    Operation Temperer – U.K. Will Likely Institute Martial Law Measures Within A Year

    After the Manchester suicide bombing only two weeks ago I warned my readers that the repetition of terror attacks is breeding complacency within the public, in Europe most acutely. It is not uncommon now for attacks killing dozens to be forgotten within a week of the event. The news feeds are awash in distraction, and of course, sometimes these events themselves act as distractions.

    In a recent newscast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”, BBC anchor Katty Kay stated:

    Europe is getting used to attacks like this, Mika. They have to, because we are never going to be able to totally wipe this out…”

    To me, this attitude is rather indicative of the European victim-culture mindset. Many in Europe (not all, but many) seem to enjoy a steady routine of self-flagellation. Countless centuries of the feudal serf system will do that to a society. The British still pay taxes to maintain a royal family, after all. I also think that the results of the Brexit vote in the UK might mislead those of us in America into thinking that the the British are turning over a new leaf in terms of liberty and conservative-like values. While I do think there is a fierce underlying drive to protect sovereignty of the British nation, the British individual has all but abandoned any hope of their own personal sovereignty and self determination.

    In mainland Europe the self-loathing natural born citizen has become a bit of a mainstay and has been exploited quite successfully by the globalist establishment. In particular, the great fear among predominantly liberal Europeans is a return to the nationalist fervor that they believe spawned the rise of Nazism and the Third Reich (I have written numerous articles outlining the involvement of the corporate and banking elite in funding and supplying vital technology to the Nazis before and during WWII). It is this “guilt” of association with the Nazi legacy that has left Europe vulnerable to manipulation from the other end of the political spectrum – the socialist/Marxist end.

    It is also this mindset that allowed globalists to forcefully inject millions of Muslim immigrants through open border policies and refugee policies into EU nations without proper vetting procedures. The majority of Europeans that saw the policy as irrational and dangerous were afraid to say anything for fear that they would be labeled “fascists”.

    The greatest threat is not only the conditioning of the population to accept cultural invasion without assimilation. Nor is the greatest threat the pacification of the populace in the face of rampant terror attacks. No, the pinnacle threat is what will inevitably come next – the apathy of a nation in the wake of incremental martial law and the death of personal liberty.

    This past week, a team of three Muslim men struck pedestrians with a white van, then emerged wielding hunting knives in a rampage through a crowded London night spot. This is only one attack in a steady stream that have plagued Europe ever since the Cloward-Piven program of Muslim relocation allowed millions of “refugees” into the EU’s borders. The vaporous ISIS terror group has since claimed responsibility.

    In response, Prime Minister Theresa May has declared “enough is enough”, and demanded a review of the UK’s counter-terrorism strategy. London police have been asked to adjust to new tactical conditions, patrolling streets heavily armed and utilizing surveillance helicopters with the aid of special forces units.

    NOTE – After finishing this article on Sunday, I find this quote from Theresa May on Tuesday:

    “We should do even more to restrict the freedom and the movements of terrorist suspects when we have enough evidence to know they present a threat, but not enough evidence to prosecute them in full in court.”

    “And if human rights laws get in the way of doing these things, we will change those laws to make sure we can do them…”

    The deployment of over 5000 British troops at strategic locations by Theresa May is all part of a plan established in 2015 called “Operation Temperer”. The plan calls for the deployment of troops within the UK border in response to “major terrorist threats”. Essentially, it is a martial law program that acts incrementally, rather than overtly. Once implemented, Temperer would be difficult to reverse. As UK military chiefs warned when the operation was publicly exposed, troops would likely not be pulled back after commitment unless the terror threat was “reduced”, leaving the definition of the “threat level” open for rather broad interpretation.

    Operation Temperer is now in full swing as police departments ask for military aid. The prime minister has obliged, replacing officers in numerous locations with military units on patrol. So, is this “martial law”? Perhaps not quite, but it is damn close to the line, and this is how tyranny is commonly implemented; not all at once, but a stepping stone at a time.

