The Trouble with a Police State: A “swatting” strategy designed to test the fences

Over the last few years, there have been several times that I thought it was time for a very unpleasant experience involving the police. This started around the time of the lockdowns in Ohio, where I was one of the only people still behaving normally as it looked like road checkpoints might be a genuine concern to keep people off the roads and complying with a corrupt governor’s insane mandates. I lived my life mostly normal generally during the Covid lockdowns, and for a few weeks, it wasn’t clear if, at any moment, there might be some shootout with corrupt forces trying to impose on society a direct violation of the Bill of Rights. I kept playing the mistakes made by the FBI at Ruby Ridge and Waco through my head and considered how I might approach that problem differently. And probably because of the region and the type of people in it, that checkpoint problem never happened, and everyone eventually lived happily ever after. But those same concerns returned on Christmas Day this year as reports of swatting were being reported everywhere, where someone calls the police against a political target and reports that person as being dangerous. It has happened to Steve Bannon on the Warroom several times, Marjorie Taylor Green, and Laura Loomer, and on Christmas morning, it looked like it was happening to me. As my children were coming over to have Christmas at my house, two police vehicles sectioned off my road in front of my house with their noses of their squad cars blocking the road, pointing into traffic, and it looked like that was going to be it. So, figuring that to be the case, since I am on several “political enemy” lists, I did what I did. As it turned out, a few minutes later, they were leaving, which I was not unhappy about. They indicated they were looking for a place to hang out because it was Christmas Day, and they had nowhere else to go. Well, hanging out in front of my house wasn’t a good idea. So we parted ways for that day.

As we get further into 2024, I think this will become a much more prevalent problem as very desperate political characters turn to the police, who serve whatever administration is in power, and use this swatting strategy to harass political opponents.  There have been increased incidents between both Republicans and Democrats of this “swatting” strategy, and they have certainly become more aggressive since the days of Covid, where the apparent problems of a massive police state showed us just how dangerous it is to have too many police on the payroll reporting to corrupt politicians not following the Constitution and honoring our American Bill of Rights.  The Bill of Rights explicitly limits what a government can and cannot do, and for me, there is no compromise, especially regarding the Third, Fourth and Fifth Amendments.  I did a radio show many years ago over this topic on WLW with Darryl Parks about the dangers of the newly written NDAA that Congress passed back then and how the military could be weaponized against the people who were supposed to control it.  I have a pretty good relationship with my local law enforcement.  I will always say that we need law enforcement.  But I am always weary of their power and the tendency to abuse it.  I call it the “mall cop” syndrome.  Even the best-intentioned people can turn into maniacs once they gain the ability to carry a gun and kick in someone’s door for the “safety of society.”  This policy idea that your Bill of Rights is suspended until they determine that you are not a threat is completely wrong as far as I am concerned.  And when someone “swats” you, the assumption is that the police then have a constitutional breaking mandate to violate your rights until they prove to the contrary, which is at the heart of the problem.   

I would go even further and discuss this as a strategy of sheer evil that steps beyond the veil of conscious reality, which is why I have been writing a lot lately about the hostility of the spirit world and those occult practices that seek an alliance with help from the quantum realm.  My interest is in what makes people do bad things and why they think the things they do, especially under a crisis management scenario.  I took the incident on Christmas Day at my house as the raptors testing the fences to see what they could and couldn’t get away with.  But what made them want to try?  Those are the things I spend a lot of time thinking about.  Behind that concern is this push to continuously expand the reach of government with more police with prominent stories that we hear about all the time, where police brutality causes race riots, and it forces society to pick one side or the other.  The Democrats come up with a “defund the police” strategy to decrease police killings of innocent people.  Republicans want to fund more police and “back the blue.”  But the real menace is the political characters, both spiritual and terrestrial, who want to play these forces against each other with the result of getting people screaming for more police protection and submission of their Bill of Rights over to a police state of massive government expansion so that when they do come and arrest you in the middle of the night by kicking down your door and you suddenly have to “prove you are not guilty” before they let you go, you won’t expect anything else.  You’ll want police brutality so that you can be “safe” when the real bad guys are out there causing the trouble to begin with.

