Obama's Droning Drones and the Schutzstaffel

            The question is, “What kind of training do ‘federal agents’ receive?”  We as an American people seem to know little about the Department of Homeland Security other than they and their partners are requiring 1.8 billion hollow point .40 bullets over the next four to five years.  With the traditional American military, it is transparent with a tried and true protocol for training.  We as a populace have been exposed to this entity, as it has been a core part of our existence since the birth of this country.  With each successive war usually it has been very clear the role of the military in our national defense.  Desert Storm was well covered by the television media.  The Iraq war less so, because it became dangerous for journalists.  Prudent, dedicated, and honest reporters found ways to present the truth to the American public.  That has changed dramatically with the “sprawl” of media driven both by cable television and the internet.  The boundaries have become blurred between entertainment and news.  It is not dissimilar to “Big Brother” in Orwell’s novel l984.  The goal was this blurring of boundaries between the truth and governmental propaganda.  It seems this may have come to fruition in the U.S.  It has been widely reported by former reputable news anchors that lies intentionally are being spread by dishonest, self-serving, potentially harmful politicians desperate for their government subsidized paychecks.  The expansion of a relatively new government-employed civilian-staffed “para-military” cannot help but be met with question.  Because George W. Bush created this agency in light of the 9/11 attacks at a time of impending war, its constitution seems to be shrouded in secrecy.  Similarly to our military, the CIA and FBI while often performing covert actions, at least are watch dogged by the public and our representative elected officials.  It seems the Department of Homeland Security is another entity all together.  With such a political dynamic of unbridled intelligence gathering by President Obama’s drone program (of which we know little), it has become to appear that America has an additional force responsible for the existence, location, and eradicating of terror movement before they become volatile.  Who is overseeing this movement?  Which wing of our military is operating the drones?  What administrative body is performing the appropriate checks and balances in compliance with the Geneva Convention?  With Rand Paul’s recent lengthy filibuster, it seems President Obama himself has blurred the boundaries of due process and would rather murder suspects covertly with little to no accountability to the American people.  With such a large bullet purchase for the DHS creating a huge shortage of ammunition for American citizens, one cannot help but see a pattern beginning to unfold.  It probably is true this depletion of rounds also was created by the hoarding of ammunition by people feeling an ensuing jeopardizing of their Second Ammendment rights.  There are many ways to look at it that have been verbalized.  My personal sentiment is we do not want in America a secretive, well-armed, para-military force empowered with the task of implementing our President’s covert agenda.  Forces of these types traditionally in history and more specifically in Hitler's Nazi controlled Germany were called the S.S. or Schutzstaffel  Resemblances to this Nazism are not prone to advance the popularity of a sitting second term American president who now could be attempting to implement the original intentions of his sponsors.  Likewise questionable legislation and cabinet picks are not helping the situation.  I voted for President Obama and patiently am waiting for the appearance of an affordable health care plan for me and others around me that cannot afford it.  In light of a particular’s state rejection of 2 billions dollars of federal aid for Medicaid expansion to the poor, I am beginning to feel more and more like a surf rather than a middle-classed American.  This is not a good feeling, and the creation of a private para-military force for the President along with the all ready burgeoning Ft. Bragg Regional Alliance and its directives for Base Realignment and Closure have life where I live resembling a police state.  Some reassurance for my personal security would be appreciated, because the sound of that turbo-charged four cylinder drone engine flying continuously over my house is annoying. 

Manmade Governmental Violence

 

