HUMANITY vs INSANITY - 7.30pm Monday Night ... MAYBE! FRACKING NIGHTMARE - 9.00pm Monday Night ... MAYBE! |

Well, guys, the time is now, cos they're grabbing us by the short and curlies, and trying to take down us activists; they're coming at us from all sides now. This is the Quickening. From threats to regulate the press, to Internet censorship, the powers-that-be are finding many ways to control dissent. The Internet is being militarized, laws are being worked over, and political activists are the next target.
 been targeted by an organisation called ATVOD, an offshoot of Ofcom. ATVOD (Authority for Television on Demand) has singled out the UK Column, and insisted they must submit to being regulated, simply for being 'television like'. ATVOD's current directory of regulated groups is mainly made up of porn sites, and big players in the video-on-demand sector, such as CBS, 4OD, and the BBC.
After being threatened with a fine of £250,000 for non-compliance, the UK Column decided to take a stance against ATVOD by removing all of its videos from YouTube. Now we get to watch Mike and Brian sitting in a car, or at their kitchen table, doing all they can to not be at all 'television like'. Yeah, 'television like'. There are thousands (millions?) of videos on YouTube which could be classed as being 'television like'. There's the rub: almost every conceivable format has been shown on TV. So how can any production not be deemed to be 'television like'? The UK Column were forced to chat to each other in a car, to not look at the camera too much, to not use techniques used by TV producers. If only ATVOD could clearly define what 'TV like' actually means ... You see, they have described it as a "dynamic" and evolving concept, so it seems this is a concept which can only be understood by ATVOD, or a team of lawyers. The definition of 'TV like' evolves along with what TV is actually like, but these days, much of the (linear) programming is 'reality TV', just like most of YouTube. Perhaps there is no format which could not be classed as 'like TV' unless it is very short, or poorly produced! Ofcom spawned ATVOD to "create a level playing field" between video-on-demand services which compete with linear TV services, and to regulate content, but the UK Column are not competing with linear TV in any way, and the last thing any activist wants is for their editorial to be monitored and regulated by a government quango. This is a huge red alert! The Internet is supposed to allow free speech, But wait - could it be that all protestors are classed as domestic extremists? Jenny Jones, who is a Peer (House of Lords), and a member of the Green Party, has been put on the domestic extremist list, and surveilled. All she did was stick up for a pensioner who didn't want to be on the list just for being a protestor! The Domestic Extremism Unit here in the UK has compiled a huge watchlist, but what constitutes a domestic extremist? "Domestic Extremism relates to the activity of groups or individuals who commit or plan serious criminal activity motivated by a political or ideological viewpoint" (Viewpoints which include opposition to FRACKING, capitalism, and austerity! - Source)
NetPol, the Network for Police Monitoring, has identified the problem with this definition of domestic extremism; it comes down to the way 'serious crime' is defined: The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA), which regulates the powers of public bodies to carry out surveillance, says that one of the tests of a 'serious crime' is whether someone with no previous convictions could reasonably be expected to be sentenced to imprisonment for a term of three years or more." However section 81(2b) of RIPA also includes this alternate test: That the conduct involves the use of violence, results in substantial financial gain or is conduct by a large number of persons in pursuit of a common purpose.(Source) It's that last bit that gives serious cause for concern, does it not? And a wry nod to the twist on the term 'common purpose'.... Can you believe it has come to this? The voice of the resistance cannot be quelled, for dissent cannot be regulated. It's high time we all became active activists, by getting away from the Internet! NetPol are "encouraging activists to submit subject access requests "to find out who is on the secret police databases, and Brian and Mike suggest phoning ATVOD to seek clarification on the definition of 'television like', and to raise awareness of the issue generally. Internet activism is not enough.
Spread the word and do something!

If the real and full truth comes out about what really goes on away from the public eye it will bring down the British political establishment across all parties and make the monarchy history.
So what is going on? It's all in The Biggest Secret, first published amid the usual dismissal and ridicule in 1998, but who's laughing now?

We need to reassert our constitution now & "lawfully rebell" (stand in lawful rebellion) as soon as possible... while we still have time. Come November 1st 2014 we will be swallowed up by the European Union & thus be under Napoleonic law ( Guilty before proven innocent) where as under Commmon law we are "innocent until proven guilty"...The gates of hell don't even begin to describe it, if we fail uphold our constitution.
We have merely a matter of weeks until Novermber 1st, effort & determination can stop this... its time to decide whether we want common law freedom or European Union enslavement.
