Minority Report


Ladies and gentlemen, Lamar Burgess,|director of the new National Precrime.
On behalf of your staff,|we present you with this.
- Congratulations, sir.|My God.
How did you get this?
I padded your expense account|for six months.
Revolvers like this one|were given to generals...
...at the end of the Civil War|by their troops.
The cylinders were loaded|with five gold-plated bullets...
...to symbolize the end|of the destruction and death...
...that had ripped the country apart|for five years.
Ladies and gentlemen,|with Precrime going national...
...maybe we can all look forward|to a time when none of us...
...will have to discharge|another firearm ever again.
Now enjoy yourselves.|Enjoy yourselves! That's an order.
Does this mean we can finally use|the lake house on weekends?

Alex: What's it like in the year 2006?

Kate: Well, I'm afraid the world's pretty much the same. Of course, we all dress in shiny metal jumpsuits and drive flying cars and no one talks anymore because we can read each other's minds... but, the truth is, from the past, not much has really changed in 2006.

(CIC)

Gaeta: So let me get this straight. You're saying that the Cylons found a way to use your navigation program to disable our ships?

Baltar: Essentially, uh, yes. I think they're using the CMP to infect your ships with some kind of computer virus, which makes them susceptible to Cylon commands.

Leoben Conoy: What is it about this place? What's it doing to me?

William Adama - Battlestar Galactica commanding officer: Must be your allergies

Leoben Conoy: I don't have allergies.

William Adama - Battlestar Galactica commanding officer: I didn't think so. What you got is silica pathways to the brain, or whatever it is you call that thing you pretend to think with. It's decomposing as we speak.

Leoben Conoy: It's the storm, isn't it? It puts out something. Something you discovered has an effect on Cylon technology. That's it, isn't it? And this is a refuge. That's why you put a fleet out here. Last ditch effort to hide from the Cylon attack, right? Well, it's not enough, Adama. I mean, I've been here for... hours. Once they find you, it won't take them that long to destroy you. They'll be in and out before they even get a headache.

TERRORISTS & SPIES > TERRORISTS

The Tylenol Terrorist


By Rachael Bell

The Tylenonl Terrorist: Death in a Bottle


On September 29, 1982, 12-year-old Mary Kellerman of Elk Grove Village, Illinois, woke up at dawn and went into her parents’ bedroom. She did not feel well and complained of having a sore throat and a runny nose. To ease her discomfort, her parents gave her one Extra-Strength Tylenol capsule. At 7 a.m. they found Mary on the bathroom floor. She was immediately taken to the hospital where she was later pronounced dead. Doctors initially suspected that Mary died from a stroke, but evidence later pointed to a more sinister diagnosis.

That same day, paramedics were called to the Arlington Heights home of 27-year-old postal worker Adam Janus. When they arrived, they found him lying on the floor. His breathing was labored, his blood pressure was dangerously low and his pupils were fixed and dilated. The paramedics rushed Adam Janus to the emergency room at Northwest Community Hospital, where they attempted to resuscitate him, but it was too late. Adam died shortly after he was brought to the hospital. His death was believed to be the result of a massive heart attack. However, doctors would later learn that his death was anything but natural.

Gritty police blog wins prestigious literary award for disturbing picture of officers' work in Brown's Britain

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Last updated at 11:14 AM on 24th April 2009


An anonymous police officer has won a prestigious prize for a gritty blog about life at the front-line of policing.

Jack Night - not his real name - won the special award for blogs at the Orwell Prize ceremony for Nightjack - an English Detective.

Over a 13-month period Jack Night exposed the day-to-day realities of dealing with criminals, life on the beat, courts and bureaucracy.

Sometimes making for difficult reading, the blog told tragic real-life tales as well as offering advice to law-abiding citizens in their day-to-day dealings with the police.

Judges described the blog as 'wonderful'.

In making the award, the judges said: 'The insight into the everyday life of the police that Jack Night's wonderful blog offered was - everybody felt - something which only a blog could deliver, and he delivered it brilliantly.

'It took you to the heart of what a policeman has to do - by the first blogpost you were hooked, and could not wait to click on to the next one.'

A fair cop: Policeman's 'perfect' blog wins Orwell prize

Sam Jones

The Guardian, Thursday 23 April 2009


The pages of a policeman's notebook, clumped as they are with impenetrable acronyms and tales of suspects proceeding in northerly directions, seldom crackle with urgent prose or lapse into howls of sardonic anger and moments of compassion.

