Mubarik to address Egyptian People,
Reports of Resignation
 
As we go to "print", Egyptian President Hosni Mubarik has just announced that he will address the Egyptian people tonight.

Egyptian Voices From Tahir Square
Crowds of Egyptians, estimated to number in the hundreds of thousands, and possibly millions, took to the streets to call for President Hosni Mubarak to  step down.After more than a week of deaths, protests, violence, and looting, the crisis continues.  Yahoo! Contributor Maktoob profiled eight Egyptian protesters from different walks of life who shared their experiences, expectations, and hopes.
 
From Tamir el Demerdash, Age 36
.  .  . The president is playing with our emotions… and the Egyptian state TV is filled with lies. They are using the Muslim Brotherhood card to strike fear into us, but I am telling you that even though they are with us (protesters), they are not imposing their ideas on us, and even if they do, we won't allow them. 
I am hoping that President Mubarak steps down and relinquishes power to Vice President Omar Suleiman. When the regime goes down, we should regroup and figure things out with the help of the Committee of Elders.

Editorial
Perceptive Advice from a Statesperson
Hillary Clinton Speaks to the Egyptians

It would seem that Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton clearly and perceptively remembers what happened in the attempted “democratic” elections in Iraq.  Her inquiries to the U.S. military, (on abuses in Iraq) shown on CNN during the early years of the Iraqi conflict seemed on target.  The democratic process never quite “happened” in Iraq.  It seemed that the U.S. intervention became a central component of the “process”.  

She now counsels the Egyptians on the dangers of holding elections without adequate preparation,
“ Revolutions have overthrown dictators in the name of democracy, only to see the process hijacked by new autocrats who use violence, deception and rigged elections to stay in power,” she said. (Quote from Sunday NY Times International 2/6/11, Pg 11, “U.S. and Western Powers Seek a Gradual Transition of Power in Egypt“, by Fahim, Shadid from Cairo and Landler from Munich).

Kudos to our talented Secretary of State, Clinton, for seeing, comprehending and informing.  With information often comes clarity.  


Pycnogenol, Cell Survival
David and Lynn worked on this article

Pycnogenol comes from the pine bark of a tree known as Pinus pinaster. This is actually a French pine tree,  grown on a plantation of million of acres of maritime pine trees in southwest France, near the Bordeaux region.  These mono species tree forests are cultivated over a period of 30-50 years.  Neither pesticides nor herbicides are used in the growing. This pine bark contains active bioflavonoids, also found in fresh fruits and vegetables. Pycnogenol is a water extract from the bark of the these trees.
 
The active ingredients in pycnogenol can also be extracted from other sources, including peanut skin, grape seed, and witch hazel bark. 
 
The human body will generate free radicals especially when stress is present.  Free radicals cause cellular damage by oxidizing cells.  Many scientists believe that continuous exposure is a major cause of the effects of aging and degenerative diseases.   Pycnogenol stimulates the cells to double their ant oxidative power and it catches free radicals in the blood stream.  It is one of the few herbal remedies with this ability.  

Considered a free radical “scavenger” it rids the blood of aggressive free radicals before they cause damage through oxidative stress.  It boosts the immune system and it strengthens blood vessel walls and capillaries.  It supports a better circulation by preventing stress-induced constriction of arteries and blood-clotting.  It also contains substances which act against cramps.  

 
Overexposure to electromagnetic activity (EM) can cause lowered immunity.  Pycnogenol contains substances that might improve blood flow. It might also stimulate the immune system and have antioxidant effects. Korean scientists found that  pycnogenol had anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activities, as pycnogenol showed inhibitory effects on the expression of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1 by regulating redox-sensitive transcription factors. Pycnogenol may be one of the better herbs to take to effectively deal with over exposure to EM.

Bush Cancels Trip, Possible Probe Into Torture Uses
from Democracy Now
 
Former U.S. President George W. Bush has been forced to cancel a planned trip to Switzerland after human rights attorneys threatened to take legal action against him for sanctioning the use of torture. . . .  The Center for Constitutional Rights said they had planned to bring a complaint against Bush under the Convention Against Torture on behalf of two men who were tortured by U.S. interrogators and held at the military base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. In addition, Amnesty International said it had sent a detailed analysis to Swiss prosecutors, claiming there was sufficient information to open a criminal investigation against Bush.

