"The Lewes bomb was a blast-incendiary field expedient explosive device, manufactured by mixing diesel oil and Nobel 808 plastic explosive. It was created by Lieutenant Jock Lewes, one of the original members of L Detachment SAS in 1941. The SAS needed a combined incendiary and explosive device light enough to be carried by a small group of commandos yet powerful enough to destroy and set fire to aircraft on an enemy airfield. Weighing approximately 1 pound (0.45 kg), the Lewes Bomb could be carried in quantity by an individual.
The only available bomb at the time was too cumbersome to be carried by a paratrooper. Lewes experimented with various types of incendiary and explosive materials, using trial and error. The final design used a pound of plastic explosive, mixed with a quarter pound of thermite and a small amount of diesel oil. Inside the mass was inserted a 2 ounce dry gun cotton booster, plus a detonator attached to a thirty-second fuse. Alternatively, Lewes bombs could be triggered by pencil detonators or booby-trap firing devices such as pressure release switches."
"Fort McMurray Fire Was Likely Caused By Humans: Researcher
CP | By Liam Casey, The Canadian Press
Posted: 05/05/2016 12:48 pm EDT Updated: 05/05/2016 12:59 pm EDT
Humans are the leading cause of wildfires in Canada, says a forest fire researcher who believes the latest blaze that has ripped through parts of Fort McMurray, Alta., is no exception.
Mike Flanagan, a professor of wildland fires at the University of Alberta, says the fire's proximity to the city, as well as data that shows there were no lightning strikes in the area, lead him to believe the cause of the fire was likely human. "And in spring it's heavily loaded on the side of people-caused fires,'' Flanagan said.
50 per cent of fires caused by people
An average of 1,200 wildfires are reported in Alberta each year, and half of those fires are caused by humans, according to the National Fire Database. Lightning is the second-leading cause with 47 per cent.
Officials were still investigating the cause of the latest fire, which remained out of control on Wednesday as it raged around Fort McMurray, a city of about 80,000 people located 435 kilometres northeast of Edmonton."
“Axa boss Henri de Castries on coal: 'Do you really want to be the last investor?'
Head of giant insurer, and chair of the shadowy Bilderberg group, talks about selling off fossil fuel investments, China's stock market crash and Brexit

Henri de Castries might just be the most powerful man in the world. He is chief executive and chairman of one of the world's biggest insurers, Axa, and a member of France's illustrious noble house of Castries. But De Castries is also chairman of the Bilderberg group, a collection of political and business leaders from Europe and North America that meets in private every year to debate "megatrends and major issues facing the world" – or which is secretly running the world if you are a conspiracy theorist.
With this in mind, De Castries's penchant for making dramatic comparisons is worth taking seriously. The charismatic Axa boss compares investing in fossil fuels to investing in asbestos-related companies in the 50s or 60s, the rise of the internet to the advent of electricity at the end of the 19th century and, perhaps most alarmingly, the recent fall in Chinese share prices with the Wall Street Crash of 1929.
If the cost of non-clean technologies rises because fewer people are willing to invest, it will lead to a reorientation Henri de Castries.
De Castries says the stock market slump in China is "more worrying" than the Greek debt crisis. An estimated 100m Chinese households have invested in shares, he explains, meaning there could be an impact on consumer spending. This would hurt western companies that have become reliant on Chinese consumers for growth, such as carmakers and luxury brands.
"Of course there are parallels [with 1929]," De Castries adds. "In any strongly emerging economy you have these sort of behaviours. One of the very interesting things was that the US economy was doing pretty well, but the stock market was inflated. When it started to collapse, Morgan [John Pierpont Morgan Jr, head of the bank JP Morgan] organised a consortium of banks to try to stop the bleeding – exactly the way, at the very same point of the curve, the Chinese authorities tried to rally the brokers to try to stop the decline. The impact on the real economy was only a couple of quarters later, because you need to have people feel the pain, understand that you have lost money."
Axa to divest from high-risk coal funds due to threat of climate change However, the Frenchman believes that policy makers have learnt from the mistakes of 1929, and from how the 2008 financial crisis was handled.
"The Chinese economy of 2015 is not the US economy of '29," he adds. "A lot of decision makers are much more aware of what the consequences of monetary policies are, and the efficiency of the Chinese government in 2015 and its grip on the civil society is probably higher than the grip the US authorities had on their own public opinion at the time. So we will see. It is interesting. History in the making."
Despite concerns about the Chinese stock market, Axa continues to run two joint ventures in China, including one with the biggest bank in the world, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC). In total, Axa now controls €1.4tn (£990bn) through its asset management business, making the company one of the biggest institutional investors in the word, and De Castries ideally placed to comment on the shape of the global economy.
