Why Is It Necessary For The Federal Government To Turn The United States Into A Prison Camp?

There has been no society in the history of the world that has ever been 100% safe. No matter how much money the federal government spends on "homeland security", the truth is that bad things will still happen. Our world is a very dangerous place and it is becoming increasingly unstable. The federal government could turn the entire country into one giant prison camp, but that would still not keep us safe. It is inevitable that bad stuff will happen in life. But we have a choice. We can choose to live in fear or we can choose to live as free men and women. Our forefathers intended to establish a nation where liberty and freedom would be maximized.
But today we are told that we have to give up our liberties and our freedoms and our privacy for increased security. But is such a trade really worth it? Just think of the various totalitarian societies that we have seen down throughout history. Have any of them ever really thrived? Have their people been happy? Unfortunately, the U.S. federal government has decided that the entire country needs to be put on lock down. Nearly everything that we do today is watched and tracked, and personal privacy is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Many of the things that George Orwell wrote about in 1984 are becoming a reality, and that is a very frightening thing. The United States is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. Sadly, we are rapidly becoming the exact opposite of that.
I don't know about you, but I never signed up to live in North Korea. When I was growing up I was taught that repressive regimes such as North Korea are "the bad guys" and that America is where "the good guys" live.
So why do we want to be just like North Korea?
When they put in the naked body scanners at U.S. airports and started having TSA agents conduct "enhanced pat-downs" of travelers, I decided that I was not going to fly anymore unless absolutely necessary.
Then I heard about how "random bag checks" were being conducted at Metro train stations in the Washington D.C. area, and I was glad that I was no longer taking the train into D.C. anymore.
But now the TSA is showing up everywhere. Down in Houston, undercover TSA agents and police officers will now "ride buses, perform random bag checks, and conduct K-9 sweeps, as well as place uniformed and plainclothes officers at Transit Centers and rail platforms to detect, prevent and address latent criminal activity or behavior."
So now I have another thing to add to my list of things that I can't do anymore.
No more riding buses for me.
But the truth is that you can't escape this expanding security grid no matter how hard you try.
In fact, TSA "VIPR teams" conduct approximately 8,000 "unannounced security screenings" every year at bus terminals, train stations, ports and highway rest stops throughout the United States.
Look, every society needs some level of security. There are always bad guys out there that want to harm innocent people.
But in the United States we must demand that those in charge of our security do their jobs in a way that does not compromise our dignity, our liberties or our freedoms.
Does having TSA thugs touch the private parts of old women and young children before they get on their flights keep us any safer?
Of course not.
But it does move our country in a very dangerous direction.
The reality is that this "Big Brother control grid" that is being constructed all around us is expanding in a thousand different ways.
For example, a new bill before the U.S. Congress would require black box data recorders to be installed in all new vehicles starting in 2015. These black box data recorders will be able to constantly transmit data about everything that your car is doing to the government and to the insurance companies. The following is from a recent article by Eric Peters....
And naturally, they – the government, insurance companies – will be able to track your every move, noting (and recording) where you’ve been and when. This will create a surveillance net beyond anything that ever existed previously. Some will not sweat this: After all, if you’ve got nothing to hide, why worry? Except for the fact that, courtesy of almost everything we do being either “illegal” or at least “suspicious” we all have a great deal to hide. The naivety of the Don’t Worry, it’s No Big Deal crowd is breathtaking. Did the average Soviet citizen also “not have anything to hide,” and hence why worry?
But the last possibility is probably the creepiest possibility: EDRs tied into your car’s GPS will give them – the government and its corporate **** ******* (edited for language) – literal physical control over (hack) “your” vehicle. This is not conspiracy theorizing. It is technological fact. Current GM vehicles equipped with the same technology about to be mandated for every vehicle can be disabled remotely. Just turned off. All the OnStar operator has to do is send the appropriate command over the GPS to your car’s computer, which controls the engine. It is one of the features touted by OnStar – of course, as a “safety” feature.
