When Does the Deep State Morph into the Police State in Our Country?
americanthinker.com ^ | 7/6/2019 | K.S. Guardiola

I recently watched a German-made political movie, The Lives of Others, which was released back in 2006. Every American should take the opportunity to watch this movie, for it portrayed the destructive consequences for the people and a society living under what was formally an all-powerful East German police state.

The East German state police agency, the Stasi, was granted virtually unlimited power to monitor and spy on the lives of their citizens with the objective of maintaining absolute control over all aspects of the personal and professional lives of its people. The Stasi was renowned for being highly proficient and effective in its ability to subjugate East Germany's citizens.

This movie is a warning to Americans about the dire consequences of increasing the powers of the state. Too many Americans take for granted the continued blessings of our great American system, instituted by the Founding Fathers, based on the premise that man can rule himself.

Also look for the Hollywood Propaganda movie The Mortal Storm, made to ready Americans for WWII back when Hollywood was on our side.

You can find it occasionally on TCM.

It hasn’t already? Certainly felt that way the last concert I attended, the last notice I rep’d from the IRS and the last airport terminal I entered.

Now people voluntarily inform on themselves to the new Stasi: Facebook, Twitter, etc.

If and when the Dems would take over the Senate and the presidency.

But we can prevent it.

So far, laws still apply.

VOTE and be sure every sane person you know also gets out and votes.

Your computer/cell phone is observant.

Its master corporation is recording carefully.

Does Big Brother have spare millions?

Boy, I don’t know. Seems to me the more immediate problem is the lack of exercising authority. The cops stand by while the mobs go wild.

It already has, and I don’t think less of those who don’t see the storm clouds. The propaganda is thick and hard to avoid.

It doesn't stop here, it is the whole State of California. California is the beginning of a Nazi like crazy club of insane.

Already here, in some areas.

When democrats get into power, they take away rights. Remember how quickly they passed a law to arrest nursing home personnel for not using the “right” pronouns? That will be expanded in the years to come.

You already can be arrested for writing on a piece of paper “It’s OK to be White.”

Trump needs to send troops in and arrest leaders of these sanctuary cities while an army of deplorables shuts down their propaganda networks.

Military tribunals for deep staters and of current and former political office holders who have supported this coup.

Mop up and MAGA.

We already live in a police state. POTUS and his supporters are assaulted on a daily basis by the organs of government. The “Trump” DOJ sent more agents to get Roger Stone than the Navy sent SEALs to get Bin Laden. This happened in Florida and Roger Stone is a constituent of Marco Rubio. And did our duly elected United States Senator Little Marco Rubio say a word about these outrageous police state tactics in his state? Nope.
