At the outset let me explain that before I was blocked by the Twitter account run by Palestine Action – the group about to be proscribed as a terrorist organisation for graffitiing a couple of RAF planes (or whatever it was) – I had no interaction with it whatsoever. Either my reputation preceded me (I single-handedly exposed the active military component of National Action and raised awareness of the distinct possibility of the British Army being responsible for that “terrorist” group), or the blocking was something to do with tagging the Royal Airforce to an earlier post – which you will see.
Incidentally, the FBEL Twitter account is suffering at the moment from a squashing by algorithm that is all too routine.
And while yours truly is blocked, every outreach operative and his dog on the platform who wants to pick a fake fight is free to do it:
Finally, with this post I draw attention to the fact that Palestine Action openly states its mission: to get well-meaning people into trouble by association.
You’re UK Government. You’re losing a proxy war. You don’t have means by arms to do anything about it. You can no longer impress your governed with your inevitability that way. So, what do you do?
You launch an operation (suddenly Palestine Action can steal unopposed into RAF Brize Norton?†) to criminalise expression of your weakness so there is no Zeitgeist of it; to introduce by chilling effect self-policing of thought that appreciates your weakness.
Readers of the now-sabotaged From Behind Enemy Lines website will know that I never support trespass and damage to other people’s property. I wouldn’t support Palestine Action for these reasons – if they were an organic agency. They are not. It is understanding this above anything else that renders me immune from being incriminated. I recommend that everyone likewise make themselves safe.
† I’ve just learnt that these vandals moved around the base on bikes. Did those come over the fence, or through it after a hole was cut in the wire? Perhaps, in fact, they were let in at the front gate? But even that might be too complex. Maybe base personnel did the vandalism between beers at the NAAFI?
