What many of you seem to miss is that the precipice gets moved forward for each new layer of tyranny the world accepts. You can observe this pattern all through history. Remember the militarization of the police after 911? The TSA just two months after? The fed in 1913 or whenever it was? Does anyone bat an eye about these things now?
To bring the precipice into the present requires some sort of push back for each ever escalating card the enemy plays.
