Every major police force in the U.S. is now being militarized. Part of the reason is the drug gangs and the terrorist threat but that also gave police forces the excuse and the money they needed to create their own army. In third world nations warlords have that type of power. Here it is drug gangs and police gangs and the attitude of both is it is us against them. When the “them” becomes the citizens you already have a local police state. That is now true in some areas of the U.S. but not in most rural areas. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that if the trend continues a police state is in our future.

With one word from the federal government based on some perceived threat all these heavily armed local police forces will become nationalized and there arises the official big police state. Right now all the big police forces are in training for their future police state role that everyone but the sheeple knows is inevitable.

Much can be determined about your own police force by how they treat the citizens. If they treat you as if you are guilty until proven innocent, If you get thrown on the ground instead of questioned. if they just break down your doors when they could have knocked (with some exceptions), if a gun is pointed at you and you are unarmed, if they have road check points looking for anything they can find, if they pull you over for a minor infraction and then ask to search your vehicle, If they want to search your vehicle and the only option you are given to refuse is a vehicle impoundment, if they travel in packs like a gang, if they look like storm troopers when on routine patrol, etc. Then there is a good chance that you are already living in a police state.

American Chronicle | Americans Are Living (And Dying) In A Militarized Police State

Today, police departments across the United States more closely resemble an occupying army than they do public servants responding to calls for help. Police officers can now be seen wearing helmets and body armor and carrying AR-15’s, just to deliver simple warrants. The militarization of our police departments not only gives the appearance of a military dictatorship but places the public at great risk.

Many municipalities are using Homeland Security grants to even purchase large armored vehicles. The Pittsburgh Police Department now uses their 20-ton armored truck complete with rotating turret and gun ports to deliver many of their warrants. Pittsburgh Police Sgt. Barry Budd recently told the Associate Press: “We live on being prepared for ‘what if’.”

Our police departments now regularly receive free surplus equipment from the U.S. military, which they readily accept. The training being given at many police academies appears to be the type of tactics one would use in Baghdad, rather than Baltimore. It would seem that our police officers are being readied for war, with the American public as the enemy. In the last several years, there has been a transformation from community policing to pre-emptive assaults

SWAT teams were designed to deal with very violent individuals who represent a clear and present threat to the public. However, they are now being used to execute warrants on non-violent offenders and even those who have no prior criminal history at all. Turning our neighborhood cops into shock troops will do nothing but erode public confidence in the police and endanger the lives of innocent Americans.

Recently, Boston´s new police commissioner William Fitchet announced that the department´s Street Crimes Unit will begin wearing military-style black uniforms, to instill a sense of “fear.” At last week´s city council meeting, police Sgt. John Delaney told council members that the black uniforms would send the message that officers were serious.

Did someone declare martial law?

I thought you might like to read a good story about how things are going south of the boarder. It looks like the whole Mexican nation in on the brink of anarchy thanks to drugs and the bought and paid for local law officers. It appears that all the power of the Federal government is incapable of stopping the slide into corruption and lawlessness.

Mexico’s war on drugs: Journey into a lawless land - Americas, World - The Independent

With 1,400 dead this year alone, and gangs pinning up ‘wanted’ posters naming police they wish to see killed, Mexico’s war on drugs is spiralling out of control. Richard Grant risked his life to travel through the mountains of the Sierra Madre – the most dangerous region of all – and witnessed the terrifying slide into anarchy

The largest component of Mexico’s economy is still drug trafficking, estimated at about $50bn. According to a leaked study conducted in 2001 by Mexico’s internal security agency CISEN, if the drug business was somehow wiped out, Mexico’s economy would shrink by 63 per cent.

If Mexico does not win this battle on drug trafficking we will end up with a hostile nation on our south border. Then we will be forced to send our military to defend our south border. The first thing we need to do is to start posting that anyone crossing into the U.S. illegally from Mexico is subject to deadly force and give our border patrol the weapons, technology and the backing to carry out that policy.

