The following is the text of an article that was pubished under my by-line at www.etherzone.com. I firmly believe that these coming national electinons will be the last ones held in this country. Martial law will be declared in 2011. The country will break up after that.

BLACK HELICOPTERS?

NO - SWAT TEAMS!



Rusian emigres, during the Cold War, would tell Americans that the Soviet authorities had their people convinced that the West was about to invade. It?s a time-honored technique to control the masses. Convince them that their only hope is with the government to get them to rally around it and, even what is more important, to obey it.

In the case of socialist countries, they have a double-barreled weapon for dependency. Not only must government protect the people from outsiders and terrorists within, but also the government is their sustenance also.

I once read an article in National Review about life in the Soviet Union. The author told of an overheard conversation in a Moscow caf?.

These two men were talking, exchanging news, gossip if you will, when the subject of a third man came up. One of them said, something to the effect of, oh that one. He went to work for, you know, the Party. He meant the Communist Party. The last phrase was said low, almost as if it were a matter of shame for the guy.

Those two stories have stuck with me for years. I think they are examples of a common situation that we have here today in The United States of America.

Ever since 9/11, it seems that not a month goes by without some kind a terror alert. There have been several where Homeland Security has emphatically stated that they?ve uncovered compelling evidence that an al Qaeda attack is about to happen. Of course, it never does.

Anyone who?s gone through airport security has seen the signs proclaiming the alert level. I don?t even pay any attention to it anymore. Red, orange, yellow? Does anyone really believe it? Of course, it?s a humiliating process and designed to be so. Nothing satisfies government more than humiliating its subjects.

In the United States now, we have a situation where the government is the employer of last resort. Washington, D.C. is hardly the city of the tough-minded survivors they?d want us to believe.

When Vince Foster was found dead of an apparent suicide, all the Washington pundits hopped on that bandwagon. It was self-congratulatory because it implied that they themselves who survive, are tough.

No, Washington is a town awash with rejects, flunkies and ne-er do wells. It?s akin to the absent guy in that Moscow caf?. You can?t succeed? No worry. Just go to work for the government. If you?re especially bad, go to work in security. Two parallels to the Soviet Union.

I think that America is a dying country. I?ve been saying for years that the country will fall apart sometime in 2011. I?m sticking with that prediction unless Ron Paul is sworn in on January 20, 2009.

I believe that 2008 will be the last free elections in this country and government at all levels is preparing for it. The signs are everywhere.

S.W.A.T. teams are proliferating. I doubt that there is a metropolitan area of more than 250,000 that doesn?t have one. Last time I read, more than forty federal agencies have them. Any television cop show will have episodes where they are used. Evening news programs are awash with them. They look ridiculous in their gas masks, small stepping in unison with their automatic weapons at their shoulders but they are actually in trial runs for something potentially far bigger.

It should give everyone pause to realize that much of their training is in military installations and that more and more of their equipment is being supplied by the federal government. Does anyone ask himself why? I do.

It should be obvious. The federal government is preparing for martial law.

They are aware of the rising tide of resentment for government, at all levels, in this country. Posse Comitatus has been shown to be defunct by Waco. That was a test. As obviously illegal as it was, Janet Reno was never prosecuted for her crimes. Those bureaucrats in Washington and elsewhere can operate with the confidence that they never will be either.

They are also aware of the burgeoning militia movements across the county. Michigan, Montana, Idaho, and Oregon all have significant militias who train regularly and perform well. This frightens the feds.

Although there are military bases in every state, they are often far from major population centers where uprisings are likeliest to occur. What better way than to have local police equipped and trained to do the dirty work until the reinforcements can arrive?

It has all been under discussion for years in Washington, and elsewhere. In the bowels of numerous bureaucracies, contingency plans have been put into place for years. S.W.A.T. teams and the National Guards are important part. The Guards have all had significant federal funding since a reorganization act more than one hundred years ago. The states fell for this siren?s song as have the people themselves.

The most recent example concerns Ed and Elaine Brown in Plainfield, New Hampshire. The Browns holed themselves up in their home after having been convicted of income tax evasion and sentenced to 63 months in prison. Ed Brown swore that if the federal marshalls tried to arrest them there would be violence.


During the standoff, there were military personnel, S.W.A.T. teams, various federal agents and local police galore. The standoff just ended after months.

During the standoff, numerous people materialized to give them support with food or clothing. Many of them were arrested and will be charges under ?aiding and abetting? clauses. It ended by the marshals gaining access to their home by representing themselves as friends who wished to help them. In other words they lied yet there will be no charges against them, including U.S. Marshall Stephen Mornier who coordinated the entire affair. In a post arrest interview, Mornier was quoted as saying that it was good that it ended without violence. Yes it was good because the feds don?t want another embarrassment like Ruby Ridge or Waco. Like all gangsters, they prefer to operate out of the limelight.

No one should take solace in that statement. There should be not a shred of doubt that every one of those people who surrounded that house would have opened fire upon an order, an order that would have been given without reservation by Mornier himself had he felt it necessary and eventually, he would have.

