Teenager finds sperm donor dad on internet

Using nothing more than a swab of saliva and the internet, a 15-year-old boy has tracked down his anonymous sperm donor father, according to details released today.

By sending a swab taken from the inside of his cheek for genetic testing, the teenager was able to use genealogy websites to trace his father by looking for men with a matching Y-chromosome, which is passed down the male line.

The genetic detective work has major implications for men who have donated sperm under condition of anonymity and expect their identity to remain secret for ever. The news is expected to lead to a surge of other donor children attempting to find their genetic fathers, according to experts. But the implications stretch beyond the ethical issues surrounding children hunting for their genetic fathers. The boy's ability to use publicly available genetic tests and internet searches suggests that police forces could do the same and obtain the surnames of potential suspects with DNA samples gathered from crime scenes.

The boy took the saliva sample late last year and sent it off to an online genealogy DNA-testing service called Family Tree DNA. For a fee of $289 (£163) the boy had his genetic code available for other members of the site to search.

Although the boy's genetic father had never supplied his DNA to the site, after nine months the boy was contacted by two men who were on the database and whose Y-chromosome matched his own. The two men did not know each other, but shared a surname, albeit with a different spelling, and the genetic similarity of their Y-chromosomes suggested there was a 50% chance that the two men and the boy shared the same father, grandfather or great-grandfather.

The surname was the clue the boy needed. His mother had been told his father's date and place of birth and his degree subject, even though his name remained a secret. With the growing pile of information, the boy turned to another internet service, Omnitrace.com, which he used to buy information on everyone born in the same place and on the same date as his father.

Only one man had the surname he had obtained earlier, and within 10 days the teenager had made contact, amicably, with his genetic father, according to today's issue of New Scientist magazine.

"This is the first time that I know of it being done," said Bryan Sykes, a geneticist at Oxford University and chairman of OxfordAncestors.com, a company that offers genetic testing for ancestry research. "Fifteen years ago, when the father donated his sperm, nobody in the world could have known this would be possible." The news is likely to be unsettling for men who have donated sperm in countries where anonymity is still commonplace, such as the US.

"Sperm banks are recruiting donors and promising them anonymity. I don't think that's a valid promise any more," said Wendy Kramer, founder of Donor Sibling Registry a web-based service that matches donor children with their siblings. Dr Sykes added that his own company was now considering allowing its own databases to be used by children seeking their donor fathers.

Bone marrow donors risk DNA identity mix-up
IT SOUNDS like an open-and-shut case: a clear DNA match is made between semen from a serious sexual assault and a blood sample from a known criminal. Yet in a recent case from Alaska, the criminal in question was in jail when the assault took place. And forensic scientists had already matched the crime sample to the DNA profile of another person who was their prime suspect. It was only after careful detective work that the mystery was solved: the jailed man had received bone marrow from the suspect many years earlier.

Stanhope flags doubts on 'hasty' terrorism bill

ACT Chief Minister Jon Stanhope says he may refuse to sign off on parts of the Federal Government's hasty terrorism bill.

Mr Stanhope published a draft of the controversial laws [draconian laws] on his website on Friday and has refused to take it down despite a directive from the Federal Government.

Under the legislation, people could be jailed for up to seven years for supporting insurgents in countries like Iraq.

The Australian Federal Police will be able to detain people thought to be involved [scapegoats for resource wars in the Middle East] in or have knowledge of a terrorist act. [Occupation, Genocide, Torture, and Human Rights Abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan.]

The proposals were agreed to in-principle [?] by the state and territory leaders at the last Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting.[Not agreed to by the people of Australia.]

But Mr Stanhope says the Federal Government is rushing through the legislation at the expense of the states and territories.

"Law of this significance made in this haste can't be good law," he said.

"The defence of this legislation is very much, 'Well look, the premiers and the chief ministers agreed to this at COAG, it must be alright'.

"I'm not at all amused at being used in that way."

Mr Stanhope says the COAG agreement was a broad one that did not cover all the detail revealed in the legislation.

"I find it simply unacceptable for anybody to suggest that I should put my signature on this draft bill, send it back to the Prime Minister, say 'Yes Prime Minister I agree to this bill'," he said.

"I haven't consulted with the people of the ACT, I haven't taken any expert external advice on the provisions of the bill."

'Crashing through'

He says he plans on writing to other state and territory leaders to raise his concerns and will seek advice from his own Government, the community and legal groups before agreeing to support the changes.