I don’t care what some are saying about the danger this would bring to the innocent illegals that are only coming across to make a living. They are only coming across now because they know they can. Besides, they are already in great danger by those who smuggle them like cattle along with their drugs - hundreds die each year. Common people in Mexico will soon get the message that you do not cross into the U.S illegally if we truly enforce our borders.

How do Liberal “compassionate” supporters of illegal entry rationalize that this policy is causing thousands of deaths and lawlessness in Mexico? Not to mention that drug running across our south border helps to kill many thousands of Americans and ruin the lives of millions through drug addiction. Is that compassion? Sometimes you need tough laws to protect people from the greedy predators of the world.

They say if we tighten up enforcement of our borders some poor workers might get killed but they totally ignore the fact that many thousands are being killed and that whole nations are being subverted by drug cartels.

Sometimes you have to fight to protect a civil society. Do sane people want drug cartels running Mexico? I assure you it will not have a good outcome. Now is the time to put pressure on our own government to join forces with President Calderon to ruthlessly crush the drug cartels. We also need to crush drug gangs in our own nation that have virtually taken over our inner cities. Now please don’t talk to me about the gang’s civil rights when the civil rights of millions of city dwellers have already been taken away by the gangs.

New Mexican ‘revolución’ crosses border, infects U.S.

In the 18 months since President Felipe Calderon took office vowing to defeat the cartels, the Mexican army, increasingly equipped with modern American-made arms, vehicles and communication, has been deployed across the country in a running battle against the cartels. The death toll is rising. The cartels have executed more than 4,000 people: judges, police chiefs and officers, mayors, military commanders and rival gang members, in a continuing battle over control of territory, particularly in the states of Chihuahua, Sinaloa and Durango. Portions of the Mexican army have been compromised, and many Mexican soldiers are now cartel enforcers.

The danger now is that revenue from smuggling is so great that cartels can not only bribe officials to get their way, but they can permanently buy off (or kill off) key army, government, political and media figures, rendering Mexico a state dominated by the cartels. Things can get much worse in Mexico than they are today. And that means, things can get much worse for America, too. President Calderon deserves U.S. support as he fights the smuggling cartels for control of Mexico

Those who rant about the war in Iraq might consider the domestic war in the U.S. It is far more destructive.

War on 2 fronts: Abroad … and at home

Eminent historians Will and Ariel Durant said, “The family is the nucleus of civilization.” As bad as the Iraq war and its costs are, the battles here on our own soil are worse. And costlier.

We’d better call for an all-out “surge” in this domestic war, while we still have the resources, courage – and liberty – to do it.

There is so much money in drugs going to the U.S. that even government not already corrupted by the money cannot cope with the gangsters. Over tens thousands people die in drug wars and by drug overdoses in Mexico and the United States each year.

More U.S. citizens die because of drug users then die in Iraq but where are the liberals on this issue? Drugs have led to government corruption and is leading to a police state yet demented users think that doing drugs is harmless. If there were no users these things would not be happening. Therefore, if you use illegal drugs you are also guilty of murder.

Many of the same people who make the most noise about U.S. foreign wars are the same ones that bring murder and tyranny through their immoral drug use. What percentage of the rich and famous that are always whining about Iraq and George Bush use drugs and bring this death to the land? They ought to learn the meaning of the word hypocrite!

All who use illegal drugs are honorary members of the Demented, Delusional or Dumb Club.

Drug tyranny on the border - Washington Post- msnbc.com

More than 20,000 Mexican troops and federal police are engaged in a multi-front war with the private armies of rival drug lords, a conflict that is being waged most fiercely along the 2,000-mile length of the U.S.-Mexico border. The proximity of the violence has drawn in the Bush administration, which has proposed a $500 million annual aid package to help President Felipe Calderón combat what a Government Accountability Office report estimates is Mexico’s $23 billion a year drug trade.

