David Cameron: 911 Truth is an 'ideology of extremism' and compared to ISIL

_http://themindunleashed.org/2014/09/uk-prime-minister-thinks-911-truthers-eradicated-un.html

David Cameron recently delivered a massive dose of propaganda to the people of the UK and the world, perpetuating a philosophy of violence against peaceful people and relentless aggression.

This is synonymous with a declaration of war upon activists.In a recent speech addressed to the UN, he said “non violent extremism” is as dangerous as violent terrorism, and must be eradicated using every weapon at any government’s disposal.

This could be considered a declaration of war upon anyone representing ideas that are inherently against the philosophy of government, power structures, centralized power and currency. This should make you sick to your stomach.

This representative of death and wars of aggression even went as far as to reference 9/11 truthers. He basically said he wishes to ‘eradicate’ 9/11 truthers, while acknowledging that these tactics would clearly be in violation of freedom of speech. That includes the family members of actual victims of 9/11, who want a real investigation. That includes so many good, honest, hard working people. That number includes over 2,000 architects and engineers that want an independent investigation into 9/11.

I truly cannot think of a more disgusting, aggressive, thuggish, socio-psychopathic thing for a figure like David Cameron to say.

We’ve posted the clip in question below:



Please share this with beyond absolutely as many people as possible; this is very nearly a declaration of war upon freedom of speech.

Here's the UN speech itself:

Some deeply pathological and Orwellian rhetoric here. It seems that the PTB have really stepped up their game and are on all out attack mode and lumping ISIL and the 'truth movement' together will be the next stage in the agenda. Apparently Cameron is in the process of organising a national UK representative on 'Extremism' which means the thought police are on their way..........
 
It's certainly adding to the already well laid theme of generally fear everybody BUT your government. I have to say Cameron looks totallly out of his depth but i'm sure he's enjoying the spotlight.

Below is an article i just read, edited for brevity with a few comments added.

_http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/britain-attack-isis-iraq-saturday-4330838

“The brutality is staggering – beheadings, crucifixions, gauging out of eyes, use of rape as a weapon. All those things belong to the dark ages.”

[no mention of the UK's support to Saudi who beheaded something like 19 people in August and no mention of them chopping off hands for theft and the rest]


He said: “This is not a threat on the far side of the world; left unchecked, we will face a terrorist caliphate on the shores of the Mediterranean and bordering a NATO member, with a declared and proven determination to attack our country and our people.”

[no, it's a threat that's everywhere, even in our primary schools..apparently]

He made clear he would have liked the bombing to include Syria, but was blocked by Labour, which wanted a UN Security Council resolution first.

[there's one of the objectives]


Defence Secretary Michael Fallon added: “ISIL is based in Syria, that’s where its headquarters are, that’s where its resources, its people are.

[they tried their hardest to invade Syria few years ago, yet were thwarted, luckily the new enemy really likes living in Syria too]

Meanwhile, radical preacher Anjem Choudary was released on bail after his arrest over alleged support for banned extremist group al-Muhajiroun.

On his release, Choudary, 47, described his arrest in London on Thursday as “politically motivated” and added: “They waited until the day before a major vote on a war against Muslims for a high-profile series of arrests.

[as always]

Two men, aged 33 and 42, were stopped and detained on the M6 near Rugby, Warks, as part of the same probe. It takes the total number of arrests to 11.
 
To add to this terrorizing propaganda soup, i thought these articles may be related.

The first is about the new powers to go after, what i'll call, the 'mild extremists' (ie. anybody) and the second is what i think may be a side move, using the Mccann scandal, and their accusers, for the purposes of 'militarising' social media. The lady accused of 'trolling' the Mccanns, and she was a bit OTT, killed herself, so this actually may backfire, if only a little. Because now people are accusing the tabloids of irresponsible hounding (to death) of someone. I'm fairly appalled at their headlines for the story: 'Mccann troll suicide' was the gist for most of the papers!