In the future, it will be used to limit your driving – for the sake of “energy conservation” or perhaps, “the environment.” It will be the perfect, er, vehicle, for implementing U.N. Agenda 21 – the plan to herd all of us formerly free-range tax cattle into urban feedlots. So much easier to control us this way. No more bailing out to the country or living off the grid – unless you get there (and to your work) by walking.
Even when you are sitting at home you are still being watched and monitored in countless ways.
For example, every single call you make on your cell phone is intercepted and monitored by the government.
Your Internet activity is tracked and monitored by a whole host of government agencies as well. If you doubt this, just read this article.
Now CISPA would expand government surveillance of the Internet even further. The following description of CISPA comes from the Electronic Frontier Foundation website....
CISPA creates an exception to all privacy laws to permit companies to share our information with each other and with the government in the name of cybersecurity…. CISPA’s ‘information sharing’ regime allows the transfer of vast amounts of data, including sensitive information like internet use history or the content of emails, to any agency in the government including military and intelligence agencies like the National Security Agency or the Department of Defense Cyber Command. Once in government hands, this information can be used for any non-regulatory purpose so long as one significant purpose is for cybersecurity or to protect national security.
Frightening stuff, eh?
I want you to imagine a scenario for a moment. Imagine that the government assigned two "watchers" to you that followed you everywhere you went and stared directly into your face the entire time.
Would you feel comfortable?
Why not?
You don't have anything to hide, do you?
Well, of course the truth is that none of us would like having our privacy constantly invaded. It is not pleasant to constantly feel like you are being watched.
That is why all of these new "security measures" are so alarming. A system is being set up where all of us are being constantly watched and monitored 24 hours a day.
And most Americans have no idea how fast the transition to full martial law could potentially be.
Barack Obama recently updated an old executive order that has been around for decades that would enable him to take charge of all food, all energy, all health resources and all transportation resources in the United States with the stroke of a pen. This new update would allow him to do it even in "non-emergency" situations.
The following is what U.S. Representative Kay Granger recently had to say about this executive order....
This means all of our water resources, construction services and materials (steel, concrete, etc.), our civil transportation system, food and health resources, our energy supplies including oil and natural gas – even farm equipment – can be taken over by the President and his cabinet secretaries. The Government can also draft U.S. citizens into the military and force U.S. citizens to fulfill "labor requirements" for the purposes of "national defense." There is not even any Congressional oversight, only briefings are required.
Later on in her letter, Representative Granger even used the phrases "martial law" and "government takeover" to describe the power that Barack Obama potentially has under this executive order....
It is still unclear why this order was signed now, and what the consequences are for our nation – especially during times of peace. This type of Martial Law imposes a government takeover on U.S. citizens that is typically reserved for national emergencies, not in a time of relative peace.
Do you trust Barack Obama with that kind of power?
Unfortunately, considering the really bad decisions that all of our government officials regularly make, it is really hard to trust any of them to do the right thing at this point.
The American people need to let their voices be heard on these issues. If not, the federal government will continue to strip away our privacy, our liberties and our freedoms until everything is gone.
Do you want your children to grow up in a country that has been turned into a giant prison camp and that more closely resembles North Korea than it does the nation that our forefathers originally founded?
If not, please do what you can to speak out against these abuses.
The truth is that the federal government does not really even care about our national security anyway.
If they did, they would secure our borders. Just today I read that the National Guard is withdrawing 900 troops from the U.S.-Mexico border. Our border security is already a total joke and now it is going to be even worse.
Over the past several decades, tens of millions of people have crossed that border illegally. Every single day, terrorists, drug dealers, gang members, sexual predators and a whole host of other "bad guys" could be crossing that border and we would never even know about it because we aren't doing anything to stop it.
For nearly 60 years, the U.S. government has successfully protected the border between South Korea and North Korea, but the U.S. government flatly refuses to protect our own borders.
Until the federal government decides to do what the U.S. Constitution requires them to do and start protecting our borders, then the federal government should not be asking any of us to make a single sacrifice in the name of "security".
