An Irish paedophile rights campaigner has been jailed in the UK today after a massive Aladdins Cave of child porn was found in a country mansion. The library of magazines, videos, photographs and slides nearly 50,000 images altogether was stored in a secret vault behind a bathroom wall. Well THAT'S fitting.
The collection, which took half a century to amass, was discovered after undercover police infiltrated the International Paedophile Child Emancipation Group and its subsidiary, Gentlemen With An Interesting Name. Both championed the legalisation of sex between adults and children. Irishman Thomas OCarroll (aged 61), a former teacher turned journalist, helped run them from his end-of-terrace home in Shildon, Co Durham, within half a mile of four schools According to police he saw them as a base for an international secret society of academic child abusers to further his twisted aims.

the International Paedophile Child Emancipation Group and its subsidiary, Gentlemen With An Interesting Name
What? International NAMBLA was taken? Nobody could think of anothr name for the "Gentlemen"? You know, something like Demonically Evil Pedophilic Pustulescent Piles of Excrement or even Men Seeking Boys For Buggery?
March this fellow out to the nearest field, put a bullet in his brain, then plow his sorry carcass under. It's the most worthwile thing he'll ever add to the planet.
I'll buy the bullet.

Surely there will be a fatwa forthcoming for that insult to Islam
Probably about the misappropriation of the name Alladin, no doubt.
In any case, it would be nice if there were a law saying it would be OK to raid the homes and computers of anyone belonging to one of these movements once a year at random to look for evidence of child pr0n. Wouldn't be long before they were all in jail and their bowel movements shut down. Maybe a year or so. :-)
A man was arrested in Phoenix on Sunday on suspicion of attacking a woman with a staple gun, police said. Officers responded to a report of screams coming from the back of a red and white box truck in the 4600 block of West Thomas Road. They stopped the vehicle, and a man who seemed to be in his late 20s emerged from the driver's side "covered in blood," police Lt. John White said.
While searching the truck, police found a barely conscious woman in her mid-20s who had been severely beaten in the face and attacked in the face, scalp, neck and shoulders with a staple gun. The staple gun was next to her in the truck. The woman was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center. She survived her injuries. The man was booked on charges of aggravated assault and kidnapping.
Yet another reason to stop smoking.``Where's grandma?''
``Anyone seen the moped?''
The answer to these two questions was found overnight in the bottom of a storm drain, where a 55-year-old woman had to be rescued by a team of Miami paramedics.
The woman, who was not identified, took her daughter's yellow scooter out for a spin about 11 p.m., fire rescue officials said. She left her house on Southwest 32nd Court and headed to a local convenience store, where she planned to buy a pack of cigarettes.
But as the woman tried to turn out of her driveway, she drove the scooter directly into an uncovered storm drain.
The four-foot-wide drain was surrounded by bright orange barricades, said Ignatius Carroll, a fire department spokesman. It had been under construction for weeks.
The woman and the moped became wedged in the hole -- roughly six feet under ground.
''It was actually a good thing that she got wedged like that,'' Carroll said. ``There is water at the bottom of that drain. If she fell much farther, she could have drowned.''
Frightened and bleeding from the head, the woman cried out for help. Two of her daughters and several neighbors ran outside to find her.
At first, they couldn't figure out where the screaming was coming from. But when they heard the woman's cries echo, they knew just where to look.
The first paramedics on the scene treated the woman inside the drain.
Rescue crews then used a fire truck ladder and a rope to remove her from the manhole. They used the same equipment to remove the yellow moped.
The woman was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital with bumps, bruises and possibly a broken arm.
Her daughter told reporters she shouldn't have been riding the scooter in the first place.
VANCOUVER, Wash. - Like a giant smokestack, percolating Mount St. Helens let loose a billowing steam plume easily seen Tuesday in downtown Portland, Ore., about 50 miles away.
Cold weather combined with the volcano's ongoing release of water vapor to make the display particularly impressive, scientists said. Mount St. Helens has been undergoing a low-key eruption since September 2004.
"You look at your industrial stacks around town and they're putting out nice vapor plumes today, as well," said volcanologist Willie Scott at the Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver, about 160 miles south of Seattle and 50 miles from the mountain.
The white plume emitting from the snowy peak could be seen clearly against a blue sky.
The vapor temperature was near the boiling point of water 212 degrees while temperatures at the mountain were around or below freezing, Scott said.
"The water vapor's condensing rapidly, and it's making a very attractive plume," said seismologist Bill Steele at a University of Washington lab that has been monitoring the peak with the observatory.
Vapor has been rising from the volcano since before it rumbled back to life more than two years ago, extruding lava into the crater created when the mountaintop blew off in May 1980, flattening forests for miles and killing 57 people.
Here's an interesting site which offers a "dashboard" of the best webcams on the 'Net. Mt St Helens is there, but since the cams are ordered based on popularity, you may hafta scroll to see it.. it was kinda darkish at the time I looked at 10:17PM, lol. It's purdy cool - and a keeper, methinks.
A primary school has been accused of spoiling Christmas for pupils after a lesson telling them that Santa Claus does not exist.
Children as young as nine were told that only 'small children believe in Father Christmas'.
And yesterday their parents criticised teachers for taking the 'magic' out of the festive period... Geez, when I was in 5th grade, I knew that there was no such thing as a good democrat President; and girls were starting to look good.

