More Anti CCTV leaflets are being distibuted on the Road today. However an anonymous author put a pro-CCTV leaflet through our doors in the week, claiming to be from "satisfied residents".

The yin to the yang

There is a completion of this particular circle. More and more people are being arrested and prosecuted for filming the police and state officials. In the UK, an attempt to use a camera will lead to you being threatened, or an attempt made to block the camera, so that YOUR response can be used as an excuse to arrest you.

In the States, people have regularly prosecuted for filming the police with cameras in their own cars and on their own property. The laws used are 'anti-wiretapping' ones, nicely perverted against the citizens themselves.

BLAIR'S BIG BROTHER IS A ONE-WAY STREET. Cameras filming us ALL the time, EVERYWHERE (but mysteriously mal-functioning every time you need the evidence, like with the tube shooting, or at London demonstrations). On the other hand, our attempt to use cameras marks us as criminals and 'terrorists'.

You can hardly accuse Blair of being subtle in his methods, can you.

The most important part of building a police state is the army of apologists that will scream that only 'conspiracy nutters' could possibly accuse their master of doing anything so wicked. They, of course, act to buy their master enough time to complete his plans, after which it will be too late for anyone to do anything.

It is Blair's intent to track each and every one of us day and night. The technology exists to allow this. The widespread use of mobile phones allows Blair knowledge of most people's movements, down to a few meters. The cameras serve a psychological purpose, because Human behaviour is known to change when people realise they cannot prevent someone in power from watching them.

Would a 'white' family be more or less likely to let their kids play with the kids of their 'muslim' neighbour, knowing that the camera watched such things. Now you should understand how the cameras link to the depraved raid on those muslim brothers, and the house next to theirs. Blair's people are experts in Human psychology, coming as they do from civilian PR and advertising agencies. Their job far exceeds propagandising the atrocities carried out by their friends and family in the so-called state of Israel.

I would advise you all to watch Derren Brown's "The Heist" for a lesson in applied psychological control. Psychological warfare is real, is the most important aspect of Blair's operations, both domestic and international, and can be easily identified, once you drop the careful brainwashing you received at school and from the mass media.

Never forget that the program of total population surveillance was invented in the UK by Blair, and is still unique on our planet. Other nations cannot understand why the British value their privacy so little, and are so unwilling to limit the power of those that are suppose to serve them, not the other way round.

BTW did you know that the MONSTER that rules Poland (Lech Kaczynski- despite his anti-gay stance, don't expect significant Outrage action against Blair's key ally) intends to work with Blair to re-introduce the DEATH PENALTY into the EU. Keeping Poland and Turkey out of the EU (until the unlikely time that either nation became civilised) was essential to the moral survival of Europe. Now you should understand how Blair intends to give the EU terminal cancer, so that all Human Rights laws can be eaten away.
