The years of 2000 to 2010 have suffered the consequences of the strategies employed during the War on Terror.

The actions of many NATO states, especially the United States, have created hostility amongst people in the Middle East, Central Asia, and parts of Africa. As of now, current counterterrorism doctrines are ineffective. This new action plan will help defuse the threat of terrorism significantly. It will involve a mlix of increasing security within NATO, operations outside NATO, and developing a pro NATO attitude as opposed to creating more tension. Terrorism can never be eliminated entirely. This new plan however, will reduce the risk. The first step in the action plan is to disband local and provincial police departments and transfer competent officers into federal/national law enforcement such as the RCMP and the German State Police. This way, the various police departments in a NATO country will be under the command of one central law enforcement agency/force, allowing for more efficient management and greater cooperation between police detachments in different provinces, territories, states and cities. The merge will quell any disputes between local and state/provincial/territorial police departments in NATO countries since there will be no more local or state/provincial/territorial police departments. The second step involves greatly expanding the paramilitary arm of law enforcement in NATO countries both in size and responsibilities. These highly trained officers will be used to guard high risk areas. These areas include but are not limited to major population centres, transit hubs such as bridges, tourist attractions, and government facilities. As well as guarding high risk sites, paramilitary police will still carry on performing their original duties of dealing with high risk situations such as hostage takings, bomb threats, and terrorist attacks. The third step is to expand the powers of the police/gendarmes in NATO countries. With these new powers, each nations law enforcement agencies will have the authorization to arrest those who engage in suspicious activities as well as those who are deemed to be a threat to public safety without a warrant. Suspicious activities include but are not limited to wearing masks in public (with Halloween being an exception), loitering in public areas for extended periods of time, leaving mysterious packages in public places without supervision, attempts to enter restricted areas such as government institutions, taking videos and pictures of government buildings, buying explosive compounds, etc. Information on suspicious activities either gathered by various intelligence agencies is authorized to be acted upon by law enforcements officers provided that they have been given the order to act. The fourth step will be the establishment of the Counter Terrorism Agency. Their duties will involve storing and safeguarding intelligence on possible terrorist threats, existing terrorist threats, high value targets such as terrorist cell members, suspicious activities, movements of large quantities of explosives and firearms, etc. Agencies and organizations such as CSIS, CIA, MI6, Canadian Forces, various law enforcement agencies, military forces and law enforcement from different nations will be required to report any findings regarding suspicious activities or terrorist activities to the CTA to ensure that information between agencies is distributed evenly to increase the effectiveness and efficiency in which the various agencies and organizations can carry out their duties. The CTA will have a region HQ in every NATO state. The fifth step will be the proposal and establishment of a NATO multinational police force to assist in peace keeping in NATO countries in times of emergency. The NATO force will not act as occupiers as they will be under the command of the police force of whichever country they are stationed in. They are to be used in a crisis should a NATO member request their use. They will serve to augment the ranks of a NATO member states respective law enforcement group such as Gendarmes and the RCMP. Only the best officers will be selected from each member states law enforcement organizations. The sixth step will be the proposal and eventual establishment of a multinational special operations taskforce comprised of operators from special operations forces from various NATO member states militaries. This task force shall take its recruits from the ranks of groups such as the JTF2, SAS,

