This year's Bilderberg conference attracted dramatically more attention than previous years, from both mainstream media and protesters, and drew more than 2,300 attendees. This increase, more than double last year's Chantilly conference, is hailed by many as a success in terms of exposure, and many believe it represents a ray of light in the dark curtain of secrecy that often casts a shadow over these conferences. Perhaps this is a bit of a jump in the fun: Looking at the attendance figures, Saturday's over-representation may actually be a smokescreen to hide what is fast becoming a bigger problem in the…
Speaking at the Hay Festival, the former head of MI5 said “the enemy is everywhere” and highlighted the recent “clash of civilizations” rhetoric.If that were true, it would be a surprising confession. Mr Rimington's comments, bearing in mind that MI5's role is to protect the British public from domestic threats, suggest that the agency is not fully fulfilling its role. Corporate media coverage, predictably, leaves no room for doubt, as it promotes the idea that she is “evoking a wartime spirit.” In fact, she and they promote the ideology of the clash of civilizations, the idea that the days of…
Today, the EU gravy train is back in the mainstream press, with the Daily Mail highlighting the huge difference in income between MEPs and the rest of society. As real incomes fall further, the gap will widen further. Workers will see their wages rise by 0.8%, while the cost of living will increase by 2.4% (food prices will rise by 5%). According to the Daily Mail,. The 0.8% increase is incorrect. There is no increase. When the cost of living rises more than wages rise, what we are actually seeing is a decline in purchasing power. But MPs and members…

Foreign Secretary William Hague said yesterday that Britain would veto the reinstatement of the EU arms embargo on Syria at next week's foreign ministers' meeting if member states block moves to allow arms transfers to rebel groups.The Hague has French support for his demands, which is not surprising since we are tied at the hip as a result of a 50-year defense treaty. “I can say that we are prepared to do that (the UK's veto) if necessary, but of course we are looking for an agreement with other EU countries.” Of course, Mr. Haig, but you will move on…

In the UK, schools hold vast amounts of data on children – they are among the most monitored school populations in the world, not just in terms of their academic subjects, health and eating habits, but also through the use of biometric and geolocation RFID tags. Between 2001 and 2012, biometric systems in education were first used for library systems in primary and secondary schools. By 2006, biometrics were increasingly being used for cashless catering, school lockers, and payment and registration for school trips. In 2005, privacy groups and parents concerned about the use of biometrics in schools began lobbying…
The UK Column has published a series of detailed articles exposing the widespread physical and sexual abuse that has taken place at Oxford and Cherwell Valley College (OCVC) over many years. Following threats of “action” from the College, we have persisted, knowing that serious allegations have been made by multiple individuals and that there is documented evidence to back them up (statements, dates, times, names etc.). All of the young victims speak of a culture of intimidation and cover-ups. Sick abuser protected by authorities We also exposed how Oxford City Councillors were misled by City Council Child Protection Officers, who…
While they are wining and dining in Washington, D.C. and Westminster, hired workers are working overtime to create rivers of blood in Syria.Barack Obama and David Cameron are flanked by “diplomats” Hillary Clinton and William Hague, and FSA rebels and al-Qaeda jihadists are still trying to break through the once stable situation in Syria. It is doing everything in its power to increase bloodshed in Syria by supporting terrorists. A country where termites devour once healthy homes. Blood is cheap, and with domestic budgets tight, Western leaders are satisfied with the current arrangement. Rebel terrorist fighters are paid between $500…