Either way, to me, the articles do seem to be proposing a similar stance to social media, and the public in general. It's a mixture of terrorism and 'think of the children'. Bearing in mind Cameron's UN speech. I am highly suspicious of the Mccanns and their story. Chances are they are being used as pawns, and they seem quite happy about it, most of the time.

(let me know if this is in the wrong place, i just figured it could be a thread for all relating to this encroaching 'anti truther' 'anti social media' crackdown in the UK)

Extremists may face broadcast ban, social media vetting - home secretary

_http://rt.com/uk/191780-conservatives-new-powers-extremists/

Powers banning extremists from appearing on TV and which allow police to vet “harmful” individuals’ social media activity would be enforced if the Conservatives return to power next year, Home Secretary Theresa May is set to announce.

The party manifesto will also pledge to introduce time-limited Extremist Disruption Orders to curb individuals’ right to speak at public events and control their social media usage. The maximum sentence could be up to 10 years in prison for breaking a banning order.

Announcing the plans at the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham on Tuesday, May will also promise greater powers for British police to access internet data.

Police and intelligence services would accrue greater access to details of when and where phone calls and emails are sent, but not their content. LOL

Targeted individuals could be banned from taking part in public protests, certain public spaces, from associating with named people and from using broadcast media if deemed a threat to “the functioning of democracy.”

The Home Office counter-extremism strategy would encompass “the full spectrum of extremism” extending beyond radical Islamism to include far-right and fascist organizations.

Orders would target those who undertake activities “for the purpose of overthrowing democracy,” a broad definition that could encompass political activists of many different stripes.

Critics are expected to accuse the government’s gag order of dramatically widening state censorship against people who have never been convicted of a criminal offence.

In their final party conference ahead of the May 7 general election, the Conservatives aim to appear the toughest party on the threat of terrorism.

Prime Minister David Cameron told BBC Breakfast on Tuesday morning that new powers would go beyond mere advocates of violence, instead targeting those who propagate dangerous views and radicalize others.

Currently, organizations can only be banned if there is evidence of links to terrorism.

“The problem that we have had is this distinction of saying we will only go after you if you are an extremist that directly supports violence,” said Cameron.

“It has left the field open for extremists who know how not to step over the line. But these are people who have radicalized young minds and led to people heading off to Syria or Iraq to take part in this ghastly slaughter.” [So a MILD law abiding extremist?]

Earlier in September, Cameron announced new police powers to seize terror suspects’ passports and stop British jihadists from returning to the UK.

May will tell Birmingham delegates that the government’s new approach to its ‘Prevent’ strategy will go beyond targeting the violent “hard end” of extremism, and focus on “undermining and eliminating extremism in all its forms.”
[That'll be that mild extremism]
The strategy would aim to prevent extremists holding positions of authority in local communities, including schools, by supporting Islamic institutions that are judged as “compatible” with British values.

Enhanced powers will allow the Charity Commission to close down groups deemed to be fronts for extremist activity as a means of tackling funding streams.

Political opponents accuse May’s counter-extremism proposals of not being tough enough, with calls to relocate suspects elsewhere in the country, and for the expansion of de-radicalization programs for all individuals returning from the Middle East.

Meanwhile, the Opposition Labour Party has called for the reintroduction of control orders, scrapped by the Conservative government in 2011.

In response to the rise of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Iraq and Syria, the government raised the UK’s terror threat level from ‘substantial’ to ‘severe’ at the end of August.

MPs voted on Friday to join US, French and Arab airstrikes against IS positions in Iraq, but not in Syria.


Internet troll who targeted McCanns found dead in hotel room days after fleeing home when she was revealed to be behind online campaign of vitriol

Brenda Leyland, 63, was found dead at a Marriott hotel in Leicester
She was one of the trolls accused of targeting internet abuse at McCanns
Mrs Leyland was confronted by Sky News reporter at her village home
Trolls claim that the McCanns were involved in daughter's disappearance
Last week Gerry McCann said an example should be made of 'vile' trolls

By Andy Dolan for the Daily Mail and Martin Robinson for MailOnline

Published: 18:16, 5 October 2014 | Updated: 10:38, 6 October 2014


A church-going mother who was accused of trolling Madeleine McCann’s parents has been found dead in a hotel room.

