Why you should not only support but start helping and resisting now, if the militarization of our police force does not scare you, it should. When men dress, equip, and think like they’re in a war against an enemy, they start treating ordinary non-violent citizens as if they’re the enemy then treat them accordingly. After Hitler’s Nazi Germany finally fell pastor Martin Niemöller said; “First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.” He said this when telling of the idle citizens and intellectuals who allowed the Nazis to rise to power without any meaningful resistance. There, like here, a majority of the people wake up each day not thinking a thing wrong, oblivious, while their corporate bought country and paid for politicians usurp their rights, allow lobbyists to write laws, and militarize our police forces. The militarized police forces, the new Storm Troopers are here to quash any and all threats to their transformation from our once great Republic to their Corporate Fascist Police States of America. We are the 99%, this means YOU. Nazi Germany did not happen overnight and if not resisted and stopped The Corporate Fascist Police States of America will be the reality. It started over thirty years ago and for the last ten they have sped up so fast most won’t realize it till it too late. If you are not in the 1% you will be in one of two classes, the enforcer/oppressor or the voiceless/oppressed class. The best advice on can give is, turn off the T.V, stop listening to cable Newspeak, and educate yourself. Think for yourself, don’t let others do it for you because they are and will continue until we all say “I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!” So I am asking you, my fellow citizens of the United States and the world; If not us who? If not now when? If not here where? The window of time is shutting; don’t let it finished being closed then locked while on the wrong side.
