The Terrorist, The Chicken, The Sky and James Bond.

An intriguing title yes? So what does it mean? In the days before the "Bombing Bush" & "Blair the Liar", terrorists were pretty serious in their attacks, had focused targets and were really quite scary. In the helter-skelter pace of today, people don't have much spare time to waste, the same is so, so it would seem, for terrorists. I mean, terrorists used to blow up buildings, try to assassinate high ranking government officials, collect rogue nuclear weapons etc. Now though the best that terrorists can come up with is a Jeep Cherokee with a botched fuel line and poor steering driven into the wall of a decent size, though hardly major, airport and leaving some broken glass. I have heard of downsizing operations and funding cut-backs but seriously, to call this a terrorist attack, bring in an extra 6,000 Police armed with what look like military assault rifles as seen in Iraq is totally ridiculous. Even the neurotic "Chicken Little" who rushed around panicking un-necessarily about the sky falling would probably not even raise an eyebrow over this...if chickens have eyebrows. As for James Bond, well in the good ole days when Bond was Bond, he fought terrorists who were reminiscent of Bush and Blair...deluded ego-maniacs bent on world domination at the very least(though even they had a touch of flair). These days Bond is not Bond, he has been lowered to fighting drug dealers and what is essentially little more than street crime once tackled by your friendly typical Bobby.

While I agree that there is a substantial terrorist risk facing Britain at the moment I must, and you should, question it's origins, motives and vehicle. We are "mostly" intelligent people with the ability to think, reason and analyse what goes on around us and react accordingly. The problem facing a democratic Britain is that the public are not exercising their "intelligence" quite to the degree that they should be.

I draw your attention to a comment I made recently in the Bournemouth Echo. It is as follows;

" 04 July 2007 11:43
What we need to be vigilant about when it comes to modern day terrorism is the fact that it is both implemented and actioned by left-wing extremist governments. Left-wing politics has experienced a shift so far to the left now that what was once right-wing is now merely where the left-wing extremists of today were in days gone by…or to simplify that statement, Anglo/American/Israeli governments have shifted to the left beyond reason.

When I saw the images in "The Scotsman" yesterday of Police, armed to the hilt with assault rifles among the general public it terrified me. All you need is for one nutter copper to panic and start firing rounds into the crowds and you have a major disaster. The images I saw in other articles around the globe yesterday were reminiscent of those submitted by former and fallen comrades in Iraq and Afghanistan. I look around the UK and no longer see a democracy, I see a country under occupation, not unlike Nazi Germany in WWII or what is about to very possibly likely to shortly become another Iraq, but without the oil.

The US government, the British government, MI5, as well as the police all claim and admit to having prior knowledge of last weeks Glasgow incident for two weeks…that is fourteen days! Now they must have been able to easily track from their informer the identities, locations and the likes of the potential culprits and their factions as well as the time scheduled for the attack with at least a couple of hours slack either side. The Police set-up road blocks etc after the incident. If this incident was deemed as potential and was beyond MI5's skills even though they had all the pieces then perhaps they should have "passed the parcel" up to MI6.

The Police are about to embark on a Nationwide program of having communities watch each other for suspicious activities and if the paranoid neighbours see anything odd in their neighbours and friends behaviour they should report it to the police. This is not helpful, it is merely divisive of communities who have functioned well for centuries and others who have already been driven to breaking point by this Labour government under Blair.

Whether you want to dismiss this comment as a delusional conspiracy theory or accept it as the truth you must admit my points are valid. The government, by bringing more weapons into a society allegedly under attack all of a sudden will only counter an emotionally stable public and drive the level of fear and paranoia higher. Democracy is based on the concept of the people electing a government to represent their interests and refrain from interference with the publics basic freedoms. Not only has the Blair/Bush government slashed public freedoms to less than that of those in our prisons, but it has also interfered with democratically elected foreign governments and crippling them until the government sought by Blair/Bush has been installed, but most of us already are aware of this. The UK and the US are in the grips of a dictatorship more powerful than anything previously seen anywhere in history."

Your democratically government(or they claim they are), are there to be questioned by the people who voted them in to represent them. Question them, dig deeper and if they refuse to answer reasonable questions without a valid reason then you either accept that they dictate to you, or have them replaced for failing to do their duty. Remember, they work for you.

To finish up, here is a picture from "The Scotsman". But don't forget the Police roadblocks, doctors being interrogated and tourists forced to queue for hours outside airports, line taps, surveillance cameras, stop-n-search, censorship of the press and media, detention without charge, the right to protest in certain area's only and then only if permission has been granted...If this is a democracy, thank the gods we don't live in an evil dictatorship where there are few civil liberties.
