Fire in the CMO hole!

This is the letter written by the medical student who was recruited as an adviser to MMC, here is the damning letter he has written to the CMO on 31/3/2007, I'll let the letter do the talking:"Dear Professor Sir Liam Donaldson,I recently resigned as medical student advisor to MMC.Despite claims from the health minister that the new Foundation Programme has ‘widely been acknowledged as a success’

Another bomb dropped on MMC headquarters

This is a letter sent by the ex-medical student adviser to MMC to Alan Crockard on 18/3/2007."Dear Alan,I am sorry to inform you at what must be an impossibly busy time that I wish to resign from my position as medical student advisor.When I took the position I had many reservations with the MMC systems but believed that I would be able to help students get the best deal from these changes.

My Meaning of Relationship

Today I learn the meaning about relationship.
Since I was a little boy, I learn that I need to work hard to earn a lot of money. With a lot of money, I am surely will make my family happy.
I can buy them a lot of clothes, expensive cars, big house, delicious food, and etc.

But today, I learn the meaning about relationship.
I learn that relationship means connection, so we are connected to others people.
I learn that it is not money that make us happy with our relationship or make a happy family.
The true happiness came from how much time that we spent with our family, with our loved one.

Money only tools to improve our lifestyle quality, but the time that we spent with our family are the most important of all.
I agree when people say “money is not everything; it cannot buy friends, love, or happiness.” I agree, but like I said, with money we can have a better life, relationship and do a lot more charity.

So it's not the money that evil, but the people.

Thus, the most important is our life with our family, our loved one. Spent more time with them and treasure them more than anything in the world, especially from MONEY.
Moneys blind people’s heart.
Be a master of your life and not a slave.
Always remember Be A Millionaire with a Big Heart that always help others. I believe that all we have in this world is a give from God. In second He can take it all. Like how he ruined The Tower of Babel (Genesis Chapter 11).

Ps: Open your eyes, Open your ears, and Open your heart. Learn from your life, everyday.

Regards,

Ferdy D.Savio

The remedy

Remedy is a non-political group that was recently started by a small group of junior doctors who were frustrated at prescribed government health service reform. The big news today is that Remedy has launched a legal challenge to MTAS. Other bigger organisations have lacked the courage to speak out vociferously against this unjust process, and Remedy has showed it has the courage that others

Come down from the trees

The CMO published another long winded report in 2006 on the topic of medical regulation. In a rather typical fashion he pretended that he was doing it all in the name of 'patient safety', however to the astute observer his report was a yet another in a long line of vicious assaults on the autonomy of the medical profession. The CMO's proposals unsurprisingly increased the government's grip on the

Crockard resigns

The news that everyone knew was coming is out, Professor Alan Crockard has resigned. Here is an extract from his resignation speech:'Manifestly, specialty training is an order of magnitude more complex than Foundation, but it became obvious that the MMC team¹s expertise was less used in planning of specialty rollout.''From my point of view, this project has lacked clear leadership from the top

The House of 1000 Mirrors

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

Leaked proof of MTAS failures

This leaked document has been brought to my attention. It is written by the postgraduate Dean of the West Midlands Deanery, this is the deanery where a group of surgical consultants withdrew from the interviewing process for ethical reasons concerning the complete failure of MTAS. The Dean is also a board member of PMETB, a board that is largely appointed by the secretary of state for health-

'Greedy' GPs, now 'Greedy' dentists

The government seems very keen to blame it's own failings on those who deliver frontline care in the NHS. Dr Crippen has already touched on Labour's massive failings with NHS dentistry, remember in 1999 when that honest chap Tony Blair promised everyone would have access to an NHS dentist within 2 years; well guess what, it's eight years down the track, and two million people are still waiting.

Brilliant program

This 'analysis' report on honest statistics and their importance in driving improvement is spot on from BBC Radio 4."This government, when it came in in 1997, threw itself into targets in a far too hurried way, so it was actually setting itself targets using data that didn't exist.

