Are we in the
process of setting up either a Secret Police force, or a Gestapo type political
organisation in Britain?. Whether intentional or not, lets explore the similarities
between what we already know went before, and where this country is going now.

 

The GESTAPO
was the political police force of the Reich. Much of its personnel consisted of
transferees from former police forces of the States.

Membership in the
GESTAPO was voluntary, and it had a membership of about 40,000 or 50,000 in
1943-45. The GESTAPO was founded in April 1933 by Goering to serve as a
political police force in
Prussia. Himmler was named Deputy Chief of the
GESTAPO in
Prussia in 1934.

The GESTAPO,
through its great power of arrest and confinement to concentration camps
without recourse to law, was the principal means for eliminating enemies of the
Nazi regime. 

The headquarters
organization of the GESTAPO (Amt IV of the RSHA) was set up on a functional
basis.

In 1943 it
contained six sub-sections.

  • Section A dealt with opponents,
    sabotage, and protective service.
  • Section B dealt with political
    churches, sects and Jews, and was subdivided into four offices, including
    B4, which was responsible for Jewish affairs, matters of evacuation, means
    of suppressing enemies of the people and State, dispossession of rights of
    German citizenship. (Eichmann was head of this office).
  • Section C dealt with card files,
    protective custody, and matters of press and Party.
  • Section D dealt with regions under
    greater German influence.
  • Section E dealt with security.
  • Section F dealt with passport matters
    alien police.

Subordinate
offices of the GESTAPO were established throughout the Reich and designated as
Staats Polizeileitstellen or Staats Polizeistellen, depending upon the size of
the office. These offices reported directly to the RSHA in
Berlin but were subject to the supervision of
Inspekteurs of the Security Police in the various provinces. In the occupied
territories the regional offices of the GESTAPO were coordinated with the
Criminal Police and the SD under Kommandeurs of the Security Police and SD. 

The great power
of the GESTAPO was “Schutzhaft” — the power to imprison people
without judicial proceedings on the theory of “protective custody.”
This power was based upon the law of
28 February 1933 which suspended the clauses of the Weimar
Constitution guaranteeing civil liberties to the German people. The actions and
orders of the GESTAPO were not subject to judicial review. Under the law of
30
November 1933
the
only redress available was by appeal to the next higher authority within the
GESTAPO itself.

 

 

Now, if we put this into a modern and British
scenario, lets see what we could see.

 

 

The GESTAPO was the political police force of the
Reich. Much of its personnel consisted of transferees from former police forces
of the States.

 

The SOCA is the
political police force of the UK Government. Much of its personnel consist of
transferees from police forces, the HMRC and Immigration.

 

Membership in the GESTAPO was voluntary, and it had a
membership of about 40,000 or 50,000 in 1943-45. (10 years after its
establishment).

 

Membership of
SOCA is voluntary, and it currently has a membership of about 4,200 in year
one, expected to grow substantially over 5-10 years. Recruitment is currently
underway.

 

The GESTAPO was founded in April 1933 by Goering to
serve as a political police force in
Prussia.
Himmler was named Deputy Chief of the GESTAPO in
Prussia in
1934.

 

The SOCA was
founded in 2006 by Charles Clarke the then Home secretary, as an Executive
Non-Departmental Public Body sponsored by and operationally reporting to the
Home Office.

Unlike
conventional Police forces, The SOCA does not have a chief constable, but has a
Chair and
 Director General who are appointed by the Home
Secretary, and are responsible for everything SOCA does operationally and
administratively.

 

The GESTAPO, through its great power of arrest and
confinement to prisons and concentration camps without recourse to law, was the
principal means for eliminating enemies of the Nazi regime. Enemies not only included
the millions of Jews who suffered at the hands of the Nazi’s, it must also be
remembered that hundreds of thousands of Blacks, Gypsies, mentally ill,
disabled, trade unionists, political opponents, homosexuals, child molesters, fraudsters,
organised criminals, smugglers, petty criminals and social misfits also
suffered along side them.

 

The
SOCA through its great power of arrest and confinement under the Serious and Organised
Crime Act 2005, is the principal means to removing political protest to
Government,
which restricts
the right to demonstrate within an exclusion zone of up to one kilometre from
any point in Parliament Square, including Whitehall, Downing Street,
Westminster Abbey, the Middlesex Guildhall, New Scotland Yard, and the Home
Office. It also covers a sliver of land on the other bank of the River Thames,
including County Hall, the
Jubilee Gardens, St Thomas' Hospital and the London Eye. Government
is currently planning new political restriction areas across the
UK.

