Dan Spitz: Vaccines Are The Binary Weapon Trigger
Are UK paedophilephiles simply daft, or is there something else going on?
The Slog: In today’s Daily Telegraph,
there is a report (which I have checked out fully) about how Helen
Reece, a reader in law at the London School of Economics, called on
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, to relax rules automatically banning
sex offenders from caring for children. The usual bollocks is applied,
viz: such a ban “could breach their human rights”.
In an article in the somehow ‘respected’ Child and Family Law Quarterly, Miss Reece suggested that reoffending rates were not high among sex criminals, adding: “despite growing public concern over paedophilia, the numbers of child sex murders are very low.”
Ah, right: children abused, not many dead. OK, that is unpleasantly insouciant….but the ‘low reoffending rates’ assertion is simply a lie. Why tell a lie?
Last November, Jon Brown of the NSPCC said: “Reoffending rates for sex offenders have risen in recent years, but until now we did not know how many of these involved the sexual abuse of children. From now on, we want a separate tab kept on the number of child sex offenders in this country and how many go on to abuse again….Any offender with a history of child sex abuse should be considered a risk to children’s safety for the rest of their lives. This is why it is so important they are closely tracked and monitored by the police once they are back in the community.”
Miss Reece, by contrast, suggests that the law should be reviewed to introduce an assumption that child abusers pose no threat once they’ve served their sentence. Unbelievable: every last iota of field evidence suggests the diametric opposite. But Reece concludes, “There is no reason why all sex offenders should not be considered as potentially suitable to adopt or foster children, or work with them.”

Kyle Bass Is "Perplexed" At Gold's Low Price
Vast Greek war claims against Germany explode like a 'time-bomb'
The document – stamped “Aporito”, or secret – was drafted by a panel of
experts appointed by the Greek finance ministry and delivered to officials
last month.
The alleged claim against Germany reaches a grand total of €162bn, including
€108bn for rebuilding the country’s infrastructure after the Nazi occupation
from 1941 to 1944. This is 80pc of Greek GDP.
The probe was chaired by Panagiotis Karakousis, director-general of the
General Accounting Office at the Finance Ministry, and relied on 190,000
pages of documents scattered through the country’s ministries and archives.
Mr Karakousis told The Daily Telegraph that the report was commissioned
by the current leadership, not the previous Pasok government.
“The purpose was to gather all the material available so that the political
leaders can check the data,” he said.
The Greek foreign ministry said this morning that the report would be sent to the State Legal Service “so that legal elaboration, assessment and setting out of the claims of the Greek State can be carried out and a relevant opinion submitted.”
The report was first leaked to the Greek newspaper To Vima over the weekend in a story entitled “What Germany Owes Us”.

Monsanto vs. Humanity
Avaaz: It’s unbelievable, but Monsanto and Co. are at it again. These
profit-hungry biotech companies have found a way to exclusively ‘own’
something that freely belongs to us all -- our food! They’re trying to patent away our everyday vegetables and fruits like cucumber, broccoli and melons, forcing growers to pay them and risk being sued if they don’t.
But we can stop them from buying up Mother Earth. Companies like Monsanto have found loopholes in European law to get away with this, so we just need to close them shut before they set a dangerous global precedent. And to do that, we need key countries like Germany, France and the Netherlands -- where opposition is already growing -- to call for a vote to stop Monsanto’s plans. The Avaaz community has shifted governments before, and we can do it again.
Many farmers and politicians are already against this -- we just need to bring in people power to pressure these countries to keep Monsanto’s hands off our food. Sign now and share with everyone to help build the biggest food defense call ever:

The Federal Reserve, Wall Street and the Laundering of Drug Money - “Dark Alliance” 2.0
Tom Burghardt: In October 2005, at the height of the speculative financial
bubble that eventually cost taxpayers trillions of dollars and
devastated millions of lives, Citigroup Equity Strategy analysts Ajay
Kapur, Niall Macleod and Narendra Singh published their provocative,
though accurate portrayal of bourgeois amorality, Plutonomy: Buying Luxury, Explaining Global Imbalances.
According to these worthies, the egregious economic disparities
between the filthy ruling rich and the rest of us revolve around the
salient fact that the “world is dividing into two blocs–the plutonomies
where economic growth is powered by and largely consumed by the wealthy
few,” and the great mass of proletarians who need to sit down, shut up
and worship at the feet of their masters.Yobbish Lifestyles of Financial Arsonists (AKA Banksters) - Max Keiser with Reggie Middleton
Incriminating "Mr Death Squad" Kissinger Files Released by WikiLeaks - Marked man "Kissinger basically gave a green light to Turkey to invade Cyprus!"
RT: The WikiLeaks release of 1.7 million US intelligence documents from
the 1970s may seriously hinder US foreign policy power-broker Henry
Kissinger, operating behind the scenes in recent years, UK-based
investigative reporter Tony Gosling told RT.
Most of the data, comprising records from the beginning of 1973
to the end of 1976, has been compiled by the site's founder, Julian
Assange, who has been holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London
since last June.
Many of those reports were written by or sent to Henry Kissinger, who was US secretary of state and national security adviser during the period.
Gosling says that, despite not being part of the US government since 1977, Kissinger has been influencing the international landscape through unofficial channels all these years.
RT: Is there any indication yet of who gave these documents to WikiLeaks?
Tony Gosling: Well, those documents were, actually, available in the archive. It’s just almost impossible for the general public to search for them. It’s quite clear that Julian Assange isn’t being idle in his incarceration, in his dungeon in London. What he’s and his colleagues have done is turned it into a really useful, searchable database, a massive one. Three hundred and eighty gigabytes of data, 1.7 million records – this new PlusD release from WikiLeaks. And it’s extremely useful. I mean I had a brief look this morning right after the release and you can find quite a lot of stuff in there, which is going into the detail of the US foreign policy during the 'Mr Death Squad' [Henry] Kissinger years.

“Tramp the Dirt Down”
Gayatri and George Galloway: The old saw that one shouldn’t speak ill of the recently dead
cannot possibly apply to controversial figures in public life. It
certainly didn’t apply to President Hugo Chavez who predeceased Margaret
Thatcher amidst a blizzard of abuse.
Every controversial divisive deadly thing that Thatcher did will be placed in soft focus, bathed in a rose-coloured light, and provide a first draft of history that will be, simply, wrong.
As is now well-known, I refused to do that today on the demise of a wicked woman who tore apart what remained good about my country, and set an agenda which has been followed, more or less, by all of her successors. I certainly wasn’t prepared to leave the obituaries to those who profited from her rule or those who have aped her ever since.
So here is my own memory of Thatcher and what she did in her time on this earth.
On one of my first political demonstrations – against the Conservative government of Edward Heath (1970-74) the slogan of the day was “Margaret Thatcher- Milk snatcher”. It was the first but not the last time I spat out her name in distaste.
