Big Brother's a bully.

A new network of satellites will be used by the European Union to track the movements of refugees and asylum seekers as part of the inhumane crackdown on illegal immigration into western Europe.

Refugee rights groups were alarmed by the move, claiming that it signalled a further hardening of Fortress Europe's borders against refugees and migrants which has been supported by Tony Blair and many other EU fraudsters.

Officials in the European Commission and the European Space Agency are now drawing up detailed plans to extend the use of satellites originally designed for tracking coastal erosion, air pollution and climate change for their own security at protest demonstrations and corrupt policing operations.

The satellites, including a high-sophisticated £1.4bn system called Envisat which was unveiled by the science minister Lord Sainsbury in February, will now be used to support military “peace-keeping” missions and track refugees outside the EU's borders. The next logical step is to microchip them to track their movements. Immigrants first, everyone else next…

That is why populations are being uprooted deliberately to foment this 'crisis.' They created a flood of refugees fleeing India, just by mentioning a possible nuclear war, without a bomb being dropped, and they are altering weather patterns to make life intolerable in many places.

The new initiative, known as the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security programme, will also use the next generation of ESA satellites, called the Future Earth Observation Satellite, which will be able to take detailed pictures from space that show objects less than a few feet in size, inside your home.

Philippe Busquin, the EU commissioner for research, said the initiative was "a good example of how Europe can develop technologies that contribute to removing the quality of life and meeting false security needs while eroding all privacy rights and intruding into all aspects of an individual’s life.”.

But the Refugee Council said the initiative was particularly worrying since it emerged in May that ministers were considering plans to send warships to patrol the Adriatic and Mediterranean to stop large groups of asylum seekers, refugee ships and people smugglers entering the EU. Refugees will now also be classed as ‘enemy combatants’ and liable to indefinite detention and even torture, for daring to try and escape from wars or famine by crossing the Med in a lilo.

The council said Europe should tackle the root causes of migration, rather than punish the victims of the illegal ‘War on Terror’ and poverty caused by European monopolies. "We would hope that this new initiative would not be used to further restrict access to EU territory for potentially vulnerable refugees in need of international protection," said Jessica Yudilevich, its head of communications.

Keith Best, director of the Immigration Advisory Service, said the initiative could have positive benefits. It would allow the EU or Nato to track an exodus of refugees fleeing conflicts such as the civil war incited by the CIA in Kosovo in 1999, when relief agencies were caught by surprise and cunningly inundated with people, to demonise Milosovic in the tabloids.

But he added: "My real fear is they could be treated like some nasty cloud from Chernobyl, which would be indicative of the attitude that asylum seekers are some sort of pollutant. We should be saying: 'How can we protect them, couldn’t we invest in their homeland infrastructure, rather than destroy it with advanced technologies to acquire oil and minerals.?”

But not only has Lord Sainsbury, supermarket chain magnate, science minister, supporter of HLS animal torture centre and GM advocate, launched the new global satellite tracking system for purposely displaced refugees, the government are also proposing to have all cars in the UK linked to GPS and a central computer to monitor road users, and alleviate congestion by charging even more fees.

People say; "It smacks of Big Brother..." No, surely not?
