An Israeli security firm has been chosen to provide security for London's
Underground train network

VERINT Systems, a subsidiary of Israel's Comverse Technology announced that
Metronet Rail has selected Verint's networked video solution to enhance security
of the London Underground, according to an Israel21c report.

After extensive testing of Verint's networked video system, including pilot
installation on selected rail lines, Metronet Rail selected it to be installed
on the entire Underground. The system will enable security personnel to monitor
passenger platforms and certain remote portions of the track.

Verint president and CEO Dan Bodner told Israel21c: "We have significant
experience working with transportation authorities and are committed to
delivering innovative networked video security solutions for the transportation
industry."

Metronet Rail, under a 30 year contract with the UK government, is responsible
for maintaining parts of the London Underground's infrastructure. This includes
ensuring security in trains, stations, tunnels and bridges.

The London Underground handles more than 3 million passengers each day, making
it one of the busiest transportation systems worldwide.

David Irving comments:

LOOK who has the security contract for the London Underground -- the same folks
who "lost" the CCTV footage of a plain clothes Metropolitan Police officer
executing what turned out to be an innocent young man. And if Rodney King got a
big handout from the Los Angeles taxpayers for what their cops did to him, we
can only guess what this little episode is going to cost us Londoners. There's
going to be dancing in the streets of that little village in Brazil, once the
mourning period is over. Unfortunately, the people who are still the root cause
of the world's terrorism get off Scot free. Every time I, and thousands like me,
stand in security lines at airports around the world I remark to all those
around me, "We have Israel to thank for this"-- meaning the Israel that has
inflicted mindless bestiality on the citizens of the territories they have
seized and heartlessly plundered since the middle of the last century. So I
blame, not those who plant the bombs, but those who first started this terrible
cycle of violence.

ans now this. It must makes us all feel really safe to know that a Mossad-front
organisation of the same "sh*tty little country" -- to quote the former French
ambassador to London -- which is at the root of all the world's terrorism
problems, and which until recently handled all the major government wiretapping
contracts in the United States, will also now have the right to acquire and
archive high-definition video images of every ordinary citizen lawfully
traveling around London. Soon Israel and The Mossad can lawfully record where he
is going, which doors he is entering, what credit card numbers he punches into
ATM machines, and whom he is with. The sooner some non-terrorist means is found
of hurling out into Downing Street the present Loony-Tunes occupants of Number
Ten, the better: because if they don't recognize the devils they have clambered
into bed with by now, we certainly do.

From Alex Jones at Stockwell:

As we were filming the floral tributes and placards at Stockwell (pictured), a police officer walked behind me and gave me a less than polite firm hand on the shoulder. "Can you come with me please," he barked.

He proceeded to take Alex's details and informed us that we should have asked for his permission before we filmed. We then asked for his permission and he said no. We were not even filming the police, we were filming the tribute display. So here we were in a city where four million cameras scrutinize our every movement (pictured) and yet we are accosted by the police when we try to film some flowers. Is that a free country?
