Ex-MI5 chief say UK ID cards would be "useless"

The case for identity cards has been branded "bogus" after an ex-MI5 chief said they might not help fight terror.

Dame Stella Rimington has said most documents could be forged and this would render ID cards "useless".

See full article on BBC site

Biometric testing of face, eye and fingerprints could soon be used on every resident of the UK to create compulsory identity cards. If the government gets its way, the information on the chip would also be stored on a national identity register, accessible to the police, government departments, the Inland Revenue, immigration and intelligence services.

Do we really want this dangerous waste of money?

11 September: new Pearl Harbour?

Last night I watched a DVD called Confronting the Evidence: A Call To Reopen the 9/11 Investigation which you can get for free.

I'm definately not a fan of conspiracy theories, but there does seem to be overwhelming evidence that the attack on the twin towers & Pentagon is a new Pearl Harbour. Which means: an event which the US government knew full well was happening & welcomed because it would change public opinion. In this case, in order to invade Iraq (& soon Iran? then Venezuela?)

Look at the photo above. (Courtesy US Army). This is the Pentagon supposedly just after a Boeing 757-200, weighing nearly 100 tons and travelling at a minimum speed of 250 miles an hour hit it. The hole in the building is far too small. There is no debris from the plane. What happened to the plane? The grass isn't even damaged.

This site Hunt the Boeing! And test your perceptions! has more photographs taken immediately after the supposed impact.

It is not the first time the US Government has faked a military attack to start war. The same ocurred in Vietnam.

I was very dubious about these suggestions until I saw the video, but by the time I had watched the whole thing I am left with no doubt that the US authorities very definately wanted it to happen & probably actively participated in making sure the attack was a success.

Do have a look at the video & make up your own mind. Here's the site Confronting the Evidence: A Call To Reopen the 9/11 Investigation. The DVD is copright free so that you can copy it & pass it on. I can do you a copy if you want.
