So, Condoleezza Rice is doing a tour of the UK, as a guest of Jack Straw. First question I had to ask is… why? Apparently it's a visit to re-pay Jack Straw's visit to the United States last year. Costing the British public to provide security for this woman, costing over-time for police, and even transporting London Met police up here to cover her appearance tonight at the Liverpool Philharmonic, with democratic tax-payers money. Notably, in the news today she's quoted as saying how it's good for people to protest because it demonstrates a democratic society. I think it's fair to say that the majority of people in this 'democracy' don't want her here. And yet she's still here. Hmmm, one to ponder on.

So, I found out yesterday at about 1pm that her itinerary included a visit to the Philharmonic (after her appearance in Blackburn), so I rang the Phil and was told she'd be there around 7pm. I immediately got on the phone to Klara and told her and asked if she was up for some protesting, she was, as was my sister and even my dad. So we headed into town on the train and arrived shortly after at central station. We met up with my dad at the protest which was right outside the Phil, the atmosphere was really good. It was actually the first time any of us had actually gone to a protest, firsts all 'round. I didn't know what to expect (apart from a large police prescence). So we're standing there making observations about the crowd, reading all the placards stuff like that. The very first one I saw as we were walking up to the protest was a guy standing on a postbox with just the word 'Illuminati' written on it. minT! I went up to the guy and complimented him on his sign, he seemed chuffed. While we were standing around talking there were two guys standing next to us, we started talking with these two guys, I asked one of them whether he knew about 9/11, turns out he did, Alex Jones, WTC building 7 etc. Yey! Another awake person!

We were half an hour late getting to the protest so we were pretty much at the back of the crowd, and it was here at the back of the crowd where something interesting happened. I took some video which you can see below, just click play (Klara, if you're watching this at work on phase 3 make sure you click the mute button before pressing play).

So, there's a guy dressed as Spiderman who was there to protest for Fathers for Justice, go him! A very worthy cause in my opinion. I have no idea if he was intending to pull a 'stunt' as Fathers for Justice are 'known' for or if he was just there to protest with the rest of us. Regardless the police decided to search him. Despite the fact that he wasn't allowed to make his voice heard with the rest of us, and despite the fact the officer on the left is chewing gum (against regulations, tut tut tut) the 'police officer' with the digital camera is what got my attention. Since when did police officers start carrying high powered (and very expensive) digital cameras at protests? Ask yourself, why would they be doing that? As you can see from the video the 'officer' *cough*MI5*cough* even takes a close-up picture of the guy when he hadn't done anything illegal. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's after you've been arrested (which this guy wasn't) and taken down to a police station that they take your picture, prints and god knows what else. It seems that the police have decided to skip this little formaility and go straight to the picture taking. Ask yourself what happens to the pictures which they take? What possible purpose could they serve? Here's my opinion on what happens… they're entered into a database, run through face scanning technology and returns a result, that person is then flagged as being a known protestor and an opponent to the regime which is being protested. I'd love to hear what other purpose those images could serve. Anyone?

A few days ago I made 30 copies of the Loose Change DVD to hand out to people at work, to just provide them with the information that the mainstream media refuses to pay attention to (but not for much longer). I asked Klara to hand them out because I was on holiday, she had 5 left to hand so we decided to take these along to the protest to hand out to people. The two of us decided to move through the crowd and talk to a few people and see why people were there and what they thought about 9/11. It was amazing to see the diversity of the reasons why people were there. All the different perspectives but the one thing that got me the most was the way that people were open and willing to hear each others reasons for being there. We moved towards the front of the crowd and came across a group of people, I don't know whether or not they were there together or if they were strangers to each other. Anyway, we started talking to each other and I asked them if they knew about building seven of the world trade centre. They didn't have an idea. I asked them if they knew about the fact that eyewitnesses heard bombs going off in the twin towers on all floors before they collapsed. I asked them if they knew about whether or not they knew that no steel frame building has ever collapsed as a result of a fire, never in the history of construction, yet on Sept. 11th three steel frame buildings collapsed supposedly for this reason marking a first in history. And yet the official story as reported by the 9/11 commission was that they collapsed as a result of fire damage. These people had no idea. I asked them if they knew about Larry Silverstein buying the entire World Trade Centre complex just two months before 9/11 (after previously owning just building 7) and taking a record insurance policy out covering the complex specifically covering terrorist attacks. Then afterwards tries to claim double the insurance ($7 billion) by claiming that two planes hit which counted as two separate acts of terrorism. Remember how I just said that the 9/11 commission said that building seven collapsed due to due damage? Well, Larry Silverstein went on TV on a documentary aired by CBS called 'America Rebuilds' saying that he told the FDNY to 'pull' building 7. 'Pull' means demolish in the building trade. Just watch the video below, all you have to do is click 'Play'.

