Michael Moore Still In The NEWS SHOCKER!
What I found interesting is the embedded advertising.
There are 3 gifs and one flash movie
All supporting John Kerry. All raising money.
Are Reuters making assumptions?
Subconsciously.
If this advertising dissapears - I have the gifs saved ¶ Wednesday, June 30, 2004 0 Comments

Raising Interest - The American way
So the Federal Reserve Bank have adjusted rates.
All the other 'little' banks have followed suit *baaaaaaaaa*
It will produce a short term economic boom
That's what George needs right now
Some local good news, to blow away the endless corpses of the allied troops returning from Iraq.
So we get this
It's quite a pile of bullshit to wade through
This is closer to the truth
The Federal Reserve Bank is a privately owned organisation.
Your vote in the upcoming pResidential election will not change that.
Think about that America.

You can't beat the feeling.....
you get from a gut full of phosphoric acid.
Doing the rounds, undoubtedly GC but hey it's all true
Water Or Coke ???
Which one is the 'Real Thing' ???
We all know that water is important but you've never seen it written down like this before.
WATER
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world population.)
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50%less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?
COKE
1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.
2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!
Now the question is, would YOU like a glass of water or Coke? ¶ Wednesday, June 30, 2004 0 Comments

What happened to Steve Kurtz?
Art becomes the next suspect in America's 9/11 paranoia
On May 10 Steven Kurtz went to bed a married art professor. On May 11 he woke up a widower. By the afternoon he was under federal investigation for bioterrorism.
What began as a personal tragedy for Mr Kurtz has turned into what many believe is, at best, an overreaction prompted by 9/11 paranoia and, at worst, a politically motivated attempt to silence a radical artist.
The ordeal started when Mr Kurtz, who teaches at the University at Buffalo, New York state, called the emergency services when he woke up to find Hope, his wife of 25 years, had stopped breathing.
A paramedic who came to his house saw laboratory equipment used in Mr Kurtz's art work. Within hours agents from the Joint Terrorism Task Force were combing his house and had seized his books, personal papers, computer as well as his work which have still not been returned.
Hope, it transpired, had died of a heart failure which no one suggests had anything to do with Mr Kurtz or his work. But as her body lay in the house Mr Kurtz, 46, was whisked off to be questioned for two days while his home was cordoned off and searched. The FBI refuses to comment.
Mr Kurtz, who is not speaking to the press, is part of the Critical Art Ensemble, "dedicated to exploring the intersections between art, technology, radical politics and critical theory".
His art often involves blending biology with agricultural issues. In 2002 his exhibit Molecular Invasion, a statement against genetically modified crops, created a display of small soy, corn and canola plants growing under large incubating lamps. Other exhibits allowed visitors to watch bacteria grow in petri dishes. "He's trying to change the world through his work and
his discourse," says Adele Henderson, the head of the art department at the University at Buffalo. When the police came to Mr Kurtz's house they found equipment used for extracting and amplifying DNA, as well as three types of bacteria - prompting bioterrorism fears. "He is obviously not someone who is attempting to make a weapon," says Mr Cambria. "He explained that he uses the equipment for his art."
The subpoenas say the FBI is seeking charges under section 175 of the US Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, which has been expanded by the Patriot Act. It prohibits the possession of "any biological agent, toxin, or delivery system" without the justification of "prophylactic, protective, bona fide research, or other peaceful purpose". Mr Cambria argues that Mr Kurtz's work "obviously" comes under the last two categories.
"I know everything we did was legal," said Beatriz da Costa, a member of the CAE who says FBI agents followed her to an art show in Massachusetts to serve her a subpoena. "I can only think they are trying to intimidate us and maybe make us an example." Ms da Costa, a professor at the University of California, says everything found in the house has been exhibited in public before. ¶ Wednesday, June 30, 2004 0 Comments

