FRANKFURT, Germany, Feb.5, 2004—There can now be little doubt in the minds of independent and free-thinking men and women that the British ruling elite has all but abandoned any pretence of observing the democratic niceties of the post-Cold War era and is now steeling itself for the next phase of conquest and repression. The ongoing coup d'état, which started with the assassination of the antiwar Princess Diana and which continues in the militarization of British domestic and foreign policy under the calculating auspices of the proven war criminal Tony Blair, saw its most recent manifestation in a brilliant diversionary sideshow, the Hutton Inquiry.

The governing British Parliamentary Labour Party, itself an emerging corporate front-end for the arms industry, is now breathing more easily in its other newly found collective persona—a special elite of executive murderers and child killers. Its traditionally pacifist old guard and younger idealists uncomfortable with the new (albeit politically-correct) National Socialism, will continue to raise unsettling questions before they are sidelined and eventually retired or deselected. Like the antiwar and pro-Palestinian George Galloway, they will be deemed irrelevant or marked out as dangerous fringe lunatics out of step with the new order of corporate-military realities.
American readers should be reminded that all this is happening in a country where subject-citizens have no constitutional right to bear arms, indeed have no written constitution at all. Life in the British state has always been a trade-off of personal liberties against fancy welfare benefits and the spurious promise of protection under the common law of the land. In survey after survey, the vast majority of the British people, already by means of CCTV the most closely watched in the western world, have indicated that they are only too happy to carry biometric identity cards and surrender most of their residual freedoms in return for greater "security" and progress in the ever-widening and perpetually insurmountable "war on crime." That their own ruling elite, which history has shown to be ruthless in the brutal suppression of dissent in former colonies and in Ireland, might one day square them through the barrel of a gun and slaughter them as surplus to requirement is an urgent consideration naively absent in their minds.

It is therefore hardly surprising to learn that President
Bush and John Ashcroft, mindful that their own munchkins are tugging at the Wizard's obscuring curtain of lies, are now studying the brilliant coup d'état that spawned the Hutton Report. American citizens, however, may reassure themselves that when the Big Hit comes, and the goon squad begins its killing spree, they at least have the firepower to defend themselves.
In Britain, it will all be over in a day.