This group of people had no idea about any of this so we gave them copies of Loose Change (which you can also watch below). One guy in particular had trouble with these facts, especially when I mentioned the fact that NORAD for the first time in it's 50 year history stood down on the morning of 9/11. It was at this moment that a guy behind me who had been listening to what I was saying came in and backed me up on it saying that NORAD admitted a few months after 9/11 that they stood down. I was a bit surprised that this guy knew this and he became involved in the conversation too. I didn't have time to go into the war games that Dick Cheney was playing that morning which (co-incidentally) was a simulation involving four pretend hi-jacked aircraft being flown into the same prominent west-coast land marks as were actually hit. Nor did I have the time to remind people about the moment that the President was told of the attacks and he just sat there for another 30 minutes before leaving. Now if America truely was under a surprise attack from an (at that time) unknown enemy it would stand to reason that a President in a school would be a clear target and for every minute he sat there (unsurprised and seemingly unconcerned) he posed a threat to the people surrounding him, not only that school but that town because he would've been a very likely target. This amazed people even on the day of 9/11, why didn't the secret service stop the photo-op and whisk him away to a bunker or safe location? Once again this has been gradually erased from people's memories as they became distracted with Al-CIAdea / the 'war on terror'. I didn't have time to mention the fact that the days immediately following 9/11 Osama Bin Laden made several statements denying involvement in the attacks.

There was another woman who I started talking to (the woman in the red coat in the protest video). She was one of the main organisers of that demonstration, I asked her (as you can hear in the video) if she knew about 9/11, she didn't know either about the facts i mention above and what happened, we gave her a DVD too. Klara and I were saying later on about if she's organising protests now and she doesn't know about 9/11 then jeez, if that film wakes her up she's going to be protesting about a helluva lot more.

Thankfully though we were encouraged at the fact that we were not alone in the knowledge of this information. There were a lot of people there who already knew, one group of people were giving out altered £20 notes as you can see below, nearly every website that demands answers about 9/11 was on that note. I asked the guy if he knew about Alex Jones and people like him and he pointed to the infowars.com URL on the note with a knowing smile. Immense!

I think the notes pretty much sum it up. All-in-all it was a really good experience. I will without doubt be going to more protests in the future with a lot more DVD's and information to give people who don't already have it. Thankfully though people are waking up in record numbers. Go Team Truth!!

Here's the Loose Change video if you couldn't be arsed to click the link a few paragraphs up…

And here ends my longest blog entry to date.

Well, much to the disdain and disgust of not only myself but many people I know, the ID card Act of 'Parliament' was agreed upon today. A sad time for this country and it's people, because now it's official, 'Big Brother' is here for everyone to see.

So, were you in favour of them? Tell me, exactly what of the following you were in favour of… (here's a tip, it's a trick question)

YOU WILL:

        ATTEND an appointment to be photographed, have your fingerprints taken and iris scanned, or be fined up to £2500. Additional fines of up to £2500 may be levied each time you fail to comply until you submit to these procedures.

        PROMPTLY INFORM the police or Home Office if you lose your card or it becomes defective, or face a fine of up to £1000. If you find someone else's card and do not immediately hand it in, you may have committed a criminal offence punishable by imprisonment for up to two years or a fine, or both.

