They can sense something awry in our intelligence system like a well trained dog sniffs out truffles.

Yes, we need to feel safe! But not as safe as Jews in prewar Nazi Germany. As power-hungry power junkies cannot get enough power and influence and personal decision making power in the hands of increasingly autocratic ministers/PM's in waiting!

One thing that cannot be suppressed is the freedom of the press! Nor the right of peaceful assembly! Or the right to hold and express an opinion!

In fact, some of the obvious excesses by extremely autocratic ministers/PM's in waiting is countered and balanced by a charter of human rights written into law!

We stand alone as the only advanced democracy without a bill of rights! Our rights have been progressively eroded over several decades and waved aside as an issue, given we are protected at the minister's discretion custom and convention! Plus established president!

None of which would be worth a tinker's dam in prewar Nazi Germany! And some of our ministers would not look too out of place in that white supremacist, superior race enviroment?

One notes that some of the (extreme right-wing) Nazi high command, were regular church-going Christians and good at kissing babies and looking as benign as your favourite Granddaddy! Not genocidal mass murderers

And Charismatic speakers able to shift blame with rare expertise like a well known Turkish tyrant!

What we may now be needing protection from is ministers with way too much personal abusive power,

The sort of exclusive personal power that was used to excess in prewar Nazi Germany or an apartheid South Africa. As joe average was manipulated by powerful charismatic speakers scapegoating targeted ethenic communities!

Get ready for 'pre-crime', where all your data will by collated for police in an Israeli government fusion centre.
