What are we doing to our children?

I don't want to add anything to this, it's obvious. Read it, get mad, not too mad though, don't throw your computer out the window. It's not worth it. :)


Daily Mail Article

Little Brother is watching you: Children of ten are taught how to spot a terrorist in police DVD

Hundreds of children as young as ten are being urged to spot potential terrorists and shop them to police.

Up to 2,000 are to attend a safety event where a film will tell pupils that extremist views can develop at school.

But critics condemned the initiative as a nightmare extension of the Big Brother state. Concerns were also raised that children could become subject to police monitoring if their fellow pupils misinterpreted innocent remarks or play.

The Lancashire Police film is being shown in Blackburn as part of its long-running Streetwise event which includes demonstrations on fire safety, water hazards and first aid. A spokesman said the reference to terrorism could encompass any extremist, including animal rights activists, and not just Islamist fundamentalism.

He said: ‘It’s something we need to be aware of across the country. We’re not trying to scare anybody, we’re just raising awareness.’

But Estella Schmid, a founder of the Campaign against Criminalising Communities, warned: ‘This is a nightmare scenario. This risks criminalising children and is showing the expansion of the state into the most private areas.’

    I'm sure it will be a MIAC-style definition of terrorist, too.

    Are you suspicious of government running everything?

    Maybe you don't like paying 40% of your income to the state?

    Perhaps you even think people have a right to bear arms?

    Then you're a potential terrorist; hopefully you will be reported by your children before you do anything extreme, like dissent against your masters...

    This truly is despicable. It appears our criminal elite intend on nurturing the terror fear meme indefinitely, for a whole new generation. There is no stopping them, as long as they remain in power, and it will only ever end one way, another world war.

    Usually I feel somewhat helpless against this program of tyranny that is being rapidly increased in intensity. However I stumbled upon an article a few days ago which provides a glimpse of hope, titled – My Personal Journey into Lawful Rebellion, ukcolumn.org

    It would seem, from info in this article and the various links that it provides, that UK citizens are not lawfully obligated to pay income taxes. The author suggests that declining to pay tax on mass, would in effect tumble the elite’s house of cards. The British Constitution Group is calling for 1 million rebellious Britons to enact a Lawful Rebellion. They are holding a conference in London on June 13th.

    From what I understand (not derived from above source), there is no moral duty to pay taxes either. Our taxes don’t build roads and hospitals, not directly anyway, not before making huge sums for the criminal elite. Taxes pay government debt. The Government builds roads and hospitals with money printed and lent by the Central Bank in the form of the bank buying government bonds (debt). Every dollar the government acquires from the Central Bank has interest repayable. Taxes only pay interest charges extorted by the bankers.

    Thanks for the info, Fred.

    I don't know whether all taxes go to servicing central bank debt, however it's clear that a lot do!

    Crap - this means I'm a potential terrorist. Maybe I should turn myself in?

    But you're a pirate, can you not evade the forces of tyranny on the high seas? (oh no he didn't, lol)
