Yes we all know what is going on. It's not a secret and hasn't been for a long while. Many people prefer not to talk about it but it's been going on. "No more hesitation" targets depicting people in bathrobes in their homes as targets. This is something they asked for and some company sold. Now they say they stopped selling them. But word has it, they simply created a new entity that sells that stuff exclusively and does not deal with any public at all.

And as others point out, one person in his home, or even a handful of people in their homes cannot hope to hold off these people. I don't expect it to either. But look what happened to the BATF after Waco. Completely neutered for a while until recently.

The best answer for now is people to keep talking about it. Talking is working to some degree. Those people out there saying "wait and see before you take action" are forgetting what has happened already and what is happening now. We can all face them down together or let fear paralyze the nation. People who use fear to get their way are terrorists. If you're afraid of your government and their enforcers, and if you're afraid to even talk about it? Guess who the terrorists actually are.

They aren't asking for it. They have taken and assumed it.

It's that simple. If they are not properly commissioned law enforcement officers then they are impersonating police and it is perfectly okay to answer deadly force with deadly force especially when they break into your home.

To add clarity to the topic, I see the change in tactics and tactical advantage as extremely disturbing.

The shift is from combat and other conflict engagement to robotic herd management where machines are used to cull the herds of human resources out there.

I see the next evolution as such devices being issued to police and local military forces operating in the US. They can and likely will be used to issue orders and directives about targets further disabling human choice and decision making. You may have already heard about the "zero hesitaiton targets" being used in police and other government training. It is surprisingly hard to overcome humanity and morality in government employees, but they are working VERY hard to overcome it and rather successfully I might add. Keep in mind that's one of the core issues with the use of drones. They remove "humans" from the morality and humanity of a situation, turning deadly operations into a score-keeping video game with a great deal less accountability and conscience.

Or I could just call it "terminator vision" and hope people understand the depth of what I mean.

That, of course, would not happen. "Gold standards" have been destroyed by the central banks of the world. Global fraud as to the location and quantity of gold available is still a quiet and under-reported scandal. It is not in the interests of the banks to rely on something which they cannot easily manipulate. We have seen that a great deal in the past even to the point that they over-sold gold and silver certificates by a wide margin. They always seek to do this and will always seek to do this. These kinda of things are the reasons banking regulations have been put into place. And now they wish to deregulate. What could possibly go wrong?

The generalities and principles of what I speak are pretty universal. It is arrogant to believe that those general principles do not hold true for all time.

That's a good point. You're saying manipulating currency wouldn't be as "noticable." But it would be even more dangerous. Controlling the money means controlling the world. The US does not control the world and the world has been pushing back to prove it. This is not delusion. This is watching events from other global perspectives, not just the carefully selective feeds available in the US.

Well since you put it that way, I guess it's all okay because "everyone is [likely] doing it." But apparently that isn't really the case. In fact, the US is one of the greatest sources of spyware both commercial and "unsanctioned." We sell it to governments like Iran on a regular basis. And if other governments were really doing it, do you think they believed we weren't while they were? They kept using all US technologies the entire time? I find that to be highly unlikely. I think what fits observable reality better is that they aren't doing it (infecting exported products and services) and believe the US wouldn't be that bold or stupid as it would literally jeopardize the US's global marketplace if it were discovered.

If you test that theory against observable reality, I'd say that fits much better than what you're suggesting.

Normally, yes, but I wanted them in a line.

Go!

Regulation they are seeking to remove was not an arbitrary measure. In fact, the regulation of government which is the constitution was not an arbitrary measure. For many hundreds, if not thousands of years, people have known well and understood human nature and the nature of currencies. We keep having to re-learn many of these things as if they are new or our arrogance makes us believe old measures are no longer applicable.

A simple truth is this. The only way for man to be more than he is, is to live within a structure of laws which limit the harm we can do to one another while enabling the best of what we can do.

The nature of financial regulation is to limit the harm that can be done to the world's financial systems. It is generally agreed that the prior global financial crisis (which is still going on, I will remind you) was the result of similar collusion to relax regulations. The harm of 'the first wave' is still being felt and remedies of the causes have been limited. (Aren't you at all concerned that the markets are enjoying amazing vibrancy while the pedestrian [producing] economy is still pretty bad?) To allow a second wave to occur simply because it hsn't been finalized is to fail to appreciate the general nature of what is being attempted.

What you are advocating is dangerous and akin to "let's pass it so we can see what is in it." And in the US where there is a dark and ugly history of legislation being passed in the dead of night? You would trust to let things get that close? I think you trust government too much.

Multiple currencies means that currencies, and the nations backing them, compete and values will fluctuate against one another but, in theory, not terribly so. We can see the problems of the manipulations of the US dollar even now and the "QE" is still going on meaning they are continuing to devalue the dollar. Imagine that kind of scamsmanship on a 100% global scale?

A world currency means whoever controls the currency controls the world. There is no, and can be no, democracy there. There is none in the US where the privately owned and controlled Federal Reserve Bank system is concerned. And before you or anyone else says "but they are accountable to..." Yeah? Learn about the year-after-year-after-year continuing effort to do an audit on the Federal Reserve and see how far we have gotten. They AREN'T accountable to anyone as long as we cannot intervene, let alone review what they are doing.

What they are trying to do is pretty obvious. The final will not differ greatly from the drafts. We have seen all of this before. Your wait and see attitude is what enables the creep to go forward. It's time to be done with that. It just doesn't work.

And once it's official? What then? "Too late?!"

This is the point of all this. As these things are happening, they need to be stopped not after they are enacted. Do you prefer to prevent disease or cure it after it happens?
