This board has been a little to quiet for while.

Is it time that Bush and Blair who is a close friend and confidant of Bush were tried for War Crimes?

Do you think the use by the American Administrations of renditions are War Crimes and committed with full knowledge of American and British leaders ie. Blair and Bush and they are ultimately responsible?

Also in the aftermath of the illegal invasion of Iraq are should their action seen to be as the provocation for the rising toll of British, American and Iraqi deaths.

As a result of the military intervention in Iraq do you think you are safer in Britain to-day?

Do you think one should expect government leaders and ministers who have been responsible for massive foreseeable casualties should visit the hospitals to meet the casualties they have produced directly or indirectly by their actions?

Google Again Censors, Stifles 9/11 Film's Growth
Video viewership figures for Terror Storm being reset to prevent movie going "Loose Change" viral

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | October 5 2006

Google Video has re-imposed a crass censorship policy to intentionally stifle the growth of Alex Jones' Terror Storm documentary and prevent it from reaching tens of millions of people by covertly editing viewer statistics and blocking the film from entering its popular categories.

Last week we highlighted how Google had reset viewing totals for Terror Storm from hundreds of thousands of views on several different video versions back down to zero for each one.

Following a complaint Google admitted that the numbers had been reset by mistake, despite the fact that the error only seemed to apply to Terror Storm, and assured us that the problem would not re-occur.

A brief appraisal of the viewership figures for the multiple different versions of Terror Storm again shows that Google have deliberately reset the viewership stats to prevent the film getting a foothold in the Popular, Featured, or Movers and Shakers categories. It is only when a film enters these prominent categories that it really begins to spread like wildfire and enter a cycle of exponential multiplication.

Figures that were heading towards 500,000 views for different uploads of the film are now back in the low hundreds and tens of thousands. The number of viewer submitted comments remains the same but the viewership numbers have clearly been unfairly doctored.

Loose Change appears in the featured video section of Google Video on almost every visit to the website because of its immeasurable viral impact and we are delighted for Dylan Avery and the rest of his crew that such a dynamic film is reaching tens of millions of people.

Its viewership figures have not been reset and continue to multiply, along with other popular truth movement films such as 9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions. Google's alleged "mistake" only seems to apply to Terror Storm and no other video.



From past behavior and clear evidence of statistical manipulation, it is reasonable to conclude that an executive level decision has been made to artificially trim the numbers for Terror Storm and prevent it from becoming an underground blockbuster.

Such a policy would not come as a surprise as we have consistently run into censorship issues with Google.

During our Charlie Sheen coverage, Google intentionally blocked news stories pertaining to Sheen's comments which were first made on the Alex Jones Show and turned into a nationwide media spectacle.

Even after the story had gone supernova, and our original write-up had been linked all over the web, including the Drudge Report, Google's main search engine did not list the article.

After we blew the whistle on this act of censorship, the story was re-listed and Google even began carrying some of our content in their news section - a practice that has now also ceased.

Google's penchant for abandoning their founding principle of "don't be evil" and kissing up to Communist China for privileged access into the world's biggest untapped Internet market, was exemplified in February this when Google completely erased the Space War website from its search engine. Space War is a large mainstream news website that carries articles about geopolitics and the defense industry from AFP.

Space War speculated that it was their reporting on advancements in China's military technology and missile programs that provoked a censorship order from the totalitarian Chinese government which Google acted upon. Again, after a mass e mailing campaign which we fully supported, Google re-indexed the Space War website.

Please e mail Google and ask them why they keep trimming the viewership figures for Terror Storm. Demand an answer as to why they are unfairly blocking Terror Storm from reaching large numbers of people. We appreciate the great service that Google Video provides for free but what are they so afraid of that they would deliberately alter viewership totals and suppress the impact of this movie?

THE decision to excuse a Muslim cop from guarding the Israeli Embassy was last night branded the beginning of the end for British policing.

PC Alexander Omar Basha told chiefs he was unable to carry out duties at the London embassy a top terror target due to moral grounds after Israeli bombings in Lebanon.

Top brass granted his request last week, but Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair last night ordered an immediate inquiry after our story broke. He said: Having learned of this issue I have asked for an urgent review of the situation and a full report.

Critics slammed the decision. Ex-Met Flying Squad commander John OConnor said: This is the beginning of the end for British policing.

If they can allow this, surely theyll have to accept a Jewish officer not wanting to work at an Islamic national embassy? Will Catholic cops be let off working at Protestant churches? Where will it end?

This decision is going to allow officers to act in a discriminating and racist way.





Mr OConnor added: When you join the police, you do so to provide a service to the public. If you cannot perform those duties, you leave.

The Metropolitan Police are setting a precedent they will come to bitterly regret. Top brass granted his wish as they were probably frightened of being accused of racism. But what theyve done is an insult to the Jewish community.

Another angry policeman said: This decision beggars belief. It goes against everything the police should stand for providing a service to the public no matter who they are.