 

 

The headquarters organization of the GESTAPO (Amt IV
of the RSHA) was set up on a functional basis.

In 1943 it contained six sub-sections. (by then it
had 10 years development).

  • Section A dealt with opponents, sabotage, and protective service.
  • Section B dealt with political churches, sects and Jews, and was
    subdivided into four offices, including B4, which was responsible for
    Jewish affairs, matters of evacuation, means of suppressing enemies of the
    people and State, dispossession of rights of German citizenship. (Eichmann
    was head of this office).
  • Section C dealt with card files, protective custody, and matters of
    press and Party.
  • Section D dealt with regions under greater German influence.
  • Section E dealt with security.
  • Section F dealt with passport matters and police.

 

The SOCA has
several functions. Although SOCA is primarily a police force, so was the
Gestapo during its formation, and the list above comes after the Gestapo had
been in existence for 10 years, but as we see with section 132 of the Serious
Organised Crime and Police Act, it is already being used for political
purposes, and we expect new Statutory Instruments to change its makeup over
subsequent years.

Remember that 64
years have passed since the Gestapo structure above, and technology now plays a
major part in our lives, paper systems are replaced by electronic systems, so
one Gestapo can now equate to multiple electronically connected government agencies. 

Look at the other
enabled statutes that have come into force over the past 10 years (many listed below) and include
the working links from SOCA to other enforcement agencies,
such as HMRC, DWP, Police forces, Immigration, SIS, MI5, Passport, DVLA, Child
Protection, Prison Service, and the Cabinet Office, now include the Government
plans for Data Sharing between all of these agencies, change card files to ID
Card, instead of Jews substitute Muslims, then the list above looks remarkably
and frighteningly similar.

 

The National Identity Register (NIR), and the ID card
scheme will tie all the above together.


 

Subordinate offices of the GESTAPO were established
throughout the Reich and designated as Staats Polizeileitstellen or Staats
Polizeistellen, depending upon the size of the office. These offices reported
directly to the RSHA in
Berlin
but were subject to the supervision of Inspekteurs of the Security Police in
the various provinces. In the occupied territories the regional offices of the
GESTAPO were coordinated with the Criminal Police and the SD under Kommandeurs
of the Security Police and SD.

 

The UK government
is in the process of setting up ID interrogation centres, to begin with there
will be 69, plus existing Passport Offices, and will be housed primarily within
a Revenue Enquiry Centre or other HMRC building. See here for a list, and
will work closely with Police forces and security services.

Once in these
Interrogation Centres, people will be subjected to background checks,
questioning to test their story against official records, photographs and
fingerprinting. Registration on the national ID database(s) – the 'National
Identity Register' will begin sometime this year. (Note that the Government
call them ‘Interrogation Centres’). 

 

The great power of the GESTAPO was
“Schutzhaft” — the power to imprison people without judicial
proceedings on the theory of “protective custody.” This power was
based upon the law of
28
February 1933
which suspended the clauses of the Weimar
Constitution guaranteeing civil liberties to the German people. The actions and
orders of the GESTAPO were not subject to judicial review. Under the law of
30 November 1933
the only redress available was by appeal to the next higher authority within
the GESTAPO itself.

 

The changes to
the Mental Health Act will give SOCA and the Police almost the same power.

There are changes
underway at present to allow trial without Jury, currently limited to
complicated fraud cases and parts of the Terrorism Act, but once established as
a legal precedent, it will be possible to enabled it across other Acts.


The Acts and
amendments listed below give unprecedented powers to the Police, SOCA, HMRC,
FSA, Local Authorities, BAA, Weights and Measures, DWP and many other agencies,
to arrest without evidence, many without warrant, and virtually every one of
them excludes itself from the Freedom of Information Act.  This means that we will never be able to know
how many people have been arrested under some of these Acts, or how many people
have been ‘disappeared’ into custody or, if John Reid and Sir Ian Blair get
their way ‘Camps’.

 

I do believe that
this adds weight to the argument that we are sleepwalking into both a surveillance
society and a police state. 

And remember,
Adolf Hitler convinced his people that all of this consolidation of power was
needed for their security, because they were being terrorised and under threat
from the nations around them.

The big lie then
was Security, the big lie now is exactly the same.

by no means definitive, further references can be found on the UK Statute Law
Database here.

The type of road charging is not up for discussion, should our dear leader decide to ignore the 1.5 million signatories to his petition system, and go ahead with a road charging scheme.

