When a state carries out policies that
kill people in another state, they usually call it war. However, what
do you call it when a state carries out policies that kill its own
people? Well here in the UK the policies pushed through by the state
are killing people. One of them is called “Work Capability
Assessment” and the weapon is in the hands of ATOS. I suppose that
ATOS being a French company, we should call them mercenaries.
The number of people who have
died after being assessed by ATOS, as fit to work, is well over
100,000. In any war situation these figures would be a national
disaster, why does our babbling brook of bullshit, the mainstream
media, not splash them across banner headlines? Simply because they
are on the other side, the side of the murdering state. The latest
tragedy in this brutal assault on the disabled and vulnerable, was 53
year old, partially sighted Jacqueline Harris, as well as her problem
with her sight she had restricted mobility and was on constant pain
relief. However the compassionless bureaucrats, sitting comfortable
in their cocooned world of “ticky-boxes” considered her fit to
look for work and stripped her of her benefits. It was a pain to far,
and sadly Jaqueline Harris took her own life.
This war against its own people
continues on many fronts, the freezing/cutting of wages in the midst
of rising energy and food prices, the bedroom tax, putting extra
strain on already stretched finances, are just two attacks which are
pushing more people into fuel poverty, food banks, deprivation and in
turn malnutrition, with the resultant health problems. In truth,
these actions are a slow death sentence and are directly responsible
for health problems and an early death in thousands of cases. The
state by its deliberate policies is killing its own people, all in
the name of the economics of the banksters, it is sacrificing the
lives of its citizens to bolster and increases the wealth of the
already obscenely wealthy. We live in a sacrificial society, where
the people are offered up to the god Mammon.
Read the full article HERE:A woman stripped of benefits after being found ‘fit for work’ by Atos has taken her own life the Bristol Post have reported today.“PARTIALLY-sighted and only able to walk with the aid of a stick, Jacqueline Harris suffered crippling pain due to slipped discs in her back and neck. Her mobility was reduced further when a dog savaged one of her wrists. “Despite being in agony which strong pain relief could not ease, the 53-year-old was deemed to be fit for work following a government health assessment and told to find a job.“Her sister claims the verdict that she was ineligible for disability benefits drove her to take her own life earlier this month.”