This isn’t, after all, a conspiracy strategy; we have seen lawfare applied to President Trump, a former president, so the blueprint is out.  Big governments run by corrupt people expect that they can raid your home, go through your wife’s underwear drawer, and push your face into the ground with your hands behind your back whenever they decide to.  They might apologize later, but they genuinely do intend to embarrass you in front of your friends and neighbors to show that they have domination over you.  They don’t care about the arrest; they care about letting people see how much power they have so that you’ll be ready to submit if they decide to use it.  And when they want to go after political targets, one way to diminish them in the eyes of their followers is to show the world how little power they have.  This is why conservatives have been getting swatted a lot lately.  And I think it will continue to increase as the insanity of the communist left realizes they are losing power and that crimes they have been involved in will now have to be paid for.  While they can, they plan to abuse their power for all its worth.  So we should expect to deal with these things accordingly.  No matter what party you are affiliated with, this is a problem for everyone because it is a strategy of the Deep State that has no respect for the American Constitution, and they intend to cause trouble that we beg for more police so that the police can then become an extension of government power who then give them the right and ability to violate your rights with just a phone call and to take out political enemies so that the state can grow and gain public power as a net result.  We saw during COVID-19 that this is a real problem; the bad guys were testing out what they could and could not get away with regarding massive abuses of authority.  And since then, this swatting strategy has become much more frequent.  And on Christmas Day of 2023, I thought my knowledge of the Constitution would be tested.  Which everyone knows there is no compromise on.  We live in that world, and I advise everyone not to take the bait.  Keep government as minimal as possible, including the amount of local police you have.  Because with just a phone call, they can indeed become your enemy at a moment’s notice.

Dinesh D’Souza’s ‘Police State’: What will you do when there is a knock at the door

I already know the answer to the question asked at the beginning of Dinesh D’Souza’s new movie, Police State, about getting a knock at the door.  History is filled with fools who put up their hands and were taken away peacefully only to be never heard from again.  And we are dealing with criminal thugs of that precise nature.  We’ve seen what they were willing to do to a former President of the United States, and we have witnessed firsthand what has happened to the January 6th prisoners, a set-up job if there ever was one, especially after the ridiculous discussions we have been having over the last decade about the Muslim Brotherhood and Antifa not being designated terrorist organizations.  Then, finding out that angry moms at school board meetings and MAGA supporters are now considered domestic terrorists by this Biden government, which is just a ghost government third term of Obama and his Marxist insurgents appointed by him to “fundamentally transform the country.”  I’ve never been much of a cop person; I wrote several books on the essential abuses of the law enforcement community and how they feed a police state mentality.  The police are a necessary part of a law and order society, but I have always had a very weary eye toward them and the giving to them so much power and armament.  I have employed police officers on several occasions, and I tried to coach them into success in life, but they were a mess as a group of people.  Their wives were over-sexed swingers, and they were players obsessed with the power to pull people over and have them perform sexual acts to get out of traffic tickets, which most of the time, the crying victims would indulge in so that their parents wouldn’t find out that they were speeding and would increase their insurance rates.  I could tell stories about such things for days.  But to say the least, I’ve seen enough to know what I will do when there is an unjustified knock at the door, which is where we are at now during this stolen Biden presidency. 

For the first six months of the Covid lockdowns, I was one of the few cars still on the road.  I never did shelter in place, and I refused to change my life in any way.  I continued as usual, but I was one of the only ones.  I actually left my home expecting a shootout at any time from a police checkpoint, so I’ve been through this scenario many more times than once.  It’s a sad state of affairs, but that’s where we are these days, and the movie Police State by Dinesh D’Souza and Dan Bongino captures it well, as most of D’Souza’s films always do, no matter what their topic is.  These aren’t our friendly neighborhood police anymore; they are unthinking “yes men” (and women) who follow orders because they are too lazy to do otherwise and hungry to abuse their power.  Kicking down doors in the middle of the night or early morning, as they have done to Roger Stone and many other high-profile characters over the last five years or so, to show they can.  How they have treated Peter Navarro, Steve Bannon, General Flynn, and many other people who worked in the previous White House, nothing in this Police State movie should surprise you.  Even Dinesh D’Souza was thrown in jail for a film he did on Obama.  These are socialists in this government, and like all Marxist governments around the world, they all require a police state to enforce their policies and run people through fear to comply with their orders. 

I told lawyers how unconstitutionally unsound the lockdowns were in 2020, and I let Governor DeWine know all about it, and I was proven right in court way before they figured it all out.  And lots of judges and politicians.  Too often, by the time those idiots figure out what the law is, your life could be over with an unlawful search and seizure while you rot in jail.  I wasn’t, or won’t, put up with unreasonable search and seizure violations of the Bill of Rights.  And during that period, I realized that it was a genuine possibility.  Then, after watching Police State, which is easy to see (I’ll put a link on here to make it even easier), it was clear to me that I was likely on just about every watch list that any law enforcement agency could have, and I would never give them the optics of compliance in front of cameras or the courts that they were hoping for.  Under any circumstance, this is a terrible realization.  But it is where we are in 2023 America.  We have a police state born of Marxist insurgents who now control our legal system, and they have made their move and are cautiously poking us, hoping to nudge us into compliance before society snaps and retaliates between election cycles.  I haven’t given up on elections yet.  I believe the Constitution has many means to keep all these Marxist insurgents in check legally.  But knowing they control the legal system the way they do and are more than willing to violate the Constitution for short-term gains of media optics, then going away quietly only means your slow destruction, as we have watched happen to so many people, many of which are given great examples in the movie.  As bad as some of the stories show government abuses, I would say it’s a polite introduction to how bad the situation is.  Dinesh D’Souza is a very nice guy, and even his challenging documentaries show his pleasant personality.  The actual severity is much, much worse.  We have a Police State as bad as anything the world has ever seen.

