Police State

A quick breakdown of new surveillance technologies coming online that will all be hooked together to end privacy as we've known it.

Who does DHS plan to kill with its 1.2 billion rounds of hollow point ammunition?
"In the war in Iraq, our military forces expended approximately 70 million rounds per year. In March DHS ordered 750 million rounds of hollow point ammunition. It then turned around and ordered an additional 750 million rounds of miscellaneous bullets including some that are capable of penetrating walls. This is enough ammunition to empty five rounds into the body of every living American citizen. Is this something we and the Congress should be concerned about? What’s the plan that requires so many dead Americans, even during times of civil unrest? Has Congress and the Administration vetted the plan in public."
Americans.

A judge sentenced the ex-Marine who made vague threats on Facebook to a month in psychiatric ward without a trial. A lot of people, including me, throw around the term police state, but incarceration without a trial and without recourse is the ultimate expression of the police state. It's here.
