Spring of Rage (why wait for Summer?)
A story magically appeared in one of the mainstream newspapers recently which announced the likelihood of a Summer of Rage (protests about the economy) in Britain.
I wrote about that in a post I called Pre-empting violent protests.
Now a story has been put out by The Times to tell us that we may not even have to wait until the Summer…
(My comments in red).
Summit police fear attacks on hotels used by the G20 leaders
Security will be bolstered against ‘guerrilla’ raids
As David Icke says, Fear is the four-letter word which rules the world. Our useless journalists, irresponsible people that they are, never hesitate to employ Fear in their headlines.
Guerrilla raids? Interesting choice of language!
Security for the world leaders attending next month’s G20 summit in London is being stepped up amid fears that violent protesters will find out where they are staying.
More security for the elite. On and on it goes, as they distance themselves still further from the people they are supposed to be serving.
But the elite have only ever sought to serve themselves. This fact is becoming clearer by the day.
Police have received intelligence reports that hotels and other buildings could become the target of “guerrilla-style raids” by anti-globalisation groups and are increasing the number of close protection officers that will be stationed at each location.
The writer of this piece in The Times is called Sean O’Neill. Do you think he has checked out where the intelligence reports are coming from? Or is he simply taking at face value the word of ‘the police’? He cites no specific contact name. He doesn’t say ’senior police source’, and even that I would consider shoddy journalism. No, so poor is the art of journalism these days, for all we know Sean O’Neill could have made this whole story up.
But he’s not joking by the way; he’s making an announcement on behalf of the elite. They want violence on the streets because that will give them the excuse for a crackdown to consolidate their (illusory) power.
All police leave has been cancelled in London for the first two days of next month – the summit is on April 2 – and thousands of uniformed officers will be on the streets to prevent legitimate protests from being hijacked by violent activists after indications that there will be the worst public disorder in a decade.
And I thought the previous paragraph was shoddy! Take a moment to revise this part of what O’Neill says: ‘thousands of uniformed officers will be on the streets to prevent legitimate protests from being hijacked by violent activists’.
I have just contacted the Orwellian Translation Unit and they tell me he really means this: ‘thousands of uniformed officers will be on the streets to ensure peaceful legitimate protests are hijacked by infiltrators.’
Besides, shouldn’t that read ‘thousands of uninformed officers’ instead of ‘thousands of uniformed officers’? What a difference a single letter makes!
Anarchist groups and environmental activists are already collaborating on a series of demonstrations, which are being advertised with slogans such as “Storm the Banks” and “Bash a Banker”. One website urges demonstrators to “express their rage” and promises “a day of f***ing up the summit and other adventures” on April 2.
I found the Storm the Banks poster:
Notice that O’Neill makes no mention of the police wanting to talk to any groups of protesters to ensure the demonstrations are peaceful.
The security operation to protect politicians attending the event will be the largest seen in Britain since the G8 met at Gleneagles in July 2005. Some of Scotland Yard’s key security personnel were stranded in Scotland when the July 7 suicide bombers detonated their devices and killed 52 people on the London Underground and on a bus as the meeting took place.
O’Neill obviously hasn’t looked in any detail at what happened on 7/7. That was a job of more obvious ‘inside’ proportions than 9/11.
Are the elite planning another ‘terrorist’ attack during the G20 summit? That would make sense to me because they are in an ever more desperate struggle to maintain their power.
The Times understands that there is no intelligence pointing to a terrorist attack to coincide with G20, but that a detailed anti-terrorist contingency plan has been drawn up.
How about that! O’Neill nearly answered my question. Nearly, but not quite.
I don’t much like the sound of an ’anti-terrorist contingency plan’. It makes me think of coordinated terrorism by the elite. If you want to know why, look into the ‘terror rehearsal’ in London on 7/7. It was a vital component of the actual event.
A senior source said: “We could never rule out the idea that the G8 event might have been the inspiration for the 7/7 terrorists. There’s no intelligence of an attack now but we would be foolish if we weren’t thinking along those lines – you cannot afford to discount any possibility.”
Alright then, Mr Senior Source…
All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. (Bill Hicks)
Do you discount that possibility?
Three police forces – the Metropolitan, City of London and British Transport Police – have joined under a single command structure to prepare for the leaders’ arrival.
Protests begin on the Saturday before the summit with a “Put People First” march in Central London. Police resources will be further stretched when the President of Mexico arrives on March 30 for a state visit that will include attendance at the summit.
As a reader of this Times article asks, why is the G20 summit being held in London? Why don’t they meet in a more inaccessible place?
The answer is: London has been deliberately chosen because it is where people can easily gather to protest. The elite want you to protest.
Calling all protesters! You can’t see this, can you? If you could see it from the elite’s point of view, you wouldn’t take to the streets (walk into the trap). Instead, you would choose non-compliance as opposed to resistance.
The day causing senior commanders the most concern is April 1, on which activists have planned demonstrations focused on the Bank of England, calling for a “mass street party”.
The anarchist Wombles protest group says on its website: “As the bankers continue to cream off billions of pounds of our money, let’s put the call out – reclaim the money, storm the banks and send them packing.”
I have a question for The Times: have the bankers creamed off billions of pounds of our money? How about an article with that angle - can you see this is close to people’s hearts? Whether you can or not, I know you couldn’t care less about the ‘ordinary’ person, and I know you will not print anything which supports that person’s argument.
Plane Stupid, the group that has staged demonstrations against airport expansion, is promoting a Climate Camp in the City on the same day. BP’s centenary celebrations at the British Museum that evening may also attract protests.
The protest organisers, however, are emphasising the flexibility of their plans and have set up text message alert systems to keep their followers informed of changes in the choice of venue or tactics.
A police source said: “To some extent we’re always going to be one step behind them. It will be like dealing with flying pickets.”
I’ll be so far behind them that they won’t even see me. I support the spread of knowledge, not the spread of protests by people who have no idea what they are mixed up in.
Police are confident that they can protect the summit venue, the ExCeL Centre, which is bordered by railway lines and docks and is close to an airport.
The source added: “The protest groups are intent on causing as much disruption to the summit [as possible] but we think a lot of their talk is aspirational rather than achievable.”
There was severe disorder in London in 1999, when 4,000 people took part in a protest against Third World debt, and on May Day 2000 when the Cenotaph and a statue of Winston Churchill were vandalised. The following year, police thwarted a protest by trapping a large crowd of demonstrators inside a cordon.
Misled people may be, but they are frustrated. That I understand completely.
Their views will be completely ignored by a mainstream media only interested in reporting on street violence at the G20 summit.
S-M-O-K-E-S-C-R-E-E-N.
