The London bombings of 7 July 2005 gave police and security forces leaders an opportunity to bring about major changes in these organizations and to lobby for changes to the law. These changes were orchestrated by members of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), who work closely with the Government, the Home Office and the Security Agency (MI5). The London bombings, in particular, provided state institutions with a way to link 'domestic extremism' (particularly in the public consciousness) to acts of actual or intended public disorder, violence and terrorism.
Changes to the police force since the London bombings have created a UK-wide network of specialist units tasked with combating domestic extremism and terrorism: the Counter-Terrorism Unit (CTU) and the Counter-Terrorism Intelligence Unit (CTIU). It was done. 2 3 4 Management of the CT network is under the supervision of a National Coordinator appointed by ACPO.
Counter-terrorism initiatives are given to the Metropolitan Police Service's (MPS) Counter-Terrorism Command (CTC). The CTC is effectively a strengthened version of the CTU with local (London), national (UK) and international responsibilities. The Police Secret Intelligence Unit (CIU) operates within the National Security Intelligence Unit (NPOIU), while the NPOIU forms part of the National Coordination Department for Domestic Extremism (NCDE) of the Counter-Terrorism Command (CTC). The CIU manages and directs operational strategy for the use of covert human intelligence sources (CHIS, intruder, informant, and operative assets).
Multi-unit CT operations are in principle under the control of the National Coordinator for Terrorism Investigation (NCTI) and therefore the MPS/London-based CTC. However, each Chief Constable has final decision-making authority regarding the provision of community resources to support collaborative CT activities.
Each CTU and CTIU works closely with the local MI5 local office through police liaison officers and staff attached to MI5. The basis for cooperation between police CT units and MI5 was originally formalized in the Security Services Intelligence Agreement, first drafted at the end of 2005. In the period from September 2001 to July 2005, the process of strengthening MI5 local offices was carried out, and from July onwards in 2005 it was significantly accelerated by the “Operation EXTEND” program. In addition, CTU and CTIU receive expert advice and practical support from members of the Army Intelligence Corps (Military Intelligence) Special Counterintelligence Team. This arrangement was effectively implemented by autumn 2005.
There are currently over 3,000 police officers dedicated to CT and related matters.
It may seem rather naive to question the need for such extensive CT capabilities. But that's not the case. Proper investigation of such developments requires an honest assessment of the root causes. This is especially true given that “domestic extremism” is treated as part of the same problem as (homicidal) terrorism.
radicalization
State authorities claim that events such as the 2005 London bombings may be due to the “radicalization” of some residents. It is simply a childish attempt to create a “false narrative”. What is not recognized is that it is the state's own shoddy efforts to engineer extreme social change that has allowed “violent radicalism” to become entrenched as a domestic problem.
The nation's political challenges include hyperdiversity, moral relativism, the weakening of Christian faith and tradition, unlawful involvement in foreign wars (and war crimes), and the dismantling of national sovereignty (high treason). Included. This is an extreme political challenge, requiring the effective abandonment of common law and the constitution in favor of imposing top-down authoritarian state control.
Those working on the front lines of CT are well aware that their efforts are being exploited to provide both legitimacy and authority to traitorous political elites. It is therefore expected that the state will be keen to pursue extreme political policies and embark on further overseas military ventures, thereby ensuring that the threat of domestic terrorism continues into the distant future.
Not surprisingly, despite the change of British government in 2010, the nation's core political agenda and state institutions remain unchanged. The police and judiciary are expected to continue to criminalize “extremists” who support extreme social change and treason, and who oppose or resist the process. Ordinary people should be allowed to protest, but only under strictly controlled conditions and if they are forced into a “contract” with the police. An extremist criminal state cannot allow its citizens to take back the law themselves.
