Please watch the videos very carefully. Please turn up the volume, shut out everything else and focus on the pictures. This is what our country has become. When you look at the video, when you see the bombs going off again and again in and among these kids, you must be impacted by this.
Remember, these protesters are largely kids. Young, pulsating, wild. But kids. But these are our nation’s children. And we are permitting paramilitary forces to fire upon them with scarcely a wimper of protest and certainly no protest that comes close to matching the magnitude of these transgressions.
The federal government has turned our civilian police forces into paramilitary occupying forces. And if you think this is bad, just wait until the real military assets are repositioned from their foreign targets and focused inwardly on “domestic security”. I know it makes me feel very much insecure.
I met with a retired high ranking officer this weekend and we discussed all this at length. We talked about how tense and disaffected he was after returning from Iraq a few years back and about how I predicted the kind of uprising we’re seeing years ago. He described the challenges our men and women in uniform faced in Iraq in particular because they were so tightly constrained in the force they were permitted to display, much less use.
And then as we reviewed this video, he made a point that every single American should pay very close attention to. He reminded me that if any unit had executed this level of aggressiveness in the midst of this kind of protest in Iraq, investigations would be convened and that every single soldier on scene and every single officer up the chain of command would be investigated until the bad actors were identified and subject to court marshal.
Watch the video below and think about that.
America.
Time to sue our congressmen for failing to protect the citizens of america. Isn’t that what the federal government was put in place for in the beginning? The constitution does not give the government authority to rape and pillage the world and send us the bills. They are more concerned about protecting the US “interests” around the world. Well, what are those “interests” the government is spending hundreds of billions of our money protecting? Answer – The banksters! Yes, it is the financial interests of the bankers/ government to finance trade and make deals with other countries to “secure” natural resources to satisfy the glutons of America – the gas guzzling SUV’s, etc. and Americas insatiable appetite for useless trinkets that deprive the rest of the world of a fair and balanced trade. Americans need to look in the mirror at how we consume an unfair amount of the worlds oil, etc. We need clean and free energy to prevent the proliferation of wars and military regime mentality. We created a monster and that monster just might one day turn on us. Ask the kids in Oakland.
