It is being claimed that the suicide bomber who tried to take out the Saudi prince in charge of Anti-Terrorism had the device concealed within his body and that the bomb was remotely detonated by cell phone.
We are, therefore, now being told by security experts that, as such bombs “cannot be detected by the metal detectors at airports” – one of the experts' words – checks at airports and main railway terminals will have to be stricter and more rigorous still. I must say that I was not aware that the metal detectors at airports and such can even detect any IEDs. They sure could not until recently when I looked last.
This need for even stricter controls, so we are told, will mean that travelers will have to get tot he airports and even railway terminals well before departure and in the case or air travels, more than likely three or more instead of the current two hours before their flight will depart to check in and go through the security checks.
I may be paranoid but the “threat of terrorism” combined with the “combating of climate change” is beginning to look to me like an all too convenient way of people control.
If you cannot persuade ordinary people to stop flying – abroad and internally – by scaring them with CO2 emissions heating up the planet then make it as difficult as possible in the hope that they then won't want to fly.
But then this may just be the way it begins to appear to me.
While I have no problem with climate change being real and happening, for happening it indeed it, and certainly am no friend of flying or the motorcar, I have serious problems with it being (entirely) cause by human activities and cow farts. Human activities certainly may have sped things up but...
Pollution, on the other hand, is cause by man, as is soil depletion, overuse of water, overfishing of seas and other bodies of water, etc. and this is causing really havoc and could lead to the survival of the human race being seriously threatened.
Remember: The environment will survive but will we.
Or, if we, the human race that is, do survive will the Earth be one that we would want to live upon and even one we actually still can live upon proper.
The more likely scenario would be that we could no longer live on this Planet as there would be no longer enough if any potable water, there could be a soil that is totally depleted of goodness and no more game and fish for food to be had either.
The biggest challenge faced by mankind today is not climate change, especially not if we cannot influence the outcome, as I believe that we cannot, but the way we destroy, yes, destroy, the Planet by our actions, be this by pollution, by over-pumping of aquifers, overfishing the waters (oceans and others) and the destruction of forests, habitat and soil.
We must reverse that and do that now!
The CO2 reduction issue may or may not stop the changing climate but we can do a lot more by treading more lightly, much more lightly, on the Planet and reducing pollution to a level like some centuries back by reverting back to some old and tested methods.
But, I once again digressed somewhat.
We were talking about government people control and the question is as to whether those efforts of people control really come from our (elected) governments or, in fact, something unseen behind them.
Who are the powers behind the throne, the real powers-that-be, that is the question.
I do know that some of my writings and musings must sound like conspiracy theories to many and I also know that they go against the grain of the accepted line but I like to make people think and to think for themselves rather than regurgitating, for lack of a better word to hand, the lines and lies fed to them by the media, politicians and (religious) leaders.
It is rather sad to see that some folks do not seem to be able to think for themselves, and this is equally true when it comes to the climate change agenda, the war on terror or religious subjects. But, I better stop here before I get carried away on the religious bit.
So, please, dear readers, think for yourselves for once and look at the facts, from all sides.
