1. Science gains again over superstition. The human animal is just another animal after all with nothing special to cause there to be any distinction from the natural world. Many would like to believe otherwise, but then they are delusional. Tis a pity that the blessing of consciousness has led to such an abuse. Education, education, education where art thee? Preservation and protection of all life should be the top priority. There is no reason to deny genetic research when it is carefully accomplished in an open manner.
I am far more concerned about those who feel free to carry out extremely destructive activity against others such as I am experiencing by the use of surveillance technology for eight and three quarter years. What is far more alarming is the fact that there are those who can do this for all these years 24/7 well known to scores if not hundreds including many in significant positions of authority against a background of a whole set of laws, regulations, policies and procedures that should prevent this destructive behaviour.
When this is permitted to occur knowingly and deliberately by those in authority, arguments over medical research concerning cells and genetics are quite ludicrous. Where are the arguments about this extremely lethal surveillance R&D and medical experimentation against a nonconsenting adult human being? There is no means available to address this problem, and those disposed to this violent abuse of power blame the victim and get away with it. These are the real problems. The genetic research which creates such controversy is nothing by comparison to these abuses of medical research of a truly monstrous kind.

Ministers bow to hybrid pressure
 Embryo research will be controlled |
Ministers have bowed to pressure to allow the creation of human animal hybrid embryos for research.
When the ban was proposed last year there were fears among scientists it would hamper medical breakthroughs.
Hybrid embryos will only be allowed for research into serious disease and scientists will require a licence.
Scientists welcomed the proposals put forward in the draft fertility bill, but opponents questioned the ethics of using human cells in this way.

2. Schizoid Blair fails to admit the catastrophe of what the US and UK have done in Iraq as a Chatham House (formerly known as the Royal Institute of International Affairs) report declares that there is a distinct possibility of collapse in Iraq. Blair meets with Bush today in their last joint meeting while he is still Prime Minister despite the fact that Gordon Brown is unopposed in the election race for leader of the Labour party. He will be the next Prime Minster of the UK. Blair should resign now instead of remaining until 27th June doing more and more damage to this country and the world. I heard part of this news conference today.
It was a travesty of what any rational, reasonable and decent person would say by its equivocation on words like freedom once again when this is what is denied me and has been denied 24/7 for almost nine years in London by the use of totally invasive surveillance technology in the hands of the sadistic carrying out extreme torture abuse 24/7 for all these years. Tony Blair knows full well all that is happending and does nothing to stop it. He is no more then the worst bully of the lot allowing the others to carry on with this extreme abuse of power blaming the victim while he manipulates the public with palliative words like freedom which no one believes or trusts anymore. Tony Blair is a tyrant of the worst kind.
The bullies carrying out this government activity continue to abuse in the extreme hoping to wear down to the point of total domination and control where there is no resistance. That will only come with death, and they have stated that they will continue indefinitely until death before they stop. They are being allowed to do this by those in significant postions of authority because they all believe that they can get away with the destruction of human life by blaming the victim. Those who would protest are silenced by the fear of being treated in the same way. There is more than the Iraq government which is at risk from collapse. This is the Enron of governments which will implode one day from its own vacuity.

Bush and Blair defend war record
 Mr Bush praised Mr Blair as a 'good friend' during the heartfelt farewell |
Tony Blair and George W Bush have reaffirmed the decisions they took over war in Iraq and said their countries would stay united against terrorism.
The British prime minister is on a final trip to Washington before stepping down at the end of June.
The two men - close allies for six years - praised each other's record.
Mr Bush called the British PM "a clear, strategic thinker". Mr Blair said the US president had been "unyielding, unflinching and determined".
Mr Blair insisted he would take the same decision again to stand "shoulder to shoulder" with America in the aftermath of the 11 September attacks.