    Matthew Pollard, attorney with Amnesty International: "Well, what we’re specifically bringing to the attention of the Swiss authorities are statements that Mr. Bush himself made in early November 2010, both on broadcast television in the United States and also in print in his memoirs that were published also at the end of2010, in which he, without any apology, admits that he authorized specifically the waterboarding of several identified individuals in particular cases."

Protest Threats in Geneva Derail Bush's Planned Visit
by James Risen
 
Washington           (p. 21) . . .    As a result international human rights groups, including Amnesty International, seized on the scheduled visit to petition the Swiss authorities to open an investigation of Mr. Bush while he was in the country. The groups argue the he had admitted to torture and thus could be prosecuted in Switzerland and other countries that have signed on to the international convention banning torture.  . . .  In 2009, a Spanish court began a criminal investigation of six former administration officials, on grounds that they had violated international law in connection with Guantanamo Bay..  The Obama Administration . . . pressured the Spanish government to make sure the case was derailed according to State Department cables made public by anti secrecy group Wikileaks.   As early as 2005, . . . Rumsfeld, faced the threat of war crimes prosecution in Germany over human rights abuses at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.   (paraphrasing) Germany decided not to prosecute Rumsfeld when Rumsfeld threatened not to attend an international defense conference scheduled in Munich.

The Magnetic North
by Sara Wheeler
Farrar, Straus & Givoux

Polar Distress

Holly Morris,
NY Times Reviewer and   PBS "Globe Trekker"
NY Times Book Review 2/6, Pg. 9
 
. . . "take a close look at the recent history of the interconnected lands that make up the Arctic and you'll also find a dumping ground, ravaged and exploited cultures and a poorly regulated zone in which humanity's worst instincts have been indulged.  This distressing reality and the enduring glimpses of beauty within it, is  what . . . Wheeler's new book . . . is all about.
 
She completes her Arctic circum-navigation at the medieval Solovki monastery, a perch beyond the beyond in Russia and where, in 1923, Red Guards threw out the monks after a 500 year stint and setup a gruesome template for the forced-labor gulag system.  "From the one cancer cell in that White Sea outpost, a tumor spread all over Russia", as Wheeler paraphrases Solzhenitsyn. . . . Joining a flow of pilgrims, wheeler ventures to this hermitage where, her guide says,
"faith triumphs  over death."
 
The monks have returned and with them, "a kind of humanity that eluded articulation," but one that Wheeler sensed and sifted for all over the Arctic. "The spirit lived in the quiet chants and the muttered prayers; they plucked new life out of death, as they always had," she writes.  "Just as dignified integrity outlasted cultural destruction among the Inuit, a sense of quiet redemption lived on amongst the boneyards of Stalin's White Sea  camp.  It was a good place to end."

#1078 Association Against The Abuse of Psychophysical Weapons / Barrie Trower

This is really good and answers a lot of questions. Thank You Deca.   Peter




    Date: Thursday, February 10, 2011, 11:34 AM

    Association Against The Abuse of Psychophysical Weapons / Barrie Trower

    Stutensee, Germany

    Swetlana Schunin and Waldemar Lotz

    s-schunin@t-online.de,

    Tel: 0721 / 504 39 25

    http://psychophysischer-terror.de.tl/Brief-an-B-.-Trower.htm

    http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?s=c2b5f6b0b290c5f9a8fd38639c6ef936&t=133767&page=18

    The guy has no cell phone and no computer and his hand-written answers are a bit difficult to pair up with the respective questions.

    Hence, I have paired them all up below for my own benefit, if anyone is interested.

    by Deca:

    1. How can we protect ourselves from microwave radiation?

    Purchase a small microwave detector (audible), never carry a mobile phone, even switched off, never have a walkabout phone - even off, never have any wireless device. Screen your bed and chair with a thin metal (not foil) screen.

    2. Can Bluetooth blockers or mobile phone blockers protect us from electronic torture-radiation, etc.?

    No. The only real solution is to ¨jam¨ the signal but that can cause other complications from reflection and constructive interference.