The definition of an electronic road toll has already been spelt out by European Directives, and it would appear that they are more big brother centric that the UK.

An electronic toll system must use one or more of the following technologies for the electronic devices used in its communications interface

(a) satellite positioning;

(b) mobile communications using the GSM-GPRS standard (reference GSM TS 03.60/23.060);

(c) 5.8 gigahertz microwave technology.


The
technologies are those specified in article 2(1) of European Parliament
and Council Directive 2004/52/EC (OJ L200, 07.06.2004, p.50,
incorporating changes made by the corrigendum to the original version
of the directive published in OJ L 166, 30.04.2004, p.124).

The regulations can be found here.

We just need to convince the Government that this is a bad idea. Full stop.


After the October
Revolution of 1917, the Bolsheviks dissolved the old police and sought the
creation of Workers and Peasants' Militia under the supervision of the
NKVD of the RSFSR.  

However, the NKVD
apparatus was overwhelmed by functions inherited directly from the Imperial MVD,
such as the supervision of the local governments and firefighting, and the new
proletarian workforce was largely inexperienced.

 

Britains NKVD and the Smoking Militia
 

Thousands
of staff are being trained to police the smoking ban in bars, restaurants and
shops in
England.

More
effort will be put into catching smokers than looking for burglars, muggers, thieves
and robbers, and it will all be based on targets, so will be self financing,
and will grow year on year. 

Ministers
have given councils £29.5m to pay for staff, who will be able to give
on-the-spot £50 fines to individuals and take court action against premises.

They
will have the power to enter premises undercover, allowing them to sit among
drinkers, and will even be able to photograph and film people.
 

The
smoking ban is due to come into force on 1 July. It covers virtually all
enclosed public places including offices, factories, pubs and bars. But neither
outdoor space nor private homes will be affected.  

Business
owners also have a duty to ensure their customers comply – they are liable for
£200 fines if proper signs are not displayed and, potentially, fines of £2,500
if they refuse to enforce the ban.

Local
authorities have been given the power to enforce the ban so it does not consume
police time.
 

A
government-funded course is expected to train 1,200 council officers in the
next few months with more expected to follow later.

With the exception of legitimate Law enforcement (Police or SIS), how many government departments (HMRC, DWP, DVLC, TV Licencing, etc), local authorities (Housing, Finance, Benefits, Environmental, Pub Licencing, HSE etc) or private companies (Traffic, Parking etc) working for government now covertly spy on us?

 

The Nature of a Secret Police

Enforcement of
the law has required, in nearly all societies, a certain amount of secrecy,
particularly in the investigation of crime and the identification of what are
often considered conspiracies.

The emergence of
a uniformed, clearly recognizable police force is of much more recent origin
than secret bodies formed by governments for their protection from internal and
external attack.  

In its wider
meaning, the term secret police embraces all those members of any police
force that operate, often out of uniform, without giving warning to the
suspected criminal.

Some countries
have laws limiting the role of such secret police to investigation only, giving
the indicted offender the right to an open trial and complete access to the
evidence. 

Wherever these
interrelated conditions are not fulfilled, a secret police in the narrower
sense of the term either exists or is in process of developing.

This secret
police is a body officially or in fact endowed with authority superior to other
law-enforcing agencies. It investigates, apprehends, and sometimes even judges
the suspect in secrecy, and is often accountable only to the executive branch
of the government.  

In extreme cases
such a secret police force may even have its own courts and prisons, and its
activities are kept secret not only from the mass of the population but also
from the legislative, judiciary, and executive authorities of the state, except
at the topmost level.

The institution
of a secret police has existed in most societies where a minority has exercised
an uneasy rule over a majority.

In ancient Sparta, a well-organized secret police
controlled the helots and ruthlessly suppressed any sign of rebellion.  

In Rome, particularly under the Julian emperors,
a professional class of informers who received a share of their victims'
confiscated fortunes, was employed by the state.

Among the
earliest secret police forces organized along modern lines were the Venetian
Inquisition and the Oprichina of Czar Ivan IV of
Russia.  

Two 20th-century
examples, that of
Russia and later the Soviet Union and that of Nazi Germany, illustrate the
workings of modern secret police forces.

The institution
has reached its most menacing aspect in the modern state—largely because of the improved technology at its disposal.

 

In a free
society, the rights and laws protect the individual from the government.

In a dictatorship, the rights and laws protect the government from the
people.