Brenda Leyland, 63, was found dead at a Marriott hotel on Saturday around 15 miles from her immaculately kept village home.

Police said the death was not being treated as suspicious.

Divorcee Mrs Leyland had been identified as one of a number of online ‘trolls’ posting a series of abusive comments about Kate and Gerry McCann, by Sky News last Thursday.

She told a reporter who confronted her that she had been ‘entitled’ to make the comments using her Twitter identity @Sweepyface.

Yesterday, her son, Ben, 20, who is said to be studying law in Los Angeles, posted the following brief tribute: ‘I love you mum and I will miss you forever’. His friends then began passing on their condolences on the site.

Last night, neighbours of Mrs Leyland, who had continued using her married name, told of their shock at her death.
[...]

Mrs Leyland, who was educated at a convent school and studied at Goldsmiths, University of London, is among a group of hate-filled critics of Kate and Gerry McCann who have posted hundreds of vile messages about the couple online.

The trollers wrongly believe the McCanns were involved in their daughter’s disappearance.

Among the many comments attributed to Mrs Leyland on Twitter was one that said: ‘Q ‘how long must the Mccanns suffer’ answer ‘for the rest of their miserable lives’.’

On Friday, the day after her interview was broadcast, she disappeared from her home Leicestershire, neighbours said.

Sky News said today in a statement: 'We were saddened to hear of the death of Brenda Leyland. It would be inappropriate to speculate or comment further at this time.'

Last week the father of Madeleine McCann called for an example to be made of ‘vile’ internet trolls who have been targeting the family.

Gerry McCann said he had ‘grave concerns’ about letting his nine-year-old twins use the internet after threats of violence and kidnapping.

The comments, in an interview with the BBC Radio 4 Today programme, came after it emerged that police are looking at a dossier of abuse posted on Twitter, Facebook and chat forums.

Mr McCann, whose daughter Madeleine went missing in Praia da Luz in 2007, said he and wife Kate did not read such material because it was too 'upsetting'.

Mr McCann said. ‘Clearly something needs to be done about the abuse on the internet. I’m glad to say that there have been a number of people where police have taken action.

‘I think we probably need more people charged.’

Asked about ‘@sweepyface’, Mr McCann said: 'I haven’t read her tweets ... I think that is an issue, that our behaviour is modified by this.

Mrs Leyland was found dead at the Leicester Marriott Hotel, pictured, around 15 miles from her home

‘We do not have any significant presence on social media or online. And I’ve got grave concerns about our children as they grow up and start to access the internet in an unsupervised capacity.

‘There have been other instances where people are threatening to kidnap our children. People are threatening violence against Kate and myself.

‘Of course it’s not just us - it is many other people who happen to find themselves in rather tragic circumstances.

I’m glad to see the law around this area is being reviewed. But I do think we need to make examples of people who are causing damage.’

The troll investigation featured in numerous newspapers including The Guardian, The Independent, The Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Daily Star, The Daily Express as well as the Daily Mail after Sky News exposed her identity as one of the trolls who targeted the McCanns.

A Leicestershire Police spokeswoman said: ‘Police were called at 1.42pm on Saturday 4 October to reports of a body of a woman in a hotel room in Smith Way, Grove Park, Leicester.

‘Officers have attended the scene and a file is being prepared for the coroner. Identification of the deceased is a matter of the coroner. The death is not being treated as suspicious.’

McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: ‘Kate and Gerry will not be saying anything. It is entirely a matter for the police.’

A spokesman for the Marriott hotel said he had nothing to add beyond the police statement.

