In the wake of admissions by former undercover police officer Peter Francis, that he was at one time asked to search for evidence that might be useful in discrediting the family and friends of Stephen Lawrence, we have the media and the liberal elite calling for a public enquiry and Doreen Lawrence meeting with Theresa May the Home Secretary, as lawyers presumably, are busy exploring the possibility of the family receiving yet another bumper compensation payout, courtesy of the British taxpayer.
What seems to have been forgotten in all of this however, is that the Lawrence family are not the only family to have been spied on by the security services and the police.
Following a freedom of information request by the Guardian newspaper, it has been revealed that a total of 8,931 individuals are currently under surveillance by the National Domestic Extremism Unit, the undercover section of Special Branch. However, in addition to this, US National Security Agency whistle-blower Edward Snowden has revealed that literally millions of our compatriots and residents from overseas have our telephone and internet connections tapped by the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) based in Cheltenham.
Just as the National Domestic Extremism Unit have been tapping and bugging the family and friends of the Lawrence family, searching for any evidence that may incriminate them, so in a much more ‘broad brush’, but high tech fashion, GCHQ have been keeping the rest of us under surveillance.
Working with MI5 and MI6, GCHQ have secretly gained access to the network of cables which carry the world’s phone calls and internet traffic and has started to process vast streams of sensitive personal information which it is sharing with its American partner, the National Security Agency (NSA).
The sheer scale of the agency’s ambition is reflected in the titles of its two principal components: ‘Mastering the Internet’ and ‘Global Telecoms Exploitation’, aimed at scooping up as much online and telephone traffic as possible. This is all being carried out without any form of public acknowledgement or debate.
One key innovation has been GCHQ’s ability to tap into and store huge volumes of data drawn from fibre-optic cables for up to 30 days so that it can be sifted and analysed. That operation, codenamed Tempora, has been running for some 18 months
GCHQ and the NSA are consequently able to access and process vast quantities of communications between entirely innocent people, as well as targeted suspects.
This includes recordings of phone calls, the content of email messages, entries on Facebook and the history of any internet user’s access to websites – all of which is deemed legal, even though the warrant system was supposed to limit interception to a specified range of targets.
The documents released by Edward Snowden reveal that last year GCHQ handled 600m “telephone events” each day, had tapped more than 200 fibre-optic cables and was able to process data from at least 46 of them at a time.
Each of the cables carries data at a rate of 10 gigabits per second, so the tapped cables had the capacity, in theory, to deliver more than 21 petabytes a day – equivalent to sending all the information in all the books in the British Library 192 times every 24 hours.
Let us just for a moment consider what that means.
The British Library contains a copy of every publication ever produced in the UK and Ireland, so many that it has been estimated it would take one individual 80,000 years to read all of those publications.
GCHQ are harvesting from the internet, from our emails, from our telephone calls and from our Facebook posts, 192 times as much information as this every single day!!!!!
We are reassured by government spokespeople that this does not necessarily include the contents of our private communications and that much of what is harvested is just ‘meta-data’, so what actually is ‘meta-data’, you might ask?
Simply put, it’s data about data and it is coded into our electronic transmissions.
Metadata is information about what communications you send and receive, who you talk to, where you are when you talk to them, the lengths of your conversations, what kind of device you were using and potentially other information, like the subject line of your emails.
Metadata is perfect for anyone who wants to find patterns and to single out smaller groups for closer scrutiny. It will reveal which groups of people go to political meetings together, which groups of people go to church together, which groups of people go to nightclubs together or sleep with each other.
Metadata records of search terms and Web page visits also can reveal a log of your thoughts by documenting what you’ve been reading and researching. Analysts can tell if you’re pregnant or not, what diseases you have, whether you’re looking for a new job, whether you’re trying to figure out if the GCHQ are watching you or not.
The more people rely on their smart phones and the Internet, the more metadata is generated and such information provides deeply revealing insights into a person’s psyche.
From what has been revealed by Edward Snowden, it would appear that under UK law and the light oversight regime that exists in this country, GCHQ are able to harvest far more information that their US counterpart, the National Security Agency (NSA), but GCHQ can only store routinely harvested information for 30 days.
The NSA on the other hand, despite not being able to collect as much information as GCHC, would appear to be able to store information that falls into their hands virtually indefinitely and have much greater resources in terms of the personnel available to sift and process information that has been harvested.
It would appear that GCHQ have been harvesting massive amounts of information and then passing it on to the NSA, who then sift through it and analyse it, passing the intelligence they have gleaned back to GCHQ. A recent report stated that the NSA had as many as 850,000 people involved in sifting and analysing meta-data.
Just like the officers of the National Domestic Extremism Unit, these people are searching for information that identifies ‘potentially criminal’ behaviour or which can be used to smear or blackmail people who happen to be ‘of interest’ to the security forces and the intelligence services.
In going about their work in the way they do they are committing an outrageous intrusion into the private lives of hundreds of millions of law abiding citizens, and if the hollow re-assurances that our politicians have been issuing are anything to go by, they are acting beyond their remit, circumventing the law and are clearly out of control.
It’s not just the likes of Doreen Lawrence who deserve an apology and an opportunity to claim redress – what about the rights of us White people?

As the truth about attacks upon white people gains a wider publicity and especially following the murder of Lee Rigby, the symbol that is Stephen Lawrence is diminished somewhat. Just as the event known as the Holocaust is used to psychologically castrate whites of their racial pride whilst at the same time it imbues feelings of guilt, the death of Stephen Lawrence is manipulated to serve a similar agenda.
Whilst the murder of Lee Rigby was shocking, the murder of Kriss Donald was utterly repugnant. For those unfamiliar with Kriss Donald’s story here is a brief outline.
Kriss Donald was forced into a car by a gang of Pakistanis that were looking for a white boy to kill. The younger brother of one of his assailants, had earlier that day been involved in a playground spat with a white boy. Being gracious in defeat as the Pakistanis are renowned for he told his big brother, who gathered a gang together, to go looking , not for Kriss specifically, but any white boy. Kriss was driven around around for several hours whilst being threatened and told that he was about to die. Eventually he was taken to a disused building, tied, and stabbed several times before being dowsed in petrol and set on fire, at which point Kriss was still alive.
The double standards and hypocrisy of the biased media output regarding the treatment of Stephen Lawrence compared with that of Kriss Donald beggars belief.
Kriss’s mother has recieved no MBE.
Charlene Downes. Murdered and used as kebab meat.
The list is lengthy and they know it.
What better way to wring a few more years worth of mileage out of the Stephen Lawrence symbology than to attatch something else to it? ” Not only was Stephen murdered by those nasty whites, those racists, but his family was spied upon by the racist police too, dont you know!”
I cannot imagine the grief a parent must feel a losing a child. After twenty years Doreen Lawrence’s pain must, I think, still be there. The media, the politicians and the PC multicult promoters would, had their concern for Doreen Lawrence been genuine and their sympathy sincere, have left Doreen to quietly grieve, away from the public gaze, just as they have done with the parents of Kriss and Charlene and the many others.
Until white people recognise the power and effect that these symbols have upon us, the unconscious guilt will be manipulated to great effect by those who seek to direct our lives and our Nation, just as the meta information can be used to manipulate and coerce .