    3. Have you already tried one out yourself? Maybe there are other microwave blockers that can helpus?

    http://handyblocker.org/der-W-Lan-und-Bluetooth-blocker.htm

    As above. Personal or domestic (house) shielding is the only solution. Producing microwaves to ¨jam¨ microwaves may be more dangerous.

    4. Which devices could be used to measure the radiation?

    You could use a spectrometer but they can cost thousands of pounds and be very difficult to use. Simple detectors can be used, even hired from specialist people like ¨Powerwatch¨. They either flash little lights or ¨bleep¨ and cost around 100 pounds.

    5. How exactly does this technology function?

    They measure the frequency (number of waves) and amplitude (energy) of the waves. Not pulses or modulations – a spectrometer is needed for that.

    6. Though we all get certain types of hallucinations, nobody knows exactly how we are tormented. Can you describe how the criminals attack us?

    Yes. Microwave irradiation with the correct pulse frequencies can cause visual and audible hallucinations. Add to this, entrainment of the brain and you can induce severe mental illnesses that can fool psychiatrists. Effects can last weeks between irradiation attacks. It is very easy to do. You can be targeted all day and night to achieve the desired effect. If you go to the ¨h. e. s. e.¨ website, you should see a mathematical interpretation of how this occurs plus a flow chart. (h. e. s. e. is a German organization I think). They published some of my work. Please note at this point that I do not use or own a computer – just a fountain pen and bottle of ink.

    7. How do you think we could convince the police that radiation readings are abnormally high in victims´ apartments and houses?

    A legal measurement can only be made by an expert with a calibrated spectrometer over many days, weeks or months. Apart from being expensive – those irradiating you will soon learn of this and turn off their equipment. Hence, you will prove nothing. Hand-held devices are not accepted in court.

    8. Is it possible to make laser or microwave attacks audible or obvious?

    Yes, purchase a hand-held audible microwave detector.

    9. Can you send us pictures of microwave weapons or devices?

    Take a look out of your window! Any microwave mobile phone transmitter – any micro cell (picocell) in shops can be programmed by computer for this – as can any mobile phone you are carrying or using. Or any family member´s phone – even if it is totally off.

    10. How can it be medically proven that the affected person is actually irradiated?

    The best person for this is Professor Magda Havas

    http://www.magdahavas.com

    of Toronto University. She has conducted blood tests in her laboratory which show microwave irradiation. I believe they are on her website. I spoke there earlier this year. My talk should be on her website. (Look for the text of my address to King Kgolo Kgfela of South Africa).

    11. Which blood and urine parameters clearly show that the affected person is irradiated?

    As above – Magda Havas website – basically the viscosity changes.

    12. Are there already devices in existence that measure body radiation?

    Yes: EEG – ECG machines – lie detectors – it really depends on which part of the electromagnetic spectrum you wish to detect. All waves from the body can be detected, even the smallest A-B-Delta-Theta brainwaves.

    13. Why are politicians too cowardly to address the issue unless they really get pushed?

    There are people ¨above¨ politicians – (who just really deal with simple domestic matters) – those above politicians make the real decisions. These people are not subjected to a ¨vote¨ every four or five years!

    14. Mr Trower, you speak with scientists and students but why not with doctors and lawyers?

    15. Who can we expect to get help from - the press, the justice system, or just from ordinary citizens?

    I have spoken to three legal firms in the last year: I even produced an 88 page document for one of them. The problem is with the Governments generally, all such cases, like this, where Government and Government scientists are complicit in illegal experiments or experimentation of population – they will stall and delay. Most cases take on average about fifty years to come to court. Hence, most cases fail due to the death of the victim. It is easy for Government lawyers to put the onus of medical proof onto the victim. Most doctors or consultants work for a department of health – which of course is a Government Department! If not, and they work privately, they still have to be registered with the Government. Hence, you will receive very little medical help. I have personally known three hospital consultants be threatened within four hours of talking up such cases. They all gave up and decided to keep their jobs!

    Finally, you asked if I could give a press interview. It is a lot easier for the press to meet me here because I have all my documents to hand.

