'There is no war on terror'

[realityhack]

The anti-libertarian laws pushed by this government are mostly to cope with problems of their own creation (Iraq) or quite pointless (why have ID cards to detect illegal migrants if when they are found you rarely deport them anyway?).

Why, you could almost believe they were exacerbating issues to create an excuse to curtail liberties and therefore, have more power over the ~&*@#%$ idiots that keep on electing them in.

But hey - I'm no conspiracy theorist.

Curious, isn't it, that our own government has adopted the tactics of the Bader-Meinhof group. Generate enough terror, and the people will beg the state to take away their liberties (with guidance on how to acheive this being provided by the same State, of course).

Of course the second part of the Bader-Meinhof strategy, which they never got to implement, all being in gaol or dead, was that the people would eventually realise that they were now being oppressed, and would rise up and destroy the state (with guidance on how to acheive this being provided by the Bader-Meinhof group, of course).

Then the glorious anarchist errrr, non-state would arise and liberate the people from the oppression of being organised, or having to wash every day, or something

Quite like the second bit - though the anarchy stuff never seems to work in a group any bigger than two people.

many now believe it is OK for suspects to be questioned by police with no representation and that it is not a big deal if we get wrong convictions.

Yeah, it's all okay until it's you that's wrongly convicted.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

The Emperor has no clothes.... particularly not the prohibitionist Septics and their totally ineffective so called self styled "war on drugs".

More likely ZG ate Chico and absorbed some of his so-called self-styled "personality".
