CIA has found no evidence of a secret weapons program.
The C.I.A. found no conclusive evidence, as yet, of a secret Iranian nuclear-weapons program running parallel to the civilian operations that Iran has declared to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

I will hereby declare this day to be the dawn of a new era for the blogosphere.

The beginning of the blogocracy.

I declare, that I will work to secure the universal human rights mentioned in UNs human rights conventions and the European Convention on Human Rights of November 4th 1950.

I will oppose measures, that restrict the right to privacy.

The measures put forth by the Danish government and the European Union in an attempt to install Data retention measures. I regard "retaining personal data on everyone (as) an illegal practice in terms of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights and it is disproportionate"

I will work for and securing continuing respect of the division of powers in the judiciary, legislative and executive power.

Everyone who can support this declaration can rightfully be called:

In june the year Greenpeace was fined £ 3.000 under the Danish anti-terrorist laws. They received the fine because of activists actioning against GMO in the headquaters of the Danish Agriculture cooperation. The house is called Axelborg. Greenpeace Denmark appealed the decision.

The anti-terror law in Denmark is so widely defined that even labour union conflicts as well as student demonstrations can be prosecuted !]]> http://www.newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v50/__show_article/_a000050-000065.htm 2005-08-13T07:44:03Z 2005-08-13T08:00:44Z EUropeans protests against data retention You can sign on the petition to protest against EU´s newest ideas to restrict freedom rights in EU. http://www.dataretentionisnosolution.com/index.php About 18.000 has done it so far.

Danish newpaper Politiken.dk carved this out of all the turmoil. During the Sunday 26th Father Charles of the Saint Mary´s Church in Matara held a ceremony. But during the ceremony he laid his glasses down on the alter. After the 3rd wave had come and gone, he later found the glasses 100 metres away in his own bedroom !

Then came the miracle. She was washed back on shore from the sea where she had been floating since Sunday on a ripped off door of her home.
The 13-year-old girl, Maya, was badly bruised and had been kept company on the floating door by sea serpents, but she was not harmed by them. After being washed ashore yesterday, she asked to be taken to the guard house of the airbase. But she was told that it no longer existed, she asked to be taken to the runway, currently the centre of all activity of the devastated base, where 100 IAF personnel have perished. She was treated by doctors for her bruises and later flown out to Port Blair.
“This was a miracle in the midst of the disaster the tsunami wrought,” station commander of the IAF base here, Mr VV Bandhopadhyay said. — PTI

In the wake of the perhaps biggest natural disasters in recent history one big question in Sri Lanka is asked: Where are the dead animals? Global surfnews

Tsunami Adds to Belief in Animals' 'Sixth Sense'
Tsunami kills few animals in Sri Lanka


None is found.


Danish author Ib Micheal was in Ao Sane bay in Thailand (18 kms away from Phuket City) and he noticed that "dogs are smarter than all of us .. and started running away up to the hill tops..long before we even realised what was coming."

Ib Michael Den underlige brusen (Danish)

So if you see animals scurrying away from the ocean or an area where you are. Get out of there.

Or better yet, aline your sixth sense with the rhythm of the earth. But keep a positive attitude anyway.

A course in Miracles is one way. Tai Chi is another. Dancing is yet another or even meditation.

Keep a positive attitude, because "you attract what you fear".

I was looking for a lost login for a site, but stumbled across this one from the celestine-l mailinglist contributed by MichaelS back in 1998. -----//------ WHAT DO I SEE? What do you see, nurses what do you see? Are you thinking when you are looking at me. A crabbit old women, not very wi... When you say in a loud voice---"I do wish you'd try"
Who seems not to notice the things that you do,
And for ever is losing a stocking or shoe,
Who unresisting or not, lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding, the long day to fill,
Is that what you are thinking, is that what you see?

Then open your eyes, nurse, you're not looking at me.
I'll tell you who I am as I sit here so still,
As I use at your bidding, as I eat at your will,
I'm a small child of 10 with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters who love one another,
A young girl of 16 with wings on her feet,
Dreaming that soon now a lover she'll meet,
A bride now at 20--my heart gives a leap,
Remembering the vows that I promised to keep;

At 25 now I have young of my own,
Who need me to build a secure happy home;
A woman of 30 my young now grow fast,
Bound to each other with ties that should last,
At 40 my young sons have grown and are gone,
But my man's beside me to see I don't mourn,
At 50, once more babies play round my knee,
Again we know children, my loved one and me,
Dark days are upon me, my husband is dead,
I look at the future I shudder with dread,
For my young are all rearing young of their own,
And I think of the years and the love that I've known.

I'm an old woman now and nature is cruel---
'Tis her jest to make old age look like a fool,
The body it crumbles, grace and vigor depart,
But inside this old carcass a young girl still dwells,
And now and again my battered heart swells,
I remember the joys, I remember the pain,
And I'm loving and living life over again,
I think of the years all too few-gone too fast,
And accept the stark fact that nothing can last.
So open your eyes nurse, open and see Not a crabbit old women,
look closer---see ME.

After she died it was found among her possessions by a nurse
who was so impressed with it that she had it duplicated and circulated to other nurses in the hospital.]]> http://www.newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v50/__show_article/_a000050-000054.htm 2004-12-12T00:04:59Z 2004-12-12T00:11:35Z
