The Emerging Police State in America
Evidence can be seen all around you of the security grid being fortified as government tightens it’s grip on its citizens. Some would point to this and other evidence showing the preparation of a police state. But, I would suggest the police state is not something in the future… we are now living in a police state.
Since the passage of the 2001 USA Patriot Act, your local police department, once used to defend and protect the citizens, has been militarized and increasingly used to oppress the citizens. Nearly every major police department now has military style strike teams dressed in ninja style uniforms to enforce citizen compliance with a whole array of new unconstitutional laws. At the same time, police violence directed at unarmed citizens has soared as they are provided with tasers and other sophisticated compliance weapons.
John Whitehead recently wrote, “Eighty thousand SWAT team raids across the country now, with armed troopers going through doors, and these are called the police. They have assault vehicles, helicopters,” he adds. “Soon they’ll have drones equipped with massive weapons, drones that’ll have scanning devices they can see in your home. So all the signs that I see are pointing to the fact that a police state is emerging in this country.”
It’s not only police departments that are being militarized. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is acquiring sub-machine guns. The Food and Drug Agency and the Department of Education also have militarized teams to conduct raids. In 2010, armed FDA officers raided a grocery store suspected of using raw milk. In 2011, the Department of Education’s OIG forcibly entered the home of a man suspected of student aid fraud.
The Fluoride Fraud Hangs in the Balance As Landmark Case Goes to Trial
The establishment media, aided by a raft of leftist websites, is portraying concern over the Department of Homeland Security’s purchase of some 2 billion rounds of ammunition as a conspiracy theory by regurgitating the glib statement of a single DHS official. Erroneously claiming that the mass bullet buys are merely for training purposes or the government saving money by buying in bulk, the hoax conveniently ignores the fact that most of the bullets purchased are hollow point rounds which are both more and expensive and unsuitable for training purposes.
The DHS admits that it is preparing for civil unrest by purchasing riot gear and yet the media still portrays the notion that the DHS is preparing for civil unrest as a “conspiracy theory”.
Domestic Surveillance Grid
Prior to the post-9/11 War on Terror, the NSA had every intention of ensnaring the phone conversations, e-mails, chat logs, Internet search history, etc. of all Americans into their wide net of domestic surveillance. A 42-page, declassified memo called Transition 2001, published in December 2000 to brief newly elected President Bush on the National Security Agency, declares that the agency’s mission demands “a powerful, permanent presence on a global telecommunications network that will host ‘protected’ communications of Americans as well as the targeted communications of adversaries.”
Predating the Transition 2001 memo by three months, and 9/11 by an entire year, a report entitled Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century calls for the U.S. Department of Defense to aggressively embrace information technologies but warns of a slow implementation unless a “new Pearl Harbor” ushers in an era of high-tech intelligence gathering.
In 2013, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed to the public a massive NSA spy grid violating the 4th Amendment rights targeting ALL Americans. The NSA’s vast wiretapping and surveillance operation, in addition to the agency’s attempt to intimidate the media and whistleblowers from releasing information about programs such as PRISM, has virtually nothing to do with catching terrorists and everything to do with creating a chilling effect that dissuades the free press from exposing government corruption while making Americans fearful of engaging in political free speech.
This document, Summary and Analysis of Key Sections of USA PATRIOT ACT of 2001, tries in as compact a manner as possible to summarize those portions of the “USA Patriot Act of 2001” (hereafter “the Act” or “the Patriot Act”) of interest to Internet companies, Internet service providers, and telecommunications carriers. Therefore, we are primarily interested in the responsibilities and immunities that the Patriot Act provides for various providers. There are important sections of the Act that we do not discuss because they are related to internal governmental issues, immigration law issues, or other issues beyond the scope of this memo. Nor do we evaluate here the constitutionality or wisdom of policy choices reflected in any part of this bill.
Tucker on NSA spying allegations: This is a huge problem for the country
Main Core
Michael Snyder has provided details on Main Core, a list of some 8 million or more names compiled by the CIA and U.S. intelligence. The individuals on the Main Core list, he writes, will be rounded up after the Constitution is suspended and martial law imposed.
