Braced for Martial Law

State Sponsored Terrorism in Your Face

According to the press Londoners are “bracing themselves for Thursday” but this is only to keep the fear-o-meter cranked up to Amber Alert, we’ve had our turn and it achieved the desired result. Six thousand police are patrolling the streets and we have been asked for our understanding as they stop and search whoever they choose. We obediently cooperate with regular evacuations and contrived ‘controlled explosions’ in houses and cars.

Anonymous men in black ski-masks arrest suspects at gunpoint in a blaze of media publicity and spirit them away in white forensic coveralls, obscuring their identity. Charles Clark, the Home Secretary will get his e-mail and phone taps, since the ‘fourth bomber’ was traced through his mobile phone, after he was allowed to flee to Rome to demonstrate the need for ID’s and more stringent transport security across Europe.

The first person charged with terrorism for the failed 21/7 attack, is Ismael Abdurahman who was not a suicide bomber, but knew the whereabouts of the wanted man, Hussain Osman. Two women are also appearing in court for failure to disclose information. Websites which sympathize with the ‘enemy’ by showing the true face of war are being outlawed for their inflammatory content, which supposedly incites extremists.

Police Commissioner, Sir Ian Blair says foreigners can be deported to countries where they may be tortured or executed, because “the mood has changed” and human rights laws, which are now superfluous, will be amended accordingly to jail thought criminals at home. George Galloway could be the first political figure to fall foul of these laws, for “fomenting hatred” by claiming Iraqi insurgents have a right to defend themselves.

The repercussions of 7/7 can be emotively milked for years to come, but the focus needs to return to the USA, as support for the ‘war without end’ is weak, thirst for revenge over 9/11 is flagging and bin Laden is all but forgotten. Cue Al Jazeera, obliging with a timely ‘video threat’ from Ayman al-Zawahiri, the Deputy Leader of ‘al Qaida’ taking credit on behalf of Islam for the covert terror attacks carried out by the Intelligence Services.

This is coupled with relentless propaganda about Iran, the home of seventy million Muslims and the ‘birth place’ of the suicide bomber, with thirteen year-old Hossein Fahmideh as the prototype martyr in 1980. Japanese Kamikaze pilot’s committing ritual Hara-kiri in the theatre of war has gone down the memory hole. But before troops can leave Iraq in chaos to set their sights on Iran, another ‘terror attack’ will be necessary.

A worst case scenario was invoked by men wearing chemical suits in London. Military ‘training exercises’ or FEMA ‘drills’ in coming months should be viewed ominously, especially if the Administration is “looking the other way” on holiday or distracted by the staged commotion around the space shuttle. The neocons want a situation which will cause public outrage and upheaval, evacuations and quarantine, to justify Martial Law.
