While just perusing the news (real news) this morning, I was at once angry and disgusted.
The headlines are ominous. U.S. and NATO troops have been sighted on Jordan’s border with Syria. This is troubling, as any escalation of tensions in Syria will inevitably involve Iran. This is planned, but I can’t say enough about the great danger of instigating WWIII in that region.
Iran may be practicing closing the Strait of Hormuz, and if things continue to worsen, or if the U.S. attacks Syria or Iran, this closing could come to fruition. That would immediately cause oil prices to escalate greatly. This would mean much higher energy prices, and much economic stress for Americans who are already at the breaking point.
Also in the news is that the militarized police are now using drones to spy on Americans. Drones have already been used on the borders, but local “law enforcement” in North Dakota just captured three suspected armed men by using a Predator B unmanned drone. It was only after the drone confirmed the the men were unarmed that the state thugs moved in to make an arrest. How can armed men be unarmed?
We are now living in a fascist police state, and rights destruction will only worsen from here. Al Palmer, Director of Unmanned Aircraft Training at the world’s largest center at the University of North Dakota, which just so happens to be the location of the arrest alluded to above, said that “The world is going to spend $80 billion on unmanned aircraft between now and 2016.” What does that mean to you and me? Tyranny!
These are just stories from today, and while all this is going on, the U.S. economy, as well as most of the rest of the world’s economies are continuing to plummet. It is time to prepare for very uncertain and troubling times ahead!
