911 a fraud

In war, truth is the first casualty.

Aeschylus
Greek tragic dramatist (525 BC - 456 BC)  

Many of us can remember watching those planes fly into the World Trade Center in New York city, on 12 September 2001.   There was a significant loss of life the United States of America went to war on global terrorists.

The sight of those massive skyscrapers falling to the ground was something that no one will ever forget.  Then there were the loose ends, Larry Silverstone had ensured the building heavily against terrorism.  Why did building 7 fall down, and at free-fall speed?

Then the truth, the buildings were demolished with thermite.  I suppose it makes sense, that the United States Government, having been caught out lying would try and discredit truth. Thermite cannot cut steel beams: yeah right.  Watch this video and make up your own mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNOM_U5UM6Q. The planes were a mere diversion.

The massive military mobilisation was based on a fraud.   Finally the depravity of the human soul is revealed.  Lies and deception on a grand scale being paid for in innocent blood.  More that this, the truth is being deliberately hidden by those who should know better.
 
If you need more details of the governments attempts to cover all this up wikipedia does a good job of towing the official line.

Whanganui Hui - SOE Act

Yesterday I attended the consultation hui at Whanganui.  The purpose was to allow maori, as partners with the crown in the governance of New Zealand, as outlined within the Treaty of Waitangi, to discuss crown obligations under this treaty, and how they should impact legislation allowing the crown to sell 49% of specified state assets, primarily energy companies.

The government has received a hostile reception to this proposal, and the Whanganui hui was no different. Readers of this blog will be aware of my personal views on this matter. It was stated several times that to consider such a sale at this time was premature as there were many historical treaty grievances that should be considered first.  These grievances were primarily about water, and as some of these energy companies had hydro-electric assets these sales were premature.  The informed reader will know that the New Zealand Maori Council has taken action through the courts to prevent this sale.

The Deputy Prime Minister, Rt Hon. Bill English was present the crowns view.  His primary claim to legitimacy for the process was that it was voted on in the election, and that he had more than a mandate, a duty to push this legislation through.  No one asked him how many of his grandchildren voted for removing their inheritance.  Other topics were raised included whether the government could be trusted, the state of waterways and mineral exploration.

Mr English waxed eloquently about how the government about the protect the environment from the environmental dangers of deep sea oil exploration. Ignoring the fact that capping a blowout in 3000m of water would be impossible.  We saw that it took months to cap the blowout at the deep water horizon well at a mere 1500m depth in the Gulf of Mexico.  This is despite the wealth of expertise and resources available in the USA.  Dispatching oil rigs to drill relief wells would take months to get here, let alone do the job.  As for operating equipment at 3000m where the pressure is around 4500psi - yeah right - will believe it when I see it.

To make statements about how the Government would make drilling safe, and yet allow drilling in areas where it is clearly unsafe is yet another example of the dishonesty of our polluters/politicians.  The Maori are wise to mistrust him.

Patent Silliness

In this world we reward innovation by patent and trademarks allow us to know what we are buying.  When I was a child we all knew what cherios were, the smaller version of a saveloy.  Both cherios and saveloys were precooked sausages in a red skin.  Some years ago I noticed that butchers no longer sold cherios, they were now called "cocktail sausages", and now cherios is the name of a breakfast cereal. Maybe the loss was not large, some part of our lingusitic heritage declared illegal by some trademark examiner down in Wellington, but still it hurt, that words with everyday meaning could be claimed by multinationals as their own.

However the principle of liberal use of patent law being allowed in this way is disturbing.  Imagine if a motor vehicle manufacturer were allowed to claim that having the accelerator on the right foot, and the brake on the left were in some way its intellectual property.  Other manufacturers would then have to repedal their cars with the opposite convention.  Next another manufacturer claims accelerator on left and brake  on the right, claiming the previous decision as precedent.  Now manufacturers start making cars with hand controls for accelerator and brake while people steer with their feet.

