the uk government has announced that it is very serious about making it compulsory for citizens to carry an id card in view of the risk of subversive activity increasing.
it seems to me that this is the thin edge of the wedge.
i spent years trying to get out of a repressive organisation, and then even more years getting that organisations brain-washing out of my head.
My biggest problem with ID cards is that they are very easy to forge. I really don’t think they will accomplish much. Biometrics on the other hand could make terrorism very difficult. I could foresee that in a couple of years you would have to do a retinal scan at every Mass transit terminal (airlines, trains, etc). I could see some industry having their employees likewise scan to get to work; places like refineries, chemical plants, and other sensitive jobs. This would make certain aspects of our life a little less free but not interfere with our general day to day living.
Also congress is debating adding a ‘sunset clause’ to all the new legislation they are talking about. What this means is that the legislation would expire in two years unless congress votes to continue it.

i know, what a weird title for a thread.. over a year ago, i read in some news media of speculation in the .
intelligence community that terrorists were in the beginning stages.
of launching a biological-terrorist attack in the u.s.. in the article was the belief that muslim (islamic fanatic) women arriving by airflights into the u.s., were the smugglers of genetically-engineered/modified anthrax bacteria cultures, by concealing these cultures in some form of protective casings, within their vaginas.... much the same way some drug smugglers bring in heroin or cocaine into the country by putting it in condoms and cramming these into whatever body orifice they can.. then these women would deliver the goods to 'underground' laboratories in the u.s. (could be someone's kitchen or basement) for growing these cultures of biological strains into enough of a quantity of bacteria to release in an attack.... and then 9/11 came.. and then this article appears in the media:.
This is actually technically very difficult. To transfer chemical agents from a container to the cropduster chemical tank would probably result in the terrorist killing themselves in short order. As far as biological agents this is more of a threat, 4 out of 5 of the major biological threats however are treatable with standard antibiotics. Just some information.

the following was sent to me by a friend, a reform jewish rabbi.
i present it in its entirety, with edits only to remove details about identity and location.
i thought it would be an interesting perspective and one not normally available to us as ex-jw's.
I have no problem with religion, but I think the first step to world peace is for each country to neuter their own religionist.

as it was at most u.s. airports, last saturday was the first near-normal.
day at denver international since the terrorist attacks.
I saw an interview with a pilot for a major airline last Tuesday. The pilot said that if you fly now you should always keep you seat belt on; the reason being that if the plane is subject to an attempted hijacking they have orders to depressurize the cabin (this means you must breath through the air mask or die) and to go through a series of violent maneuvers to make sure whoever is not buckled in cannot walk.

If they had dual citizenship they would be considered Americans. And the news I am watching is not differentiating between nationalities, it is just giving the total number of victims, and then usualy states that they came form 61 different countries. It does go without saying that this is really a world tragedy.

since watchtower is part of the un.
will un put governing body in charge of new government in afghanistan?.
drudgereport.com is reporting from the guardian that usa will topple taiban regime, then allow un to put in tempory gov.. kick one cult out and maybe stick another cult in there?
Lets do a compare and contrast:
Under the Taliban
Females are second class citizens
Under Jehovah’s loving rulership
Females are second class citizens
Winner: Push
Under the Taliban:
Women are not allowed to be educated
Under the tower:
No one is allowed to be educated:
Winner Taliban
Under the Taliban:
Justice is derived from the Koran
JW’s
Justice is derived from the Hebrew scriptures
Winner: push
I could do this all day. The point being there is very little difference between the two groups. Except of the fact that the Taliban has secular power and the Watchtower does not.

I'm not sure, but if I was a woman living under the Taliban I might want to be abducted.

this was posted on another forum by someone i talk to.....any thoughts on this post?.
"this was sent to me from a friend and is supposedly written by an american that is from afghanistan.
> i've been hearing a lot of talk about "bombing .
I was never in the military; I had that little run in with a door-knocking cult in my early twenties. My brother however was a captain in the marines. If you know anything about marines its that they really don’t respect the fighting ability of other nations or even the other branches of the US army. The one exception to that is the SAS, probably the best Special Forces unit in the world.
The more the situation clarifies the more I think we are in for a big, big war. I could foresee 200K American dead and 200Million Muslim dead before this is over.
