First it was announced that anyone leaving England had to go through a check point where they would be required to divulge 53 pieces of information to officials. This information would be put in a permanent data base. Then it was announced that the government was authorizing local police forces to be able to search without a warrant any "suspicious" people boarding or exiting commuter trains and buses or any other kind of public transit. All of these controls adding to British being the most watched (more government video surveillance) populace on the planet.
As the uproar started to escalate, guess what? It then was announced that financial information on 11 million families (on two DVD discs) had been lost. Opps!
What a marvelous way to distract everyone from more and more Big Brother in action. Of course, two days after this diversion was created, it was hinted that maybe just maybe the discs had been merely misplaced and could soon be found (an intensive search was underway).
In order to appreciate this we have to understand what politicians and their masters call the "news cycle". They know that news stories come and go, and that if you have a dangerous story going into the "cycle" the best way to kill it is to create a distraction. So while the smoke and mirrors of modern politics in Britain is just beginning to notice the latest Big Brother social control anti-freedom initiative, then is put in place a really stupid distracting story, and the "news cycle" moves on to the next thing.
We see this also in America, where all kinds of stories drive the Iraq war from everyone's attention. First it was a lot of scary stuff about Iran, and now it is a complete meltdown in a small aspect of the world of finance. In fact it is beginning to look like the Lords of Finance have a whole string of distracting things coming down the line just so they can slip in more and more social control measures without the "news cycle" paying too much attention.
Why are they doing this?
Because the world is really falling in the toilet, and the Lords' plan is fairly simple. They plan to end up on top, while the middle class disappears and most of the Western democracies get thirdworlded (like that new verb?). That's right folks, welcome to the 21st Century and the consciously created culling of the herd. You see, from the Lords point of view, if they can create a big die-back in world population (without killing themselves in the process), then there is plenty of oil and other energy resources, because there are less and less (as time goes on) people wanting (and able) to purchase the consumer goods previously used to make certain people filthy rich.
Anyway, social control mechanisms are crucial to the Lords as they ride the chaos that is coming. They are going to have to jail all kinds of leaders among the poor and near poor as things get tougher. If you have the balls to check out the future, rent a DVD of City of Men. The why of the thirdworlding of Britain in this film is a fiction, but the nature of social life 20 years down the line is not.
Its also why the USA built several "castles" (permanent military bases) in Iraq. As the world goes in the toilet, the new private armies (remember Blackwater?) will have a place to hang out from which they can control the whole region (the plans include creating as much chaos in the region as possible, so that the ones with the best military toys win - that is end up able to control the oil).
Don't even ask me about the plans for a world-wide small pox epidemic - you really don't want to know.