    The biggest problem of course is proof. Even if you can prove you are being irradiated (which is doubtful), how do you prove who is responsible? Theoretically, it could be from as many as 150 different companies from as many countries. – not necessarily the country you are in. This is why microwaves are such perfect weapons.

    I could probably come to Germany but it would be very expensive. You would do better to pay for an investigative reporter to write an article which exposes this – provided you could publish it of course!

    I have been banned from contacting eight universities – which gives you an idea of Government power. Along with three death threats.

    You may wish to read my address to King Kgfela on Magda´s website. A lot of good work to do with this is referenced on it.

    BARRY TROWER

    I trained at the Governments Microwave Warfare establishment in 60's. I worked with the underwater bomb disposal unit, which used microwaves.
    In the 70's I helped de-brief spies trained in microwave warfare.

    My first degree is in Physics (I specialised in microwaves)
    My second degree is a research degree.
    I have a teaching diploma in human physiology.
    I teach advanced physics and mathematics at South Dartmoor College.

    http://www.southdartmoor.devon.sch.uk/

    Author of the Tetra Report for the Police Federation. I predicted the illnesses, which the officers now complain of.
    I predicted the illness's the residents now complain of.
    These are illness's that occurred before my report was published and cannot be psychosomatic.

    At a conference in Birmingham I said " This Government, Industry and Government Scientists will be responsible for more deaths (of civilians) in peace time
    than all the terrorist organizations ever." The evidence I have is showing this is correct. I put my money where my mouth is and stand my ground.

Neural Devices

Neural devices stimulate growing market

Rick Merritt

11/12/2010 1:33 PM EST

SAN JOSE, Calif. – A startup hopes to get regulatory approval soon to sell what could be its first of a family of neural implants it envisions. The work at NeuroPace is just one part of an emerging neural device sector poised for significant growth.

After a decade of development NeuroPace (Mountain View, Calif.) submitted its request to the U.S. FDA in July for a brain implant to treat epilepsy. The company hopes its RNS system could be approved for use within a year.

"Over the next decade, I believe a variety of closed and open loop brain stimulation devices will replace destructive [surgical] procedures," said Martha Morrell, chief medical officer at NeuroPace in a talk at the BioMedDevice Forum here.

Trials with the epilepsy implant has given researchers new insights into the technology's potential to serve conditions ranging from pain management and depression to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.

"This is the first time we could look into the brain and see what's happening in real time," Morrell said. "We see this as a disease management tool," she said.

The RNS implant, which uses two custom chips, found abnormal brain activity in epilepsy patients was more extensive than previously thought.

Morrell%20Martha%20with%20caption.jpg"No one had ambulatory records of epileptic patients before, and it turned out the seizure was just the tip of iceberg," she said. "We found these patients need stimulation as much as 600 times a day for periods of typically 1-2 minutes," she added.

Doctors can program the device to sense and respond to a broad range of conditions. NeuroPace also maintains a database for long term studies of brain wave activity.

Morrell said she sees the potential for devices that deliver tiny doses of drugs as well as electrical stimulation to targeted areas of the brain. New electrode arrays and sensors will help expand the field of conditions such devices can address. Beyond brain waves, researchers are studying the flow in the brain of blood, oxygen, neural transmitters—and even temperature changes--as other ways to influence conditions.

This makes me think of a day where complete mind control will be possible.

#1072a Bill Clinton and Radiation Experiments

#1072a Bill Clinton and Radiation Experiments

    You never know, when Bill Clinton tried to put through a law to stop Non-Consensual Human Experimentation if that caused himself to have heightened sexual stress as well as Monika Lewinsky via, "Mind Control" or, "Brain Entrainment". Thus this scandal and possible attack on our President may have derailed Bill's attempt to stop the programs that are attacking us then and now, remember JFK"
    At the same time it was the admission of the radiation experiments on American test subjects that caused Bill to start an "Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments" (ACHRE) to review Washington's past actions in the hopes of preventing them from taking place
again.
   That is why an attempt to stop this, "Non-Consensual Human Experimentation" could end our suffering. I wonder if Bill even new about Mind control and Brain Entrainment back then? It was certainly in use and there was a big push at the end of his term around 1998-1999.