Ridiculous fudged MTAS wheeled forward

The latest on MTAS is nothing short of a disgrace. There is another fudge of the process and a letter from Alan Crockard.The latest absurd modifications to MTAS insinuate that all applicants will get their first choice interview, however that is it. If candidates have already been interviewed for their first choice with a different interview structure then this is going to be unfairly compared

What a fantastic event and what a show of unity against our pathetic government.

Evidence of Advanced Fusion Devices at the WTC

The evidence is quite compelling, as abhorrent as the idea may be:

1. Pulverization of 99% of concrete into ultra fine dust as recorded by official studies. Concrete dust was created instantly throughout the towers when the fusion device million degree heat rapidly expanded water vapour 1000-fold in the concrete floors.

2. Superheated steels ablating (vaporizing continuously as they fall) as seen in video clips of the towers collapsing. This requires uniform temperatures roughly twice that of thermite. Conventional demolition or explosive charges (thermate, rdx, hdx etc.) cannot transfer heath so rapidly that the steel goes above it's boiling temperature.

3. 22 ton outer wall steel sections ejected 200 meters into the winter garden. Cutting charges cannot eject heavy steels and throwing charges cannot provide the energy required without heavy, solid surface mounts.

4. 330 ton section of outer wall columns ripping off side of tower. Cutting charges cannot eject heavy steels linked together and throwing charges cannot provide the energy required without very heavy, solid surfaces to mount those charges.

5. Molten ponds of steel at the bottom of elevator shafts (WTC1, WTC2, WTC7). Massive heat loads have been present at the lower parts of these high-rise buildings. As one of the witnesses after seeing the flow of metals declared: "no one will be found alive".

6. The spire behaviour (stands for 20-30 seconds, evaporates and goes down, steel dust remains in the air where the spire was). The spire did not stand because it lost its durability when the joints vaporized.

7. Sharp spikes in seismograph readings (Richter 2.1 and 2.3) occurred at the beginning of collapse for both towers. Short duration and high power indicate an explosive event.

8. A press weighting 50 tons disappeared from a basement floor of Twin Towers and was never recovered from debris. Not possible with collapses or controlled demolitions. The press was vaporized or melted totally.

9. Bone dust cloud around the WTC. This was found not until spring 2006 from the Deutsche Bank building. (In excess of 700 human remains found on the roof and from air vents). See http://www.911citizenswatch.org/print.php?sid=906

10. Fires took 100 days to extinguish despite continuous spraying of water. Thermate would burn out totally and then cool down much faster, just in a few days. This long cooling time means the total heath load being absorbed into the steels of the WTC was massive, far in excess anything found in collapses or typical controlled demolitions
11. Brown shades of color in the air due nuclear radiation forming NO2, NO3 and nitric acid. TV and documentary footage changed the color balance to blue to disguise this fact indicating complicity in the coverup.

12. Elevated Tritium values measured in the WTC area but not elsewhere in New York. Official studies stated that 8 EXIT signs from two commercial Boeing jets were responsible. The tritium in those EXIT signs is insufficient to explain the measurements (very little tritium is available for measuring after evaporation into air as hydrogen and as tritiated water vapour. This can provide conclusive proof of fusion devices and therefore US/Israeli military involvement.

13. Pyroclastic flow observed in the concrete-based clouds. Only found with volcanic eruptions and nuclear detonations. The explosion squibs cool down just a few milliseconds after the explosion or after having reached some 10 meters in the air. Pyroclastic flow will not mix with other clouds meaning very serious heath in those clouds not possible with the conventional demolition or explosive charges. The pyroclastic clouds were cooling down at the WTC but this process took some 30 seconds. See http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1381525012075538113

14. Huge expanding dust clouds 5 times the volume of the building indicating extreme levels of heat generated far in excess of traditional demolition explosives.

15. Rubble height was some 10% of the original instead of 33% expected in a traditional demolition. Fusion device removal of underground central steel framework allowed upper framework to fall into this empty space and reduce the rubble height.

16. No survivors found, except some firefighters in one corner pocket in the rubble who looked up to see blue sky above them instead of being crushed by collapsing debris. Upward fusion flashlight-like beam of destruction missed this pocket but removed debris above those lucky firemen.

