BS: Geo W 'death threats'

Subject: Geo W 'death threats'
From: Steve Parkes

Don't try this at home, kids! From the UK Express & Star newspaper:

Pupils e-mail death threats
Two Staffordshire schoolboys sparked an international operation by CIA agents after they sent e-mails threatening to assassinate US president George W Bush. The messages were sent to the official White House website but were tracked down to a classroom at Blake High School, in Hednesford.
Britain's Special Branch teamed up with the Central Intelligence Agency to investigate the source of the threats. The 15-year-old "assassins," who have not been named, were traced and were shocked to be visited at home by Special Branch officers.
They escaped prosecution and suspension after claiming the e-mails were just a prank. However, they have been given a severe telling-off from both the police and their school.
It is believed the electronic messages made threats to kill the president and included lewd references to his 19-year-old twin daughters Jenna and Barbara.
Heather Bowman, the school's headteacher, said: "The boys received a stern reprimand from both the police and the school." The thoughtless prank proved that in this electronic age all communications were traceable and attributable, she said. Mrs Bowman added that the school had been in the forefront of developments which made international communications easily accessible to all. She said: "The school is well aware of its responsibilities and has good monitoring and security systems in place which are constantly being updated."
A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police said: "Special Branch officers made inquiries at the school after allegations that threatening e-mails had been sent."

"thoughtless prank" my fat aunt hattie! I detest resident bush as much as any democrat, but, this sort of thing is not funny, and, they should be punished by more than just a tongue lashing. Bush is not qualified to be president, but, by god, he is not qualified to be murdered either.

Oh Boy.

Is this another US colonisation attempt?

I think the UK is quite capable of dealing with its own teenagers and that heavy handed US operations on UK soil would be rather out of keeping.

On a different tack, would it be OK then to try to assassinate Colonel Quadafy, or Saddam Hussein? If so, why don't we reserve judgment on whether it would be in the best interests of the world to assassinate the US usurper - and suborner of justice and no doubt soon grinder of the face of the working class.

"Qualified for assasination":

"Child Molesters":

You mean like the guy who was picking up 15-year old High School girls for occasional "horizontal refreshment", recently pardoned by Komrade Klinton in his last hours as exalted leader of the Free World... then promptly hired by the "Rev-ruund" Jessie JACKSON to work for the "Rainbow Coalition/Push" politically-correct EXTORTION RACKET?

"Drug Dealers":

Like Herr Shlickmeister's own Brother (first time in American history a President has pardoned a family member by the way)? I understand that he was doing time for dealing CO-CAINE.

Just noticed that an intruder with a gun was shot on the White House lawn only a couple of hours ago. Dubya was at home--

With due respect to Richard Bridge, it isn't unusual for terrorist actions to originate outside the country where they are carried out, and all governments involved would be remiss if they didn't investigate explicit threats, no matter where they originated, even when the subjects are teenagers.

Death threats should be taken seriously. Taking a death threat seriously does not necessarily mean bashing the perpetrators into the ground. A severe talking to may accomplish the desired change in behaviour, and that is what is needed.

Personally I think kendall is boasting when he signs on as someone else. I'm sure he does it deliberately.

The big mistake Baby Bush has made is to have a vice-president who looks more like a president than he does, and who apparently lacks his saving grace of indolence.

If anyone shoots Bush, I'd advise those investigating it to look very closely at the further reaches of the Republican Party.

WELL! The real story is, that at the time the looney was waving a gun at the White House, what was the pretender doing?
Well, lets look at what was happening else where and try and guess...
There is a crisis in the Middle East... There is a crisses in the American Military, Baby Bush ran on the promise he would increase money to the army - on the myth that Clinton starved their budget, and this week they asked for the usual day to day increase to cover replacement parts and unexpected expences, and the "army rediness canadate" said NO! Clinton never hessitated on that particular army funding need... a possible case of EBOLA virus had passed through Neward Airport (thank good it later proved not to be Ebola)... in New York associates of Ben Lauden were on trial... so in the middle of this buisy week, in the middle of the day, what was the pretender doing as the looney was being shot at (and bless the guards who realised he was only a threat to him self and did not shoot to kill... give that marksman a medal and our thanks - shot him in the knee when the man put the gun to his own head, to bring him down and save his life...)
WHAT WAS BABY BUSH DOING! Working out in the gym! One look at Clinton and you knew that other than an occastional jog down to MacDonnalds for his big mac and fries, he was not spending hours in the gym while Rome burned!
Best to all, especially that police marksman

Clinton did starve the military budget. Ask any regular soldier in the army and he/she will tell you that many of the posts have substandard barracks that would be condemned by civilian standards, and some of their training equipment is old and decrepit and they waste time repairing it and keeping it running. At least this is what my good friend the Sgt, who is now in his 15th year of service, has told me, and I've never known him to be a liar. A lot of veterans resigned, or didn't re-enlist during the Clinton administration, and recruiting numbers were WAY down in all branches of service.

Just ask somebody who's in the forces now. And I don't mean any high-ranking officer, I mean the soldiers who do the Real Work. We have the most powerful military force in the world, and have made great strides - BUT so many of our bases are sorely lacking in just basic stuff these people need on a daily basis. My friend the Sgt says it is nothing short of a miracle if all his unit's Humvees and other stuff are all actually working at the same time.

I guess it just depends on how one defines "good shape." Half empty, half full...

"Clinton did starve the military budget. Ask any regular soldier in the army and he/she will tell you that many of the posts have substandard barracks that would be condemned by civilian standards, and some of their training equipment is old and decrepit and they waste time repairing it and keeping it running. "

Uh Oh! I work in Government procurement, and, no, my job has nothing to do with finding women named Monica.

The above statement is partially true and the situation has little to do with Clinton and lots to do with the various rice bowls and empires within the Defense Department. I have seen war fighting capability on some bases scarificed for facility improvements on others. I have seen so many instances of wasted funds that it would curl your hair. Generally these decisions were the result of inadequate management and poor oversight, not the decreased budget.

We are working with a drastically decreased budget. There is no argument there. But when the budget is decreased it follows that programs should be reconsidered and wasteful ones should be eliminated. On our base we have consolidated offices and people into the smallest footprint possible and are now demolishing the empty buildings. It is up to us, the taxpayers of this nation, to demand that congress push the defense department, and every other department, to review and eliminate wasteful spending. Unfortunately the lobbyists and politicos will never allow that to happen. No one can fight the inertia of deadwood in place.

Gotta stop! I'm getting up on that old soap box and I don't need to go there right now.

First things first, any server running Unix will not without destroying the Drive/s be made NOT to log activity, so annonymity however well advertised does not exist.

Second, any email can be traced these days even from so called anonymous accounts, aol, msn, hotmail and so on.

Third even if a person used a Public Terminal, likely these days, they would still be 'logged' by the provider.

In effect the only way to do this kind of silly emailing is via remote highlevel hacking, A Hack to Phone line, B Hack to server and so on.

Re: Dubya

In Office one month and already one attempt to 'shoot' him, wonder when the copycats will start. BTW It will be very interesting to see how AshKroft deals with this guy.

Those kids in the UK would be in Jail for a very long time if they were in the USA, in fact knowing how the Law Agencies work here, I would not be suprised if after a suitable lull in Jail they both met accidental and sticky ends. That is the reality of the 'New' right in the USA. Very violent very cruel very into accomodating MONEY even if narcotics profits etc. The nearest thing there is would be South America - probably Columbia.