Joseph Farah informs us about the unelected elite power brokers that are really running the world. Groups like the one spoken about here shape world policy. There is a facade of democracy in the West but make no mistake about it, few national elected officials will have the support to reach high office if they do not help implement the plans that come out of these elitist meetings.

clipped from www.worldnetdaily.com The phony ideas of global warming and poverty eradication, two “crises” devised as rationalizations for endless wealth redistribution schemes, will be on the agenda this week in Switzerland. And make no mistake about it: Davos meetings are about planning actions – far from the prying eyes of the annoying constituents who actually empower these masters of the universe. Here’s how it works, according to an actual statement from the group: “Through a series of boardroom-style roundtable discussions, the World Economic Brainstorming (WEB) will identify the most pressing threat to growth and then engage participants in a facilitated group discussion to prioritize a plan of action using an electronic voting system.” Voting? How do you feel about a group of ad hoc global gangsters voting on your future? How do you feel about these self-anointed power brokers plotting how to save the world from the latest crisis they actually created?

LA Weekly - News - L.A. Gangs: Nine Miles and Spreading - Peter Landesman - The Essential Online Resource for Los Angeles: “L.A. Gangs: Nine Miles and Spreading
More codeless, arbitrary and brutal than ever… and coming to a neighborhood near you”

Lawless gangs are more a threat to America than terrorists. So why does America put up with this lawlessness? If America cannot figure out how to stop inner city and drug gangs it will not have to worry about external threats, because we will soon be Iraq.

Florida ’shoot first’ law helps gangsters - Telegraph: “The new law extended the so-called “castle doctrine”, which allowed residents to shoot would-be burglars, to outside the home with the intention of giving legal protection to victims who opened fire during hold-ups or car jackings. At least 15 more states have passed similar laws while others are considering doing so. But an unintended consequence of the law has been that those arrested after gangland shoot-outs have a ready-made defence and prosecutors are often reluctant to recommend charges. “

The problem is the gangs not the gun laws that allow people to protest themselves and their families from these scum. If gang bangers are shooting each other that is really part of the solution not the problem.

If gang member claim self defense when they shoot innocent people because of this law so what? That is why we have a justice system. The truth will come out and their fate will be decided by a Jury.

This law does not make gang bangers any more likely to have weapons. They will get weapons with or without gun laws. The reason police are being shot at is because gangs are gaining more control of our cities, it is not because of this law. It is a stupid apples and oranges argument. The law has nothing to do with the police shootings. Taking guns away from law abiding people is not going to stop the gangs it will only give criminals free reign.

If you really want to stop gang violence stop the gangs. They are a grave danger to America just like terrorists and they should be dealt with in the same fashion. If you need me to tell you how to do that, you are probably part of the problem.

WorldNetDaily: Blacks buy into ‘values’ agenda: “A major survey of black American attitudes just released by the Pew Research Center gives reasons for both sobriety and encouragement. “

This article has a good set of statistics that you don’t hear every day. From what I see blacks may finally be figuring out that they are now their own worst enemy. Now they need to do more about it starting with gangs, drugs and other crime. There are many great black people in this country but unfortunately the black community in the inner cities have left the ungodly criminals run the streets. They need to take back their streets and see to it that their kids are brought up to function in main stream society and not to be part of a criminal amoral negative counter culture. Positive role models like Cosby, Foreman, Star Parker and many others should get the highest praise from people of all skin tones

WorldNetDaily: Battle-scarred ’sub’ in L.A. barrios speaks out: “To make ends meet during hard economic times, I became a ’substitute teacher’ for the Los Angeles Unified School District, or LAUSD – or to put it more kindly, a ‘guest teacher.’ As a guest LAUSD teacher I thought I would be an asset, but the system has never appreciated nor taken advantage of my educational or professional hard-earned accomplishments. There’s no teaching going on at LAUSD – only confinement of the sort one may find in a penal colony, complete with walkie-talkie-carrying wardens and bullhorns. And I have ‘confined’ at many different schools within central Los Angeles in the last six months. Many students scream ‘suuuuuuuub‘ when they see someone like me – a ‘guest teacher’ – in their classroom and trample anyone and/or anything as they push and shove their way inside. “

The inmates have taken over the asylum. Society is nuts to let this happen in our schools and it is nuts to tolerate gangs in our cities. Don’t you think this permissive social experiment has gone far enough and that it is time to return to the sanity of discipline?

