(Not that anyone would take notice of that!) He certainly had a way with words and with them, he made his name and had a profound effect on thinking and government. He had some notable friends and acquaintances, one of whom was William Molyneux, who lived in Ireland. After many years of long distance correspondence, they were finally able to meet in 1698 when Locke was 66 and Molyneux was 42. After five weeks together, on his return, the Irishman described it as the, "Happiest scene of my whole life." Sadly, despite Locke's expectation of meeting again, within a month, Molyneux was dead. Locke was genuinely stricken. In a letter to his late friend's brother he wrote: "Death with a violent hand... snatched from you a dear brother ... I bear too great a share in the loss, and am too sensibly touched with it myself ... to do anything but mingle my tears with yours. I have lost in your brother, not only an ingenious and learned aquaintance that all the world esteemed, but an intimate and sincere friend, whom I truly loved. And what a loss that is, those only can be sensible who know how valuable and how scarce a true friend is and how preferred to all other sort of treasure." The quote seems particularly appropriate at this time of repeated tragedy and separation it creates.Veaterecosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641952897751927118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863336524369281662.post-2163564156488735462017-06-15T17:06:17.712-07:002017-06-15T17:06:17.712-07:00The technical aspects of the cladding discussed he...The technical aspects of the cladding discussed here: <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icIfkoIzcJQVeaterecosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641952897751927118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863336524369281662.post-54441248561989772322017-06-15T15:41:33.946-07:002017-06-15T15:41:33.946-07:00Nearly 50 years since Ronan Point collapse. https:...Nearly 50 years since Ronan Point collapse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronan_Point It changed construction methods.

So in respect of crucial initial filming of these 'terrorist' events immediately made available on the internet, in stark contrast to the absence of all other CCTV footage, we have yet again a distinct Jewish connection and footprint. Another interesting and unremarked fact is of course that Millbank Tower is bang next to the headquarters of Britain's internal security service - MI5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millbank_Tower https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_and_Simon_Reuben https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_HouseVeaterecosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641952897751927118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863336524369281662.post-10091311233481106762017-06-15T04:07:02.331-07:002017-06-15T04:07:02.331-07:00Tim Veater Ian Davis Of course as always WE are no...Tim Veater Ian Davis Of course as always WE are not in the know. I had quite a lot to do with buildings and Housing law enforcement in my time so I am fairly aware of the realities. All the stuff that has gone off in recent years has taught me to be very wary of these high profile iconic events in contrast to all the "run of the mill" accidents and deaths from one cause or another. The central questions in this apalling fire are how did it start; how did it catch light to external cladding and why did the material not meet fire retardant standards; how the external blaze in turn set light to a large number of flats; whether all the fire precautions were in place, adequate and working; and whether the standing advice, common to all such buildings, is appropriate in all the circumstances. Underlying everything is the question, was this 'purely' accidental, or did it involve some element of intentional planning? If it was a 9/11 look-a-like for evil deceit, then presumably it started way back with the agreed specification at the time of refurbishment. I notice the Royal Family Twitter a/c has just tweeted a memorial service for the 18 deaths and many injuries connected to the first daylight air raid on the 13th June, 1917. It has delayed BREXIT, Queen's Speech and probably Trumps visit. All these factors (and all the earlier ones referred to, particuly the Jo Cox business which shouts manipulation for political purposes) indicate as never before big issues are at stake, for which mass terror are weapons. We also know that national secret agencies that have BILLIONS of virtually unaccountable currency, will as Ronald Bernard, an illuminanti 'insider' put it "Literally stop at nothing. NOTHING!" if so inclined.

