I'm sitting in a quiet spot, the only sounds are the fans moving the air. In a time like this I'm thinking of who we are, what we are, and where we are going. It can be disconcerting at times. I've been on this planet for 64 years, I've had a good life, I've experienced some bad times. I've met a lot of people and many of them are still with me, even those who have left this realm to go on to further adventures.
We are living in a police state, a place where fear rules, people are afraid to speak because they fear disruption to their small circle of life, or fear for their family, their existence, their future.
Here is an article that describes our world today and gives some insight into why we see no mass outcry about what is happening.
Here is another article that describes how we have fallen victim to the police state, why we see so much abuse of civil liberties by the police who were once seen as the force protecting us from evil. This article demonstrates how police are using 'charges' as a way to suppress speech and assembly and how some people are on watch lists.
This next item is a report by some scholars at NYU who did a thorough investigation of NYPD tactics and actions during the Occupy Wall Street encampment and protest. More insight into our police state and how it operates.
This article explains what the NSA (National Security Agency) is doing now. It is a revelation from a whistleblower, a person who knows and as a citizen of this country has spoken out. I find it ironic that to get a story like this you have to go to a foreign news source.
Now it is time to think some more.... maybe you need to do some thinking too..I'm wondering when thought will be deemed a terrorist act?
