Why Is Britain Being Prepared For A World War?By Graham Vanbergen DORA gave the government the power to prosecute anybody whose actions were deemed to jeopardise the success of the operations of His Majestys forces or to assist the enemy. By its nature, this gave the act a very wide interpretation. It regulated virtually every aspect of the British home front and was expanded as the war went on. At the time, people were banned from loitering near bridges or tunnels or from lighting a bonfire. Whistling in a cab was made illegal in case it was mistaken for an air raid warning. Pub opening hours were reduced as was the alcohol content in drinks. Some regulations were never changed after the war.Clocks were moved forward to gain maximum working hours from the workforce and drug possession of opium and cocaine became a criminal offence unless you were a professional such as a doctor. Then came the propaganda machine.Press censorship was introduced, severely limiting the reporting of war news. Warrantless domestic surveillance started with mass inspection of private correspondence through the mail and telegrams.DORA put restrictions on the movement of foreign nationals from enemy countries. The freedom of such aliens was severely restricted, with many interned. Contentious objectors to conscription led tolocal tribunals being set up especially to identify those unwilling to fight. This was the targeting of opponents to war andusually ended in service on the front-line or jail. Many objectors sent to prison were treated poorly with the first month in solitary confinement, given just bread and water and were more often than not re-arrested once released for desertion, court-martialed and returned to prison. Somewere given a regiment, taken to France, away from home soil and then shot. For some, years in prison was endured without access to newspapers, books, calendars and very limited visits. The primary cause of death in prison for these people was psychological more than physical. Rendition, harsh detention, interrogation,torture of war prisoners and extra-judicial killings were all too common in the backdrop of global conflict. Britain covered up these acts as she was fighting a clean and just war. Habeas Corpus was suspended along with other restrictions on free speech and public meetings.Internment detention without charge was employed in World War I and II. Wartime domestic propaganda made it all too plain that a person was either with the national effort or against it and persecution of war critics became commonplace. Civil liberties are basic rights and freedoms granted to citizens through national common or statute law.They include freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom from arbitrary arrest, freedom of assembly, freedom of association and freedom of religious worship. Such rights and freedoms form the basis of a democratic society and are often denied to those living in a dictatorship, or as we have just seen, in emergency situations such as national security but only when your country is being invaded by a foreign force. So why is it that our government seeminglypreparing us for a large-scale war with continual erosion of civil liberties that require thecomponents and measures of a dictatorial leadership such as in an emergency situation. Without being threatened by an invading force of any type, the British government, along with its Western counterparts, particularly America and France are imposing warrantless mass surveillance, deploying the illegal strategies of kidnappings and rendition, complicity in torture and for the first time since the WorldWar, extra-judicial murder of its own citizens. We have also recently witnessed the beginnings of identificationof war critics with David Camerons recent and extreme terrorist sympathisers accusations in parliament. Today, you can be arrested without charge and held by police for 28 days in a cell. This capabilityby government was not legally available for any more than 24 hours until recent years. Control Orders passed in the Terrorism Act 2006 meant anybody suspected of terrorist related activities (a broad definition at best) by the Home Secretary, without any kind of trial, can be electronically tagged and monitored, restricted from using the internet or making phone calls and have a passport revoked and be under a duty to report to the police. They are effectively interned. Never in the UK have we hadsecret courts. Today we do. If a citizen decides to take the British government or any of its officials to court in cases of torture, rendition, or a whole host of other reasons, many nothing to do with terrorism or acts of war, the government now has the ability to present evidence to the judge which the claimant, defendant, media and public will never be privy to. In addition, the citizen in this case may wellbe subject to illegal deep surveillance to subvertjustice in the governments favour as admitted by the security services as routine interception of legally privileged communications. The Public Order Act seeks only to undermine the right to peaceful protest.The Serious and Organised Crime and Police Act grants a number of powers to police aimed atprotesters. The result is thatit is now impossible to protest outside Britainsparliament without being arrested. Agents provocateur are routinely deployed by the authorities to cause trouble at protest meetings to generate a violent reaction that causes unjustified arrests. The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 allowed the government full surveillance powers over all kinds of communications and population control measures such as using the Act to arrest people for parking offences, non-payment of BBC TV licence, dog fouling and even under-age use of sun-beds. Tens of thousands of warrants designed to catch terrorists have been issued for petty offences. The streets of Britain is now home to 4 million CCTV cameras watching theevery move of its citizens, more than in China. Arrests as a direct result of CCTV footage amounts to less than one per day. Political dissent is being met with arrest as seen when a woman was apprehendedforprotesting against cuts to disability benefits. For that, she was convicted, received a criminal record and a fine under Public Order laws for shouting Cameron has blood on his hands while the Prime Minister turned on the Christmas lights in her town. The government isacting as though a foreign invading force is marching towards our shores. There are now countless reports in the alternative media of threats to Britains democracy whilst the mainstream press regurgitates political propaganda on a scale not seen since the illegalinvasion of Iraq by Blair and Bush. As democratic audit has already warned, Britains democracy isin long-term terminal decline There is a battle of supremacy going on inSyria involving the global super-powers. David Cameron has dragged the country intofighting its fourth war in a little over a decade whichthey now predict will last for years. Russia and China may well beour opponents in the coming fog of war. Ground troops from many nations are heading that way right now. Turkey has just proved that a global conflict is but one act of stupidity away from catastrophe. Iraq has now asked Russia to expel Turkeys troops and war planes from its land. Israel has just started bombing Syria, even Germany wants to send its special forces ground troops. What next? You can read more from Graham Vanbergen at his site TruePublica.org.uk In any truly free society rights and freedoms are not granted by law, they are protected by law How ironic that youre citing mainstream media sources for Germany wanting to send ground troops. The reality is that about one third of Germanys parliamentarians recently voted against joining the US-led military campaign in Syria, and it wont be conducting any airstrikes over Syria. The majority of the German population do not want to join in this war. Who initiated this sudden rush within major NATO governments to get parliamentary blank checks for waging a long war on Syria? The German government turned on a dime from no military intervention in Syria ever to lets wage a war of terror on Syria without any backing from the UN or international law. .. Who initiated this? Said Erdogans advisor, Burhan Kuzu: The EU finally got Turkeys message and opened its purse strings. What did we say? Well open our borders and unleash all the Syrian refugees on you, Kuzu stated in his controversial tweet (EU bows to Turkeys threat on refugees says Erdoan advisor, Todays Zaman) Blackmail is the reason for the sudden rush to war. http://www.globalresearch.ca/erdogan-blackmails-nato-allies/5493354 If I cant find any more nuanced reporting on selfnews Post than in the MSM, whats the point of coming here?

To do the will of God means not to cheat, nor to steal, nor to lie, nor to hate, nor to be jealous ; but to be of service to humanity, to give forth good counsel, to cheer the fallen, and to give love to all those that need it.
