Politics & Government - 28 July 2007

BBC Panorama aired on the 23rd of July with a programme describing the immigration crisis recently hitting the UK. It suggested that the government figures were wrong and that there are actually a lot more people coming to the UK than leaving. With councils receiving limited funding based on these government figures a lot of pensioners etc are finding their benefits are being cut and in some cases, services that were foc are now too expensive for these people to afford. How do we rectify this problem to ensure that our children, the natives are still going to receive the benefits that we have worked so hard for i.e. free schools and NHS. Should the UK have a visa system for europeans as well as the rest of the world and should we only be accepting skilled workers?

I doubt they are just trying to be good environmentalists.

I'm very liberal.. But even I may be on board with this.. Do you think we should take the troops out of Iraq and go after our "real" enemies (Saudi Arabia)?? Seriously... Something needs to be done about them.. That should be the priority, not countries like Iraq and Iran or Syria that do nothing to us... I say take their punk azzes out, before it's too late...

For 2 years a have a dispute with a small corporation I used to work for. The management pushes me to make the disclosures, which I refuse. Recently they file a civil suit against another ex-employee (in my opinion completely groundless) and send me a subpoena to demonstrate everything I have regarding the company. This lawsuit has nothing to do with me. What do I do? Can I object subpoena? The disclosure they ask for has nothing to do with the lawsuit.

In reality, isn't all it's saying is to reduce our oil consumption and focus on getting cleaner and more efficiant fuel? Which would help the environment all together.. What is so wrong about that? I don't get what the outrage is really about..

If a defense atorney proves that the main prosecution witness who is also the accuser has lied to the jury over ten times (such as lied about being assaulted before) and other important things would the witness lose credibility with the jury?

My friend and I are having a discussion about open containers, and we were wondering if you can drink any alcoholic beverage out on your porch, front yard etc. without citation or getting arrested, if you are of legal age? Please only informational answers, and if you don't really know, don't post anything. Thank you.

Fred Thompson is a CFR member. Rudy Giuliani is a CFR member. Mitt Romney is a CFR member. Hillary Clinton is a CFR member. Barak Obama is a CFR member. The Council on Foreign Relations seems to dominate our government, Democrat or Republican! All of the "top tier" candidates are CFR puppets, with only one exception, RON PAUL. The CFR has been promoting one world government since the orgaization was founded in 1921.


from http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/cfr_and_trilateral_commission.htm :
-----------------------------------------------
"In 1944 and in 1948, the Republican candidate for President, Thomas Dewey, was a CFR member. In later years, Republicans Eisenhower and Nixon were members of the CFR, as were Democrats Stevenson, Kennedy, Humphrey, and McGovern. (Note: We believe Kennedy became disloyal to the CFR prior to his assassination.) The American people think that they have a choice when they vote for a President, but the truth of the matter is, with few exceptions: Presidential candidates for decades have been CFR members.

The CFR not only has its members in the United States Government, but its influence has also spead to other vital areas of American life. According to Newell: 'Its members have run, or are running, NBC and CBS, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Des Moines Register, and many other important newspapers. The leaders of Time, Newsweek, Fortune, Business Week, and numerous other publications are CFR members. The organization’s members also dominate the academic world, top corporations, the huge tax-exempt foundations, labor unions, the military, and just about every segment of American life.'

(My note: It is no wonder that the media calls those who call out CFR members "conspiracy theorists," given that they are themselves CFR members.)

Barry Goldwater states in his book, 'With No Apologies', on page 231:

'Does it not seem strange to you that these men just happened to be CFR and just happened to be on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, that absolutely controls the money and interest rates of this great country without benefit of Congress? A privately owned organization, the Federal Reserve, which has absolutely nothing to do with the United States of America!'

and Newell continues to write: 'Not every member of the CFR is fully committed to carrying out Edward Mandell House’s conspiratorial plan. Many have been flattered by an invitation to join a study group, which is what the CFR calls itself. Others go along because of personal benefits, such as a nice job and a new importance. But all are used to promote the destruction of U.S. sovereignty.' "
------------------------------------------------

The Europeans were fooled into forming the EU, and the EU is trying to create its own constitution now, which would be above the laws of every formerly sovereign country. Most Europeans are against the EU creating it's own constitution, but the EU has refused to give up. Italian President Giorgio Napolitano told a news conference in Siena that "those who are anti EU are terrorists". In the US, when you are labeled a "terrorist," you are opened up to all of the tyranny that the USA PATRIOT ACT offers. You can be sure that you would see the NAU speaking the same way that President Napolitano has been speaking.

My former foster family & my biological family used to physically abuse me, & I'm talking about writing an autobiography. & when I seek advice on how to go about doing that, people tell me that my families have the right to sue me for slander.

How is that & I'm telling the truth?

That's like if a woman was raped & wrote an autobiography on her life & included it in the book, & people would tell her that the rapist had every right to sue her for slander. That's not fair.

When I was waching the news, I saw all this people rallying for residency in the USA. But I know that all the immigrants that come the USA, do not want to leave their countries, culture, and language. Why they do not do the same thing they do here in their own countries and make their country better.

People on both sides of the issue have expressed concern with the fact our government seems to leave people in the dark on any types of reforms they vote on.So I have an idea.Instead of only calling to say you do or don't support something how about calling or writing and TELLING them we want some input on this issue.That they need to put everything on the table months before hand and allow citizens to vote on it.Wouldn't that be more of what our country is based on than having a few making ALL decisions affecting us?

I know already some are going to say that's why we elect our Senators etc.but they don't always represent the whole either.Many pander to special interest groups.I think with certain issues Americans should have the right to vote on them.Especially when it's issues that affect our livelyhoods and life styles.
What do you think?

Doesn't that stretch reason? Was he shooting at the helicopters? Did he sabotage them? Were the choppers forced to avoid him? I know you are as guilty of murder if your accomplice actually committed it, and you must knowing place police officers at risk when you flee from them, but how could you be responsible for either mechanical malfunctions or pilot error leading to a crash a few hundred feet away from you?
