Big Hotmail Is Watching

Well, no-one in their right mind ever suspected that Microsoft WASN'T watching your every move, but now, if you use Firefox, you'll probably be alarmed to notice that when you log off your hotmail account, you get this page...The recommended solution to this problem is to turn on cookies - to allow a tracking cookie that Microsoft has now made compulsory if you want to be able to log out of your email. Being something of a paranoid monkey, I would rather pickle my head in vinegar than allow third party cookies from ANY site, so I decided to check if there's a work-around. The official advice is to contact Windows Live support - and give them all your personal details!!! Of course, you don't have to be a genius to guess that once you've told them everything about yourself, they'll just tell you that you need to allow third party cookies!
This problem doesn't happen with Internet Explorer - because they already track your movements through that piece of software.
You don't have to be a paranoid conspiracy theorist like me to be pissed off with this sort of behaviour - what business is it of Microsoft, Google or anyone else what websites I visit?
Of course, if you haven't done anything wrong, you've nothing to fear!

Bilingual Subliminal

Whenever I watch Spanish TV, I always ponder about the use of music in the advertising. Spanish viewers are a lot more accepting of 'dubbed' voices than the English - so many adverts contain English actors dubbed into Spanish. But this does not explain why the Spanish advertisements often use songs that are sung in English. The song is a vital part of an advert, and even though the majority of Spaniards speak at least a little English, not many are conscious of the lyrics...

ING Direct
The Dutch bank has been using for some time now a Christian hymn with a twist. The school I went to in the UK was not a 'religious school', but we had to sing hymns in school assembly., so I recognised this song immediately. The original version is called 'He's got the whole world in his hands' - but the ING version clearly sings 'We've got...' Of course, the Spanish audience does not recognise the blasphemy if they don't know the song - but the message is clear - ING is GOD!! at least in their own opinion!

AXA
The latest advert from this insurance company uses the Madcon song 'Begging You' - signifying that should you ever try to make a claim on your health insurance, you'll have to beg for it!

KH-7
Keeping the Madcon theme going (maybe there's a clue in the band-name too!) their latest release is used in an advert for a stain remover called KH-7 (no relation with the spy-satellite from the 1960's). And what's this song called, that it should be deemed fit to advertise this product? Liar!!!!

Smoking (stats) Ban

I'm an ex-Brit who now lives in Spain, and many of the Spaniards I know ask me what effect banning smoking had in my country of origin (they're going to ban it here too, soon enough). Being the research-monkey, and also an EX-smoker, I decided to check the statistics and see whether the ban has had any effect on the number of smokers in the UK. It seems that there's a burn-hole in the statistics! You can find all the statistics on the net that you want about the number of smokers in the UK before 2007 (the ban took effect in July 2007 (7-7!)). Then suddenly, and for no apparent reason, all the statistics switch. They're no longer mapping the number of smokers - instead they show such pointless info as the number of people who have quit in the last 4 weeks! Personally, I had about 4 failed attempts to quit smoking before I actually succeeded.
The only concrete figure I could find was this one: Official figures show just 21 per cent of adults now light up cigarettes, down from 22 per cent the year before, while a record 59 per cent have now never taken up the habit. In 1974, 45 per cent of adults smoked cigarettes.

So, basically, the number of smokers has been on a slow but steady decline FOR DECADES!!! The smoking ban, just like taxes - doesn't have ANY EFFECT WHATSOEVER!!!!! on the number of smokers. But I would suggest that in a country like Britain, where the winter temperatures can easily drop below zero, that making people stand shivering outside is having a more direct effect on the health of smokers!
This is another case where a long established pattern can be zoomed in and the statistics manipulated to impress the masses.

Al Goresmen of the Apocalypse

Before I begin, I just want to say that in the world of conspiracy-theory you see a lot of stuff about bible prophecy, and I want to make it clear that while I am not a practicing Christian, I realise that both the bible-bashers and the Satanists DO believe in this stuff.
So, a while ago I watched Al Gore's documentary about global warming - a package of facts that everyone except the Americans had already known for about 10 fucking years!! (don't forget as well, that as Vice-President under Clinton, it was HIM that did not sign the Kyoto Treaty all them years ago). And when he won a noble prize, I said that he could've done a lot more to save the planet by not letting Bush into office with a minority of the vote (but that's another story!)
So, a while ago, I saw posters here in Spain for a new documentary project called 'No Hunger' (title is in English even in Spain), with the web address pideseloalgore.com - "ask Al Gore". Turns out, it's not his docuemntary, but they're trying to get his support.
So I thought that with him already single-handedly ending global warming (ie. pestilence) and hunger (ie. famine) there was only 2 of the four horsemen of the apocalypse left for this false prophet. So imagine my surprise when I saw a news story about 2 American journalists captured 'spying' in North Korea - and they plan to send him as special envoy. The twist? The journalists work for HIS media company!!! So when he manages to broker a peace-deal with the North Koreans, that'll be War that he's managed to chase off on his red steed.
Conclusion? There's only one horesman left for Al to tackle - Death. Probably the most difficult of the 4: Maybe his media company will announce that his scientific division has discovered a cure for death?
Apocalypsis aside for a moment: Ask yourselves how it is that one of the companies that he heads is making BILLIONS from the 'climate change' issue? (notice that since we've had a couple of cold summers, they've dropped the words 'global warming'?!) - He's one of the one's pushing for a global 'carbon tax' that will punish you and me for producing carbon, but not bother the big corporations that are pumping it out for fun!
UPDATE:
I was looking through the Encyclopedia Dramatica when I discovered this:
In ASCII code, "al gore" = 97 + 108 + 32 + 103 + 111 + 114 + 101 = 666, therefore Al Gore is the anti-Christ.
Make of this what you will, dear readers!

