Since learning of the helicopter assault training in Miami, I discovered that this is going on all over the US. There have been exercises in Minneapolis, according to commenters something is going on in Houston, and Chicago has seen them as well. I consider the silence about it an appalling omission on the part of the mainstream media. Not only have they refused to discuss this nationally, every single news report I see urges people “not to worry” and takes an entirely complacent, approving stance on what has been admitted to be special forces assault training in major American cities in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security and local police forces. And yes, special forces are involved — this has been openly admitted.
Leaving aside the speculation about what exactly it is they are preparing for by staging exercises in US cities, this is an indication that something about the US has fundamentally changed quite recently, in just the past decade or so. One thing, of course, is that we are a much more fragmented populace than we used to be. Go to any large mall in a major urban area, and it sure doesn’t look like the “America” we used to know. But even the results of the “invade the world, invite the world” policy George Bush left us with doesn’t explain it all. There’s also a growing rift between those managing our brave new world and those of us subject to management.
During the 2008 election I noticed a real enthusiasm for Obama amongst young technocrats. Aside from black women they were his most fervent supporters, and continue to be to this day. However, there was something more than mere idealism behind it — I could sense that they were eager for a changing of the guard (hence their disdain for Hillary Clinton, who represented the baby boomer political establishment). Obama was the perfect vehicle for their ascendancy, and his cabinet – full of relatively young, white male technocrats – reflects that.
There are a lot of trends that have converged to create a new managerial overclass, including identity politics, which have shattered any sense of greater civic responsibility, the higher technical demands of the modern workplace and the sheer weight and size of the United States, which is an enormous and unwieldy society. It was probably inevitable that it would happen eventually, just as it did in the past in many instances. The Chinese Imperial examinations created a class of bureaucrats that ran China for the putative benefit of the emperor, the French Capetian bureaucrats created what we know of as the Ancien Régime and the Byzantines wrought such an extraordinarily inscrutable administrative system that we attach the epithet “Byzantine” to all sorts of overly complex, incomprehensible bureaucracies.
What this new American elite has in common with its ancient predecessors is that the common folk values that held the state together in its earlier form have come to be replaced with an emphasis on expedience and utility, all exercised for the benefit of the state — not necessarily the people. In order to justify this, states usually resort to promoting a universalist philosophy or religion. In fact, there is evidence that the first monotheistic cult was promoted by an Egyptian pharaoh who wanted to bring all his subjects under a unifying single god.
China’s emperors were considered the high priests of Middle Earth, who communicated with heaven and the gods on behalf of their subjects. Communism is another example of an essentially imperial universalist ideology, and the French kings ruled by divine right.
Along similar lines, America’s elite has cast Obama in the messianic role with which they are most familiar due to our own cultural peculiarities. This is why, despite the fact that a lot of Obama skeptics have a difficult time articulating it, there is something to the criticism of Obama as a messianic figure. He exemplifies the universalist, transcendant value of equality (as understood by Americans) first represented to us by Martin Luther King Junior, and so serves as its avatar.
When you have a supreme spiritual mandate, in our case “equality,” it can be used to justify almost any action undertaken to promote it. From the Inquisition to the torture chambers of the Lubyanka, men operated under this principle of service to a higher cause. Old rules and customs, such as the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, mean little to those engaged in promoting the one true faith. It is, in effect, a license to exercise power unfettered, and as always this tends to draw in some unsavory characters.
This is why we see the growth of an arrogant state that violates our Constitution and engages in shows of force designed to cow and humiliate lowly citizens. It is why we now have elite military units firing automatic weapons from helicopters above our cities. I suspect these are preventative measure, to let the people know that they had better not get in the way of the plans of their superiors.
However, I wonder whether this current construct has any permanence. I doubt it, because it assumes that the foreigners currently being recruited to join in the crusade will be as enthusiastic about 1960s American social movements as the young technocrats who were raised on them. As it stands today, there are some 35 million people – over 10% of the US population – who speak Spanish as their primary language, and I can guarantee that they are not listening to paeans to civil rights era ideology on NPR. Additionally, it casts well over a quarter of the US population (white males) as the “bad guys,” and that is not a recipe for stability.