Police State, the movie was in theaters.  I wanted to see it when it was in my area, but I couldn’t get the time through the week.  So my wife and I ended up streaming it off Rumble.  They have a means to watch it from their website, but I found the Rumble offering to be the best.  Rumble is as easy to buy and watch movies as YouTube, so that’s how I watched it.  It was around $25, which it would have cost if we had seen it at a theater, and I thought it was well worth the price.  It was a first-class documentary with great production values that introduced people to a tricky concept.  We want to like the police.  We need the police.  We need a legal system.  But if we don’t monitor the power we give them, it goes to their heads.  And suppose Marxist insurrectionists start running the law, as they do now in several district attorney regions across the country. In that case, you might find yourself on the wrong end of a knock at the door, which is unacceptable.  But a likely possibility eventually.  The Police State is an accurate movie, and it was captured well in its 2023 form by Dinesh D’Souza.  I would argue that I think Police State is a kid’s film.  But it’s probably just what people need as an introduction to how bad the situation is.  And when a criminal government like the Biden people, who are just the third term of the Obama radicalism creation of the Weather Underground, a peaceful outcome is probably not possible.  Eventually, they are going to cross the line.  If they can control elections, then they do not respect the pick of the people, as we saw when Trump was elected, then they won’t respect them in the future.  They won’t go quietly in the night, and eventually, we should all expect a knock at the door.  And when we do, you better know how you will handle it.  Police State is a good place to start that conversation with yourself.

The Paper Tigers of Liberalism: Should we expect violence before and after the election and what to do about it

Many people are worried about how liberals will react after losing so much in the upcoming midterms. It’s a similar concern that I heard ahead of 2020 when people worried that the reelection of President Trump would lead to riots in the streets, the attack of Trump voters in their homes, and a general collapse of all society. That was until we saw the massive amount of cheating that took place, which put their pick, Joe Biden, the criminal, treasonous malcontent in the White House, through unthinkable scandal. But that was during an unthinkable year where Covid was used to steal the election and have a global insurgency against the trends of populism. We know a lot now that we didn’t then, and speaking from my personal experiences, I think it’s safe to say that we have witnessed the worst that the political left has to offer. Sure, they can still kick and scream and incite riots. But their strategy for everything has been endured, and the concerns that violence will erupt due to a conservative clean sweep is based on a paper tiger villain that falls apart quickly when wet. And as a result of this next election, that will surely be the result. It has been a scary time for everyone. But the bottom line is that much of the bad behavior that we witnessed that has given everyone the anxiety of violence has been illegal. This insurgency of the Biden administration and leftist politics, in general, has violated the American Constitution in favor of new rules written by the Desecrators of Davos under the United Nations. They planned to abandon our Constitution in favor of one written by the United Nations in the future, and in that act, they told us everything we needed to know about how to defend ourselves. 

Speaking truthfully, which is something I have been hesitating to talk about, but it’s been on my mind for two years now, I have expected every day and every hour of those days to be in a shootout with some branch of this insurgent government. Whether they were official officers of the law sent like the FBI to harass Trump patriots or paid off assassins by those forces so as not to have dirt on their hands toward groups known for terrorism and discord. I have expected to be attacked and to have to defend myself at all times. And it has been rough. I’m not Roger Stone or Paul Manafort, public figures who talk tough in public but quickly surrender when authority is applied. I would offer that the abuse of them and others around Trump was carefully selected. The authorities knew these personalities would not fight back when attacked, so they were picked to make an example of them to scare other supporters who were not so inclined. I’m sure the scouting report on me is deep, so I never expected any courtesy of politeness to be applied. When I was up reading at 2 AM in the morning, I was expecting a knock on the door, and I have been quite sure of how I would handle it. For me, the Bill of Rights of our American Constitution is absolute. It’s the agreed-upon laws of our land. There is no compromise with the 4th Amendment, which states: “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” The government cannot invent crises like Covid to bypass these laws. Once that happens once, even if the excuse might have merit, then the law loses its effectiveness, which was obviously the strategy of the global insurgents all along. 

A Great Work of Political Philosophy, and the Word of God as far as America Goes.

