Shock and Awe tactics along with Bribery used by Nuclear Industry in Cumbria

marianne birkby, 03-04-2009 13:59

The nuclear industry appear to be using the same tactics as George Bush’s

Three possible sites have been put forward for nuclear new build in
Cumbria. One is Sellafield, which is described by the industry as ‘least
preferred’ because of the decommissioning work. The other two sites of
Kirksanton and Braystones are greenfield and include areas of European
wildlife importance. Read more >>

Caesar’s-Messiah’s Vicar Calls for Peace (Again) in Georgia?

Caesar’s-Messiah’s Vicar Calls for Peace (Again) in Georgia?

Unfortunately, the Pope and his enormous empire is quite capable of suing the whole world. Through Opus Dei, he already owns most of the Supreme Courts and , in some countries, he even has a Special Place drafted into their Constitution. This was so for the Republic of Ireland and East Timor; and , if you looked closely enough at a couple of dozen other Catholic countries , you would find the same anti-secular bias, even when such countries brag about 'every citizen being equal before the law'. Catholicism makes tin-pot dictatorships out of the most well-meaning countries. One has only to mention Spain, Portugal and Austria to see what they did to these countries in the past, or to Spain, Italy or Germany before , during and after WW11. The personality of the Christian, when you have taken away the Janus-mask of White Pope (who does the PR from the Vatican) and the Black Pope , who does the biz abroad, is one of deception, forgery, incalculable violence and aggression ,not just to women and children in 'State-run Catholic schools', but in the broadest theaters of universal civil and international war.
