Though I’ve been saying it for years, the venerable Wall Street Journal finally got around to asking this week if it’s “time to reconsider the militarization of American policing.”
Um, hell yeah it is.
There are 97% more SWAT raids today than there were in 1980 — from 2,000 to over 50,000 per year!
WSJ noted:
… from bayonets and M-16 rifles to armored personnel carriers — American police forces have often adopted a mind-set previously reserved for the battlefield. The war on drugs and, more recently, post-9/11 antiterrorism efforts have created a new figure on the U.S. scene: the warrior cop — armed to the teeth, ready to deal harshly with targeted wrongdoers, and a growing threat to familiar American liberties.
In 1983, only 13% of towns under 50,000 had SWAT teams.
Today, over 80% of them have men and women of below-average intelligence ready to force you to the ground, maggot.
NASA, the IRS, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Education, and several other agencies that have no business having armed officers now ALL have SWAT teams.
This massive standing army of intimidation — one our Founders feared — has been slowly developed since the 1960s.
At a glacial pace, you didn’t even notice it, did you?
Hundreds of innocent people have been killed in bungled SWAT operations. Cops routinely (and illegally) harass citizens for recording their harsh and unconstitutional actions.
And — surprise, surprise! — a federal judge has now ruled that it’s perfectly legal to only hire people of below-average intelligence to carry out these acts. A thinking man might question them, after all. And we wouldn’t want that.
Even the Pope — the guy who heads the institution that launders billions and covered up the rape of children — is saying the path we’re on isn’t sustainable. (In fairness, this guy’s better than the last. He’s taken steps to tighten Vatican law already. But the institution is still terrible, and I served on the altar for ten years.)
His visit to Brazil comes at a time when thousands are rioting because of the government’s failure to provide basic necessities while spending billions to host the World Cup. Taking the side of the protesters, Pope Francis noted that globally “we risk having a generation that hasn’t held a job. Personal dignity comes from working, from earning your bread.”
This comes as we learn that more Americans are now on federal welfare than work in the private sector.
That’s probably why so many people are home during those police raids…
Sorry for the cynicism, but you have to agree it’s getting pretty bad out there.
New polls out this week show two-thirds of Americans say the federal government is broken.
Over 40% think capitalism isn’t working.
And more than half agree that hard work and determination are no longer a guarantee of success.

It is said that there are an estimated 278 million sociopaths in the World. That is about 4% of the population or 1 in 25 people. Chances are you have crossed paths with several of them in your life. The most obvious ones we know of are the likes of Adolf Hitler, Kim Jung Un, George W Bush, Condoleezza Rice, Jim Jones, Charles Manson…the list goes on. Frighteningly the more common unknown ones could be your best friend, your partner, your elected politician, neighbor, work mate and so forth.
WHAT IS A SOCIOPATH?
A SOCIOPATH is a person with anti social behavior problems. They have no EMOTION or CONSCIENCE They see themselves as PREDATORS and any other living thing as PREY. Without emotion they CAN NOT love. Their relationships are ARTIFICIAL and are only MIMICKED as they have no feelings towards others. They live in a DELUSIONAL world and think of themselves as grand and capable of anything. They purposely use and seriously DAMAGE all those around them. They are mostly able to to this without being noticed. They are COMPULSIVE LIARS and MANIPULATORS. They STEAL in order to manipulate or TRAP you into their web. They are SOCIAL creatures which in most cases are well liked by those around them. They spend their LIFETIME looking for the WEAK and VULNERABLE. Once located they will use them until totally spent and only then will they move onto the next VICTIM. They are freaks of nature and could barely be called human as they have no conscience. They are capable of HORRENDOUS CRIMES and will stop at nothing to commit them. They will steal your jewelry and give it as a gift to someone they are trying to LURE into their GAME by having RELATIONHIPS with them. They will then make you believe that you have lost your jewelry and you need to get some help getting your memory checked. Look out folks….these freaks are everywhere… STAY ALERT and LISTEN to your FIRST INSTINCT as that is always right. Keep far away from them and don’t socialize or have anything to do with them if and when you even think one is LATCHING onto you. Remember they are CHARMING and will do anything to get you. Don’t become a victim as the sufferance can last a lifetime.
If you feel strong about this subject and wish to help others avoid such freaks, please go to http://www.facebook.com/AreYouLivingWithASociopath . Kindly like the page and keep an eye out for updates to the making of the awareness documentary, “Are You Living With a Sociopath”.
Good Luck, stay safe and above all….far away from sociopaths.
All you need is a politician that failed maths in high school. Former Australian Treasurer and Prime Minister, Paul Keating is one of them. He created forced superannuation onto every working Australian with the idea that they would be able to save and create a piggy bank for their retirement. The managed super funds are run by super fund brokers and insurance companies who all benefit at a rate of $15 to $20 a month managing your hard earned cash. They invest this money with disasterous consequence. In the last 5 years alone Australians have lost more than $5 billion dollars to these mongrels. What more, you can’t touch your money by law unless you become disabled or reach retirement age of 65 with plans to put this up to 67. Little I have left in my Super fund I cannot take to make life easier today…This is plain criminal. Your thoughts?