The truth is that we can have a reasonable level of security in this nation without giving up the liberties and the freedoms that millions of Americans have shed their blood to protect.
We do not need to turn the United States into a giant prison camp. America is supposed to be the land of the free, and we need to work hard to get that dream back.

Much of what you say makes sense, but you completely avoid the race angle in the US crime/safety situation. We cannot afford to keep doing this.
Shortly after Ponzi-collapse - via a sustained IranWar oil-price spike - the regime will declare Martial Law and attempt a gun-grab. That will be the flashpoint. We have, at the most, 100-150 days before the onset of Civil War. Invest in lead.
I don't know about the timing, but assuming a real collapse occurs you should prepare yourself for something far more subtle than a gun grab. More likely, they will convince the sheep through endless TV proganda that internal threats exist. Then they will begin to selectively move in on those who they suspect (through endless surveillance) are anti-government. Most of the country -- including many gun owners who have "do nothing wrong and therefore have no reason to protest" -- will support it.
FROM MY COLD, DEAD HANDS.
Why Is It Necessary For The Federal Government To Turn The United States Into A Prison Camp?
Because we are going to arrest the banksters and globalists and throw them into prisons and then redistribute their stolen wealth. They have officially declared war against the US and are currently executing that war against the people of the US as well as many other countries. They have made themselves the very small enemy of the entire world. They will lose the wars they have started.
Look they can take out countries one country at a time but what they can't do is take out the world all at once. Their money will not last as they put their operations into action. A spontaneous arising is under way.
And as fast as the opposition is growing it is very likely to have a peaceful outcome. We have to get up of that thing and make the feeling known.
>>>Because we are going to arrest the banksters and globalists and throw them into prisons and then redistribute their stolen wealth.<<<
Where's the sign-up sheet?
EXACTLY!!!
This country cannot be the land of the free unless it is the home of the brave.
Lots of talk, little else happening.
You mean, land of the FEE and home of the SLAVE, no?
land of debt, home of idiots
welcome to america
Can I supersize that for you mister?
We do not need to turn the United States into a giant prison camp. America is supposed to be the land of the free, and we need to work hard to get that dream back.
It is too late. Americans have allowed themselves to be enslaved and its gone way past the tipping point. Protests? Elections? Third party? I think not. The only hope for Americans and the world is that some external financial shock happens to bring the USA's insolvancy to a head and that the government collapses, literally. Whatever arises in its place will be less dangerous for the world than what we have now. I dont see any other way out for americans or anyone else. The best thing to do is to work for an alternative reserve currency, as that will do the trick.
Looks like we will find out if indeed the pen is mightier than the sword.
There are a host of wordsmith warriors on the internet, such as the author above, who outline the problem well and then conclude with some generality such as "work harder". Harder than what?
What, sir, have you done in your own life to combat the evil you claim to be lurking? Have you made even ONE change in your lifestyle or business methodologies...or are you one of the countless sheep who continue on as before?
All this internet whining is absurd and the mark of true cowardice. The real warrior maintains his silence and decides for himself if and when to strike. If one is not making the hard choices in his own life, then he should keep his mouth shut and not try and exhort others into action on his behalf...not that there is any risk in that happening.
I love the irony of posters on here who make their living on the margins of a corrupt financial system and have the stones to complain about those higher up in the corruption food chain getting more than their perceived "fair share". Where was all the bitching when the bubble was inflating?
Yeah, but I can do it from the comfort of my couch and still feel good about having good intentions and having done something about it.
The war will start when people start going hungry.
"All this internet whining is absurd and the mark of true cowardice."
And, yet, here you are.
Patience.
Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.
self delusion serves no one...including your family.
I would suggest you have NO WINS under your belt that matter.
Most movements begin with the written word. If no one is talking about a problem and expressing support for those who do, fewer will see or appreciate that there is a problem. Television is so insidious in part because it constantly reinforces the idea that everything is fine and that there is nothing to see here, move along.
This article was on Alex Jones last week. Word for word. Scary times we live in. I pray that heaven is a better place.
