IS THE 'METER MAID' ...
... COMING INTO YOUR HOME?
Hello all ...
Many people will remember the Beatles song, Lovely Rita, from the Sgt. Pepper's album released in 1967. It's theme is a 'meter maid', one of the thousands of women - and men, of course - who walk the streets of Britain pasting fines onto the windscreens of vehicles parked in 'violation' of the parking laws.
As the Beatles sang ...
Lovely Rita meter maid
Nothing can come between us
When it gets dark I tow your heart away
Standing by a parking meter
When I caught a glimpse of Rita
Filling in a ticket in her little white book
In a cap she looked much older
And the bag across her shoulder
Made her look a little like a military man
These 'Meter Maids' are known officially as 'traffic wardens' or 'parking attendants' and their numbers have exploded in the last few years, along with the money they are fleecing from drivers for often the most minor and insignificant of alleged 'offences'.
It's become yet another money-scam to steal still more of the peoples' income, but from what I have been told in the last week it is soon to become much more than that. This is a story about specific plans for the UK, but it is highly relevant to readers of these newsletters across the world because the same principle, or lack of it, will apply everywhere.
I have said many times in my books and these newsletters that a fascist dictatorship cannot impose itself only from the 'top'. It has to infiltrate the fine detail of our lives and that means recruiting from the people to police the people. Unfortunately, there is no shortage of takers and it may be about to get a whole lot more serious.
I received a letter from a UK traffic warden last week who reads my books and has become deeply alarmed at what he has been told is happening - facts confirmed by his own experience.
I can't give his name or the county in which he works to protect his identity from his employers, but I have had a long conversation with him and seen the 'cards' he referred to in his letter.
The man, I will call him 'Andy' to keep the text simple, has been a traffic warden for some two decades and his job has always been focussed on issues relating to traffic and parking law - nothing else - because that is all that traffic wardens are supposed to be involved with.
All was well, he said, until about five years ago when changes in management brought a whole new change of emphasis. Suddenly, it was no longer about keeping the traffic moving efficiently; it was all about issuing as many parking tickets as possible to increase dramatically the money taken from motorists in fines.
Andy said that many wardens left in protest with comments like 'The heart has been ripped out of this job' and 'We are now managed by robots'.
This has happened all over the country, something I have emphasised from time to time in these newsletters. I also obtained the figures for my own local council on the Isle of Wight under the Freedom of Information Act to establish that the revenue taken from drivers in parking fines on this one little island has soared by hundreds of thousands of pounds a year since 2004 - around the same period that 'Andy' talks about in his case.
However, increasing revenue on such a vast scale, it seems, was only stage one.
In his letter, Andy described how he was asked to see his office manager for a 'quiet word', during which he was given three cards for himself and his colleagues:
* The first card dealt with his work on parking issues. Fair enough, that's his job, but the other two left him bewildered and increasingly concerned at what was going on.
* Card number two was a 'Pace' card, which is short for 'Police Action and Court Evidence, with the words that police officers have to say in law when they are arresting someone:
'You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.'
Traffic wardens have no need whatsoever to know this police caution text because they are not in a position where they would - or can at present - use it. Only the police and some other government law enforcement officers have this power of arrest.
* The third card authorised Andy and his colleagues to act on behalf of the council for the enforcement of various statutory provisions - 'including entering and inspecting premises'.
What the hell has entering and inspecting premises and the words said during a police arrest got to do with people who simply issue tickets to motorists illegally parked??
This was the question Andy put to his bosses when the cards were issued, but he was told that they had been ordered to distribute the cards and Andy should just keep them safe until he was told to use them.
Some time later, Andy met a police officer he knew from some years before. After a general chat among other wardens, the officer pulled Andy aside and said he wanted to speak in private.
The officer said that Andy should not breathe a word of what he was about to tell him, and he was only telling him the information because he was an old friend.
He said that for months he had been on 'special duties' coordinating a top secret operation, meeting with 'top brass' from the police and national and local government. This was happening all over the country, he said, and certain officers had been chosen - or were having to do - what he was doing.
The officer asked for another promise from Andy not to reveal details of the conversation before saying that the government was preparing for what he was about to reveal 'well, well, in advance'. They were expecting ...
'... a war, a lot of riots, a lot of very big trouble.'
The officer said that he understood that Andy and his colleagues had been given a number of cards, one with the Pace caution and one giving permission to enter various premises.
'Let's just say, I know, now, the reason you have been given them is because when all of this happens, and it will, we [the police] will be on the front line with the armed forces and people in your kind of jobs ... parking wardens, security officers, CCTV operatives and so on will be required to do our job.'
'You must be joking, that's crazy', Andy replied.
'I'm not joking', the officer said, this is on the level. I am just putting you wise to what will happen, but the main thing is please don't tell anyone.'
