The federal government has never really explained its need for something approaching a half a billion handgun bullets that could only be used for domestic policing. Why is it that agencies like the Department of Interior and the Bureau of Land Management, as well as the Department of Agriculture, have heavily armed military-style SWAT teams?

People need to get to know their local cops. I stood out in the alley the other day and chatted with the Sheriff’s deputy for 20 minutes the other day.

Its a lot harder to abuse people you know and are otherwise friendly with.

The authority and standing of the local authorities has been irreparably compromised.

I don’t know what it will take to restore that.

Law abiding citizens are, for all intents and purposes, on their own.

Police are a soft target in this whole thing. First it was the schools, then churches and churchgoing Americans were targeted... it goes on and on.

This is how you dismantle your society ...the bloodless coup we all anticipated.

So the most violent demographic in America is the one that hates cops the most. This does not surprise me. What surprises me is their constant tanturms are taken seriously.

In the last 24 years name one time a Clinton was running for president or planning on running for president that civil unrest based on “Police Misconduct” wasn’t planned or orchestrated.

The president already told us why. We don’t listen. Our enemies tell us exactly what they are planning. The president wants a federal police force.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008
They don’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps that we deserve) defense. The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.

I think of it as the NatCCC, or more simply, as the NatCs...

Obama told us he wants a federal domestic military force at least as powerful large and well equipped as our regular military forces army navy marines and USAF etc. like Stasi, like hitler. Like Stalin. Like Mao. He told us very clearly and so now he’s trying to deliver on this -— if he gets away with this outrage, he will deliver on get one more promise - to stay in Washington and keep working to transform America. Hell hitler! Allah Achkbar!

The national media want a national police.

The effect of a national media controlling the public square is much more significant than anyone realizes.

Okay, it is a multi part plan.
First step was to alter police culture into an “us vs them” mentality.
Next was to militarize them.
Concurrently was this push to idolize and worship criminals.
Revolving door justice etc adds frustration to police work.
Let simmer for a couple years, then sensationalize criminals getting their due.
(While similarly downplaying actual cases of misconduct, this muddies the water and prevents any actual reformation from happening.)

Now, push for federal takeover of the police.
Guess where we are at?
You guessed it, the push to have a federal police force over every town.
As if that would be any better.

But I get told often “we don’t live in Mayberry, and this isn’t the 50’s”, my response to that is “Why not?”
It wasn’t all that long ago that one could talk to the local police as if they were human, and they didn’t try to make up charges “just because”.
[Yes, for some of you out there, that does happen. Look up “Wallkill NY PD watchdog” to see what happens when a PD becomes a danger to the community..in NY. Also, Sussex NJ PD got shut down due to widespread corruption. Involving evidence in the evidence locker.]

Because 0 wants a national police force. In order to get there, he and the media have to paint local forces as evil and racist.

It also increases the potential, in the worst of circumstances, of despotic or oppressive actions.


Federalizing all law enforcement isn’t an end goal.
It’s a stepping stone to their real agenda.
For the current crop of racists in the gov’t,
that goal includes “getting back at YT”.
They know, though, that there won’t be passive acceptance of this oppression,
so the fedpolice are going to be there to make sure
we don’t defend ourselves.

It’s called creating a need for the “national security force’ that’s “just as well-organized, just as well-funded” as our military.

The only question is, will it be brown, black or
multi-colored shirts.

IMHO

Since the mid-60's, The John Birch Society has been warning about the federalizing of your local police.
