

My question is this, Don't you find Clarences description of Madeleines disappearance as just a story disturbing? and do you think Gerry is a mason or a Knights Templar.

BATON ROUGE, La. - Authorities say a Springfield woman was booked on attempted murder counts for allegedly shooting two men whose dog damaged Christmas decorations at her home. Ethel Shannon McKinney, 28, was booked on two counts of attempted second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon, Jason Ard, a spokesman for the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Department, said.

McKinney and her boyfriend got into an argument with the men over the damaged decorations, and McKinney allegedly fired at the men, Ard said.

One man was hit in the upper torso and arm; the other, in an arm. Ard said none of the injuries were life threatening.

The incident happened around 9:30 p.m. Sunday.

McKinney's boyfriend, Audie Ray Criswell, was booked on two counts of aggravated assault and with disturbing the peace, Ard said.

It seems that a dictatorship will arise, not as an exterior imposition. But one demanded as an imposition from the citizens themselves. This will not happen from one moment to the next, lest a nuclear bomb levels a city. It will happen gradually, from one day to the next it would seem.

Take oil for instance. It would have been helpful, economically, if someone had imposed an 'oil' tax some years ago to inoculate the population and start directing people to a more fuel efficient consumption. The oil tax could have been acheived by say, taxing single drivers so people would use greater mass transportation (buss), etc. However, democratically, the measure was voted down because it was not popular at the time.

What happened? A few years later, the price of gas rises due to the greater demand, and a NATURAL tax is imposed on the population through a higher gas price. Perhaps nowadays, people would be willing to vote in a bill that would tax, say, hummers.

Why? It can be about anything- the war in Iraq, economy, immigration policies, education system, etc. ALSO, do you feel that the US is losing its status in the world as a political and economic superpower? Does this have to do with American youth today (in terms of math and science)? (Im doing this as a personal study, not educational).

This Saturday (15th December), there's supposed to be some fuel protests. How about some enterprising freedom-fighters hijack this event in an attempt to overthrow the present fascist regime and give some real power to the people?

Meet at Tooting Broadway station, 10am.

I'm really confused towards the fact that we are combating terrorism and somehow iraq and iran got involved. The Iraq war was wrong and I think at least 50% of America knows that. But is Iran a threat to America Directly? I really dont think so but the media tells us some information that sounds truthful and some bull$hit. What you think? Is it really worth going to war with Iran?

Security guard justified or not?
Happened Saturday night. A masked man wearing body armor carrying a sawed off shotgun burst into a Winn Dixie grocery store with accomplices. He shoots through the roof then shoots through the office door trying to get in. An off duty Kennedy Space Center security guard saw what was happening and went to his car and retrieved his handgun. The assailant was confronted by the security guard as he (robber) was attempting to flee out an emergency exit. Here it get's sketchy but the robber ends up getting shot in the chest by the guard. Too bad he had body armor on, he's in the hospital in good condition instead of DRT, (Dead Right There)!
The security guard was ticketed for having a gun in public. Was the guard justified in the action he took?

Derek Brown also goes by Derek Brown, Greg Johnson, Harline Johnson, and Greg Harline Johnson.

This lovely person allegedly shot and killed an armored car guard leaving a Phoenix movie theater three years ago, took about $56,000 in cash, and then sped away on a mountain bike. He hasn’t been seen since.
Brown shot the guard at least five times in the head at close range with a barrage of bullets. The man—a young father—died at the scene. Brown was later charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery, and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading directly to his capture.
