The Founding Fathers Warned Of This

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Mac Slavo via SHTFPlan.com,

It seems that the only response to terrorism is more surveillance, security, police presence and, of course, war.

Ignoring the lessons of blowback and escalation that have played out for many years now, the major powers of the world are broadcasting fears and preparing to clamp down on society in response to renewed threats from ISIS and other terror organizations.

None of it will stop potential attacks from happening, but it will firmly entrench the authority of police and other officials to suspect anyone and sidestep the law when a threat is felt.

Take a look at how terror and fear have gripped headlines and taken over the news cycle, and ask yourself who benefits from this:

post-paris-police-state.13-PM

Although officials have admittedly not stopped any attacks from happening, the system is self-assured in its show of force – with SWAT-style police forces clad in all black hunting down suspects and locking down streets in Paris, Belgium and other parts of Europe.

The Daily Mail highlighted some of the most recent threats, along with just one of the several suspicious persons found at or near major security concerns, including the Pentagon, and in a separate case, the LAX airport:

Washington D.C residents were left on edge after an internal police alert about four Middle Eastern-looking men ‘acting suspiciously’ in the Pentagon metro station was leaked just two days after ISIS announced the capital was their next target.

 

[…]

On Monday, a chilling video emerged of ISIS warning that countries taking part in air strikes against Syria will suffer the same fate as Paris.

 

They also said they would hit the U.S capital next.

 

The specific threat against the US capital emerged as CIA director John Brennan warned that more atrocities will be committed against the West by the Islamist terror group.

With New York and Washington, D.C. once again named as terrorism targets, police are gearing up in the homeland as well. It is a bittersweet reminder that the atmosphere that enveloped America for many years after 9/11 will not fade away, but remain a part of our culture. Unless someone cuts through this madness, the attacks on civil liberties will only deepen, and the national conversation will be all too centered on false promises of liberty-through-security.

Hillary, for one, who effectively has the Democratic nomination in hand, is using the occasion to vow a hawkish stance on the Middle East, though her previous meddling as Secretary of State did much to stir the violence and chaos that has swept over the region.

“The United States has been conducting this fight for more than a year; it’s time to be begin a new phase and intensify and broaden our efforts,” Clinton told the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.

 

“We should have no illusions about how difficult the mission before us really is … but if we press forward on both sides of the border, in the air on the ground and as well as diplomatically, I do believe we can crush Isis’s enclave of terror,” she added.

 

[…] She also said the US should arm Sunni tribes and Kurds in the country if the government in Baghdad refused to.

 

But Clinton called for further US special forces to be deployed to Syria too, reiterated her call for a no-fly zone and demanded an “intelligence surge” to allow the airstrikes against Isis to be stepped up. “We have a lot of work to do to really decimate Isil in Iraq and Syria,” she said, using an alternate name for Isis.

The words hold an ominous tone for what may be coming in the next four years of the presidency.

Yet it is not unique to the ambitious Hillary Clinton – indeed, there are few voices in government calling for restraint, and every sign that more attacks are forthcoming on all sides.

These developments in terrorism are textbook Hegelian Dialectic, using problem-reaction-solution to justify a greater military presence in Syria and Iraq, despite nearly a decade and a half of fighting jihad, civil war and supporting “frenemies” across the region with arms, training and financial support.

The founding fathers warned of this, but could scarcely foresee the cynical nature of today’s police state – where the terrorists created by the state have become the population’s worst nightmare.

In one variation of the statement, Benjamin Franklin wrote: “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”

These attacks sure do work great for the government. More and more people are now onboard with the idea of troops going back into Iraq and into Syria. Who wins when this happens? The government, every time, since they can get away with granting themselves new and bigger powers over us. Obviously this works great for the jihadists as well. There is no better recruiting tool. And when we step up air strikes in response, inevitably killing a bunch of innocents while doing so, it gives them even more recruits. Who loses? All of us. Every single average joe citizen that just wants to live his life without getting taxed to pay for it or blown up by some hajji kid who hates us because our Air Force wiped out his family.

Shootout that wounded 17 in New Orleans park is gang-related: police

 

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - A weekend shootout that wounded 17 people, including a 10-year-old boy, in a New Orleans park appears to be gang-related, city officials said on Monday, as they urged hesitant witnesses to come forward with information about the suspects and a motive.

The incident unfolded Sunday evening at a playground in the city's Upper 9th Ward where a crowd of as many as 500 people had gathered for a block party and the filming of a music video, police said.

Two groups began shooting at each other "with hundreds of people in the way," New Orleans Police Superintendent Michael Harrison told reporters, adding automatic weapons were fired.

This just in: the shooters have been identified as some white privileged boys from Kid Rock's trailer park, who also were seen posing with swastikas and rebel flags tattooed on their arms on Facebook earlier, just before shooting up the scene with their hunting rifles and crossbows and then driving away in their loud improperly muffled lifted pickup trucks with naked woman mud flaps. Further damning evidence of the ongoing War on Black Lives(tm). (Not to mention the War on Women(R)!) Now here is Yale's president with an important announcement:

Anyone who has examined the 9/11 event closely knows that it was an inside job.  Your own government is terrorizing you all the time, but that is what happens in a fascist, police state.  Fear is the key to control the populace:

Ex-Italian President: Intel Agencies Know 9/11 An Inside Job 


Man who blew the whistle on Gladio tells Italy's largest newspaper attacks were run by CIA, Mossad

Former Italian President and the man who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, Francesco Cossiga, has gone public on 9/11, telling Italy’s most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies.

