France Bans Laypeople From Reporting Violence
PC World ^ | Tuesday, March 06, 2007 | Peter Sayer
New French law says that only professional journalists can film or broadcast acts of violence The French Constitutional Council has approved a law that criminalizes the filming or broadcasting of acts of violence by people other than professional journalists. The law could lead to the imprisonment of eyewitnesses who film acts of police violence, or operators of Web sites publishing the images, one French civil liberties group warned on Tuesday. The council chose an unfortunate anniversary to publish its decision approving the law, which came exactly 16 years after Los Angeles police officers beating Rodney King were filmed by amateur…- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1796263/posts

FROM CHINA WITH LOVE: Industrial soot changing Pacific weather patterns http://tinyurl.com/38uu98
“Soot from the factories of Asia is changing weather across the Pacific Ocean and causing storms like the December howler that clobbered Vancouver’s Stanley Park, a new study says.
For a change, scientists aren’t blaming global warming for the increase in number and intensity of storms. The new study blames sooty, sulphurous coal smoke from Asian industry — largely in China and India — for altering the eastbound “storm track” in the Pacific.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
Somewhere Chaiman Moe is smiling secure in the knowledge he exempted China from Kyoto and profited from the coal fired energy expansion there while his Kyoto androids in Canada attempt to punish this nation to a productivity standstill for it’s 2% carbon contribution.
Maybe these Chinese coal “soot storms” are what Have ruined the weather over Suzuki’s Quadra Is. diggs….some one gonna pay fer that!!…Kanikistani suckers seem easy enough to shake down 😉
Glenn Reynolds says – at instapundit.com/archives2/003103.php – that “The Secular Islam Summit hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves”. The following quote is from summit’s St. Petersburg Declaration:
“We are secular Muslims, and secular persons of Muslim societies. We are believers, doubters, and unbelievers, brought together by a great struggle, not between the West and Islam, but between the free and the unfree. We affirm the inviolable freedom of the individual conscience. We believe in the equality of all human persons.
“We insist upon the separation of religion from state and the observance of universal human rights. We find traditions of liberty, rationality, and tolerance in the rich histories of pre-Islamic and Islamic societies. These values do not belong to the West or the East; they are the common moral heritage of humankind.”
If you have not yet seen it, I highly recommend summit attendee Dr. Wafa Sultan’s debate on Al Jazeera: youtube.com/watch?v=2WLoasfOLpQ
More nonsense from Richard Gwyn on Harper election call:
“This is the legality of the matter. It saves Harper from having to think up ways to so enrage simultaneously the Liberals, NDP and Bloc Québécois that they commit joint hara-kiri by defeating the Conservatives at a time when they are all down in the polls.
The politics of the matter are a bit different. While there’s nothing to prevent Harper from calling an election tomorrow and explaining, “I’m doing it for no reason except that I’m going to win it,” most political pros will judge this a Bad Thing for him to do.
Not bad in itself – since it would be the truth – but bad in its consequences. Canadian voters might get shirty.
So what Harper will have to do is lie. Or to fake it, to use a gentler verb.
Here the dynamics get really interesting. Voters will know Harper will be faking it. But provided he fakes well, he’ll both save our sense of self-esteem and demonstrate he possesses the faking skills that are so essential to any successful prime minister.
So wait until the March 26 Quebec election. Then, provided that federalist Premier Jean Charest wins that election, watch thereafter for Harper to call a quick election. Then decide whether he’s worth re-electing on the basis of whether he fakes well or ineptly.”
Unbelievable. Let’s see. In the latest sitting of the House, the “opposition” has killed a vital tool in fighting terrorism, passed a cynical Kyoto compliance bill, and signalled our enemies in Afghanistan that we want to pull out soon, giving them even more motivation to kill soldiers. Oh yeah, Gwyn, Harper is a liar, liar, pants on fire. This guy writes articles that appear unbiased, and then launches into some irrational argument, in this case, that Harper must lie to people to call an election, and being a big fat liar (like Chretien?) qualifies him to be prime minister. Last week he naively argued that Harper is catering to Quebec to secure a majortity government. Gwyn has been on the scene for decades, so this misread can’t be chalked up to inexperience. So, what is his motive?
vf,
I saw Liberal Senator Marie Poulin on Duffy too.
I was thinking how condescending and unprofessional she behaved. A greeter at Wal-Mart is more professional and better trained for their job.
So I looked her up, wondering what great contribution to society she must have made to cause the Librano$ to appoint her to the Senate and get a package actuarially worth millions.
Guess what her background is?

