With the borders open for terrorists to walk across, government paramilitary units are invading 124 American homes per night
Nestled awkwardly among the usual guff, the outrage website Salon this week took a welcome flyer and accorded space to something genuinely alarming. “A SWAT team,” the headline screamed, “blew a hole in my 2-year-old son.” For once, this wasn’t hyperbole.
Paramilitary operations, the ACLU concluded, are “happening in about 124 homes every day — or more likely every night” — and four in five of those are performed in order that authorities might “search homes, usually for drugs.” Such raids routinely involve “armored personnel carriers,” “military equipment like battering rams,” and “flashbang grenades.”

Remember to thank Nixon and his War on Drugs (and antiwar hippies like myself) for this mess.
A little more ‘perspective’ on this:
Although Nixon declared “drug abuse” to be public enemy number one in 1971, the policies that his administration implemented as part of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 were a continuation of drug prohibition policies in the U.S., which started in 1914.

A Brief History of the Drug War
Many currently illegal drugs, such as marijuana, opium, coca, and psychedelics have been used for thousands of years for both medical and spiritual purposes.
The Early Stages of Drug Prohibition
Why are some drugs legal and other drugs illegal today? It’s not based on any scientific assessment of the relative risks of these drugs – but it has everything to do with who is associated with these drugs.
The first anti-opium laws in the 1870s were directed at Chinese immigrants. The first anti-cocaine laws, in the South in the early 1900s, were directed at black men. The first anti-marijuana laws, in the Midwest and the Southwest in the 1910s and 20s, were directed at Mexican migrants and Mexican Americans. Today, Latino and especially black communities are still subject to wildly disproportionate drug enforcement and sentencing practices.

emsnews,
I really do not care who started it. It does not really matter because the actual divide is between the ‘Political Class’ and the ‘Productive Class’ they are sucking the wealth from. The Political Class steals from the ‘Productive Class’ and uses that wealth to buy power.
George Bernard Shaw, a founding member of Fabian Socialism said:
“A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”
And how do these Fabian socialists plan to use that power?
Are we talking cattle or chattel here?
And what do we find in George Bernard Shaw’s homeland run by the Fabians??? – Active measures for killing off the Useless Eaters
METHOD #1 – the indirect method.
From the UK Mirror: As energy prices go through the roof, shocking figures reveal one in four families has been plunged into fuel poverty.
From the UK Metro: Almost 3,000 people in England and Wales die each year as a result of fuel poverty, more than are killed in road accidents, an inquiry has found.
From the BBC: There are 27,000 extra deaths in the UK each winter compared to other times of year, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics. The report found most of this was due to cold weather…
And the Express UK: Experts predict a massive spike in death rates – with up to 60,000 more people dying than average because of the wintry conditions. The British civilian death toll in the Second World War was 67,000.
METHOD #2 – the direct method.
But are those people terminally ill?
These comments sums it up:
And it is not just the old who are targeted, they are killing off children too.
Sick children are being placed on a controversial end-of-life “pathway” previously only thought to have been used for elderly and terminally-ill adult patients.
Socialism really does have an ugly face when you bother to dig behind the smiling touchy feely do-good facade.
From the UK Gaurdian: Eugenics: the skeleton that rattles loudest in the left’s closet – Socialism’s one-time interest in eugenics is dismissed as an accident of history. But the truth is far more unpalatable
Except it is not dead: 2004 – Why is the Royal Society Hosting a Pro-eugenics Conference?

It actually starts much earlier than that, with when one of the first ‘junk science’ victories banning hemp (yes, the war on marijuana was really a war on the production of hemp paper) followed closely by Prohibition.
He declared a war on us hippies which was quite violent. Remember: the tools used against ‘people you don’t like’ usually end up applying to yourself.
emsnews, you allied yourselves with violent commies and others. Blame yourselves for your stupidity.
Your good buddy is now running the country with one of those violent types called Ayers who assisted his coronation.
If we actually followed the Constitution the ‘war on drugs’ would have been declared unconstitutional, if it ever got off the ground. The necessity for a Constitutional Amendment to ban alcohol is proof of this. The federal government has long ago overstepped its bounds.
Maybe we should start calling them Swatsi units?
No-knock SWAT raids, on the whole, are an utter, unconstitutional abomination. Under no standard are they required for warrant service for drugs, credit card fraud, student loan defaults, or 99% of the other reasons they get used. Clearly, the courts cannot be trusted to uphold constitutional rights and protections when authorizing no-knock raids. A higher standard (grand jury indictment, higher-level court, something else?) is needed to authorize them. As it is, they are nothing more than an abusive violation of the constitutional rights of private citizens.
Patriot Act = No Constitutional Rights