        PROMPTLY INFORM the National Identity Register of any change of address or face a fine of up to £1000 (you will supply evidence of your previous addresses, not just your current address).

       PROMPTLY INFORM the National Identity Register of significant changes to your personal life or any errors they have made or face a fine of up to £1000. You may also be obliged to submit to being re-interviewed, re-photographed, re-fingerprinted and re-scanned, or face a fine.

        PAY between £30 and £93 (or more) to be registered, with further charges possible to change your details and to replace a lost or stolen card.

       When ID cards were introduced in this country during World War II, they had three functions. By the time they were abolished in 1952 they had 39 administrative uses. So what won't we be able to do without an ID card, according to Government plans? We'll be prevented from renting or selling a home or staying in a hotel. We won't be able to buy a car or a mobile phone; open or use a bank account; travel abroad; register with a doctor; get education; work or run a business; (officially) live or (officially) die…

So, if you were (or still are) in favour, give yourself a pat on the back and a round of applause because you're a blissfully asleep little sheep. Go back to sleep, your government is in control, you have nothing to worry about.

So… the last time ID cards were used was during the last world war. Are we at war now? Are we fuck. Oh wait, you mean the war on terrorism? WAKE UP, the bacon is burning, terrorists didn't committ 9/11 and that pretext has been used to scare the sheep into thinking there is a war. Don't take my word for it, Eric Haney, a retired command sergeant major of the U.S. Army, was a founding member of Delta Force the military's elite covert counter-terrorist unit and he said in an interview just a few days ago '…there is no real threat to the U.S. in the world…'. I strongly advise you to read that interview actually.

Now I'm anything from being a religious person, I'm a spiritual person but don't get that confused with religion. Regardless, just read the above and then read this from Revelations Chapter 13 verses 16 to 18 of the Bible:

'He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666'.

Just think about that for a second. Sit back and let it sink in for a moment.

Well, it had to be asked…

I think from now on I'm going to actually ask people that question before I even try to wake them up. At least then I know whether or not they'll have a receptive mind without having to exhaust my efforts on someone who's asleep and really really wants to stay asleep. It's an inquisitive nature that us humans have, we want to know what's behind all the doors. Most people only think there are two doors, based solely on the manufactured perception of a left / right, good / evil paradigm. The reality is that there are an infinate number of doors. What's behind one door is not necessarily better than what's behind another. We can't and won't know until we walk through it and make the choice to have that experience.

I can see it in people's faces when I talk to them, in most cases their face changes from an expression firstly of amusement (because at first they don't actually think you're being serious). Then comes amazement followed closely by fear. 'How can this be?' is the question I can see in their eyes. It's at that very moment that the seed is planted and they either start fighting it with their belief structure or they start to accept it as being a possiblility and want more information.

The reason I decided to write about this is because yesterday I was watching the Animatrix, one of the stories is about a training exercise to test if someone who 'woke up' would go back to the life they had before, the life of ignorance and being asleep. Watching it made me think what it would be like to go back to that way of thinking. There are times when I think life might be 'easier' or less complex if I hadn't woken up. Then I realised that I wouldn't want to lose the knowledge that I have gained. Once you wake up, you can't go back to sleep, and you know you can't, but that doesn't stop you wishing sometimes that maybe you could.

Here's a transcript of an MSN conversation I had tonght with someone I knew from school…

a person says:

http://surveylink.yahoo.com/wix/p1212520.aspx

a person says:

forward this email on. each time a survery is completed they donate £2 to breast cancer care

Rob… says:

i'd rather donate the £2 in person rather than complete a survey thanks

a person says:

why?

a person says:

its a few questions about celebrety mums

a person says:

and are you really gonna donate the £2 instead?

Rob… says:

and why would i want to do a survey about celebrity mums?

Rob… says:

i already have

a person says:

because even if you make up the answers the charity gets £2

a person says:

its 2 mins of your time

Rob… says:

no

a person says:

whats wrong with giving them an extra £2 for nothing?

Rob… says:

a lot

Rob… says:

can't be arsed to go into it, but it's against my principles

Rob… says:

£2 or no £2

a person says:

doing something so small for good is AGAINST your principles?