"Articles on ethics in social research can often seem somewhat thin on
the ground. Although volumes are dedicated to a wide variety of issues
within research practice, ethics tends to be overlooked. As
sociologists we must consider whether there is a reason for this.
Writing on ethics is surely one of the least popular activities a
sociologist can do, for it is a subject which carries with it an aura
of moralising which sits uncomfortably with us. After all, we all, as
sociologists and researchers, have clear codes of what constitutes
ethical behaviour to which we all adhere. This work is not, therefore,
an attempt to describe a moral platform but to consider internet
research through the lens of established paradigms in social research.
Of late there has been a rising interest in what has come to be
referred to as online ethnography. This is considered to be a variant
of traditional ethnomethodological techniques, utilising a spectrum of
observational and other qualitative methods to examine the ways in
which meaning is constructed in online environments and gleans much of
its’ analytical framework from derivations of conversation analysis.
This work considers a slightly different variant of this in looking at
the applicability to studies of internet interaction of the model of
research pursued by Erving Goffman. In "Behaviour in Public
Places"(1963) and "Relations in Public"(1971), Goffman’s concern is
with social relationships, social order and public life. His analysis
centres on the complex interrelation between the public and the
private, which is used here to illuminate the nature and forms of
online interaction. The questions which I hope to use Goffman’s
analysis to open up for debate are those which are fundamental to the
use of internet media in any research context. Can we justifiably
regard online interactions on bulletin boards, mailing lists and in
chat rooms as "public status" or do they constitute, as others may
argue, a form of private conversation which is embedded within a public
space? Or does the fact of private conversations occurring constitute
these arenas as private spaces into which we, as researchers, are
intruding? What are the natures and forms of intrusion online? And
finally, and most significantly, what is the status of text in a world
where the self is invested in the act of textual creation and no other?
These issues clearly have considerable ramifications for a
consideration of what would constitute a code of ethics in the age of
information, and the establishment of such a code is particularly
pressing now, when debate on the nature and forms of electronic life,
in both on and off-line arenas, increasingly takes its cue from a moral
panic over privacy and intrusion in the electronic age.

Firstly, however, we need to examine some contextual and theoretical
considerations concerning the applicability of the use of a Goffmanian
framework of analysis to online interaction. The key distinguishing
feature of online behaviour is that it occurs solely through text and
the exchange of text. Thus all "fronts", "settings" and "vehicles for
conveying signs" of self can only be that which can be rendered in
text. This is, some may argue, a fundamentally different proposition
from the forms of embodied communication and intercorporeal self
production (Crossley, 1995) which are investigated by Goffman. For
Goffman, like Austin, language (speech) is performative, which is to
say, it does something. "Each utterance presupposes, and contributes to
the presuppositions of, a jointly inhabitable mental world"(Goffman,
1983). The truth of this assertion is nowhere more evident than in the
case of online environments where utterances are all we can use to
produce self. Yet in "Relations in Public"(1971), for example, language
is given no privileged status as a means of constructing reality.
Rather it is grouped along with embodied acts as a form of
communicative or social ritual, one which reflexively affirms/creates
social orders and relationships. However, the specific conception of
speech as a form of ritual act is precisely what makes Goffman’s
perspective so valuable to a consideration of internet communication,
for this new arena raises serious questions about the nature of textual
communication and issues a challenge to old ways of thinking.

We are accustomed, howsoever erroneously (Foucault, 1979) to regarding
written language as the product of a single autonomous author. Writing
is privileged within Western culture as a an expression of, rather than
a constitution of, a single conscious self, as the views, opinions,
subj ectivity and experiences of a person. Thus we tend to see text as
autonomous, produced in isolation and on a conscious level, apart from
the co-ordination of interaction. As Giddens contends, textual creation
and interpretation "occurs without certain elements of the mutual
knowledge involved in co-presence within a setting, and without the
co-ordinated monitoring which co-present individuals carry on as part
of on-going talk"(1990: p.100). In short then, texts are located within
a realm defined by autonomy and distance from the mechanics of
co-present production of self. It is this conception that textual
interaction in electronic environments challenges and it does so
through forcing a redefinition of key elements in the debate, namely
those of co-presence, of means of co-ordination, and of producing self.