The final piece of this falls into place with another article in National Review quite a few years ago. It was a review of a book about like in the Soviet Union, I think. The title of the review was, ?The People As Enemy of the People.? The gist of the review was how in the Soviet Union, the people themselves became the greatest enemies of the state, filling their prisons and Gulags.

Do we not have an entirely analogous situation here, right now? I have repeatedly read that we now have more people imprisoned in this country than Red China, more people absolutely and relatively than at any time during the existence of the Soviet Union and more than at any time in Germany under National Socialism.

The overwhelming majority of them are for drug crimes, especially petty possession, tax evasion, prostitution, and gambling, classic victimless crimes all. We have now turned a corner where the people of this country are the enemies of the state just as the Soviet Union, etc. were.

In American today, people like the Browns draw 63 month sentences for tax evasion, while vehicular manslaughter routinely draws three to five years. Under Josip Stalin, a person who took some grain from the common harvest for personal and family use was executed while murder, rape and common theft were treated much more lightly. The parallels cannot be ignored any longer.

The government of The United States of America is planning for martial law.

Alot of this is frighteningly true in my opinion... I start to think about this and get mad and then at the same time start to look over my shoulder to make sure no one is watching me read chit like this.... (Of course I just copy and posted it and my ip address is probably added to some basement super computer gov thing...)

I would really like to hear your guys' thoughts on this and militias and is the Gov or has the Gov destroyed the economy on purpose to further gain control? I mean now they are running banks in a way, the DEA and the Drug War; the scaring now of physicians and jailing them for prescribing OXY CONTIN to people who need it or at least scaring them enough and hassling them enough that patients cant get what they need for instance... And that thing about SWAT teams is true... And how Russia looked in the communist years is starting to look like here!!!! This has really irked me and I now am gonna start poking around to see what else is really going on and maybe even start publicly asking, "Hey, what the fuck are you doing? Where are my rights? Why is my money now traceable? And why in Utah does EVERYONE in the next 2 years I think have to have A SCANABLE ID CARD or drivers license to go into a BAR? What list will I be on now? Oh he's a drinker, he may question us when buzzed.... Or whatever....

Please post soome thoughts on this and articles of interest of how are rights are going out the window and we really are "NUMB AND DUMB" as a whole letting the gov slowly take all control..... And what really worries me is...... FOR WHAT AND WHY IN THE FUTURE? Will there be on gov as a whole? And wtf is going on with CHINA and US? We owe them a pretty penny and I think they will be collecting on that soon + juice of course.... What backroom deal have we made with them? And why dont we hear anything about the trillions we owe them? And why do they keep giving us money knowing we cant pay it back and Im sure they know we dont intend to!!!

I hope I dont get in trouble.... So BIG BROTHER, Im just curious and thats why I ask.... I am not not starting chit against this "hostile, not so subtle anymore governement", :0corn :0corn :scared :scared :0corn :0corn

Wouldn't have been great if the government had been monitoring the home mortage situation with the fierceness that the DEA monitors those opiate rx's? Maybe our entire economy wouldn't be in the toilet right now. Look at how much suffering that has caused people.

CREEPING PRIVACY THREAT
CONTROL IS THE OBJECTIVE

By: Geoff Metcalf

"Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them;"
-- Frederick Douglas

The routine incremental invasion of privacy by the government continues. For years some of us have been warning about the catch-22 danger of various government ID plans. The big boogie man threat is a fear of eventual mandates for everyone to be issued sub dermal biochip implants. Not yet?it?s too early to try for that brass ring.

However, prior to ?Big Brother? being able to realize ubiquitous and omniscient control as the objective, we the people have to be conditioned to acceptance and various incremental steps must be introduced, mandated and accepted.

The common mantra of privacy usurpers is "If you don?t have anything to hide, what are you worried about?" The collorary being, if you DO have concerns about government?s all seeing eye targeting you for monitoring and tracking, you must be engaged in something nefarious. After all, they are from the government and they are here to help you. Right?

Introducing the Transportation Workers Identification Credential (TWIC) . What the heck is that? According to the TSA, "TWIC is a common identification credential for all personnel requiring unescorted access to secure areas of MTSA-regulated facilities and vessels, and all mariners holding Coast Guard-issued credentials. Individuals who meet TWIC eligibility requirements will be issued a tamper-resistant credential containing the worker's biometric (fingerprint template) to allow for a positive link between the card and the individual."

Congress apparently directed the government to issue this biometric security credential to folks with unescorted access to secure areas and all mariners holding Coast Guard issued credentials or qualification documents. The goal obviously is to improve port security.

I recently heard from a Charter Boat Captain with a Masters certificate from the Coast Guard who has been required to get this new ID. The deadline is near for any and all card carrying merchant marine types and charter boat captains to pay their $132.50, get fingerprinted and ?activated?. Some 1.2 million individuals will apply for a TWIC.

TWIC is more than just another pretty ID card. Pictures and thumbprints are just the ante.