Lawmen under siege along Mexico border - - The Washington Times, America’s Newspaper: “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the investigative arm of Homeland Security, stated in a report earlier this year that border gangs were becoming increasingly ruthless — targeting rivals, along with federal, state and local police. ICE described violence on the border as rising dramatically over the past three years in what it called ‘an unprecedented surge.’ But many agents think they are viewed as ‘expendable’ by the managers within Homeland Security and the Border Patrol. They say that while the number of agents overall has increased dramatically over the past year, the actual number of line agents has not seen a corresponding jump.”

All the more reason why we need to get that fence up pronto and give the Border Patrol the arms, equipment and men they need to fight this invasion.

If only ten things were dealt with like I know they should be dealt with, sanity could be restored to America and crime would drop at least 95 percent.

Those ten things are:

1. Stop illegal immigration

2. Drugs

3. Gangs

4. White collar and Internet crimes

5. Pornography and sex perversion

6. Public decency codes restored to like they were in the 50’s for all media and any public display

7. Election reform (term limits, and fund raising reform)

8. Public education reform (Back to basic education like it was before the socialists and perverts took over)

9. A constitutional Bill of rights for parents to raise their children

10. A constitutional Bill of rights for freedom of religious expression in public

How would I deal with crime and perversion? Ruthlessly! Screw the ACLU. Think about the rights of all the victims instead of the rights of the criminal’s, junkies and perverts.

What will Jesus do when He comes? What then should Christian do!

In the Southwest, fixing the fence never ends - USATODAY.com: “Border Patrol agent Shawn Moran acknowledges the barrier has cut the flow of illegal traffic into the USA dramatically, but he also suggests Hunter hasn’t seen his fence lately. In spots along the approximately 75 miles of fence from California to Texas, illegal immigrants and drug runners have gashed the barrier repeatedly, often with saws to make holes big enough to squeeze people through. Keeping the fence repaired has become a constant battle for U.S. Border Patrol and National Guard engineering units, whose work has added an increasingly expensive layer to the cat-and-mouse game between U.S. law enforcement and illegal immigrants. The rising annual maintenance costs — projected to reach $8.3 million a mile by 2016 for more than 62 miles of steel fencing examined by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) — have become a focal point for critics who say the plan to build another 700 miles of fencing will cost too much and won’t be effective as supporters claim.”

If the fence designers are all that incompetent pay me to design the security fence I will fix your problem. I think the reason the fence is being breached is that the politicians are a little too concerned about someone getting hurt or killed trying to get into this country.

Have you people ever heard of electricity, razor wire, land mines etc? Sure some will get killed if they do not heed the warnings but soon most will stop trying. How many are now dying each year on back trails of the deserts and in over loaded trucks and vans because they “are” getting through the border? How many are dying from the drugs and the drug gangs that are coming in? How many will die when terrorists get in and use weapons of mass destruction?

ABC News: Philly’s Top Cop Asks Blacks to Help Patrol
The city’s embattled police chief, acknowledging that police alone cannot quell a run of deadly violence, has called on 10,000 black men to patrol the streets to reduce crime.

“He won’t get anywhere near that number. If he gets 1,000 people, it will be great,” said Heather DeRussy, who leads a local Guardian Angels chapter that has recruited just seven members in the past two years. Given its size, the group focuses on a single north Philadelphia park plagued by prostitution and drug use.
DeRussy lauded Johnson for his effort but said she fears the volunteers will find it dangerous to patrol their home turf.
“In their own neighborhoods, with the ‘Don’t snitch’ mentality, they’re kind of putting themselves in harm’s way, because there are going to be people who disagree with what they’re doing,” DeRussy said.
The men who join Johnson’s program will not carry weapons or make arrests but will instead emphasize conflict resolution,”

The Philly Chief understands that there is a problem but his plan is not going to go far enough to address the problem. At least he is admitting that the city is out of control and the answer is in the men of the city.

