A "No Social Media List" For Extremists And Potential Terrorists?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Michael Snyder of The American Dream blog,

You have heard of the “No Fly List”, right?  Well, now the Tories are pledging that if they win the next election in the UK they will establish a list of “extremists” that will have to have their social media posts “approved in advance by the police” before they post them.  There are also plans to ban “extremists” from broadcasting and speaking at public events.  The stated goal of these proposals is to crack down on terrorism, but in the process the civil liberties of the British people are going to be flushed down the toilet.  And the American people need to pay close attention to what is going on in the UK, because whatever police state measures are implemented over there usually also get implemented over here eventually.  For those that believe that we need to do “whatever it takes” to fight terrorism, there is a very important question that you need to ask yourself.  What if the government decides that you are an “extremist” because of what you believe?  What will you do then?

When I saw a report in the Telegraph today entitled “Extremists to have Facebook and Twitter vetted by anti-terror police“, I could hardly believe it.

Do the British people actually want a “no social media list” that will essentially ban people from using Facebook and Twitter even though they haven’t actually been convicted of doing anything wrong?

The following is a brief excerpt from that article

Extremists will have to get posts on Facebook and Twitter approved in advance by the police under sweeping rules planned by the Conservatives.

 

They will also be barred from speaking at public events if they represent a threat to “the functioning of democracy”, under the new Extremist Disruption Orders.

 

Theresa May, the Home Secretary, will lay out plans to allow judges to ban people from broadcasting or protesting in certain places, as well as associating with specific people.

 

The plans — to be brought in if the Conservatives win the election in May — are part of a wide-ranging set of rules to strengthen the Government’s counter-terrorism strategy.

This sounds like an Orwellian nightmare for the British people.

And who is an “extremist” anyway?

We are being told that those that belong to ISIS are extremists, and nobody would argue that.

But the article in the Telegraph makes it sound like any group “that spreads or promotes hatred” would be considered extremist.  And under these new proposals, even belonging to such a group could get you thrown into prison for up to 10 years

The Home Secretary will also introduce “banning orders” for extremist groups, which would make it a criminal offence to be a member of or raise funds for a group that spreads or promotes hatred. The maximum sentence could be up to 10 years in prison.

So what does all of that exactly mean?

Would anti-abortion groups be considered “extremist”?

Would groups promoting traditional values be considered “extremist”?

Would groups protesting against the abuses of the British government be considered “extremist”?

Would Christian churches ultimately be considered “extremist” because they don’t agree with the radical liberal agenda of the central government?

Essentially what the Tories propose to do is to tightly regulate all speech.  And there is no way to do that without turning the entire United Kingdom into a totalitarian hellhole.

Meanwhile, the United States continues to march down a similar road.

For example, we now live in an environment where a 16-year-old kid can be suspended from school and arrested by the police for writing a story “about using a gun to shoot a dinosaur”

In another case of school officials adhering to ridiculous zero tolerance policies, a student from South Carolina was suspended and arrested by police recently after writing an imaginative story about using a gun to shoot a dinosaur.

 

The offender, 16-year-old Alex Stone of Summerville High School in a suburb of Charleston was in the course of completing an assignment where students were asked to write something brief about themselves, much like Facebook status updates.

 

Stone told reporters that he found himself in hot water with teachers for being over imaginative and mentioning the word ‘gun’.

This is utter insanity, and it is getting worse with each passing day.

And it is not just kids that have to deal with this kind of thing.  A Big Brother police state control grid is being slowly constructed all around us.  And authorities are preparing for the day when they will have to use lethal force to keep the population in line.  Just check out the following excerpt from a recent Infowars report

A document released by the U.S. Army details preparations for “full scale riots” within the United States during which troops may be forced to engage in a “lethal response” to deal with unruly crowds of demonstrators.

 

The appearance of the document amidst growing unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, with the National Guard now being called in to deal with the disorder, is an ominous coincidence.

 

The 132-page document, titled U.S. Army Techniques Publication 3-39.33: Civil Disturbances (PDF), was written in April 2014 and recently obtained by Public Intelligence.

