  • Secret Chat room kept London markets open & Tony Blair for 2008 President of the USA

    A secret Internet chat room run by Britain's financial regulators helped keep London's financial markets open after Thursday's bomb blasts, regulators said, while financial firms activated security measures in case of further attacks.

    To Londers:

    My heart goes out to ALL Londoners.  I appreciate your nobility and calm, Brits, but these fuckers must die!!  All human predators who MURDER the innocent must be exterminated. 

    Why is this so hard to understand?  I believe in making proactive steps to exterminating molesting murderers of the innocent, serial killers, and terrorists.  As a global civilization we can not allow these predators to go unchecked.  They should be killed, not out of hatred or revenge but for the stability and survival of the human race.     

    Tony Blair for President of the USA:

    Regarding the birth place of many terrorists, I believe that the best way of dealing with these parts of the world is with the same calm and nobility that the Londoners have displayed over the last few days.  Why?  Just look at Tony Blair, World President and you will know the reason.  Here is a man who has pushed for sometime to chip away at poverty with something WAY beyond double talk and unkept promises.

    I believe it is ignorance, misguided hatred, and mistrust that keeps some young male middle eastereners going to terror camps.  I think that Blair is leading the world in the right direction. To show with unquestionable actions that his intentions are great. 

    I was watching Blair speak on C-Span last night about the G8 Summit and the passion for helping people came through like a bright aura from his whole being as he spoke of aid to Africa.  This is the type of leader that the world needs now. 

    Not leaders who rush in with half baked plans and ill conceived reasons, or irrelevant international orginizations that swindle money and don't enforce their own resolutions.  The Internation community needs a balance and practical person whos interests go beyond racial, monetary and even NATIONAL barriers. 

    And that is why I want Tony Blair to be the next president of the United States of America!  Or maybe we need a queen.

    God Bless the British.  You truly are a noble people forged in fires, sharpend and polished into fine steel!
