‘The five nuclear experts killed in a plane crash in northern Russia earlier this week had assisted in the design of an Iranian atomic facility, security sources in Russia said on Thursday. The five Russian experts were among the 44 passengers killed when the Tupolev-134 plane broke up and caught fire on landing outside the northern city of Petrozavodsk on Monday.’

‘I watched Obama’s speech. For its brief duration, I kept thinking that George W. Bush could have given exactly the same speech. (Ah, I just remembered that John Caruso demonstrated this truth two years ago, in an exceptionally astute and clever manner.) In fact, and this is the point of significance, no man or woman is going to ascend to the office of president unless he or she will utter precisely the same empty phrases and offer the identical meaningless assurances.’

Telstra and Optus confirmed they would block access to a list of child abuse websites provided by the Australian Communications and Media Authority and more compiled by unnamed international organisations from mid-year.

But internet experts have warned that the scheme is merely a “feel-good policy” that will not stop criminals from accessing obscene material online and could block websites unfairly.

The voluntary scheme was originally proposed by the Federal Government last year as part of a wider, $9.8 million scheme to encourage internet service providers to block all Refused Classification material from users as an optional service.

The Government dropped its funding for the scheme last month due to “limited interest” from the industry, but a spokesman for Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said a basic voluntary filter was still on track to be introduced by Telstra, Optus and two small ISPs.

“The ACMA will compile and manage a list of URLs of child abuse content that will include the appropriate subsection of the ACMA blacklist as well as child abuse URLs that are provided by reputable international organisations (to be blocked),” the spokesman said.

System Administrators Guild of Australia board member Donna Ashelford said blocking these website addresses should not affect internet speed, but was only a “cosmetic fix” that was easily circumvented by criminals.

“The effectiveness will be trivial because you’re just blocking a single website address (and) a person can get around it by changing that address with one character,” she said.

“Child abuse material is more likely to be exchanged on peer-to-peer networks and private networks anyway and is a matter for law enforcement.”

Electronic Frontiers Association board member Colin Jacobs also expressed concern at the scheme, saying the Government and internet providers needed to be more upfront about websites being blocked and offer an appeals process for website owners who felt URLs had been blocked unfairly.

“There is a question about where the links are coming from and I’d like to know the answer to that,” Mr Jacobs said.

“We’ve been waiting to hear details on this from the Government. It they turn out to be zealous with the type of material that is on the list then we’d want to have a discussion about ways to introduce more transparency.”

Earlier in the week, The National Westminster (NatWest) Bank froze the accounts of London-based independent television production company Press TV Ltd. NatWest, which is part of Royal Bank of Scotland Group, blocked GBP 200,000 of Press TV Ltd’s income without explanation.

Under British law, freezing the accounts of clients requires a court order or a request from the Bank of England.

Press TV has condemned the illegal step taken by the UK government, arguing that it has not received a court order classifying Press TV Ltd’s programs as being in violation of British regulations.

Legal advisors say banks cannot freeze the accounts of media that has been operating under the regulations of the host country.

An official with Press TV Ltd. says NatWest has refused to explain the reason behind its controversial action. “They’re not giving any reason why they’ve done it,” the official added.

It appears that the politically-motivated decision has been made by the UK in an attempt to cripple Press TV, which often broadcasts news and programs critical of the British government.

The move is another step in a systematic approach to effectively shut down Press TV’s operation in London as openly pursuing this objective would run counter to the Freedom of speech and press principals that the UK pretends to uphold.

This comes after British media regulator Ofcom (Office of Communications) announced that it seeks to issue statutory sanctions against Press TV for what it calls “breaching Ofcom’s Broadcasting Code” after one individual filed a complaint against the network.

This one individual is of course, Mr. Maziar Bahari, who was interviewed by Press TV and other media outlets while in detention in the Iranian capital.

Bahari had initially claimed that his interview with Press TV was conducted without his consent. However, in an interview with the state-run BBC Persian channel he admitted that he had agreed to conduct the interview.

“I said ‘OK, come and interview me,’” Bahari told the state-run BBC Persian.

Press TV has since called Ofcom’s ruling “unfair” but has still fully assisted Ofcom with its investigation.

Furthermore, since the ruling was made official, British communications and media facilities have desperately attempted to force the news channel off-air.

Moreover, WikiLeaks revelations also confirmed that British officials have been discussing ways to restrict the Network’s UK operations.

Freezing Press TV assets only proves that the network is deemed as a force to be reckoned by the British government and attests to the reality of the network’s success in reaching truth-seeking viewers across the globe and offering them a fresh perspective that differs from the distorted media images presented to them by the West.

‘Google-owned You Tube has sensationally censored a video clip showing Eric Schmidt at the 2011 Bilderberg Group conference, by removing the “honors” associated with the Alex Jones Channel and preventing the clip from going viral, while You Tube has also threatened to terminate the account altogether after baseless accusations of racism were made against an Obama Joker video for the second time.

Google chief Eric Schmidt betrayed his notorious disregard for online privacy in 2009 when he told CNBC, “If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.”’

‘We might all remember the Clinton Era mantra about a “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” targeting the first couple in the 1990′s. Of course Hitlery was correct. There likely was a conspiracy to take down these haters of Freedom, and marauders of this once great ‘Republic’. In the Oughts (2000′s) there was a “Vast Left Wing Conspiracy” run by George Soros, the Ford Foundation, The National Endowment for Democracy, or the Brookings Institute to attack and dethrone George Jr., who was also a hater of liberty, and raper of the Constitution.’

‘What’s the chance of running into two Jews at Buckingham Palace and discovering that they are the King and Queen of England? Farfetched you say. Some curious emerging facts suggest that it could happen.

When the Royal Wedding uniting Kate Middleton and Prince William was announced, genealogy sleuths got to work. At first, the buzz indicated that Kate’s mother, Carole Goldsmith (maiden name), had Jewish ancestry. If Carole Goldsmith were Jewish then, according to Jewish law, her daughter Kate Middleton would be considered Jewish — and could become the first Jewish Queen (Consort) of England. But alas, investigators still believing that there was a Jewish heritage in Kate’s lineage found that the last five generations of her family were married in churches.

Of course, that doesn’t rule out that some may have been secret Jews, which was true for many Jews during the Inquisition. Other sources still suspect Jewish lineage for Kate. And according to an Orthodox Sephardic Rabbi in Israel, both parents of Kate’s mother . So the question of Jew or not a Jew for Kate is still open.

But wait, the plot thickens. Could Princess Diana, William’s mother, have been Jewish? One source maintains that Princess Diana’s mother, Frances Shand Kydd, was Jewish — born Frances Ruth Burke Roche, a Rothschild.’

‘The European founders of the Bilderberg Group included Joseph Retinger and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. Prince Bernhard had, incidentally, been a member of the Nazi Party until 1934, three years prior to his marrying the Dutch Queen Juliana, and had also worked for the German industrial giant, I.G. Farben, the maker of Zyklon B, the gas used in concentration camps.

On the American side, those who were most prominent in the formation of the Bilderberg Group were David Rockefeller, Dean Rusk (a top official with the Council on Foreign Relations who was then the head of the Rockefeller Foundation), Joseph Johnson (another Council leader who was head of the Carnegie Endowment), and John J. McCloy (a top Council leader who became Chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank in 1953 and was also Chairman of the Board of the Ford Foundation).’