Zerohedge today is looking a lot like www.prisonplanet.com Glad to see it.

We are NOT Humans on a spiritual journey, rather, we ARE spirits on a Human journey! (Just don't step in the inhumanity)
Hope & Change. Keep watching TV - cause your viewership of TV and their hollywood shit keeps them in power. Nice job - serfs.
no "one" voted into power over you will ever grant you "freedom" - not red, nor blue, nor green, nor lib - until you stop believing in "voting" as a means towards "change" then you'll continually draw lines in the shifting sands and pretend no one crosses "your" boundary.
it's FALSE. the lines are drawn TOP to BOTTOM, and there is zero chance of you getting to TOP now - at best, a uni-Form will buy you some privilege to police others, but you'll sell your soul for that "privilege" - stop bleating about presidents, they mean nothing and simply serve as lightning rods for the discontented.
all transmission gadgets - ALL of them - are used against you, be it TeeVee, or cell phones, or MyPads, or computers - act accordingly.
But mah tawk ray-dee-ooo spakes thah trooooth!
They'll never find my shiny . . .
MEET MY LITTLE METALDETECTOR FRIEND THAT SAYS... BEEP. BEEP!!!
Oops! Found another of my fender washers did you? That's all I have left after the boating accident.
but it looks like they might shut your car down if you stray too far from home (50 miles?) without a special travel permit. At least they want to be able to do that.
"They" hate us for our freedoms.
Rather, what they hate is freedom of choice. That can never be usurped by any group or government even through fantastic command and control. We all have freedom of choice, the past system constructed since WWII was the most profoundly manipulative and useful system of control the world has ever seen since it herded the masses into making choices from personal greed, laziness and fear into directions created by aggregated wealth to increase their aggregate wealth.
This entire facade of increased command and control is merely an illusion or attempt to fool/con ppl with wealth into believing when the system comes apart they will maintain their wealth. What will happen will be complete chaos and anarchy.
Yes but "they" own everything.
American banks own 85% of all US houses and ranches.
Chances are your walking on their property right now...
Yes SD, "they" do "own" it ALL, several Trillions of overleveraged, non performing mortgages! Good Luck, Y'ALL :)))!
This is not the part you get and SD does. They own it all. Follow the money.
Biggest Joke of the Week. Lloyd Blankfein telling us why how he does God's work.
Somehow trying to justify why he is good and somebody, even GS, has to take the opposite side of what they know to be a bad deal that they sold to someone. It is nothing less than total bullshit from the one who controls the world banking system. If that's what you want to call doing God's work.
I call it the legalized, yet the often scrutinized "Banking Cartel" ran by the FED and Goldman Sachs.
After all, Hank Paulson, US Treasurer and former CEO of GS. With the likes of Ben Bernanke monetized the G.S. Failures along with other banks failures. Can you say currency swap lines. Baulouts of 2008 !?! Had they not. Loyld Blankfein would not have got his 100 million dollar bonus that year. The FED continues to hold much of the defunk mortgage debt that the banks once held.
Another joke of the week. The US did not contribute money to the IMF. LOL No, we just gave the failed banks pure cash so they could keep their doors open. Let's just say the currency swap lines are active again. And again to keep the banks open because they are insolvent without the FED's or our money.
Monetization of GS and other bad banks dealings are equal to and just another way to tax the middleclass and poor without their understanding of how it happens.
People know that the price of food and gas and energy goes up. But what they do not understand is, it is the value of their dollar going down. In terms of silver and or gold gas and food have not gone up much at all.
Another joke of the week by Big Ben. We have noticed increased inflation, "But it is temporary". Excuse me, it is never temporary. The FED Lies continue.
Does Oil return to 23 a barrel as it was in 2001 because it is only temporary. I think not. But as China bought more of our debt to support a unfunded war it did shoot up to about 100+ a barrel in 2009. Because our dollar was once again debased by the FED, oops, "Banking Cartel. As it still does today.
actually, they hate you because they are commanded to.