The parents do sound kind of whiny here, but check out this part:
[The "festive seasonal worksheet" outing Santa as a fraud] then went on to explain that thousands of letters sent by these children to Santa every year are actually answered by the Post Office.
The youngsters were then asked to write a pretend letter from the Post Office to a child explaining why their requests for presents had been refused.
The hell?
Dear Virginia,
Thank you for your request from gifts from SantaCorp. As you know, the receipt of gifts from Santa[TM] is predicated on the good behavior of the applicant throughout the previous calendar year. Unfortunately, a review of our records shows that your behavior has not met the standards required of gift recipients.
You have repeatedly refused to eat your vegetables, as instructed by your parents. On March 13, you copied the answers to a math test from your classmate Susie Anderson. On July 23, you poked your brother Billy in the nose when he said your new dress made you look "like a big blueberry". And we trust we need not go into your behavior with Jimmy Carruthers behind the bleachers after school on October 3.
Furthermore, as you are now ten years of age, this year would have been the last for which you would have qualified for gifts from Santa[TM], and therefore your relationship with our organization is hereby terminated.
We wish you every success in the future, although we strongly suggest that a modification in your behavior is necessary to ensure it.
The average Brit is £2,200 a year better off than Europeans because we kept the pound.
Figures show households here enjoy a far better standard of living than in Spain, France, Germany or Italy. Our purchasing power per head is £2,214 higher than the average of the other four major economies. And it is all because Britain did NOT join the euro, reports The Economists The World in 2007 dossier.
The findings are a vindication of The Suns Keep the Pound campaign.
Heh, neener, neener.
But incredibly the nations leading foreign policy experts, Chatham House, last night called for Britain to JOIN the euro, SCRAP border controls and snub the UNITED STATES.
Their advice flies in the face of a study by City experts Grant Thornton showing the UK has boomed while euro countries have nosedived since the launch of the single currency.
"No, no, NO! Do it over until you get the right result!"
The typical Brit is seven per cent better off than the French, 13 per cent above Germans, 16 per cent richer than Italians and 22 per cent more prosperous than Spaniards. Their countries have been locked into the same interest rate since 2001.
Chancellor Gordon Brown freed the Bank of England to fix UK rates free from political meddling in 1997 and blocked membership of the euro.
The UK will grow by around three per cent next year. Last night a spokesman for the Chancellor said: Back in 1997, we were dead last of the richer nations when it came to income per head. Now were up to second behind the United States.
Chatham House bosses said Britain needs to distance itself from the US after events in Iraq. They reported that we need to ditch the pound and drop our immigration policies to prove ourselves good Europeans. But Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said: This paper is threadbare, insubstantial and plain wrong.
Lol. Red Meat! Get yer Bangers here! Lol. Sheesh, facts never get in the way of Labour.

