This is an part of an ongoing effort to control the internet as a source of revenue. Ultra conservatives who think they are compelled to force a pre-determined future and liberals who want to tax everything so they can give it away to buy votes are closing the gap of freedom and turning us into a nazi (not necessarily Hitler-style) nation.
They despise free will and true diversity. Their aim is to
homogonize the population, disarm the population and
propagandize the population into a Euro-style nation.
This is being done at local levels by entering into partnerships with bordering towns in health districts, permit offices and other assorted entities. These towns are adjacent to larger cities with their problems who within 50 years will want to annex the smaller combines and take the tax revenue and expand city housing to the suburbs and rural areas. Already oldtimers many are selling out while they can.
With the nazi-style use of eminent domain the government chooses which business will succeeed and which will fail, meaning less choice - more 'government/favored business' monopolies.
And that's the true spirit of the nazi's -
Note the ongoing war against the American Indians and tobacco companies direct internet sales over taxes.
Note the restrictive change of rules for day traders which killed any opportunity for a fast profit. What would take weeks now has stretched into 10-20 years. Old money and old power rules the day.
The only people they can't control are the terrorists because they are armed, somewhat unexposed if not for their venture into technology and protected by governments that control their populations.
Because they can't handle them in short order, they are slowling eating away at our freedoms or they don't want to beat them fast in order to buy time to attack our freedoms.
The only ones of us who will be able to survive in comfort are those who made their money early.
None of the politicians is trustworthy and the population
is apathetic to force a ballot box revolution.
If what has been in the news about a Canada-USA-Mexico
merger us true as well, we're dead ducks again.
Evey soldier who ever died for this country will have died in vain.
I don't think I'll live long enough to see the worst to come but your kids will.
Me thinks you are right ... the monster of Big Government demands to be fed.
Utterly depressing and utterly true.
