Bodies Of The Dead Not Being Buried As Effects Of Credit Crunch Spread Across Britain 'The spectre of the Winter of Discontent threatened to return to haunt Labour last night after funeral directors revealed that the burial of 'hundreds' of bodies is being delayed for financial reasons. Undertakers hit by the credit crunch are refusing to carry out funerals until the Department for Work and Pensions has confirmed it will foot the bill. In a bleak new sign of the growing economic crisis, hard-up families are having to wait more than two months before receiving Government money for funerals.' What The Economic Crisis Has To Do With The Large Hadron Collider 'The very day the US securities and exchange commission, fearing catastrophic collapse of the US stock market, banned short selling, the Large Hadron Collider in Europe allegedly suffered a catastrophic failure…' Council Spends £400,000 Teaching Staff To 'Think Positively' Using Paul McKenna Techniques 'Hundreds of county council staff are to be taught how to think positively using controversial psychological training techniques endorsed by TV hypnotist Paul McKenna.A town hall is spending £1,000 a head to send 400 staff on a 'leadership improvement programme' in which workers will be taught to 'adopt a successful mindset'.The courses, for all grades of staff from manual workers to managers, include techniques used by celebrity hypnotist Paul McKenna. The course involves a technique called 'neuro-linguistic programming', which was developed in the 1970s and which is supposed to bring psychological strength to those who receive it. Critics call the technique a fake and say its claims are dressed up to appear scientifically respectable. Suffolk's spending priorities have attracted increasing local attention over the past few days.' Council Spends £5000 On Signs In Braille ... For Non-Existent Blind Squash Players 'Council chiefs spent more than £5,000 on Braille signs to advise squash players which sports shoes were acceptable and about safety on court. One player at Halesowen Leisure Centre in the West Midlands said: 'While blind people participate in all kinds of sport, including football, they don't play squash. 'So I can't understand why the signs in the squash court area are in Braille.' The Royal National Institute of Blind People said: 'Blind and visually-impaired people are able to play many sports but not squash.' Tony Blair Should Face Humiliating Grilling Over F1 'Cover-Up', Say MPs 'Tony Blair could face a humiliating recall to Parliament to explain devastating secret documents suggesting he did not tell the truth over New Labour's first sleaze scandal. Tory MPs want the former Prime Minister to face a grilling over evidence showing he personally ordered Formula 1 be exempted from a tobacco advertising ban just hours after meeting the motorsport's billionaire boss. The Government has always maintained that the meeting with Bernie Ecclestone - who had donated £1 million to Labour - had nothing do to with the decision.'Monday, 13 October 2008 Monday, 13 October 2008 Monday, 13 October 2008 Monday, 13 October 2008
Bankruptcy, Theft & Fear
'Why does the U.S. ruling elite en masse accept passively the Rothschild kleptastrophe? The answer is simple. Our ruling elite are no longer domestic factory owners, they no longer control productive capactiy in the US. There are no domestic capitalists left in the USA. They have exchanged ownership in real wealth for speculative international portfolios at the mercy of the Money Power. They sold out to the Rothshild-Rockefeller-Zhou credit monopoly and are fully invested in China ventures. They have tied their fortunes to the destruction of the United States economy and people. They go along because they have nowhere else to go, they have no feet of their own to stand on.
EU Steps Up Pressure On Ireland To Hold Second Lisbon Treaty Referendum 'Brian Cowen, Ireland's Prime Minister, must explain to a summit of Europe's leaders next Wednesday how he is planning to resuscitate the EU Treaty, which was rejected by Irish voters in June. While the final decision will be taken in December, Mr Cowen will hear demands from France and Germany that a second referendum take place as early as March 2009, before European elections. Brussels diplomats have warned Ireland that it is isolated after angering other EU countries, such as Britain, by taking controversial financial crisis measures that benefited Irish banks while "dumping on others". "The economy might be going into freefall and the Irish really did not help things. Sympathy for their difficulties is running out," said a diplomat.' Glenn Beck - One World Currency Is The Desired Outcome The European Union - Criminalising Free Speech 'As Statewatch pointed out in its analysis of the proposal, the wording of this definition is clearly likely to result in the criminalisation of the expression of political views (for example on the situation in Middle East or on certain conflicts within Member States), even if that expression does not in any way include the advocacy of terrorism to support those opinions.2 It will be enough that the authorities deem that there is a “danger” that this will happen, an actual terrorist offence as a consequence is expressly not necessary for the Framework Decision to apply.' Five NATO Generals Prepare For World Government 'In January 2008, five former NATO generals presented a preparatory document for the NATO summit meeting at Bucharest. Their proposals reflect a terrifying tendency. And what gives weight to their document is that, up until recently, all of them held very high positions. General John Shalikashvili was US Chief of Staff and Commander in Chief of NATO in Europe, General Klaus Naumann ran the German army and was president of the military committe of NATO in Europe, General Henk van den Breemen was chief of the Dutch Chief of Staff and Admiral Jacques Lanxade held the same post in France, while Lord Inge ran the General Staff and was also Chief of the Defence Staff of Great Britain. This is just the big shots - and very aggressive they are too, as we shall see.' Barclays Faces Paris Money Laundering Trial 'Societe Generale, the French unit of Barclays and two other banks are to face trial in Paris on charges that they abetted a money laundering operation between France and Israel, judicial officials said yesterday. About 100 individuals, including the chief executive of Societe Generale, Daniel Bouton, and other senior bank executives have been charged in the case. No date for the trial was announced.'Sunday, 12 October 2008