In online environments and in considerations of the nature of
cyberspace the self is systematically problematised. It has become an
article of faith amongst cyberspace commentators that the cyber-self is
an infinitely flexible creation of an autonomous individual. From the
concealment of aspects of stigmatised identity, through to the idea of
gender as an elective, through postmodernist fantasies of the
elimination of the embodied–self and a retreat into cyberspace, the
recurring theme is that of agency in the production of online selves.
In accounts of internet interaction the self is seen as an article of
individual genius, the creation solely of its’ controller, a creature
apart from and uninfluenced by the social world. This stance, then,
depends upon a philosophical commitment to a transcendent self, a
commitment which is outside the remit of an ethnographical perspective.
In Goffman’s terms the self may be seen as a reflexive constitution by
and of the social world. The cyber-self, no less than its embodied
counterpart, may be argued to be produced through ritual, through the
practices and relations which constitute the intersubjective fabric of
the online social world. "Self.." argues Goffman " is not an entity
half concealed behind events, but a changeable formula for managing
oneself during them" (1974:573). It is "a code that makes sense out
of…the individual’s activities and provides a basis for organizing
them" (1971:366). If this is so in everyday life, it can b e no less
true of interaction in online environments. It is simply that the
signifying resources available to a particular construction and
presentation of self are qualitatively different.

In "Relations in Public"(1971) Goffman delineates eight areas or
territories of the self, which we attempt to control in interaction
with others. These territories range from the body itself and its
covering (the sheath), through personal possessions, to the information
preserve, the set of facts about ourselves, biographical details and so
forth which we reveal or conceal according to the situation. It is
through control of these territories, the placement of individuals
within the spaces of the territories in relation to the self, that we
define our relations to others, the social world formed out of the
nexus of these relations, and therefore ourselves. What emerges from
the relocation of social interaction in the online environment is a
curious tension between intensification of control over the territories
of the self and its dissolution.

On the one hand we can attempt to present self in any terms of our
choosing, and the lack of visible evidence and of biographical and
situational information increases the chances of "passing", diminishing
the potential for a contradiction of self claims. We gain control over
our information preserves in this process. Yet even here one’s gain is
another’s loss, as aspects of identity and self claims may be
appropriated by others. Sherri Turkle (1986), for example, has spoken
of the profound sense of unease she felt upon being confronted with an
avatar which carried her name, her sense that an aspect of herself had
been reified and removed from her.

Moreover, it can be argued that at the same time we lose control over
the dissemination of the self we present. It is the conversational
preserve, which Goffman defines as including "the right of a set of
individuals once engaged in talk to have their circle protected from
entrance and overhearing by others" (1971:64) which is most violated in
this. The offence of overhearing is, in Goffman’s scheme, that of
encroachment, of taking from an individual information not intended to
be overheard, the penetration of a territory defined as own by the
speaker, and the defilement of same through the process of intrusion.

Thus we have arranged the elements of Goffman’s analysis which are of
most application to the analysis of online interaction, namely, the
territories of self; the notion of self as an intersubjective
construction of social interaction; public and private spaces as the
production of interaction; ritual as social reality; and interaction as
ritual. The question to which we now turn is that of the implications
of this stance for the ethics of social research online. Our starting
point must be a consideration of the status of online interaction,
whether as public or private. Whether internet communicative forms are
regarded as public or as private clearly has considerable ramifications
for how we may treat the wealth of sociological "data" which scrolls
before our eyes when we log on. Here it is the problematic notion of
text which must be anatomised. If we treat online texts, whether on web
sites, distributed through mailing lists, or as exchanges in chat rooms
as texts per se, then it is evident that our only responsibilities as
researchers lie in issues of intellectual property rights. However, if
these texts are seen as interaction then the situation is somewhat
different. In seeing textual production online as a form of self
presentation and production which occurs within co-present,
co-ordinated spaces of interaction we divorce the text from the
subjectivity of the "author", aligning it instead as interactive
ritual. Thus we are considering, not the expression of individual
personalities, but the strategic means and forms of interaction within
the media. The data is therefore, by implication, a product not of
individual agency but of social ritual, in much the same manner as the
pedestrian behaviour studied by Goffman may be considered to be
separate from the will of any specific observed individual. In this
instance, as Homan (1991:46) has argued, the data takes the form of an
insight which is not peculiar to any specific individual and therefore
does not attach a need to obtain informed consent from the participants.