Although I’m skeptical of the Republican efforts to bring Hispanics “in,” and think it will end in failure unless there are fundamental changes in the Republican party itself (it would have to become more of a coalition-based party — like the Democratic party), I think Hispanics may just be the wildcard that breaks the great liberal coalition. I don’t say this because Hispanics are inherently conservative (they are not), but rather because they exist outside the paradigm. They feel no guilt and no sense of obligation, and will only support an Obama type politician if he provides them with something tangible. In other words, they can extort an equalist regime, and as their numbers grow that will put an enormous amount of pressure on a coalition that relies on a shrinking white male tax base.
So, even as we see the culmination of an old social movement in the Obama presidency, I believe we are approaching its end, and possibly its replacement with an entirely different, as of yet unknown national philosophy.

Chicago has seen them (helicopter assault training) as well.
I wonder if the FIBs (Fucking Illinois Bastards) who put Obama first in the Senate, which gave him a platform to run for the White House, are starting to put two and two together.
Apologies to any Illinois resident (and possible reader of The Spearhead) who doesn’t lend credence to the epithet FIB.
As another aside, David Futrelle, in addition to being incapable of pluralizing the word “boob,” is also a Fucking Illinois Bastard.
Great essay, Bill.
The USA of Washington, Jefferson and Franklin is dead. Just how dead is illustrated by the fact that it’s really only conservative white males who either know or care now about the ideals and principles of the Founders. The Federal Government is no longer of, by and for the people. In a profoundly disturbing way the Federal Government now IS the country.
Is this the result of a deliberate long term strategy? I don’t know. But I can tell you that in my conversations with the women in my extended family, feminism has been vastly successful in fracturing the American family. Women are not interested in issues that don’t directly affect them and they do not care about, much less are willing to fight and die for, abstract moral principles. To be fair, most men aren’t either.
I am not a white male and I care. I care a lot. The USA is the land of my forefathers slavery and of my freedom. With all her faults and problems, she is mine.
Remember that various forms of social media (Facebook, etc.) have utterly changed what politics is about, and who people interact with.
If daily interactions are with people one knows, but live far away, while there is no interaction with people in close proximity, this changes things.
If all major corporations, supply chains, and products are transnational, this changes things.
One is not necessarily better or worse than the other. If anything, the free market will work more efficiently as nations that obstruct the free flow of merit and capital, get swiftly docked.
Young white liberal STEM men are stupid, stupid, stupid.
Most of them will not end up like Mark Zuckerberg (young), Bill Gates (old) or Steve Jobs (old). Only the cream of the top will rise to these powerful and few positions.
It’s kind of like how feminism has affected anything below white liberal male elite (with many families broken in the USA and most people hurting), immigration will affect anything below white liberal male elite as well. So we will have a couple of white liberal males at the top, with a huge minority underclass at the bottom.
Obama and his feminist cronies are pushing Title IX on STEM and hanging out HB1 visas to Chinese and Indian dudes like candy. They are putting white chicks and Chinese/Indian dudes on high positions and giving them high incomes thanks to various quotas.
The smart young white STEM men have all become either far-right or apolitical (neither side).
The rest are just lambs praising the people who will slaughter them. How on earth they cannot see it boggles the mind.
Speaking of ”the principle of service to a higher cause”:
http://republicanherald.com/news/toilet-paper-restrictions-concern-mahanoy-area-parent-1.1435891
ALL Boys ONLY must sign out toilet paper in school because of a few vandals clogging toilets. A microcosm of the theory at play.
——————————-
It’s a myth that Hispanics are concerned with immigration as a major issue. For the most part they believe the government is what produces a vibrant economy and growth. Remember they’ve been indocrinated in our public school system and are just as influenced by our popular media, right along with the gringos y gringas. Their parents and grandparents also come from third world countries where the government is weak and does little (except Cuba). Of course they don’t want to understand conservative economic principles, because in poor countries with little economic vibrancy there’s nothing to “trickle down” from.
There will be a day of reckoning either during Hillary Clinton’s second term, or not long after. An extremely charismatic libertarian/objectivist (someone like Rand Paul but better looking and with more gravitas) will be elected and there will be a hard shift to the right…harder than Obama has gone to the left. This will manifest itself with several State government defaults, and the Federal government having to borrow from what other states are entitled to just to keep the default States intact and safe.
