I'm not a "white nationalist" but i am a "Canadian nationalist" who happens to be white. I can't imagine why #Facebook is having so much trouble distinguishing between nationalism and supremacy, or how praising/loving one's country could be confused with hate.#DumpFacebook pic.twitter.com/OrqqtlFm6Q

If you're still on Facebook you're lazy and or ignorant. Pure and simple.
The only reason Facebook is soo f the little piddly shit it is doing is because Zuckerberg sees dwindling dollars.
He's using you. #dumpfacebook

Here is a powerful, honest meme that shows why the powerful, globalist Zionists want to shut down non-violent free speech. Thousands of groups work proudly for their interests, and no group does it more than the Zionist advocates of the ISRAELI ETHNOSTATE ! Retweet IT! pic.twitter.com/olRQm4M2RN

Faceberg (((FaceBook))) has just announced it will ban all "white nationalist" posts, photos. Ethnic Nationalism is now forbidden, will Faceberg ban all sites supporting the ethnostate of Israel, and Jewish nationalist and "internationalist" orgs? https://t.co/o07N4GmzbE

Facebook declares no free speech for white people.
Consider how white nationalism is banned, whereas jewish nationalism (zionism) is not only praised and promoted, but any criticism of it will also get you banned for "anti-semitism."
That is what real privilege looks like. pic.twitter.com/JDQE8dsyEE

Note: This preface is in no way a part of this article by Michael Heller. I wanted to note that I will definitely be submitting
a Commentary next week on Mark Zuckerberg, Chairman and CEB (Chief Executive Bozo) of Facebook, and other loose cannon corporate executives. Examples of free-wheeling approaches to business and privacy, seen in the technology sector, will be covered. Personal observations as well as links to some very enlightening and very good articles on the subject will be included. I have culled through and distilled down quite a bit of material, and the review should bring a lot of the varied information info focus. For the time being, see additional links at the bottom of this posting concerning recent Facebook "activities".

Facebook learned three months ago that hundreds of millions of passwords were stored internally in plaintext, but it didn't disclose the issue or notify users until the news leaked.
By Michael Heller, Senior Reporter – Tech Target 22 Mar 2019
Hundreds of millions of Facebook passwords were exposed within the company, sparking a debate among infosec experts over whether it was a simple mistake or an example of bad-faith actions by the company.
Facebook Thursday admitted that hundreds of millions of user passwords were stored in plaintext within the company's network.
"As part of a routine security review in January, we found that some user passwords were being stored in a readable format within our internal data storage systems," wrote Pedro Canahuati, vice president of engineering, security and privacy at Facebook, in a blog post. "To be clear, these passwords were never visible to anyone outside of Facebook and we have found no evidence to date that anyone internally abused or improperly accessed them. We estimate that we will notify hundreds of millions of Facebook Lite users, tens of millions of other Facebook users, and tens of thousands of Instagram users."
The Facebook disclosure came on the heels of a report by infosec journalist Brian Krebs that said "between 200 million and 600 million Facebook users may have had their account passwords stored in plain text and searchable by more than 20,000 Facebook employees," and, in some cases, the plaintext passwords were exposed as far back as 2012.
Some experts, like Troy Hunt, security researcher and founder of Have I Been Pwned, said there doesn't appear to be much risk to users at this point.
"Frankly, without evidence of exposure of the captured passwords, the risk of this is low," Hunt said via email. "Something else would have had to have gone badly wrong for this to have had any impact (i.e. captured data exposed to an unauthorised party)."
Alec Muffett, an infosec consultant and former Facebook software engineer, tweeted in defense of Facebook's password security.
"Facebook's password hashing is state of the art — as I presented on FB's behalf at #Passwordcon in 2014 — so password security is taken EXTREMELY seriously, and this is clearly a goof," Muffett tweeted. "Facebook do have frameworks, generally very-well-policed frameworks, for preventing sensitive stuff from being logged. The reported incident sounds bad & should clearly not have happened, so I am baselessly going to presume some failure-to-check in the logging mechanism."
Others, like Joseph Perry, director of research at infosec training and development firm Cybrary, said we must consider the length of time the passwords were exposed and the scale of the problem.
"The passwords being stored in plaintext is absurd on an almost cosmic scale, but the real issue at hand is the fact that it took this long to discover. A database of millions of passwords is not a small thing," Perry said. "This wasn't some database admin who just screwed up a configuration and forgot about it. This data set existed for years without anyone raising red flags. Facebook's security measures and internal controls are insufficient to prevent what is fundamentally a terrifying breach of trust."
Rebecca Herold, CEO of Privacy Professor, said even internally exposed Facebook passwords are a significant problem, and that it is "an indicator that there could be some other significant security vulnerabilities within the Facebook environment."
"Throughout the many risk assessments I've performed, wherever there were problems with the security of passwords, there were usually significant other security problems, as well," Herold wrote in an email. "Facebook would be wise, if they are confident of their information security practices, to have an objective third party perform a risk assessment and communicate the overall results publicly. Otherwise, it seems they are trying to hide their security problems."
Possible insider threats
Another point of debate surrounding the issue is the potential risk of an insider threat inappropriately using the plaintext Facebook passwords. Facebook hasn't had any known insider threats in the past, but Perry noted that might not mean much.
"It's true that Facebook has no serious history of insider threats; but on the other [hand], one of the reasons insider threat is such a danger is because it's prohibitively difficult to detect," Perry said. "That sounds tinfoil hat, but the entire point of defense in depth is to handle the fundamental fact that we simply can't identify all potential threats. The lack of [an] identified insider threat doesn't in any way discount the danger inherent to this access."
Herold agreed, saying that "any organization with more than one employee has an internal threat issue," and adding that the issue could extend beyond Facebook employees.
"Remember, they are a largely unregulated entity. They aren't required to report when their own employees do bad things, unless it falls under the definitions of the various applicable breach notice laws, and other applicable laws, of which few are currently covering employees' access to personal data," Herold wrote.
"Actually, all those third parties that Facebook has notoriously given access to user profiles, accounts, posts, etc. is a type of insider threat. The threat of 1) lack of acceptable controls on their third parties, and 2) as business partners, those entities are insiders, who had extensive access to far more than they ever should."
The timing of the Facebook disclosure
Making the situation more complex, Facebook admitted in its blog post that it first discovered the plaintext passwords "as part of a routine security review in January," meaning the company knew about the exposure for three months before disclosing it. Additionally, Facebook said it "will be notifying everyone whose passwords we have found were stored in this way," implying the company has not yet started notifying affected users.
Hunt said although it may not reflect well on Facebook, he understands the decision to not disclose or notify users right away.
"I can imagine why they perhaps didn't think this was worth initially disclosing because there hasn't been any impact to customers. On the other hand, it's the sort of thing that if leaked would make them look rather foolish so with the benefit of hindsight, they probably should have gotten on the front foot with this like Twitter and GitHub did last year," Hunt said. "Notifying all impacted users feels very much like one of those 'abundance of caution' things. If there was no actual impact on customers, I can understand why they may have chosen not to disclose, it's just not particularly good optics, as they'd say."
Herold said Facebook's decision to not notify users was "disappointing, but not surprising." The delay in Facebook's disclosure was another example of the company "not making any security concerns public until they are forced to do so," she said.
"If I was a shareholder, I'd be very concerned about the opaque manner in which Facebook communicates their cybersecurity practices," Herold said. "If they have sat on knowing about this security risk for the past three months, then they certainly won't rush to communicate more than they are compelled to do. And, since, from what has been reported, the cleartext passwords in storage does not meet the requirements for breach notifications for most (all?) breach notice laws, they are likely trying to decide how to communicate the information, with as little reputational impact as possible."
Perry called this another example of Facebook's "history of bad-faith and insufficient transparency."
"The fact that they've concealed this breach for months is yet another straw on the back of an already broken camel," Perry said. "This is yet another case of bad faith from a tech giant which relies upon functional monopoly in order to avoid legitimate consequences."