During the Covid lockdowns, it was clear to me that the governor was violating the American Constitution, and I did not follow the health director guidelines of the state of Ohio because there was no legal grounding for it. I argued many times with $400 an-hour lawyers in the heat of those times, and I was right about the validity of a state governor overriding the Constitution with emergency powers without the legislature to consider the proposal. And in the end, I was right, as the years in court after that would prove. But it was scary at the time. Even members of the Ohio Supreme Court whom I spoke with were unsure how to proceed with such an intrusion of our constitutional rights by the emergency powers of a governor under a crisis, made up or legitimate. So I operated my life as normal. I was on the road every day, and I fully expected to be stopped by the police at some point during the lockdowns and harassed for not following the made-up on the back of a napkin Governor rules for Covid. And that would have been a clear violation of the 4th Amendment, and I was prepared, and still am, to defend the Bill of Rights with the 2nd Amendment. Not that I ever wanted anybody to get hurt, but this violation of the law to me was serious business, and I felt that at any time, I was going to be targeted as an example to be made of so that others wouldn’t get the same idea.   I stayed on edge like that for two solid years until it became apparent recently that the whole Liberal World Order overplayed its hand and is now falling apart. I’m still ready for anything at any moment. But the political momentum for the political left is lost, and now they are in a retreat.

So to the point of violence, I can say from personal experience that the entire makeup of the Liberal World Order, from the local authorities to the military, to the IRS bureaucrats that there is so much talk of, are paper tigers wherever such Marxist pushes occur in the world, especially in Africa where rebels against insurgent Marxists have figured it out, that the Administrative State is filled with paper tigers that fall apart quickly. They do not have the moral authority to conduct their abuse. We have seen the worst they can manage to apply to the world in what they did under the Trump administration, climaxing into the election fraud of 2020 and the creation of Covid in a Wuhan lab in China to push the world into the Desecrators of Davos Great Reset. The whole event was a military attack to my way of looking at these things that were meant to destroy the American rule of law through the Constitution, and that was a line I was never going to cross. And others felt the same way; the result was that the effort failed for the Liberal World Order, and they were caught. So when they lose, which they will lose, they will not have the authority to go door to door, killing Republican voters. They don’t have a right to do that, and nobody should fear it or abuse authority to arrest people just because they voted for a conservative. Follow the Constitution. Keep it committed in your mind and be prepared to defend that rule of law in the face of lawlessness. I get it; it was scary during those Covid days. But know that the bad guys are weak; they are paper tigers who are easily exposed. And once people know that, the fear goes away quickly, and a world that is restored to the rule of law can take place once again, which is the obligation of each and every one of us.

Police State in Ohio: “Tail of the Dragon” cover is revealed!

There are 88 counties in the State of Ohio, yet there are 900 police departments all who participate in the “Click it or Ticket” campaign over the Memorial Day weekend for one reason—revenue enhancement! This “Click it or Ticket” initiative is a nationwide endeavor and the federal government is spending millions of dollars promoting it with expensive ads and marketing. It is sold to the public as a “protective” measure from big daddy government, but is in fact a diabolical infringement of the freedoms Americans enjoy and over time gradually deprive liberty from drivers everywhere with small increments of advancing the construction of a complete police state. Darryl Parks of 700 WLW covered this issue in the video below as I joined him to reiterate the amount of police departments there are in Ohio that have only one purpose—to tax motorists in another scheme to pay for the increases of government by giving all those police department employees working something to do.

In my generation I have watched the gradual erosion of resistance that has taken place in respect to “The Law.” These days’ young people think nothing of DUI check points, or “Click it or Ticket” fines because they’ve always seen them, and were recently indoctrinated in their government schools to blindly follow orders. So when ODOT puts out an ad stating that the fines they are collecting for violations are for the safety of society, it is failed to recognize that a cleaver scam has just been perpetuated. Police departments have managed to sell “nothing” to the public by charging society a fee to keep them “safe.” Gradually year after year more police departments have been created and to pay all those employees states have had to rely on more regulations so they can fine motorists to pay the salaries of so many police officers.

The police unions have done a good job helping this process along by vigorously promoting themselves as useful advocates of “safety” and attacking any politician who does not “support law enforcement.” This has led to tremendous amounts of pandering from public personalities, particularly those in the legal profession because these increases in regulations created by comb-over politicians, enforced by cops, and processed by the courts have made great livings for lawyers who need revenue from the massive amounts of DUI cases, traffic infringements, and safety violations like “Click it or Ticket.” Then once those court cases have concluded the parasitic insurance companies can then raise their rates since they have a non competitive oligopoly granted by the politics of their state through mandatory purchase. If you want to drive, you must have insurance, which guarantees insurance companies in states a share of business for every driver on the road, so there is little incentive to keep their rates low to meet the needs of their customers. Government guaranteed these companies income from every motorist on the roadways, and it is the cops who help drive up the rates through regulation enforcement.

