(32,324 posts)Actual writing on offical CIA website, circa Dec 2001:
"The extreme obstacle for the CIA is currently having a way to program American military to turn on American civilians."
I am paraphrasing, but that remark was on those pages. Not somebody's blog about the CIA - this was the CIA's actual website.
The war the USA has waged against the people of Iraq, and the people of Afghanistan, and many places where Muslims live, in part that war was brought about to install in soldiers the notion that only their safety was important. The brutality by which American service people enetered people's homes, slammed the men women and children to the ground, and then rounded up the men and took them off to infamous black holes such as Abu Ghrab, all those tactics were brought about to re-condition human beings into the equivalent of Nazi Storm troopers.
We now see the murderous rage with which the police across our nation respond to any and everything.
Our legislatures across the nation are filled with like minded Nazis. In Illinois, on Dec 2nd, 2014, the state legislature had language inside a bill making it a felony to photograph or in any way record any police activity, without prior permission!