DEVGRU (formerly SEAL Team 6), Delta Force, GROM (Polish Special Forces), etc. This task force will be authorized to be used during counterterrorism operations inside NATO member states and in non-NATO states. This force will be under the command of the military of whichever nation an operation is conducted in. Any other officers from various special operations regiments of different states will be used in an advisory role rather than a command position. Only the best members of each special operations force will be selected for the task force. In the case of a failed operation, the operation will be denied by NATO. Operators will not wear any clothing identifiable with NATO countries or their respective units. All mention of them in government documents or media will be eliminated should they be compromised. This way, any accusations that NATO is mounting operations in non-NATO states will have no evidence. The seventh step will involve a massive strategic withdrawal of NATO forces deployed in the Middle East, Central Asia, and parts of Africa. This step will effectively reduce animosity towards NATO nations as they will no longer be seen as occupiers in the future. Only advisors and liaisons to the host nations military and intelligence community will remain if requested by the host nations government. If requested by the host nations government to send NATO troops, the option will be carefully considered. Besides pulling out NATO troops from these regions, closer diplomatic ties are to be established to ease tension between the West and these regions. This could be done through more trade agreements and humanitarian aid. As the standard of living of the people living in this country improve, less will be driven into the arms of terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Al Qaeda. Bear in mind that NATO special operations taskforce will still be authorised to operate worldwide, including in previously occupied territories with or without permission from the host nations government (preferably with permission). The eighth step will be a concerted effort to establish close diplomatic ties between NATO and the Russian Federation. This could be done through a number of ways, including more joint military exercises with Russian Ground Forces, creating new trade agreements with the country, and offering assistance with counterterrorism operations in the Caucasus region and former Soviet Republics including Chechnya. NATO would also be willing to overlook certain human rights and political situations going on in Russia for the sake of forging a positive relationship with the Russian Federation, including but not limited to gay propaganda laws, abuses in the prison system, corruption in the military, and war crimes committed in the Chechen Wars. These close ties with Russia will allow NATO and Russian Ground Forces to project their power more effectively throughout Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Furthermore, these new ties will ultimately result in cooperation to end the threat of terrorism in the Caucasus region and other parts of the former Soviet Republics. The ninth step will allow NATOs various intelligence agencies to tap phone lines without restriction. The primary aim of the phone tapping is to monitor call traffic for signs of terrorist activity. Conversations between individuals that have been deemed a threat to public safety and suspicious individuals will be monitored without their knowledge. This will assist the intelligence community identify high value targets such as terrorist cell leaders. The monitoring of call traffic will also aid in tracking unusually large shipments of materials used to make explosives such as fertilizer. Information gathered by cellphone/wiretapping will be sent to the CTA for dispersal amongst other NATO intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and military. The tenth step will be the initiation of internet surveillance on top of the phone tapping. This covers all the bases of mainstream electronic connections for full confirmation of an individuals suspicious activities. This would not be used to target anyone randomly, but would be used for broad searches of suspicious keywords or messaged sent and received on social media sites, or communication servers such as TeamSpeak or Skype. People in specific would only be searched in specific if they had been deemed suspicious by some other form.

The eleventh step will allow law enforcement and intelligence agencies in NATO states to use any other means to monitor and reconnoiter the general population. This would include but is not limited to tactics such as undercover patrols, the use of cameras in certain high risk areas and government buildings, and even unarmed aerial drone surveillance. This is simply to reduce the likely hood of high priority attacks that might be able to cripple response teams or law enforcement if some kind of terrorist attack might occur. The twelfth step will involve drafting men and women between the ages of 18 and 40 into either law enforcement or the military. The step will be necessary to carry out many of the newly expanded duties of the new law enforcement agencies in particular. Though this will initially be very unpopular amongst the general population, the draft will keep the general populace more secure, and reduce unemployment. This will make sure that people feel secure against terrorist threats as so many people will be on standby to aid in any emergency, as well as to keep an eye over larger areas, and of course, looking for suspicious activities, which they'll be trained to spot before being put into service. Of course, prospective draftees will be subject to a very comprehensive and intense background check to ensure that they are not aligned with radical organization or terrorist groups. These men and women will be placed in either law enforcement or the military depending on which group needs more bodies. On a final note, drafting will dispel rumours that NATO is weak for pulling out troops from many overseas deployments. The thirteenth step is to allow law enforcement to limit or outright ban media presence when dealing with terrorist incidents before, during, or after the incident. This is to aid against terrorist attack exposure to discourage the terror from spreading. Allowing the media to run as it usually does would encourage terrorist to make the biggest and boldest attacks so they can to create, as their name implies, terror and panic amongst the population. These limitations/bans on media presence at law enforcements discretion will go a long way to having a dynamic and easily applicable way to keep the spread of fear amongst the general public and to reduce the effectiveness of terrorist incidents. The fourteenth step will be the establishment of a civilian advisory board. The civilian advisory board would be put into place to help keep the rights of the civilians as intact as possible to avoid backlash against the government, which could cause the exact actions we're trying to prevent. With that in mind, the board would be put into place to act as a sort of go between the citizens and the law enforcement, and if need be, the courts (to control the law enforcement). The board could be a valuable tool to detect abuses of authority by law enforcement. However, the board will be an apparatus to keep the general population complacent to these rapid changes to the social and political landscape. Using this method, one can prevent feelings of frustration and belittlement when it comes to actions and sanctions on the people made by the government and law enforcement. In the fifteenth step radical left, radical right, and any groups that are suspected of even cooperating with terrorist groups will be banned and members will be arrested and charged. This is to prevent the spread of radical hate and ideas against government and corporate ideals, which could in turn lead to acts of violence that may disturb the peace and cause unrest. This has a very clear goal of showing that radical thinking and spreading of violent or aggressive hatred is not wanted in what we are trying to make a terror free society. This action will also serve to deal a severe blow to any sources of funding or man power to terrorist groups. Note that religious organizations, particularly Islamic groups, will not be specifically targeted. This will only serve to antagonize Muslims in NATO states and worldwide. The sixteenth step will be the severe restriction on travel for individuals that have been deemed suspicious. Until full background checks can be completed, or until law enforcement is convinced that someone is not a threat to the security of the population, travel will be limited at the discretion of that local law enforcement. Travel restrictions will only allow the individual to travel within his or her state/province/territory/region while being monitored. This allows less communication between cells or