What has happened is that so many regulations have been passed over the last 20 years that were disguised as “safety” for the public, but were in actuality funding mechanisms for the public employees and the parasites who feed off misery—such as lawyers, insurance agencies, and ad companies doing work for ODOT. Darryl is 100% correct; the American people let it happen. On Memorial Day, and coming up on July 4th we celebrate our fights for freedom in America but right in front of our faces these freedoms have been eroded away into tyranny. We should not be pulled over at check points to verify that we have on our seat belts. Government is not our parent and we are certainly not their children—their loyal subjects. When a person considers that there are 900 police departments in only 88 counties in Ohio, it must be questioned why so many cops are needed. Of course the Fraternal Order of Police will say that it is for public safety. They use the same type of line that the teachers unions use to protect their members, which kids deserve a chance to succeed, so more teachers are needed—as if parents had nothing to do with the process of raising a child. Cops are sold as protectors of our safety, but they are actually tax collectors and they have full authority to carry out the whims and back room deals made by corrupt politicians who pander to the mobs of lobby power in order to soak from the American citizen every last dime that can be taken without actually squeezing the life out of the victim.

I feel so passionate about this issue that I wrote a novel about it, because I recognized as Darryl stated that we have allowed it to happen, we stood by idly and allowed a police state to grow right under our feet. To me the most alarming aspect of those 900 police departments in Ohio is that under the NDAA Act President Obama signed into law on New Year’s Eve this last year, those departments actually represent a military force that can become activated under martial law, which is declared by the president just by his whim, so the situation is rather serious, and I don’t wish to just sit by and let it happen with a whimper. So I wrote a book that has a story exploring all these aspects mentioned above and what would happen if a person decided enough was enough, and decided to “fight back.” After three years of writing and securing a publisher, the book is about to be released and it was just the other day that I signed off on the cover designed which you can see below.

It is healthy to push back and question the law and the legal systems tendency to soak citizens for everything they have. Violence is not the answer, because the power is already in all our hands. All we have to do is learn to say “NO” to all these gradual increases in government expansion and make no mistake about it, police forces are government expansion. They are not your friends, or your parents when they pull you over to make sure you’re “behaving safely.” They are arms of corrupt politicians. The community cop in your neighborhood is only as good as the laws they enforce. Do you dear reader think that the politician who made all the laws these COPS are enforcing are good people, or are themselves thieves who use those 900 police departments as their personal sledgehammer of extortive revenue enhancement to embark on their diabolical schemes?

I think you know where I stand and if my readers here think that I dislike the manipulation that goes on in our public schools, they haven’t seen anything of the anger that I feel for the tyranny I see in our police departments and their tendency toward terror disguised as safe keeping. “Click it or Ticket” as a campaign is the symbol of a freedom that is evaporating from American life-like a puddle of water on a hot July morning before the sun has hit it. The water disappears slowly, not even perceptible to the mind’s eye, but a person who has looked at the puddle at 8 AM then leaves, and comes back again at 9 AM will find that the puddle is gone, evaporated before our very eyes, consumed by the heat of the sun and the elements of earth. And our freedom is no different, it is evaporating one cop at a time, one ticket at a time, one lawyer at a time, one judge, one insurance agent, one PR spokesman, one politician at a time till eventually there will be nothing left, and the people of America will wonder how the “Police State” came to be and why they let it happen. At that time, everyone will have forgotten the “Click it or Ticket” campaign because that will seem mild compared to what’s coming.

Why John Hughes is a Hero: The evil behind legalized theft

What was 55-year-old John C. Hughes thinking when he paced a patrol car for seven blocks in the town of Butte, Montana then pulled his SUV around to pass the cop at over 70 mph instigating a chase that went up to 100 mph down an interstate toward Rocker, Montana? Well, the police didn’t know what to make of it. They chased Hughes until patrolmen threw stop sticks across the road flattening the tires of the SUV. When they arrested the driver Hughes proclaimed that being in a car chase was on his bucket list, and saw this as his opportunity to make good on that list.

Naturally reporters and law enforcement personnel across the nation were confused as to why anyone would want to do such a thing. Why would anyone openly challenge the law like that? Why would something so reckless be on someone’s bucket list?

Well, I have some very strong feelings about the reason and necessity by John Hughes to instigate a car chase with the police which are challenging to pin-point because often the social parameters that nag us most are those that remain undefined. For many, we drive about on the roads and highways eyeing the police as though they are wolves ready to pounce on our gazelle nature. We carefully worry about whether or not our tags are up to date on our licenses, whether or not we are carrying our insurance cards and keep an eye on our speeds so not to attract the attention of these wolves.

When we pass down the road and see a fellow driver pulled over there is a part of us that feels sorry for them. We know that at a minimum there will be a big fine that comes from a traffic stop. Sometimes it’s worse, it could involve jail time. Most of the time being caught by the police in some fashion means a loss of freedom to some extent and over time our subconscious feelings about these wolves patrolling around has caused Americans to accept a lifestyle wrapped in tyranny.

