Open Question: Could the government privatise these companies in order to stave of cutting the deficit dramatically?

Obviously I've not included the NHS or schools, but if the government privatised these companies it would have ten's of billions extra, and of course increased taxes from the increase in efficiency and productivity in these companies (some of which turn over billions a year). Maybe not all of them (the BBC would be met with resistance) but if push came to shove they could. Or else it could not spend the money and pay down the national debt. Or else spend the money on infrastructure or something or cut taxes.

Resolved Question: What would you do if your spouse needed a bone marrow donation,&a blood agency's database showed I was a match?

but I was a snooty, mean & rich (can't be bribed) person and I only signed up in the registry in case I needed to donate to friends, family or people I deemed "worthy". And I said it wasn't worth painfully extracting the bone marrow to donate to your spouse (anyone over 40 that doesn't have a graduate degree/your spouse wasn't good looking or accomplished enough/etc.)? And if you don't get my donation, it is very unlikely that you will find another perfect match (Even with millions of donors on registries worldwide, a perfect stem cell match isn't always available. Some patients have uncommon antigens that may be very difficult to match. In these instances, even with everyone's best efforts, it may be impossible to find a donor. )It is a hypothetical question, it is unlikely that anyone here needs a bone marrow donation more

Resolved Question: was there a “Falsified” Swine Flu Pandemic?

In order to promote their patented drugs and vaccines against flu, did pharmaceutical companies influence scientists and official agencies, responsible for public health standards to alarm governments worldwide and make them squander tight health resources for inefficient vaccine strategies and needlessly expose millions of healthy people to the risk of an unknown amount of side-effects of insufficiently tested vaccines? more

Resolved Question: The great Bilderberg conspiracy and “The Obama Deception”?

Last week I was sent a link to view “The Obama Deception” on YouTube. It is a hard-hitting conspiracist movie that attempts to undermine what some regard as the myth of President Barack Obama. It is similar in theme to Zeitgeist Addendum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw The central theme of the movie “The Obama Deception” is that the Obama phenomenon is a carefully crafted hoax by the highest levels of his administration, which is infested with members of a shadowy, elitist international cabal known as the Bilderberg group; a group of grandees of the New World Order intent on installing a one-world government. In it, Obama is characterized as the “puppet” and “frontman” for the group whose real aim is to con the American people, and indeed the world, into accepting global slavery. Interestingly unprovable theory so far. So what is the Bilderberger group and who makes up their numbers? It is said that in 1954, the most powerful men in the world met for the first time under the auspices of the Dutch royal crown and the Rockefeller family in the luxurious Hotel Bilderberg of the small Dutch town of Oosterbeck. Apparently, for an entire weekend, they debated the future of the world and that when it was over they decided to meet once every year to exchange ideas and analyze international affairs. Reportedly on one website said that “ever since then, they have gathered yearly in a luxurious hotel somewhere in the world ‘arrogantly plotting the subversion and silent takeover of constitutional governments everywhere. Their goal is a World Government run exclusively by their hand-picked puppets’.” It is also said that they screen and choose America's leaders and even determine who will run on the Democratic and Republican Party tickets. On one random Google search I found that among this so-called elitist membership, names include David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Timothy Geithner, George Soros, Alan Greenspan, Rupert Murdoch, and many others. The list includes prominent persons in politics, the military, financial institutions, major corporations, academia, and the media. The film goes on to suggest that Obama is continuing the process of transforming America into a state that resembles Nazi Germany, with forced national service, domestic civilian spies, warrantless wiretaps, the destruction of the Second Amendment and martial law. It also offers conjecture that the real power brokers behind “Obama's façade” are openly announcing the creation of a new Bank of the World that will dominate every nation on earth through carbon taxes and military force and that international bankers have purposefully engineered the implosion of the global economy by means of a worldwide financial meltdown in order to bankrupt all the nations of the planet and bring about their cherished World Government. And, in doing so, they would be in the position to buy up high-value assets of the world’s largest corporations at rock-bottom prices. The scenario they paint is one tantamount to the communist era of Mao and Stalin, with Obama as the spokesman appointed to achieve the real task of looting the middle class, destroying pensions and to federalize the states so that the population is completely dependent on the central government. It sounds crazy, right? But what this group of very persistent conspiracy theorists insists is that the entire administration has somehow been appointed because of their relations, past and present, to the Bilderberger group, the Federal Reserve and the CFR. The Fed, they point out, was given its name only as a way of legitimizing it, by stealth, that it is a government agency, whereas in fact, they argue, it is a private banking organization. But maybe it is precisely this exclusive roster of globally influential figures that has captured the imagination of an international network of conspiracists, who for decades have viewed the Bilderberg conference as a devious corporate-globalist plot. Indeed, on politico.com, one conspiracist is quoted as saying: “The one thing that concerns me is that the people who surround Obama or Bush generally come from the same philosophic viewpoint and they have their organizations – they have the Trilateral Commission, the CFR [Council on Foreign Relations] and the Bilderbergers, and they’ve been around a long time. And my biggest concern is what they preach: Keynesian economics and interventionism and world planning,” he said. While it's easy to dismiss the conspiracists as nothing more than a bunch of unhinged cranks, Obama’s selection of numerous named “Bilderbergees” for key posts has heightened their concerns and politico.com went on to publish: “I don’t laugh at the people who claim that they understand the connections, but I’ve never really spent much time tracing that through,” said Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), a former presidential candidate whose libertarian more

