Soldiers ‘could fight terrorism on Britain's streets’
Thursday, 4 February 2010
The UK's armed forces could be used on the streets of the Britain to confront the threat of terrorism, under the terms of a strategic defence review (SDR) announced yesterday.
Two of the six “key questions” to be considered by the SDR will focus on domestic threats which “cannot be separated from international security”, according to a Green Paper setting out the grounds for a full scale review to start after the General Election.
Decisions need to be made on the “balance between focusing on our territory and region and engaging threats at a distance” and “what contribution the armed forces should make in ensuring security and contributing to resilience within the UK”.
The paper states: “Stronger, more effective partnership with other Whitehall departments, the intelligence agencies, police forces and others at the national level will become even more important to achieving our security objective.”
One proposal due to be considered was the formation of a rapid reaction force which could be deployed to counter Mumbai-style terrorist attacks and carry out swift operations outside the country.
On long-term missions overseas the economic circumstances meant that Britain will have to co-operate more closely with international allies like France, said the paper. While the US remained Britain's most important strategic ally, much closer co-operation should take place with other countries.
“In Europe, the return of France to Nato's integrated military structure offers an opportunity for even greater co-operation with a key partner across a range of defence activity” it added.
The main theme of the Paper was “adaptability”, imperative due to varying demands on limited resources. The 52-page document admitted that although commanders on the ground in Afghanistan have shown the ability to adapt rapidly to challenges this had been undermined by the system in London.
The Paper made it clear that the SDR will have to carried out against the backdrop of the £178bn deficit in the public finances but the £20bn updating of the Trident nuclear programme, will also go ahead.

Wake up folks ... Most "terrorism"
are false flag operations engineered to implement agendas
the public would never otherwise
agree to (invasions, draconian
laws etc.)
Whenever a "crisis" happens always ask yourself who profits and benefits
monetarily, economically, politically, geo-politically etc.. Who has the means, motive and money to carry it out and frame another party... Look at the
timing of the surprise "crisis",
what issues, investigations are
wiped off the media radar as
the public's attention is all so
conveniently diverted.
Not all acts of terror are false
flags, but clearly false flag
operations are the oldest
trick in the book... Wake up
people, connect the dots...
The war on terror is a war on
you!

reading this article, it looks like we are seeing a convergence of our own security apparatus and that of the united `states. They already have these measures in place and posse commitatus seems to have been forgotten over there.
I suggest something rather big and nasty is around the corner, certainly not terrorists. who are a mere pretext to enact draconian measures.
I suggest the governments of the major powers are aware of something not too pleasant these next few years maybe as 2012 arrives.
I suggest they are planning for a complete lock down and these measures are the security web they are slowly getting in place.
please look at the many presidential directives are related to a security clampdown of one sort.

It seems the Belfast Telegraph doesn`t just censor "offensive and abusive" comments, they censor anything that lives outside the NWO box.

The reality is that the government is scared witless about the next economic downturn. The designed financial collapse has a long way to go...all that bailout money, your debt, has just held the ship steady..there`s no more money and now the ship is about to founder..this is why the government needs troops on the streets!!
Remember, two heads of MI5 has said as a matter of fact, there are 2000+ active terrorists in the UK...they still walk the streets of Britian...assuming they really exist.lol
They used troops on the Menezes assassination and I know for a fact that they have used troops dressed as police at London Heathrow. See whats coming and stock food before the shelves go bare!!!
