In NSW, great slews of legislation over the past year have increased powers for everything from police to sniffer pups and train guards and vastly reduced the rights of individuals to engage in civil disobedience, freedom of expression and communication with each other.The prison population will be vastly increased as these laws take effect and we cant see that this will in any way improve the lot of the NSW people.
So you may ask what do we do? Just let [governments] blow us all up [on the dance floor]? No, we look for ways to make people come together for a better world.
"The dead are mauled by state terror and the scavengers of [that] terror reach out to pick up the scraps. These scavengers like John Howard, NSW Police, Bob Carr, ASIO and now Queensland police, as well as many others who seek more power and want to pick the flesh of the dead right down to the bone by exploiting the terror [false flag operations.]"
Premier Bob Carr says the powers would be triggered if police have reasonable grounds to believe there is an imminent threat of an attack, [scapegoats for the Coalition of the Killing's illegal and degrading resource wars on Afghanistan and Iraq] or if an actual strike has occurred [false flag operation occurred.]
Carr: "Then they would be lifted, I respect civil liberties concerns with legislation like this and I think we can meet the concerns of civil libertarians," he said.
"But in the security situation we face these powers sadly are necessary".
[In the fear mongering, propaganda and state terror including false flag operations we face sadly these powers are pre-meditated and unnecessary.]

"If there is a target person the police would have powers in relation to that type of person," Mr Costa said.

Prime Minister John Howard says the Federal Government would not have issued a terror alert if it had not come from a credible source. (America?)