If we are observing interactional ritual in this way, does it then
follow that we may liken our research online to the position of a
researcher who stands in a public place and observes the behaviour of
those within it? Sociology has long accepted that public behaviours are
a legitimate object for research insofar as such research focuses upon
the forms of interaction, rather than the acts of any individual. Hence
it is acceptable to observe the behaviour of people at town meetings,
in churches, pedestrian behaviour in the streets and shops without
needing to obtain informed consent. The reasons for this may partly
reside in the difficulty of obtaining informed consent in these
situations (a difficulty which is not applicable to online
environments, where an obvious means to communicate the fact of a study
in progress readily presents itself), but mainly centre on the lack of
necessity for it. Thus behaviour in public places is a legitimate
object of scrutiny for the social researcher, whereas that in private
is not, unless consent is given.

As Homan(1991)has argued, whether a space is public or private is
always relative to the definitions of those who occupy it and this is
particularly true of internet communities, where ther e are/were no
pre-existing cultural understandings of the nature of the media to
appeal to or be guided by in defining the situation. Two areas may be
considered to be revealing in this context, the views of the users as
expressed through the conceptual and verbal apparatuses of the
environments, and the actions of the internet community in the case of
"lurkers".

The ways in which electronic environments are described constitute a
conceptual apparatus, a tool for defining the spaces which we occupy
when online. As Correll (1997)demonstrated in the case of the Lesbian
cyber cafe upon which she conducted an ethnographic study, the creation
and maintenance of physical spaces is one of the key rituals in the
organisation of interaction. In a space where setting can only be
evoked textually, patrons of the cyber cafe used descriptions of
physical artefacts to organise the spaces of interaction, to define
relationships to each other and create/ maintain a social order(Correll
:1997). When we consider this in relation to spaces of online
interaction in general it can be seen that descriptions of place serve
to reflexively create arenas as public spaces. The diffusion of
references to town halls, town pumps, villages and cafes all give ample
testimony to an overriding definition of electronic forums as public
status. These spaces, then, are communal spaces, and this implies that
the interaction which occurs within them is also public and thus falls
within the remit of an observational sociology which is directed at
understanding behaviour in public spaces, whether on or off-line.

This idea is further supported by the actions of community participants
with regard to "lurkers" or non-contributors. Lurking is at the very
least tolerated in online environments and as Correll (1997) has
pointed out lurkers often receive a warm welcome from communities when
changing status to participant and acknowledging their previous
activities. Such a tolerance may only be regarded as intelligible from
the stance that internet interactions occur within a public arena and
are therefore matters for public consumption. If we imagine an
interaction in the offline world where one party listened attentively
but did not make his/her presence known to the others taking part, we
can only construe this in terms of "eavesdropping&quo t;. Th is
definition would be contingent upon our understanding of the
conversation as being private and therefore of the information being
divulged as the preserve only of those co-present when it was revealed.

However, this comparison reveals a problem, namely the definition of
co-presence as applied to internet communities. Although real time
interactions over IRC must be exempted from this, since there is a
temporal dimension involved in communication through that media, on
mailing lists, web sites and to some extent in MUDs and on bulletin
boards, the community to which we address ourselves is one that extends
beyond the confines of the immediately co-present. Our posts to a BBS
for example, may be replied to hours or days after we have produced
them. We address ourselves in these environments, therefore, to the
community as a whole, rather than those logged in at the time. A
researcher may be a part of this community, whether as a researcher or
simply in his/her own right as an individual and is thus amongst the
addressed in receiving this ritual of interaction.