Tell your doctor promptly if any of these side effects occur: muscle spasm/stiffness, shaking (tremor), restlessness, mask-like facial expression, drooling. Your doctor may prescribe another medication for you to take with haloperidol to decrease these side effects. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. In rare cases, haloperidol may increase your level of a certain chemical made by the body (prolactin). For females, this increase in prolactin may result in unwanted breast milk, missed/stopped periods, or difficulty becoming pregnant. For males, it may result in decreased sexual ability, inability to produce sperm, or enlarged breasts. If you develop any of these symptoms, tell your doctor immediately. For males, in the unlikely event you have a painful or prolonged erection (lasting more than 4 hours), stop using this drug and seek immediate medical attention, or permanent problems may occur. This medication may rarely cause a condition known as tardive dyskinesia. In some cases, this condition may be permanent. Tell your doctor immediately if you develop any facial/muscle twitching such as tongue thrusting, chewing movements, puffing or puckering of your mouth, or uncontrollable shaking. This medication may rarely cause a serious condition called neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). Seek immediate medical attention if you develop any of the following symptoms: fever, muscle stiffness, severe confusion, increased sweating, fast/irregular heartbeat. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: dark urine, persistent nausea/vomiting, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing of eyes/skin, seizures, signs of infection (such as fever, persistent sore throat). Seek immediate medical attention if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: slow/fast/irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, chest pain, fainting. A very severe allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing. This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. In the US - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
PRECAUTIONS: Before taking haloperidol, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details. This medication should not be used if you have certain medical conditions. Before using this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have: a certain severe nervous system problem (severe CNS depression), Parkinson's disease. This medication should not be given to a patient who is unconscious. Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: bipolar disorder, difficulty urinating (e.g., due to prostate problems), glaucoma, heart problems (e.g., angina), overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), seizures, low white blood cell count. Haloperidol may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can infrequently result in serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, fainting) that require immediate medical attention. The risk of QT prolongation may be increased if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may affect the heart rhythm (see also Drug Interactions section). Before using haloperidol, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any of the following conditions: certain heart problems (heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in the EKG), family history of certain heart problems (QT prolongation in the EKG, sudden cardiac death). Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/"water pills") or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting. Talk to your doctor about using haloperidol safely. This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit alcoholic beverages. Before having surgery, be sure to tell your doctor or dentist that you are taking haloperidol. This medication can reduce sweating, making you more likely to get heatstroke. Avoid hard work and exercise in hot weather. Caution is advised when using this drug in elderly people because they may be more sensitive to the effects of the drug, especially drowsiness, difficulty urinating, and the effects on the heart. During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication unless directed by your doctor. Babies born to mothers who have used this drug during the last 3 months of pregnancy may infrequently develop symptoms including muscle stiffness or shakiness, drowsiness, feeding/breathing difficulties, or constant crying. If you notice any of these symptoms in your newborn anytime during their first month, tell the doctor right away. This drug passes into breast milk and could have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Therefore, breast-feeding is not recommended while using this drug. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Your healthcare professionals (e.g., doctor or pharmacist) may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for it. Do not start, stop or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first. This drug should not be used with the following medications because very serious interactions may occur: cabergoline, pergolide, sibutramine. Many drugs besides haloperidol may affect the heart rhythm (QT prolongation), including amiodarone, dofetilide, pimozide, quinidine, sotalol, procainamide, macrolide antibiotics (such as erythromycin), among others. Therefore, before using haloperidol, report all medications you are currently using to your doctor or pharmacist. If you are currently using any of these medications listed above, tell your doctor or pharmacist before starting haloperidol. Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially of: anticholinergic medications (e.g., antispasmodics such as belladonna alkaloids, scopolamine), carbamazepine, ketoconazole, lithium, methyldopa, drugs for Parkinson's disease (e.g., levodopa and carbidopa, selegiline), paroxetine, quinupristin-dalfopristin, rifampin. Also report the use of drugs which might increase seizure risk (decrease seizure threshold) when combined with haloperidol such as: bupropion, isoniazid (INH), phenothiazines (e.g., chlorpromazine, fluphenazine, thioridazine), theophylline, tramadol, or tricyclic antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline, nortriptyline), among others. Consult your pharmacist or doctor for more information. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you also take drugs that cause drowsiness such as: certain antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine), anti-seizure medications (e.g., phenytoin, valproic acid), medicine for sleep or anxiety (alprazolam, clonazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants, narcotic pain relievers (e.g., codeine), psychiatric medications (e.g., risperidone, trazodone).

We all love escaping into the outdoors. Whether you live in a cold climate or a hot climate, many of us enjoy outdoor recreation. No matter where you live in the world, the seasons always change as time goes by. This means when the current season is coming to an end, we have to prepare for the next season. That means putting away our recreational equipment somewhere. Whether you are surfing and kayaking in a hot place, or snowboarding and snowmobiling in a cold climate, the time comes to have to store these items.
This could be a real problem for some people. Recreational equipment can take up a lot of space in your home. Rather than spending a lot money to move to a larger home or living in a crammed house, purchasing a storage unit could be the answer for you.
Storage units are very convenient and easy to use. They can store a variety of equipment, without sacrificing room in your own home. Whether you are storing a boat, camping equipment, canoe, snowboard, surfboard, snowmobile, or anything else, storage units provide the best space for these items. It can be a much cheaper solution too. Rather than moving to a larger home, you can spend less and not worry about the extra baggage in your home. Having the peace of mind that your belongings are secured at a great price can go a long ways. Look no further than D&D Self Storage. D&D Self Storage provides the best storage units in the area at a great price!
Finding the right storage facility can be tough at times. They can charge a lot more than they need to for their storage units. Good service can be hard to find in the storage facility. Luckily for you D&D Self Storage provides great service at a great price. Don't wait till it's too late to store your recreational equipment when the season is ending. You can rent from us right now by clicking this link right here. We hope this article was able to help you in your search for a storage unit.

