Massive amounts of Federal money, our money, is being poured in to arm and equip local police and paramilitary forces. I have stood and seen them used against us. We are under surveillance by hundreds of sophisticated HALO cameras funded by, again, Federal Funds.
Federal money=Federal Police.
We are----rapidly--- headed to having a National Police Force. By allusion, illusion, collusion and deception. If you think the local cops are bad, ----you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Check out the National Defense Security Act of 2012. I believe some ‘law and order’ folks think this would be a good thing. But they haven’t been arrested-----yet. There seems to be an expanding insinuation of men and women in military garb on our streets ‘assisting’ or ‘advising’ local law enforcement.. Remember when we had advisers in Vietnam. After a while we accept them as being friendly, helpful, young people. Is this what we want?
Even as I write the government is magnanimously reducing our Army. An Army exhausted, battered, worn and dehumanized by years of steady redeployment in wars that make no sense. Come to think about of it, no war ever did. “Hey, thanks guys, but we don’t need you anymore.” People with all kinds of combat related mental disorders will be released with little support system into a civilian population already burdened with no job market and an economy several years into a depression. Many of them will join the growing number of unwelcome homeless Travis Bickles’ who are being shuttled from street to park to street. And, I suspect, a number will be absorbed into our police forces and prison systems paid for with federal funds. Someone has to keep dissent down. I am already seeing the police wear more khaki than blue, and with riot gear, they look like storm troopers. You do not want to see these guys running through your backyard toward your back door.
Barney Fife is certainly gone but with him went Gary Cooper in High Noon.
