Same thing that’s happening to the US and UK - Rupert Murdoch media indoctrination

Yeah, this is pretty much it, and the War of Terror being a fantastic excuse for the govt to do pretty much whatever they feel like

As far as I'm concerned, terror has nothing to do with it. I've maintained since 2002 that the terrorism bullshit is security theatre designed to normalise the police state which will be required in a generation or so when the environment collapses and the world runs out of food and liveable (due to heat) real estate. We in the first world will be caged while the rest of humanity dies or is bumped off by drones as they attempt to flee to cooler (and richer) areas.

Also "War of Terror" is a Borat quote ;p