terrorists and less ability to spread attacks if a chain of them were to appear. They could possibly be tracked down quicker as the attacks (given they were on a watch list for suspicious behaviour) would be within a certain radius. As a result of this action plan, foreign relations with occupied states or states known to harbour terrorists groups should improve, resulting in increased cooperation in counterterrorism operations. The increase in operations carried out by intelligence agencies and special operations will assist in wiping out key targets in the war on terror without the general populations in targeted country being aware of the operations. The increased security measures occurring domestically will improve security at home drastically, providing a solid security force to safeguard the population. The new powers granted to the police and intelligence agencies will allow them to weed out any people who threaten public safety through terror with relative ease and effectiveness. This plan should be implemented within the timeframe of 3 years, due to the issue that diplomatic ties and new, effective organizations/agencies take a considerable amount of time to establish. It is true that certain rights and democratic principles will be restricted. These rights however, will not be entirely restricted and the vast majority of rights will be respected. These restrictions are all necessary to ensure the safety of NATO countries and their population from attack. This plan will result in a more NATO with closer diplomatic ties between the West and the rest of the world. Though rights will be restricted, the world, particularly in the West, will be safer.

Violated Democratic Principles The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Freedom of Association This freedom has been violated to reduce the number of organizations that could spread harmful ideas and beliefs amongst members of the population which in turn could be the cause of radical actions against the government and the general population. Freedom of thought belief, opinion, and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication This freedom has been violated to prevent members of terrorist factions to spread propaganda and to reduce media coverage of terrorist incidents to reduce fear and panic amongst the population of another incident. Every citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada This right has been violated to prevent dangerous individuals with ties to radical/terrorist organizations from escaping or working with other groups in different provinces or countries. Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. This right is quite vague, and after careful consideration of its intent when it was created, we believe that we violated this right to not allowing those with radical ideas, such as neo nazi members and members of radical left wing groups to spread them (being the right to act taken away). However, all the measures weve put in to this plan reinforce the right to security of the person. Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure This right has been violated to allow search for evidence that indicate a possible link between terrorist activities and an individual Everyone has the right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned. This right has been violated to apprehend suspicious individuals who could be a potential threat to public safety. Anyone whose rights or freedoms as guaranteed by this Charter have been infringed or denied may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain such remedy as the court considers appropriate and just in the circumstances. This right has been violated so that law enforcement can work effectively with little interference with their duties. Nothing in this Charter extends the legislative powers of anybody or authority. This right has been violated to extend the powers of the federal government, law enforcement, and various federal agencies to enforce laws more efficiently and effectively
