1 in every 2 Gas stations is closed in the New York New Jersey because there is no fuel. Civilian unrest is breaking out and nerves are frayed. People on food stamps can’t buy their meager rations because the cards they use can’t be used without electricity. Dumpster diving and looting are emerging as the […]
Well that didn’t take long did it? A decision will be made in 6 months!!! And while we’re at it why risk a policeman’s life? Might as well arm them and shoot “terrorists” criminals from a distance! New Zealand police are investigating whether to use unmanned aerial vehicles, which would act as spies in the […]
Million of people died in what were called re-education/correctional labour camps in Stalinist Russia and Mao China. They were brutal places for extra judicial punishment for political prisoners so when the term re-education camps show up in an American army manual I think we should take notice. In the most pleasant of descriptions and euphemisms […]
A three year old American kid with a broken leg in a wheelchair is now a legitimate target for the TSA and their groping minions. What gets me is that this guy actually thinks it is OK to grope a kid and the father while filming the incident to spread around no doubt forsakes his […]
A source who wants to remain anonymous has come out of the woodworks with photo’s of a training camp were people were trained by foreign troops in civilian interment exercises. This while: The Department of Homeland Security plans to spend up to $50 million dollars on a spy system that has been used to hunt […]
If you live in the United States of America, you live in a giant prison where liberty and freedom are slowly being strangled to death. In this country, the control freaks that run things are obsessed with watching, tracking, monitoring and recording virtually everything that we do. Nothing is private anymore. Everything that you do […]
Today it was announced that for “minor transgressions your local constable would be the judge jury and executioner. Judging by how little my local constables know about the law and how very petty they are that makes me feel very uncomfortable. How about you? Police officers would become prosecutor and judge, dispensing on-the-spot punishments for […]
On the second of April this year I called 111 because I felt threatened by the handyman of my landlady. He was yelling abuse and showing threatening body language and I was alone and far away from neighbours and help. The case was reffered to the local police station. I was called by the serving […]
Well, we made it to the top 20 police states so this is not surprising. I reckon next year we’ll have gone up another couple of places. The United Nations Committee Against Torture says it is “deeply concerned” about New Zealand police adopting the Taser stun gun, as it releases a growing list of worries […]
Yey, we made it into the top 20 of most monitored police states of the world. That, together with Tasers for all frontline police personnel should make us all feel frightfully safe, eh? A country of no more than 4.3 million people on a surface 6 times the size of Holland which houses more than […]
UK ISPs will be required to hand over records of customers’ internet surfing habits, including IP addresses and times of use, to police and intelligence agencies from Sunday. As part of the EU Data Retention Directive, all ISPs must retain customers’ names, addresses and user IDs, as well as records of email and internet telephony […]
The thinkg with thinking for yourself is the following: If you think for yourself and you come to the conclussion that we the legally elected government might be contemplating anti democratic rule than we would have to register you in our database. Now that is a bad thinkg because if there is ever a demopnstration […]
it’s a good think the assholes that brought you this can buy shares in our privatised prisons so they can wring some more profit out of us. Especially if they start imprisoning the tax dodgers and, the dole bludgers, the homeless and the unemployed for not being able to pay their debt. But don’t worry […]
If this was an exception you might laugh about it because it is too bizarre but it isn’t. When Gary Sanders was pulled over by police he was sure he had done nothing wrong. The company director was obeying the speed limit and not driving dangerously. But to his astonishment he was told he had […]
The next step on the road to total police control in the police state UK. Could up until now citizens protect themselves by chronicling police behaviour with their camera lenses that has changed as of today. The reason? Terrorists might want to photograph policemen for “terrorist” purposes. Huh? If I was a terrorist I would […]
Oh Yeah, tell that to the people who’s privacy was intruded upon. I think a major investigation is called for. Police Commissioner Howard Broad has said he does not believe an inquiry is needed into allegations police have been spying on peaceful protest groups. Mr Broad today met Police Minister Judith Collins who is deciding […]
President Nicolas Sarkozy faced an embarrassing split in his Cabinet today over a computer system that a new French internal intelligence service will use to spy on the private lives of millions of law-abiding citizens. Hervé Morin, the Defence Minister, broke government ranks to side with a growing revolt against Edvige, an acronym for a […]
I sign of things to come in the US. HELENA-WEST HELENA – A neighborhood here is on police lock down, all over a $6, or maybe $8, debt. The feud started earlier this week, when a man recently released from jail refused to pay the money back to a neighbor, residents and authorities said. A […]
And this if from the Mail online, your average mainstream outlet. Feeling safe and well looked after? I sure as shit don’t. Unmanned spy planes could soon be used to carry out covert surveillance on UK citizens, under controversial new Government plans. The MoD is working with defence firm BAE Systems to make so-called UAVs […]
Feeling comfortable and safe knowing robots are the way of the future? I sure as shit don’t. We’ve seen plenty of robot security guards before, but not one quite like this so-called Guardium UGV built by G-Nius, which is apparently just as comfortable going off-road as it is patrolling a parking lot. Unlike some other […]
Undercover Maryland state troopers infiltrated three groups advocating peace and protesting the death penalty — attending meetings and sending reports on their activities to U.S. intelligence and military agencies, according to documents released Thursday. The documents show the activities occurred from at least March 2005 to May 2006 and that officers used false names, which […]
Mark Klein, the retired AT&T engineer who stepped forward with the technical documents at the heart of the anti-wiretapping case against AT&T, is furious at the Senate’s vote on Wednesday night to hold a vote on a bill intended to put an end to that lawsuit and more than 30 others. [Wednesday]‘s vote by Congress […]
Do I need to say more? FISA “Compromise” Completes Transformation of US into Full Police State. On July 9, 2008, the US Congress overwhelmingly passed legislation permitting government spying, including immunity to telecommunications companies involved in secret domestic surveillance programs. With the stroke of George W. Bush’s pen, the US is now a police state […]
“A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a reality contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and deserves the Police State Dictatorship it’s going to get.” — Ian Williams Goddard
It was David Hume’s 1758 Of the First Principles of Government that stated: Nothing appears more surprising to those who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few, and the implicit submission with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of […]
So on order to intercept the one in a billion chance that someone will hijack a plane we will all have to wear these bracelets, to prove we are not hijackers. This strikes me as a very bad idea, how about you? This is the worst air travel security idea I’ve heard of in a […]
