[liberty] more tales from sphere

There's such a bewildering array of things wrong at this juncture in our history. From non-President Obama to the death of Britain, if it's wrong, it becomes policy. If the government touches it, it goes pear-shaped. And behind the government, the clandestine DARPA [Facebook], Common Purpose [and here and here] and schemes like Citizen's Juries and State Child Mentoring, all working away, working away, to create the international totalitarian socialism they love so much. This goes into more detail about them and thanks to those who supplied data for this post. Here is the mindset of these people. And Steve, PC is very much their language of choice. Man in a Shed addresses the question of Labour itself and its version of how to kill a country: But then that wasn't enough to hold back reality - so they started lying more openly. The most notorious being the WMD claims made by Blair with one particular press officers help at No 10. Blair hid behind the security services. He produced dossiers and told us in hushed terms that it was the best work of the security services, some internally tried to warn him and then the media - but one of their number has now died under suspicious circumstances. The man who organised the smear campaign against John Major's government could not stand supporting going to war on this basis. He resigned, and then not long afterwards died whilst walking on MOD land. Labour's credibility at this point is requiring some very robust action. So they bullied the BBC and launched a witch hunt followed by the Hutton White wash ( so good that Alistair Campbell and Cherie Blair signed copies at Labour fund raisers ). Labour down graded the ministry of defence by giving it a part time minister, then 4 others in short order. The current incumbent is ranked 21 out of 23 in the Cabinet. The list goes on and on. Remember a certain Brazilian electrician? Man in a Shed concludes: We have to trust to God and luck - because its all too clear the Labour government is not trust worthy or trusted by anyone. Amen to that. Letters from a Tory addresses the issue of DARPA Facebook. I warned three people yesterday not to use it. One of my blogfriends is trying to run a debate with me currently in Facebook, despite all the posts I've written about them and don't intend to write again. Let Letters from a Tory tell the tale: The advent of social networking has raised a huge number of issues regarding privacy and personal information, but there has been surprisingly little reaction to the way that sites such as Facebook hand out personal details to private companies. More than 200 million people actively use Facebook, including about 12 million in Canada - more than one in three of the population. Facebook’s policy of holding on to subscribers’ personal information, even after their accounts had been deactivated, was one area that breached Canada’s privacy laws, as organisations can only retain such information for as long as it necessary to meet appropriate purposes. The report said Facebook’s information about privacy practices was “often confusing or incomplete”, and urged the site to make its policies more transparent to users. Facebook was also criticised for failing to adequately restrict access of users’ personal details to some of the 950,000 developers in 180 countries who provide applications such as games for the site. I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times – why do all the people who supposedly care about civil liberties when it comes to 42-day detention suddenly disappear when it comes to basic civil liberties such as protecting our privacy? Just like Facebook, Google Earth and Google Street View automatically assume that we don’t mind our lives and homes being splashed all over the internet so we are then playing catchup if we want to protect our privacy. Now readers, if you refuse to read my posts on this issue, please at least read Letters from a Tory. In conclusion These have been only two issues here, picked from, as stated at the beginning, a plethora of issues and to think we're not under assault is to be very, very ostrich indeed. These things have to be brought out over and over again until we all start to realize the state of matters. Thank the Lord for the blogosphere and the political blogger, even if we do seem to be muttering to ourselves most of the time. .
