It appears
that the Orwellian future is coming faster than anyone could imagine.
Japan took a step closer to an upgraded authoritarianism, which is
necessary for the neoliberal regime, in order to prevent popular
uprise against Feudalism 2.0. A 21st century Feudalism that the
elites already start to implement in many regions.
From Nikkei
Asian Review:
Japan's
parliament enacted early Thursday morning an anti-conspiracy law that
significantly expands authorities' surveillance powers, overriding
opposition calls for more deliberations. The Diet's upper house
approved the legislation after a night of on-and-off debate. The bill
had already cleared the lower house. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had
pushed hard for this law, calling it necessary to safeguard against
terrorism at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The
lower house, dominated by the ruling coalition, rejected a late-night
motion of no confidence against Abe's cabinet brought by opposition
parties seeking to stop the conspiracy bill from coming to a plenary
vote in the upper house. The ruling coalition used a parliamentary
procedure to bypass a vote at the committee level.
The
law redefines what constitutes conspiracy to criminalize preparing
for crimes including terrorist attacks. Abe's government had
insisted that enacting the legislation was necessary for Japan to
become party to the United Nations Convention against Transnational
Organized Crime.
Earlier, we
had significant reactions against the bill in Japan. As The Mainichi reports: “Thousands of people took
to the streets of central Tokyo on June 11 to protest the
government's "anti-conspiracy" bill, in a demonstration
organized by the activist group "Mirai no tame no kokyo"
(Public for the future). [...] the plan has been met with widespread
criticism. Rival party politicians, academics, and citizen
group members claim that, 'Rephrasing the term 'conspiracy' as
'preparations to commit crimes such as terrorism' is impression
manipulation,' and that, 'There is a real danger that people who
think they have nothing to do (with the legislation) could end up as
a surveillance target.'”
On the
pretext of terrorism, governments continuously shrinking the
framework that would be considered 'appropriate' for someone to
criticize their actions. The bill depicts that fact. Most
importantly, the final target is the total suppression of any
reaction against anti-popular policies, carried by the governments
and dictated by the elites, in the future.
France is
becoming the primary test field for the implementation of upgraded
suppression due to frequent terrorist attacks. As mentioned
back in 2015, on the occasion of the COP21 climate change summit,
which by coincidence(?) took place in Paris, less than a month from
the terror attacks, the French authorities proceeded in unprecedented
security measures, including activists who had nothing to do with
terrorism!
But this new
law enacted by Japan's parliament shows that we may see even more
cruel suppression in every level in the close future.
We've
already pointed
that, terrorist attacks could give governments and big corporations
an excuse to take full control of the internet in order to
'suffocate' independent information, and therefore, help the
mainstream media propaganda monopoly to recover.
Furthermore,
in an Orwellian version of the close future, anyone who would dare to
critisize Western disastrous interventions in other countries could
be considered potential danger for national security under the
pretext of motivating terrorist attacks in Western soil.
The majority
of the people will eventually accept this extreme type of censorship
with terror constantly hanging above their heads.
