It is the
invariable habit of bureaucracies, at all times and everywhere,
to assume…that every citizen is a criminal. Their one apparent purpose,
pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the
assumption into a fact. They hunt endlessly for proofs, and, when
proofs are lacking, for mere suspicions. The moment they become
aware of a definite citizen, John Doe, seeking what is his right
under the law, they begin searching feverishly for an excuse for
withholding it from him. ~ H.L. Mencken
"If
You See Something, Say Something" is the detestable slogan
of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This is nothing more
than a campaign by this monstrous government bureaucracy to pit
citizen against citizen due to false fears instilled in the people
by that same bureaucracy. The government is spying on everything
we do, and it is now fooling the fools into spying on themselves.
This is the ultimate in serf-like behavior.
Currently,
the state of Tennessee is acting as a testing ground for the federal
government’s assault on the citizen’s right to privacy. TSA goons
dressed in state sanctioned garb, and heavily armed "law enforcement"
cretins with drug sniffing dogs, are harassing the people of Tennessee
on interstate highways and bus stations. They are doing this of
course all in the name of stopping terrorism. It is interesting
how these state simpletons can at the same time terrorize the general
populace while protecting them from terrorism.
The object
of this charade of course is not to stop terrorism, but to intimidate
(terrorize) the people, and to habituate them, so that they will
come to expect and accept this kind of treatment in order to be
"safe." This indoctrination training by the state is meant
only to beat down the individual into submission, so that state
thugs can gain more control. This is not a new concept, but in the
U.S. today, police state abuses are not only greatly increasing
in numbers, but also are becoming more invasive as every day passes.
The mainstream
media claims that Tennessee is the first state to fight terrorism
statewide, but illegal checkpoints are now being set up all across
the country. The DHS now claims the right to stop and harass anyone,
ask for their "papers," and search them within 100 miles of any U.S. border. This invasive and illegitimate
nonsense affects over 190 million citizens, or about two thirds
of the entire population. The very abusive conduct by these agents
of the state is not restricted to Tennessee, it is evident nationwide.
Checkpoints are everywhere it seems, and the numbers are increasing.
