Abused By Illusions

Reading this article from the BBC, concerning the man that was shot in the London subway system due to being mistaken as one of the terrorist bombers, has reaffirmed my resolve to avoid public transportation of all types. This incident once again clearly underscores where and of who our real fears should focus upon. Along with the threat of being gunned down by those that we are taxed billions by to provide us with "a false sense of security," the mainstream media now spews the drivel that we need more and more surveillance cameras everywhere. All of the folks that allegedly carried out the first bombing were caught on surveillance cameras, save the bus bomber (due to the camera allegedly malfunctioning). So if the surveillance cameras did not prevent this how is installing ever more of them going to make us one bit safer? It's not! The politicos are simply frothing at the mouth to build ever bigger their high tech surveillance police state. I so wish that a miracle could happen and the forefathers of this country could somehow be magically transported to the present. Who do you think the first ones folks like Madison, Jefferson, and Franklin would recommend the electorate should put the smackdown on? I can only guess that there wouldn't be any recommending to it. I think we would have an executive and congress seriously over the knees of the founding fathers getting their rearends wore out before they personally ran them out of D.C.

Shot man not connected to bombing

A man shot dead by police hunting the bombers behind Thursday's London attacks was a Brazilian electrician unconnected to the incidents.
The man, who died at Stockwell Tube on Friday, has been named by police as Jean Charles de Menezes, 27.

Two other men have been arrested and are being questioned after bombers targeted three Tube trains and a bus.

Police also said a suspect package found in north-west London on Saturday may be linked to Thursday's attacks.

'Tragedy'

Scotland Yard said Mr Menezes, who lived in Brixton, south London, was completely unconnected to the bomb attacks and added: "For somebody to lose their life in such circumstances is a tragedy and one that the Metropolitan Police Service regrets."




Good response to CCTV plea
'They unloaded five bullets'

The Brazilian government has expressed its shock at the killing and Brazil's foreign minister Celso Amorim is on his way to London to get an explanation from foreign secretary Jack Straw.
