Fresh questions have been raised over the Government's ID card project as it emerged that PA Consulting (at the centre of the criminal data fiasco) is at the heart of the £20bn ID Cards project.

Home Office ministers have placed the company at the very centre of the controversial ID card project. Its consultants were each paid £160 an hour for working on the mechanics of the ID system as well as for pushing it through the legislative process, documents released by the Government show.

Between 2004 and 2007 the company also picked up at least £31m from the Department for Work and Pensions, £20m from the Department for Communities and Local Government, £17m from the Ministry of Defence, £16m from the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, £9m from the Department for Education and its successors and £3.5m from the Cabinet Office.

The loss of the memory stick is the latest in a string of data blunders by Government departments.

The time has come to stop this madness now.

The legal questions need to come thick and fast, with the primary question being WHO OWNS THIS DATA that government departments keep putting into the public domain.

The UK Government has no right to this data. Do not willingly give this data to the government or anyone else.

The only way to stay safe and protect your identity……..don't tell the government anything.

I contend that this data belongs to us, the people, the ones to which this data refers.
Government have no right to collect it in such vast quantities beyond its initial use, that they have no right to share it with anyone, that they have no right to retain it beyond its original purpose, and that they certainly do not have any right to pass it over to 3rd parties for processing, research or for onward sale.

Governments and Civil Servants must be brought back into line quickly, and reminded in no uncertain terms that they work for us, not us for them.
They must be reminded that they have a duty of care to the citizens of this country, which they have abysmally abused.
They must be reminded that the laws in place for Data Protection apply to them as well as to everyone else, and that we expect to see some pretty high profile prosecutions occurring as a result of these data losses.

The bottom line is as follows: I own all personal information about me. I do not give any government official or civil servant permission to use that data in any other way than to perform the task for which I gave that information in the first place. Any other use of that information in any other way without my express permission in my view is illegal.

If the Home Office wants to play with databases, then the first move must be to disbar ANY companies, politicians or civil servants who lose personal data, enter them on a personal data disbar database and ensure that they never handle such data again, backed up with severe punitive penalties including prison.

We must also ensure that any compensation awarded by the courts should never come from taxpayer funds, but from the firms and individuals who lost the data.

This is worse than the paedophilia trip that the Home Office is so hung up about, this is the rape of a nation.

WTC 7 NIST report says it burned down due to out of control debris fires


The US Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the results today
of their, three-year scientific and technical building and fire safety
investigation into the collapse of WTC 7 on 9/11 – which has intrigued
many observers.

The fall of the 47-story World Trade Center
building 7 (WTC 7) was “primarily due to fires,” and “was the first
known instance of fire causing the total collapse of a tall building”.
No shit Sherlock!.

““Heating of floor beams and girders caused a
critical support column to fail, initiating a fire-induced progressive
collapse that brought the building down.” Apparently …”temperatures
“hundreds of degrees below those typically considered in current
practice for fire resistance ratings
.” induced thermal expansion which
played a “key role”. Philadelphia's One Meridian Plaza, a 38-story
skyscraper that burned for 18 hours in 1991, did not collapse due to
…”differences in the design of the structural system.

“Video
and photographic evidence combined with detailed computer simulations
show that neither explosives nor fuel oil fires played a role in the
collapse of WTC 7,” Apparently from the Q&A sheet supplied the
fires were of “debris” which “burned out of control.” , th sprinklers failed to work because the city water main had been cut. Which debris burned for six hours ?

Well
that's what NIST WTC Lead Investigator Shyam Sunder told the press when
introducing the long awaited report .Plus 3 videos ( with sub titles
for the hard of understanding )you can see here

NIST
found that the impact of debris from the collapse of WTC 1 ignited
fires on at least 10 floors of WTC 7, and the fires burned out of
control on six lower floors. The heat from these uncontrolled fires
caused thermal expansion of the steel beams on the lower floors of the
east side of WTC 7, damaging the floor framing on multiple floors.
Eventually, a girder on Floor 13 lost its connection to a critical
interior column that provided support for the long floor spans on the
east side of the building. The displaced girder and other local
fire-induced damage caused Floor 13 to collapse, beginning a cascade of
floor failures down to the fifth floor. Many of these floors had
already been at least partially weakened by the fires in the vicinity
of the critical column. This collapse of floors left the critical
column unsupported over nine stories.

“When this critical column
buckled due to lack of floor supports, it was the first domino in the
chain,” Sunder explained. “What followed in rapid succession was a
progression of structural failures. Failure first occurred all the way
to the roof line—involving all three interior columns on the most
eastern side of the building. Then, progressing from east to west
across WTC 7, all of the columns in the core of the building failed.
Finally, the entire façade collapsed.”

Better minds, sharper brains, skilled engineers, sceptical demolition men will take some time to plough through this.

We are struck by the ruse of getting the defence in first…

“WTC
7 did not enter free fall. According to NIST analysis of WTC 7 video,
the building collapsed 18 stories in 5.3 seconds. If the building
exhibited free fall, this process would have taken just 3.9 seconds.
The actual collapse time exceeded the free fall time by 40 percent.”

There
is also a wonderful explanation about why thermite wasn't used … and
why in three years they examined no physical evidence.

If you believe that ….

The
building was empty … a useful precaution as the BBC warned everyone
20 minutes before it fell that … er … it had already fallen.
