There are now so many policemen and policewomen in this country, there might be no need for the military to take over. No one owns a gun for a start, it is not a given right in the unwritten Constitution. Hunting small animals in the countryside has just been declared illegal, now we understand why this unpopular decision was necessary. There is no reason for anyone to buy a gun, unless you wish to buy one on the black market to shoot the Prime Minister.         

The reason for this difference is obvious. England is a small country compared with America, no one can hide anywhere. The Orwellian State has been so successfully established, no one anywhere in Britain can go unnoticed for very long. There are thousands of cameras watching you in the UK at any given time. Phone records, email exchanges and websites you visit have now become police records and are freely used in court by the prosecution. I know, I work in a Crown Court. I am appalled by their powers, a complete disregard for the most basic human right: privacy.         

The police force has become an almighty force in the last decade, the military has also grown beyond measure since the terrorist war. There is no need to build concentration camps like they do in the U.S. They are confident the population can be successfully contained and prosecuted with their new terrorist laws without any such extreme measure. As a result, everyone in the UK is now a potential terrorist. Many who should not have, have already been convicted under those laws. This is clearly an abuse of power.         

I believe they were also planning for something much more destructive and appropriate than in the U.S., where one single nuclear bomb in any State would do the trick and would be more plausible, considering the hate for Americans in the world right now. Bird flu or a false flag event involving biological/bacteriological warfare, which would eliminate up to one third of the population and bring chaos, seemed more appropriate for the UK. Taking ultimate power in those conditions would be child play.          

This is what they have been working on. There has been so much talk about bird flu and ricin in the press at some point, all information coming from the government, we were all convinced we would all die within days. Since then, perhaps the film V for Vendetta, exposing all of this, has stopped them, and they must be planning something else.          

People criticised the film V for Vendetta as being an indirect critic of Bush and Cheney's regime, well, if you had lived in London for the last few years like I did, you would see that it was well targeted for the UK, it is incidental that Americans recognised their own regime depicted in the film. That makes the film V for Vendetta the single most important film in existence for the British, it shows them exactly what is happening and what they can expect, because this is where it seems that everything is leading, a totalitarian Big Brother State.         

The United Kingdom does not deal with large spaces, different States and many government levels. Everything is pretty much centralised, and Westminster instantly has access to any information about anyone. They have become experts with facial recognition software, and they invested heavily in a nationwide CCTV network which has now become infallible.          

Are we to believe that such an expensive network is for insuring that we pickup the droppings of our dog on the streets, or that it is for insuring that we do not litter the area with our cigarette butts? Though at the moment it is use for these small crimes you could still have wished to get away with less than a decade ago, it is safe to assume that it is for a grander scheme which will become real and evident fairly soon.          

It has been said many times in the press that terrorism in England is not new, and that even under the I.R.A. threats, none of this Big Brother State stuff came to be. You might think it is because we did not have the technology then, but we did, we simply did not implement it. And now we have gone wild, for a threat that does not even seem to exist.

You must have read about the London terrorist events, there is a lot of material there for conspiracy theorists. It definitely points to government sponsored terrorism. This is how I came to my conclusions. At some point it sounded so unreal, so untrue, I thought, I am being lied to, this is all a lie! And now, I am trying to establish why and where it leads.         

Why such an elaborate system to know exactly whatever anyone is doing and saying at any given time? Yes, city councils cannot believe their eyes, they are making millions because now there is not one person in their county who can escape any futile contravention to the most minuscule law, and believe me, we are paying a high price. I alone received over ten fines in the last two years, me, who never got one prior to that time, and who never goes anywhere. It is all very excessive, and must be for some other purpose than cashing money to help the rejuvenation of city centres as some sort of hidden tax that they know citizens would simply not accept.         

The question is, where does it lead? At the moment we know it leads to incapacitating anyone in doing anything slightly against the law, some sort of ultimate harassment by the police and the government, a clear message that this is a police state, they are watching us. The real question is, where will it lead once a state of emergency has been declared? The answer is simple, a dictatorship.          

And so, not only are they prepared in the United States for a real dictatorship, encompassing Canada and Mexico in their newly formed North American Union, but they are also ready in the United Kingdom. This represents the two most powerful countries in the world. Once absolute power has been consolidated in those two countries, it will be time to look at the rest of the world.          

Will that be enough to conquer the world? One can only wonder. But you better believe it. I think it will be enough, and the power that be, seems to also believe it.          

Are we veering towards a dictatorship on both sides of the Atlantic? Yes we are. I guess there is only one thing left to do, wake up to the threat and do something about it.