The Institute for Molecular Medicine
Chronic Fatiguing Illnesses Research Prof. Garth L. Nicolson Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia Syndrome and Other Fatigue Conditions Chronic fatigue is reported by 20% of all patients seeking medical care and is considered as a nonspecific sign that is associated with many well known medical conditions. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), and Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) patients suffer from complex overlapping signs and symptoms. (see 'Signs/Symptoms' Questions, above) CFS is primarily characterized by persisting or relapsing fatigue without previous history of comparable symptoms that does not resolve with rest. In these patients other clinical conditions are absent that can explain the signs and symptoms such as malignancies or autoimmune diseases. In contrast, FMS patients have overall muscle pain, tenderness, and weakness as primary complaints, but they have most if not all of the commonly found signs and symptoms for CFS. We previously proposed that CFS/ME patients might be suffering from chronic infections that can cause, in part, their complex signs and symptoms. For example, systemic mycoplasmal infections can cause chronic fatigue, muscle pain and a variety of additional signs and symptoms, some of which are related to dysfunctional immune responses and in extreme cases autoimmune-like disorders. Some mycoplasmas can invade virtually every human tissue and can compromise the immune system, permitting opportunistic infections by other bacteria, viruses, fungi and yeast. When mycoplasmas exit certain cells, such as synovial cells, nerve cells, among others that can be infected, they can stimulate autoimmune response. Our recently published studies demonstrated a possible link between mycoplasmal infections and CFS and FMS, since we found high frequencies of mycoplasmal infections in these patients. Previously we examined patients with chronic illnesses for the presence of mycoplasmal infections. We found that about one half of patients with Gulf War Illness and two third of patients with CFS/ME and FMS were positive for mycoplasmal infections in their blood. The Gulf War Veterans suffer from signs and symptoms similar to patients diagnosed with CFS and FMS. They can be treated using antibiotics effective against mycoplasmal infections, and once they recover, their blood is no longer positive for the presence of mycoplasmal infections. Our recent results indicate that Rheumatoid Arthritis is also associated with mycoplasmal infections. (see 'Autoimmune Diseases') Recent reports and publications indicate that in addition to mycoplasmal infections, CFS/ME and FMS patients have other chronic infections caused by other intracellular bacteria and viruses. For example, patients with Lyme Disease, caused by intracellular Borrelia infections, have been diagnosed with CFS/ME. Also, CFS/ME and FMS patients can have intracellular Chlamydia species infections. These patients can also have infections by other bacteria that enter their bodies through 'leaky gut' problems. Chronically ill patients often have inflammatory bowel syndrome and other gut problems, and this can allow pathogenic bacteria to enter their systems. Patients with CFS/ME and FMS can also have viral infections that complicate their conditions and cause morbidity. Such infections can occur with or without the bacterial infections described above. Viruses that have been associated with CFS/ME and FMS are Human Herpes Virus-6 (HHV-6) and Cytomeglovirus (CMV). These viruses have been found at high incidence in chronically ill patients, and especially those with CFS/ME. Patients with CFS/ME or FMS can have predominantly intracellular bacterial infections, predominantly viral infections, or a combination of intracellular bacterial and viral infections. This may be one reason why the underlying causes of these chronic illnesses are so difficult to determine and effectively treat. The other reason could be the persistent nature of the infections and their ability to hide inside cells where they are essentially refractory to immune system responses, their slow growing natures and their relative insensitivity to therapeutic drugs (see references below). A new direction at the Institute is studying the role of decreased cellular energy in causing fatigue. Cellular energy is mainly produced by the mitochondria, subcellular organelles that contain the machinery that converts fats and sugars to energy in the form of the high-energy molecules, such as ATP. Mitochondrial function requires an intact inner membrane where the electron transport chain or energy machinery is located. When the inner mitochondrial membrane is damaged, the efficiency of the electron transport chain is reduced along with the ability of cells to produce the energy that they need for vital functions—thus fatigue becomes a problem. Various environmental insults and even aging produce excess oxidation molecules that can damage the mitochondrial membrane, including chronic infections of the type mentioned above. At the Institute for Molecular Medicine clinical studies have shown the benefits of dietary membrane lipids (Lipid Replacement Therapy) in replacing damaged mitochondrial membrane lipids, increasing the efficiency of the electron transport chain, increasing energy and reducing fatigue. A number of non-pharmaceutical approaches to decreasing fatigue are being investigated at the Institute.

Prime minister-in-waiting, Donald Tusk, has said that Polish troops - a thousand or so have been part of the what the hell-are-we-doing-there-anyway-coalition of the increasingly no- so-willing – will be out of the war-torn carnage in around nine months time.
A Polish Humvee ran into a landmine in Iraq, Friday morning, killing 31 year old Andrzej Filipek. He is the 28th Pole to die there. In a poll taken by CBOS this week, 81 percent are against the nation's involvement.
It was interesting to see how the Iraq war crept its way into the election campaign last month. For much of the time since the war began, anti-Iraq war sentiment was left to the political extremes of the Roman Giertych, Andrzej Lepper, Radio Maryja and the New Left (dogs on pieces of string optional) alliance.
Tusk supported the war back when it started. It's only recently he has taken up the peace mantle. In the election debate just before polling day with Jaroslaw Kaczynski, he questioned the purpose of continuing Poland's presence in Iraq.
So will the Americans be upset by Tusk's announcement? I doubt it. The Kaczynski government has put off getting the troops out a couple of times, now, and was leaving its options open to get out as soon as he could. So he might well have tried for a withdrawal next year, too.
And anyway – getting out of Iraq means they have all the more troops to get bogged down in the latest mess in Afghanistan.
Pro-US, or anti-Russian?
But Tusk is being a little more cautious on sounding too enthusiastic about being too subservient to United States defense policy. While the Kaczynski government seemed quite eager to accept the anti-missile shield on Polish soil, Tusk – in line with public opinion – says that he must be sure that Poland's receives greater security from the base, and not less.
Kaczynski has also being saying that Europe is generally pro-European now, pointing to the new German and French governments as proof.
But he knows that the general public in France, Germany and Poland are a little more wary and distrusting of US policy. So why is he so enthusiastic for the 'war of terror' project?
Maybe it's to do with Russia. The more a Pole fears Russia, the more enthusiastic he will how the protective arm of Washington. For Kaczynski, with Russia growing ever more economically powerful, the world is becoming bi-polar again, pro-Atlanticism is the only answer.
The rest of us aren't so sure about the Good vs. Evil worldview.
What the new Polish government should be doing is asking itself some basic questions: as Pakistan looks set to become the latest state to be destabilized by the consequences of the reaction to 9/11 – the 'war on terror' – was a there a better way? Is the US's defense policy part of the problem, not the solution? And is it worth getting involved in?

"Pakistan destabilized by the reaction to 9/11"??????
Really, Bush Derangement Syndrome seems to cause its sufferers to be able to ascribe any ill, any time, anywhere, to George W. Bush. It even affects beetroots.
With the undeniable progress currently underway in Iraq, it is an odd reaction indeed to turn tail and run, just as success seems within reach. - 12:37 am
Success was achieved when Georgie proclaimed it on that aircraft carrier how many years ago? Mission accomplished! There's Bush Derangement Syndrome for you!