We take it for granted that people who drive cars are licensed to drive all makes and models, but because of the crashes involving people putting their feet on the accelerator instead of the break people are licensed to drive particular models only.  In fact by this stage learning, or even trying to drive more than one vehicle becomes dangerous.

Conventions in user interfaces allow us to transfer the knowledge of the world from one instance to another.  Fortuantely no one has yet patented english so I don't have to write this blog in a language that I have only just made up!

State Asset Sales

I am surprised that no one is questioning if the Government has the moral authority to sell the electricity generators.

The Labour party is saying "why would New Zealanders want to buy shares in something they already own?".  However I ask the question "are the electricity generators ours to sell?"

These assets were built by my parents and grandparents.  They are as New Zealanders part of our inheritance, which we hold in trust for the generations that follow.  How dare we sell them? They are not ours to sell, they belong to our children.

Have said that the current government is no better than the criminals who flog off stolen property at the pub.  This sort of behaviour is not new, some centuries ago it was written:

The law locks up the hapless felon
who steals the goose from off the common,
but lets the greater felon loose
who steals the common from the goose.

Big Brother is watching YOU!

Have you ever been put under surveillance?  Have you gone out to the bus stop and seen a white beat up old car sitting there with the engine on, and then sheepishly a head pops up from behind the steering wheel and looks at you? Have you had unmarked police patrol cars wait for you to drive to church and then pull in behind you as you go past?

Even if non of these things have happened to you you need to know how authorities can use your own devices, your cell phone and your computer to spy on you.  Spying is now easier than ever.  A couple of years ago a man found some police tracking gear in his car which he put up on trade me for sale.  Also a few years ago a policeman got shot and killed with a high powered air rifle while installing spying/tracking equipment in a vehicle.

However the need for the police to pay for spy equipment, and pay for someone to take the risk of installing it, and to take the risk their equipment might be discovered (or even sold) is now totally unnecessary, provided you keep your cell phone on you. Instead you pay for the phone.  You make sure you take it with you. You keep it charged and operational.

A cellphone always gives its position. This is essential to the operation of the device.  The cellphone network needs to know where the phone is so that it can route calls and messages to the phone.  Some modern phones have GPS built in so they can provide a position to about 0.1 meters.  So if you are somewhere you should not be, you might need to be able to explain how your phone got there!  Other phones which do not have GPS built into them cannot give a position this accurate, however, an approximate position can be triangulated from the signal strength at three towers.

The other thing that the cellphone can do is transmit the sounds picked up by its microphone:  your phone could become a 24/7 bugging device.  Do not be fooled that switching it off gets rid of the bugging.  The power is connected and a well designed bugging program will make your phone act like it is off while continuing to bug you. 

So if you have your phone on you, you know that the authorities, (or jealous husbands/wives/business rivals) could know where you are and what you are saying.  If you want some privacy then you have two options: forget your phone, or take out the battery.

In recent years it has become known that the windows operating system is bugged http://www.heise.de/tp/artikel/5/5263/1.html. I found it interesting that the site for replacing the NSA keys built into windows http://www.cryptonym.com/hottopics/msft-nsa/ReplaceNsaKey.zip can no longer be accessed.  The good thing is that there are perfectly good operating systems (may I recommend ubuntu) that are not compromised by the NSA. 

The final thing to be aware of is ECHELON. This is a signals intelligence network operated by UK, Austraila, New Zealand, Canada and USA. This is system of computers continually monitors telephone, computer and radio transmissions using a dictionary to find communications of interest.


I am not suggesting that we abandon technology like cell phones or Microsoft operating systems.  Rather be aware of big brother and know that the authorities can find you and listen you anywhere you take your cell phone.  Be aware that if your have some sensitive research on your windows computer, it is not private.

After the Police have watched you for a while, and found nothing of interest, they will get bored and give up, but we the users of technology must never forget, big brother may be watching.