So because of mild extremists and 'trolls', after the publicity with the raised 'terror alert', and in the warm up to more war 'vs ISIS', recently appointed National Crime Agency chief Keith Bristow claims

" Britons must be prepared to sacrifice their freedoms online if they want to be protected from terrorists and cyber criminals."

You can't make it up! And yes it reminds us of the quote: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

(i checked and this article isn't yet up on Sott)

UK crime agency seeks total access to citizens' emails, social media content

[that'l be social media, the only place the people have recourse to government propaganda]

Keith Bristow, Director, UK National Crime Agency (image from wikipedia.org Up by January)

The UK’s top law enforcement officer says Britons must be prepared to sacrifice their freedoms online if they want to be protected from terrorists and cyber criminals. This includes giving authorities access to private email and social media contents.

Speaking to The Guardian, the director general of the National Crime Agency (NCA), Keith Bristow, warned that the UK’s biggest threats are becoming increasingly focused on the web, and that authorities had not done enough to persuade the public that greater oversight of their online activity was necessary.

He told the newspaper that existing methods of monitoring communications had to be “modernized” and that the NCA, which is being touted by the government as Britain’s version of the FBI, was “losing capability and coverage of serious criminals”.

While Bristow did not outline plans to increase the monitoring of web activity, digital watchdog Open Rights Group (ORG) expressed concern that, while it welcomed public debate about sureillance of personal communications by the police and intelligence services, “so far the government seems intenton simply increasing its powers to allow unchecked whole population profiling,”

“To tackle terrorism and serious crime, we need targeted surveillance that is authorized by judges not politicians, as well as proper democratic oversight to ensure that powers are not abused,” ORG executive director Jim Killock said in a statement.

ORG’s reaction follows the Home Secretary Theresa May’s comments at last week’s Conservative Party Conference, in which she said the government’s Communications Data Bill – which would store and monitor networks of communications between web users – was essential for the UK’s national security.

However, the bill has caused a rift in the UK government, after it was blocked by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats, who argued that it posed a significant risk to civil liberties.

May accused the Liberal Democrats of “outrageous irresponsibility” for blocking the bill, which has been dubbed by critics as the “Snooper’s Charter.” The home secretary promised to push the bill through if the Conservative Party wins a majority in next year’s general election.

Bristow, the NCA chief, also criticized the Guardian’s publication of top secret NSA documents leaked by former contractor Edward Snowden, calling the act a “betrayal”.

“The Snowden revelations have damaged public confidence in our ability, whether it’s law enforcement or the intelligence agencies, to access and use data in an appropriate and proportionate way,” Bristow said.

However, Bristow also said that it would be morally wrong if surveillance of online activity took place in secret, adding that it was necessary to attain “the public consent to losing some freedoms in return for greater safety and security”.

Earlier this year, Bristow gave the UK Police Federation’s John Harris Memorial lecture, entitled “Policing by Consent,” in which he called for new law enforcement tools to tackle child abuse on the internet.

[as for the child abuse that occurs under their noses, that can wait]

He also said that cybercrime posed a threat to Britain’s national security and “way of life”, and that existing police powers to investigate crimes were “inadequate”.

Bristow, formerly chief constable of the Warwickshire Police Force, was appointed as NCA chief in December 2012 by May. She said that Bristow would “develop an agency of powerful, operational crime fighters” able to track down and “bring to justice” individuals who “commit serious and organized crime”.

The NCA was created by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government to replace the Serious Organized Crime Agency, which was brought in under the previous Labour government in 2006.
 
They greatly fear the free exchange of truthful information. It certainly can have nonlinear results, especially as more and more of their chaos and destruction, as well as desperate attempts to hang on to power is getting out of their control. Very interesting if distressing times....

Yep, I’ve been mulling over very similar thoughts the last few days. Even going back just two or three years, I don’t think the PTB had any idea what social media would eventually lead to in terms of networking and sharing information. What’s unfolding at the minute with the rush to pass new laws around the world (though I think we won’t see anything too radical in the UK until right after the spring elections) seems to be a reaction to the realisation that an ever larger number of people don’t buy the BS lies and propaganda anymore.

