Authoritarian Rule Britannia

As government pushes Britain towards surveillance police state the

next Prime Minister lauds over glorious heritage of freedom

 

Steve Watson | February 14 2006

 

The nations not so blest as thee,

Shall in their turns to tyrants fall;

While thou shalt flourish great and free,

The dread and envy of them all.

 

Rule Britannia!

Britannia rule the waves.

Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

 

Thomas Augustine Arne, 1740

 

Britain is currently teetering on the brink of a huge political shift.

As far as the Blair era has gone in transforming this country into a

paranoid, uncommunicative, culturally starved, spin controlled

Orwellian style authoritarian state, things are about to be taken to a

whole new level.

 

Yesterday was a brutal indicator of what Britons should expect

politically over the next decade, with a crucial vote on ID

legislation and a key speech by the next leader in waiting, Gordon Brown.

 

As the current British government is now the key Ally of the

Straussian killing machine that has usurped control over the American

people, I urge true patriotic Americans to take a look now at what is

happening here over the pond and heed this warning from a concerned

patriotic Briton seeing his country further usurped by tyrannical

bureaucrats.

 

COMULSARY ID CARDS

 

The Government was accused last night of planning " backdoor

compulsion " for identity cards despite promising MPs that fresh

legislation would have to be introduced first.

 

MPs also voted, by a majority of 51, in favour of making it compulsory

as of 2008 for citizens to register their personal and biometric

details on the National Identity Register, when applying for or

renewing " designated " documents such as a passport. This rejected a

House of Lords amendment to make ID card take-up voluntary when people

get a new passport.

 

Last month we told you that this would happen, even though the

mainstream media was running with the headlines " DEFEAT FOR GOVERNMENT

ON ID CARDS " .

 

This basically equates to not only ENFORCED ID card carrying, but also

a government owned biometric database, containing scans of everyone's

fingerprints and Iris patterns.

 

The Identity Cards Bill also gives the Home Secretary the power to

make regulations under which, in future, access to public services

will be conditional on producing an ID card.

 

In this sense the ID card will quickly become compulsory when the

people of Britain discover that access to anything from medical care

to public transport will be impossible without your biometric card.

 

Shadow home secretary David Davis described the scheme as one of

" covert and creeping compulsion "

 

The ID card along with the database represent a major shift into the

police state here in Britain. Five years ago people were saying

Britons would never allow ID cards to become a reality, now they ARE

reality. the government is putting them through slowly slowly, piece

by piece in a stepping stone fashion because they know if they made it

clear what they were doing, the vast majority of people in this

country would be up in arms.

 

A BBC poll yesterday indicated that 75% oppose UK ID Cards on security

grounds.

 

We have previously exposed how the government told us that the ID card

would make our information more secure, yet they propose paying for it

by selling the information of 44 million British citizens to private

companies. How secure is that?

 

ID cards will not stop terrorism. Even the Home Secretary Charles

Clarke admitted it after the London bombings.

 

Top criminologists have gone public to say that ID cards will actually

result in an increase in identity theft, not a decrease as the

government claims.

 

The system is purely about authoritarian control over the citizens of

this country. EVERY argument that the government makes for ID cards is

pure hogwash, they even admit it themselves. ID cards will have the

polar opposite effect to what the government says will happen. the

only logical explanation left as to why the government is so

determined to get ID cards through parliament is that they want total

control over the population of this country.

 

GORDON BROWN: THE NEXT PRIME MINISTER IS " BLAIR ON STEROIDS "

 

The British people have long had it drilled into their minds that the

Prime Minister after Tony Blair will be Gordon Brown. It has been

widely reported by every major media outlet and is well known within

government that the pair have established a " working assumption " that

would enable Mr Brown to take over the reins. A television drama was

even made about the so called " deal " made between the two before Blair

became Prime Minister.

 

The deal is due to take place any time now.