Most police patrol vehicles have on them someplace a logo that indicates, “To protect and serve.” We accept this logo as a reality in the discussions of everyday speech, but in the back of our minds we know this is a disguise designed to make the wolf appear to be something it’s not. The law enforcement officer is not stopping crime with their traffic stops. They are not protecting and serving the society by setting up DUI checkpoints and hindering the freedoms of drivers from getting to and from their destinations without harassment. They are toll collectors and law enforcements chief goal is to sustain the jobs of attorneys, judges, clerk of courts, jailers, and politicians who make up laws to support these public jobs. The ticket gained on the side of the road by an officer who has pulled you over is a legalized theft of your personal wealth. It is a forced acquisition of your time and money that dictates you will pay your fees, you will appear in court, that you may retain the services of an attorney. You will do all these things because a cop selected you to be pulled over, and you find yourself caught in a political snare that is open looting.

Police will tell society that it is because of the presence of police officers that crime is deterred. If there were fewer police there would be more robberies, there would be more rapes, there would be more DUI’s and reckless speeding. Police and politicians use fear of crime to drive society to accept their tyranny. The measurement of the truth is easy as to what the intentions are of law enforcement. They are the perpetrators of evil disguised as justice.

In my book The Symposium of Justice the police wanting to earn community trust inject a known rapist recently paroled into a neighborhood hoping that the pedophile will resume his activity and put the citizens into a froth looking for police support. Police do these things within the realm of the law, but their secret intentions which they do not reveal in the light of day is to gain public acceptance of their levy requests, and to support the staffing requirements without question. They use fear to gain advantages for their law enforcement entity. In cities locally like West Chester and Mason the nature of these police is easy to see. When driving from townships like Sycamore or Liberty into these cities the cops sit like hungry predators in parking lots and on the side of roads looking for an easy traffic stop so to meet their ticket quotas. Those police aren’t there to protect society from crime. In both of these regions Mason and West Chester their neighboring townships of Liberty and Sycamore do not have higher crime because they do not employ full-time police. Those regions tend to have low crime because the people who live there are good, families on public assistance is down, and value in education is higher. It’s the quality of people who determine the level of crime, not the presence of police. This leaves the nature of those police exposed for those who dare proclaim it.

How do we know a society is evil, or better yet, how do we know that the work of police in protecting and serving that society is evil? The answer is if a society is built upon a system of theft than that society is evil. And currently, or society is built upon theft.

We do not give our taxes freely to benefit our society for the better. Behind our façade of participation, each week our taxes are taken from our pay checks and used to pay for the toys of politicians. I am forced by coercion to pay for Medicare, a program that Lyndon Johnston created to compliment Social Security. It was the ideas of looting presidents trying to impress their mistresses who dictated that all American’s would pay for these grand social programs. For me the tax payer, I will have peace and some resemblance of freedom so long as I pay my taxes. But if I do not pay my taxes, then I will be arrested and thrown into jail by law enforcement.

Having staffed levels of police so high is not to clean up the occasional accidents on roadways, or the domestic violence that sometimes takes place in a large population. The infrastructure of the police car on the side of the road is not to protect and serve you, it is to protect and serve the society’s ability to legally loot by means of open theft. The police are there to remind the American citizen that they must obey the law, they must pay attention to the registration of their vehicles, their insurance cards, and hundreds of little details because we must all drive to get to our jobs so we can pay our taxes which encompass almost 50% of everything we earn by the time you add up the gas tax, the various sales taxes, the payroll taxes, and our property tax. I personally think most of that money is spent unwisely, and should be greatly reduced. But it is the law enforcement officer who stands between a population that would turn its anger on a political class that has built a society of evil in open theft, and strict compliance with the law. The cops absorb and diffuse the anger so it doesn’t migrate to a higher level.

When the officer sits in his patrol car like a wolf hunting food for the day, most of us hope that we will be protected by the sheer numbers as we travel like herds hoping to blend in and not attract the attention of the wolf in his patrol car. So we watch the speed limit and make sure we don’t roll through a stop light when a cop is around, because we don’t want to see those lights on in our rear view mirror. If we do, we know the chances are we’ll be going to court to pay a ticket that will be $50 to $100. We may even have to hire a lawyer at $75 to $200 an hour. Those lights on in our rear view mirrors might mean we will be forced to pay additional taxes on top of everything else of another $1000 to $2000. The fear of these fines keeps society from acting on the open theft because we all know you cannot fight the law, you cannot fight city hall, it is pointless to resist. That is the message.