I’m not 100% sure about this, but I do know that we’re already in hock up to our eyeballs with no will on the president’s part to stop the defict spending…so even a freshman economics major can figure out it’s gonna get real messy within 10 or 15 years.
Do you think these urban helicopter assault training excersises are preparation for Damascus or Beruit or Cairo or Tehran? They’re for the likes of you and me right here in the homeland friend. When the bruthas and cholos commence to the streets, the “crowd control” will come from above.
I mean seriously… they can see how amnesty for illegals, mass legal immigration of Chinese/Indian STEM dudes, quotas for under qualified women and welfare for minorities has hurt STEM right?
Right?!?
When the executive branch goes to war without the approval of congress then the US is in trouble. Take for example the war in Mali:

I am not a white male and I care. I care a lot. The USA is the land of my forefathers slavery and of my freedom. With all her faults and problems, she is mine.
She is not yours right now. You’ll have to take her back.
She is in the hands of Egalitarian Socialists and Keynesian Economists for the next 12 years.
A very bad combination at a very bad time.
Social Justice initiatives and unfettered deficit spending.
A Middle East in turmoil with no super-power to intervene.
Save yourself.
I do think this is aimed at us; how could it not be. The fact the media nationally does not cover it; and the local news agencies hail it as a good sign is very troubling.
We have raised a series of generations which are too heavily dependent on the governement dole; and when it fails them I for one do not think the government will go after them first. It will go after its tax base.
Most of these idiots remind me of the bad guy in Megamind. All the power in the world, but still playing video games. When the crap hits the fan; these “heroes and heroins” won’t even notice the change. They will most likely embrace it; until the last vestige of pretense is dropped and there is no one to save them.
I am for cutting out the middle man (meaning myself). Just let these government hacks meet their new government and avoid it as much as possible; if possible?
If not, hopefully I go down swinging. I certainly don’t want to be held down; they do nasty things to you in prison.
At least you might get the luxury of building Obama’s personal refrigerator for his new library. There’s that eh?
Please excuse me. I did not mean to exclude you. It’s just easier to write “it’s really only conservative white males who either know or care now about the ideals and principles of the Founders” than “it’s really only conservative white males and a tiny minority of principled minorities and women who either know or care now about the ideals and principles of the Founders.”
When writing the former I did mean the latter.
But African Americans did vote what, about 93% for the Mocha Messiah. Not that Romney would have been a better President. I’ve actually kind of enjoyed seeing Romney’s shock and awe at his inconceivable loss.
Oddly enough I had a black helicopter buzz my house for 10 minutes and several hours later I had two police officers knock on my front door with a search warrant.
Apparently these monkeys can’t tell the difference between long beans and dope, I’d hate to think what they would have done if they confused my garden hose for a flame thrower.
All Democracies eventually end up as dictatorships, the cycle has repeated so many times it’s surprising people don’t realize that. Even the founding fathers knew that, which is why they tried to buy time by structuring the government as a republic with a fairly weak and underfunded central government. It didn’t work and we are seeing that failure in recent events. Waco and ruby ridge were the wake up calls for this but not that many people woke up and I doubt that many will this time either. We as a nation are sleep walking towards slavery and not surprisingly most people are just fine with that, as long as they get their freebies and entertainment they’re as docile as a cow being lead to the slaughter.
Extremely good write up by the way.
Great essay Price… thanks for sharing your thoughts.
It looks like you Americans are in the early stages of a military dictatorship, except the mass media is being used to paint a different picture (for example, all those domestic military maneuvers are simply exercises performed with the intention of defending the citizens from potential terrorists). In the latter stages of an unwieldy, unjust, and utterly unsustainable dictatorship, the government gets more and more repressive, draconian, and outrageous in its oppression of the citizens. Looks like the USA is at that point.
Welmer, I’d love to hear your thoughts on Kevin MacDonald’s trilogy, assuming you’ve read it.
I don’t think that people realize how bad things are now in America. This guy in the White House is a Marxist-Leninist. The country is never going to back to the right. What we see is here to stay. Soon 11 million illegal aliens will be given amnesty and will eventually become democratic voters.
