Plans for the security services and police to be given new legally-binding powers to ban the media from reporting matters of national security are being drawn up, it was claimed today.
The Daily Telegraph tells us in a very sombre and almost resigned manner that the proposal is said to feature in a report due before the end of the year
from the cross-party Intelligence and Security Committee, parliamentary
watchdog of the intelligence and security agencies.
According to The Independent newspaper, unnamed sources at Whitehall say that
the ISC will urge ministers to set up a commission to look into the
proposal.
The ISC is appointed by Prime Minister Gordon Brown and reports directly to
him. The Committee's cross–party membership from both Houses is appointed by
the Prime Minister, in consultation with the leaders of the two main
opposition parties. The Chairman of the Committee is the Right
Honourable Margaret Beckett MP.
The Committee members are:
Dr. Kim Howells MP (Chair). – Labour
Rt Hon Michael Ancram QCDL MP. – Tory
Rt Hon Sir Alan Beith MP. – LibDem
Mr Ben Chapman MP. – Labour
Rt. Hon. Lord Foulkes of Cumnock. – Labour
Rt Hon George Howarth MP. – Labour
Rt Hon Michael Mates MP. – Tory
Mr Richard Ottaway MP. – Tory
Ms Dari Taylor MP.- Labour
It is clear that none of the LibLabCon parties give a flying f**k for the rights of the people who ostensibly vote for them
Bearing in mind that anything that the government does not like will be censored as being against the national interest, that means total state controlled censorship.
Was the Libertarian Party 1984 book for every MP campaign and the Stroll by concerned voters dressed as Guy Fawkes around Parliament Square given DA-Notices.?
All in the name of your security.
It seems then that the Libertarian Party campaign to delivery a copy of 1984 to every MP was rather apt and timely.
They have nationalised your money, taxed everything that doesn't move, installed a mass of Stasi IT systems throughout government watching everything you do, who you meet, listen to your phone calls, read your emails, created political police forces, moving towards political control of the internet and now moves to take political control over the media.
They have already abandoned the Rule of Law. Now they have total control over what you see, what you read, what you may know.
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
1984 is here folks.
Never seen the film? Never read the book? You can get both here.
“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested
in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or
luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure
power means you will understand presently.
We are different from all
the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the
others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and
hypocrites.
The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close
to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize
their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that
they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just
round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free
and equal.
We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power
with the intention of relinquishing it.
Power is not a means; it is an
end.
One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a
revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the
dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of
torture is torture. The object of power is power.”
1984 – George Orwell
Its not too late for you to try the alternative – Yet.
