Terrorism Defeats Democracy.

Yesterday (8/6/17) the UK held its General Election. This campaign has been dominated by not one but two Islamist terrorist attacks.

The first of these occurred on May 22nd (22/5/17) and was a suicide bomb attack against the Manchester Evening News Arena (MENA) in the UK city of Manchester. This killed 22 people and wounded 59.

The second of these occurred on June 3rd (3/6/17) and took the form of a low tech marauding run-over and knife attack in the London Bridge area of the UK capital London. This killed 8 and wounded 48.

The purpose of these attacks was to swing the UK election result in favour of the UK Labour Party. The reason for this is that the UK Labour Party have long supported Islamist terror.

Take for example the organisation CAGE UK.

CAGE UK have long supported Al Qaeda preacher Anwar al-Awlaki who has inspired or directed numerous Islamist terror attacks such as;

The November 5th 2009 (5/11/09) Fort Hood shooting in Texas, US in which 13 people were killed.

The failed December 25th 2009 attempt to blow up Northwest Airlines flight 253 on route from the Netherlands to Detroit US.

The April 15th 2015 (154/13) Boston Marathon Bombings in Boston, US in which 3 people were killed and 280 wounded.

In 2007 CAGE UK successfully campaigned to have al-Awlaki freed from prison in Yemen. Upon his release the first person al-Awlaki spoke to was CAGE UK's director and former Guantanamo Bay inmate Moazzam Begg. In 2008 CAGE UK invited al-Awlaki to the UK to appear at an event to raise funds for the group.

Between 2009 and 2012 CAGE UK helped a young man named Mohamed Emwazi avoid prosecution for Islamist terror offences. Emwazi went on to become better known as; "Jihadi John" - the high profile killer for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

When Jihadi John's identity was revealed CAGE UK issued a statement declaring him to be; "A beautiful young man who is extremely kind and gentle." Apparently the consider beheading non-Islamist terrorists to be a gentle form of kindness.

In October 2014 while Jihadi John was still on his murderous rampage the UK police prosecuted CAGE  UK director Moazzam Begg for terrorism offences. They also tried to seize the group's assets to prevent them being used to support acts of terrorism.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn stepped in writing a public letter in support of CAGE UK and used his position to exert political pressure over the case. This prosecutions against Begg were dropped along with the efforts to seize CAGE UK's assets.

The other extremely high profile case of Labour supporting Islamist terror groups was the death of Labour MP Jo Cox. Jo Cox had wholly illegally used her position as an MP to not only provide political support to but also funnel millions of dollars in support to ISIL and Al Qaeda in Syria and Iraq.

Therefore Jo Cox's should have triggered a counter-terrorism investigation into her criminal activity. However as they did with the CAGE UK cases the Labour Party immediately started exerting pressure on the police and the investigation was dropped really before it got started.

It is very easy to see why a terrorist attack would damage a governing party and help an opposition party.

Much of politics in the western world is based on the work of philosopher John Locke. He introduced the concept of The Social Contract. Basically this states that citizens give up part of their freedoms and money to the government. In return the government protects the citizens.

A terror attack obviously blows a hole in this Social Contract at its most basic level.

The MENA bombing was organised in Libya. This was done specifically to highlight how the Conservative government of David Cameron had completely ignored the Social Contract by using taxpayer's money to make them less safe by giving it to Islamist terror groups in Libya.

The hope being that the UK electorate is so poorly informed they would fail to notice that David Cameron is no longer Prime Minister. He has been replaced by Theresa May was the Home Secretary (Interior Minister) under David Cameron. Libya, Syria and Iraq are definitely aspects of foreign rather than domestic policy.

Due to the complexity of the portfolio it is a tradition that the job of Home Secretary is given to the Prime Minister's worst enemy. The hope is that it will either keep them too busy to mount a leadership challenge or they will fail miserably. Theresa May was David Cameron's Home Secretary for six years.

The Labour Party's response to the MENA bombing and the London Bridge attacks was to shamelessly leap on the support they were being given by the attackers.

Following the MENA bombing Jeremy Corbyn re-launched Labour's campaign with a speech blaming the attacks on the west's War on Terror which actually ended back in 2011. The reasoning behind this is so flawed it borders on a learning disability.

The September 11th attacks of course took place on September 11th 2001 (11/9/01). The War on Terror did not begin until October 7th 2001 (7/10/01). Saying the events of October 2001 caused the events of September 2001 is the sort of flawed conspiracy theory that particularly Islamist terrorists use to justify their violence.

If you were to demonstrate to a psychiatrist that you were unable to grasp the concept that an event cannot be influenced by an event which occurred after it you would fail a mental state assessment. This would lead to you then being assessed to see whether you have £23,000 to pay for your care in a residential care facility. You would also lose your right to vote.

Following the London Bridge attacks Labour started campaigning on the claim that Theresa May's cuts to police numbers as Home Secretary had allowed the attacks to take place. This is equally false.

The problem with this type of marauding attack is that in order to stop it you need large numbers of armed police officers at the scene the moment the attack begins. There was actually a recent incident in Israel where two busloads of armed soldiers did not stop a run-over attack.

So if you want the police numbers to prevent a repeat of the London Bridge attack you are talking about having 15-20 armed police officers stationed every 500 metres/yards on every street. This turns Britain into a totalitarian police state.

Communists like Jeremy Corbyn might aspire to East German Stasi-style state but I'm pretty sure most people in Britain don't.

The most cynical thing that the Labour Party did in response to the MENA and London Bridge attacks was to market voting Labour as a victory for democracy and an act of resistance against terrorism. They particularly aimed this campaign at young, first time voters.

Due to the failure of the British media and, yes, the British criminal justice system these voters were not properly informed about the Labour Party's close links to both the MENA and London Bridge attackers. As a result many young voters seem to have been taken in by this charade.

The result of this is that Britain has failed to elect a government. With Britain technically being at war whilst going negotiating its exit from the European Union (EU) this is the worst possible outcome. Worse even then a Labour government.

Fortunately before taking up office British MP's must swear a loyalty oath. This requires them to pledge to be loyal to the King/Queen and uphold all UK laws. This includes the 2006 Terrorism Act and the specific offences such of the glorification of terrorism and terrorists.

In a speech last night Labour candidate for Newcastle Chi Onwurah praised and glorified known terrorist Jo Cox. As such she cannot take the oath to become an MP.

Unless the Labour Party formally rejects Jo Cox and any members who have glorified Jo Cox or other terrorists, terrorist groups or terrorist acts none of their 260 other candidates can become MP's.

This will reduce the number of MP's needed for a majority from 326 to just 65. That will give the Conservatives a very stable majority of 256.

I still think though the best thing to do is to re-run the election. Only this time with a properly informed electorate.

17:10 on 9/6/17 (UK date).