Resolved Question: Advice on patents please.?

Hi, I have for a while now had what I consider to be a very good and viable idea which I would like to devolop further. I have approached an agency, exchanged confidentiality agreements and let them evaluate my idea. They have replied telling me that my idea is very viable and has a huge potential market. They recommend that I pay for a worldwide patent search to protect this idea which they can do for £465 plus vat. Now the problem is that I cant afford this and wont be able to for a long time. My question is, is there a better option for me than using an agent and is there any kind of funding I may be able to get to help me?Any advice will be most appreciated.

Resolved Question: PLZ LOOK AT THIS. The New World Order?

The term New World Order (NWO) has been used by numerous politicians through the ages, and is a generic term used to refer to a worldwide conspiracy being orchestrated by an extremely powerful and influential group of genetically-related individuals (at least at the highest echelons) which include many of the world's wealthiest people, top political leaders, and corporate elite, as well as members of the so-called Black Nobility of Europe (dominated by the British Crown) whose goal is to create a One World (fascist) Government, stripped of nationalistic and regional boundaries, that is obedient to their agenda. There will be no middle class, only rulers and the servants. All laws will be uniform under a legal system of world courts practicing the same unified code of laws, backed up by a One World Government police force and a One World unified military to enforce laws in all former countries where no national boundaries shall exist.Who is the NWO? The corporate portion of the NWO is dominated by international bankers, oil barons and pharmaceutical cartels, as well as other major multinational corporations. The Royal Family of England, namely Queen Elizabeth II and the House of Windsor, (who are, in fact, descendants of the German arm of European Royalty - the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family - changed the name to Windsor in 1914), are high level players in the oligarchy which controls the upper strata of the NWO. The decision making nerve centers of this effort are in London (especially the City of London), Basel Switzerland, and Brussels (NATO headquarters). The United Nations, along with all the agencies working under the UN umbrella, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), are full time players in this scheme. Similarly, NATO is a military tool of the NWO.Listen to the Zionist* banker, Paul Warburg: "We will have a world government whether you like it or not. The only question is whether that government will be achieved by conquest or consent." (February 17, 1950, as he testified before the US Senate). Their intention is to effect complete and total control over every human being on the planet and to dramatically reduce the world's population by two thirds. While the name New World Order is the term most frequently used today to loosely refer to anyone involved in this conspiracy, the study of exactly who makes up this group is a complex and intricate one. For further research sources, please see the side bar on the left. more

Resolved Question: Do you know when “International Missing Children’s Day” is?

25th March 2009 will be the day. Five missing UK children will be featured as part of “International Missing Children’s Day”. These will include Katrice Lee, missing since November 1981 and Madeleine McCann, missing since May 2007. Over the last twenty years the UK has 76 girls and 69 boys still missing. This special day was started in the USA in1979 and has spread worldwide since. Near to the day badges and wristbands will be available to the public to enable them to show support for the grieving parents. Do you think if all the countries in the world could mobilise their army and police and all government agencies and every other kind of organisation to mount a concerted search it could make any difference? I’d like to think so but I guess that is asking too much! Source: uk.missingkids.comMisty Blue: That’s exactly right. There is help for young people but they need help to access it. There is an example of one young person who had been reported missing 78 times in one year. Each time the police logged it as an isolated incident. None of the agencies had any idea how serious this case was. There must be improved reporting of data. There needs to be a clearer picture of what happens to children when they run away or go missing. A closer look at the statistics is even more disturbing. About a 100,000 children are reported missing EACH year, most are runaways. Sadly, despite the scale of the problem, there are no national data on missing children in the UK. The government is well aware of the situation when one MP is reported as saying “We have more data on missing cars than we have on missing children.”Spencer D: You are right too, of course, but I was referring to uk.missingkids.com. who had the 145 kids missing in the last 20 years listed on their data base and STILL missing. Maybe there could be many more but without a national reporting system no one can be sure. more

Resolved Question: Are you all aware of the dangers of diet / sugar free food and drink?

