Re: Military IS funding social studies programs to counter civil unrest

It never was Ken, see my earlier post.

I'm a true Anarchist not the kind that has been mis-construed to meaning Chaos.

True Anarchy is having minimal Central Govt. and each community governs itself. The community elects decent people to run the affairs of the community and negotiates with other communities regarding roading and other infrastructure. The role of Central  Govt. is to maintain a peaceful society, schools and hospitals etc. Each community collects it's own taxes part of which goes to the Central Govt.

Sounds like fun before the Nazis came and ruined it.

On the other hand:

When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites and/or with organised interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the US political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favour policy change, they generally do not get it.

They conclude:

Americans do enjoy many features central to democratic governance, such as regular elections, freedom of speech and association and a widespread (if still contested) franchise. But we believe that if policymaking is dominated by powerful business organisations and a small number of affluent Americans, then America's claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened.

Eric Zuess, writing in Counterpunch, isn't surprised by the survey's results.

"American democracy is a sham, no matter how much it's pumped by the oligarchs who run the country (and who control the nation's "news" media)," he writes. "The US, in other words, is basically similar to Russia or most other dubious 'electoral' 'democratic' countries. We weren't formerly, but we clearly are now."

This is the "Duh Report", says Death and Taxes magazine's Robyn Pennacchia. Maybe, she writes, Americans should just accept their fate.

"Perhaps we ought to suck it up, admit we have a classist society and do like England where we have a House of Lords and a House of Commoners," she writes, "instead of pretending as though we all have some kind of equal opportunity here."

This shows that as history repeats itself we are likely to see a major depression even though our recession is as close to it as possible. Just like the late 1920's. Some of the elite have also stated that the rest need recognize their wealth is the result of luck mixed with the grace of the land, and they should help give back some of that wealth to keep the nation in good economic shape by paying their fair share of taxes.

Sadly, as seen in other news, The Rich get a different justice for crimes than the poor. Poor commit crimes they go to prison, the rich get to go to a rehab and roam around still at large.

America is fragmented along similar lines across all parts of society.

It took an FDR to make a difference for the people.
By comparison, OB1 is a bankster groupie like Wilson.

Yes, he has shown himself to be just another president under the corporate thumb. I think the Elites do not wish for another FDR to come along, yet we really need a modern variant of FDR and a real new deal, not empty promises. Strong middle class after WW-II is what boomed our economy for some time, we need to do a peace time economy and drop much of what we spend on the warmachine/contractors, we spend waaaaaay too much on weapons that either work, or barely work, many contractors never deliver on their goods as they promised, just over glorified weapon grade edsels

Before we reform and restructure, it will be time for the 5th great lie von Braun warned us about -- ET Invasion. I'd offer a link, but am currently restricted ... see Fear on my website.

I may need a fresh link to the site

kenmcclellan DOT net or something like that.

Maybe Von Brown was not lying bit simply giving us a part of the plot. There is always some truths to everything. The Nazis did not lose the war, it was by design pretty much as today's happening is by design. All government s support each other using democracy has the main tool, which seems to be working very well as long as they have access to the public's money.

SWAT Police Caught Setting Fires In Ferguson

I suppose they didn't get to play with all the toys they picked up from the military yet.

What did Henry the Douche used to say?  

Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond [see Von Braun's Lie #5], whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.

If you go to Youtube and search for Database Exposes Military Equipment Your Local PD has Been Stockpiling! and follow the links ... you can see the gazillion M16s and heavy equipment your town got from the DoD.

The good news is that the tyranny (see Lock Step in the Rockefeller Foundation document) is only supposed to last until 2025. Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development.

[Monk (in hiding)]

Many small towns now are equipped with armored vehicles thanks to the DoD.

[Lenzabi]

Ken, i did have the site bookmarked, and found it.

Yep, the small towns cannot afford the road repairs the heavy MRAPs and such cause due to their weight ripping up the roads they have, and the gas they guzzle. But Militarized police, some soldiers in Afghanistan never see that much body armor as those cops have.

[Ken McClellan]

see what set revolutions off in the past. The French Revolution was a clear example

The inability to feed one's family pretty much did the trick. So if they can get the population on minimum wage or subsidies, they might be able to keep the top 10th of 1 percent making huge profits and telling each other that the rest of us should eat cake if we don't like our moldy bread. By the way, their design is for the rest of us to be their slaves. So the logical thing is for the government subsidies and wages to become food ... and then for that to be withdrawn as well. At which point there's a race that will go the way of Neanderthal and Denisovan. It won't be pretty.

Len, what are they going to do with all the excess weapons they have accumulated? I hardly think they throw them away, plus there will always be a Furguson since there is no hurry yo change anything. I have no clue as to how the US escaped a depression, however miracles do happen. The low oil prices seem to be lelping some and harming some.

Nope Revolutions and other similar things including schemes to make people die off so the still left alive feel lucky never is pretty.

The weapons they have will be ready for when needed by them, the massive armored trucks and tanks on the other hand are no good for the small budgest for infrastructure repairs they have, so those will likely sit idle and rust away