Hello Beatroot,
I must admit, given the historical imperialism of Russai and its attitude toward Poland as part of its empire, it strikes me as dead stoopid that some Poles wouldn't want the closest possible strategic aliance with America.
As for Pakistan being `destabilized' by the reaction to 9/11,please lets be honest..Pakistan has been an unstable country for years beforehand. Islamism and democracy don't mix well. - 3:37 am

Perhaps it's not that stupid, but simply Poles are learning that wars aren't for freedom only for benefits.
We already were a most faithful ally that the US sold out without a wink, so now we know that they'll never help us out of loyalty. If they do it'll be because it'll be beneficial for the US at the particular moment, and it'll have nothing to do with our being in Iraq or not. - 6:15 am

Bush Derangement Syndrome
The whole region has been destabilized by the 'war on terror'. You won't find many commentators that think that it has no effect whatsoever on domestic Pakistani politics. The dictatorship has gone from supporting Taliban - (as they were against historical enemies among some of the 'northern alliance' which Islamabad didn't like because of the chaos they caused after the Soviets pulled out – to supporting Washington. This has led to increased instability in the border region, with more and more tribes supporting Islamo nutters there. Some of the army is now going over to them.
With the undeniable progress currently underway in Iraq,
I imagine you are talking about 'the surge'. Well, it certainly has led to less American casualties...but how much progress for Iraqis remains to be seen. In fact, the growth in forces opposed to the American hegemony has grown vastly since the invasion, and I honestly think that objectively the whole thing was against US interests, let alone Iraqi or the regions interests. Again, it has destablized the whole region. Iran's power has grown, Syria is having to cope with hundreds of thousands of refugees, Saudis are in a panic etc etc ... - 8:33 am

Not quite sure what you're referring to here. Yalta? Control of Poland by the Red Army was a fait accompli, and nobody in their right mind would have started World War Three in order to eject the Russians in 1945. But without Ronald Reagan's and John Paul II's "warmongering" and destabiliztion of the Soviet empire in the 1980s, Poland would have been left in Communist stasis even today.
"Stability," that desirable condition described by the Beetroot, was the goal of the oh-so-sophisticated chattering classes in the 1980s, and is the goal of the same group in the 2000s. Only visionaries - like Reagan and yes, like George W. Bush - are willing to "destabilize" a bad situation in order to create a more free, more civil, and ultimately more peaceful world. - 4:26 pm
Yalta? Control of Poland by the Red Army was a fait accompli, and nobody in their right mind would have started World War Three in order to eject the Russians in 1945.
The Yalta order was in fact agreed at the Tehran conference back in 1943. Sort of changes the perspective, eh?
But without Ronald Reagan's and John Paul II's "warmongering" and destabiliztion of the Soviet empire in the 1980s,
The fun part is that Reagan did not care about Poland. He would have nuked us if he got the chance.
Only visionaries - like Reagan and yes, like George W. Bush - are willing to "destabilize" a bad situation in order to create a more free, more civil, and ultimately more peaceful world.
Bush has so far managed to destroy the only secular dictatorship in the region and replace it with a power void, which has been filled by radical islamist elements. I doubt if the resulting world is more free, civil, or peaceful. - 5:15 pm
- beatroot said...
Geez, I think you are missing the point. The US invasion was not in its interests before the war and is not after the war. It really isn;t as simple as 'we got the oil'. This was a disasterous mistake, not a masterplan.
George W. Bush...'visionary'??!!. wait a minute while I go get the dictionary... - 5:18 pm
Yes, visionary. Whether you agree with the vision or not, the purpose of the invasion of Iraq was to be an aysymetrical response to the growth of Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East. To plant a democratic, free society right in the middle of the ocean of dictatorships in order to serve as an example of a third way beyond theocracy and dictatorship. No, it hasn't worked out as intended, not yet. But to ignore the fundamental purpose behind the exercise is to misunderstand how it is envisioned to end. To call it a failure would be like calling Solidarity as failure in 1984. The game was only half-way over.
By the way, opamp, for somebody who wants to look so knowledgeable about world affairs, there are plenty of secular dictatorships and strongarm regimes in the Muslim world other than Iraq under Saddam - Syria, Oman, Egypt, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc... (And your stupidity in saying Reagan wanted to nuke Poland is an absurdity born of your prejudice, not an accurate statement or even an semi-accurate one.)
This democraticizing American response to the current crisis has been to encourage reform in all those countries as well. Again, whether it is working or not, the intent is there. If one foolishly claims that it was all about oil, Saddam showed he was quite willing to sell it quite cheaply to anybody who would buy from him. - 6:00 pm

Look, if he had any 'vision' he would have checked with history first. You cannot 'plant' democracy anywhere. It has to be won, not given. - 6:07 pm

Really? You might want to tell the Germans, the Japanese, and the Italians about this fact. And tell them to quickly get back to the "stable" model of dictatorship, pronto! ;-) - 6:14 pm

Is that the model that you think Bush had when he had his 'vision'? Maybe it was, but as I don;t need to tell you, the European examples were ex-democracies in the first place. japanese example I will have to think about.

Slwia, I'm not sure what you mean by the US selling out Poland.
In fact America liberated Poland twice...once by providing military aid to the Soviets and invading Normandy to open a second front,without which the Russians would not have won, ( ALTHOUGH I'll concede we didn't do it solely for the sake of the Poles..but then neither did the Russians, and attleast the US didn't enslave Poland) and secondly during the Cold War.
BTW, Roosevelt's primary aide and negotiator at Teheran and Yalta wqs Alger Hiss, a Soviet mole and agent.
Beetroot, as far as Iraq goes, you're correct..they weren't an imminent threat to us an dthere was no need to invade. The much demonized Donald Rumsfeld, in fact,
wanted a punitive strike to cripple Iraq's military capabilities rather than an invasion,( as Jed Babbin, among others have revealed) but Bush bought the Colin Powell/George Tenat vision of `Iraq the model'and then put Rumsfeld in charge of implementing it..with, toparaphrase Rumsfeld, the army we had at the time.
Anyone interested in finding out why we really invaded Iraq might enjoy the following,written before Petraeus :
J O S H U A P U N D I T: Between Iraq and a hard place - Why we went, how it got so screwed up and where it's going , Part 1
ff - 6:47 pm
Depends how you define the US, BR.
What's right for Texas oil (and defense) interests is good for the US. That's Bush's thinking. And that is how US foreign policy proceeds.
And hey, Anon, just coz some talkin' flunkies said the purpose of the invasion was to create an independent democratic state don't make it so. You wanna buy a bridge over Rozpuda?
And it ain't about buying oil cheap. It's about controlling it. - 7:20 pm
- beatroot said...
In fact America liberated Poland twice...
Sorry, it isn't a fact, at all (and your reason for believing there was a liberation by an invasion a thousand miles way is quite funny. So is the belief that the Soviets 'liberated' anyone. Funny.
Poles liberated themselves, obviously. So calm down. America simply isn't responsible for everything, you know. But it is interesting that you look at oppressed people as victims, just waiting to be released by them brave boys. It's that kind of mind set that contributed to Bush's belief that Iraqis would be waving little stars and stripes in Baghdad high street as the tanks rolled passed. Any knowledge of Arabs would have told them that was never going to happen.
But the way a country is liberated is vital to what follows. A study of Solidarnosc will teach you that. And a study of Iraq will also be informative. - 7:21 pm
The revelations of Jed Babbin?
This guy?
WTF would I believe anything he says about anything?
Rumsfeld was against the invasion, in favor of just a "punitive strike"? What nonsense! - 7:33 pm
geez, the fact that you would point to Wikipedia as a reputable source for information tells me everything I need to know about you.
Just keep getting your daily talking points from the Daily Kos, and blaming George W. Bush for causing everything you hate. Such one-track-mindedness is a comforting thing for fanatics. - 9:45 pm
Wikipedia is useful enough if one uses it with discernment. The fact remains that you think Jed Babbin is a reliable source. The guy is looney bin material. And you dare label me a fanatic? BTW, what in the Wikipedia entry do you take issue with? Not that I care. I just like to keep nits like you off the street. Get a life, hey sneakerskin? And piss off.
- 2:08 am
The question is wrongly asked. Poland should not ask whether US policy is good or bad. We couldn't care less, because we cannot do much to change it or even influence it in slightest way. We can only ask whether this policy is good or bad for us. Sad but true.

