UK Enforcing NeoCon Groupthink by Criminalizing Free Speech

Our most basic democratic principle of government: the understanding that government and politics are merely constructs of the governed, is being sacrificed daily in pursuit of expediency in the name of victory. Freedom of speech and the principle of consent of the governed are more and more often being trammelled, and even trampled daily, as a matter of course.

In the latest dispatch from the front lines, we learn the following from the pages of Britain's Daily Mail newspaper:

"Maya Anne Evans, a 25-year-old cook, became the first person to be prosecuted under the law which bans unauthorised demonstrations within one kilometre of Westminster after reciting the names of British soldiers killed in Iraq outside the gates of Downing Street...

..She was found guilty of breaching Section 132 of the Act, given a conditional discharge and ordered to pay £100 towards costs.

The vegan cook from Hastings, Sussex, was arrested on October 25 as she stood next to the Cenotaph, outside Downing Street, reading out the names of 97 British soldiers killed in Iraq."

As a BBC NEWS documentary, concerning the NeoCons and Radical Islamists, still effectively banned in the United States, has put it: such is "The Power of Nightmares" in a world where we allow fear to dominate our civic lives, that those with the darkest imaginations become the most powerful.

I urge anyone with an open mind to view this documentary, and/or read the associated online content. The series may be downloaded at no cost from here: http://www.archive.org/details/ThePowerOfNightmares

Welcome to what was formerly Mr. Orwell's purely literary nightmare. Your clock has now been synchronized to read 1984.