De Castries, 60, is speaking from Axa's offices in the City of London after the insurance group posted a 12% rise in first-half underlying profits to a record €3.1bn, helped in part by a weakening of the euro and the fact there were fewer natural catastrophes during the period. Profits in the UK rose 27% to £150m."
"Trudeau's carbon caper To get the premiers to agree to 'carbon pricing', the PM changed what it means
BY LORRIE GOLDSTEIN, TORONTO SUN
FIRST POSTED: SATURDAY, MARCH 05, 2016 01:49 PM EST | UPDATED: SATURDAY, MARCH 05, 2016 01:54 PM EST
Brown should follow B.C.'s carbon tax
Carbon pricing: Poorer, not greener
The only way Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was able to get Canada's 13 premiers and territorial leaders to agree to carbon pricing last week was to render the term meaningless.
Carbon pricing means carbon taxes, cap-and-trade, or government regulations, all of which put a price on industrial greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change when oil, coal or natural gas are burned to produce energy.
But at Thursday's meeting in Vancouver between Trudeau and his provincial and territorial counterparts, carbon pricing became whatever any premier wanted it to be.
For example, carbon capture and storage, buying hydro power instead of coal-fired electricity, or subsidizing "green energy".
Trudeau didn’t get what he wanted, given his public statements during and after the federal election.
That was unanimous agreement from the premiers and territorial leaders to set a minimum national carbon price of so many dollars per tonne of emissions.
For example, B.C.'s carbon tax started at $10 per tonne in 2008 and is now $30. Alberta is setting its carbon tax at $20 per tonne in 2017, rising to $30 in 2018. Ontario is predicting a carbon price of $17 to $18 per tonne when it launches its cap-and-trade program next year.
By contrast, the only mention of “carbon pricing” in the so-called Vancouver Declaration agreed to by Trudeau and the provincial and territorial leaders, was as one of four areas their governments will study for six months before meeting again.
Even that's limited to exploring, "carbon pricing mechanisms adapted to each province's and territory's specific circumstances and in particular the realities of Canada’s Indigenous peoples and Arctic and sub-Arctic regions."
That’s not setting a national carbon price. It's what you say to paper over differences when you can't set one.
It ignores the fact time is already running out on the national emission reduction targets Trudeau has set for Canada, which used to be Stephen Harper’s targets.
For Trudeau to meet his target of reducing Canada's annual emissions to 17% below 2005 levels by 2020, Canada will have to lower them by at least 127 megatonnes (Mt) annually, the equivalent of shutting down all of our electricity sector (85 Mt) plus half of the building sector (43 Mt), in less than five years.
To meet Trudeau’s target of reducing emissions to 30% below 2005 levels by 2030, Canada will have to lower its annual emissions by at least 241 Mt, the equivalent of shutting down all of Canada’s oil and gas sector (179 Mt), plus most of the agriculture sector (75 Mt) in less than 15 years.
Now consider that B.C.'s widely praised, revenue neutral carbon tax of $30 per tonne is predicted to reduce that province’s emissions by only 3 Mt annually by 2020.
Confronted with these figures, we can see what Trudeau's real strategy was in Vancouver.
It was to establish a process to make it look like Canada is meeting its international climate change obligations, as Trudeau promised at the UN climate meeting in Paris in December.
This as opposed to actually meeting his targets for Canada.
Trudeau isn’t the only leader to pull this bait-and-switch.
So is U.S. President Barack Obama, who failed to set a national carbon price for America during his two terms in office in a country where emissions are rising again after falling briefly in the aftermath of the 2008 recession.
That's the same thing that happened in Canada.
Proof that for all the political talk about making emissions go down, they're really going up.
"World Bank planned to be collection agency for CO2 tax
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com Thursday, May 31, 2012
The Bilderberg Group plans to put the finishing touches to a global carbon tax agenda that is already in full swing, according to our inside sources, with the threat of endangered species set to replace man-made global warming as the main vehicle through which the elite’s post-industrial revolution is accomplished.
Alex Jones' source inside Bilderberg has told him that the secretive cabal still plans to use the World Bank as the collection agency for a global CO2 tax. World Bank head Robert Zoellick is in attendance at this year’s confab in Chantilly, Virginia according to the official attendee list.
Numerous representatives of the environmental movement are attending Bilderberg this year to help push this agenda through, including Fred Krupp, president of the Environmental Defense Fund, a group that generates revenue in the name of fighting climate change and yet is tied at the hip with some of the biggest corporations on the planet, including McDonald's and FedEx.
Echoing UN reports which call for a similar shift, the widely discredited man-made climate mantra will largely be dispensed in favor of centralizing power through other means, particularly by using the pretext of endangered species and overpopulation.
