PRIVATE EYE AND JERSEYGATE:
The Beginning of The End?
Private Eye magazine has published an article concerning events in Jersey. They examine one of the things that I exposed – and the consequent actions taken against me by what they describe as “the intensely political system of justice in Jersey”. Click on the image to make the article expand to a readable size.
Even though you’re able to read that particular article here, taken from the current edition, I urge people to buy Private Eye. Not only is it often very funny – it is the journal to read if you want to understand what’s really going on in the dark underbelly of power in Britain.
Whether they open its pages in pleasure – or fear – everyone in the country who is seriously involved in politics or the media reads Private Eye.
That means it is a main source of hard-core information for everyone who has power over you.
The article is short – eight paragraphs; but what do those few elements mean?
How to understand the gravity of what is revealed?
Not all readers will be familiar with the true nature of ‘Politics’ – just as many readers won’t be familiar with the wholly corrupted power-structure of the British Channel Island of Jersey; a tiny island through which hundreds of billions of dollars pass each year – and in which there is no separation of powers – no independent judiciary - no checks and balances – and not even an independent prosecution system. Although situated in the seemingly “respectable” heart of Western Europe, this island – an off-shore “protectorate” of the British establishment in London – is virtually totally lawless.
In the coming months – just how lawless – is going to be revealed.
But perhaps you don’t want to wait that long? Perhaps you want to know the score – truly “understand” the situation - right now?
OK - I’m going to tell you a story.
Or rather – Wikipedia is going to recount some modern history to you.
I reproduce below some sections of the Wikipedia entry for the Watergate scandal.
As you read the quotes – I invite you to bear in mind certain key words and phrases that Watergate has in common with Jerseygate. For any thinking person – it’s all here; all you need to know:
Democracy.
Democratic sabotage.
Cover-up.
Money.
Election.
Re-election.
Breaking and entering.
Documents photographed.
Theft.
Bugging.
Wiretaps.
Attorney General.
Corruption.
Denial of involvement.
Slush-fund.
Tip of the iceberg.
Reporters.
Information.
Solicitor General.
Interception of communications.
Funds.
Unauthorized and improper.
Fiduciary responsibility.
Criminal.
Lobbyists.
Lieutenant governor.
Government officials.
Finance Director.
Deep Throat.
Secret fund.
Accounts.
Bank records.
Malfeasance.
Blackmail.
Hush money.
Obstruction of justice.
Secret deals.
Lawyers.
Redacted.
Perjury.
Abuse of power.
Refusal to disclose evidence.
Conspirators.
Jail.
It isn’t only those words that Watergate and Jerseygate share; the parallels between the two criminal enterprises are remarkable; extraordinarily close. Save for a few, key, differences.

News about our CCO
20 June 2013
The increasing public scrutiny over our CCO’s former role at CQC has made it impossible for her to continue with her role and responsibilities at Nominet.
With regret, we felt it necessary to terminate Jill Finney’s employment with immediate effect. Ms Finney will be paid one month’s salary in lieu of notice.

