Heavily armed DHS officers recently stormed the local Social Security office in Leesburg, Florida, and proceeded to set up an unannounced checkpoint. Of course, due to the extreme risk these Florida retirees posed, the DHS surrounded the building with their blue and white SUVs, and posted an armed guard at the entryway.
Other officers rifled through the building with dogs, while more were randomly checking identifications. Of course, there was no cause whatsoever to accost these innocent citizens, but when in this day and age do the feds care about cause? Frightened state authorities, including the police, apparently hid in the closet during this fascist style raid.
The bogus name of this assault was Operation Shield, which sounds more like a name of a war operation in the Middle East than a raid on the elderly. DHS claimed that the stated mission was to detect the “presence of unauthorized persons and potentially disruptive or dangerous activities.” None of these existed of course, but why should that matter?
The real mission of the DHS is to intimidate and terrorize innocent people so as to control them. It will be necessary to break down the resistance of the citizenry, so that the people will not take aggressive action against the state when civil unrest becomes the norm, and Martial Law is implemented.
These checkpoints will increase in number, and will expand in area. A pattern is already obvious, and allowing this to continue is a fool’s game.
The remedy lies with individuals, and the individual states. States should take immediate action to stop the feds from assaulting its citizens. When DHS thugs come into any state to set up these fascist checkpoints, the sheriff’s office, and all other state police forces, should immediately instruct them to leave. If they do not obey, then they should be arrested and jailed.
There are many more of us than there are of them. There is no reason for the states to bow down to the federal government or any of its agencies. There is no reason for the states to allow this Stalinist behavior by the DHS. The use of actionable nullification by individual state forces is necessary, and is enough to squelch any threat by the feds!
