The surveillance state is much older than most people know

But times have changed drastically in that today its gimlet eyes are set on the right -- the real right, the lite right, even the quasi-right.

Is the US a Police State? When wasn't it? 

As you view this 45-minute 1971 documentary, remember that it's benign groups that call for a return to Constitutional government like your Patriot Network that the moles and entrapment artists focus on. Notice that the FBI is heavily implicated; normally the CIA is the big spy club that gets exposed for overkill and virtual treason against the citizens.

The "new world order" mob has now actually got itself convinced that the main threat to civilization (besides the "terr'ists") is the now-toothless, gutless Tea Party. That's how removed they are from the universe of reality in which the rest of humanity lives.

Above all, we must take full stock of the fact that the government agents purporting to stave off subversion are in fact the main subversives a shocking percentage of the time. In the beginning of the video is an assertion of my own thesis that government's biggest undertaking today is causing or even merely tricking up the appearance of crises to "save" us from. By about minute 23:00, witnesses and former perpetrators are saying that there were double, triple, even quadruple agents who switched sides so many times "nobody was really sure who they were working for" -- the grassroots groups under scrutiny, or the government scrutinizers/ framers/ entrappers.

It's always been a thin line between government using provocateurs to smoke out any actual trouble that's brewing and government using provocateurs to foment trouble to brag that they're protecting us from, complete with mass jailings as with the "Hutaree Militia" fiasco of a few years back -- mini-Guantanamos right here in the lower 48.

Today the line is just about submicroscopic as government mainly exists to frame mainstream America as its own worst enemy, to make normalcy look frightful, to transform the foreign terror threat it has rigged up into a situation where Americans are so phobic about each other they're willing to report any hint of deviation from the party line to the "authorities" -- "See Something, Say Something" and all that excrement.

Since we've sat still for the government scripting and then producing a Mideastern "terror" psychosis on us complete with tanks, surges and "depleted" uranium, they realize the sheeple will swallow anything, even penetrating fear of their own shadow and a Soviet Socialist imitation of life.

Lights! Camera! Action! Menacing shadows! Shocknig headlines! Whew, we're saved again!
