The British Military on UFOs – Nick Pope with Major Milton Torres (USAF, ret.) LIVE

Nick Pope worked at the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense. He’s undertaken a series of jobs within the Department, including work in the Joint Operations Centre during the Gulf War, where he was a briefer in the Air Force Operations Room. He was involved in work on the crises in Bosnia and Kosovo. He was a Senior Executive Officer, which is a civilian grade equivalent to the military rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He left the employ of the MoD in 2006 and now does private research. Between 1991 and 1994, Nick was posted to a division called Secretariat (Air Staff) and given the job of researching and investigating the UFO phenomenon, mirroring the work done in the US by the Air Force’s Project Blue Book in the 1960’s. Although many of the cases could be explained as misidentifications of known objects and phenomena, a hard core of sightings defied any conventional explanation. Strong evidence emerged suggesting the presence of structured craft capable of speeds and maneuvers beyond the capability of even the most advanced prototype craft operated by the Royal Air Force or the United States Air Force. Nick Pope’s unique access to new data and previous government files convinced him the UFO phenomenon raised serious defense and national security issues. There were numerous instances where UFOs had been tracked on radar, leading to jets being scrambled. There were also cases with terrifying near-misses between UFOs and civilian aircraft. All this led him to believe that an …

www.euronews.net I-talk host Alex Taylor asks: “Since the Second World War, justice has become an international affair, war criminals are tried for crimes not only against their victims, but also for crimes against humanity. But are the cases that bring these criminals to justice effective? And are they really objective? Your questions today to Serge Brammertz, Prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia who joins us from The Hague.” ‘Mr Brammertz, hello, thank you for joining us. So you are ready to respond to questions from viewers of euronews?” Serge Brammertz: “Hello” Alex Taylor: “First question on I-talk to Serge Brammertz.” “Hello, my name is Miriam. I’m from Belgium. Do you have the legal right to judge all criminals throughout the world? Who has the power to ask you to intervene?” Serge Brammertz: “Yes the Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia has jurisdiction limited to the territories of the countries of the former Yugoslavia. The Tribunal was established in 1993 by the Security Council to prosecute and try those responsible for crimes of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in the territories of the former Yugoslavia.” Alex Taylor: “Who can ask you to intervene an individual, a State?” Serge Brammertz: “No, actually, as this court is an offshoot of the Security Council, theoretically, there is an obligation for all UN member countries to cooperate with our Tribunal, but at the point of referral. It is the …

Lecture Exposes Major Religious Problems for Africans and African Americans

Lecture Exposes Major Religious Problems for Africans and African Americans










Tampa, FL (PRWEB) April 16, 2009

Norman R. Allen, Jr. will present his findings at John F. Germany Public Library, (downtown Tampa), 900 N Ashley Dr, Tampa FL 33602 on Saturday, April 18, 11:00–1:00; doors open at 10:30.

Is Religion Pushing Africans and African-Americans into Superstition & Ignorance? Has the economic downturn, badly hitting African Americans, increased a desperate, wishful turn to religion rather than intelligence and real-world solutions?

Norman R. Allen, Jr., founder and executive director of African Americans for Humanism, has traveled extensively across Africa and the U.S., and bears a disturbing message. He has been asking, “What effects are religion, especially literalistic and conservative religious tenets, having on blacks around the world? Are the clear anti-science, anti-medicine, anti-thinking trends in both Africa and across the African-American communities the result of religion? Does religion promote the spread of AIDS? Does Humanism stand out in combating these movements into ignorance and superstition?”

In Tampa, on April 18, Norm Allen will report his findings about organized humanism and skepticism on the African continent, and the challenges that pro-science activists there face. He discovered numerous religious and superstitious obstacles to the teaching of good science. Allen analyzed what African humanists and skeptics are doing to defend and promote a reason-based worldview.

Norm Allen also explored some of the challenges in advancing science and secularism within the African American community. “There is a strong pressure to conform to the religious ideal among various black skeptics and atheists, including many historical African American figures.” He doubts that religion remains a liberating force for African Americans. “Allen says, “Many anti-science trends are growing in the Black community, including those coming from Black entertainment outlets promoting anti-science such as psychic 900 lines, televangelists and belief in prophecy.” He ties all of this together in an exploration of religion and secularism as they relate to political activism, including the influence of high-profile Black preachers, such as Reverend Jeremiah Wright, President Barack Obama’s spiritual advisor.

Profile:

Norman R. Allen, Jr. is the executive director of African Americans for Humanism, an educational organization primarily concerned with fostering critical thinking, ethical conduct, church-state separation, and skepticism toward untested claims to knowledge among African Americans.

In addition to his work with African Americans for Humanism, Norm Allen is the director of the Center for Inquiry/Transnational Programs. He is the editor of the ground-breaking book “African-American Humanism: An Anthology”, the “AAH Examiner”, and Deputy Editor of “Free Inquiry” magazine.

Allen has traveled and lectured widely throughout North America, Europe, and Africa, and he has spoken on numerous radio and television programs. His writings have been published in scores of newspapers throughout the U.S. and have appeared in such books as Culture Wars and the National Center for Science Education’s Voices for Evolution.

Lecture sponsor Center for Inquiry Tampa is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is “To promote and defend reason, science, and freedom of inquiry in all areas of human endeavor.” CFI organizations publish Skeptical Inquirer and Free Inquiry magazines.
