I have tried to look at many different issues from across the political and social spectrum over time. The problem is there are so many important issues facing our society right now, no one person or blog could cover them all and do justice to them. So I have decided for the current and near future I am going to focus on three or four main issues, they are “our 2nd Amendment rights”, “the muslim problem”, “the militarization of the growing police state” and “financial collapse and/or civil unrest”. I want to focus on these issues because they have the potential, at some point in the future (near future), to become actual physical conflicts. There are other issues that could lead us into a physical conflict also, I will touch on them as they will relate to other issues. So much of what is happening in our country is the cause or affect of something else.
Of course I sound like a conspiracy nut when I start talking about physical conflicts on the streets of America. Too many people have convinced themselves that it can’t happen here, not in a million years. Unless things change considerably in the near future (couple of years), I believe that it can and will happen. Even without looking at any specific issues or situations, ask yourself why the federal government has been, and continues to, purchase large amounts of weapons and ammunition. Weapons and ammunition for departments and agencies that have no real need for them, nor any enforcement powers that would allow them to utilize these weapons. Couple that with the sheer volume of military hardware being given to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies under the DOD’s 1033 program. Initially authorized under the NDAA in 1990, the programs scope was strictly authorized as a new tool in the “war on drugs”. The program was expanded considerably a few years later to include material that could be used in “the execution of law enforcement activities”. That’s pretty dam vague isn’t it? Then of course 9/11 and the Patriot Act helped to expand the program and the distribution of even more equipment and weaponry.
Now add into the mix the new Fusion Centers being set up, these centers bring together federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, under one roof. My biggest concern with these centers is how they are being used. Information has come out already that shows that they are more concerned with watching and labeling patriotic Americans as a terrorist threat, then they are concerning true terrorist activity. Their list of dangerous people includes the Tea Party, Oathkeepers, Three Percenters and basically anyone that believes in their Constitutional Rights and Freedoms.
So far we have not even looked at any real issues, only at the past and present behavior of the federal government. It leaves you questioning and wondering what they are preparing for in the future, near or far. No other administration in our history has felt the need to arm every government agency in the executive branch. Nor have any previous administrations attempted to bring together federal, state and local law enforcement, while at the same time choosing which laws to enforce and which to ignore. At the same time intentionally breaking the laws concerning immigration and the security of our national borders.
I am going to start presenting articles focused primarily around the four issues I listed above. While you are waiting, consider what I have brought up concerning the federal government, and start doing your own research. You may realize I am not as much of a conspiracy nut as I may have first appeared to be.