    First, I would point out that May introduced Temperer measures after the Manchester bombing, and they do not seem to have done much to disrupt the latest attack in London. Second, I would also point out that the UK general elections for parliament are only a few days away, and it is highly likely that the latest attacks will solidify Theresa May and her Brexit base. The timing is rather interesting…

    Many in the Liberty Movement would say that this is a good thing; that finally the British will be able to reverse the forced cultural invasion of an incompatible Muslim mass. I would say that this is all part of the plan.

    As I have argued since before the Brexit vote last year, we are witnessing perhaps the largest 4th Gen psy-op in history. The globalists have deliberately engineered conditions by which European nations in particular will either be enveloped by an alien ideology with no protection from their own governments, or, they will have to respond with overarching countermeasures. Meaning, Europeans have been given a false choice between the ideological cult of multiculturalism, or, martial law conditions.

    In my view, the UK has been slated for the latter measure, and this makes perfect sense if you understand the game plan of the globalists.

    Brexit and by extension the rise of Donald Trump in the US has been ALLOWED to happen. Despite the delusions of some in the liberty movement, the so-called “deep state” is perfectly positioned to take advantage of both events. They are not opposed in the slightest. Why? Because this is about destroying the name of sovereign nationalism and conservative principles. This is about the long game.

    The UK appears to be first in the line-up. Terror attacks are mounting, May has already initiated Operation Temperer, and the attacks have continued anyway. The solution they will present will be MORE militarization, not less. It is my prediction that after a year of incrementalism and continued attacks, the entire UK will be in the midst of what many would define as full spectrum martial law. The UK government might not openly call it that, but that is what it will be.

    While I personally find Muslim based societies to be abhorrent in their attitude towards individual liberty, I do see a disturbing trend developing on the other side of the coin. Western nations like the UK and the US have every right to defend their borders, to deny immigration from ANYWHERE for any reason, and to deport illegal immigrants and immigrants with provable ties to terror groups. However, the line that should not be crossed but probably will be crossed is the persecution or deportation of people merely for holding particular ideological views.

    Even if the majority of citizens don’t necessarily support an outright broad brush response towards all people that hold Muslim views as potential terrorists, the temptation will be overwhelming, and our respective governments will oblige it. Once we step into the world of thought crime, there is no turning back.

    And, what this does is paint conservative/nationalist movements as monstrous in the eyes of future generations. They will be taught that the globalists “warned the world” about the dangerous “racist” populists and alt-right groups, and look what happened when they came to power; they vaporized the economy (see my previous articles on the Trump scapegoat narrative) and rounded up innocent people because of their belief system even though they committed no specific crimes. My fear is that what is happening here is that conservative movements are going to be driven to such madness in the name of security that we will actually make the globalists look like “good guys” by comparison.

    So, what is the solution? Well, look at the choices the British people have been given: Accept multicultural sublimation without question, or, initiate complete military oversight and sacrifice personal liberty. Are there no other options available?

    What about this: The UK citizenry DEMANDS the return of their right to self defense and the legalization of firearms ownership for those without a criminal background? The real solution is for UK citizens to begin providing their own security, not handing over their country to militarization because they are all disarmed and afraid.

    Will this happen? I seriously doubt it. But, I do want to point out that there is clearly another path far superior to the two being offered.

    Again, I believe the UK will be under martial law in a year’s time. Unless the people of the UK do something NOW to assert their right to determine their own security, they will fall to a complete totalitarian framework. And, in the long run, they will only be helping the very globalists the Brexit movement in particular sought to fight against. They will do this by trampling the image of nationalism and sovereignty with the jackbooted philosophy of externalized security and government dependency, making globalism, the offered antithesis, look pleasant and tolerable in retrospect.

      1. May 27, 2017 Manchester, Berlin, Paris, Nice, London, New York: Passports and IDs Mysteriously Discovered in the Wake of Terror Attacks

        This article reviews the “mysterious” phenomenon of IDs and Passports of terror suspects routinely discovered (often in the rubble) in the wake of a terrorist attack. In most cases the alleged suspect was known to the authorities.