Big Clothes Are Watching You

There was a time when your only concern about clothing labels was either how long it can be washed on a low heat, whether it was made of wool or polyester, or whether its designer is famous or not! Now, the hapless shopper has a new worry - Why are my clothes following me?!
I found this label inside a jumper I bought from a large supermarket chain - it says in various languages "remove this label before wearing". But what's inside the label, I hear you ask! You guessed it - an RFID chip. What's it in there for? Only Satan himself can guess, because the only suggestion anyone I know can think of is that they're security tags. So what was that round plastic thing that they removed at the checkout before I left the shop?! Maybe these tags have a perfectly innocent explanation, and I'm certainly not paranoid enough to think that every item of clothing you ever by is tracked by satellite, but the point is IT COULD BE! So the message is simple - always check the label!

The G and The NFO

(Before I begin, I will just apologise for the length of time since the last post - my computer was literally melted by a bad storm, then there was Christmas, and then starting back at work, etc.. etc.. etc..! So I'm posting 2 stories together.)

The G
The media in Spain was very excited before Christmas, filling the spaces between 'Crisis' related stories (I think they call it a crisis here because it sounds more exciting than recession) by following the government's diplomatic efforts to be allowed into the G20 meeting. But the big question is... WHO CARES!!!!! Nobody ever wondered what the G stood for in G7, then when Live8 did their big concert, most people still didn't know what the G8 actually was, only that it was their responsibility to save Africa this time. The Spanish media was convinced that Spain had been overlooked for admission to the new G20 because they'd pulled out of the Iraq war, and watched in amazement as the President flew around getting support from the likes of Sarkosy to be allowed at the table as a special guest. Officially, the G stands for 'group' - not a particularly imaginative name, you'll agree. But look in the centre of the Freemason logo.
My suggestion is that the G group is the group of nations that have fully accepted Freemasonic/Illuminati principles. At it's core are France and the US (the twin Masonic Republics), Britain (home of the York and Scottish Rites of Freemasonry) and Germany (birthplace of the Bavarian Illuminati). The rest of the countries comprising the G20 are those that are in the process of transforming into Masonic Nations.
With Sarkosy, Merkel and that ugly Portuguese guy who's President of the EU (The EU is also a member of the G20!) pushing for changes to employment laws (including the 65 hour working week that thankfully got blocked in the EU parliament), it looks like the G20 is the discussion table for how to impose a New Financial World Order (what I shall now refer to as the NFO - to many people have heard of NWO now, so they've obviously decided to re-brand!).

The NFO
The New Financial Order is the system being proposed as a reaction to the global financial crisis that's been created. If the banking system collapses, then capitalism will fall with it, so desperate measures need to be taken to protect banks and pay them YOUR TAX MONEY when they make bad investments. Imagine you go into a casino with 100 of my dollars, and you lose, and then you come back to me and tell me that I have to pay you 100 more otherwise you won't gamble with my money anymore! But that's what's happening with these banks that are being 'nationalised' - the state won't take full control, but they will give them billions of dollars to help them 'continue to operate'. NEWSFLASH - when a bank runs out of money, it just has to print more!!!!
Also, the EU wants us working 65 hours a week - and the no-vote won't stop it, they'll just rename it and sneak it through as part of another 'directive'.
The main purpose of the NFO is exactly the same as the old plan of the NWO - to get everyone under control. Yes. this might in part be with a microchip (it doesn't need implanting if your credit card is the only means of payment), but its also with the more general concept of DEBT. The Nobel Peace Prize people think that the Indian banker who invented 'micro-credit' is a saviour of the poor - but he's actually figured out a way of getting millions of unsuspecting Indians into debt. Okay, it might only be 1000 dollars of debt, but once your locked into the system, there's no getting out again.
The solution to all of this - clear your debts as quickly as possible, and only buy things you can afford!
