Kroes on ACTA, a reality check or more games

Neelie Kroes gave a keynote speech at this year’s re:publica conference in Berlin that brought together many of the themes she has touched on recently — the open Web, copyright licensing, the potential of open data, and the need to provide enhanced Internet safety for children. Interesting and important as all those are, they pale into insignificance beside the following comment she made:

Plain packaging for political parties


With the increasing ‘debate’ over plain packaging for cigarettes, the ever present Sackerson has come up with a wonderful idea for our political parties.



What a wonderful idea.

I think we could go further however. Remove the branding, cap the spending, do not allow to be prominently displayed or be pestered on the street or doorstep and only allow voting after collecting ballot papers from under the counter at the shop with no name, only allowed to be consumed in regulated and confined indoor spaces.

Why are taxpayers being shafted twice over

With local elections due in a few days time, now is an opportune time to ask anyone standing for office why as taxpayers we are being shafted and expected to pay for everything twice.

Look at this list of EU Agencies, who collectively make the hundreds of thousands of rules forced on us and then ask why we need them, we have national bodies that do exactly the same work, so why do we need to pay twice.

If the answer is – they are being funded with EU money, remember, the EU doesn’t have any money. It all comes from your taxes, or more specifically all that VAT you are forced to pay.

Bank of England – ours or theirs..

Is this the final sell-out of UK Sovereignty

The Bank of England, the Old Lady of Threadneedle St, the institution that allegedly provides the UK with its economic stability, supposedly the centre of the entire modern financial system is about to be taken over by a foreigner, another Goldman Sachs placeman.

Is this the final sell-out, is this the man being put in place who will take the UK into the Eurozone?

Toxic Machines


Someone sent me an email this evening. No explanations, no links. Just a simple question…

Who would manufacture these – and why, who for ?



I don’t have any answers, but if you have any clues I would be interested to know.

German ship breaks EU arms embargo on Syria


At attempt to defy the weapons embargo on the Syrian regime has been thwarted in the Mediterranean Sea, SPIEGEL has learned. On Friday, a German-owned ship carrying military equipment and munitions from Iran was stopped from docking in a Syrian port.

A German-owned freighter loaded with weapons from Iran was stopped on Friday near the Syrian port of Tartus in the Mediterranean Sea, SPIEGEL has learned.

A few days prior, the Atlantic Cruiser, owned by the Emden carrier Bockstiegel, had allegedly picked up heavy military equipment and munitions meant for Syrian dictator Bashar Assad’s regime from an Iranian freighter at the Djibouti port. The cargo, desperately needed reinforcements for Assad’s crackdown on dissidents, was supposed to be unloaded on Friday.

But defectors from inside the Syrian government had learned of the delivery and warned the shipping company. On Friday the Atlantic Cruiser suddenly changed course, heading for the Turkish harbor of Iskenderun instead. Then the ship stopped some 80 kilometers (50 miles) southwest of Tartus, sailing in circles for the next few hours.

"We stopped the ship after getting information on the weapons cargo," shipping agent Torsten Lüddeke of Hamburg-based C.E.G. Bulk Chartering told SPIEGEL.

According to Lüddeke, the ship had been chartered by an Odessa, Ukraine-based company called White Whale Shipping. "They declared to us as cargo mainly pumps and similar things," he said. "We never would have allowed weapons on board." For now, the 6,200-ton ship will "stay where it is," he added.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian shipping company has insisted that the Atlantic Cruiser is not carrying weapons and that it be allowed to dock in Tartus.

However, SPIEGEL has learned that the ship’s crew had attempted to refuel in the Cypriot port of Limassol, but was turned away after reporting its cargo as "weapons and munitions."

The German Economics Ministry told the Associated Press on Saturday that it was looking into the matter, but provided no further details. What? It’s an arms embargo, not an economic one so why is the Economics Ministry looking into it.

It seems that EU imposed embargoes are as worthless as the unelected people who draw them up.