17. 14 rescue dogs and some rescue workers died far too soon afterward to be attributed to asbestos or dust toxins (respiratory problems due to alpha and tritium particles created by fusion are far more toxic)

18. Record concentrations of near-atomic size metal particles found in dust studies due to ablated steel. Only possible with vaporized (boiling) steels.

19. Decontamination procedure used at Ground Zero (hi-pressure water spraying) for all steel removed from site. Water spraying contains fusion radioactivity.

20. No bodies, furniture or computers found in the rubble, but intact sheets of paper covered the streets with fine dust. Items with significant mass absorbed fusion energy (neutrons, x-rays) and were vaporized while paper did not. Paper and powder theory.

21. 200 000 gallon sprinkler water tanks on the roofs of WTC1 and WTC2, but no water in the ruins. Heat of fusion devices vaporized large reservoirs of water.

22. Reports of cars exploding around the WTC and many burned out wrecks could be seen that had not been hit by debris. Fusion energy (heath radiation and the neutrons) caused cars to ignite and burn far from WTC site.

23. Wide area electrical outage, repairs took over 3 months. Fusion devices cause EM pulse with Compton scattering. See German engineers help the USA plate 5. http://home.debitel.net/user/andreas.bunkahle/defaulte.htm

24. EM pulse was recorded by broadcast cameras with high quality electronic circuitry. This occurred at the same time as the seismic peaks recorded by Lamont Doherty during the beginning of the collapse. This is due to the Compton Effect and resulted in a large area power outage at the WTC.

The wounded MTAS beast is wheeled forward

How deeply flawed, corrupt and lame must a policy be for the DOH to scrap it? Stupid question. They won't scrap anything that they create; if the DOH had made the Titanic, then they would still be talking up its chances of rising from the ocean to set sail once more! I do not exaggerate. MTAS is at the bottom of the ocean, it is disintegrating before our very eyes; yet the DOH have not yet

Ground Zero: The Nuclear Demolition of The World Trade Centre?

"Incontrovertible Proof that the World Trade Centre was destroyed by Underground Nuclear Explosions"

I don't know where the actual paper is, the PDF link isn't working.

Here is an excerpt:

On the 11th September 2001 at 09:59 and 10:28 EDT, two enormous explosions pulverised to dust the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in New York. The 400 metre high towers disintegrated in a volcanic eruption of dust and rubble before the eyes of the entire world. The buildings were “smulched into a smouldering pit” where temperatures remained so hot that soil, concrete and glass continued to
be vaporised for over 6 weeks. Never before or since in the history of modern construction has a steel framed building collapsed due to a fire. In the aftermath of the collapse, a team of US Geological Survey scientists collected samples of dust from 35 locations in Lower Manhattan where it came to rest from the enormous pyroclastic dust cloud that enveloped the city. In the dust, they found high levels of chemical elements that had no business being there. Extremely rare and toxic elements. Elements such as Barium, Strontium, Thorium, Cerium, Lanthanum, Yttrium. Even some elements that only exist in radioactive form. These elements are forensic evidence of the event that caused the disintegration of the towers. They form a distinctive hallmark and signature of a certain well known chemical process.
Nuclear Fission.
What was the enormous source of energy that caused the destruction of the WTC? It was not a few thousand gallons of jet fuel. It was not even a few thousand pounds of conventional explosives. It was a Nuclear Explosion. Two Nuclear Explosions.
But even more than that, these were not just atomic bombs. The explosions were caused by the deliberate core meltdown of two clandestine nuclear reactors buried deep beneath the towers.

The true perpetrators of this heinous act of terrorism must be brought to justice. Lest we forget, not one person has yet been held to account for their involvement in this act. Not only were 3,000 people vaporised that day - thousands of others were subjected to intense radioactive fallout and the entire population of New York is being callously used as unwitting guinea pigs in a massive radiation exposure “experiment”. The existence of these crimes against humanity and the planet must be
exposed and the real perpetrators apprehended. New York, 9/11/01 was just one in a sequence of these deliberate radiation exposure crimes. Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq have all been heavily contaminated with Depleted Uranium weaponry. The very genetic future of the peoples of these regions is under attack and in some cases destroyed.
Where will be the next target of this Nuclear Madness if they are not stopped?
