UK thugs get court approval to seize and search people's memories

samedi 31 août 2013 à 14:00

In a setback for journalism, UK thugs were given court approval to seize and search people's memories for "communication of material to an enemy". This is meant to refer to leaked information about dirty deeds that the government is keeping secret from its principal enemy, the people. Naturally, knowledge of these dirty deeds might help other enemies too, so this is a pretext for the state to attack all the enemies at once.

This is in addition to material that "could be useful to terrorists", which covers almost anything when applied to someone assumed to be inclined towards terrorism.

The UK laws invoked are blatant disrespect for human rights, as are many of the "anti-terror" laws there and in other countries. Terrorism exists, but it is a minor danger compared with the deadly practices these laws are used to cover up.
