Security Upgrade in Industry needed now!

Kia ora,

In the last few weeks the Sovereign debt crisis has brought bombings & riots to Greece. No I haven't got the wrong blog. As it is expected for the worlds economies to get a lot worse over the next few years (what recovery? Any upswing has being due to stimulus & they haven't created one new job) the security threat is going up.

The bombings in Greece were against immigrants & as jobs become tighter in each country there will be the predictable backlash against immigrants.

During one riot even a union official was attacked.

Here in NZ the Government has proposed new measures for those on the benefit.

As any beneficiaries will tell you it is hard enough to survive on the benefits on offer as it is. If they are cut as proposed then crime will rise & it is already at epidemic proportions.

People are hurting financially already & armed robberies have jumped.

Just today though I saw a turn of an even more disturbing nature on a social media site.

With the recent moves by the government seen as undemocratic, upset over the foreshore seabed & other issues, there were two comments about arming themselves to sort things out.

There is also upset over the charges those who were arrested in the Tuhoe terror raids are up on.

Now Tuhoe have geniune grievances but most of those arrested weren't Tuhoe, but part of the largest terrorist network in the world. Eco greens.

Between Eco Greens & anti abortionists they are more a day to day threat than Bin Laden & his co horts & only probably outnumbered by those other terrorists, organized crime.

The Mind set that thinks they are doing more good when they shoot someone or blow up something is in line with the suicide bomber who is expecting to meet 72 virgins.

Of course in NZ people don't relate to the greens being terrorists. People are pushing for the person who jumped onto the Japanese whaling ship to be released when under international law he actually committed an act of piracy.

It is also the country that recently let three 'terrorists' off for attacking a government installation.

There is a lesson there. Terrorists do not think that by giving them the benefit of the doubt, they will leave you alone. It actually encourages them to carryout more audacious actinities.

Bringing this back to the security industry it means that action has to be taken now to lift it into the real world & to stop playing at security.

Otherwise  it is going to jump up & hit the industry between the eyes.

The reporters from the Sunday Star times have already sent a wake up notice. The industry & the government needs to take heed now.

Not after the fact!