"It's clear to me the Prime Minister doesn't want debate. He doesn't want to have to respond to the critics. He doesn't want to have to explain some of the detail," Mr Stanhope said.

"He simply is intent on crashing through this legislation, with its fundamental implications for civil liberties and human rights, without a need to go through a process of consultation."

When Terrorism Outlaws Democracy
On September 27, 2005, Australian democracy surrendered to terrorism. On that day, a coalition of willing federal and state leaders agreed to anti-terrorism legislation that will enable police persecution of the Muslim community and threaten dissidents with imprisonment.

Australia, with its history of penal colonies, racism and detention centers, is now set to become a police state.

Italy need passport to internet /PH/FX

ITALY: Anyone visiting Italy and wanting to use an internet point, or cafe, will need to take along their passport - and be prepared for a major invasion of their privacy.

Anti-terrorist legislation prompted by the [false flag] London bombings in July imposes a string of new obligations on the managers of businesses offering the public access to communications.

As of this week, they must obtain - and, according to some interpretations, photocopy - the identity documents of anyone wishing to access the internet, send a fax or make a telephone call.

Not only that. They must also supply the police with records of the times at which customers enter and leave the premises and which computers or telephones they use.

Owners now need a licence to run an internet point or call shop, and to get one they have to provide detailed information about their business, including a floor plan of the premises.

Commercial communications centres have repeatedly cropped up in investigations into international terrorism. The first arrests in connection with the 2004 [false flag] Madrid train bombings were [allegedly] made at a call shop in the Lavapies district of the Spanish capital, which has a large immigrant community. France is reportedly planning to introduce similar legislation. [Sure!]

Andrew Pitt from Liverpool, who runs a combined call shop and internet cafe in Venice said his business had already been hit by the Italian law. [State Terror.]

"The problem is that tourists come along without their passports. Today, we have lost at least 15 customers because they didn't have any identification", Mr Pitt said.

"About 70% of our customers are American or British and they're just not used to this sort of thing. Italians don't usually complain because its normal to be asked to provide identification here."

Illegal immigrants in Italy will be deeply reluctant to provide identification, if indeed they have any. Most arrive without passports to ensure they are not repatriated.

An internet point manager in a part of Rome which has a large immigrant population told the daily Corriere della Sera that since the law came into effect about one in five of those entering the premises had refused to provide identification and left. At the city's biggest internet point, a spokesman was quoted as saying he had lost Italian customers too.

But that was because they used the facilities to visit web sites that were "let us say a bit special". [Rubbish!]

Globalists Seek To Sanitize Internet

The Kentroversy Papers

US: For the past four years since 9/11, I have been asked by many people in my own private life if I thought the Internet would be censored in some form.

What has lead people to ask this question are the many truth-telling websites, which are popping up seemingly out of nowhere. Where they were once the brunt of derision, the websites of people like Alex Jones, Jeff Rense, and David Icke now receive millions of hits per month EACH.

It seems that not as many people are mocking the truth these days. The category of patriotic truth-telling websites are now near the top of the offerings of the entire Internet, which I am very pleased to see and be a part.

I began THE KENTROVERSY PAPERS because as a writer and research-journalist, I was not about to sit here and NOT contribute to the enlightenment that is going on these days. If I remained silent, I would be complicit in the continuing cover-up that this group of globalist scum attempt to perpetrate. Not wanting to be a part of the problem, I sought to play a role in the solution.

Recently, I received an e-mail that said:

"...your work consistently turns up heaps of data that gives me pause to re-evaluate a number of my pre-conceptions about the American socio-political-economic landscape that have arisen from ignorance."

When I receive comments such as this, I know that I am successful in helping people to understand the BIG LIE that surrounds us all. THIS is why I do what I do, and this is why I am proud to be included in the continuously growing group of people who are helping others understand the difference between lies and truth.

I see great progress being made, especially in a June 2005 MSNBC poll, which asked: "Do you believe President Bush mislead the nation to go to war with Iraq?" -- where 94% of the respondents felt he LIED, and only 6% believed in his honesty.

But, the results of THAT POLL was never reported on the MSNBC cable news channel itself, and you should be asking yourself WHY.

Even the globalist-controlled establishment media cannot hide the fact that Bush is seen by many, including myself, as simply the worst President of all-time. An AP-Ipsos poll, which was reported on August 5, 2005 by CNN, stated that Bush's approval rating is at 38%, which is the lowest of his entire term thus far. If this represents the true numbers, then I posit a correlation between this number of 38% and the percentage of people still asleep concerning the horrors unfolding in this country at the present time.