            It truly is a complicated America in which we live.  There is no question there is violence around us.  In particular dwelling in a military community is a very different experience than say living in a college town.  When first experiencing a college town it is quite the surprise.  Small cafes, nightclubs, and shops are prevalent catering to the students.  There is art, intellect, and camaraderie.  Traditionally in decades past there was a similar brotherhood amongst service men and women.  American government used patriotism to create this mainstream.  Despite the inescapable responsibilities of impending war, military personal shared a hearty kinship.  Today American government pays soldiers more money to justify their premature deaths in the Middle East.  It is a different animal.  The dynamic of living in a military community drastically has changed as has America.  The mainstream has been lost, and as in real life many of the tenants of culture have been replaced with sheer denial.  Why has this occurred?  If one peruses the American landscape things have changed.  We no longer are a holistic, natural, spiritual country.  Instead we have been turned away from the very elements that attracted immigrants to America in the first place.  Conspicuously our industrial base has shrunk, our factories have closed or moved, and again with the emergence of skyscrapers in Manhattan we as Americans are looking up to see who is controlling the purse strings.  Who are these people?  Before that question should be answered it is more important to examine social issues that affect the American people.  We have heard enough about Wall Street, Washington, and the Middle East.  How about what’s happening with Americans?  Firstly why are mass shooting increasing?  There must be a concrete reason why citizens are committing mass murder.  What could be the stimulus motivating young people to arm themselves as commandoes and blindly murder dozens of innocent school children?  Could it be President Obama’s newly expanded and reinforced Paramilitary?  We all ready have seen the negative repercussions of hiring private security firms to try to implement policies overseas.  Blackwater among others have proven they like European governments do not possess the ethical or moral qualifications necessary to implement a Christian or Islamic doctrine.  Relying upon a relatively new, covert, and inexperienced nonmilitary body to fight terrorism is a stretch.  With military spending solely having created America’s trillion dollars plus deficit, why is the President expanding this particular agency?  We all ready have the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation both laden with acts of inappropriate sexual misconduct.  Is the President attempting to sidestep the nation’s tradition governmental infrastructure and implement his own personal agenda unbeknownst to the American people.  With his forthright unwillingness to divulge more pertinent information on his drone policy, it is becoming clear that something is happening with the President that must be discovered.  While the elimination of Osama Bin Laden was monumental as was the downfall of Moammar Gadhafi’s political regime, wartime executive powers cannot and should not define the role of America’s president.  He like everyone else on this planet must adhere to and abide by the same set of rules for man.  Muslim extremists also wanted to sidestep this human responsibility choosing to rape, murder, and pillage women rather than learning to deal with them as people.  Was it easier to wait for virgins in heaven than to do what every other man on earth must do?  These shortcuts are a sign of the weak, because it means one is not willing to take the time to deal with humanity.  There can be no shortcuts spiritually, politically, or economically.  President Obama must operate in the traditional construct of the American Presidency and not abuse war time granted executive powers.  All ready we have seen the most destructive and unconstitutional legislation created in America’s history degrade the fundamental and founding principals of the American Republic.  Daily and with complete deliberation  government and its protective wing of media continue to do this.  Rarely do you hear President Obama speak of past presidents and their policies showing his knowledge of the history of America.  How can one aspire to be a truly great president with no evident role models?  The term anti-trust jumps to mind.  With the systematic rebuilding of America’s dangerous trusts, loopholes have been created that severely undermine the American economy.  If the most powerful and affluent corporations in America earning a majority of their revenue via American commerce, how is it that income is immune from the American income tax?  How can poor Americans inexplicably be expected to pay down a national debt so large it usurps the GDP of many nations?  It is absurd, and the idea that General Electric is exempt from its responsibility to subsidize the American government visibly and with oversight is an atrocity.   We already know the covert money, the money that is off the table and out of sight of the American people is what is driving policy.  It always has.  These things we know.  What we don’t know is why innocent people are being murdered.  Sigmund Freud if he were alive could be of service.  Yes, we are getting the shaft but not just economically.  Our environment, once an inviting and nurturing place for human existence and growth has become polluted with the tenants of war.  As living in a military town with little to no patriotic sentiment, the construction and implementation of violence can be overwhelming.  When one is exposed to on a daily basis the tenants of war, how is one not to realize these mechanisms easily could turn against us?  With one evil dictator and a subversive, unproductive, and recalcitrant Congress it is plausible to the American people we should be worried.  After all the idea of a drone raining down on you incomprehensibly at a street corner in mainstream America is of concern.  It should be.  I listen to a drone above my head daily that I wonder what its mission is.  Is it to protect?  Is it to serve?  How are we to know when our President will not be forthcoming with his covert terror-fighting force.  If these policies are going to seep to American soil we as a populace have the right to understand new procedures.  For those with rational minds still the job of remaining optimistic is daunting.  With the recent passing of 2012, still we are not sure of the lineage of events outlined in the Book of Revelations.  How many of the foreshadowing occurrences have passed?  Keeping the American people in good spirits is in no way the intent of our current federal government.  They have not proven it.  We must assume the American people have been put out to pasture to feast on unhealthy fast food.  We are not literate enough.  We are not savvy enough to understand.  We do not care.  When mass shootings continue to emerge, a look must be taken into their causes.  Being at war does not set a good example for young people.  Warmongering is a trite, cheap, and ineffective long term investment in the world’s economy.  Art would be a better choice.  The heating of our planet with invisible electromagnetic waves of all frequencies is not prudent.  In addition they have been proven unequivocally to cause cancer in the human body.  Still mass wireless telecommunications become a major component of our economy.  When people resort to violence, usually it is an act of impatience.  One has been taxed to the limit, and they decide the current state of affairs is not worth tolerating.  They would rather die, and for some reason decide to take others with them.  If we want the violence to stop, then policy changes in our governmental system need to occur.  A whole new philosophy of existence must be entertained, contemplated, and implemented.  Maybe it is by God only this process is possible.  Let’s hope the puny existence of man will endure a few more years. 