Aspartame. This sweetener is marketed under a number of trademark names, including Equal, NutraSweet, and Canderel, and is an ingredient of approximately 6,000 consumer foods and beverages sold worldwide. It is commonly used in diet soft drinks, and is provided as a table condiment in some countries. It is also used in some brands of chewable vitamin supplements and common in many sugar-free chewing gums and has now been found in some chewing gums that are not sugar free. However, aspartame is not always suitable for baking because it often breaks down when heated and loses much of its sweetness. In the European Union, it is also known under the E number (additive code) E951. Aspartame is also one of the sugar substitutes used by people with diabetes. Because sucralose, unlike aspartame, retains its sweetness after being heated, it has become more popular as an ingredient. This, along with differences in marketing and changing consumer preferences, has caused aspartame to lose market share to sucralose. Aspartame has been the subject of controversy regarding its safety and the circumstances of its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Some critics believe it to be the cause of a number of illnesses, but no conclusive scientific evidence has been produced to support the validity of their theories. To this day, the health effects of aspartame have been under intensive study. The artificial sweetener aspartame has been the subject of public controversy regarding its safety since the 1980s and the circumstances around its approval, and its shelf stability. Some studies recommended further investigation into any possible connection between aspartame and diseases such as brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma. These findings, combined with alleged conflicts of interest in the approval process, have been the focus of vocal activism regarding the possible risks of aspartame. The conspiracy theories, claims of aspartame dangers, and the source of those claims has been the subject of critical examination. In 1987, the US Government Accountability Office concluded that the food additive approval process had been followed for aspartame. Based on government research reviews and recommendations from advisory bodies such as the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Food and the Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives, aspartame has been found to be safe for human consumption by more than ninety countries world-wide. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration states that the safety of aspartame is "clear cut" and "one of the most thoroughly tested and studied food additives the agency has ever approved." more

Aftershocks in China before Torch Returns CBNNews.com August 1 http://www.CBNNews.com - A powerful aftershock hit southwest China's Sichuan province Friday, killing one and injuring more than a dozen. CBN News Senior Reporter George Thomas is in China to cover next week's Olympic games and was miles from the epicenter when the quake struck. Click play to view his report. The Xinhua news agency said the aftershock on Friday measured a 6.1 on the Richter scale. The epicenter of the quake was on the border of Pingwu and Beichuan counties, both of which were devastated by the May 12 quake.

Finance The LOTTERY COORDINATOR. en. beijing2008. cn AND THE SCAM PART IS THIS: Scam Related to the 2008 Beijing OlympicsWe have recently seen a scam purporting to be from the China National Offshore Oil Corporation that makes claims of winning money and a trip to the Beijing Olympics in 2008. The email looks like the usual "Winning Notification" lottery emails that are all too common. However, the twist is that not only do you "win" money, but you also win a trip to the 2008 Olympics. This is the first scam that we have seen that tries to live off the name of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. The China National Oil Corporation is currently a hot stock market pick and owns a certain portion of valuable crude oil worldwide. By utilizing this known company to promote a "free" trip to the Olympics the scammer is looking to receive a lot of interest on this offer. And what does the spammer hope to receive in return? Valuable personal information. Here is a sample of one of the spam emails: From: XXXXXX@hotmail.com Subject: CONGRATULATION!!!!

This is a classic example of enticement. Scammers that pretend to come from a well known source immediately ease the recipient's doubts using the "known" factor. Then, they offer up free goods. In this case, the free goods consist not only of money but also coveted Olympics tickets. As always, be cautious of opening and/or responding to unsolicited email. Before you open any email, be certain that you are expecting the email or at least have a good idea of what it is about, you know the sender, and that the sender's email address is familiar. The unfortunate part of this classic type of ruse is that in many cases, the old adage applies: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Resolved Question: This is my translation of an italian article on the Great Wall..could you read it and correct the errors?10pt?