Rob… says:

'charity starts at home' not in some fucked up multi-national corporation

a person says:

but ur not even giving away ur money

Rob… says:

no, i'd be giving something far more important away

Rob… says:

my thoughts

Rob… says:

my opinions, my beliefs

a person says:

that u secretly think victoria beckham is the best dressed mum?

Rob… says:

a lot more information can be obtained through one of those 'surveys' than you'd think

a person says:

oh, rob fuck off. you really have gone fucking weird. i can't bearsed with you. you very being selfish.

This person then blocked me on MSN. YEY! Someone from way back thinks I'm 'wierd'. Top 'nana!

Aside from the [edit: crap] Yoda impersonation at the end, I can totally understand why this person may have thought that, because I would've thought I was wierd too before I woke up. However, before I woke up I would've respected their opinion and pressed the matter no further, perhaps enquired as to why they thought that and tried to see it from their perspective.

Instead this particular female (of the 'baa baa' mentality genus) decided to exert the famous 'sheep dog' bark of social 'conformity'. Goal denied.

I've made several attempts to try and wake this person up gently, to no avail, I actually don't think you could wake her up if you hit her in the shin with a metaphorical sledgehammer. Am I arsed about it? Nup. 'Some people are so dependant on the system that they will fight to protect it.'

Today's other events have been quite interesting though. Last night I made a few copies of the Alex Jones DVD called 'Martial Law 9/11: Rise of the Police State' to give to people at work. Nearly all of the copies I made were gone within the first hour of me getting into work. Go team Truth! Remember I said I was re-opening my blog because of something extra-ordinary happening? Well, two weeks ago Channel 4 in the UK broadcast a 'documentary' about the 'Falling Man' of 9/11, the guy who was photographed falling from the tower bearing a striking resemblance to the 12th tarot card which signifys sacrifice, the Hanging Man. Even the title of the 'documentary' hinted at the symbolic significance of the photo which was broadcast in every newspaper on the morning on September 12th. Of course, as you will come to realise (if you haven't already) everything you are fed in the mainstream media is bullshit (sometime spun from the truth to varying degrees) and this airing by Channel 4 was no different.

Anyway, the next day at work Klara and I independantly started talking to people about the programme and asking what people thought about it. I went into the staff room to get a drink and heard Klara talking to a woman about the program. Needless to say, this piqued my interest and I joined in. I was talking with two other people at the time also and there was another guy who works outside was reading his book just next to us. I went into the basics of 9/11, what it means and what the New World Order is. My attention turned to Klara's conversation after the two people I was talking with finished their break. We got quite involved in the conversation which seemed to be striking a chord with the lady we were talking to. The other guy who was reading his book seemed to be taking particular interest when I mentioned the New World order and the Illuminati.

As it turned out he knew about the Illuminati, the all-seeing-eye, the New World Order and the masons involvement. This pleasantly surprised me. I have never really spoken to this guy before, he always appeared to be shy and kept himself to himself, now I think I understand why. I think that maybe he was afraid of the sheep dog mentality being subjected to social conformity of speaking his mind to people. Of course, that's just a stab in the dark, a total guess. The two of us got into a really good conversation, our views differed slightly in some respects, he had a slightly religious view, while I didn't. Despite this, the underlying principle of the enslavement of humanity was the same. He mentioned to me how he's read prophecies of the destruction of Israel and how he sees these become true at the moment, something which certainly sounds possible (because, remember, anything is possible). Klara and the other lady went back to work while I carried on talking to this guy. Then another lady came into the staffroom who had evidently been speaking to Klara earlier in the day and heard this guy and I talking and joined in as well.

I was nearly gob-smacked when I heard this lady talking, she was quite possibly the person I'd least expect to hold an interest in, or have any knowledge of the topic. This is what I mean about 'gloriously fantastically uniting'. Here were people in the process of waking up right in front of me. minT! All in all I spoke to four people who were in various stages of awareness ranging from the completely unaware to the very aware.