Realize that there are a sad minority of people out there STILL believing that Bush is a Christian, even though he has NEVER been seen at any church services, does NOT belong to any church congregation, and didn't attend one single memorial service for any of the 9/11 victims. Even though it has been documented and proven that the Skull & Bones initiation ritual involves homosexual acts in a coffin, and Skull & Bones itself is a part of a larger occult group that calls itself 'The Brotherhood of Death,' there are people still out there trying so desperately to believe that Bush is a Christian -- such is the level of their denial.

This years Bilderberg Group meeting -- which was held on May 5-8, 2005 at the Dorint Softiel Seehotel in Rottach-Egern, Bavaria, Germany -- is notable for it involved a major discussion of the Internet. Brave and honorable patriots such as Alex Jones, Phil Jayhan, Greg Szymanski, and Jeff Rense are squarely in the crosshairs of these globalist scum, who fear what they described in this years meeting as "truth-telling patriots." The Internet is seen as a threat to the globalists, and this is for good reason. For it is the Internet that has been instrumental in waking up tens of millions of people to the fact that these people have an agenda that in no way benefits the people of any nation, and their acting upon this agenda is treasonous, to say the least.

With the Internet viewed as their largest obstacle at this point in time, the Bilderberg Group globalists were seen and heard in this meeting making comments about how the Internet in America must be shut down, and how these "truth-telling patriots" must be stopped at whatever the cost. Forgetting for a moment, the issues related to "free speech and expression," let us take a look at what it is that the globalists view as their largest impediment blocking the full implementation of their agenda of a one-world global government --- their precious new world order, as it were.

When the Internet reached the mass consciousness of our global population in the 1990's, most of what was hyped and promoted was the use of the Internet to procure and obsess over pornography. Pornography has always played a part in the mass acceptance of various technologies -- the VCR in the 1970's and 1980's, the DVD player in the 1990's, and of course, the Internet in the 1990's and beyond. But, pornography and the various other Internet diversions -- such as sports, gambling, and online videogaming did not appeal to everyone.

Some of us who harbor intellectual interests began putting together and disseminating terabytes of research data, and subsequently publishing our own research findings online. Ninety-nine percent of the people who consider themselves Internet researchers -- such as myself -- do not make one single penny doing what they do. I cannot speak for anyone else, but for me, it is a matter of moral imperative. Having a talent for both writing and research, I would be complicit in the cover-up if I did not report on these matters. I leave it to my readers to be their own final arbiters of truth in these matters.

As a matter of fact, many mainstream news publications have been caught misstating the size of their daily readership, as with the recent cases involving the Dallas Morning News and Newsday newspapers. This has an effect on everything from what these papers charge for advertising, to the general reputation and veracity of the publication in its' local community. The so-called alternative news websites of Jeff Rense, Alex Jones, World Net Daily, and NewsMax.com have now become the de facto mainstream press, with MILLIONS of people visiting these sites on a monthly basis. The tens of millions of people who have been awakened to the lies and crimes of the globalists is the reason why the Internet must be stopped.

The domestic terror psychological-operation known as 9/11 actually backfired on the globalist cabal. When a person Googles '9/11' -- they end up with 29,200,000 hits. According to the website called Internet World Stats, the United States has 68.5% Internet penetration, which means that nearly 7 of every 10 people are connected in some way to the Internet. The Internet was instrumental in showing tens of millions of people worldwide the truth behind the 9/11 attacks -- that they were carried out to demolish a building complex that had out-lived its' fiscal usefulness -- and it has to be the largest case of insurance fraud of which I have ever been aware in the history of this nation.

So, how exactly will the Internet become a 'sanitized' gated-community?

There are four primary ways in which this can be accomplished -- and it is my own personal informed opinion that all four techniques will be used simultaneously:

Internet Will Be Used As Part of Terror Attack Against The USA:

This has been shown on the most recent season of the television show '24,' where a rogue terrorist cell had kidnapped the Secretary of State and threatened to broadcast his execution on the Internet, live and in real-time. Just as the X-Files spin-off THE LONE GUNMEN showing a plan to fly a hijacked airliner into the World Trade Center in March 2001, I believe that this fourth season of '24,' which had shown both the Internet being used to carry out a terror attack, AND the launch of a nuclear missile against a major U.S. city. It is my own firm belief that what '24' was truly showing were near-term future events -- just as The Lone Gunmen episode did in March 2001 -- six months before 9/11. Incidentally, the March 4, 2001 date of The Lone Gunmen episode involving an airplane attack on the World Trade Center was exactly 191 days before 9/11 -- and here is yet another example of the 911 signature and numerological coincidence involved with this tragic event.

