The Preparation And Planning Of Police State USA

The beginning of the militarization of America’s police forces began in 1967 with the introduction of a “Special Weapons and Tactics” (SWAT) team in Los Angeles created by Inspector Daryl Gates. Some argue that the first SWAT team was in Philadelphia, but the real expansion of this police state movement is rooted in Los Angeles. That is not to say that militarized actions against civilians domestically had not occurred in the past, but things began to heat up in the 60s and 70s, and have gotten worse ever since, especially after the events of September 11th, 2001.

What has happened was planned and orchestrated, it did not balloon into this monster by accident or necessity. What began as a movement to create a more lethal and specialized police unit for domestic use has become the scourge of this country. The initiation and buildup of advanced domestic policing should never have taken place, and now we all face the dire consequences of the purposeful development of this now Stasi state called America. Slippery slope does not begin to describe the end result of this incremental construction of a near absolute police state.

Things were bad enough before the questionable events of 9/11, but this past decade has seen changes that even George Orwell could not have imagined. Today there are 50,000 (some estimates are 80,000 or more) SWAT raids across this country every year. That equates to 0ver 200 per day, with the vast percentage of those heinous raids being for the purpose of simply serving search warrants. Almost all of those are for drug related “crimes,” mostly where no victim actually exists. The drug war has been responsible for much of the growth of the police state, and those who profit from this tyranny, including the massive prison industrial complex, continue to gain incredible wealth at the expense of ordinary American citizens.

This is not an ordinary police state, or what most of the sheep in the U.S. would call a minor police state, because it is not only isolated to the local and state police who now have an almost unlimited supply of military weapons of war, but also includes the National Guard, Reserves, and the active military. We are entering an era of what might be termed a total police state!

Alan Grayson, a Democrat Congressman from Florida, introduced a bill to disallow the Pentagon from supplying military equipment to local police agencies across the country, and almost 70% of lawmakers voted against it. It is no wonder, because “the average lawmaker voting against the bill received more than $50,000 in campaign donations from the defense industry in the last two years. The report also found that of the 59 lawmakers who received more than $100,000  from defense contractors in the last two years, only four voted for Grayson’s legislation.” In this article at Prison Planet, and according to data compiled by Maplight, those congressmen “voting to continue funding the 1033 Program have received, on average, 73 percent more money from the defense industry than representatives voting to defund it.”

Obviously, money and power play a prominent role in how Congress votes, even when their votes are directly related to creating a tyrannical government and its heavily armed agents of force used to control the general serf like population. But it doesn’t stop there.

In another article by Paul Joseph Watson of Prison Planet, it is exposed that the United States Army is not only preparing for, but has legal authorization to deploy here at home for the purpose of  domestic policing. This has come to light due to a 132 page Army document drafted in April of this year that has been released by Public Intelligence. It is titled U.S. Army Techniques Publication 3-39.33: Civil Disturbances. The PDF of this abhorrent document exposes not only that the Army can and will act in any domestic disturbance, but that it may use lethal force against unarmed civilians as well. As reported by Watson:

The document makes it clear that the techniques detailed therein are to be applied both outside and inside the “continental United States (CONUS)” in the event of “unruly and violent crowds” where it is “necessary to quell riots and restore public order.”

The training manual outlines scenarios under which, “Civil unrest may range from simple, nonviolent protests that address specific issues, to events that turn into full-scale riots.”

The most shocking aspect of the document is the fact that it describes the deployment of a “lethal response” directed against “unarmed civilians,” including “sniper response” and “small arms direct fire.”

Under the heading “sniper response,” the document states, “Ensure that target leaders or troublemakers are targeted,” in addition to a passage which states, “Exploit the psychological effect of an attack.”

As I said recently, what is happening in Ferguson, Missouri today could be happening nationwide soon. There is little time left, and ignorance and apathy will be no excuse when the military and police working in tandem break down your door. Wake up, make noise,  and take control of your local police before it is too late. We are on the edge of madness, and Martial Law is not only possible, but imminent if this totalitarian absurdity is not extinguished!