This would fit in the sense that if the UK government entered into another war, say with Iran in league with the United States, there would undoubtedly be massive civil unrest in protest. And once the public in large numbers start to realise that the conspiracy I have been warning about all these years is happening, there is further enormous potential for civil resistance.
Now here was this police officer talking about having the military on the streets of Britain to deal with the protests and have no doubt that the same will be planned for other countries.
A few days after Andy wrote to me and we had a follow up conversation, I saw a story in the UK Daily Mail and some other papers about plans to rename traffic wardens 'civil enforcement officers'.
What an Orwellian title this is and right in line with what Andy was told. These newly-designated 'civil enforcement officers' will have added powers to:
• Hand out tickets for littering, fly-posting and graffiti.
• Issue fixed-penalty notices for driving in bus-lanes or jumping red lights.
• Report anti-social behaviour and be involved in collecting evidence for 'Asbos' - Anti-Social-Behaviour-Orders.
• Be summoned in front of a parking regulator in court to give evidence.
But, of course, these are only stepping-stones, the Totalitarian Tiptoe, to what these 'civil enforcement officers' are designed eventually to be - law enforcement officers with at least many of the powers of the current police. Their job will be to spy on the people on behalf of the fascist dictatorship, which is precisely the structure they had in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
Traffic wardens have already had their powers increased in the last five years to include offences previously dealt with only by trained police officers and we have clearly seen nothing yet. Traffic wardens are now being described in some reports as the 'eyes and ears' of the police and we also have the 14,000 (and rising) 'Special Constables', volunteer members of the public who wear a uniform and outrageously, as their website confirms, have full police powers.
Once again, the 'Special Constabulary' so often attracts the very last people that should have such powers over anyone.
The Hidden Hand is building the personnel to police the fascist State in readiness for the time when enough people start to realise what is really happening.
There are some genuine, decent traffic wardens like Andy, but large numbers of those have been leaving the job because they could not stand the way their roles had been changed and the management dictatorship they now have to deal with.
It is no longer about serving the public, but simply imposing more and more fines to generate more and more money and that attracts a very different kind of person to those we had in much greater numbers before.
It attracts those who are quite willing to rip off the public on behalf of the government without a word of protest or conscience. I have written before in these newsletters of how it has changed in my own town in just this way. The traffic is moving no better than it did before - only the till.
The thought of some of these arrogant, strutting John Wayne-wannabees in their silly hats getting many of the powers of the police presents a quite horrible picture. At least one of them in my town would do the public a far greater service by having a bath than getting the power to enter their homes.
The uniform does attract some people with a desire to serve the public and what a nightmare it must be for those genuine and thinking wardens still in the job. But ever more today it is a magnet for those who want power over others - the very last personality-type that should be given such power.
Ahhh, but that's precisely the character trait desired by the system because these fodder in uniform, the peons who only think they have power, are simply there to be robotic, unquestioning, indeed unthinking, enforcers of the dictatorship.
They have no power themselves, except in their fevered minds. Their only 'power' is to serve the orders of the dictatorship and when they don't comply their 'power' is removed, for it was never theirs in the first place.
Nazi Germany was awash with them in every community and without them the famous names, the Hitlers and Himmlers, could not have imposed their will or identified those challenging their horrors.
All dictatorships need the little people to do that, the 'Yessir', cap-touchers in uniform, who take the Führer's dollar to enforce the will of the few on the many and spill the beans on those who refuse to submit and conform.
It makes them feel 'big', important' people when, in truth, they come no smaller.
In so many ways, what is happening in this regard mirrors what has happened in Canada with the government's 'Human Rights' Commission, exposed at length on my website, where peoples' human rights are abused and disregarded by a bunch of untrained, biased, and corrupt officials who have to meet none of the legal criteria of a real court and thus allow justice to be bypassed to serve their own self-obsessions and personal hatreds.
Here we have an unfolding plan to give power over peoples' lives to the untrained, often brain-dead-in-uniform who, from personal experience, I would not trust to summon two brain cells on active duty.
No, they are not all like that, of course not, but enough are to make what I am describing here something that we need urgently to address.
It's also another indication of how detailed is this agenda for mass human control and how coordinated. Firstly, the number of traffic wardens was increased by turning it all into a money-making exercise and no longer one dedicated to public service; this attracted not only lots more traffic wardens to the streets, but often the kind of person who is quite happy to fleece the public to the greatest extent possible on behalf of the government; then they change the designation from 'traffic warden' to 'civil enforcement officers' and start to give them the powers of the police.
To those who still say there is no conspiracy, the no-conspiracy theorists, as I call them, I would ask this question: Do you really believe that the above sequence has only happened by 'accident' when it is only one of millions of convenient 'sequences' that have led us to the Orwellian State??

The rabbit hole is indeed deeper than even the more aware people begin to imagine.