It's the vastest work ever realized by humanity, the most immense object that our specie has left on this planet, and according to a diffused occidental believing, the unique human construction visible from the moon. Recently a worldwide survey among the eight world wonders. But the survival of the Great Wall, started to be built in 220 BC according to the willing of Emperor Shang Huangdi, risks to be brief. In twenty years time probably it will no longer be there. It will have been corroded, consumed, powdered by the sandstorms which are blowing more and more violently from the north of China. It will end up for being the most illustrious victim of industrial development and of the dramatic increase of pollution, because sandstorms are a meteorological phenomenon always known in China, but in the last decades their frequency has immoderately increased (has risen out of all proportions). The warning on the gradual death of the Wall is not coming from western environmental organizations but from Chinese authorities themselves. It has been broadcast by the Government press agency. It reveals that one section of the huge fortification are reduced to a pile of debris. The latest insult: massive tourism. In the areas near Beijing, the towers are daily invaded by such a boundless stream of visitors as to hide the monument itself. If in 20 years time the storms will have completed the destruction work, the only pieces still visible of the Great Wall will be the ones of the copies reconstructed in Disneyland. more

Resolved Question: Al Qaida: a man made enemy pulled from the realms of fantasy? Whats the reality?

The myth of "al Qaida" is built on an expansive foundation of many half-truths and hidden facts. It is a CIA creation. It was shaped by the agency to serve as a substitute "enemy" for America, replacing the Soviets whom the Islamist forces had driven from Afghanistan. Unknown American officials, at an indeterminate point in time, made the decision to fabricate the tale of a mythical worldwide network of Islamic terrorists from the exploits of the Afghan Mujahedeen. The CIA already had their own network of Islamic militant "freedom fighters," all that was needed were a few scattered terrorist attacks against US targets and a credible heroic figurehead, to serve as the "great leader." The really tricky part of creating a mythical terrorist monster out of an incomplete truth is laying-out the facts behind your mythical story without revealing the whole truth about your part in its creation. In order to explain away the billions of dollars worth of weapons and training that went into the operation, they chose a rich jihadi, a Saudi millionaire named Osama bin Laden, who had been a faithful recruiter and business agent of the Mujahedeen. He was painted as the sole financier of the entire enormous operation that was centered in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Bin Laden may not even have known that he was playing a part in a deceitful CIA global drama until after the fact. It is more likely that his history was chosen many years later to serve as the legacy of "al Qaida," than it is that he was a brainwashed tool of the spy agency all along. more

Resolved Question: Cancer deaths to hit 17 million in 2030?

Cancer deaths will more than double to 17 million people each year in 2030 with poor countries shouldering the heaviest burden from the disease, the head of the United Nation's cancer agency said on Monday but do you think it will be good chance of me geting it. i will be 38 years old and what about you are you afrade you get it.it said in the news that An ageing population will bump up cancer rates worldwide in the coming years, especially in developing countries where the number of people who smoke and drink is on the rise, said Peter Boyle, director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer. And the disease will hit poorer countries harder because of limited health budgets and a lack of treatments such as radiotherapy that can extend people's lives, he told the European Cancer Conference. "If we put population growth and ageing to one side the exportation of cancer risk factors, primarily tobacco smoking, from developed countries will continue to be a major determinant of cancer risk and cancer burden in less developed countries," he said. For many years, many thought cancer was mainly a problem in rich nations in part because health officials assumed people in poorer countries did not live long enough to develop cancer. This trend is changing, however, as residents of these nations live longer and continue cancer-causing activities like smoking that are declining in Western countries, Boyle said. This will fuel a dramatic increase in worldwide cancer with the disease likely killing 17 million people each year by 2030, up from the current 7 million. The number of people diagnosed and living with cancer will treble to 75 million, he said. "The big issue is ageing," he said. "The speed of the ageing of the population is something which is dramatically increasing, especially in the low and medium resource countries." But he said Europe offers an example that something can be done because even as cancer cases rise, the disease is killing fewer people these days than expected. This shows that programmes such as increased screening and education aimed at preventing tobacco use helped whittle EU cancer deaths to 935,219 in 2000, nearly 10 percent below expectations. "This approach has clearly paid off," he said. "In Europe good quality care exists for the great majority of people." This is not the case in many poor countries, however, he said, noting that at least 30 African and Asian countries do not have radiotherapy machines. Because of these kinds of deficiencies, more people will needlessly die from a rise in cancer and other chronic diseases that will stretch national health systems to the limit, he said.