        Jun 5, 2017 London Bridge staged hoax – crisis actors change clothes

        https://youtu.be/3K93jyi0iss

        • What do you mean under martial law? They are already taxed to death, disarmed, and not allowed to bitch about it. So…they have been under martial law their entire life.

          • .

        • BS on your post. Those cops changing cloths were putting on crime scene coveralls, plus blood on police clothing is evidence that has to be preserved.

          Or, their clothes may be contaminated with pepper spray.

          Or they sh!t themselves and needed to change.

          But, no, they were not actors.

          That is stupid.

          • Western Civilization is going down, because White people are afraid to face reality, and fear being called names, more than they fear watching their people be murdered. What a waste.

      2. When Americans believed in sovereignty, an attack by any foreign entity on our fellow Americans could expect the wrath of God to befall the perpetrators. Now that our country has accepted political correctness and the tyranny of the United Nations, we have lost our instinct for survivability. Not all of us, as it will be hell to pay for those that push just a little too far. Don’t believe me, then how did Trump win, why are gun sales through the roof, and why are people realizing the Main Stream Media is the propaganda arm of the Demonrat Party?

        • Well said, cranerigger.

          The article states: Brexit and by extension the rise of Donald Trump in the US has been ALLOWED to happen. Despite the delusions of some in the liberty movement, the so-called “deep state” is perfectly positioned to take advantage of both events. They are not opposed in the slightest. Why? Because this is about destroying the name of sovereign nationalism and conservative principles. This is about the long game.

          This is a WHOLE LOT OF TRUTH!

          • “Europe is getting used to attacks like this, Mika of MSNBC. They have to, because we are never going to be able to totally wipe this out…”

            Yeah Mika’s Dead father was a cause of a lot of this mass immigration problem to destroy Europe. All of these traitors need to be called out. Never let up in telling the truth.

        • We haven’t won a true war since Korean, even that was a draw.

      3. With all those filthy sand-coons over there, good luck people.

        • We should know, 17% of the US population is Africoons, and look how that has destroyed our safety and security in our nation. They commit 75% of the Crimes and murders in the US, fills the prisons and places massive cost on to tax payers, when half of them are on food stamps and single parent breeding like rabbits. Another reason why we need to install some sort of Cut their balls off if they can’t afford children. Make that a condition of accepting welfare and EBT, “Get your tubes tied and cut your balls off with castration.” Or go get a friggin job to support your useless offspring.

          We have created the biggest welfare state on the planet here in the US, and its a fast race to the bottom.

          • Being fair, most of those crimes are against themselves.

            But the laws they result in are intended for everyone else instead of them.

        • Every society have their version of the n!ggers.
          Australia has Aborigines
          Alaska has Inuits and Eskimos
          Mexico has the Mayan Indians

          and now Europe has Muslims.

      4. Good luck trying that here.

        HCKS.

        • Absolutely. Sucks to be a Brit. We are armed up and ain’t gonna put up with that Bullshit.

      5. we shall see…..

      6. Have we not become used to attacks? We do tend to stop caring after a week or two when the news cycle changes to some other horrific thing. We’ve been under martial law for some time now whether it’s called terrorism or war on drugs or war on whatever here in the homeland. The uk cops are just now getting tactical still only a small percentage of them are allowed to carry l, we on the other hand have been flooding small rinks dink police departments the stuff the miltary don’t need. So who is under martial law again?

        • The socialist/government “schools” have always been martial law- enslaving both parents and children.

        • The twitter jokes started about 10 minutes after the Manchester attack.

      7. I hope so: couldn’t think of a country more in need of a social colonic irrigation. There is good legal precedent for such a move in British constitutional law. An emergency period can enable the government to clean up the terrorists and criminals. Canada has done it a few times and it works.

        • Amen, but he is 5 months too late.

          He should have done that on day one.

