If all you’ve got is a hammer, then everything starts to look like a nail. And if police and prosecutors are your only tool, sooner or later everything and everyone will be treated as criminal. This is increasingly the American way of life, a path that involves “solving” social problems (and even some non-problems) by throwing cops at them, with generally disastrous results. Wall-to-wall criminal law encroaches ever more on everyday life as police power is applied in ways that would have been unthinkable just a generation ago. Full Article

In South Africa, the Afrikaans used the registration system to keep all “colored” people in subjegation. Apartheid collapsed only through the added pressure from outside that country. Segregation laws only ended from pressure from outside the southern states, the power of the federal government. We have the federal government against us. The courts, are they going to bring justice? Or have they bought into the penaltopia that is now the US? Do we have any allies? This article suggests that we might.
You know that analogy with the frog who they put in a pot of room temperature water on a stove…then they slowly increase the temperature ever so slightly…the frog doesn’t notice it…the from slowly cooks to death never realizing what has happened.
The same thing is happening to the American people (and world populations as a whole)…civil liberties are slowly being modified and/or eliminated. More surveillance is added…check points…new intrusions into personal information and liberties…slowly over time.
Until this is the new norm. Only those who can remember the past will know what was lost! Let’s stop this before (or is it already) too late!
Tim;
Seems as if the US is in reverse, declining in all areas instead of progressing. Perhaps if other countries instituted sanctions against this country, like we do to theirs, that could bring outside pressure, but the US gov’t is so cocky, so pompous, that no outside pressure would effect a change to any system in place here. A few strong, brave and justice minded people are slowly making little changes; CARSOL is a part of that. It’s almost like RSO’s are the class that is now kept in subjegaction and unfortunately, that class is growing way too fast.
No kidding! And they do not even try to hide it or look like they feel bad about it, and the sheeple applaud.
Read this story from just last week and watch the full, uncut news feed on youtube (easily found by searching for LAPD, corvette, etc). If you can stomach an unarmed man being shot to death, in the back (murdered?), in the middle of the street, on live TV like it is the most normal thing in the world. OMG!