What the Federal Government is now doing is pushing the envelope of what it feels it can get away with so as to get people to accept abuse and loss of freedom. Yes, intimidation is part of this. This is what Castro, and Chavez have done and continue to do in their countries.
I recently found out that New Mexicans need a passport when flying because their driver’s licences are not accepted by Homeland Security. A few other states will follow as well. For the first time in its history we will be needing passport controls to travel domestically. Yet people will be grudgingly accepting this and will learn to live with it.
Imagine being an intelligent, well-informed Mexican in 1845. The vast majority of your fellow citizens are dumb as rocks, your government is hopelessly corrupt and ineffective, your army is a joke, and worst of all, there’s a nation of highly intelligent, fertile, brave, ruthless young men to the north determined to annex half of your nation’s territory.
That’s how I feel right now, though it’s not yet obvious who’s going to play USA to our Mexico.

I thought that was well said. Wonder what sort of type would down vote that?
Georice81: “I recently found out that New Mexicans need a passport when flying because their driver’s licences are not accepted by Homeland Security. A few other states will follow as well. For the first time in its history we will be needing passport controls to travel domestically. Yet people will be grudgingly accepting this and will learn to live with it.”
You’re missing the fact that the entire state of New Mexico effectively told DHS to fuck off. States will be the wild card response to anything the fed douchebags try to pull. The Feds have little power internally which is why they are so gung-ho to flex their people killing muscles on foreign soil. Internally though, the feds have no home except maybe for DC. The rest belongs to the states and the states belong to us. Let them have their intimidation ops er, “routine training exercises.” There a mighty big leap from that to complete military control. Remember, this is the same military “superpower” now desperately trying to make nicey-nice with the Taliban (guys who fight in sandals and only after prayers and tea) before they break us like they broke the Russians.
If anything, the Feds intimidation ops are solely because they know this and are hoping We the People don’t and are sufficiently frightened into backing down before someone gets the idea to put to use all those shiny new guns and rifles recently bought.
GT66 “States will be the wild card response to anything the fed douchebags try to pull. ”
Bad form to respond to myself I know but if anyone was wondering just what our founding fathers meant by well armed militia, well it should be getting clearer now.
ugh… well REGULATED.. point is, they meant the States, not the Fed. And, knowing the States may not have the money for a standing army of its own, I believe they wanted each person armed to put numbers against the power of the Fed.
I’m largely in agreement with you with one caveat: the Liberals really do believe in White Guilt: it’s the original sin in the new religion. And by adopting a stance of White Guilt and empowering minorities, they become the Saved, the Elect. Thus they are quite proud and incredibly hateful of Whites who are not saved and have no desire to be.
And Obama is the new Christ. His two natures: flawed and White, and Divinely Black. Thus he can save the sinful Whites, but they must believe and do pennance. Or else.
And yes the Hispanics break the bipolar system. People have really come to think that Liberal and Conservative exhaust reality – even when the two have become almost the same. The Hispancis will take as many handouts as Whites are stupid enough to give them. And yet they will vote to outlaw abortion. They are neither “Liberal” or “Conservative”. They are on their own side. And they are against the Blacks who are competitors at the trough. Incredibly Black politicians are in favor of amnesty: they are just as corrupt as their White colleagues.
“I recently found out that New Mexicans need a passport when flying because their driver’s licences are not accepted by Homeland Security. ”
I thought everybody had to do this. Don’t the feds know that New Mexico is part of the U.S.?
And yeah, there have been more helicopters flying around Albuquerque lately.
I dont think that the country can withstand another 10 years of identity politics. The student loan crisis was caused primarily due to affirmative action and the griggs vs duke power decision. No group of men ever handed out loans to other men in such a haphazard and reckless fashion as our current one does.
I’m not white either.
If you are going to get yourself an AR-15 make sure it has a full 20 inch barrel. get to know your neighbors and discuss survival with your friends and coworkers.
Welmer do not think you are alone in your observations. The weapon sales are just incredable. And the prepping thing is getting very popular with people you would never think. I don’t laugh at them. I’m proud of those people for trying to stay incharge of their own life.