Think how much better off you would be if you were a United States colony.
Heh. At least then the citizens would have the right of self-defense and could protect themselves from thugs, robbers and miscreants without running afoul of the police. I'm guessing taxes would be lower, too.

England would be a blue State until they ate Mexican food. From that point it would be pickups, shotguns, NASCAR, and single-malt whiskey. And keep that Mexican food coming.
Violent clashes between two groups of Greek monks at a disputed monastery in Mount Athos left at least four monks in hospital, local police said.
Fighting reportedly broke out when monks loyal to the Orthodox Patriarch attempted to enter a monastery occupied by a rebel faction.
Four monks were hospitalised after the clash in which crowbars and fire extinguishers were used as weapons.
The rebel monks have ignored court and Church orders to leave the monastery.
Religious schism
Esphigmenou monastery has been the scene of a long-running dispute between Orthodox Church authorities and dissident monks who are bitterly opposed to the Orthodox Church's efforts to improve relations with the Roman Catholic Church.
The rebel monks view relations between the two churches as tantamount to heresy.
In the latest incident both sides blamed each other for provocation.
The rebel monks have been occupying the site since 2003 and have ignored eviction orders from both the Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew I and Greece's supreme court.
Mount Athos is one of the holiest sites in Orthodox Christianity.
In October a Greek court gave two-year suspended custodial sentences to nine Esphigmenou monks for continuing their illegal occupation of the monastery.
Norway tackles toxic war grave
Robotic excavations have found some of the canisters of mercury It was not quite the deadly legacy the Germans had in mind when they deployed a U-boat on a daring mission to Japan in the last desperate months of World War II.
When it set sail in December 1944, U-864 was packed with 65 tonnes of weapons-grade mercury destined to help the Japanese win back supremacy over the US in the Pacific - and divert American attention away from Europe in the process.
Neither the cargo nor the 73 men on board made it. The U-boat was torpedoed to the bottom of the North Sea floor by a British submarine. More than 60 years on, its toxic cargo is slowly leaking into the waters off the coast of Norway, an ecological time bomb threatening marine - and potentially human - life.

With several of our Los Angeles-class boomers coming to the end of their military lives, I thought it was unfortunate that they are going to be decommissioned.
Such boats would be tremendously useful as "loud submarines" for non-military missions, both scientific exploration and oceanic toxic waste recovery-or-entombment.
With all classified systems replaced with ordinary navigation equipment, and the boat modified to be somewhat noisy and slow, it could seek out dangerous nuclear and chemical waste dumped at sea. Because the boat has to carry a huge number of lead bricks for ballast, shielding for nuclear materials would be no problem.
Even a special hatch could be built into the bottom of the boat to haul up such material; or, if it could not be safely recovered, to pump enormous amounts of underwater concrete over it, sealing it up. Several of the underwater toxic waste dumps are a major threat to both fishing and coastlines, and need to be taken care of.
If this sounds a bit like "Sea-View", consider the amazing things the Glomar Explorer did for US national security.

...If at all possible, let these men rest. They were unkowingly sent out on a suicide mission (and the vast majority of the U-waffe weren't strong Nazis, just men who believed they were serving their country)and they never really had a chance.
BTW, no such thing as 'weapons-grade' mercury - wonder if they are trying to somehow connect this with the 'red mercury' myth of a few years ago. More than likely the stuff is perfectly safe on the seabed - trying to seal it up with 'a special type of gravel' would probably do more harm than good. Mark it, patrol it, and leave it alone.

Los Angeles class submarines are NOT boomers. They're Fast Attack boats designed to hunt enemy boomers.
The U.S. Fleet Ballistic Missle Submarines (boomer) are Ohio class. That is all. Carry on.

