More on the militarization of the federal bureaucracy.

Armed EPA raid in Alaska sheds light on 70 fed agencies with armed divisions.

The LIBRARY OF CONGRESS SWAT team? Really? Sheesh.

It is my firm belief that the Federal Government is arming everyone they can, so that they can field more warm bodies when the economic collapse comes to America. Part of the proof of this is; the FBI is/was training deputy sheriff's, boat and fish commission employees, prison guards, game wardens and others, in combat operations in the Alleghenny Forest, near Bradford Prison, in Pennsylvania. Part of the training is/was classroom studies, then they'd go out into the forest with an M-113 armored personnel carrier. I asked myself at the time, why would a fish warden or game warden need to be trained in combat operations? By the way, Combat Operations, was the actual name of the training course. Most folks are well aware of the militarization of state and local police, but this training was over the top. My point is, if it happened here, it happened where you live. There is only one answer; a reserve force for mobilization WTSHTF. For Federal neo-nazi's who monitor this board, you do not even have plausible deniability on this post, as it comes from trusted, eye witness accounts.; September 16, 2013 at 6:56 AM

Paul X said...: We just had a pot bust (not on people for growing pot, but for growing TOO MUCH pot and violating Oregon's medical marijuana laws). As the newspaper reported, "The raids were directed by the Westside Interagency Narcotics (WIN) agency, with assistance from the Oregon Department of Justice, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, Portland Police Bureau, Beaverton Police Department, Hillsboro Police Department, Oregon National Guard, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Marshals Service, and the FBI."

I wrote this letter to the editor (also commenting on the story this paper managed to survive a year in publication):
------------
In your Sept. 13 article,"Police search 15 houses in drug bust", the PR
flack said, "They were manipulating and exploiting the medical marijuana
laws for financial gain."

Heaven forbid that entrepreneurs should earn money by providing
customers with what they want - a harmless plant. The people in that
absurdly long list of agencies working this bust obviously have a much
better way of earning money. They do it by looting the taxpayers.

By the way, if you are wondering why people are giving up on newspapers,
all you have to do is read that story. You present reality in the
standard good guys/bad guys format, with hardly a thought or comment
about who are the violent ones. It's 2013, the state is broke, and they
are still throwing people in cages for pot! There was not even a word
from the victims of this bust, or their lawyer, or their neighbors; just
the cops' point of view.

Let's face it, propping up a thuggish regime is not a very good way to
sell newspapers. People are getting tired of it.; September 17, 2013 at 2:09 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
