When I was younger, and considerably more naive than I am now, I bought the line that the US and Britain had scored a great result for 'freedom and fairness', after the fall of the demonised Third Reich.
I believed that this 'victory' represented many things, including an end to a hierarchy who became so remote and unaccountable for their actions, that they were no longer a public arm, working for the public good, but a sinister secret service, engaging in dubious actions, and inventing new laws that had the end result of being punative to a give group or opinion.
I can see now that what I believed was simply propaganda itself.
An illusion.
WW2
wasn't the battle of good and evil, as sold to us when young, because the numerous evils that British and US elites have made possible, ordered and sanctioned since then, have been every bit as evil or demented as Nazi idealogy.
When I heard of the 'Gestapo' as a kid, I had a mental image of men in suits, arriving at people's homes, at 5am.
They would take them away.
The person would have no legal rights, visitors, and would often be culpable of no crime that could be evidenced.
The state of civilised Germany simply wanted that person gone.
And this happened.
And, of course, any right minded person would see how fundamentally wrong that is.
And yet, the same people who nod at how wrong
that would be, they are either blind or brainwashed to the many stealth laws and bills that have been snuck through Parliment, while the nation has been watching reality television.
My guess would be that the largest % of British are not even aware to what extent new powers, and rather disconcerting one's at that, have been handed over to often the same sources that routinely lie to us, on all other key matters.
In modern Britain, the secret services and the police, they literally copy what I said in my opening paragraph.
If they decide they want to take you, they
take you.
If they evoke new legislation, they can take you right to prison, not a police cell, they can keep you there without charge, they can refuse to tell you what the evidence of whatever the allegation is, against you.
They will keep you kidnapped without trial or proof of any crime, 23 hours a day, year after after year.
And lest you come back out, at their behest, your misery may not end there. They evoke
another special clause that does not permit you visitors, net access, a mobile phone, and you must, almost Orwellian style, call a central control, both at 3am then again at 7am, so they can control you.
Remember, this is NOT paedophiles or convicted rapists or sex offenders we are speaking of, who have had a trial, with evidence, and facts put forward, as well as a defence.
It is important to remember that.
This is agents who are part of a system known to lie to us, deciding that they do not need to engage in the very laws and process that is there to protect us all from future abuses.
If you feel apathetic about this, remember that history will show you that these kinds of laws are nearly always abused, and they are nearly always extended, until one day, it is YOU they are effecting.
If you feel that in order for 'our' Gov's to do such things, there must be some really special reason, because our Gov's are just so honest, reliable, and truthful. Aren't they? Must those that the Gestapo and other secret police took away, must they have all been guilty of some terrible crime? Or were they victims of power gone mad?