War-torn Iraq 'facing collapse'
 Rival factions are struggling for local supremacy in Iraq |
Iraq faces the distinct possibility of collapse and fragmentation, UK foreign policy think tank Chatham House says.
Its report says the Iraqi government is now largely powerless and irrelevant in many parts of the country.
It warns there is not one war but many local civil wars, and urges a major change in US and British strategy, such as consulting Iraq's neighbours more.
The report comes as Iran said Iranian and US diplomats would hold talks on 28 May on the security situation in Iraq.

Iraq 'facing grim future'
By James Robbins, BBC Diplomatic Correspondent
 Four years since the invasion, violence in Iraq is unrelenting |
The leading foreign policy think-tank, Chatham House, is warning that Iraq faces the distinct possibility of collapse and fragmentation.
A new report from the London-based Chatham House, also known as the Royal Institute of International Affairs, argues that the Iraqi government is now largely powerless and irrelevant in large parts of the country, as a range of local civil wars and insurgencies are fought.
The report urges a radical change in American and British strategy to try to rescue the situation.
It is not the first time Chatham House - a highly respected foreign policy institution in London - has been highly critical of American and British strategies in Iraq.
This latest paper, written by Dr Gareth Stansfield, a Middle East expert, is unremittingly bleak.
Dr Stansfield, of Exeter University and Chatham House, argues that the break-up of Iraq is becoming increasingly likely.
In large parts of the country, the Iraqi government is powerless, he says, as rival factions struggle for local supremacy.
The briefing paper, entitled Accepting Realities in Iraq, argues that "There is not 'a' civil war in Iraq, but many civil wars and insurgencies involving a number of communities and organisations struggling for power."
4. The all powerful job of Prime Minister is handed to Gordon Brown by 313 Labour party MPs making it impossible for anyone to stand in opposition to his leadership of the party. This has been accepted as justified for the nation by one who replied that it was the Labour party who ruled. Interesting. I hadn't noticed in the past decade that the Labour party ruled this country. I guess they say whatever suits their purpose of the moment.
Gordon Brown will now take over as Prime Minister on 27th June 2007 without having obtained a Parliamentary majority to do so in a general election. There will also be all these weeks from now until then when Tony Blair will remain as Prime Minister having announced his intention to resign. Why doesn't he just go? The government of this country is risible. One is tempted to ask what government then add something about a despotism.
Gordon Brown was saying today how he wanted to get out and talk with everyone to see what people wanted. My response is simple: stop the 24/7 surveillance technology imprisonment, torture interrogation, medical experimentation and surreptitious medication on a nonconsenting adult outside a hospital environment. He wants to go out and talk with the doctors and nurses in the NHS. Why doesn't he talk with some of these who are rolled out into the community carrying out an extreme abuse of power by destroying human life using a human being as an experimental guinea pig? I suspect he will be selective about those with whom he speaks since he doesn't want to know the truth.
Mr Humble Pie says he is "truly humbled" by the Labour party backing. Who was out there whipping up the 313 nominations? This reeks of control freakery at its worst. Is this the Labour party's politics of fear driving everyone to clamber aboard the Brown ship in order to get on the next government. These are not people who are going to rock the boat, and this country needs some good rocking. As long as the surveillance technology abuse continues 24/7, this government is in deep, deep criminal activity below the water line. This is the gash that has opened too many water tight compartments. This Labour government is a rudderless ship of fools due to a lack of fundamental standards and values embarking on a massive coverup that will inevitably lead to its sinking. Deck chairs, deck chairs oh where are the deck chairs?

Brown 'humbled' by Labour backing
 |  Mr Brown will not face a contest to be Labour leader  |
Brown statement Gordon Brown says he is "truly humbled" by the scale of the backing given to him by Labour MPs as their choice to succeed Tony Blair as prime minister.
Mr Brown was supported by so many Labour MPs his only rival could not get enough backers to trigger a contest.
Accepting the nomination Mr Brown said he would seek to "rebuild trust in politics" and promised to lead a government with "new priorities".
Mr Brown is set to take over as prime minister from Mr Blair on 27 June.
He said the 313 nominations he received from Labour MPs "shows to the country a party wholly united in its determination not to retreat into the past, but going forward as New Labour".
