In case you haven’t heard, UK skeptic blogger “Tallbloke” has had his computers seized by Norfolk police looking for evidence of the intrepid “FOIA” leaker. Josh at Cartoons by Josh can always see humor, even when things look dark. He’s also provided a handy safety notice placard for posting in appropriate places.

Know we know why math, science and philosophy have been left out of American schooling and what history we do get has been rewritten by the “Ministry of truth”
With the trumped up daycare “Child Abuse” cases used to ram government control of day cares through Congress, do not be surprised to see the outlawing of home schooling too.

The Fells Acre investigation was supervised by the Middlesex County MA District Attorney’s office. Scott Harshbarger was District Attorney at the time, and has since used this case to further his political ambitions. Violet Amirault died in jail “Among her last words were, “Don’t vote for Scott Harshbarger.” http://mysite.verizon.net/vzex11z4/amirault.html
I am familiar with the Fells Acre case because my local papers covered it. What is not mentioned in the internet article is that later, some of the child witnesses came forward to admit they had lied on the witness stand due to pressure from the social workers, but this never made a difference or gain the release of these people. It made a big splash in the local papers but never went anywhere.
one of the comments above has me thiking,
Tallbloke I sure hope you haven’t been to denmark and chatted any sheilas up?
extradite you there and thence to usa.
“do an Assange” on you.
with the seriously warped minds running the place lately nothing would be beyond them trying

“It is indeed, the suspension of habeus corpus by Lincoln in 1861 and 1862 being a case in point. Resisting a lawful action by police with firearms is not a constitutional right however.”
Obeying a non-constitutional law in a police state
Serving a lawfully obtained warrant is not non-constitutional.
(I wasn’t aware we are currently in a declared state of war like Lincoln was)
There was no declaration of war by the Union.
eventually leads to promulgation of one non-constitutional law after non-constitutional law. These deviations are eventually recognized the electorate that something is horribly amiss and once a sufficient number decide to unseat a government that has become so authoritarian it may only be possible by reliance on firearms.
The suspension of habeas corpus by president Bush for aliens determined to be “unlawful enemy combatants” was passed by the US House and Senate in 2006. The US Senate recently rejected an attempt to proscribe the indefinite detention of US citizens. To quote Lindsey Graham on the subject “When they say, ‘I want my lawyer,’ you tell them: ‘Shut up. You don’t get a lawyer. You are an enemy combatant, and we are going to talk to you about why you joined Al Qaeda.’”
The current bill, H.R. 1540, also known as the National Defense Authorization Act which permits indefinite detention of US citizens, was passed by the House of Representatives by 283 – 136.

“Congress just this week passed a law allowing the President to waive habeus corpus and indefinitely detain American citizens, simply on the suspicion of having a connection with [undefined] “terrorists”. The connection does not have to be proven; it could simply be conversation at a cocktail party. The government does not have to disclose the basis for the detention, and the detainee does not have a right to counsel, and no judge may intervene.”
After 8 straight years of a daily leftist drone about how “BushHitler” was ravaging our “rights” under the Constitution, it has been wonderfully revealing to watch their chirping crickets reaction to the Obama administration’s almost daily efforts to make these supposed crimes, which under Bush were mostly fantastic exaggerations, into all to present realities.
The 227 Republicans who voted for this legislation are hardly the ‘Obama administration’.