A Well-Armed Militia, not a Well-Armed Department of Homeland Security

 

            Relatively new in existence, the United States’ Department of Homeland Security recently made news by purchasing 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition.  With the recent shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut it seems consumer level gun advocacy has increased along with its brother, the federal government.  It is a complicated issue.  The gun violence has spread and now includes malls, movie theaters, and schools.  It in the wake of dying elementary school children it must be addressed, and it seems logical a ban on large clipped semi-automatic rifles is appropriate.  While the gunmen carry a compliment of artillery including pistols with multiple clips, the ease of destruction provided by an assault rifle seems to facilitate the act of mass murder.  This gruesomely and graphically was depicted by innocent school children found laden with bullets.  It was appropriate our President Obama recommended some call to action.  The NRA, one of the largest lobbying institutions in our history, responded as did the American public.  Feverishly it seems many Americans began to buy more guns and ammunition in response to what could become an encroachment upon America’s second amendment rights to bear arms.  The kicker is, the DHS’s purchasing of that many bullets cleverly has stoked a conspiracy theory that is credible.  Very much like each and every other “bubble” that has been created, this action is being prosperous for a select few.  Who’s to say Smith and Wesson’s stockowners do not deserve the 40% increase in sales, but who are they?  Who’s to say whether the troubled teenager that committed the murder  was being coerced by a larger party?  Isn’t it plausible citizens exhibiting mental instability could be manipulated by the properly trained institutions?  Isn’t this what terrorist networks have proven to do?  They bring foreigners onto the United States’ native soul and train them with our own educational systems thus manipulating our own infrastructure.  It is possible cults historically driven by mental illness created the mold.  While entertaining this possibility is secondary to the issue at hand, it is important.  More importantly is how Capitalism plays into this scenario.  Who is profiting from this violence?  The United States traditionally herself has profited from war, but is this how we want to continue fertilizing our economy?  Warmongering is not a reputable activity nor is it inspiring artistically, spiritually, or socially.  What is inspiring and fueling to our ailing economy are grassroots programs to return America to a likeness of her former self.  It seems we as a populace driven by what has become a corrupt media and telecommunications industry, have lost sight of our own history.  With the exception of certain notable television networks such as the History Channel, The Learning Channel, and The Discovery Channel the rest of media like Hollywood has turned into a metro-sexual, pop, group masturbation.  The intent is to disguise and then destroy our ability to distinguish gender and make responsible decisions based upon logic, wisdom, and self-preservation.  The dramatic intentional decline in support of our public education systems seems to have reduced our young people’s ability to find a traditional quality American education.  Even schooling by rote driven by the act of trial and error has been circumvented as traditional social systems of interacting in person have been replaced by gaming devices and social media.  We are building a non-work force of weak, emotionally stunted, spineless androids.  With no new jobs on the front, what’s the difference?  We have digressed so miserably from America’s former greatness who cares?  Do we even want to take a stand?  Along with this mis-education an infringement of our Second Amendment’s rights to establish a well armed militia is disconcerting.  Not only are we not educating our young people, we are priming them to be submissive, passive, compliant citizens.  This is alarming.  With its recent purchase of 1.6 billion bullets, in addition to gun manufacturers becoming more prosperous, the availability of ammunition for OUR well-armed militia, our last line of defense against invaders, has become compromised.  In an ironic twist some cities are having trouble providing proper

ammunition for their local police forces.  It seems no one wins, except for our federal government.  It seems some clarification is in order.  Why was such a massive purchase necessary at this time instead of more moderate pro-rated purchases?  Isn’t it necessary to ensure the rights of America’s citizens?  We are after all the people for whom the federal government should serve, although many of our Washington lawmakers have forgotten this.  It seems history is repeating itself, but who is teaching this?  The once powerful trusts that controlled industry also controlled the government.  Sound familiar?  In a very deliberate but incognito program the path of America has been chosen and implemented.

Before this well known but misunderstood group of affluent individuals is mentioned, it is relatively clear with recent events Americans' toes are being stepped upon with what seems to be a growing Communistic movement.  I do not mean Socialistic, as I for one as a citizen of the United States favor the quintessential nature of Socialism over Capitalism.  It simply is a publicly owned “Means of Production” rather than a privately owned one employing a public work force.  It has been well documented in many other countries man is not ethical or moral enough to uphold the principals of Socialism.  It failed and developed into Communism.   This trend of government spending both for our military and now for arming of civilian government employees including agents of our Social Security system (with its existence threatened regularly) seems questionable.  Who is the priority?  Is our right to a well-armed militia, the right of citizens to be able to obtain and purchase suitable firearms and ammunition, usurped by the need of the Department of Homeland Security to train its agents?  I think not.