For those of you who think the “collapse” is going to be fun this web site theync.com is a good place to find some video on civil war stuff. Syria is the latest and greatest. Take this government training seriously because they are.
Last year about this time a drill like this took place in San Diego.
@Welmer
“I consider the silence about it an appalling omission on the part of the mainstream media.”
Son, they’ve been doing this since you were in diapers. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticizing you, but this kind of crap has been going on over 200 years. Now it is getting so blatant that their arrogance can no longer be hidden. The thing that has been leaned though is to control the media/message.
Think about it for a moment. The pictures on the evening news with ‘Uncle Walter’ during the Vietnam years inspired revolt here in amerika. Kent State … then retreat. How many pictures of dead Iraqi/Aphgani children have you seen. My guess, unless you’ve looked for them is none. They aren’t on the evening news – but they are out there – and very gruesome. But most of us can remember the picture of the young Vietnamese girl running, screaming after a napalm attack,
The language is being controlled and the message is being controlled for one reason – IMHO – to control the way the observer thinks. When you control the message – and the language – you control the outcome.
Lets see I can vote for .
A new tax on all future earnings to be put in with the Payroll tax
OR
No tax . ( Implicitly giving up all right to bare arms)
Hmmm This is tough , Witch one . ?If I don’t punch one they will throw my card away .
If you ever watch any big Hispanic networks, even if you can’t understand look how liberal they are, Hispanics does not know nothing about republican that is not what democrat liberal Hispanic network tell them (Univision and Telemundo to name few).
Ask any Hispanic, what do he/she thinks about GOP? or any other thing related to GOP, they tell you what liberals Hispanics networks tell them.
Now Obama pass something making 11 millions illegals to get citizenship, that is basically importing 11 millions of votes, is the closest thing to slavery, used to be from Africa, the funny thing is this same Hispanics will start complaining as soon as they become legal, how the remain illegals are taking their jobs, which is why only legal immigrant support republicans.
Why all the groaning and moaning ? Y’all didn’t think a Police state could be accomplished using Civil state methods did you now ?
Get on the bandwagon and starve the beast like the all other grievance hucksters playing daddy-gobmint out and about there. All men can also play that game.
And if you must go ghost, only do so after exhausting whatever you can get put free on the ole EBT card plus other handouts.

Keyster: “A Middle East in turmoil with no super-power to intervene.”
The Middle East is in turmoil exactly BECAUSE of super-power interventions (old and new). It’s just poetic justice that the very same crazed “patriotic” militaristic approach the US used around the world is going to bite back in the arse those who so ardently supported it.
And they’ll use the same lies as people like keyster and other neocons have used for the use of force in foreign lands: “it’s for freedom, it’s for democracy, it’s to contain turmoil, the anti-feminists wants to destroy our way of life, the anti-feminists hates women’s freedom, the anti-feminists hates our freedom, let’s protect the wymmyn from the anti-feminist terrorists, etc.etc.”.
Enjoy your cognitive dissonance shield Keyster, you’ll need it in full force to avoid seeing that what you’ll be fighting are the same lies that you’ve supported for the aggression of foreign countries.
@ Greyghost, GT66:
I bought my AR-15 last weekend, something I have been planning to do for ten years–but only just now jolted out of my slumber by the Administration’s naked aggression against the Second Amendment. What the hell is going on here?
In any case, those of us active duty/retired/prior service types have all been trained and qualified on either M-4 or M-16, and if any US citizens need to have a tactical rifle in their gun safe, it is us. WE are the “well-regulated militia.”
GS Jockey
If Uncle Sam manages to succeed in disarming law-abiding American citizens, we’ll find out soon there’s no such thing as a Democratic Party or a Republican Party — Only The Communist Party.
I mention “law-abiding” Americans, ’cause I never hear one authority figure — on any level of government – ever mention the huge underground, black-market in weapons in the US. Never.
The authorities never even mention the black-market in weapons, let alone try to end it, or put a dent into the underground black-market in weapons.
Obama was involved in running weapons into the US from Mexico to arm criminal gangs. After supplying criminal gangs with weapons, Obama now wants to disarm law-abiding Americans.
