Social Control Experiment or Weather mis-report?

US Government: Hmmm... Lets do a little experiment. How obedient are the population under slight threat of a disobedience fine. Let's pretend it's a weather curfew and of COURSE we must firmly announce that 'IT's FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY". This line is frequently uttered by Governments trying to 'HELP' CONTROL the population. Let's pretend there is going to be a weather BOMB. Now, that's the FEAR factor installed. Next it makes CONTROL easier. Now, our little social engineering experiment needs an exaggerated alarmist weather report. Easily engineered as US GOV is the main source of forecasting. Weather forecast press people will interpret in a sensationalist/alarmist way. Excellent. This drill seems to have worked, the lightly snow-dusted street of New York are empty. SOCIAL CONTROL EXPERIMENT: PASS. TAGS: ISIS WEATHER BOMB, SKY TERROR PLOT, SNOWBOMB,

E-bola

It's not quite Zombie Apocalypse scale of a disease but it's un-curable enough to quarantine as it's a fast killer. AIDS did not illicit the same response when it was identified in the 1950's and now look what has happened. Really the WHO needs to look at how it manages these things and also the particular Governments' of the world need to have planned responses in place. It all seems a bit reactionary rather than a planned response. Factually because we are treating Earth like shit, then we aught to be more prepared for Gaia-type 'immune responses' from the BioSphere.

Drone regulation.

How long will it take for terrorists to copy the military Drone model of dealing death and disturbance?

When will football stadia have to put up electronic and physical barriers to drones flying into a stadium to deliver up nasty things?

A quad copter with several gas cannisters or nail bombs would wreak havoc!

I'm all for licencing them and having FoF transponders fitted to be allowed to fly.

NHS contracts

Its funny how companies that get NHS contracts then get rich very quickly. Its fine but I'm not so sure the taxpayer us getting good value. Possibly lazy tendering decisions that are then not re quoted each year.

I wish I had some NHS cash cow cash flowing my way! :)

Scotland

Must say, Salmond has not really managed the campaign he's supposed to have been working on since he came into power. What has he been up to? Anyway as neither YES nor the NO vote is entirely clear what these votes will be FOR and what the exact Social, Economic and Political consequences will be of either, I think it's classed as a mess up. Hopefully all the 'abstentions' turn out and vote NO.

NHS Ethics

It seems that the NHS can, at times, slip in terms of Ethics. As part of their staff education in morals (the societal expectancy of good conduct) and Ethics (one's one knowing and certainty of and ability to differentiate destructive and constructive actions of self and others) should be drummed in harder in training. The recent bad publicity as a result of the "the few" is but an indicator of the wider issue. Dealing with sick people is not the calmest of tasks in a society. It takes people of a certain mettle to be on the front line of care. These we applaud. A person going in to help, letting their Ethics slip in terms of following correct medical procedure and record keeping and diagnosis etc. should be given help straight away. Hopefully NHS Management realises this is a prime task and they must take care of their workforce.

A word on cyprus.

cyprus. What a daft thing to do in cyprus. Aside from all the laundered money moving through there from UK and US targeted fraud, such as that ongoing by Banners Broker etc. and a large number of other ciminal fraternity... The EU have created a run on the banks in cyprus! What daftness. If you want to collect more tax then you add it to the pay slips and companies of those individuals by local legislation. Errr... okay that's the usual way of doing things but a lot of money arriving in cypriot bank accounts has not really been through a tax system. Ooops. An example of an unusual solution imposed without actuall fixing the underlying issue. Greece? Too early into the EU without eliminating the bulk of the black economy and state corruption and inability to collect tax. Thus EU grants and loans were not invested into capital projects but siphoned off in 'expenses' as per the well known African model.
