Denmark Approves Controversial Law Seizing Asylum Seekers’ Valuables.

By -



Lawmakers approved the legislation on Tuesday to seize valuables and cash from asylum seekers. The valuables may be seized to cover the expenses of the refugees. The law had huge support in the parliament. Eighty-one people voted in favour, 27 against and one abstained.
The “jewellery bill” will allow authorities to seize valuables worth more than 10,000 Danish kroner ($2,075). Denmark has a tradition of being liberal, promoting democratic values. It has immediately been criticised for passing such a law.
Amnesty International was quick to slam the law.
“It’s simply cruel to force people who are running from conflicts to make an impossible choice: either bring children and other loved ones on dangerous, even lethal journeys, or leave them behind and face a prolonged separation while family members continue to suffer the horrors of war,” said Gauri van Gulik, Amnesty International’s deputy director for europe and central asia.
The director added, “Separation can have a devastating impact on families, including their rehabilitation from experiences of trauma and their ability to integrate and adapt to life in a new country.”
According to the law, computers, mobile phones and watches can be seized. However, items with sentimental value will be exempted. Such items include “wedding rings, engagement rings, family portraits, decorations and medals, and the like.”

The aforementioned items won’t be seized since those “cannot normally be replaced by a newly purchased item.”
The law is applicable to refugees who are already in Denmark. It is expected to pressure all EU countries. Still, the government decided to go with the law since it is expected to “tighten Danish refugee policies.”

“A too high number of refugees puts pressure on the Danish society and makes it more difficult to ensure a successful integration of those who come to Denmark,” the government statement says.

INDIA WON’T SUPPRESS TEWARI’S FREE ENERGY GENERATOR.

India considers its own free energy program a matter of national pride, and is very much willing to risk antagonizing Petrodollar countries with its support on Reactionless AC Synchronous Generator (RLG) invented by its own Paramahamsa Tewari, an electrical engineer and former Executive Director of Nuclear Power Corporation of India. Years ago, Tewari had also proven the theories inside Bruce de Palma’s homopolar engine which first exposed this writer to the world of free energy technologies. Obviously, a country cannot implement its own free energy program without considering all possible consequence including a military response from Petrodollar countries, e.g. Saudi Arabia, UK, US. That’s why India has been aligning its own military program with that of Russia which at present is standing up, together with the BRICS countries, against the Nazionist cabal that is imposing all sorts of sanctions to destroy the Russians. The BRICS alliance has in the past promised to rele

Google Earth discovers stone gates in Saudi Arabia: Precursor to more mysterious civilization?

Saudi Arabia is widely considered a barren desert in the ancient ages, but a new discovery hints that the country was home to various archeological sites in the past which are yet to be discovered. A study conducted with the help of Google Earth has discovered ancient giant stone gates in Saudi Arabia, supposedly the remnants of an ancient civilization. With the help of Google Earth imagery, scientists have discovered more than 400 stone gates which were not documented before in the country. David Kennedy, the researcher at the University of Western Australia said that these stone structures will not be visible at the ground level, but once we move up a few hundred feets, these stone gates stand out beautifully lined up. He added that the gates will be visible in satellite images too. "I refer to them as Gates because when you view them from above they look like a simple field gate lying flat, two upright posts on the sides, connected by one or more long bars," said

Google has patented the ability to control a robot army.

                                                  US PATENT & TRADEMARK OFFICE After getting a patent for giving robots personalities last month, Google now wants to unleash an army of   Rodney Dangerfield bots   on the world.   In a   patent awarded  today, the company outlines a system for “allocating tasks to a plurality of robotic devices.” This sounds innocuous enough—it could mean linking a series of factory robots together, or perhaps a gaggle of Roombas to clean a large house—but the potential is much greater. Google’s patent outlines methods for connecting a series of robots over the cloud to complete tasks, but it doesn’t put a limit on how many robots could be managed at once. The patent suggests that the robots could be controlled by a smartphone—Google’s mobile operating system is called Android, after all—with tasks doled out based on each robot’s ability to complete them. Someone could theoretically control the botswarm from anywhere in the world. As the pa
