Hi everyone.
Well the time has come to ask you all to dig deep into your pockets and see if you can spare any hard earned money to keep this going. I am currently in the process of trying to move the site away from Blogger ( I don't want to be dependent on Google, would you?) and into an independent website, I have bought the domain name http://www.dotconnector.co.uk/ and have got the web hosting sorted although it is going to cost a lot more than I originally anticipated as the hits on the site keeps growing and growing so the hosting I have got is just enough to set the thing up but with the increased traffic to the site as it stands now and the amount of content that is added both daily and my plans for the new site mean that the costs are going to expand dramatically.
I envisage that I am going to need somewhere in the region of about £700 per month to cover all the costs both direct and indirect.
I know that times are tough for us all but with 1000+ visitors per day on the site it would mean that if only a days worth of visitors each donated £0.70 then we will have achieved our goal.
Anyway thanks for taking the time to read this and if you cant afford to donate just send other people to the site .
Many Thanks

World's Largest Mining Group Calls for Carbon Tax in Australia
Marius Kloppers, the chief executive of BHP Billiton, warned that the Australian economy would suffer significantly if the country did not implement a carbon tax before the international community imposed one. "Failure to do so will place us at a competitive disadvantage in a future where carbon is priced globally," he told a lunch in Sydney yesterday (THURS).
Mr Kloppers said Australia, which is the largest emitter of carbon dioxide per person in the world, needed to "look beyond coal" for alternative sources of energy before the introduction of a global price on carbon.'

Taliban Could Defeat NATO in 30 Days

Eco-Fascists Call For Tyranny To Enforce Draconian Agenda
The mask of the man-made global warming movement is slowly being ripped away to reveal the true nature of what we face – a gang of hardcore control freaks who have hijacked well-placed environmental concerns as a vehicle through which to enact their religion of death – eugenics.
This was exemplified earlier this week when Bill Gates was caught in a controversy after he advocated the use of death panels to make rulings on denying health care to the elderly. Gates’ justification that killing old people could save money to preserve jobs was a classic case of social cannibalism, the end justifies the means, and it revealed the true nature of the eco-fascist agenda.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funds vaccines for the third world to the tune of billions, and yet in his own speeches Gates has advocated using vaccines to lower global population, all in the name of reducing CO2 emissions and combating global warming. In other words, Gates invokes the vaccines he funds in the name of improving health care as a tool of forced sterilization.'

Pictures Prove Mini Nukes Caused 9-11 Devastation
1.A volcanic eruption
2.A thermo nuclear detonation
On the morning of September 11th, 2001, we were told a fairy tale. That wide body jets flew into the twin towers and completely destroyed them. Let me repeat that: Passenger planes (large hollow aluminum tubes) flew into industrial steel, marble and concrete sky scrapers, and caused them to turn into a pile of dust. And the worst part about this fairy tale is that we, the American people believed it. Now, nine years later, it's time to wake up from your slumber and take a good hard look at what did and did not happen on that fateful day. The conventional explanation we were provided, by government and media, for a top-down highly destructive gravitational collapse, in near-free-fall times, is physically impossible, and is thus about as worthy of discussion as is the belief that the Earth is flat.'

He is not 'eloquent'--he's been groomed to be a smooth talker to appear erudite as he reads teleprompted scripts that are pumped at him. His reading ability only compares well to his fumble-bum predecessor Bush. All this is staged and deliberate.
Nor is his story powerful. It’s empty. It’s the pathetic journey of a weak, handled boy, groomed and programmed to be a controlled puppet. In fact, they won't even tell us the true story.

Blackwater/Xe Cells Conducting False Flag Terrorist Attacks in Pakistan
Only recently did the US State Department designate the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), also known as the Pakistani Taliban, a terrorist group. The group is said by the State Department to be an off-shoot of the Afghan Taliban, which had links to “Al Qaeda” before the 9/11 attacks on the United States. TTP’s leader is Hakimullah Mehsud, said to be 30-years old and operating from Pakistan’s remote tribal region with an accomplice named Wali Ur Rehman. In essence, this new team of Mehsud and Rehman appears to be the designated replacement for Osama Bin Laden and Ayman Zawahiri as the new leaders of the so-called “Global Jihad” against the West.
However, it is Xe cells operating in Karachi, Peshawar, Islamabad and other cities and towns that have, according to our source who witnessed the U.S.-led false flag terrorist operations in Pakistan. Bombings of civilians is the favored false flag event for the Xe team and are being carried out under the orders of the CIA.'

Expert Predicts 5.5 Magnitude Earthquake Could Hit London At Any Time
It could easily happen again, says Dr Musson
Dr Roger Musson of the British Geological Survey in Edinburgh said that a sub-sea fault under the Straits of Dover that has caused two large earthquakes in the past 700 years could strike again at any time, putting London in the firing line.
The geological fault has already generated relatively large earthquakes in 1382 and 1580 and there is a substantial risk that a similar-sized earthquake could occur again with severe consequences for the capital given that it rests on clay soil that is easily shaken, Dr Musson said.'

