The Guardian Blames ?Climate Breakdown? for Burkina Faso?s Dire Healthcare System Mon Aug 25, 2025 19:20 | Western Missionary
The Guardian has been caught blaming "climate breakdown" for the dire state of Burkina Faso's healthcare system. Nothing to do with the rampant poverty, instability and terrorism, then.

Heathrow is giving a new option to passangers travelling to selected destinations. These passangers if they 'volunteer' to have their fingerprints, eyes and faces biometrically scanned, will be fastracked through security.
British minister for immigration Liam Byrne says, "Biometric ID systems are fundamental to securing our borders in a more mobile age. they are crucial for counting everyone in and out of the country."
This Biometric service is called miSense http://www.misense.org
One of the companies responsible for the development of miSense is Ratheon, or as it is more commonly known, Raytheon.

Since Michael Mc Dowell seems intent on colluding in all types of globalisation
with his very best friends Peter Hain and John Redi- maybe Irish readers
would be interested in the anti-id campaign in Britain. The link is:
http://www.no2id.net/index.php
The Irish 'Justice' minister is introducing biometric ID's for the immigrant
community as part of his Immigration, Residence and Protection bill- to be
followed, no doubt by giving them to the poor.
Other joys include- the increase of stop and search powers of the British Police.
There really is little difference in globalised politics....

Allow me to re-muse my earlier point. I didn't go into great detail as the topic matter is very current and is in the public domain.
I said that new Irish passports are 'chipped' and that they contain many 'dormant' facilities, including the ability to retain fingerprint data. It is my opinion that these dormant facilities are soon to be made active, what with the folks at Heathrow collecting and using biometric data, like fingerprints. This is known as setting a 'precedent.' And moves out of the realm of 'unsubstantiated' musings.
Dermot Ahern said this on the 8th of December this year: "While the new biometric passport will look much the same as its predecessor, it will have a microchip embedded in it which contains the digitised facial image and personal details of the passport holder as they appear on the data page. The microchip can be read electronically at border controls. The Government has no plans, at this stage, to include a citizen's finger prints." http://foreignaffairs.gov.ie/services/passports/ePasspo...s.asp
"The Government has no plans, at this stage, to include a citizen's finger prints."
What part of that sentence do you not understand? You seem to imply that the goverenment is secretly going to include fingerprints. Why not take a constitutional case on it?
"The Government has no plans, at this stage, to include a citizen's finger prints."
i.e; they have and they will.
The governments of Ireland and UK are concerned in co-operating across a wide
range of issues that benefit no-one except their corporate backers. They pay
billions for study groups/ technology developers/mainstream media exposure.
Then the hackers turn their voting machines into chess games and their biometric
id's into the laughing stock of the globe- BUT, the thing is this people buy the
fear message- the terrorism message and allow erosion of civil liberties.
Fund the hackers and resist the fortress Europe homogenisation of civil liberties
propounded in Ireland by FG/PD. it is also an example of why independent press
is so important- in Ireland it is agendified and masculinist. - censorship abounds.