First off, you are not going to get sufficient numbers of men unless you get all the churches in the area behind the effort. Next, conflict resolution is not going to stop most crime. The drug and street gangs are not going to be intimidated by men without any enforcement powers.

What the cities need to do is to train citizen volunteer police who have some of the training and most of the enforcement powers of profession police. They should not wear uniforms or the other garb of police officers. They should be identifiable but otherwise look like average Joe citizen. Let the men of the neighborhoods learn who the problems in the neighborhoods are and let them deal with the situation. Gangs and illegal activity should not even be allow on the streets.

Men are going to have to think of this like they were leaders in a tribal village where the elders of the village enforce the rules of the village. Men are going to have to be leaders and role models in their neighborhoods and not tolerate known predators that will eat their young, weak and elderly. Police are going to have to allow the men to have enforcement power in their neighborhoods or this is not going to work.

Will there be some abuses of power? Sure, but there are abuses of power with the professional police as well. One thing is certain, the abuses of any citizen groups will be far less than the abuses by criminals in the inner cities today. When abuses are found they will be held accountable by the professional police and the citizens of the community.

Also the citizen police need to be given recognition, honor, authority and perhaps some perks. Much like deacons and elders get in a church or a top Sargent in the military. Do that in every high crime neighborhood in America and you will solved this problem.

FrontPage Magazine: “The refusal of US authorities to close off illegal crossings of the US-Mexican border and more thoroughly inspect legal crossings has allowed the creation of a millions-strong class of illegal persons in the US. At the same time the open border has provided an incentive for Mexican drug gangs to open up shop south of the border in order to flood the US with narcotics. Drug use is now on the increase in Mexico as well.

With Mexican drug gangs corrupting police and terrorizing Mexicans, they also provide a possible conduit for terrorist infiltration of the US. Mexico has long been a way station for “OTMs”—Other Than Mexicans—intending to sneak into the US. The human smuggling business is intrinsically linked to the drug smuggling business. With narco-terrorists borrowing a page from al-Qaeda’s playbook—videotaping executions and beheading their victims, there is little reason to think they would hesitate at assisting Islamist terrorists—if the price was right.”

If Mexico is not cleaned up and illegal border crossings stopped, terrorism will become common place in the US. Not just from Islamics but also from Mexican drug gangs that already control some of our inner cities.

The Horror! The Horror! The fascists are coming! Or rather, they’re already here, installed in the White House, planning like mad to subvert the Constitution and extend their reign in perpetuity, having first suppressed and eviscerated all opposition and put all of their critics in jail. Thus goes the rant of America’s increasingly unhinged left. If only, sigh many Bush partisans, wondering when this administration will get out of the fetal position and show some fighting spirit. To them, as to most reasonable observers, the White House shows the chronic fatigue of a two-term presidency reaching its final year. Nonetheless, paranoia about what Bush and Co. are up to preys on the minds of many progressives, who have progressed, in this case at least, beyond reason.

You also hear the same rhetoric coming from some on the Right. I have been hearing this stuff since the days of Richard Nixon. I suppose if we elect Ron Paul some will find that he is is really a plant of the Moose Lodge or the Alien Reptilians. Frankly there are a lot of people out there who are on drugs or else need to be on drugs or an increased dose.

Fascism might come one day but it will only come when the American people want it to come. When Americans are willing to give up all their freedoms for security it will evolve into fascism.

For that to happen there will first have to a major threat to America’s security. That probably can only happen if we let terrorists invade our country and let criminal gangsters take over our cities and let perverts set our moral standards.

Yeah, I know we have already let that happen. So come to think of it, maybe fascism is right around the corner. But don’t blame George Bush, blame yourself for electing the people you do to office who do not enforce our laws. When fascism really comes it most likely will not come by George Bush’s secret Skull and Cross Bones Society it more likely will come in under the Far Left side of Hillary’s skirt.

