No, there is a chip in my physical Australian passport that allows access via a scanner to all of the information about me on record. It is also a regular passport with a photograph in it. At all Australian airports (and from what I can gather US international airports) they are using face...
There is absolutely biometric information connected to the new e-passports. We spend a month or so every year in the US. Since 911, we have been fingerprinted, photographed & otherwise measured each time we have entered the country. I was told explicitly at US Immigration this year that all...
ConMan, thanks for the links to Aaron Russo. As a non-American, I had not known of him until today. . .I have watched most of the clips today on the freedom to fascism site & am rivetted. Although the focus for most Americans is the effect on them/you, this all pertains to those of us who live...
Too busy ROFLTAO?? I actually think this is a personal favour from GWB to Johnny Howard, who he is down here electioneering for at APEC (or OPEC as he thinks it is called, along with thinking our PM went all the way to Iraq to inspect the Austrian troops - good grief!). I swear to you all...
Well "my" government (crap I can't wait for Novemeber when our mongrel Prime Minister is going to get his conniving, bullshitting ass handed to him on a plate) just signed a trade deal with Russia & India to sell them our Uranium - for energy use only of course - which free's up their existing...
It is a very dangerous thing to go through life prepared to believe (esp) the official line of governments, when the evidence does not stack up to support it.
Personally I thought much of the Lose Change stuff was way out there, but it did one thing well - begged questions that MUST be asked...
J-man you should try on this level of clarity and concision all of the time & people might actually a) have a clue what it is you are usually raving on about b) take notice & ask themselves appropriate questions. Thanks for a well thought post absent the usual esoteria.
A link to one of the subjects interviewed for the movie & just how he came to be involved. . .really high moral standards these film makers have - but then again theres a lot of ends justifying means in the bible so this must all be ok...
You see there you go again. Drawing conclusions that are obvious only to you, and making absolute statements about the definition and nature of others experience. By what authority do you determine the capacity of experience of your fellow man - the authority of the church, what you read in...
No, Zzzz, here is where you are wrong. A man thinking about being a billionaire and what that must be like is faaaaaar from abstract, as billionaires exist inside the very limited construct of reality that you are so railing against. So man's ability to consider what it is like to be another...