      8. As ever, when govts fail to preserve and protect the citizenry, the people will defend themselves. Historically once this situation cannot be denied or ignored, the resulting purge has been horrific, bloody, and thorough.
        There has never been an invasion of foreigners such as the present case in the U.S. Diversity + Proximity = War in every country throughout all known history. We are no exception. The only difference will be in the amount bloodshed.
        Propagandized sentiment for the idiocy of ‘diversity is our strength’ can only avoid reality for a finite time. The pendulum is now clearly swinging back as said reality now begins to take hold.

        • The diversity agenda only works if you keep hypothecating and creating debt. Once that stops then you get a scramble for resources and things become based on who you feel comfortable being around. That’s when people look around and notice the angry Muslims and the Africans on welfare.

          At present we already have rising gang violence and brazen attacks. These are signs there is an organised presence who see theft and criminal activity as a viable livelihood. How can it be so hard to shut down a bunch of teenage morons? Race. Police are afraid to take firm action.

          • I have noticed in the last 15 years there has been a massive white flight.

            Not just my city, but everywhere. All the schools are becoming segregated again.

            Good for whites, but not for the blacks. The blacks are victimizing each other and the whites are not around to be the victims of the crimes anymore.

      9. Prepping Hack Water: Does Bottled Water Expire or go Bad?

        NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

        Therefore the easiest way to prep water is to store cheap bottled water from the Grocery Store/Walmart. You DO NOT need to store 50 gallon barrels. Several sources confirm this.

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqNNteplRvE

        • Make sure you store it OUT of direct sunlight. Also, if possible store water in a cool dry place. So, water doesn’t have an expiration date!

          • Yep. Water stored in sunlight or exposed to sunlight breeds algae.

          • Why would it be necessary to store water in a “dry” place?

            • So it doesn’t rust.

            • Because you DON’T want your water getting wet!

              In an emergency, I might get confused as to which water to drink. In other words, I don’t have a clue. I clearly had a brain fart!

              • I LMFAO! That was hilarious! I needed that!

                Louisiana Eagle

        • If you look at your one year old or more bottled water you will see “pepper flakes”.

          That is the iron in the water coagulating.

      10. Western Civilization is done. WWI started the spread of Marxism and it has a global hold. You will be taxed, regulated, denied rights, stigmatized, etc… to death!

        Most Young Americans are indoctrinated and have no idea about history and do not care. They have no respect for anyone or anything. Many repel the concepts of individual liberty, property rights etc…!

        I have never seen anything like it, quite an interesting phenomena.

        • “Young Americans are indoctrinated”

          More than you think. I bet you can’t find a single kid, other than your own, that knows what the bill of rights is.

      11. The third way is the best solution. Hitler’s version of Germany should be instituted throughout all of Europe. Outlaw foreign people holding any high office. This includes the 3ews.

        England for the English. Arrest and deport all foreigners.

        Germans in Germany. Frenchmen in France. Ect.

        To hell with fear. If Facism is so feared, perhaps it is the true and best defense against this enemy invasion. If the war had been won by Germany, there would be no Communists like this traitor Theresa May.

        __

        • B, if White Europeans don’t do something to protect themselves soon, I fear for our survival. A lot of groups are just waiting to get in a position to seek revenge.

          I used to not be racist, but now I really fear for our future. I never thought I would live to see the day, but the White race is being targeted.

          • Justice:

            Why not avoid a bloody battle and just respect each other separate and apart in our separate territories. The globalists call that racism. Call it whatever, it beats civil war.

            __

            • Has that ever worked at any time in history?

              No.

              War is inevitable.

          • Another nugget from the Obama legacy, many people of all colors and races, who were never racist before, learned to be racists by Obama’s example.

            • Obama’s legacy has been disasterous for race relations and geopolitical stability. By pursuing an agenda of moving the third world to the first world, causing immense social and economic conflict, Obama destabilised every developed, wealthy state. The mess is now all over Europe.

              Obama made white people pay for this toxic agenda while at the same time destroying their ability to earn an income.

              His decisions make no sense unless you understand he was all about preparing the ground for the rise of Islam.

            • Obama’s biggest legacy,

              No other black person will ever get elected to the white house again.