Cossiga was elected President of Italian Senate in July 1983 before being winning a landslide 1985 election to become President of the country in 1985.

Cossiga gained respect from opposition parties as one of a rare breed – an honest politician – and led the country for seven years until April 1992.

http://www.globalresearch.ca/ex-italian-president-intel-agencies-know-9-...

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

It seems the brainless just go along with everything and the the intelligent just want to hide.  Good luck hiding from this.  If people oppose this openly they may be putting themselves at risk but the way I see it if this juggernaut isn't stopped the lucky will be the ones targeted first, everyone else can enjoy a full life of the creation of their own cowardice.   

Once everybody who has a dissenting opinion cowers or is afraid to point out that we are under attack from our own, it's over.  Like TD alluded too everybody needs to stop being so afraid.

I agree, it is pathetic. Suddenly it's a bad thing to be a straight white make with a job and a family. The most demonized group in the country. Which also happens to be the group that pays for all this shit too. Every time I see shit like that it makes me worry for the future. As for the two gay guys and a kid - I'll go against the grain here and say that two men or two women raising an unwanted child like that is far better than the child being raised by the state, since we all know how that usually turns out. I really don't care what adults do in the bedroom with each other, and gay people really don't bother me, I'm just sick of having it thrown in my face all the fucking time. You can't hardly watch anything on TV without it being on there, nearly every show. Our kids are being conditioned to think all this is normal.

That's where they eventually want it to be: 50/50 breeders and non-breeders, both working together to serve the Collective Few, with hard work today and planned obscolescence/"retirement" tomorrow.

Gay people don't have kids. And some people who do have kids raise them to be slaves, or gay.  (Or in some cases, an extraordinarily mind-fucked combination of both.)

WELLLL, this "shit" has been there all along.....it is now just reflected in our media, which managed to act like there were no Gay people around since the 1950's when TV Land took off.

 

LOOK PEOPLE:   there are GAY PEOPLE, very likely, RIGHT IN YOUR FAMILY, right next door, etc.    I have in fact known many families in my time and I am an old straight guy and MOST if NOT ALL of these near-normal families (if there is such a thing, HA!) have had Gay boys and girls in them...my Wife's cousin, etc, etc.    It is just a fact.

 

But it really irritates some who have never looked this phenomenon in the face.   So, it is outrageous now to see it reflected in our TV's.   THIS COMMENTARY you added today is totally main-stream and I feel for you, but the reality is that Gays are here and all around us and get used to it.

You are missing the point.  No person in their right mind would define themselves by their preferred position in bed.  Those who do wear it like a badge of honor.  Dig deeper and find out these men are being drawn to what is familiar, anal penetration.  You give what you got and you get what you give eventually.  We are animals with instincts, knee jerk reactions.  And we are conditioned during childhood.

"By age 16, as many as one in six boys in America has had unwanted sex with an adult or older child. Millions of men, abused as children, continue to live with the debilitating effects of shattered trust."

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/psychoanalysis-30/201101/talking-ab...

It is not the idea of 2 men loving each other for eternity that is disturbing.  It is men being SENTENCED to a life without a family structure because they were exploited. 

Was visiting a neighbor, a neighbor of hers, a teen boy who was effeminate came by.  He told us he was going to baby sit for the 2 children next door while their mother went out on a date.  Two children were a 7 year old girl and a 2 year old boy.  Approxiately 20 min later, I see the little girl outside playing by herself.  I walked out to talk to her.  She said the baby sitter told her to go outside for a while.  I knocked on the door.  The teen showed up with a towel wrapped around his waist.  Seems he was taking a bath with the 2 year old boy.  Now, the rage I felt that this was going on was only compounded by the mother who appeared to not find it alarming at all.  Just taking a bath.  I said, "You Must Be Kidding." I just left because there was nothing she wanted more than a free baby sitter. 

Gay behavior is a symptom of a sick, sick society.

Your mention of the Empire there has me thinking about the New Star Wars movie.  The movie being such a huge sensation with a huge audience I wonder if they can keep themselves from spewing some black and white pro-war propaganda throughout the movie.  It happens all the time but one example was in 300 they had that line in there "freedom isn't free" which was being on FOX incessantly at the time.

The founders trashed the Articles that held the states and citizens sovereign and ratified the constitution which made the national government sovereign and the states mere lines on a map and citizens slaves because they wanted a "strong central government". Their words, not mine.

One of these days we will begin to hear words like 'united', 'coalition'. 'central', 'one', etc. continously in the MSM.  One false flag after another until everyone submits. People are very scared right now and already looking to government for protection.

 

"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond [i.e., an "isis/isil/alqaida" invasion], whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government."

An amusing twist to the global paranoia now catching the world by the nuts :

Rand Paul wants to impose restrictions on French tourists who come to the USA. In the aftermath of realizing that 50% at least of the Paris Jihadist hit squads were French citizens.

Hollande comes to Obama to talk grand anti-Isis coalition and Rand Paul wants to segregate the french citizen from "friends of USA" camp.

When the Titanic starts feeling the shock of its encounter with the big white one of its own creation.

"Every country for itself"...Isolationism and nationalistic segregation that always turns to populist hatred. Back to the 1930s we go.
