Peter Foster: ICAAN, they can't

Peter Foster is excellent on the UN's attempt to CONTROL the internet which is FREE as it is. This frightens those who have been in control--and pretend to be democratic--and those who rule by repression, viciously dominating the populace. Many, but not all are at the top of the UN hierarchy. Think hard!

Foster's article adds explanatory information to the UN's plans and our privacy mentioned yesterday in a post, "Immigration, Internet Privacy & Gov, ACOA-Transfers, Criminality & Root Causes, Media, Music, Book: Bill Sampson"

Our government's plans to pass the legislation mentioned, IMHO, fits right in with the UN and a desire to have control of the citizenry.



Poof! Gremlins again

I had included an update with links for news of election talkback shows here: Updated: Paul Martin -- My Plans -- Oh, woe! posted Monday, Nov. 14, 05

I saw this link; it was fine but . . . for then . . . Poof! . . . It seemed to have changed. Maybe my eyesight is going. Certain topics . . .

Note the CJAD link: use CJAD Montreal


An added break or "br" means the link won't work. Add this wrinkle to disappearing website pages--information and history--some photos disappearing but not others--and what do you have?

An election coming?

Poll: "Ontarians Stand with Police Officers: Public Safety is Important" -- powerful graphic information -- methodology included -- unlike some polls


Highlights

Poll: "public believe that public safety is a priority issue. Increasing fear of crime, inadequate funding for police services and a lax court and parole system" (Toronto, ON) – Nov. 15, 05

The Police Association of Ontario (PAO), representing over 30,000 front-line police personnel, commissioned a public opinion poll conducted by Innovative Research Group. [. . . . ]

The complete poll is available on the PAO web site at www.pao.on.ca under Media Releases. Some of the highlights include:

* Over half (51%) of Ontarians expect that they or a family member will have property stolen as a result of a break-in within the next five years.

* More Ontario residents than a year and one-half ago feel they or a family member will be physically attacked in the next five years, up 6 points to 32%.

* An overwhelming majority (80%) say that gun violence has worsened in the past five years.

* Four-out-of-five (81%) Ontarians continue to believe that funding for police services is one area that should not be cut back despite budget deficits.

* In fact, a clear majority (58%) of Ontarians believe that municipal governments should increase funding for police services.

* A decisive 93% of those polled agree that Canadian laws and eligibility for parole should be toughened to make persons convicted of crimes of violence and gun crimes more accountable for their actions.

PAO Chief Administrative Officer Bruce Miller added, “The poll results are consistent with what our members from across the province will be saying when they meet with their MPP’s today. Violent crime is a problem and the best way to combat it is to ensure that police have the proper resources they need including provisions that ensure that violent offenders are dealt with harshly by the courts”.
