It's not just the American economy that is being gouged, unfortunately.
Driven by a greedy defense sector, the American homeland has been transformed into a battlefield with militarized police and weapons better suited to a war zone. President Biden, marching in lockstep with his predecessors, has continued to expand America's military empire abroad and domestically in a clear bid to pander to the powerful money interests (military, corporate and security) that run the Deep State and hold the government in its clutches.
Global policing
Glance at pictures of international police forces and you will have a hard time distinguishing between American police and those belonging to other nations. There's a reason they all look alike, garbed in the militarized, weaponized uniform of a standing army.
There's a reason why they act alike, too, and speak a common language of force: they belong to a global police force.
For example, Israelone of America's closest international allies and one of the primary yearly recipients of more than $3 billion in U.S. foreign military aid has been at the forefront of a little-publicized exchange program aimed at training American police to act as occupying forces in their communities. As The Intercept sums it up, American police are "essentially taking lessons from agencies that enforce military rule rather than civil law."
This idea of global policing is reinforced by the Strong Cities Network program, which trains local police agencies across America in how to identify, fight and prevent extremism, as well as address intolerance within their communities, using all of the resources at their disposal. The cities included in the global network include New York City, Atlanta, Denver, Minneapolis, Paris, London, Montreal, Beirut and Oslo.
The objective is to prevent violent extremism by targeting its source: racism, bigotry, hatred, intolerance, etc. In other words, policeacting as extensions of the United Nationswill identify, monitor and deter individuals who exhibit, express or engage in anything that could be construed as extremist.
Of course, the concern with the government's anti-extremism program is that it will, in many cases, be utilized to render otherwise lawful, nonviolent activities as potentially extremist.
Keep in mind that the government agencies involved in ferreting out American "extremists" will carry out their objectives to identify and deter potential extremists in concert with fusion centers (of which there are 78 nationwide, with partners in the private sector and globally), data collection agencies, behavioral scientists, corporations, social media, and community organizers and by relying on cutting-edge technology for surveillance, facial recognition, predictive policing, biometrics, and behavioral epigenetics (in which life experiences alter one's genetic makeup).
This is pre-crime on an ideological scale and it's been a long time coming.
Are you starting to get the picture now?
On almost every front, whether it's the war on drugs, or the sale of weapons, or regulating immigration, or establishing prisons, or advancing technology, or fighting a pandemic, if there is a profit to be made and power to be amassed, you can bet that the government and its global partners have already struck a deal that puts the American people on the losing end of the bargain.
We've been losing our freedoms so incrementally for so long - sold to us in the name of national security and global peace, maintained by way of martial law disguised as law and order and enforced by a standing army of militarized police and a political elite determined to maintain their powers at all costs that it's hard to pinpoint exactly when it all started going downhill, but we're certainly on that downward trajectory now and things are moving fast.
The "government of the people, by the people, for the people" has perished.
In its place is a shadow government - a corporatized, militarized, entrenched global bureaucracy - that is fully operational and running the country.