“… Over the last quarter-century, historians have by and large ceased writing about the role of ruling elites in the country’s evolution. Or if they have taken up the subject, they have done so to argue against its salience for grasping the essentials of American political history. Yet there is something peculiar about this recent intellectual aversion, even if we accept as true the beliefs that democracy, social mobility, and economic dynamism have long inhibited the congealing of a ruling stratum. This aversion has coincided, after all, with one of the largest and fastest-growing disparities in the division of income and wealth in American history….Neglecting the powerful had not been characteristic of historical work before World War II. ”
Steve Fraser, Gary Gerstel (2005)
I read that Tallbloke has studied history and philosophy. Knowing the stories from history and ancient philosophers, one can come a being instead of a run growing, and recognition instead of emotion of any kind, power, religion or evolution. The Dear host here A.W. stands with his being with his WUWT for the truth; I bow for his standing.
Giordano Bruno says: “All the true philosophy is music or poetry and painting at the same time. True painting is music and philosophy at the same time. Maintain Poetry is a type of divine wisdom and painting.”
“Giordano Bruno is burned the Fiori lively at the 17.2.1600 on the Campo on the pyre. He said “With bigger fear announces ye maybe the judgment as I accept it.” An eyewitness reports about the execution: “Giordano Bruno looked pale and pale – apparently weakened from the blood loss, that he had suffered through the bygone tortures. His arms hung down lifelessly. One had torn them from the joints as one had woven him over the wheel. Not enough with it – the shocking torture tool had down-scraped the meat until on the bones at many places.” He remain himself and his philosophy loyal until into the death, and as one holds the sacred cross in front of him to the remorse, Bruno turns his Head hates to the side.”
Many scientist of today have forgotten that philosophy is the basis of science; not physics, not the number of papers.
Josh paintings are true philosophy.

you know you have ‘made it’ what ever IT is, when Josh dedicates a cartoon to you 🙂
Officer,I have a hard believing you when you say I’m “not a suspect” – when you creep up to my home in the dead of night.
Nice!
Josh, great and great. Delighted it made it to Delingpole.
I hope Anthony can post Fenbeagleblog here now – for Christmas.
Volker, you have said some beautiful words. It is only a pity that they are nearly lost in bad translation (?Google). They are worth repeating, and I’ll try to guess your meaning.
I read that Tallbloke studied history and philosophy. Knowing the stories from history and ancient philosophers, one grows in one’s inner being as much as in one’s outer doing, with simple awareness rather than excessive emotion of any kind, power, or religion. A.W., our dear host here, stands for the truth in WUWT with his whole being; I bow to his stature.
Giordano Bruno says: “All true philosophy is music, poetry and painting at the same time…”
Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake in the Campo de’ Fiori on 17.2.1600. He said “You announce your judgement with more fear than I feel as I accept it.” An eyewitness reports about the execution: “Giordano Bruno looked extremely pale – apparently weakened from the blood loss that he had suffered through earlier tortures. His arms hung down lifelessly. Something had torn them from their joints as he had been spun round a wheel. Not satisfied with that – the shocking torture tool had scraped the flesh down to the bones in many places.” He remains himself and loyal to his philosophy until his death, and as someone holds the sacred cross in front of him to let him acknowledge remorse, Bruno averts his eyes.

Volker, you have said some beautiful words. It is only a pity that they are nearly lost in bad translation (?Google). They are worth repeating, and I’ll try to guess your meaning. ….
Thank you Lucy, for that. I’m not well trained in your language. In my wordpress about I wrote: “Volker was born on 12. June 1943 at 1 h 30 DSZ in Ellwangen, Germany. Physics, astrology, water painting, music, poetry and the science of philosophy have filled my life. No High school. Some soul friends, most of them dead.” I have spend only nine years for a ‘Low school’ until 1958. It was important to me to speak some words. Freedom is neither to bye from ebay nor from amazon dot com; freedom IS either you, or you are the enemy, not the other. But it is ever doing the splits as guest between the subject of a thread and to argue about the whole one nature.
However, thanks again. I have done a pic to the subject.

To Anthony and Jeff Id,
I recall in 2005 or 2006 a priest somewhere in New England was successfully prosecuted under the Patriot Act for unintentionally deleting portions of a hard drive that the DoJ had requested be preserved. I don’t remember the facts of the case exactly, but I do remember that the case had nothing to do with terrorism.
The moral of the story is this, when a request has been made by ANY Federal Agency that you preserve electronic data in its original form…that you follow that request to the letter…probably best to remove the hard drives in question and go get new ones for your day to day activities. The way the Patriot Act is written, vaguely that is, its just not worth taking any chances.
