October 7, 2012. Vicksburg. The federal government calls them FEMA Corps. But they conjure up memories of the Hitler Youth of 1930’s Germany. Regardless of their name, the Dept of Homeland Security has just graduated its first class of 231 Homeland Youth. Kids, aged 18-24 and recruited from the President’s AmeriCorp volunteers, they represent the first wave of DHS’s youth corps, designed specifically to create a full time, paid, standing army of FEMA Youth across the country.
One look at a chart of DHS ammunition purchases over the past decade reveals a drastic spike in orders of bullets recently, totaling in the billions of rounds. Other charts available online show a similar drastic spike in the purchases of accompanying weaponry by the Department of Homeland Security.
With drones being used on citizens, and numerous other programs like this, I have to wonder when people will wake up and realize what has happened to their freedom. Americans have been dumbed down to a point that I am not sure they can ever recover.
Time to "duck and cover" people.
If you thought it's been nasty before this, wait and see!
Oh, I don't know. If you recall, the Brownshirts were pretty numerous. This bunch only got 250 together. Where they gonna put 'em? Spread 'em out over the whole US.
I'm not saying its not a really bad idea, or that it should be tolerated. I'm saying we shouldn't get alarmed about their effectiveness just, yet. There is still plenty of time to sink this program.
It occurs to me that this program comes along at a time when most of the WWII generation are already gone. Meaning, the grandmothers and grandfathers who could expose this to the grandkid candidates for the program are gone mostly gone. The eye-witnesses to that time period are getting thin on the ground.
I think that everyone who is frightened should find an attic to hide in. Don't make a sound. We will tell you when it's safe to come out. (Thanks Lewis Black).
"You see," my colleague went on, "one doesn’t see exactly where or how to move. Believe me, this is true. Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join with you in resisting somehow. You don’t want to act, or even talk, alone; you don’t want to ‘go out of your way to make trouble.’ Why not?—Well, you are not in the habit of doing it. And it is not just fear, fear of standing alone, that restrains you; it is also genuine uncertainty.
"And you are an alarmist. You are saying that this must lead to this, and you can’t prove it. These are the beginnings, yes; but how do you know for sure when you don’t know the end, and how do you know, or even surmise, the end? On the one hand, your enemies, the law, the regime, the Party, intimidate you. On the other, your colleagues pooh-pooh you as pessimistic or even neurotic. You are left with your close friends, who are, naturally, people who have always thought as you have.
Milton Mayer's They thought they Were Free [ http://educate-yourself.org/cn/thoughttheywerefree20apr05.shtml ] ETA by skidmark
Free book if you have an e-reader and one I highly recommend. Written shortly after WWII, and trying to get to the basis of why good people would allow a wicked government.
I also recommend Ludwig Von Mises Omnipotent Government. [ http://www.hacer.org/pdf/Mises12.pdf ] - aaslo ETA by skidmark Written before the end of of the war. Like Skidmark brought out the similiarities, to me are scary.
Oh, I don't know. If you recall, the Brownshirts were pretty numerous. This bunch only got 250 together. Where they gonna put 'em? Spread 'em out over the whole US.
