@banana: "0) PREAMBLE
Just as at the end of 1999, the authorities in the UK are propagandising
about the danger of a big catastrophe which causes many deaths, puts
the domestic electricity system out, etc.
Their main propaganda message is:
   *********************************************************
   STAY AT HOME
   LISTEN TO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD
   OH AND KEEP A COUPLE OF PACKETS OF BISCUITS OR SOMETHING
   *********************************************************
This is 'jazzed up' into GO IN, STAY IN, TUNE IN. Just to give a
little frisson to aging jeans-wearers maybe?
In fact, what we should do is:
   *********************************************************
   DISTRUST WHAT THEY SAY
   HOARD STUFF
   TRY TO BE MOBILE
   SHARE STUFF
   HAVEN'T GOT FOOD? FIND OUT WHERE THE RICH KEEP THEIRS
   MUSLIMS AND NON-MUSLIMS, LINK UP
   *********************************************************
1) DISTRUST WHAT THEY SAY
the way the propaganda will be done when the new government pamphlet
comes out will be MORE SOPHISTICATED than it was with the
widely-ridiculed 'Protect and Survive' 'nuclear' pamphlet in 1980.
Membership of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament quadrupled within
a year or so of that pamphlet. This time there may be some sort of
'allowed pseudo-opposition', for intelligence-gathering purposes,
and as a psy-ops safety-valve, but it is extremely unlikely to be on the
same sort of scale.
It is possible that they will start with a smallish 'event' so as
to 'show' that when some people did what it said in the pamphlet,
so many lives were saved; but when some people DIDN'T do what it said
in the pamphlet, many people were killed. 'Save lives; do what your
superiors tell you!'
Remember: the STATE does NOT represent the general interest. It
represents a small private interest, the interest of the rulers.
Doubt and distrust everything they say. It's us against them. What
do they want? What do we want?
If you listen to a government broadcast, then before the very
beginning, think 'WHAT LIES ARE THESE SCUM GOING TO SAY, AND FOR
WHAT REASON?' Discuss with people on that basis.
Above all, they want us under control.
2) HOARD STUFF
DO hoard food! Hoard stuff such as:
- brown rice
- lentils
- oatmeal
- vegetarian mince
- dried fruit
Also hoard WATER.
And hoard PETROL if you have access to, or think you may have access to,
motor vehicles of any kind.
Get a camping stove and some GAS canisters too.
The authorities love to pretend that everything will be in danger
of falling apart if the supermarkets, workplaces, and main roads
are shut. This isn't true. Maybe for the first time, turn off the
telly and use your common sense.
And do it NOW. All it needs are a couple of cubic feet.
If the authorities launch a big anti-hoarding campaign, that's the time
when it's particularly good to hoard, if you haven't done so already.
3) TRY TO BE MOBILE
The authorities want to ISOLATE you. That's why they want you at home,
listening to their lies, only going out when some local officials
(having orgasms for the first time in their lives) have ordered you to,
maybe to get an injection, maybe to get drugged, maybe to get evacuated
if they're going to allow you to, maybe to get your ID card, give a
sample from your body for 'security' reasons'.
They want to know where you are. If they want you at work, well, they
want to make sure you alexis33@example.net. If they're allowing you to have time
off work, they want to make sure you aren't doing anything they don't
like.
They want the population under control.
If there's a food shortage, they don't want RIOTS. They don't want
the sort of rioting crowds of mothers of hungry children who have
started
most of the best-known revolutions.
They don't want HARDY INFORMATION CHANNELS outside the control of the
government.
Where they can't break community, or get people to see things the
way they're supposed to, they may erect rings of steel...or worse.
But DON'T alexis33@example.net. Go to the HILLS and have a HOLIDAY for a while.
Enjoy not thinking about money. Think about what life could be like
without bosses, money, jobs, the State, telly, and mobile phones.
If you're going to be isolated for a while, do it on your OWN terms.
If you don't go to the hills, go out onto the streets. Spread MISTRUST
of anything the authorities say. Get out and about, again on your OWN
terms.
Don't follow leaders, whether they're 'activists' or whoever the fuck
they are.
4) SHARE STUFF
Not just food etc. But also information on our opponents' movements,
organisation, personnel, resources.
5) HAVEN'T GOT FOOD? TAKE IT FROM THE RICH
OK so what if the food does start running out? Well, what do you
need? You need to know WHERE there's food, right? Not where there's
money,
but where there's FOOD.
In the cities, there'll be food at
- the sort of large hotels where important officials stay,
- wherever the judges and magistrates are,
- posh institutions (public schools? posh colleges? cathedral churches?)
- army bases
6) MUSLIMS AND NON-MUSLIMS, LINK UP
Muslims and non-Muslims, LINK UP. On the basis of SHARING and OPPOSING
THE AUTHORITIES, not on some sort of nicy-nicy liberal Uncle-Tom basis.
(I mean, Yvonne Ridley, I ask you!!!) Shun the illusion that we can
'guilt-trip' the authorities into 'respecting' us.