Google :
” Operation Fast and Furious + Obama ”
This didn’t make the mainstream news, of course. Many Americans don’t know about “Operation Fast and Furious”. Obama/Holder worked in tandem with the Mexican mafia to run weapons into the US.
The more Americans who know about Operation Fast and Furious, the better.
Bush II worked in tandem with the Mexican mafia to run weapons into the US also.
Our presidents — republican and democrat — are gun runners. Seems to me the communist party in the US is The Party pulling the strings.
Everybody’s forefathers came to this country poor: english immigrants who sold themselves into indentured servitude, the Irish escaping famine, and more recently the Vietnamese who came over in 1975 escaping from a war torn country. However that is where the similarities end. Some ethnic groups have become very successful. For example Japanese Americans on average have a higher income, networth, education level and even life expectancy compared to whites. Don’t expect your college professor to mention this.
As for Hispanics, 50% of them are on some form of social welfare and their median household networth is only 10% compared to whites. They may become the demographic majority but economically speaking they will Never be the ones calling the shots. Sure a large Latino population may make a large customer base for staple goods like beans, rice, and low class TV shows featuring dumb blondes in miniskirts…….but when it comes to the really serious economic decisions like what will be the next big innovative 2 trilllion dollar industry and how do I get a piece of the action? Folks it is white people and Asians who will be calling the shots, NOT Hispanics.
The language is being controlled and the message is being controlled for one reason – IMHO – to control the way the observer thinks. When you control the message – and the language – you control the outcome.
If only Obama and the Democrats could some how mitigate Fox News and talk radio – they’d have 100% control. The Non-Fox news media plays right along. As much as Media Matters and other “Fox News watch dog” groups tries to marginalize and discredit Fox News, Rush Limbaugh et al, they still have at least 50% of the country tuning in.
Ask any Hispanic, what do he/she thinks about GOP? or any other thing related to GOP, they tell you what liberals Hispanics networks tell them.
My Venezuelan neighbor HATES Chavez for everything he’s done to her country, but yet simply adores Obama because he’s “pro-women’s rights”. I try to splain to her but her eyes glaze over. Univison, etc. is as liberal biased as MSNBC.
Enjoy your cognitive dissonance shield Keyster, you’ll need it in full force to avoid seeing that what you’ll be fighting are the same lies that you’ve supported for the aggression of foreign countries.
Why don’t you just come right out and admit it. Those 3000 Americans that died on 9/11 had it coming too….comeuppance for all of America’s “aggression” in the Middle East. We’re just gonna sit back and watch them kill each other from now on. It’s cheaper and much more efficient. We got fracking, we got shale oil, we’re set – thank you.
You and Ward Churchill can get a room, maybe smoke a doob together.
One should append “Careers” to all government agencies.
For example, “The Department of Homeland Security Careers”, because it’s less about protecting the homeland and more about providing 6-figure careers for “criminal justice” majors, etc. etc.
@MarsLover: “Enjoy your cognitive dissonance shield Keyster, you’ll need it in full force to avoid seeing that what you’ll be fighting are the same lies that you’ve supported for the aggression of foreign countries.”
It is not just in the aggression of foreign countries that today’s new liberty, freedom and justice converts have supported wicked lies. They have also supported similar lies in the aggression of locals and citizens.
The only reason we hear so much wailing and teeth-gnashing against oppressive Uncle Sam now is because oxen suddenly being gored belongs to his prior system-favorites.
“It is an outrage”, they now bray.
Welcome to the cattle ranks gents. I hope the yoke and chains don’t chaff too much against your luxurious soft skin.
The destabilization of the Middle-east is the primary objective of any of the US’s military involvement in the Middle-east. It’s not oil, it’s not women’s rights, etc. These are side, or popular, objectives. An unstable Middle-east keeps the Middle-east from uniting under a single Caliphate (more than likely Turkey, just as with the Ottoman Empire, circa 1300-1900). A united Islamic empire would immediately rival the West in force and economy. However, a destabilized Middle-east poses negligible threat to the US, and the West.