Nominet UK is the .uk domain name registry in the United Kingdom, which was founded by Dr Willie Black and five others on 14 May 1996 when its predecessor, the "Naming Committee" was unable to deal with the volume of registrations then being sought under the .uk domain. Nominet is a non-profit company limited by guarantee. It has members who act as shareholders, but without the right to participate in the profits of the company. Anyone can become a member, but most members are internet service providers who are also registrars. As one of the first professional ccTLD operators, Nominet became the model for many other operators worldwide.
Unlike the model for gTLDs and ccTLDs in some other countries, by and large, customers wishing to register a domain do not approach Nominet directly, but register the domain via a registrar. This is an organisation that is authorised by Nominet to register and update domains on behalf of customers, and that has provided a PGP public key to enable Nominet to authenticate communications from them. Registrars were formerly known as "tagholders".
As of March 2012, the .uk register held 10,000,000 .uk domain names[1] making it the second largest [2] ccTLD in the world. Nominet also deals with disputes about registrations of .uk domain names, via its Dispute Resolution Service (DRS)[3]which is similar to the UDRP system used for generic Top Level Domain Names, but with certain innovations such as a free mediation service.
Nominet, which operates the .uk domain and is soon to start operating the UK ENUM registry, has launched a charitable foundation,[4] the Nominet Trust. Nominet has been running up a surplus (profit) on its ordinary operations since 2003; since its constitution forbids it from distributing surplus funds to members in the manner of a commercial company paying dividends, it is now looking at charitable activities as a means of running down the money mountain.
In September 2008, Nominet's board made an initial donation of £5m to its charitable offshoot,[5] which will support "education, research and the funding of suitable projects for the benefit of UK Internet stakeholders". Further donations have been made since this date.
Products [edit]
In November 2010, Nominet launched an independent educational website to help people stay safe, do more and drive business online - www.knowthenet.org.uk. The site enables both users of the internet and website publishers to understand how to remain safe, operate within legal requirements and to remain informed of current issues and risks.
It provides reliable information and advice on web-related issues.These range from the most prevalent and common internet scams and fraud to the latest computer viruses, security issues and matters of online child safety. It also features definitions of web-related terms in a jargon buster and practical self-tests to assess an individual’s likelihood to fall victim to scams and other internet-related threats.
History [edit]
Most countries have their own Top Level Domain. The .uk TLD was first used in 1985,[6] and at that time a voluntary group called the "Naming Committee" managed the registration of .uk domain names. This consisted of members of LINX as full members (the main ISPs in the UK), and their resellers as guest members. By the early 1990s, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who registered domains for their customers were joined by a new breed of domain name specialists who had an entrepreneurial attitude to domain names. The Naming Committee operated a ruleset that forced all name registrations to 'exactly' match the name of the registering company and also limited all companies to a single domain name. Although such rules were not exceptional for the time (Network Solutions operated a similar policy), the growth of a commercial internet soon brought these restrictions into close focus. As demand for domain name registrations grew, it became clear that a voluntary group could no longer cope with the volume of registrations being requested. It also became clear that the existing ruleset was not sustainable and the Naming Committee was going to break down under pressure of registrations.
Birth of Nominet [edit]
When it became clear that a new organisation with a new approach was needed to manage the .uk TLD. The Naming Committee mailing list had mutated into a discussion group for domain name issues and many discussions about what type of corporation the Registry should be were held. Meanwhile, at UKERNA, Dr Willie Black and John Carey, were watching the situation and in 1996 John Carey wrote a proposed plan for a new organisation to be called Nominet. This was distributed widely, and the first Nominet meeting was held at a hotel at Heathrow Airport on 11 April 1996.
The options to set up as a profit-making company or a charity were rejected, and Nominet was established on 14 May 1996 as a private, not-for-profit membership company, limited by guarantee.[7] Whilst the move was generally popular, there was strong resistance from some parts of the industry.[8] Although formed with a board composed of Willie Black (who became the first CEO of the new company), John Carey and the four co-founders drawn from the internet industry,[9] elections were held by the new membership which resulted in the first elected board members to oversee the growth of the UK domain name industry.
Registration issues [edit]
Pre-Nominet domain names [edit]
Moving domains to the newly formed company registrants of existing domains were invited to agree to Nominet's new terms and conditions. There were several complaints from pre-Nominet domain owners objecting to the need to start paying for something that was previously free.[citation needed]
Many pre-Nominet domain names had little or no contact information, as a result it has been hard to work out ownership of the domain names[citation needed]. Nominet are running an internal project (the PreNom project) to clear out the remaining pre Nominet domain names so by the end all domain names would be under the new Nominet terms and conditions[citation needed].
Legal issues [edit]
Nominet soon realised it had to work hard to protect both the information it held and the legal position of intellectual property and brand owners[citation needed].
Structural issues [edit]
Nominet's success brought with it a number of structural concerns. Over time, it built considerable cash reserves. In 1999, candidates stood for the board on platform similar to 'carpet bagging' attempts with mutual building societies;[10] whilst this was roundly defeated, controversy over its cash reserves remained.
Second-level domains managed by Nominet [edit]

Well, doctors are SUPPOSED to be only interested professionally in one thing, and that is healing people, wether that is healing of the body or of the mind, that is what they are SUPPOSED to do, that is their job.
So if they are not healing people, but instead using their authority to cover up things that wicked people have done, they aren't even proper doctors and should be charged for fraud.
Thats what I think at any rate
this has been of interest to me for some time and aspects of these were covered in last weeks moshe solomons show, also were that jimmy saville was protected by mossad , along with other pedos.
this was the best show since acedemics on there proved the holocaust never happened

about 10 years back a postman working in Kings Lynn,a small Norfolk town, went public about the huge amount of porn going through the mail system, they threatened to send him to prison for breaking the official secrets act, he showed large amounts of homosexual porn featured underage young boys, and the royal mail was making huge sums by accepting this through the mail system,
the law said homosexual porn was ok, he was hounded and lost his job over it all.
