Propaganda packs sent to schools

IanPJ Main Page Add you comment

Despite the
lack of scientific debate, despite the lack of balance, Defra is determined to
indoctrinate our kids and send climate change propaganda into our schools, in a move worthy of Joseph Goebbels.

The Defra
Press Release says:

A resource pack to help
teachers and pupils explore and understand the issues surrounding climate
change was sent to every secondary school in England today.

Its not balanced with alternative arguments.

The pack, which includes
the Al Gore film An Inconvenient Truth
and a number of other resources, was developed by Defra and the Department for
Education and Skills. It is accompanied by online teaching guidance
showing how to use the resources in the pack in science, geography and
citizenship lessons.

We already know that this film is the base tool
for the biggest scam on earth, the Carbon Credits Market and propagation of GM
Crops.

Schools Minister Jim Knight
said:

“Climate change is one of
the most important challenges facing our planet today. This pack will help to
give young people information and inspiration to understand and debate the
issues around climate change, and how they as individuals and members of a
community should respond to it.”

They cannot debate anything unless they have the
alternative views available to them.

Climate Change and
Environment Minister Ian Pearson said:

“There is a clear
scientific consensus on the causes and impacts of climate change. Climate
change is not solely an environmental issue – it is a challenge for the
economy, for health, and for our way of life now, and in the decades ahead.

The scientific consensus is one of bulldozed
politics, any scientist who disagrees and wishes to apply alternative
scientific evidence to the argument is silenced, sacked, outcast or given death
threats.

“The commitment and
enthusiasm of young people will be essential to meeting this challenge. We must
ensure that they have the tools and the information they need to make informed
decisions about their lives and their communities, which this pack for
secondary schools will help to provide.”

Agree, but only when they have the right tools,
with the right answers. Balanced debate requires ALL
alternatives to be explored, not just one sided propaganda.

The pack contains:

DVD copy of An Inconvenient Truth
DVD containing four short films
commissioned by Defra:

Tomorrow’s Climate, Today’s
Challenge
My CO2
Diaries of the Climate Change
Champions
The Carbon Cycle animation by Climate Change
Champion Sofia Selska

A leaflet on the Sustainable Schools Year of
Action

Links to comprehensive online guidance on how
teachers can use these resources in the classroom.

The pack is being sent to
nearly 5000 secondary schools in England, and forms part of the Sustainable
Schools year of action, which aims to support all schools to become models of
sustainable best practice.

Propaganda in Schools is illegal, and is in breach of the Education
Act 2002. Parents are threatening
legal action if this information is sent to schools across the UK.

The European Parliament approves new ‘anti-piracy’ directive

IanPJ Main Page Add you comment

The
European Parliament voted yes on the new controversial directive Ipred 2 which
concludes that all kinds of infringement of the intellectual copyrights will be
considered criminal.

The
directive is actually stricter than that and even criminalizes attempts of
infringing on copyrights. In theory this means that basically all video
sites, P2P developers and other services used to spread material around
the web is criminal.

There is an
exception though and that is the end-user. If this user downloads pirated
material and use this only for his own entertainment, study or research he or
she can not be prosecuted through the new directive.

Ipred 2
has been harshly criticized from day 1 by people saying it in turn infringes on
people freedom of speech and even been considered a lobby directive from the
media industry.

The goal is
to harmonize (European Parliament's choice of word) the copyright laws of the
member countries of the EU through the new directive.

The fines
and penalties will be adjusted by some countries according to the new
directive, but they still vary quite a lot between the European countries where
Great Britain are the strictest with up to 10 years in prison, while the same
crime only pays three months in Greece.

“Parliament, in approving today the report by Nicola
Zingaretti (PES, IT) by 374 votes to 278 with 17 abstentions, has backed the
overall aim of the Commission proposal, while amending some of its provisions.
The EP excluded patent rights from the scope of the directive, and decided that
criminal sanctions should apply only to infringements deliberately carried out
to obtain a commercial advantage. Piracy committed by private users for
personal, non-profit purposes is therefore also excluded.”

Soon it will be a criminal offence to speak, just in case someone else has already spoken those words. This level of criminalisation across europe is now getting totally out of hand, where ordinary citizens have no say in the laws being imposed upon them by the UNELECTED European Commission.

No doubt John Reid will use this as
the excuse for controlling the blogging world.

Data privacy row rages in Germany

IanPJ Main Page Add you comment

German
intelligence agencies have stopped secret Internet monitoring of suspects'
computers.

German
Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble faced massive criticism this week after it
was revealed that German intelligence agencies were secretly snooping on
terrorism suspects via the Internet. Schäuble has ordered a temporary halt
to the practice.

Intelligence
agencies have monitored suspects' computers via the Internet for two years,
according to members of the Bundestag's interior affairs committee.

Representatives
from all political parties questioned the legality of the practice. Critics say
the secret searches violate Article 13 of the German basic law, which governs
privacy.

However, a special
law already exists in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia which allows
computers to be searched without their owners' knowledge.

Germany's interior intelligence agency, the
Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) has been accessing
private data via the Internet since June, 2005. The prior interior minister,
Otto Schily, altered regulations to allow it. According to the Chancellor's
office, a decision by the German Federal Court in January, 2007, which allowed
for online data searches to be prosecuted, does not apply to the Federal
Intelligence Service (BND).

But politicians argue that Schily's regulations do not provide a sustainable
legal foundation for Internet spying.

Politicians from other
parties have maintained scepticism over the necessity of the program and have
expressed concern that it violates privacy.

Berlin's state interior minister, Ehrhart
Körting, said the practice was not very efficient, because it catches only the
least sophisticated computer users who don't know how to defend against
so-called trojan programs.