The law enforcement officer represents tyranny to an evil system. Most people don’t have the capacity to consider their life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness when their attentions are consumed with all this trivia of paying taxes mentioned here. When the worry of our days must be negotiated between our taxes and our obligations to our families and ourselves, there isn’t much time left for philosophy and social context. So we look at the police with disdain, fear, and apprehension and do our best to avoid their wrath with careful adherence to the law, laws that are created faster than even the law makers can read them. The cop is the symbol of a society built on theft. They are the means of force to attain with might if necessary the legalized theft of our property.

So when John C. Hughes sped by a cop car in his SUV at 70 mph to instigate a police chase, he wasn’t trying to get arrested, or even break the law. Mr. Hughes put this car chase on his bucket list before he died because he wanted for once in his life to hunt the wolf instead of being afraid of them. For just a moment, John Hughes was the aggressor, and found a moment of freedom when he took action to step beyond fear to overcome the intimidation of those red and blue lights that flash from a patrol car. Hughes wanted to be free for just a moment to be his own man, and was willing to trade away his freedom once he was caught for the sensation of that true freedom while he was a temporary outlaw.

For that reason I admire Mr. Hughes. I understand that the law enforcement officers involved were perplexed, and the judge I’m sure was aghast. The members of the law enforcement community had their cage rattled. The reality that if everyone behaved as Mr. Hughes did, the law enforcement officers would find themselves on the bad end of a very sharp stick. Law enforcement is accustomed to societies blind conformance to the law, and all the members of the political class that have built the law enforcement community need that conformity to ensure their ability to legally steal from society the wages earned from their labor. In a society that is built upon theft, it is the thin blue line that makes it so. And most of the time a challenge to that authority goes unanswered until a 55-year-old man from Montana decided to put that challenge on his bucket list so that at least one time in his life he could spit in the face of his masters and touch the face of freedom, even if the experience lasted only for a moment.

Over a Million Signatures to Repeal Senate Bill 5: Gained from an emerging police state

The following article should be viewed like a movie. The videos here are extensive, and in the order presented, tell a compelling tale. That tale may have truth, they may be filled with conspiracy theory and thus paranoia, and the opinions many be in the context of such paranoia. However what cannot be disputed is that in 2011 the police and all authority have a lot more power and intrusive capability than they did a decade ago. They are also more expensive as wages and pensions are destroying budgets everywhere. Politicians hungry for the FOP vote are quick to add more and more police to make tax payers feel safe, but the subtle strategy is to create so many government employees through union membership, that politics can be steered where desired.

Police officers and other public union employees in Ohio gathered up more than a million signatures to put a repeal of S.B.5 on the November ballot, a bill that would give communities more management control of their costs. For anyone concerned with a smaller, less intrusive government the union control of public sector employees is deeply concerning. The sheer volumes of public employees that don’t want any changes are displayed in the above and below videos. In fact this very issue is the primary topic of my new book tentatively called, Tail of the Dragon due out in 2012, where politicians use public employees and their families, to shape policy. They do this with excessively high pay which turn republican’s employees into democratic votes due to the luxury of the rate of pay. These public employees no matter how dangerous the job or any other condition is making an average of 30% more than the private sector job, and that buys votes. This is why the public sector unions do not want S.B.5 to stand as law and will fight with everything they have to maintain the status quo.

In some way or another we all know that the status quo is spiraling out of control. Everyone wants police officers to protect them from criminals, but that doesn’t mean we want bored cops parked on the side of the road to pull us over for speeding tickets, seat belt violations, or DUI check points. And lets face it, for every police officer hired, that officer is going to be expected to do something, and if there isn’t a lot of crime in a neighborhood, who is to say how many police officers even need to be on the payroll of the tax payer.

But according to the FOP union, there isn’t a limit. They want an infinite amount of officers and will always ask for more. This is why S.B.5 is needed, so that management can control this tendency somewhat, because over-staffing is causing budget deficits. And to justify the over staffing, law makers (politicians) keep inventing new jobs for these positions which ultimately push up against constitutional limits.

The following video is why it is entirely possible to have too many police officers, and just how dangerous it is to give them too many rights to “protect and serve.” Do you want Mr. Wesley Cheeks to have the right to break down your door in the middle of the night just because he suspected you of a crime? I’m sure Mr. Cheeks is a nice guy but is he worth 60K per year to be a cop, or even a 100K per year with unlimited overtime? Should Mr. Cheeks be given any level of authority over any of us? How many cops are on the current staff in your neighborhood that is just like officer Cheeks?

When Cheeks was pressed about the validity of the law he started to say dumb things, the kind of things that were really on his mind deep down inside, particularly when he says this “isn’t America anymore.” It might have been an accident what he said, but he revealed his political inclination. Do you think this officer would vote politically in a way that his FOP president didn’t tell him to do? Do you think this guy is capable of independent thought at all? I don’t and that makes him dangerous, because he is simply a soldier that will carry out his orders and he gets his orders from politicians, and we know they can’t be trusted. So this is the essence of the problem looked upon without emotion.