The whole MSM must have figured they had a shot at one of these Senator jobs if they just kept worshiping at the feet of Chrétien/Martin.

CPAC is carrying the daily testimony before the Major Inquiry (Air India).
Wed. a.m. will be testimony from the RCMP starting at 9:30 a.m. (ET).
The first witness – Wesley Wark from the Munk Institute – gave a very impressive/compelling delivery on Monday. Tuesday’s testimony was from CSIS (O’Brien) (who happens to also be a lawyer by profession). It was also very insightful but not quite as compelling.
This promises to be a very useful commission and hopefully a whole lot of what likely should have been corrected/aired in public long ago will be done now. High time and hoepfully the government will not hide behind a whole lot of redactions by repeating the same old, same old – can’t do this for reasons of compromising security.
Out security/law and order is in many tatters now and the longer it is left not dealt with, the worse it is going to be.

Otherwise, any damage to electric gen. or oil and gas infrastructure would only inflame all Iranians against the West.

Posted by: johnboy at March 5, 2007 11:36 PM”
well johnboy, so you have a copy of the 1956 topical britannica encyclopeadia in your possession which you use to look up ‘popular expressions’.
why dont you stack them all on edge and I will demostrate what an assault rifle will do.
and with regards to the shooting range rules about ‘cammo gear not allowed’, that is the long standing tradition of EVERY private target range I have contacted here in very conservative eastern canada.
for good reason; we arent interested in projecting some hollywood image of machismo, we go to the range to pass the time, trade tips, and pop a hundred or so rounds down range, depending on how busy the place is. one chap who was founder and long member and the only one to achieve TWO perfect scores 20/20 in the bulls eye, was instrumental in getting THAT rule carved in granite and in the club membership requirements.
imache imache imache.
feel free to trapse around in cammo gear all you want in bollocksland like some movie extra or delusional psycho guerilla right wing rural gun nut but stay the fuk away from the gentlemen’s club target ranges.
you also show complete absence in the evolution of language; it doesnt MATTER what the original root origin of words is, the only thing that matters is current common use and wide understanding.
youre like the bikers who point to the fact the hell’s angels started with WW II pilots after 1945 with a lot of time and need for thrills and having fun and requisite mechanical aptitude.
it dont matter what the origins are, the thing that matters is bikers NOW are meth lab pimps and protection racket artists.
likewise your precious ‘left wing california agenda’ crap. sounds kinda paranoid to me really, another common trait with rightist wingnuts.

nuthin in the rules says I cant cut & paste from elsewhere.
Im still waiting for his admission that there are in fact very liteweight nukes in existence (proof: ‘suitcase’ warheads) one of which is launched from a bazooka like apparatus delivering single digit kton blast.
all he wants to do is dwell and dwell on a highly refined definition of ‘assault rifle’.
also he refuses to address the FACT that the old chestNUT excuse about ‘guns dont kill people, people kill people’ is very LIMITED in its applicability; its the friggin GUN bein used BY the ‘people’ killing people.
to use johnboy’s logic however, shoulder launched nukes and all manner of death delivering concoctions should be made available to the ‘law abidin’ general public, jest laak dem guns guns guns !!!
seein as, well, shoulder launched nukes and anthrax doan’ kills peeble, peeble kills peeble.
deadly compact automatic firearms of no use on a target range or for hunting game need to be BANNED from general availability despite the nra’s or johnboy’s wishes.

Suitcase nukes? Are you serious? Too much TV, man. Really.

But they won’t. Which is a good reason, pace Prof. Wark, not to have any Commons or joint committee with access to any classified info. Just look what fools (the Commons, not the Senate) they make of themselves when dealing with national defence.