Keep in touch with other people, mobile phones won't work as the

Get some CB radios & some PMR446 radios as the government can't control

Interesting that the UK authorities have denied planning to use the army
to protect the houses of vivisectionists.
Of course it was they themselves who launched the 'speculation' that
they were planning to use the army in the first place.
For all the chattering-class talk about 'spin', this sort of propaganda
and the obvious features of its structure, never gets discussed in the
media for what it really is... In some ways (albeit not all), for all
its so-called sophistication, modern propaganda is just as crude as it
was in the days of Goebbels.

Army may help Oxford animal lab
The Army could be brought in to help Oxford University finish work on a
controversial animal testing centre.
Building contractor Walter Lilly & Co pulled out of the �18m project on
Monday, after a number of high-profile protests by animal rights
activists. 
Lord Sainsbury, the science minister, is reported to be considering
putting troops on standby to help deliveries. They would not be involved
in security. 
A university spokeswoman said support from the government was welcomed. 
The proposal is expected to be among government measures unveiled in the
next two to three weeks aimed at fighting what it calls animal rights
extremists. 
A spokesperson for the Department of Trade and Industry told BBC News
Online: "The government has said it will do whatever is necessary to
combat animal rights extremists. 
"The Home Office, with the support of the Department Trade and Industry
is preparing a paper on how the government is to combat animal rights
extremism. 
"We cannot comment on what is in the paper ahead of its publication, but
Lord Sainsbury has made it clear on many occasions the government will
lend its fullest support to tackling this issue." 
Joan Court staged a 48-hour hunger strike outside the site 
The university is in talks with a new contractor to continue work on the
project at South Parks Road, which it says is currently ahead of
schedule. 
A university spokeswoman told BBC News Online: "The university is very
keen to ensure that its employees can work in safety and can do their
work both to ensure the welfare of animals and advances in medicine. 
"Support from the government in doing so is welcome, but it is unclear
what form that support might take or whether it will be needed." 
Neither the university nor Walter Lilly's parent company, Montpellier
PLC, gave reasons for the builder's withdrawal on Monday. 
Police inquiry 
A police inquiry earlier this year found letters claiming to be from
Montpellier bosses urging shareholders to sell or face action from
animal rights campaigners. 
The Metropolitan Police's National Extremism Tactical Co-Ordination Unit
was called in to investigate after company bosses had paint poured over
their cars. 
Last week, 85-year-old animal rights campaigner Joan Court held a
48-hour hunger strike outside the site. 
Ms Court, a retired midwife from Cambridge and member of the Speak
pressure group, told BBC News Online: "It makes me worried about what is
happening to democracy in this country because in spite of the
smokescreen put up by calling us terrorists, all we are doing is
attempting to protect animals. 
"All our campaigns are entirely peaceful, although they have sometimes
involved civil disobedience such as sitting down in the road. 
"I think the threat of calling in the army is very bad for free speech
in this country." 
Protest march 
Thames Valley Police has drafted in extra officers to patrol a march to
the site by animal rights group Speak on Saturday, at which Ms Court is
speaking. 
Police say the rally after the march must last no longer than an hour,
with a maximum of six people allowed to hand out leaflets and total
numbers limited to 300. 
Some 120 police will be on duty, including evidence gathering teams and
officers on horseback. 
The university says the laboratory is intended to replace existing sites
and will not mean an increase in tests. 
About 98% of the animals there will be rodents, although primates,
ferrets, amphibians and fish could also be used.

