Photos during the lockdown in Boston for the manhunt of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. “This huge manhunt just for one 19 year old kid is insane." The reaction most Americans made during the manhunt.
Did anyone else think this manhunt was a drill? Especially after what we might be headed for in striking Syria? Russia, Iran, and China claims they’re standing by the regime if we strike. So was America getting prepared? After all, America does have “The largest military budget in the world.”
Signs of tyranny in 2013:
Use of staged events to produce popular support: Acts of terrorism, blamed on political opponents, followed immediately with well-prepared proposals for increased powers and budgets for suppressive agencies. Sometimes called a Reichstag plot.
Militarization of law enforcement: Declaring a “war on crime” that becomes a war on civil liberties. Preparation of military forces for internal policing duties.
Infiltration and subversion of citizen groups that could be forces for reform: Internal spying and surveillance is the beginning. A sign is false prosecutions of their leaders.
Political correctness: Many if not most people are susceptible to being recruited to engage in repressive actions against disfavored views or behaviors, and led to pave the way for the dominance of tyrannical government.
Increasing dependency of the people on government: The classic approach to domination of the people is to first take everything they have away from them, then make them compliant with the demands of the rulers to get anything back again.
“Engaging our military in Syria when no direct threat to the United States exists and without prior congressional authorization would violate the separation of powers that is clearly delineated in the Constitution.”