The Internet involvement in a large-scale terror attack against a major U.S. city will give the neo-con cabal all the pretext it needs to sanitize the Internet once and for all -- which will all be done for our own safety, of course. It will also be hyped as a way of getting rid of junk e-mail spam and viruses, as well as finally creating a 'family friendly' environment for all to enjoy the Internet in peace and complete safety. Any time children are used, or are seen as the motivation for, public action, the sleeping masses go along without questioning the action -- simply because it is being done for the children.

Passage of Hate-Crime Laws and Hate-Speech Laws (thought crimes):

It is important to note that the real reason why hate-crime laws are passed is NOT to protect anyone's religious beliefs, ethnic heritage, or racial identity. This does not mean, however, that religious beliefs, ethnicity, and race are NOT used to enflame such issues. They are all used, which to the typical person who has been trained to accept everything perceived authority figures say, seem like reasonable actions. Why wouldn't any reasonable person want to stop racism, for example?

Most people cannot see these laws for what they really are -- which is to stifle debate or silence a large group of people on a particular subject that has been deemed 'off limits' by the globalists. For instance, recent laws that have been suggested all have one thing in common -- if anyone's writing incites or gives aid to groups who commit violent acts -- that person can be prosecuted under the Orwellian thought-crime laws that are sprouting up throughout the world. The Tony Blair government, at this moment, is planning to roll-out laws that criminalize all criticism of the government and its' policies.

The globalist methodology is to lower the hammer upon an individual or group who is despised by the general population, which elicits the "we didn't need their viewpoint, anyway" response. However, such people do not realize that what is being set up is legal precedence, so while thought-crime laws of today are brought against someone who might be seen as despicable by the mass population, tomorrow, these same laws can be used against anyone else -- all because legal precedence has been established. Today, while these thought-crime laws can be exercised against so-called 'terrorists,' tomorrow, they can and will be used against you or I.

What role the hate-crimes legislation plays in the censoring of the Internet, is to immediately halt all anti-government polemics, replacing them with an Internet that has been 'wiped-clean' and that same Internet will not include people such as Alex Jones, Jeff Rense, Phil Jayhan, Greg Palast, or Greg Szymanski. Furthermore, if the globalists see the Internet as such a threat, that means that we ARE having a positive effect. This is what true patriotism is all about -- and not fear-based enflamed nationalism by placing a red, white, and blue ribbon sticker on my car, as can now be seen on about every fifth car on the roads of this endangered nation.

Taxation of Bandwidth and E-Mail:

This idea has already been put forth in the form of a trial-balloon, and the response by the public was swift and exacting. The globalists will attempt to place so many taxes on Internet usage, that it will become financially difficult for anyone to reach a large audience. People are already paying approximately 60% total tax, once all the sales, income, property, gasoline, cigarette, and all the other various license fees that are paid are added together.

The taxation of either or both bandwidth and e-mail will affect the underlying operation of the Internet, which is access to tremendous libraries of truth at our fingertips. The Project For A New American Century (PNAC) report entitled 'Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces, and Resources For A New Century,' lists as one of its' key findings:

"Control the new 'International Commons' of space and 'cyberspace,' and pave the way for the creation of a new military service -- U.S. Space Forces."

Why PNAC is important is because of WHO belongs to the organization. Examine the following partial list of members, which is found on the PNAC website at the bottom of the Statement of Principles, which was signed on June 3, 1997:

Elliott Abrams (National Security Council)

Gary Bauer (Well-known Christian fundamentalist)

William J. Bennett (Secretary of Education, Drug Czar)

Jeb Bush (Governor of Florida, brother of Bush Jr.)

Dick Cheney (Vice-President under Bush Jr.)

Steve Forbes (Presidential candidate, John Kerry's mother is from Forbes family)

I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby (Dick Cheney Chief of Staff)

Norman Podhoretz (Council on Foreign Relations)

Dan Quayle (Vice-President under Bush Sr.)