Butler Enquiry Due on the eve of the two Parliamentry by-elections!
See also this
Lord Butler has dropped a bombshell on Downing Street by reopening the investigation into whether Prime Minister Tony Blair deliberately misled Britain over the claim that Saddam Hussein could use weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes.
So Tony, a no-doubt damning enquiry and a electoral kick in the teeth, all with in a short time-scale. Maybe then you will listen to the popular opinion and leave?
Cheers to Tim for the heads-up on this. Bloggage has been very lax this week, my apologies, but sometimes even lazy slackers like me have to go out and do some work.
I will be setting up a blogroll at somepoint this week. If you'd care for a reciprocal link leave a note in the comments of this post. ¶ Wednesday, June 30, 2004 0 Comments

Liar Liar......
pants on fire!
also worth a look
is the Daily Mislead
On the home front Unision debated a motion to call for Mr Blair
to stand down as PM. Though no mention on the conference site as of yet
Balders has since informed me:
Motion defeated, but Labour Party affiliation still open to question
If you are a Unison member then you need to ensure your conveynor is aware of The Big Intervention site and press them to submit a statement at branch level and lobby the leaders to show support with a statement. If you're a member of another trade union, the same applies.
Remember, this is why you pay your dues. You pay the leadership to represent you on a national level, just as much as at a local level. Most Unions are affiliated to the Labour party, which means your money is being used to support Blair. If you are uncomfortable about that then tell them so.
okay, rant over

Blair shifts the agenda
So Blair has decided he doesn't want to talk about Iraq anymore.
I think he may find that particular shift may not be quite so easy,
that aside there is an interesting couple of paragraphs at the end
of the article.
But, as always, everything depends on events in Iraq.
An upsurge in violence after the handover period will shatter any hopes Blair has of moving on.
And he still has to contend with a report into the intelligence he received on Iraq's weaponry -- conducted by top former civil servant Lord Butler -- which is due by mid-July.
Blair justified war on Iraq on the grounds that Saddam Hussein had banned weapons primed for use. None has been found.
"We would all like to talk about the health service but will we be allowed to?" one Labour MP pondered.
Blair's government is reeling from heavy losses in European and local government elections, earlier this month.
More tough electoral tests loom large, probably in July.
Labour MP Terry Davis said on Tuesday he would resign as member for the Hodge Hill seat in the city of Birmingham, forcing a by-election. Nearby Leicester South is also up for grabs following the recent death of sitting MP Jim Marshall.
Both should be safe Labour seats but have significant Muslim populations, making them candidates for an anti-war backlash.
Anyone out there living in either of these wards? If so get in touch

The Big Intervention, Bloggerheads, and Tim Yeo
I am actually in tears after watching this.
For two reasons; first, it is a very powerful piece, that deserves to go around the globe a 1000 times, it says what I think, and believe, far more eloquently than I ever could. It hits where it should.
The second reason is a tad more personal. I first met Tim through beer meets with other members of the usenet group ULL. He's a great guy, witty as fuck, always up for a jape and, as I learned through reading bloggerheads, a committed man when it comes to his beliefs. I'm gonna miss Bloggerheads, but the flame has been passed and I am honoured to be one of those it has been passed to.
The Big Intervention continues on via Balders and I will still be chasing personalities etc on this one because to put it quite bluntly:
BLAIR IS A LIAR AND A DESPOT AND MUST GO.
Did you get that at the back?
Tim put his everything into this. The response from the general web reading populace was pathetic. This is real, people. It's not just words on your screens. These things are happening, and your silence equals compliance.
I went out in Worcester 3 times, every time I was alone, I paid for the leaflets and posters myself but I talked to people. People who agreed with what was being proposed, people who dis-agreed occasionally but where happy to debate. The lack of response I find disquieting.
Are you all really that shallow?
Do the Governments of this globe really have you so scared that you won't speak out?
Or are you lazy and apathetic? Or just pathetic?
So Bloggerheads is going. I'm gonna keep a light burning, so I'll throw you the occasional silly stuff amongst the angst and rhetoric. But until you lot get off your arses and do something positive, I'm not gonna forgive you for the loss of Bloggerheads.
Also Tim has kindly donated the keys to the Princedom of Yeo which I will be looking after for the for-seeable future.
Tim, enjoy the rest. Keep in touch, and feel free to lambast me in the comments on this site at every possible opportunity.
and now some music