Animal activists prompt crackdown on protest 
Full text: read the Home Office paper (pdf) 
Matthew Tempest, political correspondent
Friday July 30, 2004 
The government today moved against animal rights extremists and to
protect biotech research with a trio of new measures to tighten the laws
on protest. 
However, it stopped short of one suggestion that the army should
intervene to protect vivisection laboratories.
Home Office minister Caroline Flint announced that protesting outside an
individual's home would become an offence that could lead to arrest;
three-month bans excluding offenders from domestic properties would be
brought in and existing stalking and harassment laws extended to cover
groups of employees.
The detail of the proposal will make it an offence for a person to be
"outside a home for the purpose of representing to or persuading the
resident, or anyone else, that he should not do something he is entitled
to do, or that he should do something he is not obliged to do, and
causing harassment, alarm or distress to the resident".
The 1997 Protection from Harassment Act will be extended to cover
harassment of two or more people who are connected, such as employees of
the same company.
It would apply even if each individual is harassed on only one occasion,
a Home Office spokesman said.
The new measures came on the same day animal rights protesters lost
their High Court battle to overturn a decision by the deputy prime
minister, John Prescott, to grant planning permission for a primate
research centre in the green belt outside Cambridge.
Ms Flint said they were needed because of a change in tactics by some
animal rights protestors. Extremists had started targeting suppliers,
taxis and people delivering toiletries, she said. "We are talking about
a tiny minority, but their actions are causing a great amount of fear,
and we can't back off from this. We feel there are gaps in the law that
need to be dealt with."
Reforms will also seek to help police and other agencies collaborate
more closely to crack down on extremists. 
The Conservatives supported the move, saying Britain already had the
tightest regulation of animal experimentation in the world and that
driving research abroad would harm animal welfare.
The shadow home secretary, David Davis, said: "We welcome the
introduction of new powers to take action against those who terrorise
people who engage in entirely legitimate research. 
"However, simply introducing new powers won't tackle the problem on its
own. They need to be more vigorously enforced, and the Crown Prosecution
Service and the police must cooperate to ensure people responsible for
this behaviour are brought before the courts and dealt with." 
However, the moves have brought concern from civil rights organisations
worried that the right to protest may be undermined.
Shami Chakrabati, the director of Liberty, said: "I'm a little nervous
of the implications of this new proposed law. It appears to say it would
be an offence to stand outside "a home". Almost any protest is outside
somebody's home.
"I query how necessary this new offence is. David Blunkett already has a
hell of a lot of laws at his disposal.
"Also the broadening of the anti-stalking laws to one single incident
rather than a "course of conduct": that is the broadening of an already
very broad offence - it gets rid off one of the few safeguards."
Ms Chakrabati added: "People have a right to be protected from harm and
harassment, particularly in their own homes. However, this offence seems
capable of capturing the innocent and the menacing alike."
Ms Flint said: "We are not talking about denying people the right to
protest; we are talking about extremist campaigns against companies
involved in animal research and, in more recent times, against the
suppliers to those companies as well."
Ms Flint dismissed a suggestion that troops might be used to guard a new
research laboratory in Oxford, saying: "There are no plans for members
of the armed forces to assist in that alexis33@example.net."
Andrew Butler, of the animal rights group Peta, claimed today the entire
movement was being "demonised" and treated with a "very broad brush". 
While he condemned violence, he doubted that the measures would deter
those who were determined to carry on their activities. He also urged
the industry to spend more money on developing alternatives to animal
testing. 
Brian Cass, managing director of Huntingdon Life Sciences, welcomed the
announcement. "The present law allows people to protest and then the
police have to ask them to move," he said. "Only if they refuse to move
or come back later is it actually breaking the law. We believe strongly
that should be illegal to begin with." 
Jean-Pierre Garnier, the chief executive of Britain's biggest drug
company, Glaxo SmithKline, said earlier this week his employees were
being "terrorised" by extremists, whom he condemned as "despicable
cowards". 
Mr Garnier said he knew of other companies that had refused to invest in
research facilities in the UK because they could not guarantee the
safety of their staff. 
Glaxo itself was spending tens of millions of pounds on protecting staff
and buildings from militants, he added. 
Although companies have won civil injunctions barring individual
activists from approaching the homes of specific scientists, it has
proved more difficult to deal with groups protesting outside their
employees' addresses.