- Unknown said...
Yeah, I agree with Geez here about Wiki. It is just not good enough - as many do - to say'Ooo, wiki, so it must be shit..' without specifying WHICH part of the text is incorrect.
And Anon is right that foreign policy should be based on national interests. Question is: has the Iraq war and 'war on terrorism' in general, been in anyone's interest? I suspect not. - 11:21 am
, because the power elites maintain an effective political hegemony (the REAL political correctness coz it's all about whose in control). Yea, and that's old hat Gramsci, too.
The trick, I guess, is to find a way to challenge and overturn that hegemony. Not so easy. - 1:07 pm
Now,blogger is cutting off the top of my commentary... I started out saying something to the effect:
BR, are you suggesting that the war in Iraq is not in the interests of the oil industry, the defense (sic) industry, the mercenary army industry? We all know the Bushes' and Cheney's and et. al.'s bizness connections.
The question should be who and what determines *national interest*. Is it the electorate? I don't think so because the ... - 1:10 pm
- Sylwia said...
Slwia, I'm not sure what you mean by the US selling out Poland.
Something like this: Hey, uncle Joe, how about you win the war for us and we give you Poland instead?
In fact America liberated Poland twice...once by providing military aid to the Soviets
How one liberates a country by providing military aid to its enemy?
and invading Normandy to open a second front,
Poles fought in Normandy too, but how many Americans fought in Poland?
without which the Russians would not have won, ( ALTHOUGH I'll concede we didn't do it solely for the sake of the Poles.. but then neither did the Russians,
You didn't do it for the sake of the Poles at all. What interest Poland had in being won over by the Russians?
and attleast the US didn't enslave Poland)
OK, so there's a man that isn't your property, but you still sell him to a planter. How do you call it? Slave trade?
and secondly during the Cold War.
So again, how many American soldiers came here during the Cold War?
But don't worry, if some other country attacks you we'll still come. :-)
However it's one interesting point to stop at. Why the US fought against communism with money on printing press and radio, and now fights against terrorism with military aggression? Is it about freedom of the countries or about the Americans being there in person? If we had oil would we have the honour of making an American soldier's acquaintance in 1945?
BTW, Roosevelt's primary aide and negotiator at Teheran and Yalta wqs Alger Hiss, a Soviet mole and agent.
Now, that's rich. I wish sometimes we had a king. We could blame his valet for our mistakes.
So whose agent is Bush's primary aide?
But I think the funnies thing is that the US believe that they alone liberated anyone. How about an alternative POV? How we didn't win the war . . . but the Russians did
You might esp. enjoy this paragraph:
After talking at Cambridge recently about the preponderance of the eastern front and the scale of the Red Army's triumph, I was accosted by an angry young British historian. "Don't you realise that we were pinning down 56 German divisions in France alone," he said. "Without that the Red Army would have been heavily defeated." What is less acknowledged is that without the Red Army pulverising 150 divisions, the allies would never have landed.
P.S. To add to the main theme. If I remember well at the beginning of the war about 60% of Poles were against, now it's over 80%. I think the difference comes from disillusionment. That is there were some Poles who thought that the US needed help and so we should go. But the primary 60% (it's quite a lot so likely many of them had no idea what the conflict was about) simply knew that wars mean killing civilians in thousands or even millions (and what about all the misplaced people?), and didn't really want to see Poland as an aggressor. Because it's rather clear, even to someone who doesn't care about politics at all, that it's not the US that are invaded but Iraq, and not the American civilians that need protection but the Iraqis that are being killed. So how many lives one pays for the American democracy?
Oh, and BTW Tusk's anti-war-in-Iraq campaign is not so recent. The view was promoted by both PiS and PO two years ago. - 1:54 pm
- beatroot said...
BR, are you suggesting that the war in Iraq is not in the interests of the oil industry,
I remember thinking, before the war started, with all the 'unknown, unknowns', to use Rumsfeldology, what kind of business plan the war would involved. If you took the invasion to oil companies and said, "Hey guys, got a great new way for you to make billions...all we have to do is invade and occupy a highly volotile nation, not knowing what would happen next..' Sheell, BP, etc would be interested, but sceptical. Many of them, if they had any brains, would ask: "But how do you know that this will increase our ability to access deposits, refinaries, etc? maybe it might act in reverse...war is not good for business, etc"
So, no, the war per se, was not in oil companies interests. Too many 'unknowns' and business does not like the unpredictable.
Sylwia - is that right about PO PiS...I do not remember anyone saying that they would be withdrawing two years ago. They made concerned noises about Iraq, but were not planning getting out. And when PiS got in power, of course, they were desperate not to upset washington. Tusk can say about withdrawel now because UK is getting out, and even Bush is planning cuts in troops numbers next year.
Not so brave Tusk. - 2:35 pm
The nonsense here about Iraq being because of business interests, the oil industry, the Army pressure, etc...
This crap sounds like something out of Trybuna Ludu, circa 1983. - 3:04 pm
Anon, I assume you ain't writing from Iraq. If they're freedom is so important to you, get your ass over there right now boy!
- 3:12 pm
So, I'm so glad the oil companies just walked away from the opportunity because of the high risk involved. They're not in Iraq anymore, right?

No, of course not. But the invasion and war are not necessarily in their interests. The belief that it is 'all about oil' comes from a modern day conspiracy type mind set, which sees dark, all powerful controling everything. My point is that they DON"T control everything, and the war has weakened the US's interests in the region - and that includes, potentially BiG Oil.
- 3:19 pm
So you just see Bush, Cheney, and their oil companies, et. al. as being incapable of recognizing their own interests?
I don't see it as a big dark secretive conspiracy. I see it as businessmen openly protecting their immediate interests as they see them and then they get together with the politicos and PR us with blather about freedom and all that.
I don't think that businessmen look all that far into the future and I don't think they are all that smart. Are they shooting their companies in the foot in the long run? Yea but so what? The guys on top got theirs now.
Of course, oil is just part of the equation but it's still the biggest factor. If the oil was somewhere else, we'd be invading somewhere else. - 3:27 pm
I suppose you also believe the US invaded Afghanistan in 2001 because of the oil pipeline that Unocal wanted to build between Turkmenistan and Pakistan?