So rush through a few laws, threaten journalists, ramp up the rhetoric and redefine the meaning of a few more words, ‘extremist’ ‘radicalized’ ‘hate speech’ etc. Five years ago maybe that was enough to scare people back into their boxes, but now you get the sense from reading FaceBook posts, or even the comments left on mainstream newspaper websites, that a corner has been turned.

It ‘feels’ different, you get the impression of a very large but very random wave (no Cs based pun intended) of activity beginning to spread. It’s that which makes them nervous I think. The unpredictability of it. Heck, they can’t even predict the outcome of of things they do plan (aside from making profits that is), let alone foresee anything as non-linear as this.

But failure to take into account the consequences of their actions is a trait of the psychopath, and you can’t help but think that what they are doing now will only make things worse from their point of view. The harder you squeeze, more things tend to slip between your fingers.

I think there are some important and accurate insights here. What we're seeing at the moment (a prime example being Cameron's speech) is both predictable and pathetic. Pathetic in respect that there is no creative force in the formula by which 'control' is maintained. At the heart of this formula there is only one real 'thing': lies.

Yes, these lies are monstrous and often complex but the PTB really are one trick wonders and have nothing up their sleeve's except more lies. Personally when I read the SOTT editor's essays and all the heart, creative force and truth that goes into them, and then observe the other side, it's almost as if the program of the latter is about to malfunction and break down completely, consciously choosing to align itself with entropy and illusion as it has. This doesn't mean it's time to rest on our laurels, quite the opposite but I do get the feeling that we're witnessing 'the last acts of desperate men' so to speak.

I've been contemplating the 'mindset' of the 4D STS gang recently. From everything we can assume from the C's sessions and what we see here 'on the ground', I guess their core folly is the belief that the information field can be kept 'static' and under the complete domination of illusion forever. I think looking at the world as it is today, one can really make sense of much that the C's have said regarding hubris and wishful thinking, for example in this quote here:

Q: (L) Well, since there is so many of us here, why don't they just move in and take over?

A: That is their intention. That has been their intention for quite some time. They have been traveling back and forth through time as you know it, to set things up so that they can absorb a maximum amount of negative energy with the transference from third level to fourth level that this planet is going to experience, in the hopes that they can overtake you on the fourth level and thereby accomplish several things.

1: retaining their race as a viable species;
2: increasing their numbers;
3: increasing their power;
4: expanding their race throughout the realm of fourth density.

To do all of this they have been interfering with events for what you would measure on your calendar as approximately 74 thousand years. And they have been doing so in a completely still state of space time traveling backward and forward at will during this work. Interestingly enough, though, all of this will fail.

Q: (L) How can you be so sure it will fail?

A: Because we see it. We are able to see all, not just what we want to see. Their failing is that they see only what they want to see. In other words, it's the highest manifestation possible of that which you would refer to as wishful thinking. And, wishful thinking represented on the fourth level of density becomes reality for that level. You know how you wishfully think? Well, it isn't quite reality for you because you are on the third level, but if you are on the fourth level and you were to perform the same function, it would indeed be your awareness of reality. Therefore they cannot see what we can see since we serve others as opposed to self, and since we are on sixth level, we can see all that is at all points as is, not as we would want it to be.

It seems obvious that their illusory belief is that the 'magician's tricks' will always be looked at 'in awe' and not seen for what they are. This of course relies on the belief (on their part) that all of humanity will remain as 'children' forever more, like them, unable to evolve, create or reach understanding. But as you say Alada, the evidence suggests quite the opposite. FWIW.........
 
Yes, these do seem to be the last acts of very desperate 'people' to hold onto power whatever the costs. Cameron's idiotic statement about "non-violent extremists" is just one recent example. But as the saying goes "wishful thinking will get you every time".