Good grief! I should have read the rest of your dribblings before I responded to the erroneous class designation. Ah, well, a fisking is in order.
Such boats would be tremendously useful as "loud submarines" for non-military missions, both scientific exploration and oceanic toxic waste recovery-or-entombment.
I'll have some of whatever you're having, the high must be great!
With all classified systems replaced with ordinary navigation equipment,...
Who makes "ordinary navigation equipment" suitable for navigating a submarine the likes of a Los Angeles class boat? Just askin'!
Even a special hatch could be built into the bottom of the boat to haul up such material; or, if it could not be safely recovered, to pump enormous amounts of underwater concrete over it, sealing it up.
Uh huh. So, you want to cut a hole in an end-of-life hull and submerge with it? Be my guest. Oh, have you ever been inside a Los Angeles class submarine? I would guess not, if you had you would realize there is NO PLACE to put "enormous amounts" of concrete...waterproof or not.
If this sounds a bit like "Sea-View", consider the amazing things the Glomar Explorer did for US national security.
It sounds like "Sea-View" and Jonny Quest all rolled up together. What, next you were going to suggest they hire Race Bannon...right? The Glomar Explorer was a purpose built ship for the sole mission of recovering a Russian sub from the bottom of the sea.
Beyond that mission, and it's somewhat dubious contribution to Nation Security compared to its cost, just what else has it done? In terms of contributing to National Security that is?

But it will also seal up what is the watery grave of 73 men.
One of them was 18-year-old Willi Transier, who had just asked Edith Wetzler to marry him before he set off on a mission he suspected he might never return from.
"It still hurts," says Mrs Wetzler, who is now 84.
Oh fer cryin out loud! What limp wiener writes this stuff. The guys have been dead for over 60 years. So their grave goes a little bit deeper. WHO FREAKIN CARES!!!! They sure don't.
I really hate the BBC.

Our warships are too hi-techy = risque' to allow into unfriendly hands, directly or roundabout thru our Allies, so our USN prefers to sink 'em instead of placing in naval reserve. Warships barely 20 years old, or in the alt could serve many more decades, are now fish-food = reefs.
NEW YORK - Two 25-ton steel columns one bearing signatures of American steelworkers who helped make it rose at ground zero Tuesday, a milestone in prolonged efforts to build the skyscraper that will replace the twin towers of the World Trade Center.
As construction workers, politicians and architects applauded, a massive crane lifted the first 31-foot-high column, which was painted with an American flag and the words "Freedom Tower," and set it over steel bars on the southern edge of the tower's base.
A second column set a few feet away carried the signatures of steelworkers and politicians from Virginia, where it spent time at a steel company before being shipped to New York. A third column lay on its side, plastered with signatures of New Yorkers and Sept. 11 victims' relatives as well as pictures of some firefighters killed in the 2001 attack. It will be installed in the next few days.
By next spring, 27 of the jumbo steel columns to anchor the skyscraper are expected to rise to street level about 70 feet from the bottom of ground zero. The 1,776-foot tower, set to open in 2011, is to be the tallest of the five skyscrapers planned to replace the trade center.
"Today the steel rises, the Freedom Tower rises from the ashes of Sept. 11, and the people of New York and the people of America can be proud," Gov. George Pataki said.
"Rising from the heart of the World Trade Center site, the Freedom Tower will symbolize the spirit of our city and our nation: inspiring, soaring and undefeated," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
Lengthy negotiations over who would build the tower and security concerns have delayed the project. The tower has had more than one design and groundbreaking; politicians laid a granite cornerstone in July 2004 to begin construction, but had to move the building after city police said it was too close to traffic, making it vulnerable to terrorism. Construction began again this spring, after the site's owner renegotiated its lease with a private developer and took over construction.

I'd rather our spirit show up in our commitment to win in Iraq and against islamofascism.

I am allergic to eggs and milk so the only cookies I can eat are Oreo's. They are made totally out of chemicals and other stuff. These folks would love to ban the only cookie I can eat. Them's fighting words.

As somebody pointed out a while back, even those kosher food can be terribly bad for you, the CSPI will never, ever criticize it. This is because most of their funding comes from ultra-leftist Jews.

Just check the Census data for each decade for the last 100 years. Americans are living longer and healthier than ever before while comsuming all this terrible food. CSPI is a grant whore, who like their friends and agents in the MSM, only exist to scare people to death. Hollyweird makes mounds of money churning out horror movies. These outfits make a living churing out gloom and doom as well.