However, it must be acknowledged that, just as Goffman saw private
spaces as existing within public ones, so in online spaces individuals
can delineate a private arena into which others transgress at their
peril. Through an exposition of the rituals and procedures by which
public spaces may be transformed into private ones, Goffman demon
strates that public and private are far from monolithic definitions to
guide action. Rather all such definitions are locally produced and are
therefore relative to the individual communal structures within which
they are rendered meaningful. In online interaction it is acknowledged
that some spaces are private to the specific community of users. Thus
Mitra has referred to online ghettos and the gradual fracturing of
internet life into multiple communities which share little in terms of
a common culture or over-riding definition of themselves as
"Netizens"(Hauben, 1997). Moreover, and to complicate matters,
Correll’s research has indicated that the use of public forums for
"private" engagements is widespread, with individuals often "breaking
off" to form enclaves of private conversation. So how do we, as
researchers, distinguish between interactions which are intended for
the entire community of Net users, to which we might with validity be
said to belong; those focused on a specific community, such as the
ethnic groups studied by Mitra; and those directed at the maintenance
of a private space between individuals? Only an engagement with the
frameworks of meaning and relevance of the individual communities as
revealed through the forms and rituals of interaction can yield an
understanding of these issues.

The above discussion, I hope, exposes some of the complexities surround
ing the issue of electronic interaction online and points the way to a
discussion of the key issues which we, as researchers, face when
venturing online. As always with matters of such complexity, any
discussion inevitably raises more questions than it answers. Can the
sociological researcher who participates in an electronic community
leave his/her sociological subjectivity behind, or is, as Homan has
suggested, the condition of being a sociologist an ontological state
which cannot be divorced from the self of the researcher? How can we
have an informed and informing ethnomethodological account of
cyberspace when it itself is distinguished by a schism between identity
and avatar? Who or what can give informed consent to participation in
research in a world where an adult presenting avatar may be the
construct of a child? Upon what terms and with reference to what means
are online selves produced? Such questions have no easy answers, for
the nature of online life is such that many of the main tenets of
social life are, if not undermined at least rendered problematic and
therefore available for reinterpretation. These are, however, issues
which cry out for debate if sociology is to acquire a meaningful and
informed understanding of social life online. If this article has
sketched out a framework for the consideration of these issues and the
resources available for their discussion, it has done what I intended."

#1070 UK Officer Fired for putting wife on, “No-Fly” List

UK immigration officer fired for putting wife on `no-fly’ list

February 3rd, 2011 / Raw Story

Woman stuck for three years in Pakistan

Ever since anti-terrorist “no-fly” lists were implemented in the years
following the 9/11 attacks, critics have aired concerns about people
being unjustly denied the ability to fly, and about the prospect of
government agents abusing the ability to ground travelers.

Now a revelation from the British government suggests those fears aren’t
unfounded.

According to the Home Office, the department in charge of internal
security in the UK, an immigration officer decided to get rid of his
wife by placing her on a “no-fly” list.

The Daily Mirror reported
<http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/01/30/immigration-officer\
-sacked-for-putting-wife-he-didn-t-like-on-terror-watch-list-115875-2288\
4828/> that the officer’s wife traveled to Pakistan to visit relatives,
but when she arrived at the airport to come home to Britain, she was
told she could not board the plane and officials would not reveal
why.The woman ended up stranded in Pakistan for three years as a result,
the Daily Mail reported
<
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1351937/Immigration-officer-fir\
ed-putting-wife-list-terrorists-stop-flying-home.html> .

“She obviously thought her husband, being an immigration officer,
would be able to find out what was going on,” a source inside the
immigration office told the Mirror. “Little did she know it was him who
had put her on the list. By all accounts he then had the time of his
life.”

What’s more, Home Office officials didn’t discover the fraudulent
listing until the immigration agent, whom the British government didn’t
name, was put up for promotion and a review of his work uncovered his
wife’s name on a no-fly list.

The officer confessed to altering the list and was fired for “gross
misconduct,” the Home Office stated.

He reportedly worked at the immigration bureau’s head office near
London, where he was part of a group responsible for updating government
security lists.

A Home Office spokesman said the British government takes all
allegations of misconduct seriously.

“On the extremely rare occasions where this occurs, the strongest action
is taken,” the spokesman said.