 

Gordon Brown, the current chancellor of the Exchequer, has been the

financial brainpower behind the New Labour agenda since it was kick

started by globalist connections in the early 1990s. He is and always

has been personally determined to be Prime Minister of Britain though,

many believe every decision he has taken as chancellor has been with

his prime ministerial ambition in mind.

 

As a young politician Brown was a staunch Socialist within the

Scottish Labour party. When John Smith became leader of the Labour

Party shortly before his premature death, he appointed Brown as Shadow

Chancellor. Smith was a member of the steering committee, the inner

core of the Bilderberg Group. He got Gordon Brown invited to the 1991

Bilderberg meeting where he was effectively groomed along with Blair

as the next big thing in British politics. Incidentally this was the

same meeting at which Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton was in

attendance, he became President a matter of months later.

 

Brown has also, as far back as 1998 been listed in the " Global Leaders

group " at the World Economic forum (otherwise known as the DAVOS

group) . He has often been touted for high ranking IMF positions.

 

Brown was a traditional Labour figure, the economic spokesman who

doesn¹t know much about economics. He took on an advisor - Ed Balls, a

Financial Times leader writer - an ideologist for globalization, in

effect - who learned his economic trade at Harvard. Balls is a regular

Bilderberg attendee, his name can be found on the attendance lists

almost every year since 2001. Brown soon started going to New England

regularly for his summer holidays and became a true believer in the

the neo-liberal line from Harvard - Globalization, the Washington

consensus.

 

It seems now that Brown's takeover from Blair is in effect. He has

started concentrating less on his role as chancellor and more on over

all policy. Yesterday, at a major speech at the Royal United Services

Institute in London, Brown demonstrated his " personal commitment " to

tough anti-terrorism laws by calling for the police to be allowed to

hold terrorist suspects for longer than 28 days.

 

The Government's attempt to introduce a maximum 90-day period for

which suspects could be held without charge was rejected by Parliament

last year. Instead MPs approved a doubling of the current 14-day

maximum. Again the stepping stones method in use.

 

Mr Brown also said biometrics would soon be used in banks and

supermarkets, and that it made sense to extend the use of the

technology into the public sector for use in an ID scheme.

 

Brown hideously even quoted George Orwell, to equate these

authoritarian ideas with the struggle for freedom: " writing in the

thirties, at democracy's darkest hour in Europe, when the threat was

fascism, " the thing that I saw in your face no power can disinherit,

no bomb that ever burst shatters the crystal spirit " .

 

Brown continually equated 7/7 with 9/11 as historical turning points,

even though on 7/7 the attack in London was on a very small scale with

only around 50 fatalities.

 

In perhaps the most hypocritical fashion you can imagine, though

continuing the Blair like use of newspeak and spin, the next Prime

minister is also heavily drawing on British heritage, defence of hard

earned freedom and dignified British military history. Yet he is doing

so in order to tout prison without trial, biometrics, ID cards and

citizen databases.

 

Brown announced that the Treasury will allocate £1.5 million from the

proceeds from the coin celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Battle

of Trafalgar to help fund a memorial in Staffordshire for the men and

women in our armed forces who have given their lives.

 

He also proposed ceremonies in every constituency and locality of the

country to mark national Veterans' Day.

 

And to involve young people more in celebrating the contribution of

British armed forces, he wants to allow PRIVATE firms to help state

schools pay to set up their own military cadet forces.

 

The full speech can be found here

 

Columnist Brendan O'Neill sums up the shift from Blair to Brown and

the turn in British politics quite neatly,

 

" Brown wants to go a step further than Blair in ratcheting up fear of

an overblown terror threat and reorganising British politics and

society around suspicion and security. In short, he plans to apply the

accountant's instinctive caution to life, liberty and politics in the

twenty-first century, which is likely to make even the Blair era look

like a hotbed of political principle. "

 

Blair and Bush were just the faces and names required to initiate the

open revelation of the authoritarian agenda to the world, the next

US/UK pairing, whether it be Brown/Clinton or Brown/Rice (The high

fibre option), will be a slicker and cleverer operation conducted with

stealth like efficiency.