So you just see Bush, Cheney, and their oil companies, et. al. as being incapable of recognizing their own interests?
Yup. That is exactly what I am saying. Gone are the days when the 'ruling classes' had a clear workdview. They are a very confused bunch who cannot and have not adapted to the new reality. Hence...a right bleedin mess. - 3:36 pm
Sorry anon, no I don't believe that was the major reason. You're wrong because of your constant stereotyping, as usual. Hey why do you believe the US invaded Afghanistan? And if it was to get binny in the hills, why did W start with the bit about how he ain't that important?
BR, yea I spoze they are dumber than sin but they still define their own interests however wrongly. They are in the game for what they can get out of it for themselves in the here and now, not the hereafter. The new reality? Same as the old reality. - 3:59 pm
I don't believe that was the major reason.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
Ooops, sorry for the interruption, geez. That's the tin-foil hat magnetron detector going off. You know, it tells me when I need to put on my protection against the mind-control rays being broadcast from Halliburton corporate heaquarters.
Perhaps you'd like to next tell us about the "controlled demolition" of the World Trade Center by the Mossad and their neo-con lackeys in Washington? We're all waiting with baited breath for your erudite analysis. - 4:07 pm
- beatroot said...
It's not about being 'dumber' than before. It's about a complete ideological disorientation, which tends to confuse what there interests are. So when they are presented with a situation like 9/11, instead of having a clear 'mission' - like they did in the old days of the Cold War, they start panicing and flapping around like a ....flappy thing.

For your consideration:
I always hoped the Iraqi invasion was about oil because that at least that would be rational (if cynical and realpolitik taken to an inhuman extreme). None of the other reasons given by Bush or his supporters made any sense whatsoever.
For the record, the only other real reason I could imagine was pure, incoherent lingering rage at 911 and a desire to see brown muslims suffer. But those feelings, while still there seem to have been channelled into Guantanamo and various kinds of prisoner abuse (i.e. waterboarding). - 4:41 pm
sneakerskin: Since you're incapable of making a coherent comment or even making the attempt to answer directly posed questions, adieu. Hopefully, you're on your way to Iraq. At least then you'll show me you have the courage of your convictions.
BR: Ruling class *flappy* consciousness? You've taken Lukacs to a new level,I guess, or stood him on his head. - 5:14 pm
Good article Michael and it's conclusion seems to hit the nail squarely on the head. So maybe it's not a matter of flappy consciousness after all:
"The costs – a few billion dollars a month plus a few dozen American fatalities (a figure which will probably diminish, and which is in any case comparable to the number of US motorcyclists killed because of repealed helmet laws) – are negligible compared to $30 trillion in oil wealth, assured American geopolitical supremacy and cheap gas for voters. In terms of realpolitik, the invasion of Iraq is not a fiasco; it is a resounding success." - 5:28 pm
- beatroot said...
No, sorry, that figure of revenue is based on all sorts of projections – about things that can not possibly be predicted. Nobody knows what will happen in Iraq in the next few years (or even months).
Take any number of scenarios. Just one. Shia – who have their hands now on most of the oil wealth (the other main area is Kurdish) feel emboldened by Iran sponsorship – which is happening already. Continued sanctions by US/UN make Iraq oil and general trade and revenue more important to Iran. US gets pissed off. Sunni – who have no access to oil at all – start civil war with Basra shia. All hell breaks loose. US Big Oil cannot gain real access to southern or northern Kurdish (look at what is happening in Turkey). Iran gets stronger still.
It all could happen, or not. But that is not a good situation for Big Oil, or the US (which already has been badly weakened).
Etc. There are too many unknowables.
You have name dropped, shamelessly, both Lukasc and Gransci in the last two posts!!!!
And yes, when I was a deep lefty these guys were two of my heroes (although from very different sides of the barricades). Lukasc, in a strange way, probably comes out best. Or not. - 8:59 pm
Not shamelessly -- but I should have thrown a fervent mea culpa in there. And why didn't your Marxist spell check correct their names in your post? Don't tell me you completely disabled it?

so you're saying that the most powerful country in the world is not acting out of venal self interest but simply behaving irrationally? (a less charitable version of flapping around).
Somehow I don't find that reassuring.
I take no view on what the 'real' reasons for the Iraq clusterfuck were. I honestly admit I haven't got the slighest idea.
I just somehow hope it's not motivated by ... insanity. As I wrote, invading a country to take over its natural resources makes sense in a nasty way, invading a country to remake it in your image or create a 'model' for a region is just ... bonkers. And thinking that the invasion could have benn motivated by a free floating sense of frustration and rage is ... terrifying, I really hope that wasn't the reason. - 10:57 pm

Apple's iTunes store has LibraryThing's Local Books app. (see blog post, direct link) given us a rare honor—a spot among their featured apps.(1)
The exposure has shot us up in the books category, such that we are now—unbelievably—running third in the free section.(2) No matter how long it lasts—and we have no idea of that—it's great news. The more people grab it, the more become invested in its success. We're already seeing a pick up in entries to LibraryThing Local. And it puts pressure on us to improve Local and the app too.
Most of all, we hope the success of Local Books can inspire physical bookstores and libraries to embrace the digital world more fully—to put their basic information, events and holdings data out there for us and others to use. Their customers and patrons are eager for it. Only by embracing what the digital world can do for the physical can they compete against the continual advance of ecommerce and ebooks.
So, thanks to Apple for highlighting us, to Chris and John for making the app.(3), and thanks to all the members who entered the data to make it possible.
1. To see it, go to iTunes and click "App Store." We're in the third row of apps., next to "Puppy Park" and "Roadside America." We only appear if the screen is wide enough to hold six icons. We go away if you're only showing five or fewer apps.
2. The only downside has been that wider exposure has put the app in the hands of people who were, I think, expecting something different. Our ratings have shot down. Fortunately, they're very much on par with other top apps. It seems iTunes reviewers are a finicky bunch!
3. They will be getting every dime the free app makes us!

Inquiring Minds Need to Know:
John Whaley (Wheyleigh/Wabe) and the Oliver's Castle
Video Hoax Exposed -- United Kingdom, October 1997
By Lee Winterson; containing excerpts from Colette Dowell's 96 report.
On August 11th, 1996 at the Barge Inn in Alton Barnes a telephone call was received by the bar staff inquiring the whereabouts of Peter Sorensen and Colin Andrews. I took the call and spoke with a man who identified himself as a Mr. John Whaley. He claimed he was ringing to report a new formation in the area of Oliver's Castle. He also claimed he witnessed and was able to video strange balls of light hovering over the same field the morning the formation appeared. I suggested for him to come to the Barge and bring the video with him and in the mean time I would arranged to locate the people he requested to view the video. My first impression was it was like a roose to trick researchers to enter yet another formation and try to fool them into believing it was a genuine formation.
With in minutes after receiving the phone call, others and myself left for Oliver's Castle. Sure enough a formation was there. We began tramping down the hill in the pouring rain to take a closer look. Upon entering the formation I found it to be quite messy and appeared to be of poor quality. The formation did not rank very high in my standards. Upon entering the formation we did create a lot of mud, however the rain washed away our muddy footprints. The arguments that people typically use for whether a formation is hoaxed or not, is if there are any footprints to be found inside a new formation. We left the formation feeling very disappointed. I was debating at that point whether to leave Wiltshire or return to the Barge and await this mysterious caller. Due to the fact I was making a new film related to UFOs and the crop circle connection, I decided to stay.
Approximately at 10:45, John Whaley and a young chap (who quietly remained in the background) entered the pub carrying an aluminium camera case. I immediately approached him and asked if he was John, which he confirmed. Many people who were at the pub awaiting John's arrival had already left. Who remained were Freddy Sylva, Jane Ross, Michael Hubbard, Nik Nickolson and myself. John proceeded to show us in turn, through his camcorder viewfinder, his video, which he claimed to have filmed that morning. My immediate reaction was "Wow, I thought I was the luckiest man in the world." Here I was producing a film and now I had a chance to secure some rights to use the footage, but I did not push it at the time.