Someone/thing obviously went to some considerable lengths to do so and why just in that area? The Mirror described it as "daubed" but this was a quite inappropriate verb as they were professional poster INSIDE an advertising frame attached to a bus shelter. Immediately behind it is a concrete building that I take to be a multi-storey car-park, but visually it could equally be a burnt out shell. Then did you spot it was eleven (11!) years since that limited edition of the 'Towering Inferno' was released on the 9th of May, 2006, providing (yet again) a 9/11 numerical (not to mention the 36 days between the two dates) Finally I happened to notice that the stated time the fire started was 00.54 BST or otherwise 12.54, which happens to make 66. All of these little features are probably coincidental of course but we should be alert to them I think, given the recent run of very suspicious events leading up to the election and now this on the well publicised death of Jo Cox and its impact on the Brexit negotiations. What is beyond doubt is that the event is emotionally and visually reminiscent of the 9/11 disaster in a number of respects as reported by the firemen themselves; they both follow extensive interior and exterior renovation work; safety failures have been reported on numerous occasions; and fire experts are baffled that the fire could have spread as it did and described it as "unprecidented". It also just happened to house what appear to be a large proportion of foreign born individuals, many of whom seem to be of muslim faith. Now if all this combined doesn't make us question how such a thing could happen, including the possibility - until proven otherwise - of evil intent, I am doubtful what would!Veaterecosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641952897751927118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863336524369281662.post-74256121596438669322017-06-14T07:03:30.223-07:002017-06-14T07:03:30.223-07:00https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buV929MqlWc
This ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buV929MqlWc<br /><br />This interviewee thinks "It wasn't an accident." He claims the intention is a redevelopment and 'social cleansing' one. To support it he claims only this block was refurbished with the plastic cladding that was clearly flammable about a year before. <br /><br />I do find the circulated explanation that it was a "washing machine that exploded" hard to believe. Even if an appliance caught fire within the kitchen of the flat it would have to break out through the window to ignite the cladding and thence up the outside of the building.<br /><br />It is clear fire rages INSIDE most of the flats, so from the outside back in again with enormous speed apparently. Even on an old block such as this there should have been adequate fire separation between floors and compartments within them, so this is a very basic failure that will have to be investigated.<br /><br />In any event appliances tend not to "explode" although they can and do catch fire from overheating in driers for example. But in my experience of several these tend to be extinguised fairly quickly with only local damage restricted to the flat in question. How if this was the initial cause did the fire get out of control so quickly?<br /><br />Other issues raised related to fire alarms and lighting. Some report there was no fire alarm sounding. Others that there were only small domestic alarms operating within individual flats. This clearly needs looking into. Alarms within flats may be useful to warn the respective family but are of little use to warn the rest of the block. To be effective there should be both and they should be linked.<br /><br />Similarly people report there was no lighting in the access stairways and they fumbled in the dark. This should never happen as emergency lighting should immediately come on in case of power failure. It also tends to confirm the the reservations and complaints of residents association that these systems were not maintained - a common enough feature of housing providers.<br /><br />Another aspect is the provision of portable fire extinguishers and mains hydrants within the block which if swiftly and corectly used can stop a fire in its early stages and provide firemen with the means to fight the fire floor by floor from inside. Were they available? Were they used?<br /><br />Finally the signage is standard for this sort of building but has caused controversy in the past. What is clear is that many more would have died if the instructions had been followed. I am pleased to say that my advice on these issues in the past has been vindicated, even if not necessarily followed.Veaterecosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641952897751927118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863336524369281662.post-779682730599807102017-06-14T06:27:24.729-07:002017-06-14T06:27:24.729-07:00"Explosions" reported here: https://www...."Explosions" reported here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiMHWwTkudg "Gas?"Veaterecosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641952897751927118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863336524369281662.post-30983900349371607132017-06-14T05:31:47.968-07:002017-06-14T05:31:47.968-07:00The Towering Inferno was released in theatres on D...The Towering Inferno was released in theatres on December 14, 1974. The film was released on DVD on April 15, 2003, initially and later on May 9, 2006, as a special edition by 20th Century Fox.<br /><br />A near-complete release came on the Film Score Monthly label (FSM) on April 1, 2001 and was produced by Lukas Kendall and Nick Redman. FSM's was an almost completely expanded version remixed from album masters at Warner Bros. archives and the multi-track 35mm magnetic film stems at 20th Century Fox. Placed into chronological order and restoring action cues, it became one of the company's biggest sellers; only 4000 copies were pressed and it is now out of print.<br /><br />From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Towering_Inferno#ReleaseVeaterecosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641952897751927118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863336524369281662.post-63600378500689410892017-06-14T04:27:42.184-07:002017-06-14T04:27:42.184-07:00Just one example: http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/n...Just one example: http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/news/local-news/ladbroke-grove-student-arrested-plotting-7907490<br /><br />Another: "Police called out to burning Union flag posters<br /><br />Sick idiots have daubed a London bus shelter with a photo of a burning Union flag - just one day after the Westminster Bridge attack.