The US’s population growth is in decline (as are a number of other industrialized countries). At some point, there will need to be action taken to insure that the working class can support the retirement class (quarters to support dollars, sort of thing). More than likely, this will need to happen in the manner of the US allowing immigrants into our borders to fill that role. But, so many Americans avidly oppose opening the borders, and who can blame them? Its hard enough for some folks to find work now as it is. Regardless, the population growth IS in decline, and something will have to give. It is quite possible that the PTB allowed the transference of wealth and jobs to women as a sort of “delaying the inevitable” sort of tact. But, as we’re all witnessing, that has not really worked out at all. This being said, its important to note that the US’s southern border is an “illusionary” border, if you will, not a geographical one like the Ural Mountains. Its a border that was created solely out of politics. A border that went smack through an already existing ethnic region. An ethnic region that existed for 100s, if not 1000s, of years prior to the existence of the US. This ethnicity exists on both sides of the southern border, and as such, there will always be movement across the border (I think of it kind of like osmosis). Sure, the US could truly lock down the Southern border, but it would take an indeterminate/indefinite amount of resources that just isn’t available to the US right now.
The United States’ geographical location alone makes it difficult for any foreign force of significant size to just show up within our borders one morning without any sort of warning, from anywhere other than the south (and Mexico is in no position to muster up its own force, and has absolutely no intention of ever biting the hand that feeds, so to speak). Couple that with our complete dominance of the world’s oceans, and it makes it virtually impossible (expanding the US’s territory from the east coast to the west coast was an objective of our forefathers for this very reason). That being said, the fact that the DHS is ramping up its “urban” training, and heavily involving local police, makes it very peculiar indeed. I already have my AR, and a small arsenal to boot, but realistically, if the Govt turns its guns inward, the American public stands little chance. Tiny pockets of resistance may linger, but Im of the opinion that for someone whom does not want to conform, their best chance for survival is to ghost or gtfo.
Yesterday, I was in touch with my US Senator and Congressman who are both Republicans. I had to make their position on the assault weapon/hi-cap mag ban crystal clear. They both passed and I thanked them.
I suggested, to the legislators, that we form some sort of committee to do a serious investigation on the home life of people who commit horrible crimes with guns, instead of the usual…………………. They agreed, but we both knew it would not be possible under the current administration because it might put some responsibility on the ruling class. Screw it, I want them to know that not all their constituents are not unconscious.
Also, political power is greater than firepower. If it comes time, in the US today, when the citizenry needs to take up arms against the gov’t it’s too late for political power to help them. I personally don’t believe it’s too late yet, but if major changes aren’t made in the next mid-term election it probably will be. When I look up and see those black helicopters in the sky, I say to myself: “Now that’s political power”
The destabilization of the Middle-east is the primary objective of any of the US’s military involvement in the Middle-east. It’s not oil, it’s not women’s rights, etc. These are side, or popular, objectives. An unstable Middle-east keeps the Middle-east from uniting under a single Caliphate (more than likely Turkey, just as with the Ottoman Empire, circa 1300-1900). A united Islamic empire would immediately rival the West in force and economy. However, a destabilized Middle-east poses negligible threat to the US, and the West.
That’s one of the most bizarre conspiracy theories I’ve heard in a while.
Well done sir!
Evidently the CIA has developed a way to keep the Shi’ite and Sunni branches of Islam from ever resolving that little spat from the 7th century. And then I suppose they’ll just ignore all the Jews and Christians that live there.
A “united Islamic Empire” would immediately rival the US and the west? How do you see this coming about exactly? Maybe starting with a big Cumbaya in Tahrir Square led by the Muslim Brotherhood? They’ve been hating on each other long before the US ever got involved. They seem to thrive on hate of whomever is convenient at the time to serve their political aspirations and remain in power.

Political power is no one in the compliant news media asking what the hell is really going on.
“How do you see this coming about exactly?”
Never said I did see it coming about, but rather that if it did, more than likely it would be under Turkey as the seat. This due to its geographical location, having access to trade routes both over land and sea, and as is reflected by its economic strength now.
“…keep the Shi’ite and Sunni branches of Islam from ever resolving that little spat from the 7th century”
Nevertheless, the ottoman empire did exist, for over 600 years, up until the end of WWI. Its not conspiracy, my man, only history and little geopolitics.
I used to work for the DMV. Here is why New Mexico’s drivers license is not accepted by security.