Everybody's reaction was similar to mine. I saw the video twice that night. The first time I just focused on viewing the lights, I was not aware of the formation underneath the lights. The second time I viewed the film I focused on the formation. It did not appear to synchronistically lay with the movements of the lights. I then suggested and offered John Whaley, 100 pounds cash for him to come to AVP Studio in Swindon, where I would supply him with a broadcast copy of his master so he could make copies from a master dub, as opposed to using his master. I also offered to put in writing that I would not use the footage if he would come to Swindon. He refused and said he was tired. He then left the pub leaving his telephone number with Freddy Sylva for the purpose of contact with Colin Andrews.
Then I had a meeting with Colin Andrews a couple of days later at my caravan to discuss how we might combine efforts in relocating John Whaley in the attempt to obtain copies of this footage and secure it. I phoned John everyday and left messages on his message machine, however he did not return my calls. I believe he got in contact with Colin Andrews directly and supplied him with a copy and a contract for distribution as he saw fit. As Colin stated to "execute detailed analysis of the film and to handle world wide media interest in the footage...."
He further stated that several major inquiries including the British Military (who might have been present at Oliver's Castle), were now commencing. Colin also made it clear that until detailed analysis of the footage was complete, the video would not be available; therefore the first 'classified' conclusions of the tape would be released through CPRI.
However Colin impressed the fact;
"The whole filmed sequence is just a few seconds long
and shows either a very elaborate attempt to fraud or we have
secured the most incredibly important UFO and crop circle film footage ever!"
Shortly after words Peter Sorensen was approached by John Whaley referencing to view the film and offer his comments. AVP studios in Swindon, received a phone call tipping them off to the secret meeting between John Whaley and Peter Sorensen. Who was responsible for that phone call tip? John Huckvale contacted me and suggested I intercept that meeting for the purpose of obtaining the footage for the new program on UFOs and crop circles. When I entered the pub to the astonishment of Peter Sorensen, I stared exchanging pleasantries with Mr. Whaley. I suggested that we could go to the studio in Swindon and view the footage through a broadcast monitor and view the footage more clearly with an image enhancement program. Under the advice of Peter Sorensen he agreed. We went off to the studio and proceeded to analyze the footage.
John Whaley was holding his 8-mm master tape and inserted it directly into the professional 8-mm master machine, as if he knew exactly how to handle studio equipment. I found that unusual because it is unlike any domestic equipment. We transferred the footage to a broadcast quality tape and proceeded to enhance and check the footage. Suddenly John became agitated and with a brief goodbye, exited the studio as quick as he entered it, he was very keen to leave. He obviously showed signs of discomfort. For days we continued to check and look at the footage. We became more and more suspicious as the days went on.
John Huckvale pointed out there was field discrepancies on the video suggesting at some point the video had been rendered as an animation sequence.
A video film has two fields of lines sequenced a fraction of a second apart. The two fields are recognizable because each field corresponds to a designated 'line'. One field's lines are characterized by 'odd' numbers and the other field from 'even' numbers. One video frame consists of these two fields of lines; thus creating in affect, actually two images contained within the frame. This is known as double image and this is what causes jitter on the screen. If you overlay a second sequence of film/computer images etc., on top of the original video film footage, the edited frames read out as single images,
not double. The spheres of light on the video are of single imaging, not double.
In the mean time I faxed Colin Andrews expressing the need of caution in handling this film. We also issued Peter Sorensen a brief written report of our findings. At that point I felt no need to pursue the analysis of the film any further. Throughout the winter I continued to research ufology, have a child and recover from a brief illness totally unaware of the controversy that existed over the film on the Internet and the crop circle community. In May of 1997, while I was accessing the Internet I came across the article, "The Oliver's Castle Fraud, the Final Word" by Colin Andrews.
I was totally amazed and disappointed with the allegations Colin Andrews
made stating my alleged involvement
in making the hoax film based on circumstantial evidence.
It was clear that Colin overstepped his ground and made some false statements due to his lack of thorough investigation of the matter. However, I do not blame Colin totally as he relied on a third hand witness, Matthew Williams. Matthew Williams was employed by me as a cameraman for my film and was terminated from his duties due to certain curious activities involving a crop circle formation, which appeared in the Alton Barnes area in 1996. There were various other questionable acts of behaviour and issues I need not go further into.
All the rumours and speculations about my involvement in the Oliver's Caste footage
was due to Matthew's false accounting of the story along with him saying
he witnessed me make the animation at AVP studio.
Whenever I am questioned in regards to my involvement of the footage only one person's name, that who's is Matthew Williams, consistently comes up as the perpetrator of the falsehoods made against me.
This is unreliable and poor quality journalism from a man who demands respect for his great knowledge and understanding of any major events involving crop circles.
Colin Andrew's article was very inappropriate and contained a lot of false statements, which have personally affected in a negative way, friends, family and myself.
There is no place for irresponsible journalism especially when people are out there seeking truths, only to be told stories which are anything but the truth.
However through all of this I will commend Colin for hiring a private detective to pursue and locate John Whaley.
(Although, commending Colin for finally hiring a detective still does not detract fromthe fact Colin Andrews
caused great harm with his punitive damaging false statements
against me (and others) serving his greed and megalomaniac mind.)
I had to turn the pages and use his detective to my advantage.
Colin Andrew's article on his home page stated the fact that his private detective had found the name of John Whaley to actually be John Wabe. He also stated John Wabe was employed by a film and animation studio in Bristol. It was at that point I decided to further Colin's investigation and take it one-step further.
From basic logical deduction I proceeded to make a list of all of the companies in Bristol and the surrounding areas which had the capabilities to produce such a film. There were very few possibilities. I began to check the facilities closest and most accessible to Oliver's Castle (due to time and location). The first company I contacted was BDC in Bath. By ringing them and simply asking if it was possible to speak to John Wabe, to my surprise, they stated that John Wabe did not actually work there but did use their facility quite often for the purpose of digital postproduction and graphic animation. They asked the nature of my inquiry and I told them I was referred to John for some price quoting on animation and just left it at that as to not arouse any suspicion. They mentioned he worked for a company called FIRST CUT based in Bristol. It was so easy to find this guy. Is it possible that BDC Studio in Bath was the facility John Used to produce the video?
There are very few companies with the capabilities to produce 3D animation. I proceeded to inquire through operator's assistance, telephone directory… the telephone number of FIRST CUT Studios, however there was no such listing. By coincidence, I was riding a bus through Bristol on my return journey home pass the HTV studio complex, which houses various digital postproduction companies. Listed on the companies index board was FIRST CUT TV. I rang the bell on the bus and jumped off immediately on the next stop. At that point I was so eager to throttle with John ,I decided to go to the information department of HTV and inquire about FIRST CUT TV…. what facilities did they provide and so on. They suggested I speak to them direct and patched me through to the FIRST CUT TV Receptionist.
