Slipped in quietly under the news radar of the BABY P scandal.

This effectively means the POLICE can control any computer in Europe directly.

If you have ever allowed your ISP to remote your computer what happens is that basically they take over your PC.

This would mean that the POLICE could if they so wish ( and I am sure they would not do this ) plant things on computers.....in addition due to DATA laws no one would ever know that their computer had been remoted unless they were actually on the PC at the time and spotted it.

OF course the media and Government have given the EU this power without any discussion about its implications.

Big Brother is now IN YOUR PC !!! If you have a webcam than Big Brother can keep watch on you - that is the basic facts of this new ruling.

David ICKE was right. It is worse than anyone has predicted - even David Davis has underplayed it.

The article does not mention the things you seem to think it does. In fact nothing remotely like you suggest.

Your desire to believe your own sensational bias has once again effected your comprehension.

It might be time to buy shares in Bacofoil.

Forces will also take part in "remote searches" and patrol online to track down criminals. The EU said controls were in place to ensure that data protection laws were not breached as this information was gathered and shared.


Yeah right. They never lose data.

Is there anyone in the UK who is not a "suspect"?

"remoting" a computer Zooloo - surely you understand what that means ?

Go into your Vista control panel and you can switch on remote - that means if you are on the phone with say your ISP they can control your PC - it has happened to me and is very weird to see someon else controlling your mouse etc.

The Police are asking for permission to do this.

Does that only work with Vista?
I have XP.

No idea - try going to your "help" panel on Windows and put in "remote" and see if you can find any information.

It may point you towards a screen where you can say yes or no to remote control of your PC.

With the POLICE they obviously dont need permission to overule this screen.

It says 'remote viewing" and that means control and unbelievably ,as I wondered before clicking the link.. there it was.."child porn crime" !!

(download free Linux and by-pass windows altogther)

Yep..you are being softened up for control of the net.

No need for tinfoil..what you need is a bullshit detector as that is what this article is full of and the EU figures on 'child porn crime' are in sharp contrast to Interpol figures.

But remember..what about the little kiddies ?..if you don't handover control of the internet to me today your child will die tomorrow at the hands of a pedo!!

Maybe the answer is to go low tech. I still have a manual typewriter, along with pens and paper. If I felt that I was genuinely being monitored and threatened via technology I could quite happily live without it.

PERHAPS the VOICES in HIS head tell HIM. Failing that, it could be martians, LIZARDS, gypsy ROSE lee or PAUL Mckenna. As far as conspiracy related stuff go, THIS one IS off the scale.
