VOICES FROM COUNTER TERROR EXPO 2010

The second edition of the Counter Terror Expo took off in London on April 14, 2010 with participants drawn from all sectors of the security industry across the globe to include also, decision makers, both nationally and internationally, allied industries, the broad security family in and around the world, other interest groups outside the security world – the public sector representatives, other private sector representatives, visitors, to name, but a few.

Counter Terror Expo 2010 LogoNever before has an event which is just in its second year drawn such a genuinely concerned and enthusiastic crowd. The long queue of people at the Olympia venue of the exhibition waiting to be vetted and ushered in surpassed that often seen in a new hit film and to the credit of Mr Peter Jones and his great team, the whole event was excellently managed.

Hear it fresh from some of the exhibitors as they made out time to talk about their products and the event.  After all, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Excerpts of their quotes as recorded by our editorial team led by JOHN ADUMA, editor, Vigilance -The Security Magazine

Britain’s border security has been called into question less than a year before the country plays host to the 2012 Olympic Games.

From now on it could be fire for fire on the deep sea as the Prime Minister of Britain  David Cameron last week announced that merchant vessels flying the red ensign would now be allowed to carry armed guards for protection against acts of piracy.

If your business has anything to do with security and you were not at the just concluded Transport Security Expo 2011 you are not likely going to forgive yourself after you have read this editorial. Hang on a minute! And not to worry, the expanded programme being planned by the organisers for the 2012 edition offers yet another golden opportunity, or should we say ‘apple opportunity’? if so love apple. But miss the next one, hate yourself forever!

ban-ki-moon KIND ATTENTION: UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY SUMMIT

8. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows...12.  Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death...13.  And ye shall be hated of all men... (Mark 13: 5-13).

Hafiz RingimAgain, what is our verdict? It’s simply to bin an IGP who does not have the strategic foresight to know that Boko Haram is the very sword of Damocles over the head of Nigeria and could be the decisive factor for the way forward.

King James Bible
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it

Proverbs 22: 6

 

  • Wild, Wild America...how the bastion of modern democracy is regressing fast into the State of Nature
  • How a great civilization has fallen

.....so the nature of war consisteth not in actual fighting, but ... Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of war, where every man is enemy to every man, the same consequent to the time wherein men live without other security than what their own strength and their own invention shall furnish them withal.......and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

-         Thomas Hobbes, The Leviathan.

  • ‘Broken Britain’ needs such family ties which are not a threat to national security.
  • Children from homes with loose ends could be a great threat to national security.
  • Made in ‘Broken Britain’ ‘monsters’ who pass for children are a danger to society

BRETHREN, my heart desire and prayer to God...is that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. (Romans10: 1-2).