PC Basha, attached to the Mets Diplomatic Protection Group, asked for special dispensation not to work at the embassy in Kensington Palace Gardens, Central London. The officer, in his late 20s, has taken part in recent anti-war protests.

The Israeli Embassy was attacked in 1994 by Palestinian fanatics with a 50lbs car bomb, injuring 19 and causing millions of pounds damage.

But one senior source said: PC Basha objected to the posting on moral grounds because of the Israeli bombing of Lebanon and the resulting civilian casualties of fellow Muslims.

Superintendent Dal Babu, chairman of the Association of Muslim Police said he had spoken to the officer concerned.

He said: What we need to do is just really put this entire issue in perspective. This is about the welfare of an individual and not about a moral issue.

"I think we are going down a very, very slippery road if we start having postings based on individual officers conscience.

As police officers we have to deal with some very, very difficult situations and we need to be objective and make sure that we police all members of the community fairly. We cant pick and choose.

FOLLOWING today's revelations in the Sun newspaper, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair called for an urgent review of the decision.
He said: Having learned of this issue I have asked for an urgent review of the situation and a full report into the circumstances.

THE Israeli embassy said: The Embassy of Israel expresses its full confidence in the ability of the Metropolitan Police Force to provide the Embassy with maximum security, as well as its ability to deal with this sort of grave problem."

ANOTHER Muslim removed from the DPG after his security clearance was rejected is trying to sue the Met. Vetting revealed PC Amjad Farooq had a close acquaintance with alleged links to an extremist Islamic group.

And now we have the Googleplot!

It's not that nobody's watching this rubbish, it's because Google are fiddling the numbers.

A plot to conceal a plot. Exquisite.

On the policeman refusing a duty ...

Try substitution tests of different combinations of races, religion, etc ...

Dont mind who Barwoni is or from where he/she came. Always happy to give everyone's opinions some thoughts, time and energy permitting. As long as it is not abusive. There are usually bits of interesting nuggets of ideas. We learn nothing if there are no disagreements.

I have a friend who is a (now retired) officer in the Metropolitan Police.

White, male, middle-aged, some would describe him as an "old-fashioned copper". Fair-minded, decent sort.

He applied to join the Association of Black Police Officers. He was hauled up, asked what he was playing at. He said "well, they can join our Association, so why can't I join theirs? If they won't let me join, that would be discrimination against me because I'm white, wouldn't it?"

No coherent answer was forthcoming from any party.

The matter was never resolved, and my friend retired from the Force.

We'll have to disagree on this one, Tweenie.
Imagine the outcry had it been a White officer refusing to guard an African embassy in Protest at Nigeria or Zimbabwe. Or perhaps a white officer refusing his duties at an Islamic countrys embassy in protest at Islam. Or even a republican officer refusing to aid the royal protection.
The list is endless and I doubt a single one of them would receive a hint of sympathy from any of the media or public at large.

Barwoni,

IMO, very few of those 4,000 terrorists killed (I heard very different figures from other sources) are of clear and lethal threat to the UK public. I suspect most of them probably just want us out of their land.

If time and history took a different twist and UK are occupied by Iraq, then I could easily see several million Brits "terrorists" taking up arms. Would it be any different if Germany won the war?

Some people may smile at my concerns, however unlikely but not impossible. What if
there are unrests, disasters or external threats close to home, far too great for the police to handle, and the troops cannot return to the UK on time???

axdpc:

But the British populace couldn't take up arms against an invader these days, as they have disarmed by their Government, unlike, say the U.S., Switzerland or most E.U. countries.

So there would be no effective armed resistance here.

MM, a very valid point. Unlike the case you mentioned, some most damaging and contemptible forms of discriminations and favourtisms are very covert and insidious indeed.

MM, perhaps you are right but IMO, it is because most of us has no idea on how to use arms. Perhaps it is also because we think the any new foreign rulers cannot be any worse than the bunch we've got now, and the ones before, and the ones before that etc ... A bit sad if true.

p.s. with the temperature of disagreements we have within at the moment, it is probably safer for most of us not to have an armed the populous !

Barwoni. Thankyou for mentioning about Kriss Donald's tragic murder. It was disgusting and hopefully all muslims will be appalled. I hope that the perpetrators are brought to justice and serve life in jail. Disgusting and horrifying.

Pakistan: Mad Mullah's Muslim Jailhouse
News from Dawn and AKI tells the story of a bizarre Muslim cleric's private jail and torture center.

The cleric, Maulana Ilyas Qadri, ran a jail in a village near Haripur, 40 miles north of Islamabad. Police raided the jail, located in the village of Badhana, following a complaint by two people, and found 113 people incarcerated in the cleric's private "jailhouse".

Most of the individuals were kept in chains, and were severely malnourished. The cleric was arrested, as were his six guards, Ghulam Kibriya, Shaukat Rehman, Fakhar Zaman, Farman Khan, Javed and Mazar Ali. Seven of those who were in the jail were British nationals of Pakistani origin. Many of the prisoners were young men and boys.

