The old boss, same as the new boss but not as icky and yet another promise cancelled. No wonder politicians are so hated. They seem to be able to lie and lie and get away with it time after time after time.

I’ve sharpened all my sporks. The sleeping giant cannot last forever especially as Cameron is currently sticking pins in them under the guise of ‘massive cuts’. It won’t be long before we see some of this…

…. ouch. Were those lies worth it now?

Anyway, we have commited a fortune on wind power in the UK. Complaints and concerns have been made about the turbines killing birds, causing radar shadows, the low frequency hums and the fact they need electricity to work. All in all some serious problems.

Along comes Windstalk. A wind collection device like no other. It uses stalks which are moved by the wind to generate the electricity.

This design removes most of the issues that we have with turbines. For one thing there are no blades to cut birds up or confuse our radar system. They probably won’t hum but I would guess they would still make whistling noises and I suspect they won’t produce any more power than turbines and probably much less although they won’t need power to run.

I think I should be looking at getting my hands on some of this money being thrown at *cough* scientists. I like kites so may do some research with those at the weekend with my apprentices, the kids. A nice tax write off at least.

Apparently, it protects us. You have to laugh. At least now I understand why card fraud is down and identity theft is up.

Of course I’ll never remember the password. I tried a couple but it seems ‘stopwastingmyfuckingtime1′ doesn’t have a single digit or a single numeric in it. Can’t remember what worked.

So much for customer choice. The choice is do what we want or don’t use our card. The delivery address was the same as the card address and I’ve ordered before using the same card. Which I won’t be able to use now because I don’t now the password.

I’m actually thinking that the IT development departments at these places now spend all day writing code just to screw up our experiences. Of course all the basics are done now so they have to find something to do. I can see it now ‘Boss, I know it works great but lets adjust this and make them do this now. I’m bored. We can even introduce bugs which we can fix. I love my job.’

It seems to me that the only group extending the lethality of their weapons and who are actually willing to use them is Plod.    Against their own unarmed citizens of course.  

Perhaps this is why we are seen as an easy target now.   The West will never do anything to defend its own citizens any longer.    Why can blame these nutters out there for attacking us all over the globe?  Why do you think the baddies want to develop a nuclear  bomb?  They feel confident they can attack a proxy with no real response with the current dead heads in charge.   First we won’t know who it is then we need to prove it to the UN and the rest of the world.   Then their leaders will be arrested, the country will be fined and get a slap on the wrist.   In the meantime Israel and Palestine will be glowing and the true horror of the nuclear age will be visible for all.

Bring back the old ways.  A disproportionate response shows that we mean what we say, we will punish attacks on us and persecute the wars with the tools that we have.  After all that is what they were developed for.   Then we could have a safer world.

So instead of safer bombs.   Lets make them less able to maim but more likely to kill and start using them as responses and ignore these whingey whiney liberal wimps who talk about proportionate responses.   They are traitors, screw them.

Leon — one of the largest cities in Mexico, is being fitted with Iris scanners with a laughable aim of making it the most secure city in the World with Fraud completely eradicated. Criminals Iris scans will be loaded into the system and they can be tracked wherever they go. Limiting their access to certain areas and alerting Plod to their whereabouts. Of course, ordinary people will also be picked up and the hope is that they will sign up voluntarily to be tagged like animals scanned where they can be validated and have the ‘benefit’ of not needing to carry a bank card or ID. The implied threat for those that don’t sign up is ‘Opting out actually puts more of a flag on you than just being part of the system’ Read that as you will be stopped at every door and checkout until we validate your ID and Plod will pull you over every ten minutes until you give in. Make like you are resisting and suddenly you will find you do have a criminal record, if you live.

There are so many things wrong here that it will be interesting to watch. People being scanned to pay for others drinks, people being denied access to services because they have a criminal record and people breaking in your home when the system detects you are just entering your local restaurant for a meal and someone informs the local crooks. However, regardless of the outcome you can be sure that controlling eyes in other countries will be watching this social experiment. If it succeeds then it will be rolled out here soon enough. If it fails then it will be rolled out here with a few minor mods that the Mexicans got wrong. It will make the the old USSR, China, North Korea and New Labour look like amateurs and you can be sure they will be quick to pick up this technology, for security purposes of course.

The manufacturers claim that with the advance in technology no one can fool the system with dead eyes which is fair enough. Interestingly enough though by hiding your eyes you can avoid the system completely. How useful is ‘I was mugged and the scanners couldn’t identify the assailant’. Plus I keep hearing how there are frauds over the internet worth billions and they are increasing with real life fraudulent transactions reducing. How does it stop that?

In addition once the Iris scanning is the subjugation tool of choice then there will be many bright young minds turned into cracking the system. False eyes will be created and contact lenses, glasses etc. will be produced to counteract them. Everyone knows that once cracked, and it doesn’t take long, it takes a lot longer to find a fix and then apply that fix to every scanner out there. I claim Blair’s Iris scans. Let us see what trouble I can get him into. In the meantime a can of spraypaint should be fine.

Personally, if I lived in Leon I would be making my move now. Leon is turning into the biggest open prison on the planet. As well as this the US border looks like it will be tightening up and you may leave it too late.