According to Wikipedia, Main Core is the code name of a database maintained since the 1980s by the federal government of the United States. Main Core contains personal and financial data of millions of U.S. citizens believed to be threats to national security. The data, which comes from the NSA, FBI, CIA, and other sources, is collected and stored without warrants or court orders. The database’s name derives from the fact that it contains “copies of the ‘main core’ or essence of each item of intelligence information on Americans produced by the FBI and the other agencies of the U.S. intelligence community.”
Senator Feinstein, Rep. Mike Rogers and the apologists for high-tech tyranny insist the NSA’s Prism and Boundless Informant are about protecting us from terrorists. If you are a student of history, however, you will realize this is nonsense. If you know anything about Continuity of Government measures implemented following September 11, 2001 and earlier programs like Rex 84 and Operation Garden Plot, you already have a sneaking suspicion the NSA’s massive surveillance operation has nothing to do with al-Qaeda. It’s about collecting data on American citizens, specifically the eight or so million compiled in the Main Core database.
The NSA’s Prism and Boundless Informant represent only the latest details of a story stretching back decades. The national security state has spent years and expended billions of dollars in a coordinated effort to categorize and monitor enemies of the state.
Martial Law in America
We are seeing today in the headlines the domestic deployment of troops aimed at combating civil unrest in cities under siege by Black Lives Matter. Then, there was the unbelievable lock down of the U.S. Capitol protected by thousands of military troops for the bogus inauguration of Joe Biden.
I think you can pretty well expect depression, civil disorder and possibly wars as a fallout from Covid vaccine mandates. As millions are driven into unemployment and financial crisis following their decision to NOT be inoculated by an experimental DNA altering substance, the stress on the overall economy will be pushed beyond its limits. Desperate and hungry people will eventually pour into the streets demanding their government cease its immoral and unconstitutional mandates on the American people.
To maintain order, government will respond. Naturally, the claim that such troop deployments are merely to aid in disaster relief efforts is a thin veil aimed at distracting from the real goal of instituting their new world order.
The military are primarily trained to kill people and break things. We saw it during the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts that was mainly focused on detaining people in sports stadiums, shooting alleged looters and seizing guns from wealthy home owners in the high and dry areas.
The open admission that U.S. troops will be involved in law enforcement operations as well as potentially using non-lethal weapons against American citizens is a complete violation of the Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act, which substantially limit the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement unless under precise and extreme circumstances.
Section 1385 of the Posse Comitatus Act states, “Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”
Under the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, signed by President Bush on October 17, 2006, the law was changed to state, “The President may employ the armed forces to restore public order in any State of the United States the President determines hinders the execution of laws or deprives people of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law or opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.”
However, these changes were repealed in their entirety by HR 4986: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, reverting back to the original state of the Insurrection Act of 1807. Despite this repeal, President Bush attached a signing statement saying that he did not feel bound by the repeal.
The original text of the Insurrection Act severely limits the power of the President to deploy troops within the United States.
For troops to be deployed, a condition has to exist that, “(1) So hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or (2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws. In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.”
We witnessed the deployment of troops by President Trump to aid in the distribution of an experimental drug presumably to fight Covid-19. Nearly half the American population rejected this drug intervention and government is now stepping up efforts to enforce their illegal drug mandates. They are using non-violent coercive measures to influence populations to take the shot.
“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us,” President Biden said in a speech announcing new vaccine mandates that could cover 100 million Americans.
So, how far will they go to enforce their new world order? So far, we haven’t seen troops herding people into vaccination centers, but that is probably not too far off.
The deployment of National Guard troops to aid law enforcement or for disaster relief purposes is legal under the authority of the governor of a state, but using active duty U.S. Army in law enforcement operations inside America absent the conditions described in the Insurrection Act is completely illegal.
Americans need to wake up and join forces to denounce this plan for what it is – another unconstitutional step towards the incremental implementation of martial law and the militarization of America.