Toronto had coldest february in 28 years:

But no reference to kyoto, in a weather article, in the Toronto Star, funny enough. I wonder why.
I have one question. How much is it going to cost the Liberal Party of Canada in Carbon Credit offsets to make up for the roasting and toasting and outright “environment polluting burnup” that this party is going to endure in the next federal election? They don’t have that kind of money.
Another ‘stunning’ (or should I say ‘stunned’) article by CTV:

Haven’t I heard the name, Jennifer Ditchburn, before. Isn’t she another one of those tired Liberals trying their hardest to spin things against Harper because they’re starting to crap their pants where the popular vote is heading?

well johnboy, so you have a copy of the 1956 topical britannica encyclopeadia in your possession which you use to look up ‘popular expressions’.
why dont you stack them all on edge and I will demostrate what an assault rifle will do.
and with regards to the shooting range rules about ‘cammo gear not allowed’, that is the long standing tradition of EVERY private target range I have contacted here in very conservative eastern canada.
for good reason; we arent interested in projecting some hollywood image of machismo, we go to the range to pass the time, trade tips, and pop a hundred or so rounds down range, depending on how busy the place is. one chap who was founder and long member and the only one to achieve TWO perfect scores 20/20 in the bulls eye, was instrumental in getting THAT rule carved in granite and in the club membership requirements.
imache imache imache.
feel free to trapse around in cammo gear all you want in bollocksland like some movie extra or delusional psycho guerilla right wing rural gun nut but stay the fuk away from the gentlemen’s club target ranges.
you also show complete absence in the evolution of language; it doesnt MATTER what the original root origin of words is, the only thing that matters is current common use and wide understanding.
youre like the bikers who point to the fact the hell’s angels started with WW II pilots after 1945 with a lot of time and need for thrills and having fun and requisite mechanical aptitude.
it dont matter what the origins are, the thing that matters is bikers NOW are meth lab pimps and protection racket artists.
likewise your precious ‘left wing california agenda’ crap. sounds kinda paranoid to me really, another common trait with rightist wingnuts.
Nobody named Johnboy has commented in this thread, Robert.

ya gotta sift thru an earlier tips post to find it.
the one with his march 5 addendum consisting of a personal insult. you know all about that vituvus.
nuthin in the rules says I cant cut & paste from elsewhere.
Im still waiting for his admission that there are in fact very liteweight nukes in existence (proof: ‘suitcase’ warheads) one of which is launched from a bazooka like apparatus delivering single digit kton blast.
all he wants to do is dwell and dwell on a highly refined definition of ‘assault rifle’.
also he refuses to address the FACT that the old chestNUT excuse about ‘guns dont kill people, people kill people’ is very LIMITED in its applicability; its the friggin GUN bein used BY the ‘people’ killing people.
to use johnboy’s logic however, shoulder launched nukes and all manner of death delivering concoctions should be made available to the ‘law abidin’ general public, jest laak dem guns guns guns !!!
seein as, well, shoulder launched nukes and anthrax doan’ kills peeble, peeble kills peeble.
deadly compact automatic firearms of no use on a target range or for hunting game need to be BANNED from general availability despite the nra’s or johnboy’s wishes.
That mean nurse steal your meds again, Bobbybollocks?
Suitcase nukes? Are you serious? Too much TV, man. Really.

Cherniak: Liberal GTA transit plan finally funded
Today, blagh, blagh, blagh, …
It’s about bloody time. It only took Harper a year to promise to give Ontario the money that the Martin government already agreed to give the province.
How many times can Harper announce follow-through on Liberal plans before the media stops giving him credit? This is a great day for Ontario, but
Harper should be condemned for dragging his feet. …-

The “experts” are saying:
Citoyen Dion-Liberals are:
Soft on Crime, in addition to being Soft on Terrorists.
The Crime Expert: Doob says:
“University of Toronto criminologist Anthony Doob says the Liberals, and even the NDP, have ceded the law-and-order stage to the Conservatives: “It’s almost as if they’re embarrassed to be smart about crime.”
But, Doob, the Crime Expert, adds: PM Harper is wrong on Crime!
Doob prefers the Hug-a-Thug Liberals.
“”I look at this and I see one party that’s absolutely clear on its position on crime — and they’re almost always wrong — and the other two national parties are afraid to come out with strong, coherent policies.”

In the article, the Iraqi columnist argues that President Bush’s new strategy in Iraq is already showing signs of success and that what is happening in Iraq will necessarily end in the defeat of terrorism and in the recovery of the region from its ills once and for all.
