Monday, July 11, 2011 at 01:14 AMThe 911 truth is out on the internet. This is the truth: The WTC was destroyed by 3 underground thermo-nuclear explosions. They were detonated by the US government which used this as an excuse to lead the US and its allies into invading Afghanistan and Iraq. All these wars and deaths were based on a lie. Goebbels: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” Will you help to tell the truth to the world? www.mathaba.netnews?x=625926 www.911-truth.net Be sure to watch the 26 part video there. #4 is on the built-in nuclear demolition scheme of the WTC www.911-truth.net911_WTC_nuclear_demolition_Dimitri_Khalezov_part04.mp4 #14 in on Building 7, which collapsed even though no plane hit it. www.911-truth.net911_WTC_nuclear_demolition_Dimitri_Khalezov_part14.mp4 #2425 is on the chronic radiation sickness of the WTC responders www.911-truth.net911_WTC_nuclear_demolition_Dimitri_Khalezov_part24.mp4 www.911-truth.net911_WTC_nuclear_demolition_Dimitri_Khalezov_part25.mp4 www.youtube.comwatch?v=sNh1Isb20tw&feature=player_embedded careandwashingofthebrain.blogspot.com201105911-comparing-building-implosions.html

Friday, July 8, 2011 at 09:58 PMGood riddance to this man hes an absolute disgrace to the police force and what makes me sick is the lump of cash he's going to get from us the tax payers.... The amount he is going to get should be spread out on front line officers.... I have a few mates who are coppers and they detest him

Friday, July 8, 2011 at 07:43 PM7 - Have I said anything about that? No because I dont know anything about the job and can I defend that? No I cant. Am I defending him? Of course not. I'm giving an opinion on someone that has chosen to retire - And said that everybody deserves a retirement. Either loads of stress for little or no reward after years of policing OR a retirement with family. Like I say I know which one I would choose. Post 8 - Sorry what do you want me to say??? I dont quite get what that has to do with someone making a decision to retire??? The CPS make decisions on who goes to court, NOT the police - if you worked in a police station you may understand that. Just like I have when I have had Burglars released without charge because they say there isnt enough evidence so please dont go down the lines of they are in the pocket of the police etc. And regarding post 9 - I dont agree with any officerhaving expensive cars to drive around in but I do agree with the chief officer having a driver - The reason being is because its just like any other chairman of a company in the private sector - Paperwork is done on route, conference calling etc. But in regard to them being driven around in Audis etc - I completely agree, scrap them and give them a fleet corsa! It's the 4 wheels they need, not the luxury and I think its a waste of money.

Friday, July 8, 2011 at 03:09 PMPost 3 - Before you start going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.......................about how rubbish the police and any other public service are how about you think a little before posting which is something you never seem to do. Here we have a bloke who has done years of service - He has worked hard and has risen to the top of his game. He is then faced with massive spending cuts to the force. Do you either say enough is enough, retire and forget about the stress or do you stress yourself out and work yourself into an early grave for a few more years? I know which one I would do. It's got nothing to do with not being able to manage a reduced budget - the police service has been working ona zero based budget for years! It's about saving shed loads of stress and enjoying a retirement. Although im guessing in your world public sector workers are not allowed to do that either?