Because they are a fucking joke.
You do not need to renew a NM drivers license for 25 YEARS!!!!!
Can you imagine how outdated their photos are?
This is but one reason for the “REAL ID” push in Washington, DC. We have states that treat legal documents and licenses like Monopoly money.
This due to its geographical location, having access to trade routes both over land and sea, and as is reflected by its economic strength now.
In the eyes of the erstwhile Ayatollah looking to establish a grand Islamic Middle East caliphate, the hopelessly westernized Turkey would be the last place they’d start.
They want to destroy Israel first and foremost, and then destroy the US or diminish her power significantly (9/11 had some effect). Once the leaders have no “straw man” enemies to foment unity and stay in power, they start killing each other. It’s what they do. Hatred of the Israel and USA binds them together and keeps them distracted from a broad theocratic civil war.
@Zorro The fact that we have states that treat legal documents this way leads many to wonder whether Hawaii simply “manufactured” a birth certificate for Mr. Obama- to insure he did not lose the office.
I have friends who have worked on various U.S. territories in the Pacific. They have told me that the entire staff of the recorder’s office (where birth records and legal titles are kept) turns over around once every year or so. These same people have indicated that “anything will be possible if money is paid” for “government services.
Is it any wonder that most men are cynical about this administration???

funny how alex jones seems less like a kook to me now
I personally have my own theories on this. You have to understand that the people at the top of our society aren’t egalitarian people(surprise surprise) and the same is true in the past. The “elites” where dragged into the Civil Rights era kicking and screaming. Also add in the fact that after WW2 started, many in the top tier viewed the number one threat to the West as the lack of cohesion among Caucasians.
Look at how they help African American’s. They don’t really help them, as their help is often poisonous to the African American community by and large, but it also ticks off “white men” in the process most of the time. Look at Feminism and their main sponsors and source of patronage: The segregationists(literally the Segregationists refused to sign up for the Civil Rights act unless women where added, and adding women is the main reason why African Americans are trapped in poverty and in disarray). What has been the end result of feminist actions? Pissing off “White men” while crippling “Brown men”.
Three generations ago the universal concept of “men” or rather “White men” only existed in the deep South. Anywhere else in the Country you had ethnic enclaves of Irish Americans, German American’s, Italian American’s, Jewish American’s etc. Now, people might have ethnic heritage of some sort but deep down inside very few are anything other then “White men”. The shared suffering has effectively unified the Caucasian ethnicity’s into one race in America. The same is being played out in Europe.
I think they are trying to create not a global NWO, but a Pax Caucasian Union.
Because if they want a global NWO/Socialist America/Communist America or NAU there are way’s of doing it that are so easy I am not even going to begin talk about it. But if you look at what they are actually doing and the natural end results of such actions, it makes a certain degree of sense.
Look at religion in the West and how corrupted Protestants have become(Dalrock is the number one source I have found that illustrates it the best). Granted Catholicism is far from perfect, but if you ask which is more Christian, more and more Protestant denominations fall short. Look up European history for the last thousand years and the main goal of the Catholics has been a Pax European(Caucasian) “Peace”(or Empire).
Even more telling: Look at where those helicopters are practicing. Are they in areas that are predominantly “White”? No. They are training for urban type assaults. I may not be a military expert, but one would think the strategies used in Urban environments would be different then the ones used in rural and suburban environments. This also raises some extremely curious observations.
Of course this is all just hypothesis based upon the actions of the rich and super rich over the last 100 years, and they could very well just be incompetent.
Everyone please investigate Agenda 21. Google it. Read both pro and con. It is already so far advanced that you will be amazed and perhaps sickened.
I can not believe that the USA has turned into a quasi-totalitarian/socialist state a mere 22 years after the end of the Cold War. Then again, look to the UK so how it happened there.
Read “The Law” by Bastiat to see how far we’ve fallen. It was written in 1849. Talk about a prophet!

These men didn’t rise to any “position” by working up some corporate organizational ladder. They took a unique hobby and concentrated on that hobby. You are highly unlikely to become a multimillionaire or billionaire by working hard on a career. Working hard long hours at a job you don’t like will not make you rich.
