State enforcers or "sturmabteilung" (Storm Troopers)

Remember when the policeman was your friend?  When judges were taking cases on their merits?(Okay, I don’t either)  But that’s what we were told.
Now,  crooks, dopers, citizens, travelers, pedestrians…. Everybody is afraid of or hates (or both) cops of any stripe. 
Cops are shooting unarmed people because they “fear for their lives”.  They shoot  house pets, why?  Because the fear for their lives. 
“I feared for my life” has become the get out of jail card for every instance of police brutality, murder, assault, mayhem. 
A week doesn’t go by without some more cops getting busted in either a sex scandal or dope dealing or stealing, possibly from their own department. 
How many time have you heard a variation of “we have investigated ourselves and find we did nothing wrong”???? IAD means Internal Alibi Division.
The DA and / or the Grand Jury decide NOT to prosecute.
And the judges rubber stamp whatever is best for the current administration. 
After all, they all work for the same corporation.  Their checks come from the same place. 
Grand juries are “instructed” in the law and the procedures they must follow.  No wiggle room, after all they might come to a different conclusion.
Many police are good men trapped by a system they can’t afford to abandon.  Families, homes, cars boats.  All those good things require a paycheck.
So, self-interest has overcome the desire to do good. To keep the peace.  To help people. 
Instead they cooperate with the corporate state in its ongoing attempt to extort revenue from the people they thought to “protect”.  Law after law, statutes unending, regulations, rules handed down from our lords and masters, called “civil servants” or “representatives”. 
Freedom.  Our call sign.  Our motto.  Does NOT exist anymore.  Just look around and you will see that for yourself. 
It exists only in your mind, if you can keep it.

More later.

Letters From Occupied America

April 17
Dear Friends:
          I won't use any names, as you all know who you are.
        I have been thinking of parallels.  In our history and in our new lives here in the "Land  of the Free".
        It occurs to me that, in the time of the Revolution, there were supposedly only 3% of the population actively involved in the  fighting or "sedition". 
        The rest were either "Tories",  or Loyalist, OR they were just interested in living their lives without disturbance. 
         Meaning, they had jobs or businesses to take care of, families they were raising, farms to tend. 
         However they felt about the King and the British ruling them ,  they were not interested in getting involved in rebelling or anything that would endanger their "safe" way of life. 
         The parallel here is that, obviously, we have an identical situation here in Occupied America.  The majority of the population are hard at work earning a living, paying off the mortgage, saving for the college fund, paying for the shiny new pickup or the boat.  
         The rulers haven't  done anything serious  to them, so they don't want to make waves or draw attention to themselves.  
        They are willing to accept what they are told by the Mainstream Media about the state of the world and the country. 
        So, if everything is fine, why make such a fuss about every little violation of their rights?
        This is the situation we find ourselves in. Similar to the Jews in Europe when they decided to just keep their heads down and hope "everything will settle down". 
        Then, when it didn't "settle down", they with either left or boarded the boxcars for their last ride. 
    Think about other parallels and.... Stay tuned.