Exposing these blatent lies by essays using critical thinking, or highlighting the absurdity of their psychopathic actions by humour - weakens them by not feeding the Lie factor. And gives us healthy expression of our humanity too I guess; to rant, to cry, to laugh - particularly when the temptation is often to avoid looking at such painful suffering.

Something I have been noticing recently too, is the increased speed that events are unfolding at. Sure looks like dirty 3D bathwater spiralling faster to the plug hole! Not much time left for getting ones 'ducks all lined up in a row'.

As the Monty Python song goes, "always look on the bright side of Life". :)

I tend to agree, they are both terrified of the free flow of communication - remember when they were going to charge per email? - and there are more instances of people standing up and speaking out. Maybe it's the nature of pathocracy though, since there comes a time when no one is safe. And by this i mean, i'v been posting for at least 4 years heavily and ne'er a 'like' had i gotten, generally.

Now with the scots vote, that led to a few interactions, And recently i've seen a doctor commenting on the handling of the sorry situation regarding Ebola; teachers are now posting about education cuts and social workers about their case load - all friends who previously weren't 'interested'.

So it may a case of 'they came for me' and it may be this, squeezing too tight like Alada says, that is waking a few people up. I haven't seen much in the way of correlating what's going on with everything else in the world though, hence my reservations. Most still defend the system.

As an aside, it is interesting to watch the police use the Mccann situation by saying they should investigate trolls, then when the apparent 'troll' commits suicide (apparently) and they choose to ignore that. Basically they are literally using every instance to their benefit, there's absolutely no consisitency except more invasion of privacy and more powers to snatch people.

Hence the recent (2012) appointment of this NCA boss; It wouldn't surprise me if he was chosen for his corollary behaviours and now he's in position, they're much better equipped to institute a crack down. Because since when was Warwickshire (where he was constable) sufficient training for a National Crime Agency head? I think wiki says they don't even have a city in their boundaries. "There are no cities in Warwickshire since both Coventry and Birmingham were incorporated into the West Midlands county in 1974 and are now metropolitan authorities in themselves"

Anyway, in almost poetic timing from the universe, from a week ago, and further justification for the social media crackdown: David Cameron's speech 'received ten negative tweets for every positive post on Twitter'.

David Cameron's speech 'received ten negative tweets for every positive post on Twitter'

Social media experts at Demos analysed more than 25,000 tweets on the speech

James Rush

Thursday 02 October 2014

It received huge cheers and standing ovations from delegates at the Conservative Party Conference yesterday, but it appears not everybody was too impressed by David Cameron's speech.

According to an analysis by a cross-party think-tank, the Prime Minister's final speech before the general election received ten negative posts for every positive one on Twitter.

Social media experts at Demos said Mr Cameron fared less well than Ed Miliband, whose speech last week saw negative tweets outweigh the positive by four to one.

According to the analysis however, the majority of the negative tweets on Mr Cameron's speech appeared to be more of an anti-Tory backlash, as opposed to being aimed at the Prime Minister directly, criticising policies which were being announced and commenting on the cuts and their current impact. The number of negative tweets however fell when Mr Cameron spoke about health.

Demos's Centre for the Analysis of Social Media analysed more than 25,000 tweets.
Cameron promises tax cuts and new 'British bill of rights'
Cameron insists Ukip vote is 'a vote for Labour'
Cameron accidentally says Tories 'resent' the poor
Prime Minister pays tribute to William Hague

Among those whose tweets the think-tank looked at were 1,748 publicly stated Labour supporters, 2,457 publicly stated Conservative supporters, 2,426 members of the press and media and 20,221 members of the public.

Demos social media expert Carl Miller said there had been a “battle between substance and style” over the past two weeks.

He said: "People took to Twitter to praise the delivery and tone of what many felt was one of Cameron's best speeches - but were not sold on the content.

"Any individual praise was drowned out by a deafening anti-Tory backlash from people criticising the Government for the impact of current policies and welfare cuts.

"Some of the most retweeted comments were particularly hostile of tax 'giveaways' for some of the richest on society."