So, after seeing this and experiencing how other people see things I decided I needed to provide some stimulus for people to get informed which is the one thing the New World Order is counting on us not to do. Afterall 'knowledge is power'. I had a difficult choice, which DVD to show people first. Well, I thought I'd start off with Martial Law because it pretty much covers everything in sufficient detail to make any sane person start thinking. As Bill Hicks implied, it's all about planting seeds, once the seed is there then it'll grow. Alex Jones sure knows his stuff so I felt that his DVD would be the best to start with. I did think about the Loose Change DVD, but that's somewhat more focussed specifically on 9/11 and the myriad of evidence to dis-prove the 'offical' story.

So, right now I've given out the DVD's, I have a week off work and will just wait to see and hear people's reactions, to see what they think because at the end of the day it's about freedom, and freedom definately includes the right to hold your own opinion (just so long as it is actually yours and not a media-induced, brainwashed opinion). If anyone needs more information (which I'm fairly sure people will because once you plant the seed it demands to be watered) or if they need more information about the details of 9/11 then I'll show them the Loose Change documentary.

Throughout all of this though, I strongly want people to actually think for themselves, and that means critically anaylising everything that they are exposed to information-wise. It's an exciting time to be alive boys and girls! 

The first line of Battlestar Galactica, and I couldn't think of a more poignant question facing humanity as a whole right now. If you answer yes, then how would you describe yourself as being alive? By being concious? By having the impression of free-will? By having sentience? By the most basic biological definition, of respiration, reproduction, organisation, growth, adaptation and response?

If someone asked me this three years ago I would have probably responded with all of the above. By the most basic definition I'd say yes, I was alive, but now, the first few responses have me a little stumped when I think about humanity as a whole. The reason I say this is that while most people think that they are alive, that they are sentient and have complete free will they are restricting themselves to only what they think 'alive' is. Free will, to go and do as you please, go anywhere, do anything, but you're restricted to what your senses tell you is 'real'.

I've become aware of this reality, it's confines which are imposed on us through an incredible amount of conditioning. In essence we've restricted ourselves by believing that we are restricted. I know of this restriction and am a strong believer in creating our own reality through the sheer unimaginable power of our spirit and sub-conscious.

Once we realise what controls us, we realise what we can control. 

Ok, so my layout's looking good… in Firefox (and mostly in IE too).

I really wish people would use Firefox as their main browser. Not only for the obvious reasons of being faster and more secure than IE but because it renders a page correctly and is standards compliant. Designing for Firefox is a breeze, designing for cross-compatibility to IE is a comparative nightmare.

Comments don't work (well, they do actually work but the form doesn't display correctly) in IE, in Firefox it does. Not that anyone actually leaves any comments but meh.

Anyway, the new design is up regardless of these current incompatibilities. Nice. 

Ok, so I posted a link to a Bill Hicks video hosted on my server, yey me 'n stuff.

Then along comes shitty yahoo and altavista video search with their robots and crawl my site. They find the link and decide to index it in their search, then I get a boom of traffic, not to my site, but solely to that video and not in any context what-so-ever. People most likely don't realise what they're doing when they happily click a link to watch a video on some SHIT search engine. They're just leeching server bandwidth without a care in the world.

Yahoo / MSN / Altavista however know exactly what they're doing. They're too damned cheap to actually do it correctly, for example the way that Google video indexes it's videos, where it downloads the video once to their servers, re-encodes it and Google then hosts the video themselves. So.. the moral of the story is… if you're searching for a video, just use Google.

In the meantime I'm now sitting back and watching (literally watching the logs) the millions of users getting a nice 404 since I re-located it. It's almost like watching a stupid person repetitively banging their head hard against a brick wall.

Due to extra-ordinary events (of which I am becoming frequent in my experience of) I have decided to re-open my site.

I'm currently working on a new backend (the stuff which runs on the server and provides you with what you see) which is taking some time, over a week of near non-stop coding in my free time.

Pretty soon I'll start actually writing stuff but for now it's behind the scenes that I'm working on.

Cheers
