Phosphorus denial outweighed by evidence: Uncomparable pain and horror for the

16-01-2009 16:20

"There are many ways to “light” a battle field. In Gaza, no such area exists anyway. There are just people’s hovels, holes and “homes.” Such as they are after years of blockade and bombardment by Israeli forces. The White phorpous is a terror weapon perfect for driving people away, “never to return.” The Zionist dream is and has always been for many, at least, to remove the native Arab population and posses all of “Greater Israel.” This inhuman weapon nicknamed “Willie Pete.” is perfect for the effort. When it comes into contact with human flesh it moves down toward the bone, tissues evaporate. Victims may survive for some time before vital organs are compromised, effecting death. Parents may be forced to end their children’s wild sufferings by shortening their lives in “other ways.”

City's £16bn taxpaying con Crossrail kills Astoria and harms residensts

16-01-2009 14:59

Crossrail will lead to the closure of historic music venues such as the Astoria and threaten social housing areas while developers cash in on a railway that will cost UK taxpayers £15bn+ but benefits the City and Canary Wharf. Former slaver family Howard De Waldens who have a major stake in the developer Great Portland Estates, a company, which has somehow negotiated the ability to buy it back land for a discount while poor taxpayers subsidise it all through the help of Adrian Montague and friends. The £16bn+ Crossrail scheme was scrutinised by the MPs and Lords in the same way as the Hutton Enquiry, ie a whitewash! As a result, the Crossrail Act, given Royal Assent last summer, gives the company the right to make noise and create pollution outside existing laws. Various parts of Londoners in Hackney, Islington, Tower Hamlets, Camden and Westminster will be adversely affected by the appalling rail scheme Crossrail.