              Obama saw to that.

              • So true: he eradicated the notion black leadership could be competent leadership.

        • Putin Kicked out all the Gews in Russian from any meaningful Government positions or office, and strengthened Christianity. So its no wonder why the Gews Planted and embedded in the US and who hijacked our foreign policy, creating this Hate towards Russia. For no other purpose, than to drain our resources and pump up their land grab scams on a global scale.

          Putin is a Very Smart Guy and why Russia does not have the problems the US does, wasting blood and treasure on useless wars for the Gews sole benefit. Had enough yet? Give them lead and crack sum skulls.

          • AND, because of that, reduced “terrorism” by 90%

            Hmmm, that was easy.

          • Yes, the Joos

        • B from CA

        • I think the Conservative states see it coming.

          That is why Texas created it’s own state gold depository, so when collapse happens Texas will issue it’s own gold backed currency.

          It is also why conservative states are all making open carry legal.

          They know a fight is forth coming.

      14. A well-put conclusion made by this article. “,,,Europeans have been given a false choice between the ideological cult of multiculturalism, or, martial law conditions.” Americans too have been given such false choices. Individual liberty–of self-determination, self-defense and self-reliance–is the answer that we’ll only hear about accompanied by the most derogatory donkey-laughs from those who don’t want the masses to wake up and realize their true option to statism.

      15. There’s always a third choice to the globalist’s false condition, reaction, proposed solution.

        REMOVE YOUR GOVERNMENT.

        Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who watches the watchers?

        WE DO. Good luck being disarmed, but even with sticks, the population has overwhelming numbers. Do what is necessary…it will be harder cause that population made suicidal decisions.

        If the UKistanis do not throw off their tyrannical government, they die. Simple choices are at hand.

        • Rum and Coke flash watcher here

        • Like in Boston after the marathon bombing?

          That was a true martial law situation.

      20. Old men can change (OldIron) but with time comes amazment that we can survive and thrive as a race. It seams to me that isis is only in countries that are bucking the new world order. With our president not getting all that he wants maybe we have more time to make ready, Winter is a better time for M law anyways. So please let me know if you think that my garden reflections​ have anything or just me over thinking.

      21. It is been said it could happen sooner some time between summer or fall of 2017. Many countries thru out the world could see Martial Law in 2017 as tension rise. An insider close to the PM had learned a few months ago after reviewing documents that 2017 could have a global crisis that could spark global civil unrest or possibly global war. The insider said Trump has already seen the same documents giving to him & is trying very hard to make sure a global crisis does not happen. Trump wants a global peaceful prosperity, but it can only happen if people want a peaceful path to a successful future.

      22. Has anyone heard from sixpack? Is she still alive? I miss her comments! She had Russian ancestry. I hope she is OK!

        Louisiana Eagle

        • That was Trump in disguise. He was colluding with the Russian peppers to post fake blog posts.

      23. A lot of the predictions don’t come to pass but this one might. The British have written themselves a lot of social welfare programs without the means to pay for it (even worse than here). The national debt is over three times the gross domestic product. Add to that the effects of Brexit. You know that the European Union will make it expensive for them to leave the EU, to discourage other countries from leaving. We really could see Britain under martial law. Of course, who knows if the USA might not be as well?

      24. give a measurable definition of martial law. I assume that would include curfews.

        Here is a good example of such a definition
        Typically, the imposition of martial law accompanies curfews; the suspension of civil law, civil rights, and habeas corpus; and the application or extension of military law or military justice to civilians. Civilians defying martial law may be subjected to military tribunal (court-martial).

        My bet is my $1000 to your $250, that you are wrong. I will be truly shocked if you take said bet.

        • I would expect martial law to have curfew, restricted movement, like no traveling. No more gun carry, cell phones shut off, no social media or other communication.

          If you are out of your house I would expect to get searched by army or national guard.

          Probably house to house searches looking for “suspects”. Just hope you are not on the suspect list.

          • It would definitely come with movement restrictions. This is much easier to implement in the 21st century than say in the 1940s.