 

The document makes it clear that the techniques detailed therein are to be applied both outside and inside the “continental United States (CONUS)” in the event of “unruly and violent crowds” where it is “necessary to quell riots and restore public order.”

 

The training manual outlines scenarios under which, “Civil unrest may range from simple, nonviolent protests that address specific issues, to events that turn into full-scale riots.”

So precisely who is the government so concerned about anyway?

If ISIS and other Islamic terror groups are the problem, why train to fight against Americans?

Sadly, the truth is that much of the focus in the “war on terror” has been turned inward during the Obama administration.  Many officials in the federal government now insist that “homegrown terror” is the greatest threat that we face.

And you may be quite surprised to learn who the government considers “potential terrorists” to be.  The following is an extended excerpt from my previous article entitled “72 Types Of Americans That Are Considered “Potential Terrorists” In Official Government Documents“…

Are you starting to understand?

When government officials speak of the need to crack down on “extremists” and “potential terrorists”, that is a very dangerous thing.

The truth is that they could be talking about you.

So to summarize, the NWO is:

Pro-Abortion

Anti-Veteran/Gun-Owners.

Anti-"Conspiracy" observation-link-together-facts-ists (because Theory at this point is a little passé).

Anti-NWO-ists (duh, also same thing)

Anti-Religion.

Anti-Individual rights

Anti-Small Nation State rights.

 

OK, GOT IT N.W.O., THANKS!

Still say the Aussies are masters of squashing civil liberties. 20 years ago you could take off all your clothes and walk down the street waving a machete, firing an Uzi and people would phone the police and report: “There’s a naked person outside!”

I think #51 would be more like radical Islam than fundamentalists.  And I kinda agree.  I wouldn't want religious views imposed from any direction!  Those who seriously advocate such are, IMO, extremists. 

I do have a question though, 

Aren't you sorry you did not vote for Libertarian candidates?  I mean, like before the Libertarian label got tangled up with Ayn Rand, Austrian economic theory and evangelical Christianity. 

Enjoy.

I've given up trying to distinguish between Dems and Reps any more! 

Ron Paul can join my Party any time and I would love to have him.  I don't agree with everything he says, but he listens, and he thinks for himself!  We'd have a good time hashing out any differences we have.

Enjoy.

Hmm - the list includes anti-Catholic, anti-NWO, anti-globalists, anti-FED, anti-immigration and pro constitution patriots.  This all fits the idea of our EU organized crime rulers having taken over America in the 1913 Fed Act described by Eric Jon Phelps on utube.

He describes this power pyramid of ten organized crime Roman families who appoint the Jesuit General who control the Catholic church and all the Masonic and Zionist secret societies througn their control of the Knights of Malta. 

Their agenda for control of the Western world involves a collectivist globalist agenda that seeks to remove national identity that promotes national soverinty by immigrating other races, promoting acceptance of minorities like gays, blacks latinos and jews that also hinder a national identity of original white Anglosaxon Protestants.  

Our hidden Jesuit rulers are posing as a religious order but are agents of organized crime promoting greater global control of the masses to acquire and hold domination of the world.

Be a slave.
Lock and load.
Get outta dodge.

Those are the only options for humans that remain at this point in history.  The very fact that predators-that-be even mumble ideas like this behind closed doors (much less in public) demonstrates without any possibility of doubt that every human-predator who supports or is part of that fiction called "government" is pro-slavery, pro-tyranny, pro-totalitarianism, pro-authoritarianism.

Humans waited far too long.  No reversal of trend is possible.  Anyone who is not an intellectual cripple must see that by now.  The only solutions are all-out open warfare against every predators who is a supporter of, or a part of any "government"... or to hide out in some extremely out-of-sight place in the boonies (or in outer space if and when private entities can establish self-sufficient digs there).

The sad fact is this.  At least 99% will be content to become overt slaves (as if they aren't already).  That's the most revolting fact of all, and the main reason the "lock and load" crowd have little chance of success.

PS:  I wonder how many people realize that anyone who would advocate the above proposals is the utimate extremist.

The British aristocracy and elites have always been fascists. So now we know the extremists are the ruling class of gazillionaires and their managers. If we all take one with us as we go we'll soon be free of the bastards so that those surviving can begin again and maybe this time get it closer to being right.