Remember that Saddam chap?
SNOWMAIL
Remember that Saddam chap?
======================
We haven't heard much about him for a while, but today we learnt that the Americans are preparing to hand Saddam Hussein over to the custody of the Iraqis. After some initial confusion between the Iraqis and the Pentagon over exactly when this will happen, the White House said it will be at what it called "an appropriate time," and did not rule out it being by the June 30th transfer of power. But what happens to him next, is there the evidence against him and will they try to execute him if guilty? Our International Editor Lindsey Hilsum is in Baghdad.

It's really about that time as a Brit I should talk about the weather
Wired 7.02: Everyone Complains About the Weather... Piers Corbyn Is Doing Something About It.
I know Piers from my days involved with the SWP and the LSA.
He does what he says he does and no one in his peer group like him.
He's a lot like his brother

Joan Ruddock MP : News Release : 05 May 2004:Half Day Debate on GM: a disgrace
Joan Ruddock MP : News Release : 05 May 2004:Half Day Debate on GM: a disgrace: "It is an absolute disgrace that the government has allocated only a half day debate on this most critical of issues. There has not been a debate on GM food and crops in government time since Labour came to office in 1997."
Yes it is a disgrace, Joan. I was a founder member of the Genetic Snowball campaign.
But a far worse situation is the here and now of Iraq. Your response to this is quite frankly appalling. But has been noted. ¶ Tuesday, June 15, 2004 3 Comments

The best bread and public transport weblog in the world...
Tis some splendid blogging on this site - and indeed bread abounds
But we have a clue to the first BI response
MP for Lewisham - let's see
and just for the record the quote:
--> Having looked at the website I have no intention of responding.
--> I am disappointed you felt you could write to me in the way you did without
--> disclosing your intentions. As it happens, I never respond to surveys.
--> I shall, however, be passing this on to the Labour Party's National Office.
This is not a survey. This is not an opinion poll. This is an intervention.
The reason we feel the need to do this is because you and you
comrades (sic) didn't get off there bottoms and do it earlier. ¶ Tuesday, June 15, 2004 1 Comments

Still nothing from Mr Foster, however Tim has had a response
but the bugger won't say who it is but it seems that
Central Office is on to us. Time to man the barricades! NOT!
In the meantime I've sat and thought about who's response
I would most like to hear and settled on my all time

Sadly his website is lacking any contact details, but I'm working on it.
If anyone can assist with the details I would be eternally grateful. ¶ Tuesday, June 15, 2004 2 Comments

Probably, but this little gem made me look again
And don't even get me started on that fucking "Little Arrow Pointing At A Rectangle" key. You know the one I mean, it started popping up next to the right Control key a few years ago. That little bastard has absolutely nothing going for it

Bad poons
I got told off by a policeman on Thursday. I emerged from the canal footpath by blockbusters to be met by the BNP battle crane. No, really, they has a fecking crane with a PA on it.
Anyway I responded by informing them that they were 'f*cking fascist wankers' and then noticed the policeman stood 6 foot from me. He very gently ticked me off, 'There's no need for that kind of language, Sir'. I muttered an apology and shuffled off. The point to this ramble is this ¶ Saturday, June 12, 2004 0 Comments

Bill Hicks 'Revelation'
Bill Hicks 'Revelation': "There is a point, is there a point to all of this? Let's find a point. "
The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..."
And we... kill those people.
Ha ha
"Shut him up."
"We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real."
Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

The Big Intervention Hits Worcester
Well I've just spent a very pleasent morning in Worcester City Centre. Several shops are displaying posters with A5 versions available for people to take away. The response was uniformally positive, although my local corner shop did decline my request to display one in the window even though they agreed with the sentiment, but that aside everyone I spoke to was up for the campaign, so I'm expecting Mike Foster to be a busy bunny over the next few days!
I'll be out again next Saturday hopefully with few more little helpers! ¶ Saturday, June 12, 2004 0 Comments

This July 4, culture jammers across the globe will deliver a blast of symbolic disobedience: we're trading the Stars-and-Stripes for Brands-and-Bands -- the symbol of all that's wrong with America. Imagine, tens of thousands of Corporate America flags waving over parades and over highways, in front of Wal-Mart and the White House -- a rallying point for a public ready for change...