Here’s another case of police abuse over political motives. Listen to this guy. This is a separate case from the one above, yet it is so similar. Why do these police seem to be protecting the Obama Presidency? It’s an FOP condition, and Obama is friendly to labor unions. It’s that simple. So here you have a case were police officers are using the law to influence elections. It may be in just a small way, but if hundreds of officers, or even thousands across the country are all doing the same thing, the impact can actually be a percentage point or two in election participation or actual voter results. It’s harassment intended for a political objective.

It does my heart good to see people like the V-Man putting on a mask and protesting some of the police abuse that is going on in his community. Now, who can argue with The V Man? Is he wrong? In my experience, when police need a levy passed, that is when they do the drug raids. That is when they start the campaign of showing how much work they do. That’s when whatever dangerous situation they participate in gets reported in the paper. The trouble is, the police always know who the drug dealers are. They always know where the crimes are committed, but they often put it on the back burner until they need to use their endeavors to gain a political advantage. There will be a lot of that kind of behavior as the vote for S.B.5 gets closer. But the V-Man brings up what the police do most of their time, hang out at the station and wait for something to happen. And when we hire too many cops there are a lot of cops to sit around waiting for something to do.

So if people are starting to fear the law enforcement, if the TSA is reaching for union protection, which only increases the number of union voters that will shape public policy, which is incredibly dangerous, it can be concluded that the United States is already in a police state. We know that the Indiana Supreme Court recently voted to allow for unmolested entry of police officers into homes of suspicion. That means that if a law enforcement officer wishes to enter you home you have no right to prevent them from doing so. Here is a reasonable argument that the United States is now a police state.

Now have a look at a full length documentary called Police State 4, which the V-Man referred to above from Alex Stone. It’s over two hours long, so you might want to grab some popcorn. It’s a well done documentary that brings up a lot of great points. You don’t have to believe everything in it. But if you watch it critically, you must recognize that we have a dangerous trend in America.

Here’s another documentary called Invisible Empire also produced by Alex Jones. The facts are hard to dispute because the behavior we have seen over the last decade prove how quick certain factions of government were prepared to expand the police powers from what they used to be to what we are seeing today. This documentary is also over 2 hours, so you better grab more popcorn.

The war is happening all around us, as shown in this Alex Jones radio broadcast where he talks about Ron Paul going after the TSA. It’s a shame that Ron is virtually alone in this endeavor.

There is without any question a dangerous expansion of law enforcement and the intrusions by them upon America. They are becoming more and more a branch of military service intent on controlling our population. The problem with the conspiracy theories is that they often appear to come from radicals, so the message gets lost. I do not think that the government planned 911 so they could expand government police power into a new world order, gradually taking away the freedoms of Americans so they are more equal to other nations throughout the world. Because the trouble with these global advocates is that if everyone wants to move to the United States, and doesn’t stay put in their home countries, then globalism will never take root. Global government needs to frustrate the plans of the freedom lover who climbs in a boat and rows to America to flee their tyrannical home governments. So taking away the freedoms of Americans helps control the aims of the world in this way.

We know that the CIA and the FBI and who knows what other organizations are funded by the America tax payer use manipulative tactics to achieve an objective. I think with 911, globalists probably working as sleeper agents within the United States government, and had been fanning the flames of Muslim extremists hoping for an attempted terrorist attack that would be caught before the deaths occurred. The intent all along by the globalists would be to expand government with a branch of government such as Home Land Security. If such a thing happened it wouldn’t be the first time subversive groups like the CIA got caught with their foot in their mouth. America has propped up many current terrorists in a subversive fight with other nations that the our relationship with the United Nations prevented, but the desire for nation building was still present. It is naive to consider that such tactics are not being done on us all, just as it has with other nations.

Whatever the reason, police powers are expanding, and the unions that protect them are not allowing for staffing adjustments, or wage reductions that can allow management bring not only their costs in line without raising taxes, but also to reduce the amount of officers needed for a community or city. There are so many union regulations and inefficiencies, and so much dramatization going on with these law enforcement positions, that true staffing levels cannot even be considered. Instead, under union, and political motive, law enforcement just continues to grow perpetually. S.B.5 is a bill that will help with some of the wage level issues that we are seeing, but it doesn’t go near far enough in preventing the rapid expansion of government employees that we are seeing and the justification of those positions by trampling over the constitutional rights of American citizens. The window for doing anything about controlling this emerging police state is closing where such action can still be done peacefully, with just a simple vote.

The question is how willing are Americans to let their freedoms erode before they say enough. If they declare it now, they can do themselves a favor later. But if they wait too long………………………………………it won’t be a good thing.