Paul Wolfowitz (President of the World Bank)

Also notable about the Rebuilding America's Defenses report of PNAC, is that it may be considered as the Neo-Con statement of intent. Listed in the report, are the following countries, with whom America now has problems -- each one of these countries have been subsequently mentioned in reference to the ongoing stability of American foreign policy:

Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Libya, Syria, and finally China

Careful study of think-tank reports can usually shine a light on the intentions of those in charge -- and this is especially true of this PNAC report in particular.

Many have asked me, "How could the Internet be controlled?"

This is quite easy, actually. It involves the control of something called Internet Domain Name Servers, which I will explain below.

United Nations or USA Control of Domain Name Servers:

Major companies like Cisco and Sun have already said they are not planning on upgrading the domain name servers. This involves something called Internet 2 -- which is the prototype template of the forthcoming 'sanitized' Internet. Both companies claim that demand is far exceeding technology -- and even though the Internet is built upon a network of freely-expanding nodes -- these companies claim they cannot keep up with the "one new blog per second" rapid-fire expansion of the Internet.

All of us are familiar with Internet website nomenclature, e.g. http://www.rense.com, as it is how one travels from one website to the next. It is also how the estimated 8 billion web pages are organized. The naming scheme is controlled by an independent organ called the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). As it explains on the ICANN website, in the 1980's, seven top-level domains were created for Internet addresses. These were: .com, .edu, .gov, .int, .mil, .net, and .org. Of these seven, only .com, .net, and .org could be used without limitation or restriction. The other four were related to government, and as such, had limited and restricted use.

On July 2, 2005, the London Guardian website ran a story that reported that the Bush administration was taking control of the thirteen root servers, which control the domain-name servers, thereby regulating Internet traffic. The reason stated was "growing security threats and the increased reliance on the Internet for global communications." Of course, this is all bogus reasoning -- as it is provable that nearly all of the terror attacks are being done by the host government for fear-based control over their own citizens.

The London Guardian report goes on to say:

Despite many doomsday scenarios, the most recent US decision will have little if any immediate effect on Internet users, and given the Internet's anarchic nature it may simply represent a desire to assert state control even when it is not possible to do so. Claudia Bernett, 32, a digital design analyst in New York, said: "Scary as it seems, because of the nature of the internet, I think they'll be hard pressed to create a coherent system that is capable of the kind of monitoring they hope for ... Eventually, the people participating in the system will find the technological means to evade the watchful eye."

While I would like to believe that the above quote represents truth, my intuition tells me that all mainstream papers have more to gain by lying than they do by telling the truth.

We Need A Napster-Type Application For Future Patriot Communications:

If there are any computer programmers reading this Kentroversy Paper, please understand that once this Internet censoring operation goes into effect, we are going to need some type of Napster-type software to communicate amongst ourselves. This software is going to need to be cross-platform, and it is going to need to encrypt the messages passed between nodes. It should also be able to handle both text and instant messages. I do not know how to do this programming myself, beyond knowing that this type of software application will be needed at such time as this sanitizing does take place.

So, if any programmers are out there reading these words, please consider programming a peer-to-peer cross-platform client for use in future patriot communications once the Internet is closed down to those of us who proudly wear the badge of 'truth-telling patriot.' I would much rather try to preempt some of their plans by bringing up this subject now while we still have some time to develop such a program. Also, this program should be ideally offered as freeware, and the programmers dedication to the future generations of this once-great nation should provide more than enough satisfaction in providing such a tool for use by all dedicated to defeating these globalist scum.

Conclusion:

Internet reporters such as Greg Szymanski and Greg Palast are embarrassing mainstream news reporters -- who should be more correctly known as news-readers -- as none of these people do any real reporting any more, investigative or otherwise. This is contributing to a mass exodus from mainstream to Internet news. The awakening of tens of millions of people to the lies and crimes of the globalist cabal is creating an environment where the Internet itself is being seen as a threat to the furtherance of their agenda -- which has been proven to be an agenda to bring about a one-world government built upon military fascism and iron-fisted control of WE THE PEOPLE.

For those of us who have children -- we are literally fighting for their future. The Internet has opened up people's eyes to home-schooling, to the lies and crimes of the Bush Crime Family, and has provided a community-based connection whereupon many like-minded patriots have been able to realize that we are not as isolated as the mainstream media likes to portray us. In fact, we are now the mainstream of America -- we are winning this battle for the soul of America -- and WE THE PEOPLE will not allow these globalist scum to take away the open communication of the Internet.