The onset of a global carbon tax is already underway in numerous countries. In Australia, businesses are being threatened with fines of up to $1.1 million dollars if they even dare to criticize the carbon tax set to be implemented on July 1st.
Meanwhile, a carbon tax in Europe imposed since the start of the year charges airlines emissions fees for all flights that cross the continent, costs that are inevitably set to be passed on to consumers.
As we reported earlier this week, Agenda 21 is set to be a centerpiece of Bilderberg discussion, with the attendance of Alberta Premier and global warming alarmist Alison Redford at this year's confab to discuss "ecological issues.""

"Police drop investigation into Serco prisoner transport contract
The outsourcing group said there was no evidence of individual or corporate wrongdoing
By Marion Dakers
7:42AM GMT 19 Dec 2014
The City of London Police has closed an investigation into Serco's prisoner transport contract after more than a year of work, enabling the firm to continue with the contract until 2018.
The Ministry of Justice called in the police in August 2013 to examine whether Serco had misleadingly recorded prisoners as being ready for court when they were not, in order to meet the performance criteria of the contract.
However, Serco said on Friday that the probe into the Prisoner Escort and Custody Services (PECS) contract had been closed after the police found no evidence to support bringing charges against the outsourcing firm or its staff.
"The information obtained was also sufficient for the City of London Police to conclude there was no evidence of any corporate-wide conspiracy or an intention to falsify figures to meet the DRACT [designated ready and available for court time] contract requirement by senior Sercomanagement or at the board level of the company," the firm said in a statement.
The Ministry of Justice had said it would end the contract immediately if the firm's board was found to have done wrong.
Serco agreed last year to repay all past profits and forgo any future profit on the PECS contract. The deal is due to run until August 2018 and involves Serco transporting prisoners to and from 24 Crown Courts, 43 Magistrates’ Courts, 24 prisons and 131 police stations.
The end of the investigation closes one chapter of Serco's problems over the past few years. The company repaid £70m last year for overcharging the government on electronic tagging contracts, in a matter that was referred to the Serious Fraud Office.
The firm replaced its chief executive Chris Hyman with Rupert Soames [member of the centuries-old death-betting White's Club] in June, handing him the task of putting the firm back on an even keel. A rights issue is expected early next year to shore up Serco's financial position."
"Origins of the Bilderberg meetings [This site campaigns for a press conference at all Bilderberg venues - and a declaration from the steering committee that any consensus reached must be in our public, not their private interest]
Creator and chairman of the Bilderbergers was a card carrying member of Hitler's SS and repeatedly lied when asked if he was a Nazi party member as a student (separate page all about Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands) …
Unilever's chief adviser on international affairs was David Mitrany, whose book, A Working Peace Svstem, published in 1943, secured him this post. (He also worked for Chatham House). it was Mitrany who coined the term 'functionalism' to refer to the strategy of supra-national integration through a series of sectoral processes of internationalisation, designed to set in motion an autonomous logic, making inevitable further integration and ultimately making national states obsolete (Groom and Taylor p. 125 ff.). In the post-war period there were three basic models for European union: alongside the 'functionalists' (in this sense), were the 'inter-governmentalists' (e.g. Spaak) and the 'federalists' (e.g. Monnet himself). In the 1960s the functionalists used the slogan 'Atlantic Partnership' as the framework for the integration or synchronisation of US and European interests.
The immediate chain of events leading to the setting up of the first conference was as follows. Prince Bernhard set off for the USA in 1952 to visit his old friend Walter Bedell Smith, director of the newly-formed CIA. Smith put the organisation of the American end into the hands of Charles D. Jackson (special assistant for psychological warfare to the US President), who appointed John S. Coleman (president of the Burroughs Corporation. and a member of the Committee for a National Trade Policy), who in turn briefly became US chair of Bilderberg.
Charles Jackson was president of the Committee for a Free Europe (forerunner of the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF) whose extensive operations financing and organising anti-Communist social democratic political intellectuals has only recently been fully documented (see Coleman 1989); and ran the CIA-financed Radio Free Europe in Germany. Earlier he had been publisher of Fortune magazine and managing director of Time/Life, and during the war was deputy head of psychological warfare for Eisenhower. At the time of Bernhard's visit he was working with a committee of businessmen on both sides of the Atlantic which approved the European Payments Union.
It was thus a European initiative, and its aim was, in official bland language, to 'strengthen links' between Western Europe and the USA. A selected list of people to be invited to the first conference was drawn up by Retinger, with Prince Bernhard and Rijkens, from the European countries of NATO plus Sweden. The resulting group consisted of the Belgian and Italian prime ministers, Paul van Zeeland and Alcide de Gasperi (CDU), from France both the right wing prime minister Antoine Pinay and the Socialist leader Guy Mollet; diplomats like Pietro Quaroni of Italy and Panavotis Pipinelis of Greece; top German corporate lawyer Rudolf Miller and the industrialist Otto Wolff von Amerongen and the Danish foreign minister Ole Bjorn Kraft (publisher of Denmark's top daily newspaper); and from England came Denis Healey and Hugh Gaitskell from the Labour Party, Robert Boothby from the Conservative Party, Sir Oliver Franks from the British state, and Sir Colin Gubbins, who had headed the Special Operations Executive (SOL) during the war."