But one serving officer, who used his daily jottings and professional experiences as raw material for a blog, has just been rewarded with the Orwell special prize for blogs.

According to the judges, the pronouncements of "Night Jack - An English Detective" provided a perfect example of the medium's power and importance.

"The insight into the everyday life of the police that Jack Night's wonderful blog offered was - everybody felt - something which only a blog could deliver, and he delivered it brilliantly. It took you to the heart of what a policeman has to do - by the first blogpost you were hooked, and could not wait to click on to the next."

Errrm Hello....Is This Thing On

Posted on April 22, 2009 by nightjack

Hello.

As you may konw, this blog was put up on bricks on 1st May 2009 for several reasons, not least of which was that I want to concentrate on writing a book. However, if you have anything on your mind, I am still reading any e-mails that come my way and I answer most of them. I am at thenightjack@hotmail.co.uk I’m also sure that I will be back at some point in the future.

This post was my immediate reaction, live blogged, to winning the Orwell Prize.

I am sitting here at home with a glass of fizz at one hand and sausage, chips and beans at the other. My representative at the Orwell Prize Ceremony has just rung me with the news that I have won. It has also just been twittered on Iain Dale’s Diary so it must be true.

I couldn’t go to the ceremony but I got a friend from way, way back to go in my stead. This is what I asked him to say

When I started the Night Jack blog back in February last year, I was standing on the shoulders of others. I heard about a Police blog called Inspector Gadget at work. I read it and I agreed with it. My comments on there started to get so long that one evening I sat down with my laptop and started a blog of my own.

As I wrote more posts I found that people were coming to my site to read and leave comments. Arguments started, some of them even came close to being reasoned debates. Then people in other blogs started linking to some of my posts and saying they were worth reading. As the readership headed over 1,000 a day, I started getting the occasional e-mail from the news media asking for an interview. I even got the obligatory Police blogging book offer. I am not now, nor have I ever been, a media cop.

Nazi propaganda


Propaganda, the coordinated attempt to influence public opinion through the use of media, was skillfully used by the Nazi Party in the years leading up to and during Adolf Hitler's leadership of Germany (1933–1945). Nazi propaganda provided a crucial instrument for acquiring and maintaining power, and for the implementation of their policies, including the pursuit of total war and the extermination of millions of people in the Holocaust.


As to the methods to be employed, he explains:

"Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favourable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favourable to its own side.

Modest boy who became a mass murderer

Sean Rayment, London

July 25, 2011.


IN THE space of 48 hours Anders Behring Breivik emerged from the obscurity of an Oslo suburb to become the worst mass killer in peacetime Europe.

Breivik was born on February 13, 1979 and grew up in western Oslo where, until recently, he lived with his mother in the wealthy suburb of Skoyen. Superficially, his upbringing appears to have been both middle-class and unremarkable. He attended the Handelsgym High School in Oslo and graduated with a masters degree from the Oslo School of Management.

In his late teens, he completed compulsory national service, where he received military training and learnt how to shoot.

William Adama - Battlestar Galactica commanding officer: Maybe. But you - but you won't find out because you'll be dead in a few minutes. How does that make you feel, if you can feel?

Leoben Conoy: I can feel more than you could ever conceive, Adama. But I won't die. When this body dies, my consciousness will be transfered to another one. And when that happens - I think I'll tell the others exactly where you are and I think that they'll come here and they'll kill all of you and I'll be here watching it happen.

William Adama - Battlestar Galactica commanding officer: You know what I think? I think if you could have transferred out of here, you would've done it long before now. I think the storm's radiation really clogged up your connection. You're not going anywhere. You're stuck in that body.

Leoben: Doesn't matter. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can't hide from the things you've done.

Gaeta: (after a pause) Must be hard for you.

Baltar: Mmm. What do you mean?

Gaeta: Just having something you created twisted and used like this. Must be... horrible. The guilt?

Six: (appearing next to Gaius) I remember you telling me once, that guilt was something small people feel when they run out of excuses for their behavior.

Baltar: It is hard, yes. Hard. I feel responsible, in a way, for what happened...

Six: But you don't. That's part of the reason I fell in love with you. You have a clarity of spirit, you're not burdened by conscience or guilt or regret.

Gaeta: I bet. Just try to remember, it's not really your fault. I mean, you didn't mean for any of this to happen, it's not like you knew what they were gonna do. (Baltar shakes his head emphatically.)