The raid took place late on Monday night (October 2). The prisoners had been mistreated by the cleric and his guards. The prisoners claimed: "They would beat us with clubs whenever someone tried to escape or object to the treatment meted out to them." The guards also sexually abused them.

The prisoners were taken to Haripur district courts, where eight boys, aged 12 to 18 years, made statements to Civil Judge Hina Khan.

No reason has been given to explain why the individuals were kept prisoner. The cleric and his guards have been tried under aspects of the penal code relating to kidnap and beatings of minors, but also under the "Suppression of Terrorism Act".

Given the alleged prison places shortages In this country and with Blair and the rest of the tory party quite happy for large employers to export UK jobs (rather then train some of our own people) abroad. I wonder If this fellow In Pakistan might be getting a call )-:

Sorry couldn't resist that now that this topic has gone almost completely off topic .

Hearts and minds.

US medic jailed over Iraq murder

PO Bacos avoided murder charges with an offer to testify
A US Navy medic has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his part in the killing of an Iraqi civilian in April.
But Petty Officer Melson J Bacos is expected to spend just one year in jail after agreeing to give evidence against seven marines charged with the murder.

Earlier Bacos told his US court-martial that the marines seized the man in the town of Hamdaniya, threw him into a hole and shot him in the head 10 times.

The case is one of several in which US troops are accused of killing Iraqis.

'I knew it was wrong'

Bacos admitted kidnapping, conspiracy to kidnap and conspiracy to file a false statement as part of the plea bargain at the court-martial in Camp Pendleton, southern California.

Military judge Col Steven Folsom sentenced Bacos to 10 years in prison, but reduced the period he will actually serve to one year because of the plea agreement.




Other US investigations

Bacos said he was on patrol with the marine squad who were looking for an insurgent - Saleh Gowad - who had been captured three times but released.

Bacos said the marines were angry the insurgent had been freed and, frustrated at not finding him, instead seized neighbour Hashim Awad from his home.

The medic said Mr Awad, 52, was put in a hole.

He testified: "I knew that we were doing something wrong. I tried saying something, sir."

But he said a marine told him to "quit being a pussy".

Bacos said squad leader Sgt Lawrence Hutchins III then fired three shots into Mr Awad's head followed by at least seven more rounds to the head from Cpl Trent Thomas.

'Scene staged'

Bacos said Sgt Hutchins called command for permission to fire on a man he had seen digging a hole.

I wanted to be part of the team. I wanted to be loyal

US Petty Officer Melson J Bacos

Prosecutors say an AK-47 assault rifle, bullets and a shovel were placed next to Mr Awad's body to make it appear as if he were trying to plant a roadside bomb.

The medic said the incident in the western Iraqi town of Hamdaniya in April made him "sick to my stomach".

Speaking of why he had not chosen to walk away from the incident, Bacos said "I wanted to be part of the team. I wanted to be loyal".

"Now I feel as though my honour is gone and I have let down others who have looked up to me. I apologise to our country," Bacos was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying. "I also ask forgiveness from the Iraqi family we have done this to."

Seven marines are at various stages of the military justice process over the kidnap and murder.

Two marines - John Jodka and Marshall Magincalda - have both already pleaded not guilty to murder.

The US military has said the death penalty will not be sought against any of the marines.


and did you know:

You have heard before that "Al-Qaeda" roughly translates into "the base," but were you aware that "Ana raicha Al Qaeda" is arabic colloquial for "I'm going to the toilet"?

I thought it was funny.just the last bit that is.

Man guilty of six-year-old's 'honour' killing

Martin Wainwright
Friday October 6, 2006



Birmingham crown court had heard that Tuzzio was filmed buying petrol at a filling station before bursting into the house where his victim, Alisha Begum, lived with nine members of her family.
In the attack on March 10 this year he sprayed the petrol round the house and started a fire. The child was the only one unable to escape and died in hospital from 95% burns.

The court heard that her brother Abdul Hamid, 21, had aroused fury by dating Meherun Khanum, 15, who lived nearby. Meherun is the sister of Hussain Ahmed, who was cleared.

Another of her brothers, Mohammed Foaz Ahmed, and a close friend of her family, Jabed Ali, are wanted by police for questioning about the fire but are thought to have fled to Bangladesh.

MIL-LD IRAQ-UNREST
Scores of people killed or wounded in latest violence

BAGHDAD, Oct 5 (KUNA) -- Scores of people were killed or wounded in various violent incidents on the turbulent Iraqi arena over the past hours and authorities declared a wide-scale operation clamping down on suspected terrorists.

Police said three military conscripts were killed and four others were wounded in mortar attacks in the northern city of Mosul. And in the town of Talaafar west of this city, four people including policemen were wounded in a car bomb blast.

Two civilians were killed and 28 others were wounded in two separate attacks in the Iraqi capital.