"Loan Improvement
Jan 31, 2001
SBA modernizes to help feed its growing programs
BY PATRICIA DAUKANTAS | GCN STAFF
Under a five-year plan for overhauling its information technology systems, the Small Business Administration recently acquired new software for financial and other administrative tasks.
By the time SBA celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2003, agency officials want all their programs up and running around the clock, chief financial officer Joseph Loddo said.
In the first phase of the modernization, the agency has upgraded systems for managing its extensive portfolio of guaranteed loans, chief operating officer Kristine Marcy said.
SBA processed its first electronic loan last November through its Sacramento, Calif., office and plans to add more private lenders during fiscal 2001.
The agency's staffing level has dropped 22 percent over the past eight years, which is another reason to improve IT, Marcy said. Over the past decade, SBA's portfolio of loans to small and disadvantaged businesses has more than doubled to $50 billion.
'We're a small agency with a huge portfolio,' Marcy said. SBA supplies more than half of the U.S. venture capital available each year.
Seventy percent to 80 percent of the loans are booked through a preferred lender program [structured by Serco], which involves nearly 7,000 banks, Marcy said. SBA guarantees the loans, just as the government backs student and housing loans.
'The financial and IT businesses were changing so rapidly, we had to make some changes to stay current with the private sector,' Marcy said. Banks had been asking SBA to make faster decisions on loan guarantees. The agency decided to aim for a turnaround time of one hour.
In the second phase of modernization, SBA is revamping its financial, human resources, procurement and travel systems with Web-enabled Oracle Corp. applications.
Online in October
The financial system will use Oracle's U.S. Federal Financials 3.3, which meets the requirements of the Joint Financial Management Improvement Program.
SBA announced the $1.5 million Oracle contract late last year and plans to bring the software online by Oct. 1, Loddo said.
'We need to make sure we are appropriately sensitive to small businesses' and have small-business partners, not just Oracle, Marcy said.
The second-phase integrator, SRA International Inc. of Arlington, Va., has subcontracted with a number of small firms for things such as training and data conversion.
Also, a core team of senior SBA employees has been transferred away from day-to-day tasks to help with the modernization, Loddo said.
In the final phase of the modernization, SBA will upgrade the computers in its 8(a) Business Development Program, which assists small businesses in competing for government contracts, Marcy said. The agency wants to be able to improve its tracking of clients' successes and failures."

Definition of Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Individuals
Socially disadvantaged individuals are those who have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias because of their identities as members of groups without regard to their individual qualities. The social disadvantage must stem from circumstances beyond their control. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the following individuals are presumed to be socially disadvantaged:
Black Americans; Hispanic Americans (persons with origins from Latin America, South America, Portugal and Spain); Native Americans (American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts, and Native Hawaiians); Asian Pacific Americans (persons with origins from Japan, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, Samoa, Guam, U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands [Republic of Palau], Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Laos, Cambodia [Kampuchea], Taiwan, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Macao, Hong Kong, Fiji, Tonga, Kiribati, Tuvalu, or Nauru); Subcontinent Asian Americans (persons with origins from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the Maldives Islands or Nepal); And members of other groups designated from time to time by the SBA.
In addition, an individual who is not a member of one of the above-named groups may apply for 8(a) certification. However, the applicant must establish social disadvantage on the basis of clear and convincing evidence.
Economically disadvantaged individuals are socially disadvantaged individuals whose ability to compete in the free enterprise system has been impaired due to diminished capital and credit opportunities, as compared to others in the same or similar line of business and competitive market area who are not socially disadvantaged. For purposes of program entry, an individual whose personal net worth (excluding the equity in their personal residence and business) exceeds $250,000 will not be considered economically disadvantaged.
Woman-Owned Businesses [Obama's structural feminists]
A woman-owned business may be recognized as a "socially disadvantaged firm" if the owner is a member of one of the groups for which social disadvantage is presumed. If the woman is not a member of one of the groups for which social disadvantage is presumed, she must establish her individual disadvantage on the basis of clear and convincing evidence that she has suffered discriminatory treatment because of her gender and that this treatment has impeded her entry into or advancement in the business world. SBA will consider any pertinent evidence but will give particular attention to evidence of discriminatory practices suffered in the areas of education, employment and the business world."
