By now, most all are aware of the horrific situation in Ferguson, Missouri that has resulted due to a teenager being murdered by a Ferguson police officer named Darren Wilson. The teenager was shot six times, with two of the shots being fired into his head. Eyewitness accounts differ from the police version, but that is not surprising in this now police state of America where fatal police violence is an everyday occurrence, and police have nearly absolute immunity. The teenager in question, Michael Brown, regardless of his background, was unarmed, and considering that he was gunned down by multiple shots, with two being fired into his head, overkill seems to be an understatement.
The rioting and violence that has ensued, while somewhat understandable considering the police crime committed, is just throwing fuel on an already uncontrollable fire. Aggressive violence against the innocent citizens and business owners of Ferguson by those upset by this killing is not warranted, nor is it helpful or justified. In fact, it is downright immoral, and does nothing but worsen an already impossible situation. What is happening now at the hands of the state, while wrong and totalitarian, is the direct result of the rioting, looting, and chaos perpetrated by those who chose violence instead of addressing this heinous crime without direct aggression. This has given the police state exactly what it desires, a reason that can be used to step up its totalitarian control of the city. Martial Law is coming.
The police state expansion that has been occurring in this country is now nearly complete. The militarization of the police by the Pentagon and the evil Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is firmly in place, but the final step for total population control will have to involve the military. There have been military interventions in domestic policing in recent times in New Orleans after Katrina and in Boston after the so-called marathon bombings. Others have happened of course in the past as well, the Kent State massacre is one example. Also, armed federal agents were deployed in Utah in the Bundy standoff. But now, heavily armed soldiers will take to the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, because the governor of that state has called for the deployment of the Missouri National Guard.
Today, there is no real state controlled national guard or reserves, at least not in any legitimate sense. Those forces have been completely federalized, and even worse have become nothing more than an extension of the military industrial complex for the purpose of aggressive war. Many if not most of those deployed to murder innocents around the world in U.S. wars and occupations are now those in the National Guard and Reserves. They are no longer isolated and used for humanitarian efforts controlled by the states. Therefore, they should be considered as nothing less than the complicit agents of the warmongers in government and the military.
The precedent is being set to allow the military, whether in the form of the active duty military or the reserves, to act as police in many domestic situations. This is atrocious, and can lead to nothing other than a militarized state. The deployment of the military in Ferguson will serve as a model for all future domestic disturbances, and will be sold to the public through the use of propaganda as a way for the local peace to be preserved. In fact, the governor of Missouri said today that the military deployment was meant to restore peace. That is a bald faced lie, as those being deployed are the same soldiers who follow orders to murder innocent men, women, and children around the world. What will keep them from killing Americans when they see themselves as soldiers in a war zone? Absolutely nothing!
This is the ultimate slippery slope, because if the military is allowed to act as domestic police in this and other similar circumstances, how long will it be until we all live under military rule? Don’t allow these local and state invasions with the controlling hand of the feds to continue, as it will be the beginning of the end.
