This is What a Police State Looks Like...


Philip Brennan | PhilipBrennan.net | 29 April 2011:

Charlie Veitch was arrested on the morning of the 28th of April by Cambridge police, upon the orders of the Metropolitan Police, for the pre-crime of possibly protesting peacefully at the Royal Wedding.

Yesterday morning, Silkie, Charlie Veitch's partner, sent an urgent email to Infowars and other Alternative News web sites / activists:

Hi guys,

My apologies for sending this to multiple emails – this news is important and needs to get out quick, and these are the only Infowars addresses I have.

My boyfriend, Charlie Veitch of the Love Police (UK) was arrested today from our own home on suspicion of a ‘conspiracy to cause a public nuisance’ tomorrow at the Royal Wedding. By nuisance, they mean speaking freely in a public space, which is what Charlie does. He went to the police recently, on his own accord, to discuss how he is entirely non-aggressive and not a threat to them but a friend to them.

If you were wondering if the UK is still a democracy – the answer is evidently no. I have never known so many democratic activists be arrested, not only on suspicion of thought-crime, speech-crime, or political assembly crimes – but now actually these ‘offenses’ as PRE-crime?!

My name is Silkie – I am Charlie’s partner and a student of politics and psychology at The University of Cambridge. I would very much like to get the word out to your listeners/readers.

I’d particularly ask anyone who is similarly outraged by this to call (+44) 845 456 456 4 and ask for the custody block, who will be quite aggresive and rude (as they have been to me), in order to maintain the pressure and demand his release.

A Facebook page has already been created to work towards Charlie Veitch's freedom, and a Twitter hash tag, #freecveitch, is now in use.

As I said in my article yesterday, concerning the dawn raids of several squats around London, those who still refuse to acknowledge that we're now living in a Communitarian Police State are in for a very rude awakening indeed.

Needless to say, as we go further into this Police State tyranny, we shall see more such arrests for pre-crime and the use of FTAC to silence political dissidents, along with even more underhand and tyrannical methods.

The only option left open to us now is to peacefully and lawfully overthrow the entire political system of the United kingdom, before we find ourselves living in a country that resembles the former DDR under the tyranny of the Stasi. The threats to our civil liberties have really become that severe, and the only way to stop our tyrannical government dead in its tracks is its complete overthrow through Lawful Rebellion under Article 61 of the 1215 Magna Carta.

Therefore, I now declare absolute Lawful Rebellion against the tyrannies of the British Government, and will use every power afforded to me under the 1215 Magna Carta, the 1689 Bill of Rights, and the 1700 Act of Settlement to seek its complete and utter overthrow.

...UPDATE! - More Pre-Crime Arrests...

Over a dozen British police officers engaged in a "pre-crime" arrest of a university professor and a street theater group yesterday, in what activists called a "Minority Report"-style crackdown ahead of the royal wedding.

Professor Chris Knight, 68, a former anthropology lecturer at the University of East London, had planned to engage in a bit of street theater with a group of activists that were dressed in medieval garb. According to reports, the group had constructed a fake guillotine and planned to stage a mock execution of Prince Andrew Edward, the queen's second oldest son.

A member of the group who was not arrested told The Guardian that the other two activists police roped in were Camilla Power and Patrick Macroidan.

The police apparently learned of the activists' plans through surveillance methods, then staged the arrest outside Knight's home in south east London last night, before the wedding got underway.

A police spokesman told The Guardian they were arrested on the charge of "suspicion of conspiracy to cause public nuisance and breach of the peace."

The group, Meltdown UK, had been planning a "Zombie Wedding" to mark the royals' festivities.

"RIGHT ROYAL ORGY – RUMPY PUMPY AND GUILLOTINES," their website declared. "[We'll] have a spanking new working guillotine, which shall be surrounded by all manner of rumpy pumpy on the duvet day of all duvet days, by order of the Government of the Dead... Some Cuts Are Necessary! May Royal Heads Roll!"

The group added that their street theater would be a "non-terrorist event."

In video published to YouTube, Professor Knight, who now lectures at the University of Comenius in Slovakia, is seen laying down on the pavement, forcing officers to carry him into their vehicle.

Knight lost his tenure at the University of East London in 2009, after he made statements ahead of the G20 meeting in London that management objected to.

He reportedly told a BBC radio station: "We are going to be hanging a lot of people like Fred the Shred from lampposts on April Fool’s Day and I can only say let’s hope they are just effigies. To be honest, if he winds us up any more I’m afraid there will be real bankers hanging from lampposts and let’s hope that that doesn’t actually have to happen."