Sure it will be used for visual identity checks. Card holders will have to present their cards to authorized personnel, who will check the photo, inspect security features on the TWIC and look for signs of tampering. But it gets better (and more efficient)?the "Coast Guard will conduct vessel and facility inspections and use hand -held readers during spot checks to ensure credentials are valid and identity is verified. A second rulemaking will establish access control requirements, including the use of electronic readers by certain vessel and facility owners and operators."

I?ve been complaining about sub dermal biochips since 1998. In addition to itching and moaning on the radio about the dangers of implanted biochips I have written tens of thousand words explaining the evisceration of the very concept of privacy. "Privacy?the very concept of privacy?becomes an anachronism".

There is a long list of alleged ?benefits? of enhanced ID cards and biochip implants. And like the list of ?benefits? Freud touted for heroin and cocaine, they are wrong.

Implanted biochips can help locate downed pilots, kidnapped children and escaped prisoners. They can also track political adversaries and target location and movements, and function as a virtual ?lojack? for people.

The Incrementalism finesse starts by mandating biochips for specific publics. First they implant prisoners, then high value military assets, then the entire military, then government workers, then anyone receiving government money?

Eventually, when more people have implants than don?t?they no longer are ?voluntary? but mandatory. THEN, the unelected, unaccountable bureaucrat class has total control.

Incrementalism, unintended (or intended) consequences, abuse of power under the color of authority, metastasizes into a cancer that eats at the very essence of freedom and liberty. That is a very bad thing!

Scott McDonald of the Website Scan This News has warned: "All movement, transactions, and interactions can be recorded and monitored once everyone has their own unique identifier. Every detail of a person?s life will be finally accessible to authorities through the widespread use of implanted chips."

The key goal and objective of the tyrant is to CONTROL. Whether it is gun control, smoker control, tax control, or control of the ability to freely move, control is the objective.

Border Agents Can Search Laptops W/Out Cause
Published on Wednesday, April 23, 2008.
Source: Wired

"Federal agents at the border do not need any reason to search through travelers' laptops, cell phones or digital cameras for evidence of crimes, a federal appeals court ruled Monday, extending the government's power to look through belongings like suitcases at the border to electronics.
The unanimous three-judge decision reverses a lower court finding that digital devices were "an extension of our own memory" and thus too personal to allow the government to search them without cause. Instead, the earlier ruling said, Customs agents would need some reasonable and articulable suspicion a crime had occurred in order to search a traveler's laptop.

On appeal, the government argued that was too high a standard, infringing upon its right to keep the country safe and enforce laws. Civil rights groups, joined by business traveler groups, weighed in, defending the lower court ruling.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the government, finding that the so-called border exception to the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable searches applied not just to suitcases and papers, but also to electronics.

The ruling (.pdf) came in a case where customs agents searched the laptop of Michael Arnold who was returning from the Philippines. They found images they believed to be child pornography, seized the laptop and later arrested him. While the lower court ruling excluded from trial the pictures of young boys the government says it found on the hard drive, they now can be used again.

The panel chose to follow the reasoning of a similar case from the 4th Circuit, known as Ickes (.pdf), which held that the government did not need any reason to search a vehicle crossing the border.

The 9th's ruling did not, however, clarify whether a traveler has to help the government search his computer, by providing the login information, or what would happen when the government decided to search a laptop with encrypted data on the drive. The defendant in the case can appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the Court is unlikely to take up an issue that two separate appeals courts have agreed upon.

In the meantime, travelers should be aware that anything on their mobile devices can be searched by government agents, who may also seize the devices and keep them for weeks or months. When in doubt, think about whether online storage or encryption might be tools you should use to prevent the feds from rummaging through your journal, your company's confidential business plans."

Whoa - let's not blame this all on the government - last time I looked, nobody forced people to take loans they couldn't pay back. Nobody forced people to speculate on real estate because "it has nowhere to go but up!"...

There are a lot of villiians here - but the biggest is greed - on the part of the lenders for making money on people that couldn't hope to pay it back and the part of the people for buying houses that were way more than they could realistically afford....

No winners here - all losers. But short of the government dictating how big of a mortgage and house, we could buy, I don't know what we could have done.

And we have way too much government the way it is - and it is about to get much bigger, thank you Mr. Obama. I do feel sorry for our kids - they will be paying for these huge deficits that will get much larger the next 8 years throughout their lifetimes....

agree with much of this,mags...but the gov`t pretty much forced lenders to loan to folks..with legislation going all the way back to jimmy carter`s community reinvestment act in 1977 to freddie and fannie today....

you don`t want to loan to people that have no bidness getting a mortgage loan?....see you in court...

excellent post,bud..

btw...this probably belongs in political...

deficit spending is promoted as economic stimulus but the only real stimulus is to dc, the pols and the parasites who lobby there. look around dc, it fattens like a tick while the rest of america, the earners, the taxpayers, suffers. but since the media side with the pols, being a branch of government themselves in all but name, the nature of the scam is concealed from the suckers or tax-slaves.

we dont need a central govt. all it does is start wars and subsidize the pathologically undesirable whether jew billionaires at AIG on the high end, or fuliginous miscreants on the low.
