(11,197 posts)by not taking care of business within the US first. Due to 9-11, the Patriot Act and Homeland Security, way too many police forces within the US are being militarized by the MIC and our own government. And talk about an out of control police forces. Not a week goes by when you don't hear about some cops someplace abusing their authority to the harm of civilians. And the good cops don't do anything about it.
If the people wait too long to try to resolve our own problems it will be too late to change anything. There is a potential that, if we don't become like pre-WWII/WWII Germany we might find ourselves in the same predicament that the civilians of Syria (and other countries were civilians are victimized by their own government) are in. Do you really think that the 1%ers, Corporate Overlords, and the MIC are going to allow the masses to take back control over our country, thus threatening their control and wealth?