WorldNetDaily: A call for black vigilantism
Police authorities often know who are the local criminals and drug lords and where crack houses are located; however, various legal technicalities hamper their ability to make arrests and raids. Law-abiding citizens are often afraid to assist police or testify against criminals for fear of retaliation that can include murder. The level of criminal activity not only puts residents in physical jeopardy but also represents a heavy tax on people least able to bear it. That heavy tax includes higher prices for goods and services and fewer shopping opportunities because supermarkets and other large retailers are reluctant to bear the costs of doing business in high-crime areas.
So here’s the question: Should black people accept government’s dereliction of its first basic function, that of providing protection? My answer is no. One of our basic rights is the right to defend oneself against predators. If the government can’t or won’t protect people, people have a right to protect themselves.
You say, “Hey, Williams, you’re not talking about vigilantism, are you?” Yes, I am. Webster’s Dictionary defines vigilantism as: a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime summarily as when the processes of law are viewed as inadequate.

I agree and I wrote about it on this blog. I would not limit it to just black areas. People everywhere need to take their cities back from the gangs and the thugs. If police cannot or will not do it then local action committees need to.

Liberal States Engaging in Anarchy For Illegals - Sher Zieve - Aug 18, 07: “Showing once again that the will of the American people and the laws of the United States of America mean less than nothing to them, liberals and leftists have found a viable way to accomplish their continuing planned destruction of America - without the pesky practice of including the voting electorate. They have declared and established “sanctuary cities”, where the rule of law is no longer practiced or even encouraged. In fact, if certain laws are followed, said law-followers are subject to firing - if not arrest. New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Cambridge, Baltimore and a growing number of other liberal and leftist-run cities have now been joined by the defiant pro-illegals faction in New Haven, Connecticut. And no one from the federal government appears to be doing anything - whatsoever - about these growing lawless and anarchistic hordes. In fact, as many members of the current administration seem to strongly support the illegals’ position, it is the illegals - not US citizens - who are given special considerations to not be required to uphold the laws of this country. “

I have a great solution. Kick these cities and the few states out of the Union. Let these cities and states fend for themselves. They can start a new Union and call it Mexasodom. Just think how much money conservatives in core America would save. There main contribution to America is now perversion, harboring criminals, gangs, drugs, crime, and expecting a free lunch.

FrontPage Magazine: “To say that the attempt to Talibanize Iraq would not be happening at all if coalition forces were not present is to make two unsafe assumptions and one possibly suicidal one. The first assumption is that the vultures would never have gathered to feast on the decaying cadaver of the Saddamist state, a state that was in a process of implosion well before 2003. All our experience of countries like Somalia and Sudan, and indeed of Afghanistan, argues that such an assumption is idiotic. It is in the absence of international attention that such nightmarish abnormalities flourish.

The second assumption is that the harder we fight them, the more such cancers metastasize. This appears to be contradicted by all the experience of Iraq. Fallujah or Baqubah might already have become the centers of an ultra-Taliban ministate, as they at one time threatened to do, whereas now not only have thousands of AQM goons been killed but local opinion appears to have shifted decisively against them and their methods.

The third assumption, deriving from the first two, would be that if coalition forces withdrew, the AQM gangsters would lose their raison d’être and have nothing left to fight for. I think I shall just leave that assumption lying where it belongs: on the damp floor of whatever asylum it is where foolish and wishful opinions find their eventual home.”

‘Enough is Enough’: While Washington Vacations, a War Rages Here at Home - HUMAN EVENTS: “The President should call Congress back into special session for three days to pass a single, decisive bill. It should be called the ‘Terrance Aeriel, Dashon Harvey, Iofemi Hightower Act’ in honor of the three young students who lost their lives due to their government’s failure to protect them. We need a special session because, as the Newark Mayor said, ‘enough is enough.’ Either Congress will pass a bill to establish a new system for winning the war here at home and protecting Americans from criminal illegal aliens or Congress will fail to act and we would know we need a new Congress. Either way, enough is enough. The President, too, ought to be furious at the failure of bureaucracies to protect the American people”

I agree but it has to go even future than illegal aliens in our country. We have to dismantle all the gangs in our cities. Enough is enough. It will be a war but it is already.