Help Needed Urgently
Hi everyone.
Well the time has come to ask you all to dig deep into your pockets and see if you can spare any hard earned money to keep this going. I am currently in the process of trying to move the site away from Blogger ( I don't want to be dependent on Google, would you?) and into an independent website, I have bought the domain name http://www.dotconnector.co.uk/ and have got the web hosting sorted although it is going to cost a lot more than I originally anticipated as the hits on the site keeps growing and growing so the hosting I have got is just enough to set the thing up but with the increased traffic to the site as it stands now and the amount of content that is added both daily and my plans for the new site mean that the costs are going to expand dramatically.
I envisage that I am going to need somewhere in the region of about £700 per month to cover all the costs both direct and indirect.
I know that times are tough for us all but with 1000+ visitors per day on the site it would mean that if only a days worth of visitors each donated £0.70 then we will have achieved our goal.
Anyway thanks for taking the time to read this and if you cant afford to donate just send other people to the site .
Many Thanks

Mossad Art Students Are Back
In the most recent incident, federal officials of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) report Israeli “art students” visiting their homes in Brea, California, in Orange County. Similar to the art student activity in late 2000 and early 2001, one Israeli, accompanied by one or two others, including a driver, canvassed the neighborhood offering Israeli paintings door-to-door. The TSA individuals in the area are not airport screeners but more senior officials of the aviation security agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security. In 2000 and 2001, it was the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that initiated an investigation of the activity as an intelligence operation by Israel but the investigation was eventually halted a few months prior to 9/11 on the orders of Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI director Louis Freeh. After 9/11 and the revelation of the Israeli operation in the media, FBI director Robert Mueller continued the “hands-off” approach to the Israeli activity.'

Bombshell From London Think-Tank - No Al-Qaeda Threat!
I've been an IISS member for over 20 years. IISS's reports are always authoritative but usually cautious and diplomatic, sometimes dull. However, two weeks ago the IISS issued an explosive report on Afghanistan that is shaking Washington and its Nato allies.
The report, presided over by the former deputy director of Britain's foreign intelligence agency, MI-6, says the threat from al-Qaeda and Taliban has been "exaggerated" by the western powers. The US-led mission in Afghanistan has "ballooned" out of all proportion from its original aim of disrupting and defeating al-Qaeda. The US-led war in Afghanistan, says IISS, using uncharacteristically blunt language, is "a long-drawn-out disaster".
Just recently, CIA chief Leon Panetta admitted there were no more than 50 members of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Yet US President Barack Obama has tripled the number of US soldiers there to 120,000 to fight Al Qaeda.'

How Corporations Own the US Congress
This begs the question: Whom does the two party system work for?

The article explains how giant corporations — from Wall-mart to weapons manufacturers — are planning on shifting their hiring practices for lobbyists, from Democratic to Republican ex-congressmen in preparation for the Republicans gaining seats in the upcoming November elections:
"Lobbyists, political consultants and recruiters all say that the going rate for Republicans — particularly current and former House staff members — has risen significantly in just the last few weeks, with salaries beginning at $300,000 and going as high as $1million for private sector [corporate lobbyist] positions".'

Pakistan Is Dying – The World Yawns
On July 28, the dams burst in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa area of north-western Pakistan after unprecedented monsoon rains. In the next few days the news was slowly trickling out to the world of the imminent disaster from the worst floods in Pakistan’s history.
The North-West Frontier Province, however, had already been hit by disaster long before the monsoon rains started flooding the countryside, uprooting hundreds of thousands of people. The region had already been ravaged by the terrible fighting between Islamic militants and the Pakistani Armed Forces. Millions of people had already fled from their homes and their livelihoods.
Yet, Western reaction to these events, or even knowledge thereof, was practically nil.'

Julie Burchill: You Can't Part a Phoney From his Money in the Age of the Hypercrite
Thus the high-flying poltroon Prince Charles lectures us about our carbon footprint while clocking up enough air miles to make a trolley-dolly dizzy. The Pope rails against the moral vacuum at the heart of modernity while presiding over the biggest paedophile ring in recorded history. Head honchos at the Government quango the Commonwealth Development Corporation live it up in Michelin-starred restaurants, kick back in five-star hotels and take £330 taxi rides from Brussels to Paris, out of the £2.5bn pot of public money set aside for fighting poverty in the world's worst-off countries.
And now Bono, champion of the poor, has moved a good deal of the business of the "ethical" fashion house run by him and his wife, and set up to "encourage trade with Africa and celebrate the possibilities and people of the continent" from said Africa to China. No doubt to celebrate the possibilities of the sweatshops, long hours and low pay that's SO a good look right now!'

Massive Fish Kill Reported in Louisiana
Fish kills are fairly common along the Gulf Coast, particularly during the summer in the area near the mouth of the Mississippi, the site of this kill. The area is rife with dead zones -- stretches where sudden oxygen depletion can cause widespread death. But those kills tend to be limited to a single species of fish, rather than the broad sort of die-off involved in this kill.
And therein lies the concern of Gulf residents, who suspect this may be yet another side effect of the catastrophic BP oil spill.'
