I will point out at this time that some of what I see and say seem paranoid and I am, from time to time, accused of just that. So take what I am writing here with a pinch of salt though I will include my thinking to support my theory. I was answering a post on Facebook about events today and I paused and thought about things. Something I do is see patterns of possibilities and probabilities. I use logical or intuitive thinking to create chains of events in my mind. I have been seeing things forming for the last few days but an off the cuff comment I was typing today created an entire pattern of events in my thoughts. Distraction and confusion. Three major events are happening. One of which is very damaging to not only the government but also to the political class at large. One is a blatant move to attract the female vote for the next election. One is the next step (and a big one) in the steady erosion of freedom and democracy in this country. Each event is big, each began to attract massive attention but each has been eclipsed by the next. Distraction and confusion. Everyone is so focused on Butler Sloss and how unsuitable she was that they have forgotten about the enquiry that she was supposed to head. She was reported to be the ideal choice and yet simple and quick investigation has revealed multiple problems and conflicts of interest. Anyone in a position to know her background would quickly have found that she was unsuitable and yet she was picked anyway. So she was placed in the position where her ability to head the investigation was untenable. She resigned. Media and public concern over how unsuitable she was and what a bad choice she was will create pressure that will mean that any candidate for the role will now require extensive checking which will cause significant delays. It will be months before this is sorted out, months before the investigation can start and months of time to deal with, correct or edit any evidence that points to people too powerful to be identified. Picking her was either an example of political incompetence and an unexpected problem or the result of careful thought and planning. Distraction and confusion. Last week an announcement was made of an ‘Emergency Law, the Data Retention law. This was being rushed through before the close of Parliament for the summer. It was bought up on Friday and many MPs stood up to support it without ever having read it since it was not released until after the Friday session in which it was announced. I have seen numerous reports that this is a repeat of the snoopers charter, less powerful in some areas but with a wider and deeper reach in others. The same legislation that was so rigorously opposed before by many including the Lib Dems is now being blindly supported by them. This law is supposedly based on a ruling of the ECHR that was made three months ago but it is being rushed through now, is this yet another example of political and Whitehall incompetence or a deliberate effort to deny people the time to read and consider the law before it is rammed through with all party support. Given that much of what it covers (much but not all) is currently being done this law is not so much an expansion of the police state but rather it is legal justification of the loss of freedom and democracy that has been steadily happening over the years. This law ‘Allows’ the things that are already happening or makes more people affected by including companies and communications networks outside of the UK. Also by being Law it removes a lot of the need for oversight so the government is no longer subject to demands to investigate if they can claim that any monitoring is being done in compliance with the law. The fact that they are changing the law to justify the spying is the problem. A huge thing, front page news. Of vital importance to our Freedom and Democracy. Legislation to justify Stasi level spying and intrusion in our digital lives and communications, rushed through to deny us the time to carefully examine it. But it has been total eclipsed by other Huge Media Events. The debate is today but all that anyone is talking about is Butler Sloss or the Reshuffle. Coincidence or it is a massive and carefully planned distraction? The reshuffle. A bloodbath of the middle aged male cabinet ministers done in the last few days of parliament. A few teasers over the weekend, an announcement promised for Monday but then delayed until Tuesday. Many significant and powerful ministers moving, resigning or being given the chop. Old men out, young women in. A sweeping change. The teachers will be happy to see the back of Gove but then teachers are more powerful than the unemployed or disabled. A teachers strike is loud and noticed, the disabled or unemployed cannot strike and few would pay attention. So IDS is still squatting there spreading suffering. But apart from that it is huge, very newsworthy. Front page stuff. It has replaced everything else that is happening today, none of the media are talking about that other minor event happening today, some boring debate in parliament about some new law being rushed through. Forget that, parliament is boring, this reshuffle is big, high profile, go with the reshuffle, forget the D.R.I.P. Coincidence or it is a massive and carefully planned distraction? Butler Sloss, at exactly the same time as the cabinet reshuffle which is also distracting the media and public attention from the D.R.I.P. vote which is today . It could be a co-incidence that all three major events are happening at the same time, it could be just incompetence that Butler Sloss was picked for that role and then revealed to be unsuitable at the same time that DRIP is being forced through and at the same time that the bloodiest cabinet reshuffle in decades is happening. It could be just coincidence. I feel this is deliberate. I feel No 10 is being advised by someone both extremely smart and very very capable, a true master of manipulation and control. This whole situation looks to be stage managed brilliantly to distract from the loss of freedom and democracy represented by the police state monitoring bill that is being rushed through with its nonexistent 'Emergency' and to delay and confuse an investigation into the abuse of children by politicians. I am impressed by the skill and intelligence at work here. A truly masterful example of media manipulation and social control. Of course it could just be me being paranoid. |
