Miscellaneous Items.

One or two things caught my attention in the last few days. I will start with a criticism of  the Sunday broadsheet, Scotland on Sunday, which I read every week. It has seriously blotted it's copybook, in my opinion, by the omission in it's article on the upcoming US presidential campaign, written by Matt Williams in New York, of any mention of Ron Paul. This man has been in the top two or three of just about every poll relating to the republican nomination for president. To be fair, it is not alone in ignoring Ron Paul. The mainstream media in general have to a large extent, ignored him also. Well, ignore him at your peril. If I lived in the US, I would be voting for him.
Next on the agenda is the continuing occupy wall street protest. It is still being ignored by the likes of the BBC, even though there are rumors of a similar style protest being organised in this country. Watch this space.
The row in the Scottish Conservative Party is providing a little light relief from the economic debacle. Murdo Fraser wants to form a new party here in Scotland. I wonder if he is trying to get prepared for our possible independence. Does he know something we don't?  As far as Labour are concerned, Miliband couldn't even remember all three names of the candidates for  Scottish Labour's leadership election. Says it all really.
The assassination of Anwar Al Awlaki in Yemen has opened a real can of worms in the US. The killing of an American citizen by Obama, he signed the order, without going through due process of law, is causing a storm in the alternative, and even some of the mainstream media. He has set a dangerous precedent, and it is even rumoured that the CIA have compiled a hit list of people earmarked for the same treatment, a lot of them, US citizens.
Staying with the US, there are rumblings from certain sources that have outlined the scenario of next years elections being cancelled due to, either the continuing economic crisis or even a proposed terrorist attack (false flag) One to follow.
Ever since it was leaked that google were keeping a database of everyone's online activity, and selling the information to marketing companies, I have seen my spam folder bulging at the seams. It is an absolute disgrace and should be stopped. Who else are they giving the info to? MI5/6 the CIA?
That's all for now.
