Police State where the individual means nothing
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” – George Orwell 1984
Remember the above quote, for this, is occurring today as we speak; we will explore how we are moving to towards this Orwellian world. For the record, the technique now being used in the US to discredit a person by just publishing opinions and using the mob to destroy them without going to court is a page from the Soviet Union book. The idea there was to discredit your enemy by publishing any trash you could; the ploy was simple to use all media outlets to hammer false narratives and opinion pieces to completely destroy your enemy.
Which validates the argument we put forth several years ago, where we stated the US would embrace communist policies and move more and more towards a police state? Furthermore, we went on to state that nations that were in the police state phase would slowly start to move in the opposite direction; albeit slowly at first but then the momentum would gain traction?
As a result, the US will continue to lose rankings from the list of the best countries to live in, and if the trend continues at the current velocity, then the US will be displaced from the top 10 in the near future. We will explore this concept in more detail in future updates. However, this story provides a very compelling overview of the current situation.
Yesterday I posted a news report and two videos of a white female school teacher being removed and brutalized by a black police officer from a public meeting of school teachers with the school board while the school teacher was engaged according to the rules in normal conversation with a school board member. The school board is comprised of both genders and both races. (Yes, I know that today we have more than two genders and there are more than two races.) Obviously, the school teacher was removed at the order of the school board or some member of it.
The school teacher is surprised to be interrupted in her conversation with a school board member by a policeman. She attempts to continue the conversation and is ordered to leave the room by the black cop. She complies with the black cop’s illegal order. As she leaves the room, the black cop knocks her down, handcuffs her, calls back up, and sends her to jail. This is an accurate picture of America today. The woman did nothing, broke no law, no school board rule, no meeting rule, complied with the black cop, and was still brutalized and arrested. The black cop, as he brutalized her, kept saying “stop resisting.” It is perfectly clear from the video that there is no resistance, only assault by the black cop in what is clearly a criminal action against a member of the public by the police.
Will the black cop get away with it? Of course. What was it all about?
The meeting was about the school board’s approval of a raise in salary for a school board member equal to the annual pay of school teachers, while the teachers themselves received not one cent. The white female teacher assaulted by the black cop wanted to know why resources needed in the classroom, where class size had increased by about one third, were instead going to school board members who really did not do anything except collect high salaries.
This is a fair and honest question, but it was one the school board did not want to hear. So the school board had the Uncle Tom black cop brutalize and arrest the white female school teacher.
As I said, this is America today. The same thing is going on everywhere.
America’s colleges and universities. According to a number of reports, 75 per cent of budgets go to administration. When I attended Georgia Tech there was a president and a dean of students. Today universities have enormous administrative staffs. They have presidents, chancellors, vice-chancellors, provosts, vice provosts, assistant vice provosts, deans, associate deans, and assistant deans for affirmative action, politically correct speech and demeanour, women’s rights, minority rights, homosexuals’ rights, and transgender rights. America’s universities are overrun with administrators. Education hardly exists.
Full-time faculties are shrinking. In place of established professors, students are taught by adjuncts who are paid a few thousand dollars to teach a course. As Ron Unz has shown, Harvard University, for example, has endowment income sufficient to allow every Harvard student to attend tuition-free but continues to charge a monstrous price. It is not the education that Harvard students pay for. It is the network connection, not the education that is valuable. http://bit.ly/2x6VUNx
A very interesting read for it will show you how strong this trend is and when you take a clear look around you will see that the only freedom most enjoy is the freedom to open and lock their own cells.
These quotes should provide some food for thought
As for civil liberties, anyone who is not vigilant may one day find himself living, if not in a police state, at least in a police city. Gore Vidal
A functioning police state needs no police. William S. Burroughs
Surveillance technologies now available – including the monitoring of virtually all digital information – have advanced to the point where much of the essential apparatus of a police state is already in place. Al Gore
To be a member of the Communist Party is to have a taste of the police state. It is a diluted taste but is bitter and unforgettable. Elia Kazan
I’d never been in a police state. I didn’t know what it was. I knew that it was, in the general way that people know that two and two is four, but it had no emotional value for me until I found myself in the middle of it. Alan Furst
If there’s any credence to the guy who wrote ‘Drones over Blkyn’ a year before drones were flying over Brooklyn, then listen to me: we’re going to be in fascist police state. El-P
It seems appropriate that the author of ‘1984’ was a British citizen. George Orwell must have seen how easily the great British public’s lamb-like disposition toward its leaders could be exploited to create a police state. Heather Brooke
Interesting Take on The American Police State
A is for the AMERICAN POLICE STATE. A police state “is characterized by bureaucracy, secrecy, perpetual wars, a nation of suspects, militarization, surveillance, widespread police presence, and a citizenry with little recourse against police actions.”
B is for our battered BILL OF RIGHTS.
C is for CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE, which allows government agents to seize and keep private property whether or not any crime has actually taken place.
D is for DRONES equipped with lasers, tasers and scanning devices, all aimed at “we the people.”
E is for ELECTRONIC CONCENTRATION CAMP, a.k.a., the surveillance state.
F is for FASCISM. A Princeton study concluded that the U.S. government is an oligarchy (ruled by a wealthy elite). We are moving fast towards fascism, a form of government where private corporate interests rule, money calls the shots, and the people are seen as mere economic units.
G is for GRENADE LAUNCHERS, part of the more than $18 billion worth of battlefield-appropriate military weapons, vehicles and equipment distributed to domestic police departments across the country.
H is for HOLLOW-POINT BULLETS, which have been stockpiled by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration.
I is for the INTERNET OF THINGS, a “connected” industry that propels us closer to a future where a person’s biometrics can be used to track their movements, target them for advertising, and keep them under perpetual surveillance.
J is for JAILING FOR PROFIT, a $70 billion private prison industry that relies on the complicity of state governments to keep their privately run prisons full by jailing large numbers of Americans for inane crimes. Full Story