Why Labour Need Leadership Change
When Labour came to power, I cried tears of happiness.
At last the despot Tory party had been removed.
I was 9 years old when Thatcher came to power and during my
formative years I saw her rip the country apart.
I watched the horrors of the 1984 Miners Strike when
soldiers dressed as civillian police battered a movement
into submission.
I come from a Socialist family; 6th generation Irish immigrants
who had seen the formation of the welfare state and at times
relied on it heavily. A state, incidentally, that they had
fought to win.
I watched an increasingly laughable Labour party stumble from
election defeat to election defeat under the unsteady hand of
Michael Foot, so I joined the Communist Party.
When Neil Kinnock took over the leadership and put the party
back on a level footing I started to gander hope that they
may finally remove Thatcher from power, but thanks to the
power of the Murdoch owned media that was not to be.
Although, living in Merseyside at the time of the Militant
debacle, I still retain immense pride in Kinnock's expulsions
of Derek Hatton and his cronies. They were leeches.
I cried tears of sheer frustration on Election night 1992.
So I went to Poly being one of the last to receive a full
maintenance grant (until the final year when I was instead
awarded a Student Loan).
When Kinnock made way for John Smith, I watched the Labour
Party transform itself into a modern socialist party.
I still remember the shock of hearing of his death . He was
without doubt the finest Labour PM we never had.
But there was still hope. A young upstart by the name of
Tony Blair was elected leader and promised to pick up where
Smith had left off. He carried on modernising and everything
looked fine, until he took a leaf out of Thatchers book.
He took on the unions, organisations representing the natural
electorate of the party. That smelt bad.
And then he sold the family jewels. That was unacceptable.
And then the unspeakable happened. Major was out, and Blair
was our new leader. With hindsight we should have kept Major,
a PM in my opinion who had no big idea, no spin, but with a
love of this country and what it has stood for through many
regime changes but who delivered, quietly and effectively.
And then came Tony
A middle class barrister with about as much in common as me
as Saddam or Bin Laden. Fortunately he had a Chancellor who
still retained some of of his socialist roots. There was still
hope.
To date Tony Blair has
reneged on election promises
took us into war after war
and lied about why we went to war
over and over again
Furthermore he has propped up a dangerous illegal regime
The final straw is that he is so dis-interested in the
electorate he can't even be shown in the party propaganda
for yesterday's election because the party already now deep
down he has become a liability.
Mr Blair, your time is up.

"DEMOCRACY IN TRACTION
=====================
I am not saying that my own voting performance is affecting the nature of our show tonight, but I can tell you that I screwed up in the booth this morning by giving my second preference for the London Mayor to the same person that I gave my first preference to - because at no point on the ballot paper does it say that you can't do this nor does it say that you are not required to vote for two people anyway. In fact, the voting process is extremely confusing and there is a case also for saying that it was asking for confusion to allow the European and local votes on the same day. We are at work on the voting confusion and found that 100,000 people did the same thing that I have done last time and
that the Electoral Reform Society urged change then, but nothing has been done. But we're also looking at women in Asian households with dominant male structures. In short, are the men presuming and executing the women's vote without giving them the right to do so for themselves?" ¶ Thursday, June 10, 2004 0 Comments

Now if you get it right second time around I might even consider taking Holy Communion, being a lapsed 'left footer'.
Just think of the applause. Downright rapturous it'd be, promise. ¶ Saturday, June 05, 2004 0 Comments

"The disgruntled shop owner was found inside the machine after a SWAT team blew it open with explosives. A statement from authorities does not give a cause of death."
Hmmmm, perchance the explosives may have played a part, maybe? ¶ Saturday, June 05, 2004 0 Comments

Now at midnight all the agents.....
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
