OUR FUTURE: Arrest & Brutalization Of British Journalist Sarah Wilkinson Reveals We Are Dropping Into Legal Dystopia
George Galloway interviews Sarah Wilkinson
DeMOCKracy.ink (9/13/24)
As bad as the recent home invasion and arrest of British Journalist and human rights activist Sarah Wilkinson was, it is clear something extremely insidious is happening. In this interview with British former Member of Parliament George Galloway, Wilkinson describes the brutality and wanton destructiveness of the home invasion, Gestapo-like (Mossad-like) interrogation and clearly intended state terrorism.
Confiscation of her phone, laptop and all electronic devices was not enough. The dozen ‘police’ — some plainclothes wearing identity-shielding balaclavas — stole her passport and the money she had with it Her home was ransacked and even the urn containing her mother’s ashes was emptied out onto the floor.
The kind of desecration of the dead Palestinians are all too familiar with.
What prompted such police state terror?
-
Planning to overthrow the government?
Plotting a terror attack?
Making bombs in the basement?
She was handcuffed so tightly they cut her wrists and, she notes, “I lost the circulation in my fingers.”
She was thrown into a police van which then drove in the wrong direction of the nearby police station in Shrewsbury. She was in the car for almost 90 minutes as it drove further into the countryside, passing numerous signed turn-offs back into town.
“There was a point in this arrest where I thought, God these aren't police. We're going the wrong way so there was an element of terror in the fact that we drove probably about 30 miles the wrong way,” Wilkinson recalls. “There was a point that I thought that this is an execution. So, yes, I was quite relieved actually to see the police station.”
As this was going on, ‘police’ — and whatever other goons were involved — ransacked and looted her home.
Who were these thugs?
Meanwhile, the nature of the intimidation and threat at the police station was a different kind of abuse, and a different kind of interrogation.
“The interrogation was extraordinarily racist,” Wilkinson explained. “There was a point where I had to break the ‘no comment’ and say ‘I'm sorry but this line of questioning is extraordinarily racist.’
“It didn't feel like British police questioning. We're a multicultural society so to ask questions like ‘why do you think Palestinians are better than us?’, ‘why do you think they're better than white people?’, ‘why aren't white people as good as Palestinians?’ For me, it felt like non-British questioning.”
She was threatened with 5-15 years in prison for refusing to divulge pass codes and PIN numbers for her electronic devices. Because many of her news sources are Palestinians, physicians in Gaza and activists, she refused to provide any of that information, knowing their identification could lead to their imprisonment or — more likely — death.
Numerous police protocols were broken, and, she said, the local Shrewsbury police seemed a little confused by the whole affair. They released her, under seven bail conditions, including not using any phone or computer or any other kind of electronic communication device.
As Galloway notes, “She became the first person in 2024 to be told she could never use a telephone or never use a computer again.”
What it was really about
“I actually don't think they ever intended this to go to court. This was about terrorizing not just me as a civilian in my own home this was [about] terrorizing [of critics].”There are more details of Wilkinson’s ordeal in the video below, but the thing that stands out to me is, the armed thugs who arrested Wilkinson and wantonly desecrated and ransacked her home were not regular police. Perhaps Israeli Mossad or Shin Bet, as Wilkinson says. Certainly the local Shrewsbury police out of the loop. I doubt the terror team were even all British.
If you think such governmental terrorism will be limited to Great Britain, I have a genocide to tell you about.
As I noted in yesterday’s post “Speaking Of Cats...The Cat That Ate America”, we are in a whole different governmental landscape.
The terror attack on Wilkinson is a signal flare for those paying attention.
Waking up to the brutal reality we now confront and seeing it clearly for what it is, is the first necessary act of resistance.
SARAH WILKINSON INTERVIEW: ‘This was purely for terror’
By George GallowayThe Mother of All Talk Shows (9/13/24)
‘This didn’t feel like British police questioning. More like Mossad or Shin Bet.’ Palestine activist Sarah Wilkinson on how balaclava’d ‘gorillas’ - no warrant or ID shown - ransacked her home, stole money and brutalised her.
26-minute video
- In cynicism and power, the US propaganda machine easily surpasses Orwells Ministry of Truth.
- Now the fight against anti-semitism is being weaponised as a new sanctimonious McCarthyism.
- Unless opposed, neither justice nor our Constitutional right to Free Speech will survive this assault.