I spoke to a gentleman called John Lomas, he suggested we meet me at the reception area where he would take me for a tour of his TV facilities. Lomas asked me why I was interested in the facilities, I told him I was a film producer and was looking for a local facility to cut a program. He showed me an avid 8000 Video Editing Suite and pointed to an adjoining door stating the graphics workstation was linked though a separate room. There was a client in the room with a gentleman with blonde hair who I immediately recognized as John Whaley, (John Wabe). I stood out of view from John Wabe as to not have him recognize me and suggested when I had more time I would come back at a later date and completely tour the facilities.
In order to further my investigation I had to be sure I had the right person as John Wabe whom now had blonde hair. When I first met John, his hair was quite dark. I thought it was appropriate to conduct some surveillance in the private members bar directly below FIRST CUT Studio where I went in and ordered a drink. The entire complex is protected by security cameras and guards, I was asked who I was and claimed I was working in the complex. I was not questioned any further.
I spent several days hanging out around the bar at teatime in order to get a better look at John. From that point onwards, when I felt I was satisfied I had the right person, John Huckvale and myself orchestrated a plan in which he would carry a camera and enter the studios with the intention of getting John Wabe on film behind his workstation. This was attempted on June the 4th and was successful in that respect. Later that day we reentered the FIRST CUT Studio and it was at that point I made my identity aware to John Wabe.
His first look at me entering the studio was that of displeasure while I asked him if it was possible we could discuss a piece of footage. He asked me to set up an appointment, which I did for the following Tuesday. On the Monday before the meeting he rang AVP Studio in Swindon and cancelled the appointment stating he was too busy. I contacted John Wabe via telephone and asked him why he cancelled the meeting and he suggested we not do this by telephone. I asked him directly what was his involvement in the Oliver's Castle footage. He denied any knowledge of the film. I told him we had film of him in the studio at Swindon as John Whaley and further at his workstation as John Wabe. I told him he was one of the same and left it at that. He was very evasive. I gave a great deal of thought of how I was to continue my investigation….Next…
Now....NIPPON TV
Nippon TV contacted me as a witness for their production of the Oliver's Castle footage.
I offered the information I achieved while tracking John Whaley
and they were very keen to be involved with the expose.
We teamed our efforts and planned our doorstep challenge
and direct confrontation with John Whaley/John Wabe.
On the wall of the studio was a picture of John Wabe, of how he used to look. I filmed the photo and showed it to Peter Sorensen who identified the man's photo as the John Whaley he had met. On that basis we proceeded with the expose. To follow…. On Friday July 18th 1997, at approximately 7:30am, Lee, Peter, and seven Nippon TV camera crewmembers made their way to Bristol for the FIRST CUT Studios. The film crew went inside with cameras rolling while Peter and I sat outside in the car park maintaining communication devices. There was a technical problem with some of the communications devices, so it was difficult to ascertain what was occurring inside. However, I was able to relay to Peter some of the events which were taking place in the studio.
The business partner of John Wabe -- 'John Lomas,' was shown the footage by the TV crew
and confronted about John Wabe's connection to it. He said that "Yes, John was involved,"
but that the film crew would have to talk to John Wabe personally.
John Lomas left the room at this point to consult with John Wabe, relating the nature of the film crew inquiry. While the film crew was unaware, John Wabe fled out of his office, actually leaving the client he was attending there on the spot. Peter Sorensen, patiently waiting with his camcorder in the car park, saw a man coming from the building, enter a car and start the ignition. His memory raced - then clicked. Yes, this was the man he met last year and - he was attempting to escape the cameras. Peter jumped out as the camera starting to roll as John drove away. At a crucial moment of eye contact, John saw Peter recognized him, waved and smiled gallantly to the camera. As he sped away in safety I ran after the fleeing car, shouting requests if he was responsible for the footage…but to no avail. After this daring escapade, a request was made to John Lomas for John Wabe to come clean and admit his involvement.
Afterwards, John Wabe was in phone contact, stating he WAS involved
in the production of this video but could not comment further due to an
exclusive contract with a broadcast production, DISCOVERY CHANNEL, USA.
John Wabe did make it clear that he would like this all to "Just go away."
He is not hiding the fact that it IS a HOAX.
In our opinion he has been paid well to perform this duty, and he almost got away with it.
I personally believe that this is not only a cynical attempt to extract vast sums of money from broadcasters, I believe there is a deeper darker reason for this hoax. WHO commissioned this footage and WHY? However, it reeks of a previous scent of the DOUG & DAVE scenario campaign which presented itself in 1991. Some very interesting circumstantial evidence has developed since this expose. Through inquiries in relation to John Wabe's photograph in the studio it has been revealed that it is in fact a publicity photograph for an optician company. The photograph was taken several years ago for an advertising company (Mcan Erickson) in relation to an optician's advertisement. It may be worth stating the fact that any statements I make now are purely assumptions and should not be taken as fact, however there does appear to be some interesting coincidences.
During a conversation with renowned crop circle hoaxer Robert Irving, (and who also created a cut and paste UFO photo for a Fortean Times article) in late July of 97, at the Barge Inn, I asked if he had ever been commissioned by an optician company for advertisement photos. He replied "yes, many". I also questioned if he had ever been involved with the company Mcan. He finished the title of the company (Erickson), which he agreed he had taken photos for opticians through that company.
Maybe I am grasping at straws at this moment, but could it be possible that there may be a connection between John Wabe and Robert Irving through this photo. Has their paths crossed before? In addition, John Wabe has lived in Bath where as Rob Irving has family in Bath and has lived there also. It is also a place, Bath, where Jim Schnabel has spent a great deal of time schooling in Journalism. I apologize in advance if the conclusions I have reached in regards to John Wabe and Robert Irving are totally co-incidental, however I will pursue this photograph matter and get 100 percent confirmation of whether it is Robert's photograph or not.
To many of the crop circle researchers who want to believe this is a genuine film,
it must be understood that it is not and that it should not be revered as such.
I suggest the researchers who continue spreading false statements of
"genuine footage of balls of light creating a crop circle formation..."
despite the evidence presented;
should reevaluate their own personal agenda and
take into account the dis-information they are spreading.
We all have a responsibility of presenting factual accounts and not irresponsibly selling fairy tales to the public who intrust us for factually based information. I suggest they pack their suitcase and return home with the film and review it in the privacy of their own home.
This article is written in the attempt to portray actual events and to clear up any misleading previous articles. It was very hard for me through all of these negative allegations to continue and complete my investigation about the truth of the video. At times I felt overwhelmed and wanted to pack it up, but I felt the need to expose the truth and let dead dogs lie. I would like to thank the very few people who have reserved judgment and waited patiently for all of the facts to be collected. These are the sort of people who should be promoting crop circles and not the "opinionated", "judgmental" and "lack of evidence" grade researchers. I am undecided to where my research will go at this point. Maybe Roswell!
